BOREAS' OWN DAY,
FIRST CLASS N0RTHER sWO0pS
DOWN ON KANSAS.
Ssverest Storm on Record Consider
ing Its Early Date -slsst and Snow
Make a White Covering for the
Fields.

Sunday was a balmy spriag-like
day that made even light ovcrcoats
Oppressive and the church goers were
attired in dainty costumes without
wraps The high south winds and
skurrying clouds looked suspicious
but people rather saailed when they
saw the white flag. with "a square
black center dappag at che top Of
the signal service pole. The evening
was likewise warm and it continued
until about 3 o'clock when suddenly
the wind changed to the north and a
first-class norther began business.
All night it roared and whistled,
the sleet and snow COMING with the
wind while the thermometer which
had been smiling at 20 dropped to Is.
Morning showed no iet.up and even
until late Monday afternoon the skies
gave no signs d clearing. About
four inches Of snow, 'driited in places
to nearly as MANY feet, have fallen,
much Of it being sleet that irMe as it
fell.
While no stock losses are yet re-
ported herds that have no shelter will
suffer severely and the feeders are
kept busy making the animals COM
Portable.
The fact that it rained East night,
then froze aud so weighted the cattle
with sleet will make it hard on many
feeders and losses may be expected.
The storm is che earliest Of the
kind on record and has oome as a sur.
prise. Trains wece all delayed today
and telegraph lioes eastward were
down. The storm is general over the
State and is a direct importation from
Manitoba.
The signal service says the snow
will continue ia eastern Kansas to-
night but Tuesday viii be fair with
nigh northerly gales. Colder tonight.
The highest temperature today was
"A above zero.
Hicks did not miss il far in his pre-
lictions. He says: From Goth to

BARRED FOR FOOT BALL.
Six County High School Students Arc

tan last Saturday to see the foot ball
game. The Manhattan team was Sc
cured to play here three weeks ago
with Chapman and everybody was al
lowed to 60. Then the boys wanted
return game and the doors were
shut. They went anyhow with the
above result. 1t is said that the sus-
pension is for l5 school days but as
several Of the boys are in the senior
class it is likely to be enough to pre-.
vent their graduation. Their parents
are very indignant as are many citi-
zens here and a special meeting Of the
board Of trustees will probably have
to settle the matter. Heretofore the
school management has always en-.
couraged athletics and it seems rather
remarkable to have such summary
punishment meted out because Of the
interest in it.

THE FAcULTY's SIDE.
Prot. Carter Says the Suspension VIII
Stand.


Peyton Carter, one Of the teachers
in the county high school, was in the
city Saturday evening and talked
freely about the suspension Of stu.
dents for going to the foot ball game
AT Manhattan. He says that four Of
the high school boys, about the only
snes large enough for the purpose,
have been playing with the Chapman
team When Manhattan played at
Chapman no oae objected as it was
after school hours. Later the boys
asked permission to play at Manhat-
tan and got it but the faculty found
that instead OF playing with Chapman
they played 10 team made up partly
Of Junction players. Then the facui.
ty passed a rule that no student
should be allowed to leave the school
during class hours to play football or
witness a game. When Chapman
went to Manhattan the boys asked to
30 but the faculty refused permission.
The boys, however, went as did two
young ladies who bad their parents
permission, about s5 going altogether
from the town. The faculty then sus-
pended the boys for Is days and the
girls for 10 days for violation of the
rule Mr.. Carter says that by the
boys going into the town team it has
made it impossible for the school to
have an eleven Of its own and the
rule was adopted in part to keep the
school team up; partly also because
the faculty thinks it would demoralize
the school to have the students take
too mach interest in the outside
games. He says the suspension will
stand as it is thought that the board
will sustain the faculty in its action.
County Supt. Humbargar spent
Saturday at Chapman investigating
the matter. No board meeting has
been called yet. The law is being
looked up to see il any power except
the board can suspend a pupil.
