WARMER WEATHER STILL.
Todd Says There Is No Change in
Siqht for a Week

Forecast FOR Wichita and vicinity-Fair
send warmer; for Kansas-Generally fair.
Warmer weather is predicted for today
end no change is in sight for this week.
After a diHgent search for rain clouds
Observer Todd was forced to admit that
the outlook for either rain, snow or other
moisture was far from good, although it
is badly needed. The extreme warm
weather of the present will no doubt be
very damaging. as it has tendency to
bring out the buds on all fruit trees ana
other growth. and when the frosts Of
March come. as they are almost sure to
do. the blight j. most severe.
Clear weather is general over the west
ern gulf states and the southwest, but
elsewhere cloudy or partly cloudy
weather prevailed. Rain was falling this
morning at Portland and snow at Miles
City The precipitation in the past q
hours has been unimportant except over
Oregon and southern Montana. The pres
sure is lowest over the Pacific northwest
and high over the Ohio valley, northerl4
Montana and the middle Pacific Stops.
The temperature changes have been IN
important except decided rise over
western Kansas and South Dakota and n
decided decline over portions of Mon
tana. Missouri Arkansas and the. Ohio
valley. The temperature at the morning
observation ranged from "a degrees below
zero AT QuAppelle. to &c degrees above
along the western gulf coast.
The maximum temperature yesterday
was y degrees: the minimum, Sc degrees.

WICHITA is SHORT
SCHOOL TEACHERS
There Are No Names On the
Substitute List.
@ NE GRADE Is VACANT
First Severe Shortage in the
History of City.

For the first time in the history of
Wichita there is a famine OF teachers in
the public schools. There is at present
one vacancy in the regular list and there
are no substitutes to fill the place. Should
three or four of the regular teachers be
come suddenly i'll or be compelled to quit
for any reason, there is possibility that
their grades might have to be closed for
want of an instructress.
DR.. Hornor, member of the board Of
education, said last night, when ques-
toned concerning the shortage of teach
ers ia the public schools:
Yes. we lack one teacher TO complete
the regular list, and as there are no sub
stitutes We are compelled to use the nor
NAL girls to do the work; in fact, there
is normal girl filling the present va
cancy in the regular list. Although these
girls do work that is entirely satisfac-
tory, it would be best 10 have all vancan-
cies filed by regular teachers.
There was one death and two resiSna-
tions among this years teachers and as
there was no substitute list this year. we
are short one. This is the first time in
several years past that there has been
no substitutes. As usual thing. this list
is a long one, but for some reason was
exhausted in the early part of the year
Whenever there is sickness in the list OF
regular teachers. it necessitates the call
ing on one of the normal girls TO fill the
vacancy"

bic upon and with gambling devices own
ed and run by the defendant until the

$500 from the said ]. G.. Welsh. That
all the money taken was the property of

RALPH Balm HAS RECOVERED
PATIENT WAS ABLE TO LEAVE
THE HOSPITAL YESTERDAY.
Defendants Bond of $50 Is Declared
Forfeited-He Failed to Appear
in Court.

Ralph Balm, who was arrested some time
ago and placed in the city jail. charged
with five offenses but who was later re-
leased On bail in the sum of 500 that he
might be taken to the St. Francis hospital
to receive treatment for a severe attack
or erysipelas, has recovered. Yesterday
morning he was discharged from that in
stitutiOn a cured man.
When the hospital was called last even
ing from the Eagle office by telephone
and inquiry made as to Mr. Bains con-
dition, the attendant responded that Mr..
Balm had left that institution yesterday
morning. He has been considerably
better for the past several days and yes
terday he was we'll enough to go from
under the care of nurse and physician"
Further inquiry as TO where Mr. Balm
had gone on leaving the hospital could
not be answered The attendant did not
know where Mr.. Balm had gone
When Balm did not put in his appear
ance at police court Monday evening, the
police judge declared his bond of $50 for
feited. Il received reports as to Bains
condition every day during his Illness"
said Judge Stanley last night, and was
sure that he was able to appear in court
providing he desired to do so Il notified
Balm of my intention to call his case. AS
he did not appear, 1 declared the bond
forfeited. So far as this court is con-
cerned. we are through with the Balm
case. unless charge Of assault is brought
by his wife. L think the latter is
hardly probable, however, for Mrs. Balm
appeared at the police headquarters be-
fore the bond was forfeited and endeav-
ored to have that amount reduced"

