Wm. Hawley Smith, Who Is best known to the publlo by hi remarkable story, The Evolution ol Dodd, which is doing more to remodel the publlo schools of this country than anyother one Influence that has ever been brought to bear upon them. This story has given him a national reputation as an author, and be has acquired an equally extended popularity as a platform artist, both by bis own Individual work hefpiotbe public for a series of years, and more recently by his association with Bill Nye, whom he most ably assisted during an entire seaBou of brilliant success. Supt. W.

H. Skinner, Ex-President Nebraska State Teachers Association and the ablest teacher of teachers in the West. Ho will conduct classes in reading; literature, language and numbers. POIHTS. There is a whole lot of fuB being mad just now about a throe row cultivator.

The machine Is Intended for listed corn and it is claimed that a span tot horses and a small hoy can easily cultivate twenty-five acres a day. Wo 4pnt believe there is a temn of horses in Harlan county that can drag the machine through a corn field all day, provided the aforesaid Bmull boy walks. We are like the man from Missouri, youll have to show us. A man dropped into the Record of-fico due day this weok with his arm In a allng. From his story, we concluded he had seen better days, so wo told him to tell his trouble to tho weather man if ho dldnlt like the days Nebras ka furnished.

1 a The Republican City girls have a keetrfaculty of knowing any young man who comes to their town, but when they come up to Alma, they dont know? any body, I The tall end of Kansas cyclone sneaked over Into Nebraska and killed four people at Falls City, besides tearing up forty buildings. Nebraska doesnt deserve such treatment from Kansas, and they are urgently request ed to keep their cyclones at home. A This thing of boing Mayor, said A. L. Burr, as he made one of his cele brated follow shots within the palatial interior of the Manhattan Club, a few evenings Blnee, isnt exactly what it is cracked up to be.

We have thousands of things here to vex us, But to take all things as they come, They have cyclones in Kansas and Texas, WhilNature Bmlles gently at hum. Frank Grigsby. If Nebraska holds the balance of power In the Chicago democratic convention, Tobe Castors gang will have the serene pleasure of turning down Billee Bryans presidential boom. If it doesnt rain to-day, you can bet your last dollar that it is getting ready to rain tomorrow, Jupiter is more than 1,200 tiroes as large as the earth, but there Is a man in Alma who would want all of It If he happened to live there. Noone will ever grow bald headed trying to invent a machine to empty bottles.

Dont aspire to go too There isnt a mountain in all America that two miles high. It takes longer for Gomer Thomas to express a thought, than It does to send a telegraphic message twice around the earth. 1 It Is reported on good authority that ten thousand murders were committed in 1695. We are sure that not one- tenth of these ever appeared in print, nor one-fifth of the murderers were convicted. Thfero are a score of people in this town who hava not misled reading each copy of the Record that fms ever been TssuedlT They wift probiihly reud this paragraph, but they have never paid the publisher a cent of money and never expect to.

They are the first people to register a kick on the way the paper Is conducted and would be the first to exult over a misfortune of the publishers. We believe hell Is full of such people. The man who invents an umbrella that can be folded up und be put into ones vest pocket has an independent fort joe awaiting him. i iA A makes her handkerchief a part of her dree and seldom uses it. A man never know he hn a handkerchief unless he wants to wipe the dust from hi shoes.

He never uses it on his hose. It begins to look like the country publisher would be able to collect all hi back subscription. This one feature will go a long ways toward making time bcttcrln this 6untry, 'and we suppose McKinley will get the credit while wo blow in the lucre. Miss Clara (irtley of Sterling, Nebraska, I the guest of Miss Kate Driscoll. Mr.

John Lehman went to Fatrbury yesterday morning to visit sick brother. Mr. Win Sullivan has a brand new bicycle and it mtturally the envy of her neighbors. Mrs. M.

Mrs. F. M. Trobee and son Marlon of Smithfield, Nebraska, are In the city the guests of Mr. and Mrs.

H. C. Randall. Mrs. Dr.

Baker and Mrs. A. O. Bur ton went to Vinton, Iowa, Wednesday morning, where they will visit relatives a short time. Rev.

R. M. Travers will deliver an address to the Class of 08 at the Congregational chnrch next Sunday even, ing at 8 oclock. It rained a beautiful shower before breakfast this morning as a sort of appetizer, and rained a better shower after breakfast. The Class of '96 programs are out and they eclipse anything of the kind ever issued In honor of the Alma High School graduates.

