Our Public Schools.


The Wichita School board held a session
last Monday evening" at which time super
intendenl and six teachers were engaged for
the coming year. The board found Itself en-
barrassed and polplexed in several pariicu-
lars. There is an increase Of two hundred
scholars reported for the already oYer-crowd-
ed seoool rooms. The rents heretofore paid
for extra rooms have been ruin Gus, but I'M
avoidable. The amount Of funds on hand and
to be collected will not sustain the largely III
creased room for full scholastic year, SO it
was decided that the school could not be
opened until late in September or October.
The board made a levy of eight mills for gen.
eral school purposes, and two mills for a sink
ing fund. Prof. O. f. McKum, formerly Of
Decatur. Illinois, was elected superintendent
for the coming year. and Miss Stewart, Miss
Sharon, Miss Thomas, Miss Parham, Mrs.
sites and Mrs. Warmer as teachers of SIX
different departments. The board estimates
that il viii take at least nine teachers to run
the schools at all. \ committee was author
lied TO rent two additional rooms. The
truth is, the board finds 4 city upon its hands,
With only the age anu ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS u "
fiye-year old village. With six or ten years
more of age there would be no difficulty III
furnishing room. We want aud must have
more public school room. We can think OF
no better plan for the next three OF i've years
than the erection Of large, plain, one story
house or houses. such as could be disposed OF
! for other purposes, or such as could be made
/ to subscrye The wants Of ward until such
time as the city gets ready TO build eentra
school building commensurate with her I'M
portance and prospects The board has our

is in the habit OF prefaeing his morning scr
mons with remarks delivered in 4 CONVERSE

The idea is a good one in that it elicits the
attention Of the congregation, tends TO put
the listeners in sympathy with the speaker
and prepares the mind for the more solid mat
ter that comes after. II is not the fashion we
have to deal with though, but the substance
OF his last Sabbath's remarks. in which he
urged his congregation TO lend helping hand
TO our Presbyterian friends, who are serect-
! ing new church. Tho speaker said that
some writer 10 an eastern paper from Hutch
inson admitted thar Wichita was the real me-
tropols of the Arkansas Valley, but that it
had very small houses and very small
churches, but large jaiis, iLtimating, we sup
pose, that we were people Of small things,
and deprayed. The writer was unjust and

ANOTHER NEW NINE.

The articles Of incorporation Of the
All Right Silver Mining Company
have been filed, the capital stock
being $40, 100000. The company is
to conduct general mining and
milling business in the State of Ne
vada. The Directors are Joshua i.
Ayres, A. S. Gould, Henry Lacy,
George L. Woods and VIM. Hopkins.
Our readers will remember our ex-
tended notice of December 21st,
1875, of the celebrated "Ayres and
Hopkins Mine;" of its well-detined
ledge, and the unusual good pros
poets lot only for permanent but
an exceedingly rich mine. We also
spoke of the two extensions that on
the north being called the "Ayres
Consolidated" and the southern the
" Loretta all controlled by the
same enterprising capitalists. The
new corporation, the "All Right" is
the first location south of the last
named mine, and although just in
corporated, has been worked for some
time, and developed such fatter-
ing indications of its richness
and permanency, that an organ
ization became necessary to en-
able them to better manage the
concern. Mr.. Ayres and his CO.
operators now own, of incorporated
ground on this rich lode, 5000 feet,
divided into about 400, 900 shares,
with an aggregate capital OF 100000
600, and will, without delay push
rapidly ahead in further developing
and opening their mines, so when
their 20 stamp mill is completed,
they will be ready to ship their ore.
1t may become necessary to erect
another mill, if so, it will be done,
for Mr.. Ayres is one of the most en-
terprising and energetic mining men
in our state. We wish them all the
prosperity their indications promise.

