So you will see that it is not

words will show you who will.
But beware of men: for they
will deliver you upto the councils
and they will scourge you il

And We shall be brought be

:. Here the spirit of evil, and
murder is specified and set
apart from the christian Spirit
that was given to the Apostles
So in this day and age of the
world, in the individual and
also, as nations. The ration that
prepares for war and goes to

sions aud VISIT Kings
Highway.

The Nebraska state ana territorial
pioneers concluded their reunion Sntur-
day and large numbers OF them I'm the
afternoon and evening visited the King 3
highway and the motorcycle races. Al
though the meetings have been finished,
the exhibit installed by the Nebraska
state Historical society on tho ground
floor OF the court house will remain in
tact all next week. This was the decision
reached by Secretary Paine yesterday.
The hundreds Of articles that bridge the
space OF years between pioneer days and
the present are daily viewed by crowds
of spectators and Secretary Paine felt
that he could not deprive those coming
next week OF the opportunity TO see the
collection.
Many articles were added to the historic
collection last week and some interest
ing ones came in yesterday. There IS
nothing that is attracting more attention
than the carriage In which Jesse Lowe,
the first mayor OF Omaha rode 1t was
installed in the collection yesterday. II
was made by Andrew Simpson. now liv-
ing in Omaha and it was not only the
first pleasure vehicle manufactured in the
city, but the first ever seen west Of the
Missouri river. 1t Is a family conveyance,
of fairly good style and in an excellent
state of preservation. though mado about
sixty years ago. 1t is owned by members
Of the Lowe family.
Chiids Collection Arrives.
The Charles Childs collection OF rare
relics was placed with the historical ex-
hibit today, the daughters sending II in.
In this collection is an old wooden trunk
and carpetbag that Charles Childs
brought with him when he came from
Ohio in 1856, There is also the deed to
the property at Childs point south OF
Omaha. The parties making the convey
ance are Otis Childs, Walter Dowrey, sec
rotary, and william Rankin, treasurer OF
the Home Missionary board OF the Pres
byterian church, established at Bellevue
in 1886 Photographs OF Mr.. Lowrey arr
shown.
The Childs' collection also contains tn,
bar steelynrds that Charles Childs used
in Weighing the first grain in and the
first flour out of the first FIGURING mil
built west of the Missouri river. This
was in 1856. Then, too, there Is the grair
fail that Mr.. Childs used in threshinI
wheat raised in the summer OF 1856 or
some land that had previously beer
broken out on the mission property,
Secretary Paine regards the Childs' col

English Students VIII Make
Speeches on Current Topics.
Fridays class in the English XI course
will be devoted to short public speeches
These are to be made by the members of
the class on current topics.
The practice teachers started Individual
observation Thursday morning, prepara-
tory to teaching next week. Judging by
the interest that the victims in the model
school display as to prospective teachers,
they must anticipate some lively times.
The dormitory girls met in the recep-
ton room on Thursday evening, Septem-
Der "a, to organize a kensington club.
Miss Helen Krajicek was elected presi-
dent; Miss May Conn. secretary, and Miss
Effie Grub, treasurer. The meetings will
be held on Tuesday evenings.
The work on the new addition 20 the
Normal is being pushed in order that it
may be completed as soon as possible.
1t is evident that the additional room
which II will afford is very much needed,
owing to the fact that the model school
has been transferred to the normal build
ing. The library has been transferred to
the rear of the assembly room, and the
old library is being used as a classroom.
In spite of this reimbursement, classes
must recite in any room which may be
available at the time.
