The North school heating Apparatus

Most people in Lancaster know that
in the north school there is a heating
apparatus that differs from the com
mon hot air furnace but not all un-
stand its construction or wherein its
superiority over a common furnace
lies.

the cooler air only is received.
OF the seven or eight pipes leading
from the radiator room TO the several
parts of the building all work well but
one and it is believed that the diff
Guilty with that one has been found
and remedied. That the trouble ex-
perienced last winter with one room
was not a fault of the system is
proven by the fact that in the other
rooms the heating and ventilation
were satisfactory. 1t Is not surpris-
ing that in so large a heating and
yentilating system as this it should
take several months to get perfect re-
suits. The most skillful housewife
usually spoils several patches Of bread
with so simple a c%ontrivance as a new
cookstove before she gets it under per-
feet control.
The advantages Of this system are
its automatic regulation OF heat and
the superior ventilation furnished.
1t is true that public buildings are as
a rule almost without ventilation and
consequently are neither healthfal
nor comfortable. The apparatus in
the north school is guaranteed to
change the air in any room in ten min
utes which insures a satisfactory ven
tilation. The chief objection to the
plant, If any objection exists. is its
cost. Sixteen hundred dollars is a
large sun to eNpend for heating APP
paratus for a building the size OF the
North school.

81 LOUIS, July S.-Thursday morn
ing the last telegraphic reports began
to arrive in this city Of rains at western
points. These reports grew in number
Friday and their tenor included a large
territory, indicating that the entire east
ern watershed of the Rocky Mountains.
from the Nebraska and Iowa lines to
Texas, was swept by a storm. Friday
night the severest blow came. Reports
Of loss Of life and destruction OF prop
erty came with every telegram. and the
downpour which first was regarded as a
blessing grew into a wave of devasta-
ton. Many fields Of grain that prom
ised the most bountiful yield in years
are swept bare of vegetation. In sew
eral instances the seas Of rain were
abetted in their work Of BY
tornadoes.
1t is too early yet to sum up the loss.
but the total must be appalling. and
those TO whom the angry elements
spared life have little left 10 sustain it..
The stories Of storm are so similar that
a statistical summary is ain there Is
left to Ell.
The storm focus embraced an area Of
200 square miles. with the southwestern
corner Of Missouri as the center. The
greatest loss OF life is reported from
Winona. Mo. where eleven bodies have
been found, with as many more miss
ing.
At Baxter Springs. in southwestern
Kansas, five We're killed and eleven Sc
riously injured by a cyclone that ac-
companied the storm.
One was drowned at Columbus and
two at Ottawa, Kan.
At Van Buren,, Ark, a mother and her
babe were drowned.
A family Of five encamped on the
banks Of Fish Creek. in Indian Terri
tory. Yesterday nothing of them or
their belongings We're found except a
part of their wagon on a pile Of drift
wood.
At Townsville. No. where the rain
fall was four inches in one hour. five
persons were lost.
Unconfirmed reports are received Of
loss of life as follows:
Three at Fayetteville, Ark. one at
Paoli. Kan; one at Richards. kan. and
six of a hunting party in Indian Ter
ritory.
This gives a known and probable loss
of forty-three lives This total will
be increased when the recedins water
permits a thorough search. The loss
"a EAORNANS o. Nc RAaG6d III the Elll-
lions. Dwellings, fences and farm
buildings were carried off and wagon
and railroad bridges swept away. Thir-
ty of the eighty buildings in Winona
succumbed. Five residences, a church
and a warehouse went down at Baxter
Springs. Six bridges went out in Rus
sell county. Kansas. About jefferson
City, Mo-. many square miles of grow
ing grain were covered with debris.
Traffic on the Fort Scott and Memphis
railway is temporarily suspended.
Reports Of damage 10 property other
than noted in the foregoing come from
five points in Kansas, nine in Missouri,
six in Arkansas. two in Indian Terri
tory. The storm spent itself in Illi-
nois, but, having lost its force. proved
a blessing to crops.
These summaries give only a fraction
OF loss in property. The greatest bur-
den falls upon the farmers. as the sea-
son is too far spent to plant new crops
and suffering must surely follow in the
storms wake. 1t is feared the coun-
try's granary has been leaned u De-
tails of individual suffering n expe-
riences would fill volumes.

