DESTROY TEE THISfLE.
Russian and Canada Thistles Threat.
enins the Country. Commission.
/ ers Take Action.

| In another column is an official
notice of the board of county COM
missicners notifying land owners
to destroy all noxious weeds, espe-
ciallv Russian and Cana da this
ties. This is a very important
matter and without taking into
consideration the penalty attached
for not complying with the law,
every citizen owes it to himself to
use every means to rid the country
OF noxious weeds. In some parts
OF the county the Russian and
Canada thistles seem to be de-
veloping very fast and if they once
get a good hold they will be very
hard to eradicate. Aside from
these are other weeds, probably
not covered by the law, which are
dangerous to stock, and should be
destroyed. The action of the COM
missioners in taking radical steps
to destroy these weeds meets with
the appreciation of farmers and
stockmen generally and there
should be a liberal response on the
part of land owners, road overseers
and land agents. The value of one
horse or cow would amply re-
imburse one for the time spent in
destroying the weeds on the
farm. 1t should also be remem-
bered that there is little induce
ment for one man to kill these
weeds unless his neighbor does
likewise and it follows that the
highways should also be looked
after. This imposes a great duty
on township trustees and road ov-
erseers as well as on land owners.

BITTEN BY MAD DOG.

Miss Ruth Saunders of Sun City
was bitten by dog on Tuesday Of
last week. The wound was In the
back and very slight but since that
time the dog has had two convul-
sions and this frightened the friends
OF Miss Saunders, so her sister, Mrs.
Ed Hoagland, took her to Hutch
inson Saturday night to have the
mad stone applied. The stone
clung to the wound for seven hours
and now it is believed that the
victim is out Of danger.
The dog seems to be a vicious
enc and belongs to the railroad
camp, but they had not killed it
yet on Monday.

ers returned here on Monday morn

household goods and nearly all oi
their clothing by fire a few weeks

raising funds to assist them and
the neighbor women volunteered

lieve their distress. While still a
heavy loser, Mr.. Miller has muster
ed up courage again to take a new
hold and has begun to build a new
house I4x2S a story and half high,

long until he regains what he has
lost. The action of his neighbors

munity. It's nice place to live

MAN HURT IN RUNAWAY.

Uncle Dick Laury's team got
away on Main street yesterday
morning and at the postofice cor
ner one of the horses struck man
who works with the railroad gang.
He was picked up for dead but af-
ter being taken into the Gem Drug
store and medical aid summoned
he regained consciousness and in
all probability will recover. The
wagon did not run over him and to
that fact alone he owes his life.
The team proceeded up Main
street and was finally caught.
Little damage was done.
The horses started at Pinkerton' S
bIacksmithshop. This accident is
another forcible reminder that
teams should not be left united on
the streets.

THE COUNTY HIGH SCHOOL.

The 1905 legislature passed what
is known as the Barnes High School
Bill, which provides for the estab-
lishment of a county high school
in practically every county in the
state by a majority vote of the
qualified voters Of the county at
the general election in November
1906.
In order that al district may be-
come eligible. for the establishment
OF such a county high school it
must maintain a 4-years' high
school course ONE YEAR, at its own
expense, before it can take advant-
age of all the provisions of the new
bill. The high school course
adopted must be approved by the
University of Kansas so that grad
yates of the county high school
may be admitted without further
examination, to the freshman class
of the State University. A general
course shall also be. provided re-
curing four years work designed
for those who do not intend to
continue school work beyond the
high school. When the county
high school proposition shall have
been adopted it becomes the duty
of the county commissioners to
levy a tax each year Of not less
than one-fourth Of mill nor more
than three mills on the dollar of
the assessed valuation of taxable
property within such counties
for the purpose of creating gen.
eral high school fund.
Tuition shall be free in all such
high schools to pupils residing in
the county where such high schools
are located.
The two ideas in educational
advancement for common schools,
not only in Kansas but in nearly
all the states, are the consolida-
ton of country districts and the
establishment of the free county
high school.
On account of the sparsely set
tied districts, their size and the
hilly surface of a part of the
county it would seem that the free
county high school is the solution
of the educational idea in Barber
county.
The Medicine Lodge school dis
trict is ready to do its part toward
securing free county high school
by donating free of charge. the use
OF one of the best buildings in the
state and if it is finally determined
to adopt four years course and a
nine months term here, the propo-
sition will be checked up to the
voters at the November election.
If Barber county wants to take a
step forward for a broader and
more thorough education for her
boys and girls she should vote right
on this proposition. i
