NOT PERFECTLY SAFE.
rhis Opinion Has Been Expressed About
tho New white street school BuIIdIug.

This Opinion HAS Been Expressed About
tho New white street school Building.
For some time past rumors concerning the
safety Of the new White street school build
ing have heeu brought 10 the attention Of
the committee on building and repairs of the
School Board. The latest report and one
which brought about an investigation was
mentioned to S7perintendent J w Cooper
last week hv a carpenter who was employed
on the erection Of the building. The cause
Of the rumor was n beam running east and
west, on the second floor, between rooms 2
and 4. and which was said to be too short.
The contractor had built brick brackets and
also gave the beam an extension of 22 inches
on the wall
II was decided by the building and repairs
committee to have an investigation The
ceiling Of the first floor was torn open and q
hole was cut in the floor above. As soon rs
the mortar had been cleared away it revealed
that the rumors were greatly exaggerated.
Il was found that the wooden stringers were
inserted into the wall a depth Of 22 inches
The iron girder to which the stringers are
bolted lacked the same depth to some extent.
Another point revealed was that they were
upheld by an additional bracket on the end
Nultu WIS ld6ltHtu CluSSWlht 70 tut ubIbI
stringers There are two more girders
supporting the weight.
School Directors Holvey and President
KEEPER were present They were accom-.
panied by Morris Heckman, the contractor,
whose services they had sought as inspector.
After thoroughly examining the walls and
girders he said he would not condemn the
job entirely but did not consider it perfectly
safe. He expressed three reasons for his as
serton That the wall was not thick
enough; that the bracket upholding the
girder lacked sufficient length that the
bracket was placed in position after the wall
had been built and it was impossible to
tighten it sufficient to bear its required
weight.
The above facts will be presented to the
committee in writing to be brought before
the School Board, so that action can be taken
in the matter.
Directors Holvey and Lee on Saturday
evening made an inspection Of the Turkey
Run school building to acquaint themselves
with the repairs that are necessary before the
opening of the term.

COnsumptiOn cured.

BROUGHT BACK FROM THE GRAVE.
Last November Mr.. Joseph James,
painter, of 325 w. Pearl St., Indianapo-
lis, Ind, was at death s door with quick
consumption. Wasted to a skeleton;
his lungs a mass of liberation; his
death was hourly awaited by his doctor
and family. He was kept in a constant
stupor with opium. A friend, thinking
to relieve his terrible cough, gave him
bottle of Brazilian Balm. Seeing its
wonderful effect, the doctor advised its
continued use. Mr.. James soon after
dismissed his doctor, and depended
on the Balm alone. His recovery was
rapid and complete, and in February he
returned to work. His lungs are sound,
and his weight greater than at any time
in his life. His recovery is regarded as
almost a miracle.
