Early in the session parties were on hand buying fees and it was a pretty race to see the witness trying to beat the buyers and viee yerea So great and universal is the delight experience in fleecing a fee buyer that he who would buy successfully must be a very wise boy. There were all manner of fees piled up in the liqnor cases aud sold he other day a few sample batches were fixed up and presented to the county commissioners. The cases in question are now lying before the appellate court and are set for March 14. In the meantime the men are in jail or out on bond and the commissioners declined to pay under the circumstances. If the appellate court reverses the district court, the state will pay; if it sustains the lower court, every effort will be made as required by law to compel the defendants to pay, before the cousty becomes liable for costB.

As the jail sentences are long, some of them for years, and shonld the board stick by its rule not to pay while the defendant is in jail, some of those bill buyers will be grandfathers when they get their money. The appelate conrt has exclusive jurisdiction over the cases and its decision will be final. The lawyers of the joint keepers will try and get the grand jury and its findings obliterated on account of a bull in the statute on the subject of grand juries. One section of the law (Webb's Complicated Stat utee) says that the petition signed by the 100 tax payers shall be presented to the judge twelve days before the sitting of court. Another paragraph says the samejudge shall notify the county clerk 30 days before court whether or not the grand jury called is a necessity.

On that discrepancy an attempt will be made to do something. And in the meantime, the fees are unpaid. The SchoaLfi. Report of the Huperuatandent for the third month, eudingr 6, 1899. SOUTH SIDE.

There has beeD rather more sickness than usual, and the Christmas vacation was shorter than has been the custom previously. We regret to note that tardiness has been increasing.

Regular and prompt attendance is essential to thorough scholarship, and it is hoped our teachers will make a greater effort, if possible, to inculcate the habit of being present every day and always on time a habit valuable in itself in real life, and as indispensable in student life. It is probable that our attendance will be reduced more or less during the ensuing' month by sickness, but may we not hope that a better report in the matter of tardiness may be forthcoming THE HIGH SCHOOL. The enrollment In the high school is already beyond the seating capacity of the assembly room, and in another month there' will be an accession of about 20 pupils by promotion. This over-crowded condition bas necessitated the change in the high school sessions, that went into effect Monday morning, The forenoon session opens at 8 o'clock and closes at 12, though only about one third of the pupils come at the early hour, the bulk of the high school assembling at 8:40. The afternoon session opens at 1:30 and closes at 3:00 With the present force of teachers it would D.

He was unable to rsmember anything prior to the accident Bowers lives at Littlejohn's restaurant at Kansas avenue. He is a tailor and is employed at John F. McManus' establiah-ment These two men fell from the portico in exactly the same place as the two soldiers who fell last summer. It is at the west side of the south portico. There is no railing here.

Mr. Boo, who was best able to describe the accident, said: "There were not so very many people on the portico at the time it happened. Bowers was walking just ahead of me. We were both in a hurry. He thought the steps went down there, andJ was fallowing him and not noticing much where I went.

He walked off and before I could stop myself 1 simply followed atter.him, and tumbled."

Swisher Dead. Mrs. Swisher, of Moran, who came to lola a few days ago to be treated a long standing illness, died Monday evening at the home of G. Allison. She was fifty-six years old and had suffered from a lung trouble for years which was the cause of her death.

She was a widow, her husband having died some years ago, and leaves seven children, Mrs. McCoy and Mrs. Daugherty, of Moran, and two unmaried daughters and the eons to mourn her loss. She was a Christain woman, a loving mother and friend, and her commendation of her children to her heavenly Father, as she calmly talked to them on her death bed, was beautiful and touching, bringing tears to the eyes of her skill and ability of the teachers.
