A few weeks ago We called atten-

evident to all by the board finding it
necessary to hire outside rooms for
the accommodation of the pupils.
The fact is, thetewn is a-d has been
growing. Many people. are moving
here on account of our schools,
especially from the surrounding coun-
try, and the rooms we now have are
insufficient to accommodate the chill
dren. Right now is when the ques-
tion of a new bull ding should be
agitated, for it certainly is needed.
The two central buildin S should be
tom away, and new Building

and also school hall. This is a
question we e up against right now,
but few realize it. Investigate, and

The North and South Road.


Eugene Tilleux, the railroad pro-
moter has been in the city the past
few days, talking railroad. His chief
object seems to be to get 10 men to
give 500 each to the road and re-
ceive shares of stock in return.
There are, several things about the'
railroad which Mr.. Tilleux does not
make very clear, and when We offered
to help his proposition through the
columns of the Dispatch. he said that
he didn't see any use of everyone
knowing about it, as what he wanted
was ten good business men toe take
$1,000 worth of stock. Hoisington
and north Barton county want a north
and south railroad bad. enough, in
fact they will subscribe most liberal
ly and vote bonds for one, but what
we want is railroad whose propelling
power is not hot air, and whose track
is not laid on paper.-Hoisington

Intercepted by Admiral Togo.

Washington, Aug. 15.-According
to advices received by the navy de-
partment, another naval battle is now
proceeding off Port Arthur: a sec
ton of the Russian feet, which was
driven back in the first attempt, made
a second sortie this morning. The
vessels which had been left on guard
by Togo intercepted them, and a
battle is now on. a1tffT8
Nava experts consider the latest
Russian sortie equally gallant and
hopeless, even though. they should
overwh Elm Togo's guardships, the
Russian squadron can make nowhere
without further fighting. Admiral
Kamimuras victorious fleet
bars the way to Vladivostok, while
the Japanese vessels guard foreign
ports, moreover Vladivostok squadron
on which Russians probably rely for
aid has been beaten and driven back
and the Port Arthur fleet does not
know it.

The manner Of determining party
preferences is a matter for the
determination Of the party, and
if a majority Of the democrats
of any county want to adopt
permanently the ordinary primary
system, it should be done But such
a thing as allowing candidates for a
single office to select delegates who
are to choose various other party an
didates is not worthy Of considera-
ton for a moment. The people of
this county may not have any special
interest 10 the candidacy Of those who
are seeking the minor state Offices
this time, but some other counties
have and at some other time we may
have.
In precincts where the number of
voters is not too great and where a
d~elI5erative convention is possible,
the precinct convention plan is IN
q%uestionab y the better plan. But
in large precincts like Lexington and
South H%igginsville the argument
fails. There is no advantage in a
ballot convention over a ballot pri-
mary The ideal plan is the deliber.
alive convention with open motions,
debate and free nominations. But
ballot conventions are subject to very
much the same objections as ballot
primaries.
