School Board Meetinu,

The Butler School Board, at its
regular meeting Friday evening,
unanimously reelected Superintend'
ent c. A. Burke, and voted to In.
crease bis salary from 81. 900 to l, 2OC
peryear. The matter Of q high schoo
building was discussed pretty fully
and the consensus Of opinion Of the
members seemed TO be that while q
new building would be preferable,
that the most feasible plan would be
to use the north school building for
the High School and the east and
west buildings for the other grades.
1t was thought that Q substantial
edition would have to b made TO the
north building to meet the require.
ments Of the High School, but that
would be preferable to spending $14,-
900 or $4,000 for new buildings.
However, the board did not take
final action upon that matter. The
election OF the corps Of teachers was
also put over another meeting.

Bank Failure Echos.

The Kansas City Sunday Star con-
tanned q column write-up by a staff
correspondent OF the history Of the
failure OF the Bates National Bank
and Of its President, Capt. Tygard's
unfortunate mental condition. The
article contained only the facts as
heretofore published In The TINES,
except that 1t mentions the suits
brought by Receiver Butler in the
St. Louis circuit court on two notes,
one against the Masonic Home for
$5,22S 4S and one against the Grand
Commandery Knights Templar for
$4,000. The first OF these notes was
signed, Masonic Home OF Missouri,
by F. ]. Tygard," the latter was
signed, "F. ]. Tygard, treasurer Of
Grand Commandery." We under
stand that Capt. Tygard's deposition
was taken some time ago by alawyer
from st. Louis representing these
orders and that Capt. Tygard testl-
fed that the notes were signed to
raise money on his personal account,
and we're without warrant from eth
er order.

Oyster Bay, n. Y, July 16.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt spent the night in the
open on the sound shore at Lloyd's
Neck. With him were his sons and
three of his nephews. For years the
president has made it a practice to
spend a night either in the woods or
on the shore with his boys, and the
night picnic, as it is called, has grown
to be for them a real climax of de-
light in the summer vacation.
The night was an ideal one, the
new moon hanging in the west until
the camp fire burned low; and the air
being stirred just enough to be de-
nghtful, the evening meal was cook ed
over the camp fire, and breakfast the
same way.
