COUNTY BoARD. This august
body met persuant to call on Mon
day kearton Coates was chosen
temporary chairman, and as first
business on hand balloting for per-
manent chairman was immediately
commenced. About II ballots were
had before an election. DR.. Vivian,
OF this city, w. L. Lincoln, of Avoca,
and G. G. Meigs, of Arena, dividing
the Is votes about equally until the
18th or 14th ballot, when Mr.. Meigs
received 8 votes-elec.ing him. Mr..
Meigs has long been a member of the
Board, and always regarded one Of
the best and most clear headed, not
withstanding the great mistake made
in equalization Of taxes last year, he
being chairman of the equalizing
committee. AS chairman we doubt
not he will be impartial and safe,
although in point Of qualification as
presiding officer Dr. Vivian is
without doubt the superior of any
member of the Board.
In making the standing cofamit-
tees Mr.. Meigs gave very general
satisfaction, displayed good judg-
ment and evidently sought to secure
harmony, and insure equity to all
parts of the county,
We had hoped to give our readers
full report of the Boards doings
this week, but find it impracticable.

BODY REcovERED.-The body of
Mr.. II. G, Wilcox, son-in-law of
Geo, W. Cobb, Esq, drowned at
EAnse, Michigan, on the night of
May 10th, was recovered from the
fatal waters of the Lake on Monday
last. Yesterday morning Mr.. Cobb,
accompanied by his hereaved daugh-
ter started for Dca 9it, where the
body is to be inferred. The body
when recovered was in perfect
state of preservation, thanks to the
intense GOODNESS of the water. 1t
seems that Mr.. Wilcox, in the dis
charge of his duty was on the pier;
boat was about landing, at mid
night, and in some way he fell be-
tween the pier and the boat into the
water. He was heavily clothed and
no swimmer, and though ropes were
promptly thrown to him from the
boat he failed to catch them, but
sunk, with piteops appeals for res
cue, beneath the cold flood to rise
no more in life. He was in the
pride of youthful manhood, 26 years
Of age, and but few months ago
had joyfully borne away from our
city his happy bride, who to-day,
in her bereavement, has the sympa-
thy of this entire community.

AMERICUs SCHOOLS.

The school board has employed Mr..
Brown and Miss Davidson to continue
the school during the summer term,
commencing on the first Monday of
April. These teachers have given gen.
eral satisfaction, and the board saw no
reason for changing them for new
ones. There has been some violent
opposition to continuing the school on
account of the expense. All who
have taxes to pay no doubt feel the
force of the objection. But there are
some things we can't afford to do with
out, though they be costly, and why
the school should be the fist luxury
that is to be dispensed with is not very
apparent. Why not begin by curtail-
ing the home expenses, and stop the
tea and coffee drinking, the use of to-
bacco and other things of like char
acter, which would be a real reform,
instead OF beginning by denying the
little children their school? But let
US look at the real financial condition
of the district. Total valuation, $685.
600; levy for 1873, $1,110.22, or seven
mills on the dollar; teachers wages
for nine months, S1,0sO. The number
of children in the district, we are in
formed, is about $50. Average cost of
tuition alone is six dollars per scholar,
or two dollars per term. But it may
be said the district is in debt, but not
for this years operations, nor last
years, but for preceding years, for
which the present board is not respon-
sible. 1t will be seen that the tax
levy for the year, when all collected,
will about cover the current expenses,
and hence what shall be received from
the State fund remains to pay former
| Indebtedness. What the amount of
that Indebtedness, aside from school
house bonds, is, have not been able
to learn. But it has been stated on
good authority, that there is or should
be a private note somewhere, and tor
which somebody should be held re-
sponsible for money due the district,
amounting to over four hundred dol
lars, which, if collected, would pay
the greater part of this debt.
But teachers wages are said to be
high. Possibly they are little higher
than in other states. But why should
this class of officers be singled out
The county treasurer gets his $4,000
per annum, and the superintendent
4 gets 81 200 and other county officers il
proportion, for no more arduous labor'
probably, than those of our teachers
and requiring no greater skill, who's
combined salaries amount to only
81 ,0SO. It is unfortunate that the dis
trict is in debt, but it is nothing to pro
duce great alarm. a levy of twl
mills on the dollar would probably ex
tinguish the whole of it, when tn
amount due the district shall be col
lected. "Let US have peace"

caught, he was caught BY \ big man, and
he caught big fist on the side of bis
head, and few well direeted blows in
other localities, and but for the interfer-
ference OF q by-stander he would have
caught a bullet. He deserved every
blow he received We are glad he was
not killed. This drummer insuIted n

FACTS FOE aRunrnLERs


AS the city council is considered q
legitimate object for all the fault-find-
ers, wish, before retiring, to present a
few facts for the consideration of the
thinking men of this city, in regard to
the course of the city council during
the past year.
On the 10th of March, 1873, there
were $1,152.6S in warrants against the
general fund outstanding with no
money to redeem them. On the 10th
of March, 1874, there were $451.57
outstanding, with sss9.42 cash in the
treasury to redeem them. A balance
in cash of s437.s5 after paying all
warrants issued. The amount required
to meet the interest on city bonds was
$1,127.77 more than in any former
year, making a total of S2,71s.30 over
and above the ordinary current ex-
penses. In addition to this there has
been new and unusual expenses in
connection with the fire department,
to quite large amount. All this has
been done with a tax levy for all pur-
poses, of ninety-one cents on each
hundred dollars valuation, against one
dollar for 1872 and one dollar and ten
cents for 1871. So much has been
done,
Now let us see what might have
been done, if the policy of the Mayor
and majority of the council had been
acted on tor the entire year. At least
fifteen hundred dollars more would
have been received for licenses. AL
the so-called "liquor cases. could have
been settled Gas some were) withou;
expense to the city, except perhaps q
portion of the city attorneys fees
thus saving to the city q large sum
which cannot now be determined ex-
actly, certainly not less than three
thousand dollars. Thus there NIGH
have been q surplus in the treasury o.
nearly or quite five thousand dollars
Or better still, the taxes could hav'
been reduced that amount. AS we ar
now unanimously" in favor of Low
taxes, perhaps it would be we'll to Civ
these facts all the weight they are en-
, titled to.
So much for the ''pecuniary welfar
of the city" Now let US see how it
''moral welfare has been guarded

THE NORMAL SCHOOL.

The summer term of this popular
institution commences next Thursday.
Examination for admission, wednes-
day. This school is gaining the good
will OF the people all over the State.
1t was meyer more popular than now.
President Pomeroy has had charge but
one session, vet ne has endeared him
self to the faculty and students by his
quiet, but decidedly firn administra-
ton. 1t Is not saying too much when
we say what the faculty and students
unite in saying, that Prof. Pomeroy
has superior executive ability. He
knows how to ''keep school"
The last term was a good one.
Every department was full. There
may not be so many during the sum-
mer term, but We see the students are
coming in from all directions.
The State Normal can offer as many
inducements TO students who want
practical education, az any Institution
in the State. The society in our city
is unequaled, boarding facilities are
good and cheap, and tuition and text
books are free in the Normal Depart
ment. We recommend the school, not
because it is in Emporia, but because
we believe 1t to be one of the very
best in the whole country.

That is what my wife said. 1 tell
you it pays to buy one of their suits,
because it puts your wife in such e
good humor. It would make your
wife smile all over her face to see you
in one of their new suits. Go and let
Bearce put one of them on you and
make yourself and family happy for

such suits are very reasonable, and as
