Want New School Building. - Weeping Water has some excellent schools and also a reputation extend ing over much territory as to the very high grade of their institution of learning, but are handicapped by the ancient buildings. With as progres sive a city as Weeping Water many people here think that a better build ing should be constructed and the other ones in use be discarded. There is a move to construct a building at this time costing some $110,000 which would give the district a build ing which would allow a better op portunity for the scholars and give the instructors a better chance to impart the instruction. At this time an allowance of 45 can be obtained from the government and with the money now on hand $10,000 and bonds for $55,000 is the amount thought necessary. While some are in favor of this plan, others do not ap prove, so the matter is deadlocked for the present. Mrs, Charlotte Hungate Dies. Mrs. Charlotte Hungate, wife of Dr. J. B. Hungate, for many years one of the foremost practioners of Weeping Water, passed away at Ran dolph, Kansas last Monday morning. The family moved from here to Kansas many years ago.
