Mineral POINT
HIGH SCHOOL

The Seniors have now begun their
thesis work. This year, the same as
others, emphasis is laid on the fact that
credit will be given for original investi-
cation.
Visitors at our High School the past
week were Leone Hubbards, Leila Davis,
Olive Wedlock, Daisy Holmes and
Veronica Ketter.
Blanks are now being filled out by
the pupils to get useful information
concerning their outside interests. The
purpose of this is that the pupil may be
directed and advised as to which course
to take.
A magazine rack has been installed
in our High School. 1t was donated by
the Manual Training Department and
was made by Alois Daum and Willie
Jeliffe. This is very useful article
since it places the magazines in con-
venient position and also preserves
them.
The grinding machine and the wood
working lathe for the Manual Training
department have arrived. The saw and
some other machinery has been delayed.
After these articles have been installed,
our Manual Training department will
be very fully equipped.

that Decatur and all the country round

In Il way it has been work of love-l
work that her husband began and she
is completing But at all times it has
been an ambitious effort to make the

efficiency.
Though without political influence.
never once has she been opposed for
office, With simply her record for good
work for recommendation she was re-
appointed. once by Mckinley. twice by

THE CITY'S WATER SUPPLY

Specimens of the water from the
Mineral Point city system were recent
ly sent to the state hygenic laboratory
for analysis. Reports of samples taken
at different points vary. One from up
town was declared to be safe; while
another sample taken at the railway
station was pronounced questionable.
DR.. George Smieding, health officer,
warns against the use of water from
any of the open springs in the city.
Samples taken from these springs aud
tested prove that they would be dan
gerous to use without boiling.

Of Husband and Son.
IS DONATED TO MUSEUM.

Of the mummy skull of an Egyptian
queen nearly $500 years old Mrs.
Jere Bauman of 466 Neshannock ave-
nue., Newcastle, has donated the head
to the Carnegie museum.
Mrs Bauman says she believes that
the mummy worked a spell upon the
members of her family, and she is
hopeful that she can break this by Civ
ing the head away. Her son died four
years ago, and her husband died last
month.
The skull is that of Queen Hatshep-
suit, or NataSu, of the line of ThOthmes.
1t was unearthed by Mr.. Bauman in
September, 1909, while he and his wife
were travelling in Egypt. The head
weighs about five pounds and is cov-
cred with a brown black cloth, which
is glued tight to the flesh. Openings in
the cloth show glistening eyes, and it
is believed that they are polished
agates. The ears and markings of the
face show distinctly.
Queen Hatshepsutt, according to Mrs.
Bauman. ruled about 1878 B. G. She
followed the reign of Amasis, of the
eighteenth dynasty, who overthrow the
Hyksos. or shepherd kings Amasis'
son Amenophis, or AmenhOtep l., be-
came the patron saint of the Theban
Metropolis, Thutmosis, or Thothmes L.,
next to rule, penetrated into Nubia be-
yond the Third cataract and also into
Syria as far as the Euphrates.
Queen Hatshepsutt followed her
father and ruled with her brother,
Thothmes H., and independently. She
is chara cterized in history as a most
energetic ruler and one accustomed to
have her way
Tradition tells us that moving a
body from it's native soil and tomb will
