Badly Burned.

James Prior, workman employed in
the casting department Of the Great Yves.
tern Manufacturing Company, was badly
burned upon one arm and leg yesterday
afternoon, about three O'Clock, while en-
gagged in pulling out the bottom of the
cupalo, the molten iron catching him be-
fore he could get out of the pit. lie was
at once taken TO his residence, on Miami
street, between Eighth and Ninth, and med
ical aid summoned. He is injured
badly, but not fatally. The burning was
throuhh no fault of his, as Mr.. Prior is one
OF the most careful and reliable men in the
employ of the company.

Some Fine Fruit,

Mr.. Peter Berry has grown some pears in
the yard Of his residence, Ottawa street, be-
tween Sixth and Seventh streets, of the
Dutch Angelica variety-he isn't sure about
the variety, but that doesn't matter-which
are simply monstrous. One of them weigh
ed over a pound, and juicy and magnifcen:
in every particular. If anybody has a pear
which can beat this, let him tro! it out.

An Artificial supply OF Oxygen.

DIR. Ford seems to attribute much CT the
virulence of yellow fever to an inadequate
supply of oxygen, and therefore advocates
an artificial supply conducted 10 the lungs
OF the sufferer by inhaling tubes charged
from rubber bags filled with pure oxygen.
Doctors of course will differ, bat every sug.
gestion ma possibly bear in it some seeds
for an extrication from the confusion in
which science seems TO be involved in the
treatment of the disease. II We are to
form any opinion from the accounts sent
from the cen,ers of suffering, We must be-
lieve that the type varies in different cities.
1t undoubtedly presents several features
differing radically from tho-e presented in
1858 and 1873.

Our Implement Trade

There is one business in this city that
is constantly and rapidly increasing each
year, which is the agricultural implement
business. The principal dealers are Lewis
Mayo, II. Mabbett, J. F. Richards & Co.,
and VIM. Davis. These gentlemen are
live, energetic and wide-awake, and while
building up their own interests are helping
the city materially. They bring thousands
of dollars annually to Leavenworth, which
would otherwise go to rival towns

HE HAS ACCEPTED.

IL is TO be hoped that the troubles Of the
School Board are over a; last, and that they
have succeeded 10 securing a man for Su
periniendent Of our city schools who will
stick, and the possibilities seem to be that
N have, provided some unforseen thing
d esn't happen, which at present doesn't
seem TO be among the probabilities. At a
meeting of the Board, held short time age,
the deciination Of Prof +. A. Fitzpatrick,
OF st. Louis, who had been elected TO the
position, was read, the reasons given being
that
OWING TO AGREEMENTS
made previously he was forced to make the
declinstion. Prof W. W. Grant, the Prin-
cipal OF the High School, was then elected,
but also declined to accept the position. a
meeting OF the Board was held night before
last, when Prof. Fitzpatrick was again
elected, receiving the unanimous vote Of
those present, numbering nine Prof Fitz-
patrick had been corresponding with the
Board, and was given to understand that
if he would accept the position
HE WOULD BE GUARANTEED
against losses made by previous arrange
ments, in reply to which he had written
that if they would let him know by ten
O'Clock, Thursday night, he would be in.
clined to think favorably OF it. According.
ly, about nine o'clock, night before last, a
telegram was sent, informing him that he
! was again elected, and that the sum OF
$500 had been guaranteed outside of the
Board to
SAVE HIN FROM Loss
by previous arrangements. Yesterday af-
terroon another telegram va sreceived in
response, accepting the position, and say
ing that he would be here next week. The
salary for the office was put at 2,050, the
original figure, and so after two months OF
worry and trial, Leavenworth has at last
Superintendent who accepts, and who
will be here in time to open the schools,
without fail. The struggle has been
ANGST EMBARRAssING..oNE
for the Board, and one which has been the
source of more trouble than any one subject
heretofore brought up, bat having been set
tied at last without bloodshed, every body
is happy. No other business was transac-
ted at the meeting OF the Board, and the
question Of the number of 81 ssions
WILL BE SETTLED
at the regular meeting Of the Board in Sep
TENDER. Everything, with the exception
of the settlement of the session question, is
ready for the opening of the schools il tie
middle OF the coming month, the teachers'
positions being all filled and everything
else made ready and satisfactory.
