Miss Zetta Rayburn In the Office OF
county treasurer. The decision, how
ever, wasn't registered in very en-.
phatic voice for Miss Rayburn ran 200
votes ahead of her ticket and lost the
election by 167 votes.
The strong race that Miss Rayburn
made for the treasurership may be an
times or 1t may have been very pref.
ty compliment on the part of the
Wayne voters to her popularity and
qualifications.
Miss Rayburn has served in the
treasurer's Office for number OF
years and was considered thoroughly
competent. She made the race on
the democratic ticket. Her friends
say that her defeat was due more to
the strength Of her male opponent, G.
s. Beebe, than to prejudice against
the democratic candidate on account
OF her sex. On the other hand 1t is
said hat Miss Rayburns long and
efficient service as deputy treasurer
rendered her immune from the usual
objections to electing women to office.
Anyway nearly 900 Wayne men said
they wanted to see woman In the
treasurer's office. In the town OF
Wayne Miss Rayburn tied the vote.
Judge Reese carried Wayne county
by 366 majority, receiving 1912 votes

publican county ticket was successful

Buffalo Bill Feels Young,

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 9.-'I don't allow
myself to grow any older" said Col.
onel w. F. Cody, Buffalo Bill" who
arrived in Omaha Tuesday morning
He is on his way west from the east
and is to spend the winter at the Big
Horn basin. One of the business
transactions in the west Is to sell the
well known Irma hotel at Cody.
"In New York was delayed by
business considerations, or l should
have been through Omaha several
weeks ago." said the colonel. "You
see, Ringing Brothers have bought
the Barnum & Bailey circus, and OF
course that transfers the interest that
the Barnum & Bailey estate had in
the Wild West show to Ringing
Brothers. l had to settle matters in
regard to my show before l left the
east.
This year we carried OF the blue
ribbon, so far as show business Is con
cerned. We didn't lose perform
ance on account of the weather, and
everywhere we've been we have
showed to astonishing business. This
is largely due to establishing a repu
tation for a good, clean show. In the
east and south we have had the en-
dorsement of churches; In many
places clergymen have recommended
from their pulpits that their congrega
lions see the performances"

A Carnegie library and a stretch of

M. G. Hazen found hidden in the tim.

Not long ago Mr. Hazen had occa

about $500 people in the Wisconsin
wooded country.

away out there In the woods a small

From the impression that Hayward
made as result of these two things
the city attorney saw another reason
why Norfolk, which has both paved
streets and a library in mind, should
not turn aside until she got both IL
brary and pavement.

TEACHERS ARE IN DEMAND
GREGORY COUNTY SUFFERING
TEACHER FAMINE.
NOT so IN THE LAND RUSH DAYS
Gregory County, S. D., once Mecca

Gregory county, S. D., once the

In the days OF the land rush the
new county found its teaching force
among the pretty teachers who came
from over the northwest to secure
claims" and who incidentally were
glad Of the chance to cover the ex.
penses by teaching during their stay
But claims have been proved up and
the teachers Of the rush days, having
either married or returned to their
former homes, are no more. Word OF
the teachers famine was brought to
Norfolk by the county superintendent
Miss Latta Bailey Of Fairfax s. d..
who was in the city over night on her
way to Omaha.
Gregory county Is short fifteen
teachers and the school season is far
advanced. And Gregory county
which is as progressive as any county
to the south, pays $40 aNd $45 for the
positions that it is seeking to fill.
The situation, Miss Bailey says, de.
mands the importation of north Ne
braska girls to relieve the famine
The examination for the new teachers
will be held in Fairfax, s. D., in Miss
Baileys office on November 21-22
The examinations are said not to be
unusually stringent but require little
knowledge of South Dakota history

In the Rosebud as in other parts OF
the west the male teacher is pretty
largely an unknown quantity. Chance
for advancement in position is said to
be exceptionally good for teachers in

NORFOLK AND MADISON.
Rival Football Teams Fighting It Out
on Gridiron.

Norfolk and Madison are natural
football rivals and with the small
school possessing the heavier team
there was special interest in the Sec
ond game scheduled between the two
teams. The prestige of the Norfolk
high school demanded, 1t was said,
that the score read better than In the
previous game at Madison. 1t was
with this in mind that the Norfolk
team prepared for Saturdays game
at the driving park grounds. The
game was called for $3.50 o'clock.
Saturday found Nebraska football
team in Lawrence ready for their an
nual game with their traditional en-
emies, the Kansas jayhawkers. Not
since Johnny Bender beat Kansas
to in 1903 have Nebraska players in
vaded Lawrence. While not as diff
cult as the st. Louis contest the game
with Kansas promised to be strenu-
Gus enough to put Nebraska partisans
on edge.
Despite their experiences with Ames
Saturday, the men were expected to
put up a much sitter fight against the
jayhawkers than would have been the
case had the game been played earlier
in the season. The Kansas contest
closes the long series of hard games
which began with the one at Mime
apolis. The absence of necessity to
conserve strength for other games II
was thought might lead the cornhusk'
ers to let themselves out as they have
not done before this year. On the
other hand the defeat administered to
Kansas last Saturday by Washburn
college was expected to make the jay
hawkers fight harder than ever to
down their old rivals.

Taking the Little Ones to Church.

Mothers, just as soon as convenient,
take the little ones to church and Sab
bath school. Too many mothers leave
their little ones at home, or stay at
home themselves rather than take
them.
They may be little restless at
trst But will soon get used to it and
sit perfectly content and will enjoy it
and become accustomed to the place,
and ways while if they are kept at
home till five or Six years old all will
be new, and you cannot expect them
to act as they would if they were used
to going.
Teach the little ones to pay attention
by doing SO yourself, set the example
and let them follow And it will not
be long till you can trust your little
son or daughter to go to church or
Sunday school without thinking they
might do something wrong. And a
very good way is to question them
just little after they are large enough
to pay attention.
By asking them a few simple ques-
irons they will soon learn to notice
the text, golden rule, etc., which is
more than some grown people do.
I.believe in the old saying ''As the
twg is bent so the tree inclines," and
there is no better one to train the
young, tender minds than their
mother. SO let us not neglect till they
are started the wrong way 1t is much
easier to start right at first.

Household Convenience.

A bottle of turpentihe should be kept

housekeeper If you want to keep
your beds free from bugs during the
summer, use a mixture composed of
one pint of turpentine and one ounce
Of corrosive sublimate Scald the Stats
WELL rub the dust from the head and
foot pieces and sides and apply the
fluid with small paint brush to every
crack and crevice of the bedstead, and
as the mixture is poisonous be careful
in applying and keep it out of chill
dren's reach. If in painting or var
nishing woodwork or furniture you
should get any of the paint or varnlsh
on your hands you can easily remove
it with turpentine, and then washing
the hands in warm suds, and there is
nothing better for taking paint out of

The best way to preserve the color

and dresses is to soak them for an
hour in weak turpentine water and
