to grow 5000 acres of beets and sell
same to Leavitt for S. per ton. The
acreage was secured and Leavitt made
the announcement that the factory
would be built. To meeting of the
Commercial club of this city and of
the beet growers Mr.. Leavitt last year
stated that he would have the factory
begun in the fall of 1905 if the same
should be used for the 1906 crop. The
contracts obligated the growers to fur
nish to Mr.. Leavitt the crop grown
on a stated acreage for a period of
three years. Some time ago Mr..
Leavitt published a notice in a local
paper here that he had heard threats
of parties going back on their obliga-
tons and warned them that they had
entered into solemn agreement in
writing to grow the Deets for three
years and that they would be expected
to comply with the written terms of
their agreement Yesterday Mr.. Leav-
lit authorized the publishing of let
ter in which he stated that he would
not build the factory which he had
agreed in writing to do in the same
solemn instrument which was signed
by the beet growers.

EDUCATORS WANT NEW NORMAL
Demand Comes From Northern Por-
tons of the State

The next legislature will be asked
to Increase the number of normal
schools maintained by the state from
two to three. From Holt county comes
the protest that the teachers of the
northern and extreme northwestern
part OF the state are not supplied with
proper facilities to equip them for
school work.
Normal schools are maintained by
the state at Peru and Kearney, the
Peru school being established many
years ago and the Kearney school be-
ing created by the legislature of 1903.
At the time of the location of the
Kearney school a strong effort was
made to place it at some point further
north or west, but without result.
At the session at which the second
school was decided upon the establish
ment of five junior normal schools
was arranged for. These schools are
held at Holdrege, McCook, Valentine,
Alliance and O'Neill. Terms of ten
weeks each are held during the sum-
mer. The teachers of the northern
part OF the state insist that the short
term does not give them sufficient
time to prepare for school work and
that the expense is too great to permit
of the attendance of all who would at
tend regular school.

Fremont and was located where she
was staying with another woman in
rooming house. Her brother, Will
liam Jones, at whose request the
search was instituted, left for Grand
Island to bring her home.
The police have been led to believe

accompanied the girl induced her to
go away. They say, however, that no
complaint is likely to be filed.
