OUR HIGH SCHOOL. PROF. VIM. M. Martin
of the Thurmont high School informs US
that the receipts from his pupils for the Sec
ono (current) term amounts TO within one
dollar Of his salary for that term. The High
School is theoretically a branch Of our Public
School system and the public school is sup.
posed to be a free school. Now we do not
wish to he understood as making invidious
comparisons; Companions are odlous," you
know, but we do desire to put it squarely
before our County authorities as basis Of
negotiation for better facilities. The present
room, when not over.crowded, would not
be open 10 u broad claim of unfitness and
yet at its best it can lay small claim to SPECIAL
adaptation. As it is, however,it undoubtedly
fails to meet the requirements. Now, let US
endeavor to draw a logical conclusion from
the two propositions as laid down above: first
that the Thurmont High School is branch
of our Free Public School system, that almost
wholly pays the erpense Of conducting it. Sec
ond, the room is Objectionable and beng now
oyer.crowded precludes further growth;
therefore, the County is wholly without basis
OF argument against call for new High
School Building in Thurmont.
This building should be erected next sum-
mer and in order that it shall be, it is neces.
sary that the County commissioners 80 de-
eide before the next tax levy is arranged.
We therefore submit TO the Hon Board OF
County Commissioners this proposition and
trust that it bear the same logical and unan-
swerable aspect in their view of the matter
that it does here and with US. One more
word gentlementhis matter will come before
you formally IN due course of time and our
purpose in this is to have you thoroughly
digest the proposition in advance Of that
event.

Commander Boynton in declining to np-

KANSAS CITY, Kan, Oct. 27.-The green

Chief of Police Quarles, of this city, one of
their letters asking him to handle their
goods at the high profit OF $50, 900 for $500.
The letter was accompanied by the usual
confidential circular card of instructions
and alleged newspaper clippings. The
green goods men undoubtedly did not
know that the chief now held the official
position ut the head of the police depart
ment.
They sent the letter to the firm of
Swingley & Quarles, under which the
chief and Justice of the Peace Swingley
formerly conducted livery ,business.

way of suggesting protection from the

DEVASTATION BY PRAIRIE FIRES.
Some Further Details of the losses of Prop.
erty in Nebraska.

GORDON, Neb., Oct. 21.-Thc facts about
the prairie fires are reaching here and
they tell wocful tale. The fires broke
out last Monday in the South Sand hills,
about fifty miles south of this place, and
have burned already over a strip of coun-
try 100 miles in length by forty miles
wide. The fire is burning in an easterly
direction. The flames burned all the
range slick and clean on the Spade ranch.
belonging to Richards a. Cairnes, and
about 5000 tons of hay, leaving about
1000 tons. This ranch has 1909 head of
cattle and l75 head of horses and it will
necessitate the moving of the whole outfit
up to the White river in South Dakota
The next ranch to burn was Stanbirtis
Bros, who lost all their hay. about $3.50
tons. and all of thier range; the ranch has
LOO head of cattle. The next was Len
Osborne's, burning all his range and all
his hay, about 400 tons, and his barn and
outbuildings; this ranch was feeding
about 200 head Of cattle. Osborne will
have to move his cattle at once. as he has
no hay or range and no protection at all. .
The next was Miners ranch, burning all
his hay, about 800 tons; feeding about 200
head of cattle.
ers wind, Notwithstanding that thirty
men were working like beavers to put it
out. The next ranch TO go was Wood
ruf's. burning all his hay, about 400 tons,
and all his range; the ranch supported
about 300 head of cattle. Woodruff also

head of cattle. The next was Mason's,

dollars with very light or no insurance.
He had 200 head of cattle
The next was Davis. He lost all of his
hay-1,2o0 tons-but none of his build
ings; he has about 900 head of cattle This

are quite number of small ranches
burned down on the Burlington and Mis-
souri,. Samuel, Chestnut Morcy and
Hewitt, j. II. Oycrton and Dan Hill are
the only men that were not burned The
loss from this fire at present will run up
into the millions. besides the expense of
moving all the stock. for hay is scarcer
this fall than it has been for years.
