there were eleven buildings, and to-day
there are forty-four district buildings. a
high school building. a training school
building and a library.
There are probably some persons who do
not know that the Public Library is part
of the public school system. In 1871 a law
was passed authorizing the Board of
School Commissioners to establish a puo-
lie library and providing that a tax be le-
WED by the board for the maintenance
thereof. In December the Library Associa-
ton of Indianapolis transferred to the In
dianapolfs Public Library its books num-
bering 3642 volumes. In 1872 the library
was catalogued and arranged by William
F. Poole, of the Cincinnati Public Library.
1t was located first in the High school
building, and afterwards removed to the
old Sentinel building in 1874. In 1880 the liz
brary was again removed to the building
at the corner of Pennsylvania and Ohio
streets where it remained, under lease
until the board was legally authorized to
purchase property for library purposes.
In 1890 the lot at the corner of Meridian and
Ohio streets was bought and the library
building begun. and in 1894 the library was
placed in its present permanent quarters.
This building cost s122 900. The books now
number 6S,267 volumes, with total regis
tration of % 1885,
The School Board has been. for the most
part, particularly fortunate in its choice of
superintendent, for they have been wise in
their management of affairs, progressive in
their ideas, broad and liberal in their grasp
of intellectual lines, and they have had the
sympathy of the patrons of the schools.
a. G. Shortridge continued head of the
schools from 1871 to 1874, and he was then
succeeded by George Z. Brown, and he in
turn in 1879 by H. S. Tarbel. At the close
of Mr. Tarbelrs term Louis II. Jones was
called to take the position, and he held it
until Cleveland, O., won him from his place
and David K. Goss was called from Ger
many to take the reins of government, and
he still holds the position. In the conduct
of the library the school commissioners
have also had efficient, intelligent
and progressive managers. Charles
Evans took the office of librarian in 1872
and remained six years Albert B. Yohn
then had it for two years and he was fol-
lowed by A. b. Tyler, who was in from
1878 to 1888, and then William DEM. Hooper
was elected to the position. Mr.. Evans was
called back to be the city librarian in 1889
and his term continued until 1892 when
Miss Eliza G. Browning, the first woman
ever in the office. was elected by the board
and is still the city librarian.
The career of the Industrial School has
been short, but it has been brilliant, and
the wonder is how indianapolis got her po-
sition at the head of school systems before
this school was opened. 1t is as it's name
indicates, manual training school as well
as a high school. 1t is pride TO the city
and was built in 1895 at a cost for the
building of 1852 3695s and a cost for equip
ment of $31, 27019.
To the school buildings over $4,000 pupils
will go tomorrow morning early.

THE BIG WIND.
observer Barwick DisCourses on
BOreas' Character,

The Weather Bureau reports show the
highest and lowest temperatures yes
terday to have been 66 and 80 degrees.
with high noTtherly winds and clear
weather prevailing.
The barometrical readings at ) a. m.
and p. M yesterday were 1892 and
299S inches, respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday We're ~ and 81
degrees, and one year ago to-day -
and 80 degrees.
The barometer is rising slowly, and
the portion of the country that has been
short Of wind has about got it's vacuum
filled up. An evidence of this is in the
decrease Of the winds velocity last
night. The wind always blows from a
high" towards that point where there
is low" barometer. The country
over which a low barometer hovers is a
part of the country where there is a de-
ficiency of air, and the country where
high barometer hovers is a country
where there is an excess of atmosphere
This excess proceeds on nearly merid-
ian lines to reach that part Of the coun-
try where the vacuum exists, and the
greater the vacuum the more rapid the
winds movement so as to fill up as
quickly as possible what nature abhors
"a vacuum.
For instance, when a low barometer
exists in Oregon and a high in Califor-
ma, southeasterly gales prevail in Cali
fornia, but when a low barometer pre-
walls in Arizona and Southern Califor-
MIA then northerly gales will prevail in
California. The former brings over
rains, with cloudy weather, while the
latter brings northerly winds and clear,
dry weather. The one is winter winds
and the other spring and fall winds,
While our prevailing summer winds are
from the south and gentle in velocity.
TO show the rapidity and continuous
movement of the wind for the past for
ty-eight hours, the following record
tells each hours actual wind velocity,
beginning with the hour from S a. m.
to 9 a. m. of the 18th, and ending with
8 a. m. of the 18th. Each number rep
resents the miles travelled in each hour,
and is as follows:
From a. m. to 9 a. m. of the 18th,
% miles, and for each hour afterwards
10 miles-22, %, 20, 20, q, %, 20, u,
-, %, 20, is, %, 26, 20, 20, %, p, 2S,

This was an average velocity during
the forty-eight hours of about % miles
per hour, and reaching extreme veloci-
ties on several occasions of 40 miles per
hour. The wheat crop will not suffer
from rust this season, as the blow has
precluded any such an occurrence.

the perfectly healthy man. Speaking Of
joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla, ne said:
Il did not use the remedy until l had
been advised to 40 so, and then l did
not put much faith in it, but now l can
safely say that joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla is a great remedy, and that
it clarifies the blood leaving no bad eff
fects on the entire body. I never had
a single pimple or blemish on my face;
/ never had the least disagreeable feel
ing while l used joys Vegetable Sar-
saparilla. OF course, 1 was not sick
man, yet felt out of sorts and was be-
ginning to lose flesh. Yes, ] do recon-
mend joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla."
l may as well tell you that Ventura is
all praise for joys Vegetable Sarsa-
parilla, and that the druggists are not
palming off something just as good for
the native remedy. When people ask
for joys Vegetable Sarsaparilla they
get joys, and that is just what the
druggists of San Francisco ought to do
They ought to hand out the native
remedy when people ask for it. Ger
tainly what everyone says is good must
be good. HENRY TILLMAN.

VENTURA (Cal), March 1st.

VENTURA (Cal), March 1st.
send you the portrait of Mr.. Fran
cisco Garcia. 1t was taken during the
past week By it you will observe the
pink of good health in the coloring of
the cheeks, the brightness of the eyes
and robustness of the individual. True,
you cannot see, as 1 have seen, one OF
the best specimens of manhood. Mr..
Garcia is one the finest looking men
within a days walk of Ventura. He
is able to hold his own with all the
young men of this place. When / was
introduced to him l remarked his
strength, and he told me that it was
only while ago when he was out of
sorts, all run down, no appetite and
troubled with sleeplessness. He was
advised to and did use joys Vegetable
Sarsaparilla. He told me exactly what
hundreds have before said. He soon
began to sleep at night, his bowels be-
came regular, his appetite returned,
and he was enabled to do a good days
work, eat a fair share Of food and sleep
his allotted hours. Now he weighs $50
pounds, and in all his movements shows
