Thecounty High school trustees met at
the office of the county superintendent
Saturday afternoon and attended 10
Several preliminary matters incidental
to the opening Of the school two weeks
hence. The trustees decided to have the
school grounds and buildings repaired
and made pretty. The fences will be
painted and the sidewalks repaired. The
attendance promises 10 be very large
for the first term of the school. The
trustees believe there will be one hun
dred outside students in attendance. II
is claimed that the city will furnish at
least one hundred and fifty pupils which
viii thrown the attendance up TO the
go mark for the first term. There is
every reason to believe that in the
Course Of the next few years the attend
ance will be more than doubled and will
be more than doubled and will eventually
be trebled. The increase in the attend
ance will come from the outsided is
tric;s, which means much to the CITY,
The trustees Saturday appropriated 275
for the purpose Of accommodating Ii
brary and purchasing library case. The
trustees recognize the advantage and i'm
portance Of a good library, and ii is their
purpose 10 establish one that will be
credit to the county and to the school.
Another meeting of the trustees will be
called for this week. at which further
arrangements for the opening Of the
school will be made. Another teacher
VIII be elected At the meeting this week,
and possibly Two. a committee OF the
trustees was appointed 20 consider the
several applications and recommend
teachers for the places.
In all the churches in this city yester-
terday petitions were circulated praying
The county attorney to close the joints
in Wellington. The petitions received
many signatures. in some instances ev-
cry person OF lawful age in the church
signing their names. Petitions 10 that
end have been in circulation throughout
the county for several weeks the reason
assigned being that inasnuch as the
county high school was soon 10 be OPEN
ei, il was the duty OF the county officers
70 protect the country children as far
as possible from thep itfalls Of the city.
The origin Of the petition is traced TO the
Ministerial association OF this city, which
recently instituted a series Of temper
ance sermons at the open air services.

CORNER ON SILVER.

While the advance in the price of
wheat can be accounted for on the
grounds that the surplus being carried
for fhe past few years has disappeared
and Several great wheat producing
countries have a short supply, to say
nothing OF several other assignable rea-
sons, nobody has attempted to explain
the continued fall in the price of silver.
Having been completely demonetized
by the world, two nations excepted,
and there being no increase of prodrc-
ton, why should the commercial value
of the metal keep falling? 1t can't be
that the downward tendency can be at
tributed to an International goldbug
bear" movement to force Mexico and
China TO follow the example OF the rest
Of the world and declare for a gold
standard. Still the inclination TO the
belief that there is great and powerful
"bear" movement for the forcing down
of the commercial price of silver bull
ion is widespread Nearly a million Of
dollars OF silver bullion left the United
States for Europe last week. To
whom was this metal going? Such

BETTER THAN MINING.

Comparisons are not always odious.
They are sometimes instructive and
often profitable. As intimated else
where in the columns Of this issue, the
gold output Of the Klondike region cuts
sorry figure compared with the pro-
duct of Sedgwick and Sumner counties.
What interests the immigrant and
homeseeker most Is, that in casting his
lot here, he finds an agreeable and per-
manent home. II is not so In the inhos-
pitable mountains of Alaska From all
accounts 1t it extremely hazardous
even for young men to enter upon this
journey. There are no obstacles to the
transfer of goods. implements and FAM
lily to Kansas Lands, for the most part,
are improved, and there is nothing to
do but buy a quarter section at low
price and go to work. We have partial
failure Of crops, as they do everywhere
else, but mixed farming never fails to
yield competence.
Another point in favor Of Kansas is
that no settler ever draws a blank. In
going to the gold diggings the chances
are one to hundred, and often one to
a thousand, to strike pay ore The re-
suit is that he returns footsore and dis
couraged and often broken in health.
Every immigrant to Kansas, at a cost
lot to exceed the expense Of trip to
Klondike, buys good quarter section
" hitch becomes at once his own, to have
and to keep, and from which he may
grow his bread and meat, to say moth
ing of an annual surplus which yields
him the Injuries Of life and provides
the means for educating his family.
1t is under such conditions that the
young man may insure success. Here
he may identify himself with intelligent
people and, in so doing, live up to his
highest opportunities The question then
is. does it pay to discard sure thing
to brave the dangers Of these gold hunt
ing expeditions? Surely there are no
good business reasons for such course.
