SCHOOL BoARD.-The school board
held its regular meeting last night
at their room in the Second Ward
school building with all the men,
bers present. After pleasant So
cial chat they went into business
session, President Wolfes in the
chair. After some discussion on the
subject of school bonds they pro-
ceeded to business. The first thing
in order was the reading of the min
utes. Next was the reading and pay
ment of bills. All the old janitors
were retained at the salary of last
year, excepting Mr.. Leman, janitor
of the Sd ward, whose salary was in
creased because of the extra duty
OF the coming year, on account of
the addition of two rooms in that
building made necessary by the
crowded condition of the school,
caused by the increase of pupils from
the fist and third wards. Bids were
opened for the renovation and fur
nishing of these two rooms. The
two persons bidding were W. S.
Small and W. E. Tebo. Mr.. Tebo
was the lowest bidder and wss
awarded the contract for one hum
dred and sixty-fve dollars. A propo
sition was also before the board 10
purchase the vacant lot known as
the Hooge lot adjoining the 9Th
ward school. After an expression
of opinion by all members present
no action was taken as the price
$1,000 was thought to be excessive,
and the matter went over for future
action. The schools were thorough
ly discussed and everything seemed
to be in satisfactory condition. At
ter some pleasant exchanges in gen.
erai conversation the board adjourn
! ed to meet at the next regular time.

The air of room may be purified in

the air the water is all right, but don't
use it to wash in or to drink. For those
purposes use fresh water, just drawn, or
use from vessels that are always covered

TO SUE FOR BACK WAGES.
Present Members of the Police Force
Want the Additional So.

The members of the Topeka police force
will commence suit to recover back sal
airy which they claim is due them The
law allows for the running of the Metro
pOlitan police departments a salary of $50
per month for patrOlmen for the first six
months of service After this the salary
is $50. The two jailers and patrol driver
after six months service are allowed SEQ
per month.
When the Republican police board was
appointed it was decided to make this as
economical an administration as possible
and the salary of patrolmen, jailers and
patrol driver was fixed at $50 for all the
time.
The present force expect to hold office
not longer than January next, and they
will try to make this back. PatrOlman
Owens, who was a member of the old
force was receiving $55. and when he had
served six months for the Republicans
his salary was cut to $50 with the others.
Most of the men have held positions for
nearly two years, and should they win
their suit there will be over 50 500 in back
salary paid over to the present police
force.
