Burns, Endangering Inmates.
5 lbs finest California Granulated

A disastrous fire occurred in Oakland
early this morning The two-story dwell
ling house at 123 Oakland avenue, owned
by Mrs. W. A. Rankin and occupied by
herself, her daughter. Minnie, and a hired
boy, was totally destroyed, together with
the furniture about 1 o'clock. The in
mates barely escaped with their lives.
The fire is supposed to have started
from a defective fiue. and when discov-
cred was burning rapidly Mrs Rankin
was awakened by the smoke entering her
room, and had scarcely time to wake her
daughter and call the boy, sleeping in an
through the walls of her bedroom. Half
of the upper portion of the house was
then in flames, and the three inmates
were forced to make their escape to a
nefghboring house in their night robes.
IS there is no water connection in Oak
land nothing could be done towards saw
ing the house, and it was totally demoi-
ished The loss is placed at $500 and
the insurance on both house and furni-
ture amounts to but $500.

MONEY SAVED ON SCHOOLS.
The Report of the Treasurer Of Board
of Education Shows $1,000
Surplus.

The city board of education has made
the past year one OF economical meth
DDS The report of the treasurer, W M
Macferran, last night at the regular
monthly meeting, shows that there is
a clear surplus in the general fund
of 81, Geo. At the close of 1885 the board
was in debt IS, 500 The result of the econ
omy practiced is gratifying alike to
both the board and tax payers.
The service given during the past
year has been the best in the history
of the schools, and all this with less
money than formerly. All 1896 bills
against the board have been settled and
the Topeka schools start out clear of
debt, and then some.
The date of the mid-winter COM
nencement exercises of the high school
was set for January p. On this occa-
sion the Rev. CharleSN B. Mitchell of
Kansas City, Mo, Will deliver the ad-
dress to the class. He was many years
ago q pupil in the Topeka high school
and has promised to make the address
at commencement.
IN six of the city schools an eighth
grade is maintained. This grade is in
charge of the principals. and in order
to give them q chance to look after the
other grades in their buildings, the
board last night elected three supply
teachers who will assist They will di-
vide their time in the six eighth grades,
each teacher spending the mornings in
one grade and the afternOonSin the 9th
er. The three teachers elected were
Misses Irene True, Il graduate of Wash
burn college; Miss Anna Banks. a
graduate of the state university and
Miss BERTHE Snyder, a graduate of the
Kentucky Female college and state
normal. The salary of these supply
teachers will be $40 month.
The board ordered the secretary to
buy 20 Roudebush vertical writing
charts for use in the schools. z. II
Roudebush is the author of the charts
For some time the vertical writing sys-
tenn has been in use in the Topeka
schools.
The ever present book fight again
came before the meeting. and after dis
cussing the question OF grammars al
length, it was decided to adopt Hyde's
Lessons in English for the third
fourth and fifth grades. Also Hohen-
shells grammar viii be used in the
seventh ard eighth grades.

Marvelous Resulta

BAPTIST church at R.ves Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia

brought into the city after having had
distemper and [ could do nothing with
him lie continued to run down ana
his condition seemed to stimulate the
growth of hair and he had long Snag-
CIV coat but do what could could not
fatten him. 1 saw many veterinary sur
geons and tried a dozen dlnerent rene
dies but none of them did any good.
Finally some one advised clipping ana
I clipped him just before such spell
as this to aiso,-
pIined you for it, said Judge Foster
"HoWeyer that may be- continued
Mr.. Foster, the colt began to thrive
from that moment and he went out in
the spring in the best of condition.
Clipping l am satisfied from my exper-
fence. is an excellent thing"
Guilford Dudley was the next speak
er. He begged the council to exercise
common sense. He said that he had
been told by two or three different peo-
pie that one of the distinguished gen
tlemen of the city who taxes great
deal of interest in the affairs of other
people has two horses in his stable with
diseased feet. Now all we want is a
law that will give equal justice and
beg that you take common sense view
of this question.
1t was supposed that Mr. Dudley's
reference was to Judge Foster and that
gentleman was on his feet in an in
slant. IF I had two horses said he.
Il might think that the gentleman re-
ferred to me but as | have but one
horse ana he IS Il years ola ana my
daughters have little pony and both
are perfectly sound, l suppose he has
reference to some one else. From what
can hear my friend Dudley is one OF
the worst offenders in overlooking
horses
j. w Bell-What I say will be so
plain that 1 can not be misunderstood
An attempt is being made to carry this
ordinance through on sentiment. There
are several men here who think they
| are gentlemen and we do not think We
! have been treated exactly right for
| when Judge Foster spoke he pointed
! his hand towards us and placed US in
! the same category with cock fighters.
Judge Foster-Oh l beg your pardon,
| that is not what / meant.
That is what you said" spoke up q
| half dozen of the horsemen and the
! mayor was compelled to put a stop to
! the discussion.
On motion of Councilman Warner
/ the clause relating to the clipping of
| horses was stricken out. 1t was agreed
| that the other provision of the ordi-
| nance concerning cruelty would apply
| to the exposure of a clipped horse.
The ordinance was then passed with
| out opposition.
