EIG HTH MONTHLY REPORT of THE
DODGE CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL.

II is with pleasure that We are able to
announce at the close of this month thar,
although near the close Of the school year,
when many usually drop out OF the school,
the attendance has been as large ~ any
month duriog the year.
The contracted term of the school has ex-
pired, but the schoolbosrd thinking it too ear.
ly to close, have FL ended the term until June
LIT 1t i. hoped thar no one will make the
mistake so often made, by taking their chill
dren out OF school before it is closed; unless
they are here to the last day, they will mis-,
the general review, to which the last few
weeks are almost entirely devoted, and thus
necessitate reclassi6c alton of themselves at
the beginning Of next term, which would
probably send them over the work of this
year again. Let your children, BY all
means, be in school during the closing weeks,
for they are the most beneficial weeks of the
term.
Be sure TO come around and see the school
before its close. We are glad to number
among our visitors for this month Messrs
Shumste and Capwell of Cimarron and Mr..
Freeman Of Speareville.

A WRITER in Rounds Cabinet gives an
essay on how the local department Of a

manager and job printer. This 10 formid-
able list Of title, and entails more work
than any one man ought to perform; but the
business is not q large one, composition is
sharp and times are dull much of the year,

has all this work to do, it would be ADVISE
BILE to get some young man, who goes into
society, to furnish personals and those other
little items Of gossip which the editor him
self in his seclusion would not be likely to
hear. The important items will take care
Of themselves. These will be the town talk,
and the editor will have no difficulty in get
ting all the fac.s in his ordinary walks
through the town.

that thousands and thousands are idle, and
from long continued idleness there is much

the condition OF affairs now, before the sea-
con for entering the mountains lie at hand,
what may be expected later, when the
countless numbers Who are waiting for the
warmer weather Of spring shall move on to
the mining country? The newspapers of
Colorado are already giving warning that
the mining fever that extends throughout
the country threatens to do injury to the
State BY overcoming its cities and camps
and bring disappointment, disaster and suf-
iering to countless numbers of fortune hunt
ers from all sections of the country. Unless
