Sunday afternoon Miss Tacy Graft
drove their horse and ph&tOn over TO
the residence of Chas. Franklin, OH
south H street, and tied the horse to
the hitching post leaving the ph@tOn
there for Mr.. Franklin's use. Mr..
Franklin was at the depot at the time
but later returned aud saw the horse
tied there and went in the house to
get ready to take a drive. While he
was in the house the horse became
restive and succeeded in getting the
bride off its head. 1t then became
frightened and broke down the hitch
ing post and started to run. In the
meantime Mr.. Franklin had his atten-
tiOn attracted and ran out and sue
ceeded in catching the horse; but as
the horse had no bride on, and was
now thoroughly frightened he was
forced to turn it loose for lack of assist
ance. The horse then ran about two
blocks north and fell down breaking
the shafts and the phetOn all to smith
Greens. All four wheels were broken,
the shafts and the top and the pheton
was total wreck. No one was in the
ph@tOn at the time and no one was

o'clock Allen Deputy, an eight-year
old boy whose mother is i widow VIC
man residing on North Jefferson ave-
nue, thought he would rush the sea-
son a little and have a Fourth of July
celebration of his own. He had a
blank metal cartridge of large cali.
bre and thought he would see if he
could fire ii off, He succeeded admir-
ably, but with disastrous result. The
cartridge exploded with a loud bang
and the cap flew out and struck the
boy in the neck, burying itself there
in. TIE powder also went in his eyes
and blackened his face, beside ScOrch-
ing his hands badly. The blood be-
gan to stream from his neck and it
appeared as if the little fellow would
bleed to death. DR.. Reid was hastily
summoned and dressed the wounds,
none of which are fatal.
Young boys should not be allowed
to carry such dangerous playthings,
as they are liable to explode at any
time and in any manner. Allen only

guzzling demagogue into political
honors. Our people here were smart
enough to see through Syl Dixon's
scheme, and knew Syl Dixon got the
train up to further his own private
ends. and did not propose to become
a party to the scheme. Dixon has the
cars filled with shelled corn which
he has bought at a low figure, which
he hauls to st. Louis and sells on the
market and if the cyclone sufferers
get the money or any part of it, we
are much mistaken in Syl Dixon.
Just what benefit Sumner county will
derive from the kind of advertising
Syl Dixon and Mayor Savage gave it
we are unable to figure, but perhaps
they succeeded in advertising "pro-
hibition" Kansas and the good morals
of our people very successfully (?)

nail on the head when it says: "Mr.
Syl Dixon, who originated the scheme,
is a prominent grain dealer of Argo-

SehOOl Board Meeting.

The school board met Monday night
in adjourned session. The following
members were present: Emerson,
Newbold, Woods, Loper, McCarty,
Berger, Richardson and Maxey.
The subject of bonds and the liza.
bility OF the bank and its stockhold.
erS for the interest accruing in case
they should not be able to pay the
bonds when due on July lsu, was taken
up and discussed. H. W. Andrews, a
stockhOlder of the Sumner National
bank, was present and made few re-
assuring remarks to the board. The
question was discussed in its various
phases, but nothing definite could be
done.
The bids for janitor were then
opened. There were four bids for the
janitOrship of First ward, ranging
from $50 TO $40; six bids for Third
ward. varying from $50 to $50: two
bids for Fourth. $40 and $40, and an
application for the janltOrship of
Fifth ward from John Anderson. with
no amount stated.
A ballot was taken for ianitor of
First ward and j. NJ. Linn. who was
janitOr last year, was reelected. The
pay of the janitOr of First ward was
then fixed at S33. Mr.. Linn's bid was
$50, but his salary was put at $33, the
same as last year.
After much discussion a ballot was
taken for janitor of Third ward and
j. NJ. COckrell was chosen al a salary
of $50 per month. Mr.. Cockrells Did
was the highest Of all, but as he has
proved such an efficient janitor and
gave such universal satisfaction, he
was easily elected, only two members
voting against him.
Mr.. Maxey thought that the board
had not been getting enough for the
use of the auditorium for the lectures
and other entertainments, and was
supported in this by Emerson and
Newbold. Quite warm discussion
ensued and several disputes arose.
The history of the dealings of the
lecture course and the board was dis
clssed at some length. 1t was thought
BY some that in years past the lecture
course had not done what it had
agreed, but upon inquiry into the
matter it was found that this was a
and that the lecture club had
lived up 10 their agreements. No
change in the price for the use of tie
the room was made as several members
thought the price now charged, S12. 50
per night, was all that could be ex-
peCted.
The matter Of letting the High
school grounds for Fourth of July
celebration was discussed and it was
moved and carried that the grounds
should not be let for such purpose.
Some minor business concerning
certificates was discussed but no action
was taken.
Miss Belle MOore's letter Of refusal
to accept the position as primary
teacher was read. The refusal was
based on the ground that she had a
better position in another city.
