Two High Schools Possible

1t now seems likely that political
differences OF opinion and petty per-
sOnal animositics will disrupt the
Sedgwick county high school. A ma
jOrity Of the high school committee,
actuated 1t appears almost entirely by
the above named motives, have deter
mined to force a change In the princi
palship Of tho school. Whether or not
they will be successful, and will there
by make it necessary for the county to
erect high school building, will prob
ably be determined at the next meet
ing of the high school committee
which will be held Wednesday, July 5
The Sedgwick county high school,
operated a. 1t has been for the last two
years In connection with the Juiesburg
graded schools, and under the priuci-
palship of Prof. G. V. Parker, is the
best school the county or the town has
ever had. or course it has not given
entire satisfaction to every patron Of
the school-such u thing would hardly
be within the range of human possi-
billties-but 1t is safe to say that at
least four-tifths of the patrons are sat
istied and do not desire change.
Notwithstanding this fact a majority
Of the high school committee, through
motives which we believe are quite
unworthy OF people who should have
the best interests of the school at
heart, have determined to Oust Prof
Parker and put another In his place.
Did we believe that change is de
sirAd by majority y Of the patrons OF
the school we would have nothing tc
say on the subject, But we are credit
ably Informed that such Is not tho
case and we feel inclined to protest
against ousting a man for political and
personal reasons who has raised the
school u It's present high standard
Further, We feel inclined to commend
the course taken by the local schoo
board at the meeting of the hgl
school committee last Saturday. This
board said, in effect, to the majorit, OF
the committee "if you throw Prof
Parker out we will withdraw our as
sistance from the school and you mus,
seek other quarters for the county
high school,
Asa result of this ultimatum no ac
tion was taken by the committee a
Saturdays session which was prolony
ed throughout the day.
What action will he taken at tn,

Struck BY Lightning.
Denver, Post June 22.)


Mrs. P. j. Carr, Tife of the well
known city detective, was knocked
down and almost killed by q thunder
bolt In the electric storm of last even
ing. She was holding her Smonths
old baby In her arms at the time, but
the little one felt no il! effects at all.
Mrs. Carr was dclirious for some time,
an today is suffering from d very stiff
neck and sore spine, but is considered
in no danger.
The thunderbolt was carried into
the house by the telephone wire. Ten
feet of the wire was entirely burned
up so that no vestige OF it can be
fonnd. The telephone was torn to
pieces and dozens Of holes burned In
the table cloth beside which Mrs. Carr
stood. AS she describes It today, it
looks us if someone had~been firing lire
crackers on it.
Mr.. Carr was standing in the yard
when the bolt fell and he was thrown
TO his knees and could not rise for
some time He remained on his knees,
unable to move, while he heard his
wifc screaming in the house. When
he was able to regain his feet and run
inside he found his wife delirious and
almost strangling the baby, SO tightly
was she holding it to her breast.
Miss Jennie Twomey, of Julesbure,
who is visiting at the Carr hume, was
standing in the kitchen near Mrs. Carr
but was not hurt. She was the only
graduate of the Julesburg High school
last year, being salutatorian. orator.
historian, yaledictorian-in fact the
entire class.
| The cellar was 80 full OF sulphur
fumes that neighbor, who ran to
Cars aid and thought the house was
on fire, was i'll all night from the fumes
he inhaled. The house was not set on
fire.
1t is very odd that Mrs. Carr is now
caring Tor a fine colt whose mother
was killed by lightning three weeks
ago. The dam was valued at $1,000 90
and 800 90 had just been refused for
her, VIII N she WAS instantly killed.

Kaio Chau was seized by Germany in
1897 and on March six. 1898. the town,
