President johnson, of the state univer

he has been to establish an experimental
agricultural station.
The Wyoming Development company
has donated forty acres Of ground under
irrigation to the university tor the station,
The ground is on the edge Of the towu
plat of WheatlAnd, one-hali mile from
the railroad. The land will be cut up IN
acre plats and each acre will be used in
experimenting on a different kind of grass
or grain. For the irst year experiments
will be tried with different cereals, grasses
and sugar bcets. This station will be I'M
der the management of r. NJ. Johnston
who is a practical farmer.
There are now six stations in the state,
all of which will be managed In the same
manner, and no doubt will illustrate the
most productive crops which can be raised
in the different parts OF the state as each
kind Of a product will have an equal
chance to develop.

As authorized at the last annual meet.
ing, the board purchased block $50. To-
Gated on tie South Side, as a site for a
future school building to be erected in
that section of the city. The board also
purchased lots ] and . in block 232, To-
Gated on the corner of Twenty Second
street and Central avenue as the site for
the high school building, both of these
purchases being paid for out of the pro-
ceeds Of the sale of bonds.
The electors OF the district at the last
annual meeting, having authorized the is
sue OF S35, 900 OF the bonds of the dis
trict for school house purposes, the board
issued that amount of the bonds of the
district. and received therefor the sum OF
$50, 773S
The expenditures from and the present
condition of that fund is shown in this
report.
A new high school building being a ne.
cessity, as was shown by the report OF the
board at the last annual meeting, meas
ures were at once instituted for the cree.
ton of such a building, and after adver-
tisements for the submission Of plans had
been published and several plans submit
ted, the plans prepared and submitted by
j. S. Matthews, architect, of Cheyenne,
were accepted and the contract for the
construction thereof was entered into with
Nj. 7. Keefe, he being the lowest bidder.
for the sun of $29, 0ls.7 5 1t is provided
with the improved Ruttan system OF
warming and ventilation at 40 Expense OF
81, 700, This building is now in process
of construction, and will be completed in
time for the next school year. The plans
for this building arc framed upon the
most improved methods of school building
architecture and will accommodate SOC
pupils. In addition to the school room:
proper, the building will contain two reel.
tation rooms, library. chemical laboratory
and rooms for superintendent and teach,
ers.
The cost of the high school building
will exceed the estimate made at the last
annual meeting, and there will occur a de-
ticiency in the bond fund of about Sc, 900.
Attention, however, is called to the fact
that out OF such fund the site for the high
school building and the lots on the South
Side were paid for at an aggregate cost of
81. 500.
The increase in the enrolment Tor the
year just ending is unprecedented in the
experience of the district, aud to accom-
modnte the pupils measures should be in
stituted and authority granted at this an
nual meeting for the erection of additional
school buildings, particularly one In the
east end of the city, which in the pin
ion OF the board is demanding earliest at,
t%ention. By so doing and a change in
the Central building limits, relief can be
given to the West End school which is
now overcrowded; to build such a building
as the board would suggest in the East
end OF the city, will necessitate an ex-
penditure Of about $4,000. The plan
as suggested embraces a one story build
ing Of four rooms, properly arranged as
to lIEht, heat and ventilation, and so con-
structed that a second story may be
added when the necessities of the dis
trict shall require.

Many persons complain that THEN
powers are so small, their education is
SO limited, their means are SO circum-
scribed, they can not hope to be of any
use in the world. Let such take cour-
age. No one is so powerless that he can
not in some way strengthen the hands
of another; no one is 50 dull that lie cal,
not help another to shine; no ones life
is SO small that he can not make some
other life greater. And in those lives
which the humble and earnest man has
aided to build up he will find his own
life grow richer aud fuller. Every thing
done for others. with the desire of doing
good to them and to the world. will
react upon the doer, b inging to him its
own satisfaction and the reward OF a
good conscience.

true abundance and prosperity are after
all based on the cultivation of the soil:
Evidently our cities are too attractive.
and country life too lonesome and un'
satisfactory.
Who can offer a solution of the prob
lem?
Is it to be charity? Is it to be benevo.
lence? Is it to be work superintendent
by civic authority?
All these remedies have been tried and
tried over again, and General Booths
scheme Is as idle rs that Of any dreamer
who ever planned relief to human
misery.
What is needed is something to re-
vive a genuine rural life. The youth OF
the land need the inspiration and the

manner is somewhat of n puzzle to the
audience, who see but one side of the
show. The third view will aid the
reader to comprehend how this seeming
impossibility is accomplished. AS wit
be seen by this side view, the head
which the audience sees does not belong
10 the body in the chair, but to person
concealed behind the panels The arms
also are supplied by men who stand on
each side and thrust each an arm
through holes in the side panels. These
pane's are arraT ged to slide up and
down. as will be explained later. The
| legs of the figure (the trunk is
dummy are supplied by young man
who lays at full length behind the
partition and extends his feet outside,
where they are encased in boots which
are split their entire length at the back.
This enables him to draw his feet within
the recess below the chair, where narrow
swinging doors hide them from sight.
When the alleged assassin draws his
knife over the top of the boot, the leg Is
withdrawn, the boot is set aside, and
nothing shows but the knees of the vic
tim. which are painted to resemble
bloody stumps When an arm is APP
parently severed its owner stoops to the
floor. thus making the figures arm ap-
pear to fall lifelessly from its body.
Al tho moment the head is cut off the
man behind tie partition rises to q
standing position. and of course the
head leaves the trunk to which it was
apparently attached. The victim then
presents some hat scattered appear
ance. but curtain is drawn in front oil
the assorted remains. and behind it,
protecting folds the owner of the head
comes from behind the panels dressed
similar to the figure. and upon the with
drawal Of the curtain presents himself
as self made man on the installmen
