There is a COW" says Prof. L.
II. Bailey in Country Life in
america, which is now eleven
years old. Last year her record
was 17,400 pounds OF milk, with a
maximum daily yield Of seventy
seven and tnree-quarrters pounds.
This year she has given as high
as ninety three pounds day, and
she will probably exceed her form
er record. In other words, here
is COW that every month pro-
duces her own weight in milk.
She is a most efficient milk pro-
ducing machine" This beats the
record of q COW we heard G friend

Inc announcement is made tha
capitalists Of Havana have organ
lied steamship line to ply be-
tween that city and the ports of
Mobile, New Orleans and Calves
ton, in competition with the Mum
sonand Morgan lines. It is said
however that there is more under
the surface than appears on top
and that American capital forms a
large part OF the backing of the
new line. For some months past,
advance contract for shipments to
the United States have shown a
decline and it IS said that the rea-
son is the new Havana line which
had been quietly at work in the
capital and in the interior closing
contracts Tor large shipments for
this fall and winter. 1t is claimed
that the two American lines have
met with considerable under
ground opposition in New York
and in Cuba and the announcement
of the new enterprise develops the
reason therefor. 1t is intimated
that the American Sugar Refinery,
commonly known as the ssSugar
Trust" has hand in the deal.

celebrated the twenty fifth anniver-
sary of the marriage Of their par

weather, and the thermometer run

friends and neighbors to the num-

upon them without enlightening

jolly good time. Those that were in
attendance brought fine large bas-
kets of the best of eatables, Of
which the guests partook of in an
appetizing way. An elaborate
banquet and much sociability,
along with music furnished during
the day and evening by Miss Lizzie
Behan of Ryan and Mr.. Fred Hill
of Hazel Green, made it very
pleasurable for all concerned, one
that will be long remembered by
Mr.. and Mrs. Sullivan.

Basket Ball at independence.

Last Friday evening the Man.
chester high school boys and girls
played the Independence high
school boys and girls at Indepen-
dence.
The boys game was very exciting
and interesting and all from here
who attended were we'll pleased
with the game. Glenn Chapman
made four field baskets and the
other boys all played well, which
made something doing all the time.
In the first half Manchester made Z
points and Independence 13 and in
the second half our boys gained
two points and Independence lost
one over the first half making a
score of 25 to lG in favor of hide
pendence.
The girls played between and
their score was Ia to l in favor of
Independence.
They were to play the return
game at this place next Friday
night, but the failing to secure the
opera house for that night the game
was postponed until some time dur
ing the next week. This will no
doubt be very good game and all
interested in athletics can not af-
ford TO miss it.

A solemn Dance.

They have singular kind Of dance
conducted OH the greens of country vii
lagos in Russia. The dancers stand
apart, knot of young men here, a
knot OF maidens there, each sex by 1t.
self and silent as crowd Of mutes. A
piper breaks into tune; y-suth pulls
of his cap and challenges his s..' with
a wave and bow. If the girl is willing,
she waves her handkerchief in token Of
assent. The youth advances, takes a
corner of the handkerchief in his hand
and leads his lassie round and round.
No word is spoken and no laugh is
heard. Stiff with cords and rich with
braids. the girl moves heavily by her
self, going round and round and never
allowing her partner to touch her hand.
The pipe goes droning on for hours in
the same sud key and measure, and
the prize Of merit in this "circling," as
the dance is called, is given by specta'
tors to the lassie who in all that sum
mer revelry has never spoken and new
er smiled,

Death of George c. sellens.

Word. has been received in this
city, of the death of George G. Sci
lens formerly of this vicinity who,
with his wife and daughter, moved
to Sebeka, Minnesota, about a year
ago, and who died at the above
named place February 10th, after an
illness of a very short duration hav-
ing been confined to his bed
one week.
The daughter Miss Florence is
engaged in teaching the home
school where they reside. They had
bought themselves farm and had
the material on the ground
to build new house, but l am not
prepared to say what Mrs. Sellens
will do under the circumstances.
Mrs. Sellen's maiden name was
Laura Packer, and she is sister
Of Mrs. Della Chaplin of the west
side. George Sellens, was good
man, a member of the Baptistchurch
and his sudden death is the cause
OF deep regret in this vicinity where
he was so well and favorable known.
He has brother, Will Sellens, liv-
ing in North Manchester who is
engaged in gardening. Our SYM
pathles are with Mrs. Sellens and
Miss Florence whom we hope may
feel that their loved one has passed

School Election,

At the school election which is to
occur next Monday the question of
voting bonds for the purpose of i'm
proving the central school building
and putting additions thereto will
come before the people.
All who are familiar with the
facts in the case will realize the
urgent necessity for such action.
The schools are and have been for
some time overcrowded. frequently
within the past few years there has
not been seating capacity in the
high school building for all the
pupils.
Large classes are being held in
recitation rooms that were built for
half tho number and where black
board facilities are inadequate.

High School are given full credit by

tlle colleSes ana universities tor al
work done here except in science
The work in the science depart,
ment has not been up to the stan.
dard owing to lack of laboratory
facilities. The High School is well
equipped with apparatus, but in .he
present crowded condition there is
no room available for the students
to perform their experiments. AS
soon as an extra room can be pro.
vided the work in the science de-
partment can be brought up.
The system of ventilation in the
high school building is an excellent
one but it was designed to furnish
fresh air for much smaller num-
Der of pupils.
Many of the patrons have felt for
a long time that the third story in
the central building should not be
used Some object to growing
girls climbing SO many flights of
stairs several times day. Many
are afraid of fire and think that It
would be impossible in case of fire,
to get the pupils out safely.
The school board proposes to put
two rooms on each side of the CEN
trail building, making room for the
seventh and eighth grades and for
the fifthland sixth which now oc-
cupy the third story. The old
building has been gone over care
fully. The building is in good
condition except that it needs a
new heating and ventilating plant.
1t is proposed to widen the stair
ways, SO that the pupils may be
gotten out quickly in case of fire.
While it is proposed to issue
bonds for $1,000 the Indebtedness
to be incurred is only $1,000. The
apparent discrepancy is explained
as follows. There is a balance of
$4,000 in the teachers fund. This
is $4,000 more than is necessary
for the current demands upon that
fund. This fund has been accumu-
lated from unexpected additions
during past years. Under the law
the board has no right to transfer
the money from the teachers fund
to the school house fund. 1t is pro-
posed to reduce the levy for the
teachers fund $1,000 each year for
four years. There will thus be no in
crease of the tax for the next four
years, after which the remaining
amount will be raised at the rate Of
$1,000 per year. This will mean
after the first four years about 4(
cents additional for every $40 o.
taxes man pays.
The members of the school board
who will have charge of the expen'
diture of their funds will see to il
that this money is expended wisely
and economically. They are heavy
tax payers themselves and are in
terested in getting value received
The crowded condition might bt
believed somewhat by keeping Out
tuition pupils but as the district re
ceives from $500 to 500 per yea
for buttons it does not seem wise t.
cut off this source of revenue.
The people of Manchester ar
Justly proud of their schools. W.
believe that they will vote in fayo
of this tax which will tend to tn
advancement of the school facilitie
of the city.
