bility to the village trustees who
admitted having given the saloons
permission to gamble in back
rooms of their saloons, which they
thought to be preferable to gamb-
ling in private rooms about town.
Complaints, consequently, we're
made before County Judge Towne
last Tuesday and search warrants
isseud to search the saloons for
gambling devices, warrants also
being issued for the arrest of the
owners of the places of business

wheels, tables, poker chips, cards
and other apparatus. The saloon
meu were arrested yesterday and
taken before Judge Towne where
they waived preliminary hearing
and we're bound over to the next
regular term of district court, Civ

Cherry County School Notes.
The State Teachers meeting at
Lincoln was attended by more than
1000 teachers. The program was
worthy the attendance of every
teacher in the state. Cherry Co.
sent five delegates: r. II. Watson,
A. E. Larsen, Misses Efie Carl
son, Chloe Waggoner and Lulu
Kortz.
The topic of most interest in the
county superintendents' section
was the Certifcation of Teachers
under the new law. It is import
ant that teachers whose certificates
expire in February and March
shall present themselves for ex-
animation at the Office on the reg
ular examination days in January
and Feb. Those giving satisfac-
tory evidence of having done the
reading circle work and associa-
ton work will be required to take
examination in the five essentials
only-viz: reading, arithmetic,
grammar, history and geography.
The new law does not provide for
renewal of certificates. All third
grade certificates issued in August
expire in February.
At Lincoln your superintendent
met all the former instructors in
the Institutes of Cherry Co. and
in the Junior Normal, who with
out exception sent cordial greet
ings to the teachers in Cherry Co.

Valentine has long been known
as a good business town, having
many good businesses. men of
capital and substantial buildings.
There has also been many persons
engaged in or interested in the sa-
loon business and in the gambling
that has been conducted in and
about the city. Many attempts
made at different times to check
gambling in recent years have
failed, excepting during a crusade
of excessive agitation or preceding
an election Of village trustees.
Recently citizens have waited
upon the village trustees asking
them to take some action toward
enforcement of the liquor laws in
saloons and that gambling be stop
ped. Meeting with no encourage
ment, they appealed to the county
attorney who also refused to take
any action, shifting the response

thought to be preferable to gamb-

WHAT'S IN A NANIE2
It Is Proposed to Call the Biggest Bat
tleship New York.


Washington, April 2.-The suggestion
that the projected leviathan 20 500 ton
battleship which is expected to author
name d New York involving the zban-
donment OF that name for the armored
cruiser which was the flagship during
the Spanish war of the Atlantic fleet,
the most formidable naval force ever
gathered under the American flag has
caused some comnotion in naval cir
cles. While realizing the policy of Sc
curing support for the navy by identi-
tying the ships with great cities, many
naval officers hold that for sentimental
reasons ships should not be christened
with names of vessels that have been
famous in their own time; that the lat
ter should be permitted to retain for
themselves whatever of reputation they
may have earned
The New York is set down as per
haps the most seryiceable ship in the
nav-f. according to the record. She has
been always ready for the hardest and
most unexpected service and it is said
Of her that seven years after she went
first into commission she made the run
from Boston to New York at an aver
age speed of 20 knots, repeating easily
her initial trial trip record, which is
without precedent in the navy. After
undergoing two years repairs at the
Boston navy yard the New York will
be commissioned practically a new
ship and the majority Of naval officers
believe that she should not be deprived
of her name and saddled with that of
another and lesser city. as must be the
case. under the law, if any change is
made.
