attorneys appearing in the case are
required to be in the district court FOL
few days. Rather slow progress has

holding the rule over the attorneys as
lrigidly as possible to cut short any un
essential testimony and ii was against
his wishes that he found it necessary
ito grant continuance. The plaintiffs
have about completed their evidence

Mr.. Deck were recalled for further
examination this morning and all
books and papers belonging to the dis

board of directors of District No. 10,
who is one of the residents of the dis
tr:ct complaining of the present condi.
ton, being unable to change the con-
ditiOn of affairs through his official
capacity as director because of their be-
ing majority against him on the
beard who sympathizes with the Cen

-nony was based upon the three pro-
positions, the condition of the old
old school house on the Fremont road,
which was abandoned three years ago,
the Suitableness of the two basement
rooms in the University now being
used for public school purposes, and
the fact as to whether or not the plan
o. holding school on Saturday instead
o. Monday, as practiced in District No.
1G, is the most convenient for the
patrons of the school and in conform.
ity with the universal custom observed
in public schools.
Mr. Gilchrist, who signed the attida-
Wit setting forth the alleged unsuitable
condition of the University basement
rooms, stated on the witness stand
that he did not know anything about
the condition of the rooms as to size,
heating facilities and ventilation I'M
till last Saturday, Oct %, when he
went to them for the purpose of max
ing an examination and taking meas
urements. All three witnesses were
very positive in their statements that
the rooms now in use are not the
most convenient for public school
purposes and that the old school house
Il in fairly good repair and suitable
for use. Mr.. Deck is the only one
o. the three who has children of school
age. He has one boy who has been
attending the school during practical
~ all of the past three years.

time is the only painting time. But
the fall of the year offers several adj

most important is that surfaces are

frost or inner moisture to work out
after the paint is applied.

The Root of Altruism.

The three eternal roots of altruistic
energy are these: First, the principle
of justice; that there is a moral law
before which all men are equal, so
that 1 ought to help my neighbor to
his rights. Second, the principle of
charity; that I owe infinite tenderness
to any shape or kind of man, however
unworthy or useless to the state.
Third, the principle of free will; that
I can really decide to help my neigh
Dor, and am truly disgraced if 1 do not
do so. To this may be added the
idea of definite judgment; that is,
that the action will at some time ter
ribly matter to the helper and the
helped.-G. K. CheStertOn.

Disease Cured by cuticura.

my six year old daughter had the
dreadful disease called hives for two
months. She became affected by play
ing with children who had it. By
scratching she caused large sores
which were irritating. Her body was
complete sore but it was worse on
her arms and back. We employed a
physician who left medicine but it did
not help her and 1 tried several RENE
dies but without avail. Seeing the
Cuticura Remedies advertised, 1
thought would try them. 1 gave her
a hot bath daily with Cuticura Soap
and anointed her body with Cuticura
Ointment. The first treatment re-
heved the itching and in a short time
the disease disappeared. Mrs. George

H. T. Marion of the archaeological
department of the University of Kan
sas, has returned from summer
spent in western Kansas and has
brought with him many specimens of
a marine life which fourished there
when the entire region was the bed
of an immense inland sea. Mr.. Martin
brought back with him some 25 boxes
of bones, including 70 specimens
which weighed 1000 pounds. The
finds include some exceedingly valua-
BILE specimens from a scientific stand
point, and will make the University
of Kansas museum far superior to
any other in it's collections of remains
of the animal life of the Cretaceous
geologic period.
