to make the contribution required
was committed to the county Jail.
Lee Martin was arrested last even
ing and returned to the police court
this morning, but no eliminating
testimony being adduced he was
discharged.
Both prisoners were charged with
disturbing the peace. The difficulty
occurred at a dance last Saturday
night on Seventh street, near the
Missouri Pacific railroad, at the
time Of the cutting OF GOodall by
young Grant. It's another story
with a woman In the case, or a num-
Der Of them. According to the state
ment Of GOOdall, Grant had been
telling lies about GoOdall and Mar
tin, to the girls Of the latter, and had
not only done this once but several
times. Grant refused to retraet.
GoOdall going up to Grant at the
dance struck him with his fist and
in return received the thrust Of q
knife blade in his shoulder. That
ended the melee. The wound was
not serious. Grant was fined IS and
costs the following Monday by the
police court.

BOARD Of Education.

There may be said to have been s
meeting Of the hoard last night-just
ABOUT fifteen minutes. The finance
committee failed to put In appear
ance, and a. there Was little else to
transact than setting on claims the
quorum lOr seventy member con-
cluded to go to prayer meeting and
departed. From this circumstance
it may be OWNED that some very
good people are members Of the
board Of education Of the city Of
Salina.
The board will meet again next
Monday night.
The city superintendent, Prof.
A. II. Owen, occupied the attention
Of the six remaining members for
an hour. The talk was informal, but
was on a subject Of great importance
tU the city and was one which SEEM
ed TO put the board and the superin-
tsndent to their wits ends. The
matter under discussion was the
overcrOwded condition Of the
schools. The Professor presented
q list offOrty-two children who had
made application for admlttance to
the schools but who can not abso-
lutely be accommodated under the
present arrangement. He also
offered 8 statement Of a majority Of
grades, showing them 10 be filed to
excess. Few are below their accom-
mediation capacity, while others are
above that condition in number OF
acholars. The defect existed not
withstandlng schools had been es-
tablished st the beginning Of the
school year. The Professor was
much At a loss how to remedy the
existing complaint. The Idea wss
preached Of putting additional seats
into the present rooms, but this pro-
pOsal did not receive earnest con-
sideratiOn, The board thought it
advisable to provide for q mixed
grade, In the South Park building,
and by thinning out the present
grades from among those children
who live convenient to South Park
to supply the latter school and also
to meet all demands. The superin-
tendent was instructed to furnish 3
list, at the next meeting, Of children
who can be appOrtiOned 20 South
Park, with q view Of coming to some
devised plan which shall meet the
emergency. Hence, parents and
those interested may see relief in the
distance.
