A shortage of school teachers is
reported in Nebraska, and the ex-
PLANTATION is that the farmers of that
state are so prosperous that their
daughters have no desire to accept
even the best positions in schools.
But these conditions do not exist
everywhere, and if the facts are
made known school commissioners
can get many teachers. The same
causes that determine the Nebraska
girls TO decline positions will induce
others to apply for them, for if
there are so many rich farmers there
must be many matrimonial eligibles.

Presence of Great Evils.

There are real and great evils in our
social and economic life, and these evils
stand out with ugly badness during good
times, for the wicked who prosper are
never pleasant sight There is every need
of striving in all possible ways, individ-
ually and collectively, by combinations
among ourselves in private life and through
the recognized organs of government, for
the cutting out of these evils. Only let us
be sure that we do not use the knife with
an ignorant zeal, which would make it
more dangerous to the patient than to the
disease

"uncle Josh spruceby."

The following is taken from the
Cleveland Daily Recorder, Aug. Is,
1899 commenting on the "Uncle Josh
Spruceby" company, which opens
on engagement at Hollands Opera
House on Tuesday, Nov. 25.
"The Yankee farmer whether
drawn with a skillful or unskillful
hand never gets let loose upon the
stage without creating as genuine
fun as any comic character known
to the theatre. He is a real product
of American soil and an Amer can
audience recognizes this. For many
Of US there is a soft spot for the
homely life of the farm and while
the escapades of the typical country
greenhoru in the wiles Of the conf
dence men of New York always
cause amusement there is a respect
for the type of character that re-
moves it somewhat out of the plane
of the merely uproarious and makes
it genuine character type. That
is why "Uncle Josh Spruceby' a
play of the accepted New England
type, pleases so well at the Cleve-
land theatre, and why it drew a
crowded house Monday afternoon so
early in the theatrical season. The
play has no great novelty in it but
it does not need one. The "Uncle
Josh" will carry the play, his
troubles with his daughter of a Sc
rious nature and with the bunco
steerers of a comic sort furnishing
the story. The leading character,
"Uncle Josh" is we'll cast in the
hands of Frederick II. Carter and
the company is acceptable includ-
ing as it does a special orchestra.
There is a realistic saw mill scene
where the virtuous escape being
sawn in twain by the villainous,
and realistic husking bee at I'm
Gle Josh's farm. 1t is as entertain
ing production as one will find at
the Cleveland"
