Second Mysterious Fire in the
Wolfsville School.

For the second time within a few weeks
the Wolfsville School building, used for
the accommodation of the seventh and
eighth grades, was burned. About two
weeks ago an old building in which these
two grades were temporarily housed,
was burned, and little attention was paid
to the matter and no investigation fol-
lowed. Either Saturday night or early
Sunday morning another building, which
had been rented from Jacob Warrenfelsz
as a temporary place for the school was
burned, together with the school equip
ment.
State Fire Marshal G. Edward Myers
spent all day Sunday in the mountains
about Wollsyille and he is believed to
have unearthed some excellent clues.
He stated the burned building was not a
particularly valuable one, but stated the
loss by reason of the burning Of building
and the school equipment will be from
$500 to $500.
The School Board, at its last meeting,
order plans prepared for three room
school building at Wolfsville. There has
been an urgent need Of new building at
this place for some years.

to help build up your town. AS a
rule in small town where there
are Il number OF retail businesses
they fight among themselves too
much. At least half of them have
their back mp" about something
all the time. This should not be.
There is an old saying, United
we stand divided we fall" and it is
too true about a town. Yes, Bill

All are prosperous found, When

certed efforts of the business men
of community that factories and
industries of various sorts are sc.
cured to locate in communities. OF
course it might be that it is not al
ways possible to get large factor
les, but small ones will help, even
il they employ only two or three
men. We heard n few weeks ago
that man attempted to locate a
new business IN one town that
would have given employment 10
at least three men, He circulated
Il petition among the business
men, it is said, and some signed it,
while others woald not. Some
said that they had no interest in
the matter. 1t is probable you
know the outcome.
Bill Hanks says that it the re.
tail merchant wants to save his
own bacon, it is up to him to do
so by good clean treatment of his
neighbor aud his farmer. He
must carry good clean stocks of
merchandise and let the folks know
about the same by pointed ndvrr-
Using, IN axe the people know that
they are welcome to his place OF
business. Make II worthwhile TO
the farmer TO come to Pennington;
make it worth while for every body

1T WAS SOME STORM.

Kansas and a number Of o.her
state experienced one Of the worst
storms Of the season the first Of the
week, but this part Of the state was
exceptionally fortunate in that it was
not nearly so bad here as in many
other places, but at that It was Sc
we're enough to cause people to real
ize that it can storm little in KAN
pas when it takes a notion. Sunday
morning was fine and warm, but in
the afternoon things were entirely
ddfferent and by night real lie size
blizzardswas sweeping across the cou
try which lasted until Monday morn-
ing. AS a result great damage was
done to teIsraph and telephone lines
throughoat several states, by the lain
and sleet freezing on the wires una
the weight broke down the wires and
poles, train service was greatly de-
laye@ and in some sections much sui
fering of the stock is reported. In
the eastern Na Of the state the
damage was much greater than here,
but fortunately the storm was of but
short duration, but as it is, the iinan.
cial loss will be very heavy and 1t
will cost the telephone and telegraph
companies hundreds Of thousands Of
dollars to repair the damage done.
