COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING
Work on the Structure at Chapman
Going Forward Rapidly.

The Courier last week has an extern
sive write-up of the county high school
building now In course of erection at
Chapman. From its account we clip
the following:
THE walls of the basement and first
story are now completed and the second
story will soon loom up in brilliant
spendor. The main building being
57x59 feet in size gives assurance that
800 students may be easily accommo-
dated. The basement consists OF a
spocious hall and three rooms, one OF
which, with little additional expense,
may be subdivided and transformed
into the pleasantest kind of dwelling
apartments. On the first floor there
will be an Office, two recitation rooms
and commodious study. A spacious
hall also adds much to the style and
convenience of this first story. The
design of the upper story is, two reel
tation rooms, a large library, and a
large assembly room which will likely
prove to be the largest room in the
county, with but several possible
exceptions. The workmanship thus
far displayed bids fair to make this
structure source of pride to the town
and credit to the progressive county
which has been the first to take advan-
tage of the statutes authorizing high
schools. Additional appropriations
have recently been made by the county
high school board, which, when applied,
will make about $4,000 which have
been expended on the building and
grounds. The contract calls for the
completion of the building by the first
of next March. The board have made
frequent visits to this place and always
express themselves as highly pleased
with the appearance of the work and
quality of the material. The building
will be opened to the public on or about
the first of September, when, under the
management of competent principal,
the institution may be made to COM
pete with any high school in the State.
Three courses of instruction will be ar
ranged: normal, a scientific and a
teachers course. Many families are
ol,- 1,-, 70 fox
of the school, and many more will prob
ably move here before it opens. 1t be-
hooves the whole county to combine
for the success Of the county high
school. Teachers, parents, guardians
and pupils alike may do much to place
this coming institution in great promi-
nence throughout the county and Cen
trail Kansas

ALMOST FATAL.
L 8. Campbell, of Newbern, Re.
ceives q Severe Shock of Electricity,

Along with the damage done by
Saturday nights storm was the shock
ing of L. B. Campbell, a farmer of
Newbern township, by the electricity
which accompanied the rain and wind.
Mr.. Campbell was awakened by the
rumble of thunder and went to the
north window of his room to lower the
window. AS he stood in the draft of
air and placed his hand upon the win
dow-catch, he received stroke of cleo
tricity which for the time knocked him
senseless. The fluid burned its way
down his arm to the breast and SCARED
the body fearfully. The window
lights were shattered and the particles
of broken glass striking the gentleman
upon the head and face cut the skin
badly.
Mr.. C. suffered severely yesterday
but is resting easier now and will re-
cover. 1t was narrow escape from
death and emphasizes the oft-repeated
advice to keep away from open win
dows or doors during a thunder storm,
as there seems to be more danger in
being in draft of air than anywhere
else.
