THE nI0n SCHOOL.

Some of the Columbus papers arr
opposing the location of the County
High School at Baxter Springs. Ir
view of the fact that Baxter voted
solidly last fall for the new Colum
bus jail and is also supporting the
proposition to locate the State In
sane Asylum at Columbus We
think II strange they should oppose
our High School. We doubt Il
there is a sane man in Cherokee
county who would not say thai
Baxter Springs surpasses all Other
towns in the county in every re
spect as location for the County
High School.
1t is very proper the big county
Jail and insane asylum should be
located at Columbus, If for no other
reason than to accommodate the
editors of the Modern Light. 1t ID
also self.evident that Galena is the
proper place for criminal court
but Baxter. having neither Grimm
ais, Jail birds, or idiots, is decidedly
the proper location for the High
School.
There are people In Columbus
with almost human intelligence
aud we know they will agree with
us on Baxter as the most desirable
place for the school. Where IL
there a town in the whole state oi
Kansas with such delightful sur
roundings? Where is there town
with such pure water: We have the
lowest death rate in the state. We
have the finest natural parks in the
West. Our roads are always good
aud the drives the most pictur.
esque to be found anywhere. Our
morals are unique stionable and our
politics as good as the best. We
have community that may be ia.
vorably compared with any in the
country, and students may always
be assured of the best society and
elevating influences.
In order to secure the school with
the least expense to the county. We
believe our city would donate the
use of our city hall for school pur
poses. This building is one of the
most substantial in the county, be.
ing about Dx6O feet two stories and
a basement and well adapted to the
immediate wants of County High
School. The building is situated
in the center of "a beautiful park
covered with forest trees and cen
traliy located in the city of Baxter
Springs.
Oscar takes q more sensible view
of the situation and will undoubt.
edly favor Baxter as the location
but he ia in error as to any trade
we have made with Galena. We be-
lieve in reciprocity and inasmuch
as we support the Galeua court
proposition Galena should support
our High School proposition. We
also voted for the Columbus Jail
and will do all in our power 10 sc.
cure them the insane asylum. but
we assuredly think they ought to
reciprocate. The Modern Light
outfit have never been right during
their mortal lives and we shall ex-
pect no encouragement from that
q uarter; but the intelligent En'
giish.speaking newspapers OF the
entire county should come out
strong and unmistakably for the
location of the County High School

that a town councillor could effect

A Methodist missionary in Ceylon
one day received call from an aged
Buddhist. He was So years old and
very decrepit and almost blind. Like
all others of his religion he looked for
reincarnation in another body, after
he died, according to his merits, and
this is his list Of merits as he told it
to the missionary: II have climbed
Adams Peak twenty-six times; | have
visited the Temple of the Tooth seven
times; have caused several Buddhist
books to be copied and given to the
priests, and / have never killed an
animal, except few fish that
caught. SO you see I have plenty of
merit, and shall be born well in my
next life" This old man had not done
good to any human being, and his
faith appeared to be mostly faith in
himself Ceremonial religion furnish

that winter is an unhealthful season,
Is all wrong. Winter is just as health
full as summer, IL people will take care
Of themselves. If you want TO so
through the winter without a cold, OBJ
serve these few simple rules:
Don't overhead your house, and
don't stop all ventilation. Sleep in a
cool room, but keep warmly covered.
Always take off your outdoor wraps
when you come in the house, and al
ways put them on when you go out.
And, lastly, just as long as there Is
snow on the ground, don't go out with
out your rubbers. This last rule is the
most important of all, for two colds
out of three come from wet feet

Some interesting Roentgen ray ex-
periments on Egyptian mummies have
just been concluded at the British mu-
scum. DR.. J. Anderson, who is en-
gagged on a great work on the zoology
of Egypt, has satisfactorily determined
the species of the sacred animals OF
the ancient Egyptians. By means OF
the X-ray a case of sacred balloons
has been identified. One mummy dat
ing from the fourteenth century before
Christ belongs, he finds, to the species
now found in northeastern Africa.
