County superintendent of Reno
Swings Around the Circle.


Hutchinson, Dec. 15.--County Superin-
tendent Jackson has visited every
school in Reno county already this
year.
This is a fact never accomplished SO
early in the year as this before. Be-
fore it has been necessary to take u
good share OF the school term to finish
the school visiting but Mr.. Jackson has
spent the. good weather of the fall
months in a very laudable way He
has seen every school in working or
der, but two of them, and these two
were visited while the school should
have been going on but for the fact
that new buildings were being con-
structed and the structures had not yet
been finished.
This is the third largest county in the
state, in. point of area, and the num-
Der of miles necessary to travel make
the total large. Mr.. Jackson figures
that he has driven 1872 miles this year,
a distance, which if strung out, would
reach from Hutchinson to Boston

The new champion looked to be in
excellent condition. He showed no
signs of his recent encounter, except
that his hands, which caused him so
much trouble during the battle, were
still swathed in bandages.
Fitzsinmons stated that he still had
further pugilistic aspirations, and that
he would be back into the ring just as
soon as he felt his hands strong enough
to stand the game. He SAID tnat ne
would like to meet Corbett and that ne
considered Corbett the "Old Man" and
not himself. If it were not for his
hands Fitzsinmons said that he reit

Stories Of Wolves Ferocity.

A terrible encounter with wolves
took place recently near Folksham, IL
Moldavia, Roumania, recently. A par
ty of seven peasant carol singers were
set upon close to the little station oi
Sihlea by a pack of wolves furious
with hunger. The young fellows, who
were unarmed, except for their sticks
fought with the courage of despair
and one after the other was dragged
to the ground and horribly mangled
until three alone were standing badly
mauled, but still struggling. At this
juncture a train steamed up, the pass
engers rushed to the aid of the ap
parently doomed trio. and succeeded
with shouts and sticks in driving off
the terrible beasts of prey. At no
great distance from the spot several
peasants who were sleighing to the
market with litter of pigs only es-
capped by abandoning their living
freight one by one, and only reached
their destination as the last pig was
thrown to the wolves.
