"a. sehool House Propositlon.

The meeting at the court house Tues
day night to discuss the proposition Of the
board Of education to put up a school
building not to cost over SIS, 900, was not
as largely attended as it ought to have
been. There were not over fifty people
there at any one time, whereas there
should have been two or three hundred.
This was q matter directly in the interest
Of every tax payer and every parent.
why is it that such meetings are poorly
attended in this city? We have often
wondered at the apparent unconcern at
such meetings. There is always enough
grumbIing after anything is done, and one
would suppose that the people would at
tend 10 such matters in the start, when
the formative work is being done.
Judge Cunningham presided, and Mr.
McCune was secretary. After eonsIdera-
BILE and earnest discussion, pro and con,
many being in favor of the policy Of erect
ing q 5000 or So 900 ward building, q
vote was taken on the $4,000 proposition
which resulted in % for, and 16
against. The board wanted q public
expression before taking further steps,
as to whether it was bes. to build q
central building for the sum voted upon,
or the smaller house. Many good reasons
were adduced against and for both propO-
sitions, but majority were for the large
building. Still this is felt to be very
unsatisfactory expression Of the senti-
ment Of the city, and we hear efforts are
| being made to hold another meeting. We
should certainlV want a fuIIer exDressIou
if we were a member Of the board. Now,
suppose the tax payers and parents Of
school children take q little interest in
this matter, and give it that degree Of at
tentiOn which its importance deserves.

A Fatal AOcIdent-AImost.

A son OF Peter ShervoZ came near be-
ing drowned q few days ago at the ford of
the Marais des Cygne river, on the county
line near Reading. He had been break
ing prairie with three horses, across the
river, and at night, not knowing that the
river had risen since morning, hitched
two horses to his wagon and tied the 9TH
er behind, and attempted to re-cross to
hi home. The curreLt was too strong
for him, and he and his team were carried
down stream some fifteen rods. He only
escaped by swimming to the shore, while
the three horses were drowned.
This is very bad ford and bridge is
main road from Usage City to Emporia
were one built. A great portion Of the
time the river is impossible at this point,
and travel is thrown around a great dis
lance. We believe our county commits
sioners some time ago made an appropri-
alton of one thousand dollars for the pur-
pose of building q bridge, provided
Usage county should appropriate like
amount. AS yet they have done nothing.
II this accident shall stir them up to take
the needed action before some human life
is lost there it Will be, perhaps, as cheap
lesson as we can expect. Mr.. SherVoz
is poor man and had only four horses.
His neighbors passed around the hat, and
soon had q hundred dollars raised for
him, which will materially tighten his

In another column viii be found testi-
monial signed by several Of our ladies,
testifying to the good qualities of the
Deaynex Patent steam Washer. The
Messrs. Burgess have been here some
days exhibiting the machine, taking it to
families and doing washing with it, thus
giving # q fair trial. Our folks have tried
this machine and find it the best one. by
all odds, they have ever used. Anything
that lightens the burdens OF the wash
tub, and relieves Its drudgery, is = bless
ing to the over-worked women, and
hence we can recommend trial for this

Shooting ARRAY.

A shooting scrape occurred at Camp
belps billiard saloon Friday evening last,
about O'Clock, by which John Camp
bell, the proprietor, received an ugly
wound in the arm between the wrist and
elbow. A difficulty occurred between
David Campbell, John's brother, and
Frank Gatewood over a bottle of beer
which a man named Carpenter had
brought there. 1t is stated that Gate
wood had been drinking considerably,
and was under the influence Of liquor at
the time. GateWood first attempted to
use revolver, but finally 1t was taken
away from him. 1t was supposed that
the difficulty was ended, as Gatewood
seemed to be pacIfied. He went out and
borrowed shot gun Of George Clapp,
stating to him he wished to use it hunting
next morning. Thus armed he went
back to the saloon, stepped in at the door
and fired at David Campbell. The latter
saved himself by lodging. Then John
| Campbell stepped toward Gatewood, beg
ging him not to shoot again, and throw
ing up his arm just IN time to receive a
portion Of the contents of the second bar
rel. Campbell then knocked Gatewood
down and his brother coming up from
further back in the room kicked and man.
gled him about the head and face terribly
In q few moments he was in such a con-
clifton as to be scarcely recognizable. The
wounds of both parties were dressed by
the physicians. Sheriff COnDer arrested
Lakewood, and has him in custody. Mr..
GatewoOd must have been crazed BY
whisky when he committed the deed, be
cause he seems to be of amiable and quie
disposition when at himself. Thus two
more lives came near being sacrificed, Il
to the bloody moloch, intemperance. Al
it is gatewood Will carry the marks re
eeived in the disgraceful affair as long al
he lives, and Mr.. Campbell may lose tn
use at least of his arm.
