has a long story about the tide of
liquor which has been flowing steadily
into Kansas from that city year after
year, has recently shown its first ebb.
The liquor is flowing back Ito Kansas
City now, the larger dealers in the
state having taken alarm and de-
cided to return their stocks to the
wholesalers. The Journal adds;
Yesterday about fifty barrels ar
rived from Abilene. Geneseo, Smith
Center, Kensington, lola and other
places. None has been returned from
Topeka, LeavenwOrth or Wichita be-
cause, as local wholesaler had oc-
casion to remark, these towns have
wholesale houses of their own where
the liquors are being stored for safe
keeping. 1t is significant that OF the
drinkubles shipped back to this city.
most Of the shipments are from So
called high class joints The better
class among the Kansa- iointists are
rapidly closing out their business.
Whether this be temporary ornot only
the future will tell j. Barren, Of the
firm Of Glasner a Barren, when
questioned, admitted that the Kansas
liquor traffic is now at zero. He ad-
mitted further that large quantities of
whisky had been and were being ship

New School Hnnsn Plans.

Architect j, IL. Nave has been work
ing for some time on plans for the new
school building in the third ward, but
he did not wish to say anything about
it until he saw the outcome of the
lection. The plan calls for an eigh /
room building of brick and stone,
about the size and shape of the burned
north building. 1t is a beautiful
structure on paper and has been made
with view to safety, sanitation and
beauty. The building will cost be-
tween 5000 and Sll, 900 and if the
board accepts it there is a probability
that the north building will be rebuilt
from the same plans, Mr.. Nave esti'
mates that the two could be built and
fully equipped without borrowing but
small sum.

perhaps a small loan secured in town
enough money will be available to re-
construct the north building on about
as handsome lines as before, and to
build new third ward building on
somewhat similar plans.

ments will be 50 by ll2 feet, the front
showing full three stories. Two doors
give admission to to the entrance, and
double stairways lead to the balcony.
The seats are in semi circle on both
floors and so arranged that from each
seat one may see both the footlights

four boxes on each floor, the dressing
rooms are beneath the stage, and the

capacity will be about 900. Mr.. An
