harder.
That $4,000 mark, which has to be

away now. Since acknowledgement

scribers up to seventy-four and the
fund up to s12,755 The $4,000 is
now more than half raised.
There are two new announcements
in the Y. NJ. C. A campaign both
important.

eloquent and pleasing speakers in
north Nebraska, Is to give one Of his

The basement has also been I'm
ished and 1t affords two lunch rooms,
manual training room, two toilet
rooms, a fireproof vault and jan
itor's store room. The basement was
not high enough to make a gymna-
stun possible.
Exit In Case Of Fire.
Built on the site Of the recent high
school fire, the idea OF easy exit from
the new building in case of fire has
naturally been kept pretty prominent
ly in mind. There are three exits from
the building, one on the north. one on
the west and one on the south. A hall
runs through the entire length OF the
building and two flights OF stairs lead
from the second floor to the first.
Just when the new building can be
occupied for school purposes depends
Of course on the outcome OF Mr.. Lat
enser's visit and the final closing UP
Of the contract between the school
board and the contractors, the STAINS
berry Construction company, repre-
scented here by Manager Valin.
The foundation of the new building
was built from the stone used In the
old building. The stone foundation.
the iron spotted brown pressed brick,
the stone coping and the metal shin
gle roof has given a pleasing combina-
ton.
The new building stands on the old
site at Sixth street and Phillip avenue,
block east of the new Northwestern
station.
Public Opening Planned.
Before the building Is occupied some
kind of public opening or reception
will probably be held.

Cunning County Democrat: 1t was
stated in newspapers that the enroll

in the history of the association. We
would respectfully correct that state
ment made in the papers by saying
that in 1903, at the Columbus meeting
the enrolment was 544. Prof. Mason,
superintendent Of the Stanton school
at that time, now cashier Of the Mead
ow Grove State bank, was the presi-
dent of the association and it was
through his able management that
this high enrolment was secured at
the convention to hear the celebrated
talent furnished from this and other
states.

in Orphans Home in Cincinnati.
Peter Korberg has returned from
Cincinnati, without his wife or chill
dren. Mr.. Korberg is the farmer liv-
ing just south of Norfolk, on Thir.
teenth street. whose wife and chill
dren left home some time ago and
went to Cincinnati. He followed and
found the children in an orphans
home there. They refused to tell
where the mother was, but Mr.. Kor-
berg is said to have practically To-
Gated her. He did not pursue further,
deciding that it would be best to allow
Mrs. Korberg time in which to think
the matter over and return of her own
accord. That method, 1t was thought,
would be better than trying to com
pei her to return against her will.
For the time being Mr.. Korberg
will leave his children in the orphans
home at Cincinnati. The deserted
husband and father is now back at his
own farm, where he is living with his
brother.

Benton. H., Nov. THE bodies of
Patrick Daley and George Reed. two
of the buried miners in the Bond
mines, were recovered today. The
bodies were burned almost beyond
recognition, and the indications are
that the men were slowly suffocated
and then roasted. All hope has been
abandoned of rescuing Stevens and
Holmes, the other two victims of the
explosion. The whole mine is ablaze,
making rescue work very difficult.
