The fifty-fourth annual report Of
the superintendent of public instruc-
tion, w. T. Darlington, contains a
great deal Of very interesting matter
especially in the parts devoted to
statistics. The growth ofthe public
schools between 1858 and 1903, a
period Of fifty years, may be gathered
from the following facts: Ia 1853
one.third Of the children of school age
were enrolled in the public schools; in
1903, f~ve.sevenths. In the former
year the average daily attendance
was one. eleventh Of the enrolment.
IN the latter, one-half. Within the
period Of fifty years the number o.
male teachers employed has increased
four fold; the number OF female
teachers thirty-two fold; the amount
Of public (state) money annually ex
pended, ten fold; the gross amount
paid to teachers, twenty-five fold; Oh,
amount annually spent for buildings
sixty fold; the amount spent 70
libraries, one thousand fold. In 1856.
90 money for public.sChools was raise,
BY local taxation; in 1903, 81, 200, OO
was thus raised.

rHR RRInGR and TROLLEY Line.


The contemplated bridge aud
trolley line would make Lexington
the best railroad town in Missouri.
Instead Of FIVE trains per day as now,
the people Of Lexington would have
access to 80 trains per day-14 on the
Wabash, IL on the Santa Fe, 5 on the
Missouri Pacific and 8 on the G. g. A.
There would be 9 trains per day
directly to Chicago, besides IA by way
Of St. Louis. There would be Is trains
to Kansas City and IA to St. Louis
The part Of Lafayette county lying
along the G. s. A. railroad would be
brought into, easy access to Lex
iugtou. The River Route would be
forced to put on additional train
service.
With such improved railroad facili-
ties, Lexington would be the most
desirable dwelling place In the state
for a large class Of men whose bust
ness calls them much from home.
Thousands Of such men are forced to
live at much greater expense In
large cities, or else loss a day out Of
each week in getting home. Coco
society and educational advantages
would strongly enforce the attrac
fractions of Lexington to men Of thi,
class, And they are a desirable class
calculated to improve the mora
average OF the city.
The retail business Of Lexington
/ would be largely increased. In add
tion to the wide territory across tn
river which would be brought to gu
C doors, every part of Lafayette count
a would be brought into easy access t
! Lexington. At present a man livin
3 at Odessa, Corder, Alma, Waverly q
e Dover can transact a days bushes
n in Chicago or st. Louis with as littl
expense of time as in the county sea

citizens of many quarters of tt
e county do not visit Lexington once
three years. Many pay their tax

ness and moral considerations which
recommend this enterprise there are
hundreds of trlhing ones Of a more or
less sentimental character, and con-
nected only with the JOY Of living.
To parties Of boys and girls who
would 60 picnicing or b%otanizing, to
those who would spend half a day

weary man who would refresh his eye

the incoming aud home-going Of the
boys and girls: at present. no trains
into Kansas City make connection
either morning or evening with the
Lexington branch. 1T would promote
the enlargement, improvement and
permanence Of these institutions,
which have given to Sexington its
chief distinction in the past.
The bridge ard trolley line would
give to Lexing on %uneuualed advan'
tages as a location for snail manu-
factories. With water, coal, health
full situation and sewage we need
only rapid communication with the
outside world to bring here scores Of
small plants OF divers kinds which
sell their wares abroad and spend
their money here to the advantage Of
every business in the place. 1T would
serve to increase population, improve
property values. bring free mail de-

Great as would be the benefit to
Lexington, it would even more con
tribute to the farming community
lying round about. 1t would increase
the importance of this vicinity as a
fine stock center. Accessibility is
all that is lacking to render Lafayette
county and the vicinity Of the county
seat in particular one Of the best
adapted places 10 the West for the
fine stock man. Along the line Of
this electric road would grow up yea
by year, the industries of the dairy
man, the poultry farmer, the horti
culturist, the fne stock breeder. i
} would increase land values by givinl
a better local market, improving
church and school facilities, opening
S new coal fields and by adding to th.

%tractiveness of country life.

III. G. Warren, a Winnemucca boy,

yates with distinction from the Medi-
cal Department of the University of
California, and June 1st will enter the

Warren) received his early education
in the Winnemucca Public School, and
is now twenty-one years of age. Af-
ter finishing at the public school he
worked in the postoffice here, where
he VIII long be remembered for his
efficiency and uniform courtesy. He
saved enough in the postoffice to start
him well gon his way through college,
We are proud of his success and glad
to mention his industry as worthy of
emulation.
This is a fair example of what a
young man of energy and steadfast-
ness or purpose can accomplish. 1t is
unnecessary to add that DIR. Warren
will probably be heard from before
many years as one of the leaders of
his chosen profession. The congrat-
ulat.ons of all Winnemucca are heart
lily rendered to Mr. Warren ID his
parents.

time were surrounded by hurrying
crowdh of people pressing down from
the seats above. All in the box, how
ever, kept cool, and among those who
seemed to have the least fear were the
Presidents children themselves. The
wind blew a gale for five or six min
utes and the big show tent was filled
with dust and sawdust from the streets
and surrounding grounds. The big
POLES bucked, but stood the strain.
Many women and children became
frightened and there was a general rush
for the exits. The circus attendants
and city policemen prevented extreme
disorder and not a single mishap was
rcoor ded. After the wind subsided rain
came down in torrents and the spsc-
tslors again rushed back to tia tent
where. after a brief suspension the
show was resumed. Instead OF being
frightened. the Presidents children
seemed to enjoy the incident and he
excitement did not detract from .heir
