Meeting of School Board.

Saturday evening the school board held
its first meeting since the election OF
Director Fenlason. The board was or
ganized by the reelection of former officers,
as follows: F. NJ. Harsin. president; c..
F. Evans, secretary; Mrs. M. J. Anderson,
treasurer.
The board was in session until late
hoir discussing various matters relating
to the schools for the coming year, but
the question of the election of teachers
was not taken up.
The purchase of the Mrs. Fenton pro-
perty. which was approved by the dis
trict at an election some months ago, will
soon be consumated. The delay in maxi
ing the transfer has been due to defect
in the title to the lots. which has now been
cured. This purchase will be valu-
able addition to the Liberty school premi-
ses.
During past year the schools board has
allowed the pupils to pay for the decora-

Sciatica Cured After Twenty Year.
of Torture.

For more than twenty years Mr..
J. b. Massey. of 3322 Clinton St.
Minneapolis. MINI. was tortured by
sciatica. The pain and suffering
which he endured during this time
is beyond comprehension. Nothing
gave him any permanent relief until
he used Chambcrlain's Pain Balm.
One application of that liniment re,
lieved the pain and made sleep and
rest possible, and less than one bot
tie has effected permanent cure. If
troubled with sciatica or rheumatism
why not try accent bottle OF Pain
Balm and see for yourself how quick
ly it relieves the pain. For sale by

The thinning Of beets is just beginning
in earnest. The incoming Of Indians. Japs
and Mexicans seems to have supplied the
extra labor needed. The prices paid for
thinning when done by the acre varies
according to the condition Of the fields.
The figures range from sc to SO with
an average Of 81 per acre. The work of
the Indians is done by the hour, S cents
being paid the workers. lzH cents the
foreman. with 25 cents per acre as COM
mission to R. p. Collins for superintend-
ing the furnishing Of the labor. Mexican
labor, says an experienced beet grower,
is best employed by the acre, when they
will work most diligently. but when en-
ployed by the hour are generally very un-
satisfactory. And it seems that the
Mexicans need more watching to secure
faithful work than any other class of
laborers in the beet fields.

y The day following the contest there
was a most unpleasant echo in the air in
Rocky Ford S educational circles. In the
hurried figuring, just previous to the an
nouncement of the awards. an error was
made. The correction Of the figures
changed the result on the debate, giving
the prize to the Philos. OF course there
was CONSERVATION in the ranks Of the
Orthos and corresponding elation among
tho Philos. The friction was not allayed
in time to have the class play Monday
night as originally planned. but by Tues
day the feeling had subsidized to an extent
that the Orthos consented to take part in
the play. The error was unfortunate.

LANCASTER COUNTY DEMOCRATS
Enthusiastic Convention in Which all
Cheered for Bryan and Berge

The Lancaster county democrats
met in convention at the Lindell no.
tel on Saturday the 18th inst The
convention was the largest ever
known in the county, there being
about 400 delegates present. The
convention was full of enthusiasm and
the sentiment was SO thoroughly
unanimous for the nomination of
Berge that the anti-Berge men sur
rendered and did not make any open
stand against him. The city and coun-
try precincts were fully represented
and each individual felt as much in
terest in the proceedings of the con-
vention as though it were a private
affair of his own. If any man would
have raised the question of whether
Mr. Berge was member of the dem
ocratic party or not would have found
himself in as much trouble as did the
boy who poked a stick into a hornets
nest.
The convention vas promptly called
to order at O'Clock " Chairman Nc
CURE and r. l.. Metcalfe, associate
editor of the Commoner, was chosen
chairman. After thanking the con-
vention for the honor. among other
things Mr. Metcalfc said: 81 read

Ocrat. | agree with that, but | do
insist that the B. & NJ railroad shall
not pick my brand of democracy.
When / am called to go to the bar
of judgment on my democracy l would
prefer to go arm III arm with Uncle
Jake Wolfe populist though he be-
than to walk beside one who, while
calling himself democrat, jumps the
track whenever the PARTY prepares for
a serious fight against monopolies !"
Mr. Metcalf1 further referred to the
brutality exposed at the Norfolk asy-
lum for the insane, and said that the
record made by the republican party
on that line alone ought to be suffi-
cient to defeat il in the coming cleo
tion
Mr.. G. H. Holman was chosen sec
