NO SCHOOL TODAY
Fumigation Will be Made Com
plete by Expert.
Birds, Rodents and Bugs Alike Killed
BY Deadly Fumes.

There was no school held today at
the High school building on account
of the fumigAtion being conducted at
that building to kill the parasites
which have caused so much trouble
there for several weeks.
Saturday Mr.. Tom Thompson, and
expert fumigator, began work and all
day yesterday had sulphur and char
coal burning in the rooms. This
morning only one bug was seen but
the authorities are not satisfied and
will continue the fumigation through
the day.
Mr.. Thompson says the bugs are
ordinary bird parasites found princi-
pally on pigeons, and that they will
not remain on human being longer
than few minutes. They seek feath-
ers to live in and he thinks the pigeons
are responsible for the presence of the
bugs in the building. The pigeons stay
in the attic of the building in large
numbers.
One pigeon was killed by the strong
fumes yesterday and several mice and
insects were found dead on the second
floor of the building. 1t Ia thought
that today will be sufficient to kill all
the bugs and tomorrow school will be
held again, us usual.
