SPRING SEASON 1886. To tnc l'coilo Chapman au! Noble Towwtlilp. During the fore part of last winter a meeting was called by the school board for the purpose of mak ing some arrangements to build an addition to our present school house in order to make room for our rap-pidly increasing school. At that meeting, we proposed the idea of disposing of our present school house Ladies, your attention is especially called to a new stock of Fashionable Millinery.

J. Turner of Sheridan county will probably be the lucky man. The congressional convention will be held at Concordia, June 20th. The representation is based on the Anderson vote of two years ago, and will make a convention of about seventy-five members. Jury in the Parker case returned a verdict of guilty.

JeHVi-Mou Davit. The one thing to rejoice over the Montgomery people overlooked; that was the utter failure'of Jeff Davis and his co-conspirators to establish their confederacy.

It would have been the meanest and shabbiest government ever known on the earth. The salvatiou of the feouth was the failure of the confederacy. We noticed that Montgomery was illuminated on the occasion by the electric lights. It is safe to say, had the confederacy succeeded Montgomery would have no electric lights now. The people of Montgomery, after they got through worshiping Davis should have gone home to thank God that Davis failed.

Jeff Davis said at Auburn, Alabama, the other day, "You have all heard of the let cause, it is not lost, it lives again, It is not dead, but sleeping! There was a time when we thought apparently that the cause was lost." It was when scurrying away in a terror and in a hoop-skirt, he sought to evade the search of un ion soldiers. Captured, and at the mercy of his pursuers, he was treated with a clemency unknown to history, and with a magnanimity unparallel ed in the history of nations, but he seems to have forgotten all this, and now in his old age, this feeble and decrepit old unrepentant traitor stands up to insult the nation to whose magnificent humaneness he owes his very life. He is a rebuking reminiscence of a brave people's blunder, and a decaying exampie of republican forbearance, Abilene Gazette. The Pope and the Hnlghts.

C. Adj't, MUSIC DALE. Farmers are busy listing corn. Ex-Howe was in Abilene Monday Thos. Goheen made us a pleasant visit last week.

Several of our boys are occasion ally trying their skill in thefiscato- rial art, so far they have succeeded in catching one small cat-fish ajid a snapping turtle. It is amusing to hear our young men tell how they managed to have a sleep during the day following the A.O. II. ball; some weijt up into lofts, others upon hay stacks, and to all manner of places, that afforded a roosting place. Dennis Delany was seen in the Dale last week; we are informed by good authority, that he has purchas ed a buggy, so we are hourly expecting him to drive into our midst like a rectified cyclone, to ask some one of our fair damsels to take a ride, Madam Rumor informs us (as we go to press) that he will be on hand as soon as he obtains a set of harness such as is sported by Johnny Scan-Ian, and other influential gentlemen, A Heavy Claim.

Judge Moberly a claim agent of Washington, representing the fami ly of the late Captain Crawford who was killed by the Mexicans while pursuing the Apaches, has filed in the State Department, a claim for $100,000 indemnity against the Mexican government, and it is said there are precedents for its payment. Grover must be going to get married for sure this time. Miss Fol-som's grandfather says he gave Frankie $1000 to go to Europe to buy the wousseau and has just sent her $600 more. The old man is getting reckless with his wealth. It is reported that the Abilene Gazette discharged one of its best workmen for joining the Knights of in some manner and taking the pro- ceeds from its sale and adding to it onough to build mi a new location a school building of sufficient size to accommodate our district for the future.

It was decided at that meeting that the question was of such importance as to be entertained, and it was agreed to consider it at an adjourned meeting to be held on Monday evening May 10. The time for that meeting is now near at hand and the matter should receive our careful attention. In order that all may be able to intelligently understand the we will say that the Board proposed to build an addition on the north side of our present building two stories high, and containing two rooms. The estimated cost of building and furnishing was from $1800 to $2000. We would then have a school house of four rooms at a cost of over $1000.

It would be an unsightly and poorly arranged building to make the best of it then, and on account of its unfavorable location would be a poor expenditure of money. A school house ought never to be in the midst of the business portion of a town as ours is, or will be situated. Another objection is its nearness to the railroad. Accidents are liable to happen from children playing around the track and one life is werth more than many such school houses. Ve have thought of the idea of disposing of the property to the township and city for public purposes and believe that such acMon would be coni- mendable.

It is very properly located for such a purpose and would add very much to the appearance of our little city. And, as whatever tends to build up our city, will be of interest to our township, we believe the people would take pride in assisting the project. The last legis lature provided for the location a township high school in every township, and a great many townships throughout the state have arranged to erect such a building for carrying on such a school. Noble Twp. ought not be behind in this project or giving the youth every possible advautage that our laws afford and why should we not take advantage of this at once and in connection with our city school, establish the high school provided for.

This would give all the older schollars of our township the privilege of this high school without paying a tuition fee. These matters are of importance to our people and, at the meeting next Monday night thev will be discussed. We hope that our people will be enough interested in the sublect to be present. Respectfully Submitted, F. B.

Lillie. The bill recently introduced to regulate and restrain the manufacture and sale of adulterated dairy products has the approval of the American Dairymen's Assocition. It imposes a special tax upon all manufacturers of oleomargarine of $000 per annum, wholesale dealers $480, and retail dealers $485. It also requires that oleomargarine be packed in tubs or firkins of not less than ten pounds to each package; every package is required to contain a printed certificate and caution similar to that now used on packages of cigars. The tax is fixed at 10 cents per pound which is to be by means of coupon stamps similar to those now used for manufactured tobacco.

Heavy penalties are imposed for any violation of the bill. SNYDER'S EOTEL, ZTWO DOLLARS PER DAYZ! GEO. SNYDER, Proprietor. CHAPMAN, KAN F. B.
