Through the courtesy of Contrac- tor Lane and Prof. J. H. Hinemon, our reporter was conducted today through the Pine Street School, which heneeforth will be the High School. The building has been re- modelled in every particular A brick wing has been added to the building, which greatly enhances it's appearance. The walls have all been calsamined and new black boards have been put i'll. Tn the rear of the building is another little room, which will be used as the Su- perintendent's private office. Next to this is room which will be used as a library for the school. The Su- perintendent desires us to state that any donations to the library will be very gladly accepted. This should receive the hearty support of the public, as thepupils would be greatly benefited by library. There are two recitation rooms on the lower floor and cloak room for the boys. On the upper floor are the girls cloak room, two recitation rooms and the large recitation room. The building has fine ventilation and is one of the best school buildings in the State. The public should feel grateful to the School Board for the interest they have shown in their ef- forts to make our public schools all that could be desired. In Prof. Hinemon we have a gentleman who is in every way a capable Superin- tendent and who promises to make our schools the best in the history of our city.

RESULT OF KANSAS POLLS.
Republicans Say They.WiII Have n
Plurality of 10000.

TOPEKA, Kan, Nov. with the clos
ing night of the campaign in Kansas the
situation is still unchanged. Both sides
claim the State by large majorities. Final
rallies were held throughout the State to-
day by both parties. In this city rival
demonstrations were held. At a Republic
an love feast here tonight two-minute
talks were given by a hundred speakers
who have spent the past two months on
the stump over the State. and their opin-
ion is that the Republicans will elect their
national. State and congressional candi-
dates. The Republicans, at great expense
have made several careful polls of the
State, and the last shows a majority of
10000 for Mckinley electors. The fusionists
have not had the funds to make a
thorough poll, but from their returns they
estimate at least 10000 majority for the
Bryan electoral ticket.
At fusion headquarters q message was
received tonight from Chairman Jones de-
failing the alleged plan of Republicans in
of their agents. Chairman Jones warned
his Kansas allies TO be on their guard and
tonight Democr ltic chairman Briedenthal
spread the warning to county committee
men throughout the State. His message
adds: You are justified in resorting to ex-
treme measures to preserve the purity of
the ballot and the liberties of the American
people"

VIII Go for Bryan.
CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-On the eve of election
the lines of the two great parties are in
practically about the same position as
when the situation was outlined forty-elght
hours earlier. The admission of Chairman
Jones that the State could be classed
among those in the doubtful column, has
not been overencouraging TO the managers
of the State election on the Democratic
side. but they have not weakened in the
least and say tonight that they are sure
OF carrying the State by a majority of
from 5000 to $4,000. They claim fourteen
out OF twenty-one congressman. a majority
OF the lower house in the State Legisla-
ture and say that with the aid of the Pop
ulists TO be elected they will elect a sill
yer man to be the successor of Senator
John NJ. Palmer. The claims OF the Re
publlcans are more extensive and with two
or three exceptions. they claim every one
OF the congressman, all of the State ticket
and the electoral vote for Mckinley by
anywhere from 5000 TO 10000. They say
that they are absolutely sure of the re-
suit OF the State and national tickets as
the poll OF the State which they had been
conducting has been so thorough and so
exact that there is very little chance of
any estimate made upon it being far out
