Term opened May 5, 1887, and closed May 1, 1883. Length of term 32 weeks. Number of different pupils enrolled in school, males 40, females 50; total 90. Average daily attendance, males 2I, females 2-1; total 45. Number of tardi ness 1,134.

The school was under the charge of the principal during the first four weeks, after which an assistant was employed to the end of the term. Of the tardiness given more than two- thirds occurred during the first half of the term, showing a marked improve ment during last half, especially as tho average attendance was greater hi that period. It will ho observed that the average attendance Is far below the whole en rollment. This was due to a transient population moving into and out of the district, and teachers will readily tin derstand what a disadvantage such changes are in a school room. Notwithstanding the many adverse circumstances there was marked pro gress in all pupils, and some especially attained a high degree of excellence in scholarship and deportment.

PYIiF.S, Kdltor. DEMOCRATIC TICKET. FOR PRESIDENT, GROVER CLEVELAND. FOR VICE-1RESII1NT, ALLEN G. THURMAN.

WKSTr.RN.Kansuns want free lumber; Republican congressmen say they shan't have it. Cleveland was nominated Wednesday morning, by acclamation. At the time of going to press, Allen G. Thurman leads for the vice-presidency. Latf.r Thurman was nominated on the first ballot, Thursday.

Mr. Cox said, in the lumber debate, that he was a protectionist in favor of protecting American forests from desola tion by millionaire lumbermen at the expense of the consumer, by putting lumber on the free list. The tariff discussions this) week included the question of free lumber; and the Be-publicans, regardless of the right, in the case, or the wishes of their constituents. were solid against it; because the Demo crats want it. What does the Garden City Sentinel think of such tactics? Mr.

Dockery, of Missouri, hit the nail on the head when he said that "the expla nation of the failure of the lumbermen's wages to increase, lay in the fact that ninety per cent, of the workmen were Can adians. So it was in other industries. Thirty-three per cent, of the men employed in our manufacturing industries were for eigners imported under contract to com pete against American labor." Moscow, June 5, 18S8. The bond clcctiod is over, and the bonds have car ried, but there is trouble in two central townships; that is, frauds were perpetrat ed at Hugolon and a voting precinct west. Considerable excitement mid high feeling prevails, and may result in violence.

M. Nilrs, the genial Reg ister of the land office at Garden City, has just had his bre.ith taken away by a very distinguished and unexpected honor, lie lias been appointed Major and special aid-de-camp to Lieuleniuit-Goneral Underwood, of the Patriarchs Militant the highest military official in the Order of Odd Fellows in the world. Major Niles is an affable and handsome man, and when his Apollo-like form is clothed in the proper raiment, the Grand High-muck-a- nucks will have no cause to regret their selection. Tub Republicans oppose all tariff forms, rearardless alike of effects or the employment of reason. On Saturday, the paragraph in the Mills bill touching upon tree lumber was discussed in (Jongress.

The Republicans spoke in opposition to putting lumber on the free list. They pre sented the usual statements of millionaire lumber men that their "business would be ruined," and all such wash. At the same time many of their leading papers are ad vocating free lumber notably in tills re gion, the Garden City Sentinel regardless of the opinions of their representatives in Congress. It is a little queer to see news papers rejoicing in one column over the prospective smothering of the Mills bill, and in another column advocating the very things the bill would secure.

Lengthwise Through No Man's Land, Pour Hundred Miles on Toot. On tho ith of May, at evening, James Wilson absconded from this community, aklng with him throe horses upon which the Haskell County Bank held mort- T. L. Hughes and Joe Rosenthal cxt day, the loth, started hi pursuit, 'hey gained their first clue at Arkaland Seward county, where they learned that Mrs. Wilson had gone east by the train, and her husband had gone south with the horses and wagon.

From here Mr. Rosenthal returned, while T. with Sheriff Russ, of Sew ard county, started, In a buggy, in pursuit. They went down the Cimarron River for some miles, crossed over to the south side of it, and found no signs nor heard of the fngitiye. Taking a circle south and west, the terminus of which was to liavo been Arkaland, they struck his trail going south over the prairie, disregarding all roads.

They followed this soinu distance, when they diseov- red he had taken a dim wood-road, made by Strippers hauling wood out north. This he followed only a few miles, when ho abandoned it and took to the sand hills of the Beaver Creek. A little north of Beaver City, in a pocket, a kind of horseshoe, in the 6iind hills, they came upon Wilson's wagon, aban doned. He had. in the night, driven nto this little valley, and all around im, except the way he came in, the hills were so tall and steep he could in the dark get out no way but by leaving his wagon.

With the horses he climbed the hills and went on to. a little town called Rothwell, where he breakfasted. Thence Wilson went south a few miles, then turned west, parallel with tho Beaver, right along over the sand lills. He kept this course till he crossed the Paladora Creek and on to the Cold- water; up this 15 miles to San Francisco creek, which he crossed near its head, then took a southwest course. This course he kept till ho crossed the Fort Worth DonverK'y and the Iteo Blan- ko, travelling a little west of the Canadian river nearly to Tascosa, Texas, where he took the old Springer trail up Ute creek.

few miles back of this, they heard ho was not far ahead, and when they came out on a hight overlooking a wide valley, hounded by hills all around, Wilson could be seen nowhere on the hills. This was about thirty miles from Springer, and they had been told that the II. ranch lay a little south of their course; and to it they went. When they approached the ranch, they saw the three horses which they sought, picketed out. Riding up they quickly dismounted, letting their horses go.

They asked a cowboy where tho owner of those horses was, and being told that ho was la the house, they pulled tneir pops and got the drop on Jim. This was on the 26th of May. They had made seven changes of horses, and nearly all the way one of them had to walk to be able to follow the trail of Wilson's horses thus really chasing him four hundred miles on foot. Sever al times they were deprived of water once for two whole davs. Having no warrant, and knowing they could not get a requisition, as his offence was only breach of trust, they drove him out to the old Dodge and Tascosa trail, about thirty miles from Tascosa, and turned lira loose.

Of course the boys had to retrace their steps In order to return the exchanged horses, hence their tedious sandy jour ney had to be endured again. But they kept bravely on, and T. L. arrived in Santa Fe Sunday afternoon all safe and sound, though consideably knocked up by the perilous ride. K.

Af ter the usual opening ceremonies, Bro Snavde arose and announced that the ladies of the city had prepared ice cream for the members of the lodge, and that a cordial invitation was extended to all to retire to his residence and partake of the same. It was unanimously voted that the ice cream should be partaken of, but that the lodge room would be an excel lent place for the gathering.

It was so ordered, and soon tho ladies had ar ranged tables and the ice cream was eaten. The following ladies were pre3 ent and participated in the occasion Mrs. Meador, Mrs. Mahan, Mrs. Thomp son, Mrs.
