BOARD OF CITY SCHOOL TRUS-
TEES MET LAST EVENING-A
RESIGNATION AND A TEACHER
ELECTED.

The city school board of trustees
met at the Central School building
last night, in response to a call by
President W. NJ Hamilton Present:
Trustees Hamilton, Sterne, Wilson,
Strickland
The resignation of Miss Kate Full
linwider, teacher of English in the
High School, was read, and with re-
greet accepted. Miss Fullinwider ex.
planned that sickness had weakened
her eyes, and she had been advised to
rest from her work for awhile. Miss
Fullinwider is one of, the city's best
instructors, and her place will be a
hard one to fill. She has consented
to continue her labors for a month,
if necessary, in order to permit the
employment of another to take her
place.
A communication was presented
from Miss Fannie May Mcleod, ex
planning that she was out of the city
when examinations were made, and
therefore failed to secure her certifi-
cate. The place was declared va
cant. Several applications for teach
ers were read, and Mr. Strickland,
chairman of the nominating commit
tee nominated Miss Ida Stevens. She
was duly elected.
The committee on school property,
through Trustee Wilson, introduced
Architect Brook, who presented esti-
mates on additional rooms, needed
repairs, ETC., amounting to approx
mately 100000. This estimate in
cludes a four-room addition at the
Central building, and two-room ad-
dition at the Second Ward building,
besides heating plants, sanitary i'm
provements, etc Mr. Brook was in
to get up a detailed report
on improvements and repairs needed,
and same will be presented to the
city commissioners by the board, with
a petition asking for bond election
to cover the expense.
The improvements are necessary
for the proper conduct of the schools,
to relieve the crowded condition, in !
sure sanitation, safety, etc.

thus:
1.-The Organization of the republican

Roosevelt do it? The country has
not forgotten the cartoons of a few
years ago representing the president
that was, Roosevelt, and the presi-
dent that wanted to be, Bryan, as
two Dromios, nor yet the epigram of
the Man from Nebraska that the
Man from Oyster Bay had stolen his
clothes whilst he was in swimming.
If we carefully examine and closely
analyZe the Roosevelt Ossawatomie
manifesto we shall find that most Of
it is as good Bryan gospel as the
Commoner himself could expound. In
the opinion of a rustic Kentuckian,
there is in all points wondrous re-

man his own political economist. To
hell with the constitution and the

or worthy the confidence of the plain
people, who cannot show them live
