A SPECIAL SCHOOL MEETING.

The school board of this district
have called special school meet
ing for next Tuesday, Sept. 10TH,
for the purpose of voting on a prop
osition to maintain six months
term of school in the old No. 81
district, otherwise known as the
Richardson district west of the
city. This is one of the districts
abolished by the legislature. The
patrons want a school but there
isn't sufficient school population to
reorganize the district, The school
board therefore have decided to
employ a teacher for them provided
the voters Of the district authorize
them to. This will be cheaper
than transporting the children to
and from school and more satisfac-
tory to the patrons in the old dis
trict. WI. Daniels, one of the cit
liens of the old district, has volun
teered to repair the school house
and haul the fuel free of charge.
This would seem very good So
luton of the matter and there is no
doubt that the voters of the district
will adopt it. If they do, the last
breach growing out of the enlarge
ment of this school district will be
mended.

calling attention to its increased
business. The statement which
was published in the Index last
week, shows that its business has
doubled since February. H. Hob
bic, the hustling cashier, is a per-
sistent advertiser and a cordial
business man, two very essential
elements in establishing a new
business in community.
We notice with satisfaction that
all the banks in the county have

belief that they would find it a
paying proposition to follow the
pace set by the Sharon bank and

NO. II
Wanted.

The fast growing Anthony Com
mercial College of Anthony, Kan,
announces to the public that they
will receive 100 more young men
and 100 more young ladies in the
college this year without paying
any tuition until they graduate.
They wiki then be placed in lucra-
tive positions and allowed to pay
the College a small amount each
month until the tuition is paid.
The Anthony Commercial Col
loge has a fine reputation for thor
oughness in all its branches and it
cannot supply the demand on them
for their graduates in shorthand
and bookkeeping. This certainly
IS a liberal proposition and we
would advise those who are inter
ested to write to the college for
particulars. The Index can recon-
mend the Anthony Commercial
College. 1t is incorporated for 90
years and has behind it every prom
inent business house in the city
and the two banks.

than any of them. Mr.. Weber has
heard him three times and consid-
ers him one of the most beneficial
and inspiring men on the platform.
We are glad to have him in Tanu-
uary.
The Whitney Bros. Male Quartet
will come in early March. Ever
since the Wesleyans have disband-
ed, this company has carried the
banner for excellence. The men
are brothers and have sung with
each other for years. Seldom is
there combination of four male
voices in one family that blend so
perfectly with each as to have
great quartet. 1t doer not occur
in one family out of thousand.
Not only is their music great but
one of the gentlemen is very fine
reader. The company will please
greatly.
The last number will be Frank
Dixon, a brother to Thomas Dixon
who was here three years ago.
Frank Dixon, though of different
temperament from Thomas, has by
many people been considered his
superior. His lecture, "The Man
against the Mass" in this age of
great socialistic agitation is most
timely. His is a complete answer r
to Eugene Debbs' philosophy. To
hear him will be a rare treat to all
and especially to the student of
economics.
This is one of the best courses in
southwestern Kansas and no doubt
will please better than any ever
given in our city. The season tick
cts will only be $3.50 with reserve
seats 10 cents extra for each night
or S 500 for a season ticket with
reserved seats selected for the en-
tire course on or before first num-
Der. Solicitors will be around this
week to see each person in the city
and many country people will be
visited. There ought to be two
hundred season tickets sold. Let
everyone rally to the support of
the course. So:

G. A. Poppleton and S. D. Bat
son entertained the street crowd
early Thursday morning. The en-
tertainment consisted in little bus
mess difficulty. Mr.IPoppleton re-
sides at Gallagher in Comanche
county, west of Sun City. He is
mail route contractor for star
routes running west and southwest
of this city and Mr.. Batson has
been in his employment on the
Deerhead-Eagle southwest route.
The two could not agree on the
manner of paying for some horses
which Batson purchased of Popple-
ton and the latter concluded to re-
claim one of the equines. For a
while Poppleton held the horse
Batson was driving but later City
Marshal Stockstill appeared. After
receiving legal advice, the marshal
concluded the trouble was not
within his jurisdiction and with
drew. Finally Mr.. Poppleton took
charge of the mail himself tempor-
arily. A few days later the par
ties got together and settled their
difficulties and Mr.. Batson contin-
ues on his regular beat. Deputy
Postmaster c. E. Thompson rose
to the Rooseveltian emergency and
got the belligerents together.

The county commissioners met
and canvassed the vote of Medicine
Lodge and Elm Mills townships, on
the Great Bend & Gulf bond prop
osition, last Friday. The matter
of ordering subscription for the
amount of capital stock authoriz-
ed by the voters, was taken under
advisement until yesterday, as the
board desired to arm themselves
with an abundance of legal advice.
The law provides that after aid is
voted the municipality SO voting,
is entitled to as much of the capi-
tai stock of the railway company as
authorized by the voters, and after
the road is in actual operation the
municipality shall pay for the stock
by delivering bonds to the COM
pany in an amount equal to the
face of the capital stock subscribed
for and received. If the commits
sioners should refuse to order tue
county clerk to make the subscrip-
tions on behalf of the townships,
no bonds could be delivered, as the
law now provides that no bonds
can be issued to any railroad COM
pany before the company first de-
livers an equivalent amount of
stock to the county or township Is
suing the bonds. The board or
dered the subscriptions at their.
meeting yesterday.

leader, was buried about 1,500 years

river Busento in southern Italy. They

channel and, after burying their chief

again. His grave was dug by prison.

death, so that the Romans might new

Attila, king of the Huns. was buried
A. D., 453 on a wide plain in three cof-
fns--one of gold, one of silver and the
third of iron. In his case, too, all the
prisoners who were compelled to dig
his grave were Immediately killed.
Another secret burial in later history
was that of Fernando de Soto, the dis
coverer of the Mississippi, whose cof-

die of the broad stream to conceal his
death from the natives, who had been
told that he was an immortal child of
the sun.

CONCERNING DREAMS.
Often Indicate a Serious IIlness-The
Blind See in Dreams.


Harvey, who discovered the circula-
tion of the blood, is said to have re-
| corded a dream in which a bumblebee
stung him in his left thigh, on a place
where a couple of days later appeared
an ugly u.cer. Malesherbe, the re-
nowned French author, found himself
in a dream attacked by a rowdy, who
stabbed him in his left breast with a
dagger in an area where the following
evening he felt the first attack Of Sc
we're pneumonia. The archives of
medical reports" says DR.. AXel Emil
Gibson. ARE heavy with cases of
similar character, which have either
received no explanation at all or else
have been explained away entirely"
DR.. Gibson calls attention to the fact
that dreams depend on some other
media than those known as the five
senses. A conclusive evidence in favor
of this view is found in the circum-
stances that even the blind are able to
see in dreams, as witness experiences
recorded by Helen Keller, Blind Tom"
the poet Milton and others; hence the
conclusion seems TO be unavoidable that
it is only as far as physical vision is
concerned that the optic nerve guides
and limits the field of vision.
This same author arrives at the de-
duction that dreaming and waking diff
fer in degree and form of manifesto
ton only. not in principle and essence.
Like waking consciousness" he AYERS,
the dream reveals. but does not create.
The same world that surrounds the
waking individual surrounds the
dreaming, only the viewpoints and me-
dia of observation are changed.
