Making Ready for
Reunion Time.

The following is from the Gal
era correspondent of the Joplin
News-Herald:
Having only recently recover
ed from the excitement incident
to the Eagles state convention
and the weeks carnival given by
the Redmen lodge, Galena people
are already making preparations
for the next mountaineering of the
Baxter Springs Reunion Associa-
ton. A singular thing about ii
all is that the date of
the reunion is yet three
months off. AS usual the coming
meeting is going to be the biggest
yet held and Galena well be prac-
tically depopulated during the
week. A large percentage of the
attendance from Galena will be
people who last year, the Same
as years before. solemuly declared
it would be their last visit on &C
count of the jam and rush caused
by SO many thousands of people.
According to advance reports
new attractions have been secured
for this year and there will be
plenty to entertain and amuse.
Like former years, the old sol
diers, in whose name the meeting
is held, will comprise an infinite
simally small percentage of the
attendance, but the annual meet
ing has become so excessively ad-
vertiesd that visitors will be pre-
sent from all portions of four or
five states. Many Galena people
find enjoyment In attending the
reunion, but they are people who

week in tents

and enterprising people who have
pushed the project to completion.
The material used is Dickinson
Missouri Slope red pressed brick,
back with common brick, striped,
lathed and plastered.
The basement contains boiler and
feul rooms; two large rooms which
will be used for gymnasium and
play rooms for the present, one
for boys and one for girls. Pro-
vision is also made for toilets in
basement which will possibly be
installed in another year.
On the first floor is located two
class rooms, with a capacity of 40
pupils to a room; two large cloak
rooms we'll lighted and ventilated
and neat closet in each room for
the use of the teacher.
The hall is twelve feet wide and
gives plenty of room to handle the
pupils in case Of fire. The build
ing has two entrances, one at the
front and one at the back, easy of
access from all rooms which leaves
no possible chance for crowding or
accidents in emergency cases.
The second floor is approached by
a wide stairway with an easy run
and is duplicate of the first floor
in the arrangement Of rooms, and
in addition has a nice library and
principal room. Two large rooms
can be fitted up in the attic as
occasion may demand for labor
atory, sewing room, etc.
We would call special attention
to the system of ventilation INSTALL
ed in this building, which is the
most thorough and complete in
the country except where fan
system is used. The fresh air is
carried from the outside and passed
through steam coils which warns
it thoroughly before distributing
to the different rooms. The foul
air is taken out through large
