EDUCATIONAL COLUMN.
CONDUCTED BY
MISS MAGGIE MARTIN. COUNTY suPT

The Meade city schools closed
Friday. A very nice program was
rendered in the afternoon by the
teachers and pupils.
Prof. Long and wife left Saturday
evening for Emporia where he will
visit for a while.
A letter from Prof. Baugher
states that he will be with us again
this summer. This means a good
institute.
The recent legislature changed
the annual school meeting to the
third Thursday in June of each year.
Therefore any school board desiring
to draw money from the County
Treasury for the presentschool year,
must do so on or before the goth of
May, as the Treasurer will not issue
any money after that date.
House bill No. 374 provides that
every school district of the state
shall maintain a school for at least
five months of each year.
House bill No.I85 provides that
the annual school meeting cannot
decide whether a man or woman
shall teach their next term of school.
This matter is now left to the district
boards.
The following changes are made
in the present certificates.
! First grade. Minimum age ad-
vanced from eighteen years to nine
teen years; natural philosophy omit
ted; history of Kansas, algebra, and
literature added.
Second grade. Minimum age ad
vanced from seventeen years tc
teighteen years; algebra and history
of Kansas added.
Third grade. Minimum age ad
vanced from sixteen years to eighteer
years; history of Kansas and civi
government added.
The law provides that person
who are not less than sixteen year
Of age, and who have completes
at least two years of high schoo
work or its equivalent. and person
who now hold third-grade certifi
Gates but who are not eighteen year
of age at the time OF the enactmen
of this act, shall be entitled to tt
:. benefits of this act. The law ampl
protects all holders of certificates q

Robbed a Denial office.

Nothing causes more surprise in
Dodge City than a robbery, and it
is seldom that one occurs. There
was one on last Friday night. The
dental office of DIR. o. H. Simpson
was entered and supply of gold
and. a few instruments were taken.
While the thief could have taken
several times the amount he did, he
made pretty good haul, as the
small package he carried away had
a cash value of between $50 and
SIoo.
There are some peculiar things
connected with the robbery that
makessit hard to determine whether
or not it was the work of a profess
sional thief or not and SO far as
learned no one has any clue to the
identity of the thief.
The entrance was made by the
use of skeleton key, and a lamp
in the office had been moved, and it
is probable that the thief used a
light.
There are crooks who make. a
speciality of robbing dental offices of
gold and some of the more expen-
sive instruments used, but if such a
person committed the robbery here
it is a strange fact that he did not
get away with several hundred dol
lars worth, instead of less than a
hundred.-Dodge City Globe Re-
publican.
The Foskuhl-Herzer survey case
which has ttracted much interest in
Ford township was settled at an ad-
journed session of district court this
week.
This case came from a dispute
regarding the location of the section
line between the Foskuhl and Herzer
farms. Mr.. Herzer attempted to
build fence on what he contended
was the section line. Mr.. Foskuhl
got temporary injunction claiming
that the proposed fence would be on
his land. Sutton & Scates appeared
for Mr.. Herzer and F. J. Oyler for
Mr. Foskuhl.
In deciding the case Judge Mad
ison found for Mr.. Herzer, refusing
to make the injunction perpetual.
There will probably be plenty of
trouble in the future, and no doubt
will be other survey cases in court
from Ford township. Some of the
roads, if opened up according to the
survey decided for in the suit just
over, will cut through land now used
as farms.-Dodge City Globe Re-
publican.

posite mirror was placed the boiler which was five feet long and also ele- vated. From the boiler to the center of the mirror was a copper pipe about eight inches in diameter and probably six feet long, filled with water. The heat from the mirror centerinS on this pipe made the steam whiah passed through the boiler to the cylinders scnie distance away.
 There seems tc ba TO certain pgocf Of just what caused the explosion, as those ii charge arc sure there was rlcnty Of water in the boiler. one theory is that the copper pipe or tube gave way, not being strong enough to withstand the pressure of the steam. At any rate it gave way during the catastrophe, for it was among the parts of the machinery that were wrecked. But Dr. Chandler and the inventor of

HIGH ASSAY REPORTS.
They Frequently Misead Unwary in
 Vestors.

