School Notes.


The board of education has found it
necessary to order new seats for the
school.
The enrolment is the largest in
the history of the school and still in
creasing rapidly.
At the teachers meeting this after
noon the subject of current events
will be considered.
A large new stove has been placed
in room No. 4. The old stove was
not large enough to heat the room.
In connection with the report
cards copy of the rules and regu-
lations of the school will be sent to
each family. These are simply for
the information of the patrons and
may be retained for future reference.
During the last two months we
have had entirely too many case OF
tardiness, as the reports will show.
Coming few minutes earlier would
have prevented almost every case.
Can we not have an effort toward
more prompt attendance.
Report cards will be given to all
the pupils next Monday. These cards
are intended TO give the parents a
means of Judging the character of
the work done by their children
during the first two months of school.
They should be promptly signed and
returned to the teachers, as it is i'm
portant that these cards be preserved
for other reports.

the Alleged Murderer to Mexico.
Washington. Oct. 1.-THE state de-
pArtment has refused the request Of
the Mexican government for the sur
render to It under the extradition treaty
of Jesus Guerra, who was one Of Gar
seas lieutenants In the celebrated Gar
sea raid into Mexico In December 1893.
The case is of more than usual inter-
est because Of the strenuous efforts
made by the Mexican government to
secure Guerra. He was one Of party
of about 100 men who crossed the bor-
der from Texas Into Mexico and at
tackled and captured Mexican town.
He was sought to be extradted for
murder, robbery and KIDNAPPING. The
Texas court decided that he could not
be surrendered. the 0ffense charged be-
ing really political. The case was APP
pealed to the United States supreme
court. which decided That the lower
court had no jurisdiction In Its inter-
ference with the committing magis-
trate, and reversed its holding. This
brought the case at last to the state
department. and Solicitor Penfield takes
the same ground that was assumed by
the Texas court.
