The democrats are going through the mo tions in the usual way, but it isa very poor year for democrats on general principles, and the local situation is not at all promising.—Spirit Lake Beacon. Luverne Herald: E. A. Brown and A. E. Huntington of this place will open a bank at Ellsworth next week. This will give Ellsworth a solid inking institution, conducted by two thoroughly reliable men who have ample capital and are known to be men of the highest integrity. A. E. Huntington, who graduated from the State Univeristy last June, will have personal charge of the bank. Adrian Democrat: Joseph gchwarz, a Sioux Falls architect, was in the city Wednesday, and while here ex amined the,city hall building, the safety of which has been questioned in a good many quarters. While Mr. Sehwarz concedes that the structure was very poorly built, lie thinks there is not the slightest possibility of the front tumbling out. This will re lieve the minds of many Last Tuesday Tim Sullivan, one of our best farmers in the northern part of the county, came near reaching the pearly gates by the railroad route. He was driving to town in a lumber wagon, and a west-bound train, hav ing made a flying switch, was coming down the track at a thirty-mile-an hour gait. The train was hid from Mr. Sullivan's view by the water tank and he did not notice its approach until too late to get out of its way. The engine struck the wagon square ly across the centre, throwing the front wheels on one side of the track and the rear wheels on the other. Mr. Sullivan was thrown some dis tance, and alighted on his head, in dicting a severe scalp wound and in juring one of his arms. It was for tunate that the accident was not more serious, and it ought to teach the crew a lesson of the poor econe my of flying switches, ii & (6) (& W. —NOTICE TO TEACHERS: The next public examination of candidates for teachers'certificates for Nobles county will be held in the school house build ing in Ellsworth October 27 and 28. The first of the series of teachers' meetings will be held in the high school building, Worthington, Nov. 4. A large attendance at this meeting is very much desired, as the primary ob ject of the meeting is to organize a reading circle for Nobles county. An attempt at this was made last year but our efforts did not materalize. I hope the leading teachers of the county will join heartily with me in urging the necessity of such a move ment on the part of teachers of Nobles county. While the teachers' meetings which have been held in this county the past three years have been a very important factor in our school work, -I feel that they are but a glint of sun shine through clouds of sluggishness. Something more is needed to keep us progressive. What the teacher wants is a continued whetting of the mental appetite by means of good, whole some literature. In no way can we acquire and retain that perennial freshness of mind so necessary to the successful and intelligent teacher. This new movement known as the reading circle aims to keep us alive fresh and rational. We, who are en gaged in the great work of molding human character, and pushing the minds of children in the direction of truth, should hail this movement with delight. Let us then bestir ourselves this winter and before next fall have one of the most flourishing circles in Nobles county to be found in the state. Be ashamed to continue teach ing school until you have read some good elementary works on pedagogy, and have read and thought on every line in the great works of the immor tal David P. Page. I am very thank ful to those teachers who were so de voted in their attendance upon the meetings last year and look to them this year for genuine and generous support. The meeting will be held in one of the rooms of the high school building and will open at 1:30 p. m. Interesting talks will be given in ped agogy, general history and language. If the day is favorable I shall look for an attendance of at least eighty. All friends of education will receive a warm welcome. When you read this notice make up your mind that it will be something very serious that will prevent you from coming out. THOS. B. MAGDIBE, County Superintendent. Bates Near One Cent Per Mile. For the closing days of the Colum bian Exposition the Burlington, Ce dar Rapids and Northern R'y, will sell excursion tickets to Chicago from stations on its line at rates near one cent per mile for round trip. Tickets on sale Oct. 15 to 31st inclusive, good to return until and including Nov. 15,1893. For tickets, times of trains, etc., call on or address agents. J. E. HANNEGAN, G. T. &. P. A. HELP OFFERED. Owing to the extreme financial de pression hundreds of men in all cur cities have been thrown out of employ ment. Many of these are able and willing to do farm work. There are doubtless many farmers who need help for the remainder of the season—and others who could find work all winter for good men, at low wages. A bureau has been organ'zed in St. Paul, under the name of "The Public Employment Bureau," by city officials and citizens, to find work for as many as possible of her unemployed workers. Any farmer needing help, either tor the fall months or for the entire winter, may readily secure it by addressing Mayor F. P. Wfight, St. Paul, Minn., stating., what he wants, and on what terms. PROPOSALS FOR LOANS. Owing to the stringency of the money market the Board of Education of Worthington finds itself unable, as heretofore, borrow the amount of money needed bv it"' to carry on tlie schools until time of June settlement of taxes, when the board usually re ceives something over $5,000. Tbe board needs $3,500, and believing that there are many in and about the village who have idle money at their disposal, tbe Board of Education asks for pra posals to loan such money in sums of $200 or over, and will issue certificates for same, payable June 15, 1894. Pro posals for suchlloans, jnay be made to the undersigned, stating amount offered, andjrate of interest asked. For further information call on or address, IL M. PALM. Clerk of Board of Education.
