PROSPECT IS VISITED
BY A DISASTROUS FIRE

the origin of the fire, are OF the opin-
ion that the flames started from spon-
tameous combustion caused by the
heat from the wheat bins.
Tuesday noon, Mr.. j. ID. Owens,
principal stockholders in the mill,
stated that after hurried inventory
of the fire he estimates that the dam
age amounted to about $4,000 which
was largely covered by insurance. The
company's books, records and office
supplies we're all saved and as soon
as temporary storage quarters are ar
ranged the company will be ready to
go ahead doing business. An office
was opened early this morning at
Prospect. The company's books were
transferred, telephones installed and
everything was placed in order.
When questioned today as to wheth-
er the mill would be rebuilt, Mr..
Owens said, ~ cannot make any def
mite statement at this time, as |
have not consulted the other stock
holders, but there is no doubt in my
mind but what we will begin immed-
lately to construct new plant.

one Inches.

Ex-County Surveyor j. B. Tag
CART, of Delaware county, was In

survey of the Elks' property on

Joining the Grand Opera House on
the south. There has been dis
pute between the opera house own
ers and the Elks' trustees as to
the location of this line and the
survey was ordered by the trus-
tees in oruor to establish the mat
ter in their own minds.
Mr.. Taggart found that the
Grand Opera House encroaches
twenty one inches upon the prop
erty of the Elks, His survey coin
cided to the fractional part of an

WILL EMPLOY
A SPEAKER
Board of Education Dlsposes
of Vexing Question.
HIS FIGHTING HARNESS
Was Donned by Mr.. Dicker-
son on All Questions,
He Opposed the Foreign Speaker
and Took a Shot at the Public
Library.

At regular meeting Monday
evening the local Board of Educa-
ton got busy" and after much
discussion decided in favor of
employing a speaker for the COM
mencement program at the Grand
Opera house on the evening of
June 5. The members of the pres
ent graduating class, however, will
he required to appear at public
rhetoricals and class day exercises
at commencement time, in the
High Schol auditorium. Three even
ing programs will be held. togeth-
er with a class day program Of
prophesy and history, making in
all four programs at the school
auditorium and the closing pro-
gram at the Opera House.
In this way the Ill feeling, which
has characterized the commence
ment program at the Opera House
owing TO the difference Of opinion
IN regard TO scholarship, will be
eliminated 1t is largely because
OF this fact that the action was
taken by the board. Member NJ n.
Dickerson, however declared that
he had never seen nor heard OF
any i'll feeling and was radically
opposed 20 the plan OF employing
speaker for commencement "I
don't think we ought to go into
The lecture business said he.
The remainder of the board with
the exception of Clerk Hill knew
that i'll feeling existed as matter
OF fact and were derlrous OF
eliminating it. At the same time
;he board was opposed to relieving
the class entirely of commencement
raining and the programs OF es-
says and oratlons were restored.
l.uray Mouser, president OF the
class was present and gave the
board a view of the feelings and
desires of the class,
The matter OF selecting a speak
er for the commencement program
at the Opera house was left by the
board TO the commencement COM
mittee composed OF Members ia
coby, Hill and CUTLERY. Among
the speakers already considered
are Professor Edward A. OFT, s. d,
ress and Bishop Leonard.
The matter OF commencement
was practically the one thing OF
discussed by the board
and all OF them confessed that
was far from being an easy matter
TO settle in a manner acceptable
70 all parents. The board has, how
ever, hit upon a plan, which It Is
believed will meet with favor with
/ all. aside from those who are un.
willing that the board should EN-
ploy a speaker for one evening
! at a great expense, when needed
equipment Is necessary. Member
| Dickerson was still lined up with
the latter but his motions were
! lost.
The matter OF supplementary
reading in the schools was discuss
ed. The children in the Lower
grades have finished their readers
and are ready for supplementary
reading and the board was asked
10 furnish something along thi
line. The public library trustees
had spoken to Superintendent

Frank in regard to securing mat
ter from the public library for the
purpose. Member Dickson again
was in the opposition claiming
that 1t was very questionable as
to whether the matter in the lib
rary was fit for the purpose. "The
stuff they are handing out to little

err of the opposition, measuring
them by the table, eds worse than

The other members were not so
radically opposed as the members
OF the library board had stated
that much new and valuable ma
terial was being procured, which
would be of very much value as
supplementary reading. A number
Of the teachers and Superintendent
Frank will confer with the COM
nittee on text books at some time
in the near future in regard to the
matter.
Principal G. II. Winans, of the
High school, had asked the board
for supplies for the work in ply
sizes. G. w. Hays, the physics teach
or has been for some time handi-
Canped for proper apparatus. with
which TO carry on his work and
the board thought 1t unbecoming
to employ teacher and fail to
give him proper apparatus. with
which TO work. The apparatus
was approved and will be secure I
by the board at an expense of an
proximately 5000.
Some of the board members
were opposed to allowing the jan'.
tors at the various buildings 20
leave their buildings and grounds.
81 move that we give Superintend-
ent Wilson strict authority to al
low no janitor to leave his bullJ-
ing, while school Is in session on
penalty of dismissal" said Member
Dickerson. The motion, however,
tailed to carry ana the fina, meas
ure was to have all teachers notify
superintendent of Building and
Grounds Wilson of their wants and
II shall be his duty to see that
they are given what they desire.
by this means the practice of jani
tors leaving their buildings during
school hours will be speedily check
ed.
Superintendent Frank gave the
board little talk, in which he
showed the present lack OF proper
supplies in the schools. There are
practically no measures nor
weights of any kind in the schools
and the superintendent urged that
IL the board could see fit to invest
any more money it would be well
10 equip the schools with these
necessary supplies.
A new bond of Treasurer Claud
Walters was accepted in lieu OF the
former bond. The new bond holds
the names of A. c. Edmondson and
NJ. Waddell. The funds OF the
board are now in the various
banks and the interest will go
toward the funds of the board.
Bills were allowed amounting to
$3.50.
