GO AND VISIT THE HIGH SCHOOL.

To the Editer Of the Eagle:
The High school should be of interest to
every citizen. A visit there occasionally
by the parents of the students would not
be amiss. During the last year the board
has built an addition to the building con-
sisting of two school rooms hallway and
chapel The entire building reseated with
single desks. The teachers are: Principal
U. p. Shull, j. G. South, Effie Graham,
Emma Shaffer, Della Hutchinson and
Della Smoke, very efficient and earnest
corps. The library consists of some 200
volumes, including books of reference,
encyclopedias, books of pronunciation, etc.
This library should be increased by dona-
lions of literary works, histories and poeti-
cal books, and no doubt many of the citi-
zens would gladly assist the board in this
matter, did they fully appreciate the wants
of this school. There should be additional
apparatus for the department of science.
There is need of additional text
books. botanical specimens and illus
trations A classification of the
various orders Of this branch OF natural
history is very important, as Is also the
branch OF physiology which treats of the
formations of animal life.
This school is more perfectly organized
this wear than ever before. The attend
ance is much larger there being some two
hundred and fifty enrolled. The students
are more thoroughly interested in the
various studies than ever before during
the year This is the sixth year of service
for Prof. Shull and he is we'll pleased
with the growth and advancement made
1t should be a source of pride to very mar
and women in Wichita TO promote the
success and advancement of this institu.

In the north of London resides Mr..
Lovett King, a humorous sin-er and song
writer, who, short time ago, met with
a curious adventure. He was out walk
ing one day when a lady-a total stran-
ger to hm-barred his further proyrcss,
greeted him and forthwith commenced
to dilate upon the ailments Of her daugh-
ter, who appeared to be great invalid.
In vain did Mr. King endeavor 10 stem
the sde of her eloquence and u answer
that he had not the honor of her &C
auaintance; still she went on.
At last he managed. as the saving,

LOOSE LIGHTNING.

A guard wire of the electric railroad on
the West Side fell yesterday morning, and
crossing the trolly wire, touched the
ground near the sidewalk. The current
conducted off by the fallen wire heated
water in the gutter almost to a boiling
point for block. The waste of the cur
rent prevented the cars from securing
power enough to run, and an extra amount
of steam was got up at the power house to
try to supply the deficiency. The break
was looked up and the wire cut, which re-
stored things to their normal condition.
The guard wire on North Main also played
some pranks, but no damage was done.
