Julesburg VS.. Sidney

On the Sidney grounds, Tues
day afternoon, the local boys
were defeated by Sidney to the
tune Of 10 to .. Our boys feel
no discredit at being beaten by
Sidney, for they are considered
one of the strongest, if not the
strongest team, in Western Ne
braska.
Our team was weak because
Ed Paul, pitcher; r. Stevenson,
catcher; and E. N. Kelsey,
second baseman, were not with
them. Jerry Twomey pitched a
good game, he hit no one and
gave no bases on balls. The
boys did good batting, but there
was no place vacant to put the
balls. Ten long drives into
the field were bagged and II in
field hits that in most games
would have been safe hits were
blocked and the runner cut of
on first base.
Sidney had Brown, second
baseman, and McGibbon, short
stop, of the Morrel team playing
with them, and these players
very materially strengthened the
Sidney team.
Sidney battery: Petit, pitcher;
Rodman, catcher. Struck out
by Petit, 6.
Julesburg battery: Twomey,
pitcher; White, catcher. Struck
out by Twomey, 9.

First Car Of Spuds.

Mr.. R. S. Campbell shipped the first
car of new potatoes, Tuesday. The
spuds were raised by Mr.. Gillette on
the old Pat McNamara place, now
owned by Mr.. H. N. Linebarger, cash
ier of the First National. The price
paid was 81. 40 per hundred.
Mr.. NJ. NJ. Farley Of Omaha came to
Julesburg the first of the week and be-
gan working on the John Cass & Co..
elevator. He only worked short time,
however, until his right arm gave him
so much pain that he had to quit.
Wednesday morning he started to
work on the new Citizens Bank build
ing but on account of his arm he had
to stop work again. Thinking there
might be something seriously wrong
with his arm he went to the doctor and
found that it was broken just above
the wrist. Just before he left Omaha
he was wrestling with a friend and
remembered wrenching his arm but
thought it was only a slight injury:
and it was at this time that his arm
was broken he says.

RANCH SUPPLIES.

This was the store room of
Miller e. Redford, and around
this building, long since taken
down and moved away, cling
many recollections of the early
struggles of the town of Jules
burg. 1t was in this building
that many plans were laid and
formulated for building the
town and this firm name
will always be kindly
remembered by the men
who were foremost in the strug-
gle of organizing and making a
town any country Many of the
early settlers will always
cherish and gratefully refer to
the firm, for it was at this
store they received such square
treatment and many extensions
of favors that were at times so
sorely needed, and meant so
much
While Mr.. Miller was not on
the ground in person much of
the time, his partner in buiness,
the late Mr.. d. S. Redford, was
one Of the most active and bene-
ticial men the town ever pos
sessed. 1t is pleasing to note that
the good friendship existing be-
tween the Miller and Redford
families in their earlier connec
tions, still pleasantly continue in
their after life.
Mr.. Miller referred to the fact
of having purchased a quarter
section of land six miles south of
town, through the influence of
Mr.. David Castetter, and that he
was still holding onto the place,
in fact spending his summer va
cation there.
The Castetters used to keep
the Brunswick Hotel, the build
ing on Front street now occupied
by Mr.. Geiger as a residence.
In his address Mr.. Miller not
only spoke of the progress of
Sunday school word in old Mexi'
co, but he spoke of the people,
their habits, characteristics, and
OF the country they inhabit.
The speaker was not only at
home in the pulpit, but has an
easy, graceful way of saying
what he wants to say, and telling
the audience what it wants to
know and hear. The address
was the most interesting feature
of the program, and everyone
heartily thanked the reverend
gentleman for his able dis
course.
This concluded the morning
program. In the afternoon a
song service opened the exer-
cises at 2 o'clock.
Mr.. ULYSSES Willis read pa
per on why do the Large Boy
and Girl leave the S un d a y
SCHOOL," Discussion was led by
Mr.. P. B. Upson of Sedgwick.
Messers. Stockham, Labaree,
B. D. Parker Jr., and Stevenson
made remarks.
At this time the audience was
favored with a vocal duet by
Mrs. f. F. Clayton and Mrs. J.
S. Labaree.
'The Financial Side of the
Sunday School" was looked after

wick Mr.. c. V. Parker opened
the discussion. Mr.. Cummings
of West Lincoln and others made
remarks. All the speakers
agreed that there was never any
trouble in raising money for a
Sunday School.
DR.. Edwin Lewis of Sedgwick
was not present with his paper
on the Social Side of the Sun
day School," and Rev. Nathan
Harmon, who was to lead the
discussion, was also absent.
Rev. Giller requested Rev. Kinds
to take up the subject. Messers
Millsap, johnson, Stevenson and
Giller made remarks.
Mr.. Arthur Miller rendered a
Trombone solo, being accompan-
led by Miss Leonhardt on the
piano.
THE Pastors Relation to the
Sunday School, was the subject
treated by Mr.. W. NJ. Labaree.
Rev. Arthur Lanning of Sedg-
wick was to have led the discus
sion, but he was absent and vol
unteers took up the work.
Mr.. S. E. Stevenson read
paper on "The Teachers Prepar-
alton of the Sunday School Les
son.
After the vocal solo by Mrs.
Redford, the Question Box"
was conducted by Rev. Giller.
The following officers were Sc
lected for the year:
President-G. W. Stockham
Vice President-W. M. Labaree
Secretary-Alice Parker
Treasurer-Mrs. II. E. Davis.
The next County Convention
will be held at Sedgwick.
During the discussion of one
of the papers, in answer to the
question, Can a Sunday School
Succeed Where there is no
Preaching" it was pretty clearly
brought out that Sunday schools
are like the cactus grow every
where and under most all kinds
of conditions. We never knew
of an early settlement in the
west without it's Sunday school.
Wherever a few children were in
riding and driving distance of
each other there would be Sun
day school organized. OF
course, it would go down after a
while, but it would always come
to life again. The lesson might
not be fully or even correctly ex-
planned, the organ leaky and
wheezy and the singing both on
and off the key, still it was Sun
day school, and brought the
people out and held them togeth-
er as nothing else would.
All the men who spoke at the
convention, and especially those
well along in life, paid a few
words of tribute and respect to
the Sunday school teacher of
their young boyhood days. No
memory is so endearing or so
lasting. A boy may be wild and
wayward and rough; but the re-
fining and softening influence of
a good woman as a Sunday
school teacher leaves a lasting
impression upon the mind and
character of every boy coming
in contact with the kindly intlu-
ence. At times it seems to be
entirely lost; again the seed
seems to have fallen on barren
ground; but always, sooner or
laLef, tne ROOd implanted mani
tests itself.
If we were going to weave a
wreath of reward to entwine
around the brow of the most
helpful person to the human
family, we would most certainly
select one Of those grand, noble
women-like Mrs. G.. S. kins-
man-who take boys picked
up often on the street into her
Sunday school class, into her
heart and into her home, and
work and labor to build some
thing where material is scarce,
and the effort az oftap at tho tirDa
