They Are BlufIng.

| ly concerning the locating OF the
New Normal School. The first
on the 9Th instant, which pur-
ported to have been suggested
by State Supt. Fowler in which
it was suggested that cash
bonus of $25, 600 to pay the rum
ing expenses to maintain the
school from June 1904 to, April
1905 would be necessary in ad-
dition to the twenty acres fland
specified in the bill.
Another article in the same
paper on the - announced that
Aurora had offered $4,000 be-
sides the land and that Hastings,
through Senator DERRICK had
offered a building worth $4,000
in addition to some land. Rea-
sonlng from that the paper re-
fered to contended that the ques-
tion of location is now between
Aurora and Hastings. Because of
these statements some of our peO-
pie have expressed a feeling that
there is no use for Broken Bow
to make further effort to secure
the location of the school. In
our opinion those articles in the
Star were prompted by some one
for bluff, with the object of
discouraging the smaller places
and does not represent the opin-
ion of majority of the Normal
School Board, if any one of them.
The bill was passed especially to
help the western part of the
state, which has not been able to
establish colleges for the educa-
ton of the rising generations.
: Supt. Fowler was a strong advo-
cate of the bill urging the needs
of the west along those lines.
We believe that he was then
prompted with an honest desire
to help those that were unable to
help themselves and especially
the central and western part OF
the state that is new when com.
pared with the eastern part oil
the state. Conditions have not
changed since the bill was pass.
ed, nor do we believe that Supt
Fowler has changed his views Of
the situation. Had it been the
primary object of the promoters
of the bill and the Legislature to
locate it where the most money
could be raised it was a mistake
to limit its location west of a
point five miles east of the sc
! meridian. The larger and
f weather. cities are east of that
l line and many of them are able
: to raise thousand dollars to ar
enter prize where the towns il
: the western part of the state
could not give one hundred.
/ To demand now that al
l amount should be raised sufh
S cient to pay the running expen
ses of the school a year would
S defeat the object of the legisla
ture in passing the bill and worl
1 a great injustice on the western

The towns that are putting
forth an effort to secure the new
normal school are putting in
their best ticks and the bidding
will be fast and furious before
the matter is settled. The act
does not contemplate, however,
that the school shall be knocked
down to the highest bidder in
cash or real estate, and it is not
likely that it will be the policy
of the educational board to lay
too much stress on this side of
the matter to the exclusion of
the hig her considerations involv.

troops received from Baron Steuben at
Valley Forge stood them In good stead
They fought like veterans. and the
day was won.
There was one other who shared the
honors Of the battle Of Monmouth with
Washington. and that was brave Molly
Pitcher. Her husband, an artillery
man In Oswald's command, was sta.
toned with his battery in an exposed
position In the American line. Time
and again the men ut the guns were
moved down. but the survivors contin.
ued the fight with vigor. Molly Pitcher
had been carrying water from near.
by spring for the gunners to wet the
sponges when they swabbed out the
cannon. While returning from one Of
these excursions to the spring Molly
saw her husband fall. There was no
one to take his place mt the gun. With.
out moments hesitation the brave
woman set down the water she was
carrying. seized the rammer and took
her husbands place. The army cheered
her wildly as she discharged the can.
