Won't Board the Teacher,

Pierce county is short of school
teachers because farmers no longer
care to board the school ma'am whom
they once received with open arms.
According to County Superintendent
Frank Pilger, of Pierce county, he
has been rendered a resignation by
one director of school board be-
cause he found that it was impossible
to find a boarding place for the
school teacher of his district
One board of school directors near
Randolph voted nine months school
and they also report they cannot
board the school teacher. The farm.

the school teacher into their house

Golden Wed dina,

Tilden, Neb., Dec. 17.-Special to
The News: Fifty years ago last
Wednesday George w. Shippee and
Miss Ellen Wilson were married at
New Buffalo, Mich, and half a cen
fury after practically the same cere-
monyg was repeated at their coy
home on Maple street, Tilden. Dur
ing their long and useful lives they
have experienced both the joys and
sorrows of humanity. Sickness has
caused them anxiety and distress and
death has robbed them of three of
their children. After years of hard
toll and frugality they are now living
peaceful life, surrounded by their
children and grandchildren and with
all the comforts and luxuries they de.
sire. But they have both passed
through the privations of frontier life
in Nebraska, such as is found in the
history of the state nearly forty years
wealth was sparsely settled and who'll
ly undeveloped. They have felt the
yearning for the home back east"
and have braved the storms and bliz-
yards that meant possible death to all
who dwelt in the poorly constructed
homes of the early settlers; but
through all the disheartening years of
scant crops, Indifferent shelter, little
money and nothing but the barest ne
cessities, they kept a stout heart, la
boring to bring up their children as
useful citizens, and with a hope of
obtaining a competency for old age.
How well they have succeeded is
shown by their present affiuent con-
dition and the good standing of their
four living children in the community.
They are "reaping as they have
sown" and all their neighbors are
gratified to know of their success.

He was among the highest I'm his
classes and was a special student of
Latin and modern languages. He
was not only known as good stu.

college athletic circles as crack
football player. He was the star

charge of the Holy Trinity church at
York, Neb., as lay reader and also
had charge of the mission at Harvard,
Neb. On June Is, last, Bishop Will
liams brought him to Norfolk. Mr..

this vicinity. Mr.. Colegrove was born

A Blind Pig Near Norfolk?

Norfolk drinking men on the "black
list" of local saloons, and minors, are
receiving liquor from a blind pig
conducted by party on East Norfolk
avenue, who also gets a good trade
from men who are unable to obtain
liquor from Norfolk saloons after 8
o'clock.
This information comes from a re-
liable source, a Norfolk business man
who declares that evidence has al
ready been secured and the blind
pig" will be put out of commission.
Men on the black list, minors and
some. farmers are purchasing large
amounts of wine and whisky from a
man conducting a blind pig on East
Norfolk avenue says the Norfolk
business man. every Sunday men
can be seen coming from his place
intoxicated and after o'clock when
Norfolk saloons are closed he does a
good business. He has government
license and is selling liquor by the
drink or gallon cheaper than local sa-
loon men can sell it for. He once
paid fine of $50 for selling liquor
without the government license, and
there is now evidence which will con-
Wet him."
Had Some Trough Houses"
A few days ago a young farmer
coming to the city was slightly in
jured and his buggy was demolished
in runaway accident. The boy was
said to be drunk, and it is declared
by one who says he knows that the
boy, bought the liquor at the blind
pig" Some weeks ago much carous-
ing went on at this place during
which revolver shots were heard by
q local physician. At that time one
man was thrown into the river and
was laid up for several weeks, An
other laborer on the paving work was
so badly beaten up that he will wear
scars on his face for several years.
Many other reports are being circu-
lated and a campaign seems to be
on against the place. When asked
if the black list" rule is enforced in
Norfolk yesterday afternoon, promi-
nent saloonist declared he has even
refused water to men on the 'black

dozen stars and eighty-three others,

some of the chorus girls will have to

the cachet OF the hat being left to the

are not cheap, for the untrimmed

cessfully than usual this season If she
will but pick out some one of the sim

guidance. or course one can not find
the exclusive shapes untrimmed in the
shops, but one can usually find some
thing approxlmating the lines desired.
Long coats, which entirely envelop

Smart modes. They are made of vel

of the truly fashionable pets are com

self felt in certain of the long coats of
velvet and velveteen, the band usually
taking the form of handsome heavy
embroidery in black silks and braids
although the very wide black braids
are sometimes used The short suit
coat, too, often shows this wide hip
trimming, the wide and beautiful silk
braids being the usual garnitures in
this case, though embroidery with mar
row braids, cords or heavy silks may
be employed. Partisan makers show
much enthusiasm for the new wide
braids, some of which run from eight

them both for coat and skirt bands

vet, velveteen, Zibeline, serge, ratteen,
etc.
Apropos of ratteen, which is very
modish this fall, its wearing qualities
are proving far from satisfactory, the
rather rough surface growing matted
and dull too quickly to please women
who expect good service from their
tailor suits. Very good looking skirt
and coat models are constructed of
this material, however particularly in
whites and such light tones as honey,
butter, mustard, ETC., within relief in

The little French cape or canal"
which fits the shoulders as though
moulded to them and usually slopes
downward from the throat in front to

portunity for adding a new fur triu-
ming touch, the little cape being made
sometimes entirely of fur, trimmed
with it's own material.

Lookout Scribes Explain
Defeats Of D0bbs Team

Here is the explanation of the scribe
of the Chattanooga Times:
The dopester is at the end of his row.
He made a respectful request of the
managing editor to record yesterdays
Lookout Baron game in the obituary
column. but that official said that in
asmuch as there was just a little sign
of life left and the bunch had not been
officially designated as dead it would be
flying in the face of providence.
"Old Pop Arson many, many years ago
was guilty of this remark: When
get beat, 1 love to have 1t rubbed in
good and hard. ] don't care to be able
to look back and say to myself, 'if 1 had
done this or that would have won that
game" I'd rather know we got beat
world without end, and with no ifs and
ands.
I'm moments of optimism and nom
chalance-usually when the team is win
ning-we have always been inclined to
agree with Pop and felt that If we
had to lose, let it come with a rub
But the fans who were seated down at
the matinees yesterday, praying for the
game to hurry up and get over, so Bir-
mingham couldn't make any more, caused
us to secede from that opinion. Beat
us by one or two runs if you will. but
don't feed us on goose eggs when we
are hungry for blood.
"At that, we don't think there is any
cause for alarm. The Barons have been
in a hitting streak these several days,
and it's bound to come to an end. When
pitchers are hit like ours have been these
last two days, any team will look like
last year hat at millinery fire sale,
and the finer the hat was before, the
cheaper it looks!
I'VE said when the team was over
whelmed down at Atlanta that the abb
sence of errors and the general good
playing of the team demonstrated its
class. In spite of a horrible lambast-
ing handed to the pitchers, the men
played as steady as clocks There was
no wild throwing, no foozling of ground
ers and no bone-headed plays. We are
not saying T. told you So but the squirt
taken by the team Immediately afterward
showed that this opinion at least was
correct. So it is in Birmingham. The
pitchers are getting an awful drubbing-
but the team is playing almost errorless,
and at times sensational, ball. In the
midst of that deluge yesterday, not an
error was made behind the pitcher. One
fast double play frightened things up
and three Barons were caught going to
second by Tom Carson's trusty arm.
Take it from us. it's a good team that