But little attention should be paid to a broker or company who declares but a few dollars is needed to develop a prospect and put it in condition to pay dividends. It takes money, and lots of it to make a mine or put it in shape to pay dividends. Even after the ore bodies are opened up and in such workable condition, more money is needed to build mill concentratOr plant or smelter. There is but little profit made by shipping ores to GUS tom plants, and almost every com p3ay must sooner or later begin to figure on the erection of a plant of its own to treat it's ores. Of course, while development work is in progress il is necessary to ship some ore, but on whatever is shipped there is a cer- tain loss. Therefore, don't be fooled into the purchase of stock of a concern that can be fully equipped to prodUce profits on a few hundred dollars. It takes money, and lots of it. to make productive and profitable mine.
 Probably one of the most misleading statements made nowadays is that Of extremely, or we might say, fabulous assay returns. When a broker says they have ere, and lots Of it, that gives values from S1O0 and higher he is not. as a general thing, stating the truth.
Arizona republican., 1903-11-14

Such mines gre as scarce as hens teeth.
 Gold ores running in value from S6, BIO and on up to SEQ, are the mines that are today paying the big returns. and not those that are claimed to ne producing S100 and higher values.
 Of course, it is very nice to find oc- casiOnal punches of rich ore, but near ly every pocket mine" as they are called, has kept it's owners broke look ing for the rick pocket"
 Then again, it is not every mine that has large leads of low grade gold ores that can be worked at a profit Condi- conS surrounding such property must be right. The character and makeup Of the ore must be right. So it is a very misleading statement. and one entirely foreign to legitimate min ing, tC compare them to the Home stake or the Treadwell mines. Tn these two latter mines every condition is fc- vorable. The mines are easily operated, the ores are amenable to a cheap treatment and extraction of their precious contents; power. fuel. water and nearly everything that could. be de- sired are cheap and of the required And even then it has cost millions to develop and equip them with mills and machinery.
 One hears the statement that this company has large deposits of copper ore that samples 10 to 20 per cent '' That the great Anaconda mine aver ages only 3 or 6 per cent copper" or that the Calumet averages less than 1 per cent copper" Thus it can be plainly seen that our mines are much richer than either the above and will pay much higher returns" etc. Don't be misled by such buncombe. Such persons fail to state that the Anaconda company mas expended over $1O0,OOO, 900 to accomplish it's present state of per lection, or that the Calumet has about equaled the same.
 Then again the Anaconda ore is an ideal concentrating ore. No less than from 10 to 20 tons are concentrated into one ton and then smelted. The Calumet is even better, it is said Mining WorlG.

I'm Call Loan Rates Due to the
July I Disbursements.
Meyer & Kiser's Telegram.

NEW YORK, June S0-Whatever Of
strength and aggressiveness to-day's mar
ket developed in the early dealings, and it
was a good deal, was neutralized by the
tightening of call rates after noon. The
confident tone of the early session, amply
reflected in the prices of stocks and the
upward tendency of the whole list, was
succeeded later by a general easing off, a
little more nervousness by the bullish con-
tingent and a little more temerity by the
bear crowd. Money on call advanced high
as per cent. The evident fact that it is
only temporary furry incidental to the
July disbursements was completely over
looked. There Is nothing in the situation
that can be regarded as bearish ammuni-
ton. Money conditions are healthy, stocks
are at price low enough TO tempt the most
conservative investor. and crop conditions.
If not perfect, are not bad enough to in
duce the belief that railroads will suffer
during the coming year. London is heavy
buyer in this market, and this helps to
keep exchange at point we'll removed
from gold exports. A consignment of gold
from the Klondike reached this country
to-day, and the movement will soon be in
full swing. Bullishness literally mixed
with conservatism is the best attitude to-
wards this market. The bear news is all
out. but a successful convalescence Is nee
essarily a slow one.

