The Bond Proposition.

10 the Voters Of Jefferson City School
District {: The necessity for additional
school accommodations in this district is
no longer a question upon which there
should be q division of opinion. The
present building is too crowded for sa-
fcty ,comforth or health. We have sub
mittcd for your approval a proposition
asking a loan of $40, coo to build two pri-
mary school buildings, one east and one
west OF Madison street, and to repair and
improve the present buildings. We think
this sum sufficient for the purposes II in.
diciously expended. 1t Is but a very
small additional tax, not to exceed &
cents on the 500 valuation. The school
board Is compelled to pay about $500
every year as rent to provide rooms for
Nos. Z and s. A small increase over this
$500 now paid as rent, will pay the inter-
est on the bonds we ask you to vote. The
school building at Monroe and Miller
streets demands a new roof and other
necessary repairs and Improvements, and
unless they are made and the prOperte
protected, the building will have to be
abandoned in a year or SC and become
yalueless for school purposes. The roof
leaks in many places and renders the
building uncomfortable as well as UNI
healthy. The building has not been
painted since 1t wal erected. 1t is prob
able that the rooms occupied last yearfor
classes Z and s cannot be had next year,
1t is impossible to accommodate them in
the present school building. Voters.
the proposition we submit to you Is a Sc
rious one and demands your careful and
earnest consideration. They are your
children we are asking you to accommo-
date protect and educate. Will you do
1t? Unless additional school buildings
are provided and the present buildings
repaired it cannot be done.
Vote for the comfort, health and cdu-
cation of your children.

A BULLET-PROOF NEGRO.

Shot Sixteen Times at short Range-He
Survives 20 Tell the Tale.
A remarkable instance of fortunate es-
capes has recently taken place near Brazo-
ria, Texas, in which a negro named Aleck
Moss shot another negro, enc Job Hunny-
lea, sixteen times, each shot taking effect,
without killing him or even nficting a dan
gerous wound, says the Philadelphia Times.
Hunnylea, who is literally riddled with
bullet-h holes, was standing within four feet
of his assailant when the firing began, and,
though he ran. was at no time farther au ay
than seven or nine feet. Those who saw
the affair and afterward the wounds declare
his escape the most remarkable thing they
ever witnessed.
Three of the shots buried themselves in
the fleshy part of Hunuylea's left shoulder,
without penetrating deeper than three
inches, AID we're easily dug out. Two bull
lets graZed his skull, carrying away the hair
and skin. while one tore away The lobe of
his left ear, narrowly escaping Seyerng his
jugulaT vein. -Four balls lodged in the calf
of Que leg, while one Of the muscles Of the
other was cut by the passage of another.
Two more plOWed their way along Hunny-
LEAFS chest, laying the breast bone bare, but
skinned on without stopping; one broke
the bone of the right wrist and two passed
thro ugh the hollow of the right shoulder

The weapon used was an old fashioned
shotgun, loaded with small shot. Beyond

very little from his peppering and within a
couple of weeks was up and about his work

Muucie, Ind, is enjoying sensation
attendant on the opening of house which
has been closed up for over twenty five
years and the discovery of freak perhaps
as remarkable as ever entered human
mind. The house in question is fine old
brick residence, owned in 1876 by William
Mutterh0rn, a we'll tO-do German, a retired
lumber merchant, says the Philadelphia
Times. In 1873 Mutterhorn lost his wife,
very beautiful woman. whose loss con-
veIted him from a genial, pleasuTe-lOvng
man to a mCroSe, miSanthrOpical reclusP.
He dismissed all Of his servants and refused
to admit all visitors, even his most intimate
friends, TO his home,
His health in few years became wretched

ton of his strength gave him powers as his
agent and instructions TO allow his house 10
remain locked and sealed as he left ii. No
one was to enter ii or even the extensive
grounds surrounding it. No limit was placed
to his intended absence, and no surprise was
felt as years slipped by without his return.
Recently, however, his heirs, con-
GLIDING he was dead, had the house
entered and found in one of the upper
rooms the embalmed body Of Mrs. Mutter-
horn. elegantly attired and reclining on Il
sofa, while at her side lay a skeleton, which
was satisfactorily identified as her hus-
bands.
MutterhOrn Is known to have been fine
amateur chemist, and i. is supposed that he
privately exhumed his wife's body. en-
balmed it and kept it continually in his
sight, till feeling himself about to die, he
resolved to Shut himself up with his treas
