PUBLIC SCHOOL ITEMS
ftf
Monday morning Old Glory was
again unfurled to the breeze ovor the
several school houses in the city and tho
boll in the east ward building cheerily
announced the opening of the fall term
1901 of McCooks public schools
In the high school Monday was de
voted to organizing classifying distrib
uting books and supplies assigning
lessons etc and on Tuesday morning
the regular routine work was taken up
In tho several grades the preparatory
work occupied the morning period and
the regular programme was begun in
the afternoon
Some little confusion was incident to
the changing of pupils from one building
to another but on Tuesday morning in
all grades the regular work was well in
in hand and progressing nicely
About 100 new pupils entered the
preparatory grade this week
The black boards in the office have
been removed to one of the rooms in tho
new frame building
The total number of outside pupils
opening day was 22 this exceeds that
of last year when the opening attend
ance was 18
One room in tho new frame building
is unoccupied and one in use unprovided
with black boards a condition shortly
to be remedied
The boiler at the east ward building
has been given n new set of flues and in
cidentally a now brick jacket The new
frame building will be heated from this
plant The steam connections are all in
and the radiators only are lacking
The new frame building will no doubt
fill a long-felt-want The rooms are
fair sized well lighted and comfortable
being a little pinched however for
cloak room but withal a vast improve
ment over the old system of disconnected
rooms
The superintendents office and as
sembly room in the east building three
rooms in tho west building and the
South McCook building have been re
papered which places every school room
in the system in clean and attractive
condition
The entire system seems to be well
organized and equipped as to teachers
supplies apparati etc and definite work
laid out for each of the grades and The
Tribune expects good work from Supt
Thomas his well selected corps of
teachers and satisfactory results from
the pupils
Tho old laboratory in the basement
has been refitted and is now used as a
recitation room as well Black boards
seats etc have been providedthe ceiling
has been deadened and ceiled and the
result is a commodious recitation room
A new case has also been provided for
laboratory apparati and the stock room
adjacent has undergone some improve
ments as well

The Sappy creek on the south of us
is reported as being fourfeet higher than
ever known before All bridges are re
ported as being swept away from Ober
lin to S A Fishs place some eight miles
east
Simeon Billings transacting business
in the city of McCook Saturday was
another one of the victims that was
caught on the other side Saturday even
ing Partly swimming and wading his
team he managed to cross tho creek at
Morgans Monday forenoon
Guy Curlee of Bartley made an extra
effort to reach Danbury Saturday even
ing before the rain but being a little
behind time when he reached this valley
the whole valley was afloat and ad
mission to the other side was impossible
he therefore made up his mind to return
whence he came which he did through
all the storm and rain and on returning
home he found that water dwelt upon
the valleys of the Republican as well
The last we heard of him he was all cov
ered with mud team and buggy and
waiting on the shores of the Republican
valley thinking
One of the heaviest rain storms ever
known in the Beaver Valley fell Satur
day evening and Sunday morning be
tween the hours of nine and four About
nine Saturday evening it began and con
tinued for an hour or more raining about
an inch or so then calmed down for a
short time and later about one oclock
the rain began to fall in torrents and
continued till about four that morning
Many never thought of such a hard rain
falling on account of there being no
wind with it and thinking that it was one
of those gentle northeast rains did not
stir around to get up and see what was
going on However when on arising in
the morning those in the valley found
that the water was up in their door
yards and their barn yards were afloat
haystacks fences hogs and pigs had
taken leave of absence and were floating
down the creek The stream was from
a mile to a mile and a half wide and
fences haystacks bridges and anything
that was loose were easily swung round
or carried off It is reported that a num
ber of culvert bridges from the north
west for a distance of five miles were
washed to the creek valley near B B
Smileys place Farmers are having
quite a time locating what belongs to
them in the way of fences posts etc
Most everyone along the valley from the
west as far east as Lebanon lost more or
less hogs and pigs and most of the alfal
fa seed was cut and being bunched on
the meadows when the water came and
drifted it away clean from the fields
piling it up in great drifts along trees
mixed with trash so that it will be im
possible to save but very little of it if
any The alfalfa hay in the stack will
be more or less injured in the bottom of
the stacks as the water in many places
was from three to six feet up around
them H W Naden had two fair sized
stacks of alfalfa in the draw west of his
house and these were carried a distance
of a quarter of a mile and set down as
nicely as if they had oeen moved there
There is only one bridge at present that
is passable for those living on the north
side of the creek is the one at George
Morgans place and those living west are
compelled to go around by his place to
get to town The water hits remained
high all this week since Sunday on ac
count of the heavy rains farther up the
valley It is reported that eleven wash
outs have occurred between this place
and Atwood Kans and the trains have
been unable to get any farther west than
that place until today they reached
Herndon Kans The rails in many pla
ces near Traer were washed off from the
dump and twisted up in general and the
construction train is now at work build
ing up a new track with ties and it is
thought the road will be opened again
by the first of the week The water
fallen during this time is variously esti
mated Some think it rained fifteen feet
where they had nothing to measure it
in but as near as we can learn from
those having the best measurements it
rained here about eight inches on west
farther about nine inches
