WYOMING SCHOOLS.
Cost of Their Maintenance During
the Past Year.
The Number of Pupils In Attendance
and Cost Per Head.
Money Spent In Paying Teachers
and Building School Houses.

8. f. Farwell, state superintendent OF
public instruction, yesterday completed
his work OF compiling statistics of the
public schools In Wyoming. Below is
given the number of public school build
ings. teachers and pupils, with the aver
age salary paid to teachers. The report
covers every inch of the field up to Oct.
81, 1891, and is as follows:
Laramie county-Number of schools
taught, SO; number of pupils enrolled
1916.
Albany county-Number of schools. 81;
pupils enrolled, 1,l0S.
Carbon county-Number of schools, 3d.
pupils, 900.
Sweetwater county-Number of schools,
I; pupils, s6S.
Fremont county-Schools, %; pupils,
1876.
johnson county-Schools, Is; pupils,
$40.
Sheridan county-Schools. 30; pupils,

Unity county Al; pupils, 1878.
Converse county 20; pupils, 1888.
Weston county 6; pupils, 1873.
Natrona county 7; pupils, 100.
Total number OF schools buildings in
the state, 223; total number of schools
taught 800; total number of pupils en-
rolled, male, 4,479. female, 4,247.
TOTAL number of teachers employed,
males, IS; females, 285. Average COM
pensation of teachers per month. $54.42-
Average cost per pupil, 1896. Total
amount paid teachers during the year,
$lO8, 1856 &C. Total amount expended
for school buildings during the year. $50
3lS 05. Total amount expended for all
other purposes, S64, 1888. 6S.
This compilation has been critically dis
seoted by Superintendent Farwell and as
1t shows that a great deal of work has
has been done in its preparation for the
public it cannot fail to prove very inter
esiing reading TOR taxpayers, teachers, pu-
pills, and in isct to every citizen of Wyo-
ming.
1t will be observed that there are a
pretty good majority of the masculine
gender enrolled as pupils. 1t can also be
easily observed that the ieuale annex
comes in at least thirty leaps ahead, when
the sex of the teacher is examined.
Uinta county outstrips Laramie county
in its number of pupils having several
hundred more than Laramie and as many
as two or three of some of tho other
counties. But this extraordinary record
of Uinta should not fail to be scored to
her credit. The good people of that
great county not only believe in the
divine command to populate and
replenish the earth but also want the
Young ideas properly instructed in the
science Of literary workmanship. Laramie
county CONES up handsomely with the
next largest number of pupils and then
Albany, Carbon and Swectwater in their
respective orders.

Special Correspondence.
LusK. Wyo., Jan. 23.-J. B. Hatcher
of the United States geological survey,
has sent within the last two years to o.
G. Marsh of Yale college more than 200,-
900 of petrliactions dug from the bad lands
about twenty-five miles north of Lusk.
about fifteen men are employed by Prof.
Hatcher. The work will be resumed In
the spring and continued for an indefi
mite time, as new and valuable petrifac-
tons, some of which are not found IN
any other part of the United States, are
being unearthed every few days. Parties
In the employ of the New York museum
will establish a camp early next spring in
the bad lands of Converse county.
G, G. Hughes. general superintendent
ofthe western division OF the Fremont,
Elkhorn & Missouri Valley road, passed
through Lusk this morning on his way to
Chadron. Mr.. Hughes has been in Cas-
per for the last few days, and this fact is
connected by many persons with the re-
port of the extension next spring of this
system Of railroads.

The Selection of Fruit.

Care should be exercised in the selec-
ton of fruit, as it is just as a and as
cheap to buy good fruit as the bad stock.
Never buy a cat in the bag; or in other
words, fruits or nuts that are placed in
packages by the dealers, for the chances
are against the purchaser receiving the
same quality as is exposed to view. For
instance, the wagon fruit peddler's profit
is derived, not from the sale of short
measures, but from the disposal of the
bad and poor stock which he has. The
peddler will search the wholesale market
through for a damaged stock of grapes
or bananas which he can purchase cheap.
After an hour or two of mysterious work
he has his wagon or handcart properly
arranged for appearance on the public
thoroughfares.
The first customers are almost sure to
find themselves cheated after examining
their purchases on their arrival at home.
The good stock is held to attract the
late trade. If you watch a peanut ped
der just after he has located on a corner
for business you will see him with a
paper sack in hand picking out the dis
coiored nuts, which will go to the first
customers, and SO it is with all buck
sters. Pick your own goods and then
you are sure not to be cheated.-Inter-
view in st. Louis Globe-Democrat.

Piles Can be Cured.

Richard Bennett, Westfeld. N. Y,
writes.
For thirty-two years l suffered from
piles, both internal and external, with all
their attendant agonies, and like many
others suffered from hemorrhoids. All
those thirty-two years | had to cramp
myself to pay doctors and druggists tor
stuff that was doing me little or no good.
Finally | was urged by one who had had
the same complaint, but had been cured
by Brandreth's pills, to try his cure. L
did so. and began to improve and for the
past two years | have had no %inconven-
fence from the terrible ailmcDt."

A MANIA FOR ovERCoATs.
McGarvIn Released from the JaIi and
steals Another Coal.

Terrence McGarvin seems to have a
mania for stealing overcoats. Some weeks
z he stole an overcoat from Hellman's
clothing store and was run down and cap
tured by Capt. Smith. He pleaded
guilty to the charge preferred against him
and was placed in the county Jail a num-
Der of days for the %offeuse. He was only
liberated yesterday morning and, like the
Mississippi negro who was liberated from
the penitentiarv aud stole a horse to ride
home on. in the afternoon McGarvin
stole another overcoat. He hooked the
coat at Henry Harringlon's clothing store
on Eddy street. Officers Nowlan. ingalls,
and others were soon looking for him.
When he saw Depot Policeman Nowlan
he started on a lead run. but was intimi-
dated by the discharge of the officers
revolver. He was accompanied by
another good for-nothing tram. They
were both captured by Nowlau and
ingalls, after a hard chase and are now
in the tolls of the city calaboose.
