"The Truth About Nebraska"

This is the title of a 24-page folder
recently issued by the Burlington
route and containing, besides brief
introduction. nine letters from resi-
dents of the state, setting forth their
experiences since they settled in
Nebraska.
The letters make it clear that the
man who comes to Nebraska with few
hundred dollars, a good head and 9
stout heart can, in the course of few
years, be independent of landlords
rent-day, and all the other miseries
which make life struggle for the ten
ant of an eastern farm. They demon
strate that the money he pays for the
rent of farm anywhere east of the
Missouri river will buy a better farm
west of it, They show that Nebrasks

AUTHORITIES OUTWITTED.
Lewis Odlsud, the Faster, Taken to
Madison, Wisconsin.

A dispatch from Madison. Wis. dated
yesterday SAYS: Sheriff Slater, of Clay
county, s. D, clearly outwitted the
local authorities here today by leaving
Lewis Odland, an insane young man, on
their hands and then disappearing be-
fore a warrant issued for his arrest
could be served. Odland was former
brilliant student at the University of
Wisconsin. He came here from Clay
county, S. D. A few weeks ago he was
discovered at Mankato, Mimi, where
he had tasted for seventeen days. He
was taken to his home in Dakota, where
the court remanded him to Wisconsin.
No notice was sent the Wisconsin
authorities, and when the sheriff ar
rived today Judge Lyon. of the state
board of control, refused TO receive the
prisoner on the ground that he was not

SICK TEACHERS.
Will Draw Full Pay for a
Limited Time.
The School Board Decided This by q
Close Vote at Last Nights
Session.

Teachers in the Mankato public
schools will hereafter draw full pay
for the time that they are ill, provided
their illness does not continue for more
than ten days. This was decided at
the meeting of the board of education
last night, all the members being
present except Mr.. Coughlan, and Mrs
Smith acting as secretary in the absence
of Geo. FL. Brewster, who is unwell.
The action was taken at the request of
Superintendent Uline.
When the question came up, DIR.
Webster moved that teachers be given
full salary in case of illness, for a
period not exceeding ten days.
Mr.. Wilson made the point that
notice was required, as this would be
an amendment to the rules.
President Davis held otherwise, and
the motion was then argued at some
length, "a division of sentiment de-
veloping.
Mr.. Fletcher said that it would be
better to allow the board to determine
each case on its merits.
DR.. Webster said that he hoped that
the time of the board was too valuable
to go into discussion of the merits of
each case as it comes up. He was de-
cidedly opposed to going into such
small matters.
Mr.. Fletcher said that just as much
time would be spent determining how
many days teacher was i'll. Under
this motion more money would be paid
out for substitute teachers than under
the plan he advocated.
Mr.. Wilson thought the present plan
the best. He did not see why the
board should pay double salaries, and
it might occur that several teachers
would be sick at the same time. when
the expense would be considerable.
Mr.. Parry remarked that he did not
anticipate that any scourge was going
to occur among the teachers.
President Davis thought that the
same rule should be applied by the
board as is done in other lines of bust
ness. He said that if he was sick for
month and unable to preach, a substi-
tute would be furnished and his salary
would not be reduced on account of it.
If Mr.. Fletcher's cashier or Mr.
Wilson's type writer should become ill
for few days their salary would go
right on. The same principle is recog-
nized in large number of schools,
where as high as thirty days is allowed.
Mr.. Wilson said that the personal al
lusi ons may be correct, but that there
is difference between spending ones
own money and public money. The
school board is filling public trust.
Mr.. Fletcher observed that the school
boards in some cities have spent too
much money and have gotten the dis
tricts into financial trouble.
President Davis said that the board
would get better service and better
teachers right along by being liberal.
A vote on the motion was taken and
it was carried by a vote of four to
three, Those voting Eyes" were
Messrs. Parry, Webster and Davis, and
Mrs. Smith, and those voting mo" were
Messrs. Fletcher, Keysor and Wilson.
Mr.. Fletcher said that it looks like a
small affair, but the bill would be a
large one before the year was out.

SERIOUS LOSS.
Fire Sweeps Away an Important Red

The Minnesota Stone ware Co., of

ware must have been destroyed. The

The remainder of the superinten-
dents report was as follows:
In comparing the average attendance
with that of last month, find de-
crease of Sc in all the schools. This de-
crease is chiefly in the primary grades,
and is to be attributed to the recent
prevalence of mumps. The increase of
last mid-year must of course not be
looked for now. because there have as
yet been no new admissions into the
primary grades this mid year.
This leads me to bring up the ques-
ton of present admission of children.
Many parents have been applying, but
they have been told to await the next
meeting of the board. Although it is
perfectly plain that we have no place
for them. yet it would seem wise under
the circumstances to place some definite
action on record.

FAMILIAR WITH LOTOS LINGO.

At the complimentary dinner given Minister Wu by the Lotus club in New York, recently, he told his hosts more than they knew about the name of their club. In speaking of this subject Minis
 ter Wu said: "Of all the plants that grow in China the lotos is most appre- c.aitsd. hscause Of it's purity. A gentle man who sits near me says that the To- tos is the symbol of quiet and rest. and
 that. therefore. it is an appropriate name for th.s club. I bow to his supe- IIor wisdom. but in China We appreci- ate and respect the flower. not because we eat it, but because. if you put it in to water. no matter how troubled. mud does not stick to it. and it comes out clean and pure and delicate as ever. Therefore. we call good men lotus men. Associations are formed under that name. Therefore I naturally find my self in superior company by Gining with the members of this Lotus club
