The matter of selecting a site for tbo new school house nt Cut Off was referred to the committee on buildings and grounds with power to act. Two offers are before tfic board , one being two lots for $500 and the other the choice of several adjoining lots at $100 per lot.

Ever since the high school was erected twenty years ago oil lamps have been the only means by which artificial light was furnished In the building.

Every room in the building would bo needed and tlio office of tbo principal would have to bo util ized as a class room. Last year the enroll ment at this building was 730. The salary of Superintendent Hayden was fixed at $2,000 , the same as last year , and that of Prof. Clifford , principal of the High school , at $1,600 , being nn Increase of $100 over last year.

BRAZIL D , COURTS INSTANTLY KILLED Shotgun 1" the Hnniln of John France , Who Appeared l-'rleiully , Illil the AHKiiMHlii'ii I'atal Work. OTTUMWA , la. , July 17. ( Special Tele gram. ) Appanoose county , noted for its law lessness , has another brutal murder at Its door. Last night Just about 7 o'clock John Fraseo shot and killed Brazil D. Courts in the most cowardly and brutal manner. F. E. Pertum was au eyewitness ot tbo thoot- Ing , which occurred on the state road near Dean , In the southern end of the county. Pertum and Courts met Kraseo with n shot gun over his shoulder , coming aleut ; on the Missouri side.

( Special. ) The name of Fred M. Hans of Omaha , special agent for the Sioux City and Pacific and the Fremont , Elktoorn & ( MlBSOurl Valley railways , has been spoken , of a good deal lately In connection with the recent rob bery of a Union Pacific train. Not that Hans was ono of the robbers , but he has taken some part In the chase after the per petrators of tbo crime. Hans made his mark some years ago , and back of his pres ent career Is a life of daring and real ro mance. He line been a frontiersman , scout , detective , and la one of tbo quickest shots with n revolver In the world. Hans began his career In rather a peculiar manner. He was n youth working on his father's farm , when it became necessary that he leave horn to search for an abducted brother. In this chase ho spent nearly one-half of his career , but ho finally acompllshed hla purpose and took the boy baek to his homo. It was in July , 1876 , that a man named Randall , who had a grudge against Fred Hans' father , abducted the 3-year-old son. Randall'6 son had been sent to the peni tentiary for murder on Information furnished by Mr. Hans , sr. Ho took n cowardly method of rovcngc. Wlien the boy was stolen Randall was at once suspected , and Harm started out In search of the boy nnd his captor. Ho felt convinced from the start t.lnit Randall had given the boy to the Indians , so young Hans went among this people. Tbls search ho continued for elgliteon long years. It was In this way that bo became famous as n ecout. Ho entered the employ ot the government , and for years worked with the army In the Ulack Hills country , on the plains about Montana , and wont through a number of frontier wars. Ho know Custer well , but never was with hla army very much , but spent BO mo tlmo with General Miles , who lias n high regard for Hans as a scout and bravo man. But the way ho found bin brother was wonderful. Hans happened to stroll Into a hotel nt Rapid City one day , and saw a young fellow there whoso face caught his attention nt once.

" That was a Raying of a wise old clergyman who knew that marriage was a partnership in the broadest sensr , and that there can be no success in any partnership in which the partners do not contribute equally to make success possible , Kor this , if for no other reason , every man who is trying' to climb the ladder of success should be interested in hs wife's health , A healthy wTmtan is always helpful. A tired , nervous woman , depleted in strength and depressed in mind , can contribute neither mentally nor physically to a liuuband'o success. The remarkable ' remedy - edy , Dr. I'ierce'a 1'avor- ite Prescript ion , so strengthens the organs peculiarly , feminine , dries up debilitating- , draini , heals ulcerationsj and inflammation ! , and cures female trouble , that the causes of ill- health are thus entirely removed , and the healthy , happy wife becomes a genuine help.meet to the husband.
