each year to license at least fifty teachers who
mad neither experience nor training and their
work has been crude in many respects. They

failures At the expense of the pupils they were
yainly attempting TO teach. Our ability to do
this is a real advance and marks an epoch in

Armed South, Dakotans Turn the Course
:" Of the NIisscuri Rivers.
JAKsoN, Neb., June 2S.-An armed
band of 80 men from South Dakota has
cut channel through Rininger's neck,
or, as it is known on the maps as Rim
myers bend, in the Missouri river.
There is great excitement over the mat
ter here. The bend is some rs miles
around and not more than a quarter of
q mile across its neck. This neck is low
land, covered with willows and small
timber. At one time probably the chan
mel of the river ran across it. Residents
Of, the bottoms along the river east of
Elk Point have always contended that
if a channel could be cut through the
neck and the river Strengthened it
would prevent the reoccurrence OF the
spring floods which have SO frequently
overfowed the southwestern portions
Of Union county.
Another result Of cutting through the
neck Of the bend is to throw thousands
of acres Of excellent farming land into
South Dakota which has been part of
Nebraska.

There are two indictments against
Nicely, one for violation of article 401 of

postal code. The former case is said to
be the stronger and it is probable that
