SCHOOL. rRORI EMS

The teachers have nCrn an
pointed To the various schools 81
the city and parish and their sal
aries have been fixed for the com
ing session. In view 81 the ueees
sites considerable cit has hecn
made in salaries. affecting the town
positions with more severity than
those OF the country wards rho
Superintendent has been busy with
the sending out Of notices and with
arranging for the proper filling ot
all positions.
The School Board has attempted
further economies hy attempting
to accommodate all town pupils il
the school buildings. Now that tn,
transfers have been dispensed with
and the children Of the several
wards viii have to seek thci,
schooling in their respective
wards. the school buildings Of this
city will hc considerably relieved
0C the ovcr-crowdcd condition
which has cNistcd for several
years. This will afford bette,
opportunity to the town children
to enron.
Anticipating this relief from past
Congested conditions the School
Board has authorized certain
changes at the High School build
ing. which will provide FOR add
ton class rooms. This has en-
ahled the board to dispense wit
the private buildings which were
rented through former years AZ
auxiliary school rooms. This will
relieve the 9Th ward OF consider
able expense.
The town schools being relieved
Of the necessity Of providing &C
COmmodatiOns for the children
from the country wards. in outside
school rooms. will also have the
effect Of cutting out a teacher OF
two.
With all these economies in sight
the board feels confident that il
will be able to maintain a fun nine
months session hereafter.

FELL THROUGH SHAFT
7. B. Townsend, Miller at Dodge City Mills,
Perhaps Fatally Injured by Fail

T. B. Townsend, the head miller
at the Dodge City Milling & Eleva
tor company's mill, fell through an
elevator shaft from the top story ol
the mill, to the basement below, last
Monday. From an examination
made later it was thought that bis
back was broken. His skull was
crushed above the top OF the nose
and he had other slighter injuries.
Mr.. Townsend started to make the
trip down in an elevator used by the
men in going from one story to anoth-
or. II is a heavy belt with steps for
standing on. He missed his footing
and dropped to the next story, where
his head was struck, leaving him I'M.
conscious. Through the lower stor
les he fell head downward.
He is still alive at the hospital, and
il is said there is a possible
chance that his life may be saved.
Mr.. Townsend came here last year
to take a position in the mill. he
was married recently here to Mrs.
Mills.

goods from Dodge City stores, which
the proprietors believe have been
stolen from them.
A pretty strong line OF circum-
stantial evidence was afterwards
gathered against Wells, and it has
been believed that be would finally
admit his guilt. A good deal Of
work has been done with him, to get
him to tell where the Baeder money
was hidden. When, how and where
lie finally did this has not been made

Next Meeting to Be Held Here On

Promised For That Occasion.

The next meeting Of the Ford
County Farmers Institute will be
held Of the Phenix club rooms ir
Dodge City on the afternoon Of May
z, beginning at 1880 o'clock.
Secretary Bodyfeld is urging all
members and others interested to at
tend.
The subjects for discussion will bs
Kafir Corn and Milo Maize, and Q
paper by DR.. Milton on Alfalfa Cul
ture. DR.. Milton has made care
ful preparation on this subject by
reading all the literature relating to
1t in any way. He has spent several
weeks in finding all the information
he wanted on this topic, besides max
ing a close study OF the subject al
first hand. DR.. Milton is an alfalfa
grower himself, and is particularly
interested in this plant. This sub
ject alone is worth all the time it will
take to attend the Institute:
The Alfalfa club is invited to at
tend this meeting and take part in
the discussion.
Mr.. G.. j. Strautn has a well pre-
pared paper on Cafir corn and Milo
Maize. He has made close study
Of these crops for several years and
is prepared to tell you something OF
interest on this subject. We believe
Milo Maize is plant that has been
over looked in this part Of Kansas.
It is believed by those who have ex.
perimented with this plant that you
can produce paying crop Of it when
Indian corn fails.
All who have had any experience
or had chance to observe this crop
growing are invited to come and take
purt in the discussion.