THE MASQUERADE is
charm and novelty about masque-
rade that one fails to find connected
with dance of any other character.
It seems rathero nice to think you
are making love to your neighbors
wife, or your chum's sweetheart;
and then, one can say so many
naughty but nice things; can
squeeze with impunity the pretty
hands, and admire the white, round
shoulders, and neat foot; can throw
dignity aside, and nave jolly,
rollicking good time. Besides, if
you take drink you are not forced
to blister your mouth eating cloves
to disguise the fact-your mask
does that. In fact, there are SO
many inducements that the Odeon
Hall, at Dayton, was thronged on
New Years Eve with the happiest,
gayest. handsomest crowd of mask
ers we ever saw out of San Fran
cisco. The Dayton people have
long had the reputation OF getting
up the best parties in the State, and
on this occasion they more than
sustained it. The music was good,
the hall in excellent order, and ev-
erybody tried to make somebody
else forget they ever had any trou-
BILE. The Indian Chief made love
to Biddy Malone; Pat Mulloy, fresh
from the blarney stone, talked to
Old Mother Hubbard the fool
and the sage walked arm in arm;
prince and the peasant danced to-
gether; the Yankee, the German,
the fairy and the dwarf, all mingled
in elegant confusion, forming a
bright picture to hang forever on
memories hall. It would be i'm
possible to attempt to describe the
different characters. They were all
without exception we'll dressed and
sustained, and ex, ressed themselves
as highly delighted with the ball.
This is due to the pen-hearted lib
crafty and hospitality of the Dayton
people. Mr.. Gruber, of the Union,
and Mrs. Jaqua, of the Golden
Eagle Hotel, provided sumptuous
repasts for the hungry, and when
ever the people of that town give
another party count on the Silver
City delegation stem thousand
strong"

Everybody knows that one of the
greatest curses which we are afflicted
with is cold feet. You can tell q
man who has cold feet as soon as
you meet him. His ears droop a
little, his eyebrows turn the wrong
way, his nose has a small purple
spot on the end. and altogether
there is a pinched look about his
face. His walk is cross between
the amble of donkey, and the
waltz of an elephant; he has the
motion of locomotion, but alas! no
grace. Besides&ts other ills, we
believe it is the curse of matrimony.
We believe more fond hearts are
severed by frigid toes than anything
else. We overheard conversation
the other day that helped to con-
firm the opinion. The wife had las
good wives should in cold weather)
retired and warmed the bed. In
comes her lord and master THAT is
supposed to be- with all the signs
we have just mentioned visible

are: poor dear! gu look so cold,

freezing Eeather. my darling"
and he gave the warm clothes a
yapk over to his side--"this is
.seally good of you to warm'-here
he began tucking the clothes
around him--''the bed, and I"--here
he extended his left preambulator
and began to caress her shin; she
gave scream such as only a
woman can give, and there appeared
to be CONFUSION in that room,
like small earthquake, the bed
cracked and groaned, and we oc-
casionally caught a word, as You
brute" - icicles-- snowbanks-un-
grateful wretch-and finally there
was a noise as of a heavy body fall
ing. and we heard feminine voice
say, "There! lay there with your
cold feet out of the window, and wait
for the sun to warm them. I'll
teach you how to try to warm them
against my ribs!

A BAD ACCIDENT New Years
morning, while returning from the
Dayton masquerade, Harry Norton
four associate editor, his wife, Mr..
j. j. Peters and Miss Nellie Shay,
in company with two other buggies,
were driving rather faster than the
law permits When crossing the
bridge, nearly opposite the old foun-
dry, the carriage in which korton's
party were seated struck large
boulder, pitching Harry out, he land
ing on his face in the creek about
ten feet below his wife was
thrown out and landed near her
husband; Peters and Miss Shay
we're dragged some distance in
the carriage before becoming
free. The occupants Of the other
buggies (Messrs. Van Arsdale, Lester
aud Nichols Immediately rendered
all possible assistance. Norton WAS
badly cut about the face, his left ear
being cut entirely through, as was his
upper lip; also cut across his nose
and severe hruise on his left
temple; his right leg was severely
bruised and strained When picked
up he was unconscious, and remained
so for nearly an hour. Mrs. Norton
escaped with n slight strain of the
back; while Peters, besides a few
scratches, received a bad cut on his
right elbow. Hiss Shay got an ugly
cut on her temple. Al present all
the parties are doing very we'll, Nor
ton aud Miss Shay iferiug the m ost f;
but if no drawbacks occur, they will
be ready soon tn make another trip,
but Harry will henecfurth drive II
yoke of oxen, RS he believes that
much haste is not at all digniiied.
The only wonder, when one looks at
the place, is that the whole party
were not killed outright.
