High School Boarding. Club.

10 response to demand for cheaper
board, a boarding club has been or.
gained upon the following plan: The
cooking is to be done by Mrs. s. s.
Frank at 50 cents a week for each in.
dlvldual member Of the club. The
club will purchase its own provisions
which will be cooked and placed upon
the table all ready TO eat at a cost OF
5Ocents per week to the student. A
room can be rented for so cents a
week.
Having organized upon this plan we
have every reason to believe that
good board and room can be secured
oy students at a cost OF sl.75 or 50 q
week, The club will remain as it has
been organized under the advice and
direction Of the faculty OF the High
school. Persons desiring to enter the
club can do so at any time. Further
information concerning it can be had
at the High school building on Satur.
day or during the week.

WELLINGTON SUMNER COUNTY, KANSAS THURSDAY SEPTEMBER ~ 1905

which cost him 1925 this season, about
800 bushels of wheat and a loft full of
hay. The barn was about 36x4O In
dimensions, with large hay loft.
His loss on hay alone will be quite
large, as he has been shipping hay
from the Strip and had stcompleted
Milling the loft. 1t is thought the 800
bushels Of wheat is not a total loss, as
the hre did not penetrate it to a
depth of more than six inches.
Whether there was an insurance or
not we were unable to learn, but it is
thought there was, as Mr.. Jarvis
house is insured. The loss will az
gregate about $1,000. As usual, the
origin Of the fire is unknown.

The council decided that night to
quit taking Ice for the public fOun-
tains Of the city.
1t was found that the man 10 whose
family diphtheria is said to exist in
the southwest part OF the city, was
circulating around town, notwith-
standing the fact that the family Is
supposed to be quarantined. Marshal
Shawver was instructed to notify the
family next morning that they must
remain at home until the quarantine
was lifted.
After discussing a couple Of side.
walk ordinances the council finally
had TO come to "show down. on the
historic malt question Of the city Of
Wellington. A report was read from
City Attorney Harry L. Woods to
the effect that he had purchased So
called malt from every joint in town,
and that ii was nothing more or less
than good old intoxicating beer. He
had drank two bottles of the liquor
and it made him so drunk that he
could hardly walk. After he went to
bed, the bed wouldn't keep still and
almost got away from him. The city
attorney had two bottles Of beer at
the council meeting that night and
invited the councilmen to drink Of 1t
themselves to ascertain whether 1t
was intoxicating. Whether or not
the councilmen thought two quart
bottles hardly sufficient to 20 around,
or whether they thought thatamoun
would create trough house" vas not
brought out. Leastwise, they didn't
take any OF the beer. Mr.. Woods
started 10 by trying TO repeal the city
malt ordinance. Here he began to
see how things were going. The
councilmen, with the exception Of two
who had been excused before the malt
question came up, jumped onto the
ordinance to repeal and killei it
quick. Then an effort was made by
the city attorney TO have a seizure
clause attached to the present ordi-
nance. This met the fate Of the
repeal ordinance. Then an ordinance
was sprung to hayethe malt li&nse
tax abolished. Itgot one vote. Thus
the malt question is disposed OF for
the present.
The council adjourned until the
next regular monthly meeting.