CROPS IN INDIANA.


w. T. Blythe. director of the Indiana Sec
ton of the climate and crop service of the
Weather Bureau in reviewing reports from
correspondents for the week ending June
20, says:
1.-THE deficiency in daily mean temperature
at Indianapolis represents approximately
the temperature conditions through bout In
diana, has averaged about degrees since
June and about degrees during the week
just ended.
"The rainfall during the past week. which
occurred on Monday and Saturday, was
generally sufficient to supply growing crops
with moisture. without materially Interior
ing with harvesting matured crops
Wheat in the south section is mostly
in shock, and threshing has begun with
yield being estimated at less than a half
crop; in the central section harvest is under
way. with prospects for a somewhat better
yield. and in the north section the crop is
still a little more promising, but less than
an average yield is expected.
Corn is generally two to three weeks be-
hind the season and making slow growth
clean and the plant maintains good color.
"As a whole, the outlook for oats has i'm
proved, but rust is prevalent i'm many fields
and fuil crop is not expected; they are
ripening and in the south section some have
been cut.
GLOVER is yielding a good 10 unusually
heavy crop and Is being saved in good con-
dition. The prospects for timothy hay are
variously reported; some meadows are very
promising, some are weedy. and many thin:
generally, only fair crop Is expected
Pasture grasses are short but plentiful.
Potatoes are doing only fairly well. and

SHARP BREAK in WHEAT
A LOSS OF NEARLY TWO CENTS In
THE SEPTEMBER OPTION.
Corn and Oats FractiOnalIy Down,
After Losing Small Gains-HOg
Products Weak All Day.

CHICAGO, June 9o-Favorable weather
caused weakness in the wheat pit to-day,
September closing 17sc lower. Corn was
lsc lower, oats off 1sc and provisions from
12lzQ15c to 371Rc lower.
Wheat ruled active with a large amount
of liquidation going on throughout the
session. Opening prices were weak on
bearish news, reports from the Northwest
being to the effect that rains had fallen
over a large part of the spring wheat belt
thus dispelling all fears of a drought. A
special Kansas crop report estimated this
years yield at about 10000, 600 bushels-the
largest on record-and under these in
fiuences September was down 5s4%c to
bq1c, at the start, at INC to TIC. The
strength in corn helped the market for a
time and with firm cables September adj
vanced to 77Ac, but with outside markets
showing material losses and on an absence
of support prices again slumped, Septem-
Der declining to 76Ac and closing at 76AQ
76asc, net loss of 1Hc. Clearances Of
wheat and -four were equal to 179.900 bu.
Primary receipts were $4,000 bu, against
sos, 100 year ago. Minneapolis and Duluth
local receipts of Al cars-two of contract
grade-made a total Of 296 cars, against
369 last week and 3S2 a year ago.
Corn surprisingly strong in the face
of the weakness in wheat, higher cables
and the good cash demand being largely re-
sponsible for the better feeling. There was
considerable liquidation as a result OF
favorable weather conditions, but offerings
were readily absorbed by commission
houses. The weakness in wheat was late
factor and much of the gain was lost,
September closing &c lower at 50Ac, after
selling between 5o1c and 5lAc Receipts
were $50 cars. II grading contract.
There was only a moderate trade In oats,
but prices were firm the greater part Of
the day, due to a good commission hose
demand. The break In wheat toward noon
resulted in reaction and the close was
about steady, with September 1sc lower at
34c after selling between $3.50 and 343ac.
Receipts were 31S cars.
Liquidation by local longs caused weak
ness in provisions, and much of yester-
days advance was lost. Late buying by
brokers caused steadier tone, but prices
showed little recovery. September pork
closed 371ac lower at $l6.6 lard OF l5c at
$3.50 and ribs down 12h915c at $S.65QS.6Ila.
Estimated receipts for tomorrow: Wheat.
