The Delegates to Nowhere.

The delegates to the State Republi-
can Convention to be held somewhere,
sometime, were as follows: A.
Falknor, w. T. Cavanaugh (Postmas-
ter). J. 7. Thacker, s. A. Madge, G. C.
Israel, Hugh Ross, l.. B. Faulkner
Gold Democracy, H. L. Wiley, G. M.
Savidge, S. w. Fenton, Isaac Blu
meaur, M. Harris and w. r. Malleree.
They we're selected by an unique al
though antique (paradoxical as it may
seem) process. A committee was az.
pointed to place desirable names be-
fore the convention, and it made up
list of just the number to embrace the
whole delegation. No additional
names were submitted to afford an op-
portunity for a choice, as in primary
elections. With a reliable chairman,
this plan, OF course, greatly simpliied
matters, and if anybody feels disposed
TO "kiok," we only to recall the fact
that precedent was once set by send
ing committee out to lawyers Of
flee, for him to make up tho whole
slate. The plan is an admirable one,
when the leaders have their following
we'll in hand, or the results to be sub
served are not worth fighting for.
"Our friend, the enemy, "can take
which ever horn of the dilemma that
suits best.

nomination to him. The Convention.

of patching up the returns, referred
the matter to the County Committee
for adjustment. 1t is said that Ismay
insists that it is contrary to the usages
of his party to 60 back of the returns,
and he insists that his name be placed
on the ticket.

ranks for change OF raiment which
had become thoroughly drenched. An
adjournment to the theater was sug-
ge>ted, but for the above reason as
well as approach of the MONDAY hour.
this was changed to Z o'clock in the
evening.
The ;nclement weather caused the
poStpon'ment Of several features, and
these crowded upon the time allotted
to still others.
At l 30 o'clock, however, the buck
lng-up contest took place at the arena
at Fourth and Franklin. The seats
were all filled and the streets were
crowded with people eager to see the
contestants. There were six entire.
for the match as follows: Andrew
Carlson, l.. Mckay, Joe Goodrow,
Henry Smith, Frank Getzen and Joe
Bode. Mr.. Getzen managed to cut a
block of the 3S-inch log in 5 minutes
oOi seconds, and captured the frs.
prize of $IJ. Joe b de was second
with minutes and A., seconds. taking
second prize.
The balloon ascension announced at
Tumwatcr, at 3 o'clock did not come
off till O'Clock, on account of the
wind storm which prevailed. At that
hour, however, splendid ascent, as
we'll as parachute descent was made
by Prof. Hamilton. The balloon
iloated to the westward, and the nro-
naut landed about mile east and
south OF town. He landed in a dead
tree and was injured quite severely by
it falling with his weight.
At 3 30 in the afternoon the quar-
ter-mile bicycle race was run on
Fourth street bridge, Gregory Hide
brand taking first money, with Fred
Cotter good second.
The log-rolling prize was competed
for by four woodsmen, rs follows:
VIM. Murray, VIM. Ross, Henry
Lockhart and VIM. Smart. The con.
test was soon between Lockhart and
Murray and it was some time before
the latter was able to get Mr.. Lock
hart into the bay, winning the $75
prize. Mr.. Murray halls from Hart
stein island, and is certainly an artis-
tic logroller.
The creased pig ended the prize
contests. He was we'll creased and
for time eluded the efforts of his
would-be captors, but finally Bud
Weston got piggy cornered and he be-
came his property. The ball at the

NORMAL NOTES.

The weeks work will be chiefly to
cover all important points not yet
covered and a general review of the
whole work.
Quite a large per cent. of the
teachers will take the examination
at the close of the Institute. Many
will teach in Oklahoma.
Most of the teachers have schools.
In all the work there is tenden-
dency for the teachers to go deeper
into the facts and causes than ever
before.
The Professors will leave Meade
Friday noon on their wheels for
Dodge, where they will take the
train to their homes.
Following are a set of resolutions
adopted by a committee appointed
by the Supt. for that purpose; they
have not yet been approved by the
Institute, but we feel confident that
they will be approved and signed by
every teacher who is really interest
ed in raising the standard of good
teachers and protecting such stand
ard by law.
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON LEGISLA-
TION.
WHEREAS, The present laws gov
erning the issuance of teachers GER
tifcates makes no provision where
by grades of high standing may be-
come permanent; and
WHEREAS, We believe that such
a measure is just, and that it will
promote the best interests of educa-
ton.
Be it therefore resolved,
1. That we, the teachers of
Meade county, ask the Legislature
at its next session to make such
amendment to the law as will pro-
vide for a standing of permanent
grades for satisfactory proficiency
in any and all of the branches re-
quired for first and second grade
teachers certificates.
II. That a grade af not less than
90 per cent. in any required branch
shall be permanent while the holder
of said certificate containing such
grade shall remain in the profession,
shall attend the County Normal at
least 3 weeks each year and shall
attend at least IS per cent of the
meetings of the teachers association
held in the county where he or she
may be employed, and shall con-
form to such conditions as may be
required by the state board of edu-
cation.
PROVIDED, that no person shall
be deprived of such grades by no,
teaching on account of absence
while attending school or college:

The "Old Maids Convention"
was presented last Friday night to
crowded house. The night was ex-
tremely warm and not the best for
the '.show" business. We noticed
that all the performers made very
good use of their fans. The play,
for its kind, was very creditably
presented, in fact we think some of
the ladies exhibited considerable
stage talent, which, if developed,
would make first class ameteurs.
Mr., Will Shelley, the only gentle
man taking part, of course did his
part as he always does-frst class.
The play created a great deal of
amusement, several local "hits"
causing considerable applau Sc.
Having cord of sympathy for all
kinds of shows and attempts at
shows would not give anything but
favorable comment. We would be
pleased to see more such entertain
ments.

The Average Good Cow.

The common dairyman need not ex
pect to show up milk and butter rec
ords from his herd such as the fancy
dairymen report. Butter yields OF
over 300 pounds per COW are beyond
the reach of the average dairyman
Still he should keep at work culling
his herd by test until he gets the
average product close up to this fig.
ure. "A COW which makes but 12J
pounds of butter in year only just
pays for her keep, and unless she is a
model beef type has no place on the
farm. If of this type, she should be
allowed to suckle her calf, as she is
not worth bothering with in the
dairy. No COW should be kept in the
dairy which will not make at least
200 pounds of butter in Il year. for il
does not pay to milk them when they
won't do this. The average COW
should make this much butter and
raise calf of beef parentage on his
sire's side which will be worth $40
when eight months old. This stand.
ard for the dairy COW is easily at.

Hills For Apple Orchards.

There are thousand of acres OF
rough land bordering streams and
coulees all through the west of little
value save to furnish scant pasture
when rain is plenty, which could be
most profitably used for apple grow
ing, especially all such hills as may
have an available north, northeast or
northwest slope. The apple likes a
stony or rocky soil, and will really
do better on such soils than it will
on the loamy and richer soils of the
fat lands. We know Of one orchard
and it is one of the most healthy and
productive of which we have knowl-
edge in the state of Minnesota,
which is growing on the north slope
of hill SO steep that il would not
be an easy thing for a team of horses
to draw an empty wagon up it.
