DEMAND FOB ADDITIONAL 6BAD
D SCHOOL BO0M.
In calling attention to the need of
an auditorium tor the graded school,
there should not be forgotten or over
looked the fact, that the present
school room and .leaching facilities
are already over taxed. It this so at
present, what is to be expected next
tall when there must be more child
ren seeking admittance, than there
are today?
It Is doubtful If the trustees ef the
school, and the parents who have
children to send to school, are fully
aware of the actual needs of the grad
ed school. To som, the advocacy of an
auditorium, may seem a superfluity
and extravagance. But when school
rooms become over crowded, and pu
pils cannot receive the attention they
ought, and other children cannot gain
admission, it cannot be charged as
extravagance, to provide suitable and
necessary room, and to be able to
give attention to each and every pu
pil applying for a chance to enter
school, and to not impose extra duties
upon any teacher, because of an over
crowded school room.
The question of securing the East
ern Normal school, sinks into insig
nificance, compared to the issue, of
giving the home children of this city
---the school accommodations that m-p
due them, and which every pared
feels fully entitled to, as a taxpayer
and citizen. 20,000 to 30,000 eoiili'
be well and profitably expended In
graded school betterment, and revilly
necessary additions to the present
school equipment. This city has an
obligation to perform in caring for
the education, and providing suitably,
the means, whereby its children may
receive tjjis education. If $20,000 is
demanded for needed school purposes
it is not a question of hesitation in
promptly spending the $20,000. If it
Is needed, and inadequate school fa
cUltles exist, it is neglect on the part
of those who have the graded school
in charge. Now is the time to gO Into
this matter, not next fall, when child
ren will have to be turned away, be
cause of want of school facilities to
take them. A few days, and the pies
ent school year fe over. The needs of
the future are already pressing upon
the graded school, and eall for imme
dlate attention.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall's Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known
to the medical fraternity. Catarrh be
ing a constitutional disease, requires
a constitutional treatment Hall's Ca
tarrh Cure is taken Internally, acting
directly npon the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system, thereby de
stroying the foundation of the disease
and giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and as
sisting nature in doing its work. The
proprietors have so much faith In its
curative powers that they offer One
Hundred Dollars for any case that It
fails to cure. Bend for list of testi
monials.

Four Bad Snakes.
Snakes are much maligned creatures,
although they ar for the most part
of 'Considerable value-to t)an, as they
live almost entirely on insects and the
small rodeuts that are injurious to
crops. Of all the snakes that inhabit
North America there are really i only
four, that are dangerous. These are
the copperhead, the moccasin, the rat
tlesnake and a, little snake of southern
Georgia and Florida known as the
coral snake. Of course there are a
number of different species of the rat
tler "(about thirty), but they inhabit
different parts of the country and are
all to be known from the fact that they
"rattle" When approached. All the
rest of our snakes are absolutely
harmless, and their bite Is to be less
feared than that of a mosquito. Scrap