.}10ADay With Ro(ku
Discoverers Come to Valdez And Will Return With Large
 Outfit.

Warren Merritt and w. Gordon Campbell arrived here last evening over the trail direct from White river. They report rich strike on Little Gold creek, which is tributary of Ladue, the latter be- ing tributary Of White river. The two men left here last spring and hauled their outfits over the snow to Panama, and thence to the White river, where they remained until the snow disappeared when they began prospecting. In going from creek 10 creek the search led them up ladue. The place looked promising and they gave it very careful attention though forced to hurry as their grub supply was get. ting very low. They even persisted in prospecting for many days after their supply was exhausted, and were forced to live on rabitts and roots.
 When near the head of Ladue creek they came upon small gulch which they named Little Gold, and there they struck it. In banning they found gold all through the gravel in quantities sufficient to give from one and half to two ounces day with rocker. Very little work other than stalking was attempted. When they made good their locations they struck out for Valdez, and are now waiting for . steamer. They will go to Seattle and secure large onthts and return with horses as early as possible.
 Warren Merritt is an old-timer in Alaska. Ho came here with the push in '9S, and after prospecting from the head of Klutina rapids all that season, he struck out for the Yukon in '99, and continued on to Nome, which place he reached in time to get some .of the good ground. He has been of and on through Alaska ever since.

Stage Line To Fairbanks
Capt. Geiger Will Establish Line From Here. Tram Over
 Summit.

Plans are now being perfected by Capt. Geiger to establish a stage line, or sled route, from Valdez to Fairbanks. The distance will be less than 400 miles, and the only troublesome feature will be the crossing of the summit at Thomp- son pass. To overcome the diff cnlty at that point. the Captain proposes to put in a steam hoist or tramway, with stationary engine located in the valley, and cars large enough to take up teams, freight and passengers.
 Relay stations will be placed at points along the route about twelve miles apart. The route intendad will be practically that.adepted by the mail carriers last winter when they made the trip in less than 16 days.

 FUNDS (oundIaRdboaTdAge
On Necessity of Good Schools At Any Cost. Council Pro-
 ceedings.

There was a. full meeting of the council Monday evening, and the school board was also present. The matter of providing funds for con- ducting the schools was discussed at length. No definite plan was decided upon, but the members were unanimous in the opinion that the present standing of the school should be maintained at any cost, and a committee of the coun- cil and school board was appointed 10 makeestimates of the possible income for the ensuing year, and provide a method of furnishing sufficient funds for the maintenance of the school.
 Of the 70 pupils enrolled in our school p are from the reservation and a tax will probably be levied upon the residents of that section for school purposes, in addition to the license money.
 There was some difference of opinion as to the powers of the council and school board, but the utmost harmony exists between the two bodies and there will be no friction in the adjustment of school affairs.
 A contract was let to Charles Friend for deepening the fire wells ;o uniform depth of 16 feet. This action was deemed most essential owing to the fact that the wells are nearly dry each year for a few weeks, and are not deep enough at any time to use the fire engine without sucking sand and gravel through the pipes, which would soon destroy the valves of the en- zine.
 Theisena of J. Y. Ostrander, the new treasurer, was approved, and the books and funds will be turned over to him during the week.
 A committee was appointed to try and prevail on the men in charge of the Roanoke excursion to make enough of stop at Valdez to see some of the sights and get proper idea of the town.
