KinsIey High School Notes.

The members of the geology class
with the exception of four, together
with their teacher, Miss Clark. went
on a geological trip to the White
Woman creek and Point of Rocks
starting last Friday evening in car
riages loaded with comforts, cushions
and provisions. The weather was ii ne
and a more glorious sunset never was
witnessed than when the gay young
people stopped for their evening
lunch. When they had deyo their
roast chicken and cinnamap rolls they
sped upon their way. ASsnight came
on they ran into innumerable barb
wire fences from which they were three
times forced to retreat. At the sug-
gestiOn of the mistress of the situa-
-tion, Belle Painter, fences were let
down and they found themselves in a
broad expanse OF pasture lands. Ov-
er the hills they sped, and after climb
ing ard descending many rugged ones
they reached the home of Mr.. Walters
where they spent the night. At fonr
O'Clock next morning two girls could
be seen building a furnace. making n
fire. boiling coffee and frying ptNa-
toes, and just rs the sun peeped over
the hill the adventurers sat down to
breakfast. The camp work over, they
hurried to the sand banks of the White
Woman and talked of volcanic acti on,
faults and various geological condi-
lions. BY ten O'Clock they were on
their way to Point of Rocks Here
they straggled over the hills and rocks

The editor of the Mercury has re-
Gently been suffering with something
like chills, which seems to have af-
fected mis- temper and understanding
and to have caused his spleen to en-
large SO that his Judgment and COM
prehensiOn are affected, resulting in
his seeing malice and an unChristian
spirit in the simplest statements of
news and opinions In the last issue
of his paper he accuses US of having
misrepresented the action of certain
citizens and the council in regard to
the opening of Donnell alley. He then
proceeds to take the public into his
confidence and give them, what be
calls, the true history of the matter,
Incidentally ripping Donnell up the
back for what he styles trying to hold
up his fellow citizens. He says the
alley is now a fixed fact and that the
party aggrieved can take the money
awarded to him by the appraisers or
let it alone. This may all be true or
it may not. We care nothing about
that side of the matter, it will prob
ably be attended to by Mr.. Donnell.
But as to misstating facts in anyone's
interest, as the editor charges, we
wish simply to remark that he is talk
ing through his hat, as is demon
strated by his own statements. When
speaking of the effort to open the
alley we simply noted the proceedings
as they occurred. The facts have not
been gainsaid. Then we added as
opinion that the attempt to open the
alley by condemnation proceedings
seemed to be an effort to use the ma
chinery o, the city government to fix
u price on DOnnells property and
they would pay the bill. The splen-
etic editor himself proves the correct
ness of this statement when he says
that they have peid all of the expenses
and the appraised value of the prop
erty. When the council met after the
appraisemeut Mr.. Donnell was present
and refused to accept the award and
stated later that he would probably
contest the matter. The aforenamed
editor takes the ground that MIR. DON
nell's time had expired and no appeal
said that at the time we reported the
matter an appeal could be made,
which caused us to remark that ''none
of the interested parties seem to know
just where they are at" So we fail
to find any justification for the course
of the senator in jumping onto US and
AS TO the attack on Mr.. DOnneu, who
was absent from the city attend .ng the
funeral of his brothers daughter, it
was, to say the least, badly timed and
in poor taste. The true reason for
this attack probably lies in the fact
that the state paperShave been having
considerable fun with our senator
lately, cansing his internal organs to
work overtime, and, being afraid to
tackle them. he thought he would
jump on some little fellow at home.
Well, it don't hurt US, and if it ANUS
es him, let her go!

The republicans are chuckling them
selves many chuckles over the troubles
they have piled up for US in the com
ing election. Well, let them crow.
They have struck blow at popular,
free and untrammelcd elections and
may yet live long enough to reap the
fruits of their own nefarious work.
They are just one degree more de-
praved than the footpad who sneaks
mp to a man in the dusk with some
specious tale, sluys his victim and
then hides. These sO-called legisla-
tors slug their victim anG then stand
around and laugh and brag about it..

The COinmoner.
Mr.. Bryan's Paper.)

The Commoner has attained within
six months from date of the first issue
a circulation of 100, 900 copies, a rec
ord probably never equaled in the his
tory OF American periodical literature.
The unparalleled growth of this paper
demonstrates that there is room in the
newspaper field for national paper
devoted TO the discussion of political,
economic, and social problems. To
the columns of The Commoner Mr..
Bryan contr ibutes his best eff orts; and
his review of political events as they
arise from time to time cannot fail to
interest those who study public ques-
tiOns.
The Commoner's regular subscrip-
tion price is $1.00 per year. We have
arranged with Mr.. Bryan whereby we
can furnish his paper and the Graphic
together one year for $l.65. The reg
ular price of the two papers separate
ly is $500.

Art. z, Sec. I6 Kansas School Laws.

AEt. =, DEC. 10 Kansas SCHOOL Laws.
1t shall be the duty of the county
superintendents to encourage the
formation of associations of teachers.
Since beginning the duties of Office
the present superintendent has made
an effort to comply with the legal du-
ties devOlving upon him.
In doing so he has occasionally
aroused the ill-will of parties who
think more of their own selfish iuter-
ests than the good of the public.
During the normal institute the
county was divided into four districts
for local association work.
A circular letter explaining the plan
and giving notice of the first meeting
was sent to each teacher. Teachers
who found it impossible to attend the
meetings. were requested to send their
excuses to the superintendent so that
a perfect record of attendance could
be kept.
According to this plan, which is
used in many counties Of the state, q
printed slip requesting an excuse is
sent in q sealed envelope to teachers
whose excuses for absence have not
been received within reasonable
length of time after each meeting.
There is nothing in this method to
cause teachers trouble or inconveni-
ence and it is hoped that they will
promptly send in their excuses, when
absent from meetings.

propitious for the undertaking as the

was born June 7, 1854. He was a man
well known in this vicinity and was a

neral was held on Sunday at o'clock in

Michael Erickson, middle aged bach
elor, residing about Az miles east OF
town, ended his life New Years day by
hanging himself from tree in the woods
some distance from his home. He walked
away from the house at about 8 o'clock
in the morning and when he did not
come home for dinner his relatives be-
came uneasy as it was rare occurrence
for him to be absent from home at meal
/ time. His brother Lars, and brother
in-law, B. T. Oftelie, went in search of
him about 3 o'clock in the afternoon,
tracking him easily through the snow
to a piece of woods on the farm Of Ollie
Oftelie in the town Of Pleasant Springs
about quarter of mile from home.
Here they found MIN suspended from a
sloping tree, his feet being about two
feet from the ground. He had evidently
climbed up and fastened the rope around
the trunk at quite a height and from
there he let himself fall, being presum-
ably killed instantly by the shock. A
beaten path at little distance from the
tree showed that he had spent some
time in meditating upon the step he was
about to take.

Sack Olson finished drilling the water
works we'll Friday last at depth of $50
feet. A six inch pipe about six feet long
was let down the entire depth of the
we'll which showed that the shaft was
straight and regular the entire distance.
The water stands up to about IA feet of
the surface. The cylinder in the old
pump is so badly worn by having been
run on the short stroke all the time that
a new one will have to be put in, and the
village board is contemplating purchas-
ing new pump of much larger capacity.
In time when the present engine is worn
out it is probable that larger one will
be put in and used for electric lights
also.
