Recently asparty was locked up in
the city Jail for Igetting drunk and
being altogether hilarious. The next

wandered around to police head

A Little Talk About The Weather.

WANTED. The exact period of
cold Monday night. One man says
at seven this morning it was three
above. Another vows it was eight.
Still another asserts both are il. error,
that ten was the lowest point reached.
Thermometers seem to be as far
apartias the citizens are on the school
election. Perhaps the freezing ques-
ton may never be settled. If you
have an estimate send it in. Well
lump 'em all up together and split the
difference. Nobody will deny that it
is very chilly, however. But Barton
county is wells prepared for the ex-
tremest weather. Ali the farmers
have big sheds and barns for the &C
comodation of stock. All the coal
dealers have plenty of coal to sell and
all the people have plenty of money
to buy the coal. q Let the wind blow
and the snow fly, let billiards roar
and thermometers bust in a thousand
pieces, we're fixed. We've got the
best farms, the finest residences, the
biggest bank-accounts and the hand
soonest women on earth. And Kan
sas weather is responsible.

I do not wisbto say one word te
the disparagmeut of single member
of the school board, they are all men
for whom I have the highest regards,
but there are a great many other men
in this city, who the equal OF any
member of the board IN point OF
business intelligence, and may add,
that since this question arose, they
have given the subject of our city
schools much thought, and / believe
are just as capable of and do under
stand the situation and needs OF the
district, as we'll as any member OF the
board. These men do not favor the
present proposition of voting $50.o0V
of bonds; they do not endorse the pro-
posed destruction of the present brick
building; they do not favor the
erection of City High School ouiid-
ing until after we see what action the
incoming legislature takes with re-
ference to county high schools. In
other words, it is the opinion OF
very large per centage of the tax
payers of the city, that for the i'm
mediate present we should bull dtwo
more rooms TO each of the two ward
buildings, and thereby provide for
he present congested condition of the
central school, and in the event that
we are enabled to establi. b county
high school by the Legislature, to use
the present central building as
ward school, or build an additional
ward building at some suitable place
in the city. Any of these propositions
can be carried out and ample school
facilities can be afforded, at a COM
parative small cost, and the needs of
the school be met at the same time,
and in so doing, we will not be
destroying the property of the district
or mourning large ard needless in
debtedness.
The proposition of establishing a
county high school in this county viii
come up in the next legislature, what
ever the action of the body may be
with relation to the passage of a new
or the amendment to the old law, and
it seems to me that the voters ought
not to vote so large an Indebtedness
on the people until we see that it is
the only recourse we have. There is
plenty of time for this matter to be
taken care of. after the coming
session of the legislature is ended,
there is no necessity for rushing This
bond proposition through regardless
of the consequence. This is purely
business proposition which addresses
itself to the business sense }of the
people, there is no question Of friend
ship or unfriendliness toward the
present board of education involved,
the members as a whole and as indis
viduals, stand high in the community,
and I hold them sevefally in as high
esteem as any man or set of men In
the. country, but am compelled by
my sense of the fitness of things, to
oppose the proposed bond issue
Again ask, that before you make
up your mind to vote for the $50, 900
bond proposition, go and take look.
at the brick building, upon which the
board of education has inst expended
about six hundred dollars for repairs
and then, after seeing it,, if you are in
favor of destroying it, and opposed to
the foregoing suggestions, vote for
the bonds, otherwise, vote against the
proposition.
Respectfully,
d. A, BANTA.
