SPECIAL MEETING OF BOARD OF
EDUCATION

The Board of Education met last even
ing TO consider the question Of heating the
College Hill building. The members
present were Stewart. McNair, Clapp.
Levy, Naftzger, Piatt, Lawrence and
Wichman. Absent: Ward, Parkhurst,
Balance and Parkinson.
The president stated object of meetin z
as above given. 1t appeared that the
Board of Education had received a com
munication from j. d. Smead g. Co,
agreeing, for stipulated price, to place
their heating apparatus in the College
Hill building the same as in other 4-room
buildings in the city, but charging $55
extra for certain brick and carpenter work,
and agreed to wait one year
for their pay, without interest. When
the contractor on the building came
to said work be wanted Sl44 for the work
Hence the committee on heating and
ventilation being out of the city, the work
of placing the furnaces was stopped until
the board could act on the matter. At the
last regular meeting of the board the
matter was referred to the committee on
ways and means.
The said committee on ways and means,
OuIOuSh lOS Cndlrindu, MI. CAdpp, reporGeu,
recommending that Smead 81 Co. be
allowed the regular price agreed upon
(Sl,O0O for placing their apparatus in
Colleg Hill building as per order of the
board July Z, 1890, and no extras. After
considerable discussion it was moved to
amend by dividing the extra cost (Which
was to be reduced to SlO0 and each pay
one-half, viz. Smead & Co. $3.50 and the
board $535D. A motion to amend the
amendment by including the pavement of
cold air rooms was made and coIried.
The original motion as amended was
then carried by a call vote. Board then

KIDS IN TROUBLE.

The tower Of the new court house shows
quite a number of names, the result of the
irrepressable kids. The higher up the
more names TO be found. 1t is supposed
the kids doing the work did so as the re-
suit of desire to be famous or at least
gain notoriety. BY way of assistance the
county commissi oners have decided to call
up every kid having his name on the
building and see if the law has any pun
ishment for defacing buildings, 1t is sup
posed that great many fathers will in
sist that their kids would not do such bad
work, but in many instances it is thought
the right kid can be pinched and some
revenue, at least, can be secured to repair
damages.

ANOTHER IMPORTANT ENTERPRISE.

We understand there is party of gen

to establishing here an extensive mill for
the manufacture Of wrapping and other
papers from straw. The parties have had
extensive experience in this line of in
dustry in one of the northern states, hav-
ing large plant in successful operation
at this time. THey find the lay of the
land and other accessories to the business
altogether satisfactory here and if a suit
able site with convenient transportation
facilities can be secured, the enterprise
will be put on foot in this city at a very
early day. The gentlemen referred to will
remain in this city for two or three days
looking after the site matter.

THE LONG RACE.

The fellows who have much business at
the new court house were complaining
yesterday about having so far to walk and
about the defective sidewalk north of Sec
ond street. The board walk in many
places are not only old but out of shape on
general principles. 1t is thought the city
council will be petitioned to have the stone
walk extended at least to the court house
square, which will to some extent shorten
the distance, and in due time more electric
cars on Main stl eet will serve for corpulent
fellows who do not want to get left in the

To Preserve Flowers.

An excellent authority gives the advice
to plunge the stems Of wilted and dropping
flowers into hot water about one-third
their length, taking care that the blossoms
are untouched. This process drives the
sap" back into the flowers and causes
them to revive in a short time, unless al
ready hopelessly faded. Cut away the with
cred portion Of the stem before putting into
cold, Salted water, or wet sand. which IS
better for the vases and dishes in which
flowers are to be kept. because it will pre-
serve them longer.-JeunessM Miller Maya

A GOOD WORD FOR WICHITA.

The following highly appreciated COM
pliment to the Peerless Princess is from
the facile faber of Hon. w. +. Bolton, edi-
tor OF the Kiowa County Signal, whose
conception of good thing and whose
appreciation thereof are as large and well
developed as is he himself, physically and
mentally-and it may be remarked, blythe
way, that he has the courage of his con-
victions on all subjects and occasions.
But here is what he says about Wichita
which he felicitously, not to say facetious-
ly, denominates "MurdOck's Princess"
While in Wichita this week, we had
time to observe the city more than at any
time in the past and we candidly confess
that its business and residence streets are
a revelation even to kansans who often
pass through it. Wichita may not contain
the greatest number of people, but 1t GER
tainly is the real business metropolis of
the state Kansas City, Kan, has more
people but yet lacks the air of an lndepen-
dent city. and must just so long as the
clearing house through which its arteries
of trade pass remains in Missouri Topeka
is n big town, chiefly noted for its
hash and the way they treat visitors; also
as being the home of the Santa Fe and the
caily Capital. but whan it comes to real
business greatness as an independent city,
sharing its wide open hospitality to all
corners and asking favors from none,
Wichita is the pride of Kansas, and in a
few more years will rival our Missouri
namesake. The Carey hotel at Wichita is
not excelled in Kansas, and carries within
its walls an atmosphere and prophecy of
Wichita's success as a metropolis. The
dai EAGLE is a screamer, and is fast
spreading its newsy pinions all over the
south and west, while it is ably seconded
by the Evening Journal and Beacon.
Wichita is a wholesale town night now,
and is doing more business every month
for itself and surrounding territory for
several hundred miles by establishing a
good market than any other city in the
state Nive la Wichita.

morning who looked very much like a pair

ceived, and took him to the store and gave
him pair, well worn, but which was
quite an improvement on no pants at all.
The little lad went out of the store with
