cree. thus absolutely prohibiting marriage
within that period in any state. The code

AS TO my work in the district. I would
say when we stop to think what a vast
area the state OF Nebraska COMPRISES II
will be easily seen why IL was necessary
to divide the state into two dioceses. Nv
district alone has an area Of about a 900
square miles. To cover this territory re-
quires about 1900 miles Of travel every
year by railroad and stage coach. Some

be able TO reach out into the country dis
tricts and become acquainted personally
with the farmers and their families. in
the hope that 1 may be able in some de-
gree at least TO encourage the boys and
girls to more scientific farming.
Nebraska is pre-eminently an aFricuI-
tlIral state, and every effort is being made
by our educators to place within reach of
every boy who wishes to be successful in
the filling of the soil TO study the methods
Of scientific farming We already have
at Kearney a church military school for
boys. About 100 boys attend this institu-
ton annually. many Of whom come from
the farming communities. II is nv great
desire to be able to enlarge the scope of
this institution that il may include an
agricultural department for the purpose Of
furnishing a wholesome practical and
Christian training of young men who de-
sire TO become successful farmers. With
such an institution under the guidance OF
the church we ought to be able to accom-
plish much toward the establishment OF
truly Christian homes throughout the state
The church must take a more active in
terest in the social. as well as the religious
side in the training of our young people
or we will lose our hold entirely on the
future generation"

Now that the New York fiscal agents
have sent the description Of the city bonds
suspected Of being a dupnrate or spurious
issue there is considerable speculation as

The council is expected to receive the

ceiled.
Another phase which is Of more or less
interest is what the council will recon
mend in the way Of apprehending those
who may have been guilty OF floating a
duplicate issue. Certain members are
known to be anxious to sift the matter to
the bottom. believing that there is more
than a mere error to be corrected. others
take the present case as an indication that
where there is one case of this sort. there
may possibly be more. These last are OF
the opinion that bond expert and auditor
should undertake the auditing Of the city
bonds at least for a period as far back
as twenty years. Ii is pointed out that
this is the practice with big corporations.
Right in South Omaha il is said to be the
custom Of one OF the largest concerns to
bring an auditor from Chicago at times
when his visit is least expected