The class la composed of three ladies and five gentlemen. Miss Laura Arbuckle of Denver arrived in Alma Wednesday morning. Miss Arbuckle Is the daughter of A. R. Arbuckle, who for a long time sue.

cessfully edited a democratic paper at this place. District court adjourned sine die at Alma Wednesday night. The lawyers say that more work has been accomplished during the term just closed, than has been accomplished in any two terms for a number of years past. It is a genuine pleasure to see a farmer come to town nowadays. He has a smile on his face that would cure consumption.

He does his shopping and tells another farmer from another part of the county that it rained much more with him than it did with them, and the other fellow goes out and tells the same story to some one else. But it is fun to hear them tell it just the same. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Boehler returned from a sad trip to Lincoln, Illinois, last Saturday night, where they attended 1 the funernal Of Mrs.

Boehlers mother. Mr. Beohler says that Illinois is very dry just now, and unless rain comes to the relief of the farmers very soon," their small grain will be badly damaged. He says that Iowa and Nebraska never looked so beautiful. His trip east lasted only a week.

J. S. Griffin returned from West Creek, Colorado, Sunday morning. He Is brown a a berry and looks as rugged as any of the mountaineers. His visit was of short duration, but he seemed extremely glad to get a few moments among bis friends.

West Creek is growing rapidly antPthe prospect of it reaching large proportions are excep tionully good. Business at the store of Griffin Wlllits is prosperous. Frank Grigsby went to Denver Monday night, where he will make his headquarters for a few weeks while he Visits the various mining camps of Colorado. If Mr. Grhrsby sees anything he thinks would make a good fo vestment, he will buy it and bring It, home with He will buy a car loud of samples of ore to deposit in Fools Gulch to provide excitement for the boys next winter, so we are inform' ed.

Jonathan Piper, resident of this place, claims he is seventy-eight years old. He also claims he worked for Wm. McKinleys grandfather fifty-eight years ago. Later on be worked for Mr. McKinleys father.

Thisisthe story we get out of Mr. Piper, who is a populist. He was never a republican; but he seems to be proud of the fact that he was once a free spiler, or a suhsoUer hr something like that, and later on he was a or a moss back or something. Then he was a democrat, because it represented the only true reform in'the absence of the defunct When ihe populist party grew out of the old farmet alliance, he staid with it. Mr.

Piper is probably breaking prairie today. He thinks that he might change his politic if he were given the vice-presidency on a ticket with McKinley, but wo are sure he wouldnt vote that ticket. 1 According to the list of teachers county institutes, we leurn that Alma is the place for Harlan county teachers to assemble, and the date is no further off than June 1st. It has been intimated that teachers expecting to teach In Harlan county next fall had best be present, but we cannot vouch for the story. It would be a sensible precaution to take, however and we believe if our teachers expect to be recognized Impartially, they will make It a point to be present at the opening and stay till the close of the session.

The trouble with luck Is, you get too much of the wrong No man has either hope or ambition after he Is fifty years old. Girls like to tell horrible things, so they can say. Isnt It awful. No business Is a success unless it is profitable during the dullest times. When a girls pockethook looks fat and bulky, you can bet she has her handkerchief in it.

Wiloox Herald. The Minden merchants have boycott ed the B. M. R. ft, by each and atl signing an agreement to neither receive nor deliverany merchandise over that line until they accede to the demand to stop the fust train known as the flyer, which has heretofore only Condescended to whistle for that sta tion, and go thro like a shot, the same as at uny other crossing.

Such action on the part of the railroad company has been to say the leust, humiliating to the city of Minden for some time, as well us inconvenient, and the citizens don't propose to stand It uny longer. Nebraska Farmer -At the time of summer fallowing the fields it is a good practice to get the manure spread on the land ahead of the plows and get it turned upder. Summer fallowing is coming to be favorite method among farmers who are coaxing their soils to bring forth crop id great abundance one year after another. But this thing cannot continue indefinitely without the adoption of some system for returning the elements of plant growth that have been hurried away in the form of big crops. It Is therefore in order to get the manures of the farm buck onto the fields whence they were taken.

The summer fallow furnishos one of the readiest means for doing this and the good results shown will fully warrant all the trouble taken in the matter. F. Hosic, teachers of narlau county that he! nerd H. Miller, F. Tucker, -OR- SCOTTS EMULSION h.
