Old Landmark Gone.

Thursday night the old Springs
hotel building on North Military
street was burned to the ground.
The building had not been occu-
pied for hotel purposes for sever
al years, but J. H. House, an old
soldier, had been rooming in the
building for the owners, so as to
look after it.
It is not known just how the
fire started, but before the fire
fighting brigade could get into
action the building was a mass
of flames in the upper story, and
in a short time was a pile OF
ruins. Mr.. House lost all of his
effects, and had his feet badly
burned before he got out of the
building. :
The building belonged to some
parties in Parsons, Kansas, and
A. v. Smith of this city was the
agent for the owners, who car
ried $1,000 insurance on the
building.
The Hood Implement Company
had a lot of lumber for their new
building stored in the building
and lost a lot of it, but the loss
was fully covered by insurance.
The burning of the building
marked the passing of an old
landmark. 1t was one of the
most famous hostelries in South
ern Kansas at one time, and if
the walls of the old building
could have talked they would
have told some strange stories.
When the writer came to this
city in 1877 the hotel was known
as the Planters House, and was
run at different times under diff
ferent management. w. o. Parke
of Galena, used to be landlord.
Capt. H. A. Burgess ran 1t IN
the early 'SOs. The late Capt. ].
S. Price used to be mine host
there, too.
The building had been allowed
to go to rack and ruin; however,
and no tears are being shed be-
cause of its destruction.

Mrs. MiIbur'S Loss.

On Tuesday forenoon of this
week Mrs. M. ]. Wilbur, living
on the state line eight miles
southwest of this city, had the
misfortune to lose her home and
almost all of the contents by
fire. The fire was discovered
about 10 o'clock, and it is not
known how it started. The
flames gained such headway that
it was impossible to put them
out, and all was lost. The loss
is in the neighborhood of $1,000,
with only $500 insurance,
Mrs. Wilbur will rebuild at
once.

School Notes.

We have had only few days
hot enough to make the school
sessions uncomfortable. The at
tendance has been low the last
few days. Sickness kept out quite
a number, especially in the lower
grades. Quarterly and final ex-
aminations are in order these last
two weeks. AS usual all pupils
who made an average of go and
above for the whole year are ex-
empt from the finals. Rev. A. c.
Stewart was a welcome visitor at
the school one morning last week.
He made several good sugges-
tions to the pupils of the High
School. The W. r. c. thru their
patriotic instructor, Mrs. Rey-
nolds, presented to the school a
design which gives a complete
history of the American flag.
The information it gives is
unique as well as interesting. :.
Beginning with next Monday,
May 20, there will be on display
an exhibit of school work in the
building next to the Post Office.
This exhibit includes some spec.
ial work, but most of it is regu-
lar school work, done by the pu-
pills of each of the grades. There
will be work in some subject by
each pupil in school. Everyone
is requested to visit the display
some time during the week. Open
every afternoon during the week
ending May IS. On next Sunday
night, May 19, at 8 p. m. the
Baccalaureate sermon will be
given by Rev. Q. W. Brakebill
at the M. E. church. The theme
will be THE First Object in
Life"

The old soldiers are feeling
pretty good now, for the reason
that most of them have been
granted an increase of pension.
Several of them will draw 80
bones a month and good many
will draw IS. while much larger
number will draw from 16 to 20
a month. President Taft signed
the bill on Friday evening OF
last week, and a great many OF
the old boys think the Demo
cratic lower house of congress is
a pretty good bunch of fellows,
and Taft is a nicer man than
they thought.