Lancaster was honored July 4th by a
distinguished visitor in the person Of
the Hon. ii. Clay Evans of Tennessee.
Mr.. Evans formerly lived in Lancas-
ter and has many friends and admir-
ers in this vicinity. Since leaving
Grant County he has become wealthy
and has attained a national reputation
as a public man. He is prominently
mentioned as a candidate for the vice
presidency.
In view of these facts much was
expected Of Mr.. Evans when he was
invited to shake at our recent celebra-
ton. A man of his standing should
be broad and liberal in his views.
He should realize that a Fourth of
July celebration is no time or place
for a display IF partisanship or per-
sonal grievances. But Mr.. Evans adj
dress was not broad and liberal. 1t
dealt too much with party politics, and
was a disappointment to many Of his
best friends. 1t cannot be sufficiently
excused on the ground that the regular
speaker was also partisan in his at
tacks on the last Wisconsin legislat-
ure. Both gentlemen should be
above such methods.

old case of mistaken identity is barely
made use of. The idea of the farce Is
particularly new. the situations are
new, and the treatment they received
from the company is new. The clever
lines and the clever acting obviate the
necessity Of string Of unimpressive
specialties. The run of the thing is
fast, but 1t is always legitimately con-
ned to the lines of pure farce" There Is

markable ingenuity and originality.

land, as told in the Arabian Nights"
1t is done. however, in a burlesque
fashion, retaining merely enough of the
original tale to give 1t continuity. 1t
is right up to date. and aside from the
plot 1t contains many bright, new and
interesting specialties. Nearly every
one Of the principals in the cast con-
tribute to the program a special turn"
which is entirely original and quite out
of the common. The music has much
that is original about 1t, and there are
moments when it borders upon the
standard of comic opera. The scenery,
costumes and properties are gorgeous.
A panorama representing the caravels,
the white squadron and the ocean grey
hounds, opening the second act, is an
artistic piece of marine painting, and
the transformation, 1.-The origin of the
harp" one of the handsomest scenes
ever put before Lincoln audience. The
chOruses and ballots are well trained
and are features of the performance.
There could have been no stronger
attraction provided for the patrons of
the Lansing theatre than that Of Rob-
ert Downing. who will be seen this.
Saturday evening, in his new play,
Helena" by the great French writer
Victorion Sardou. This play is the au-
thor's masterpiece and the very best
play of the American tragedian's rep
ertOire. 1t is a romantic tragedy, that
ranks with the celebrated "Gismonda,"
in which Fannie Davenport made her
great success, and from a scenic and
spectacular point of view is said to be
much above it. Mr.. Downing procured
the American rights to the play and
has played the piece only this season
and 1t has met with the greatest sue
cess and won high honor for it's author
and for Mr. Downing. The play has to
do with the atonement for and the
forgiveness Of a most brutal crime, and
in its sublime passages one is almost
carried away with enthusiasm. Eu-
genie Blair, the handsome leading wo-
man who has so long been identified
with Mr.. Downings successes will be
seen in the title role which presents a
most powerful dramatic figure. Miss
Blair rises far above the pathetic char
acters of Virginia and Neodamia in
this play and shows a wonderful
strength. Thecompany supporting Mr..
Downing is one Of the best that he has
ever identified himself with. 1t includes
such actors as Edwin Ferry, Charles
Collins, Mrs. F. N. Bates, J. H. Kolker.

New Game of Marbles.

A brand new game Of marbles has struck
the town, says the Nsw York Herald. With
lightning rap.dity it has spread from the
Battery to Harlem. 1t is not over a week
or two old, and yet by some mysterious
method the youngsters have all Caught on,
and they play the game by the same rules in
all parts of the town.
'Fcrty cut" or forty odd" is a game that
is designed to fill a long felt want Most
games with marbles can be played only upon
the bare earth. Paving stones are too smooth
and ccbb!estonep too rough. This fact is we'll
known to the shopkeepers. The shop nearest
a vacant lot will sell three times as many
"commies" as the others. This new game
IS adapted to well worn or ill-Iaid pavements
In fact. any place where there are numerous
cracks and crannies will answer. Each of
the places whera marble slowly rolled from
base will lodge is given numerical value
After the start from base" the marble is
rolled from the crack where it lodged.
Any number OF youngsters may engage In
the game, and the first one scoring forty
wins, but the intrcaciss of the count, while
apparently we'll understood by the youthful
players, are entirely too much for the casual
