be put upon the summer market, in

has been the previous custom. The

THE NEW SCHOOL HOUSE.
WUekOM Gxaat
Credit to tie Citr.
Last Friday,, in company with the
members of the school board, a Joira
xxl representative made a visit to the
new school building, the objectof the
board being to witness the working
of the heating and ventilating system
with which it ia to be furnished, while
the visit of the reporter waa far the
j purpose of noting, for the benefit of
' the public, particulars of interest with
' regard to the improvement in a gen
( era! way.
; In respect to satisfying all apparent
demands and giving general satisfac-
tin, as well aa in point of a moat beau
tiful and sightly location upon high
ground, splendidly adapted to the
purpose, the site could not have been
more happily chosen.
The building ia now ready for the
plasterers and will, in all probability,
be ready for the high school to occupy
immediately following the Eaater
week vacation. The fact that the
contractor prefers to wait before com
mencing the work of plastering until
there shall be no risk from frost of
marring a successful and satisfactory
completion of the job, and that the
board have coincided with him, is but
one of the many little incidents which
have tended to show that in course of
construction the work has heen very
wisely superintended on behalf of the
board and fairly and honestly hand
led, on the part of the contractor. The
result is that our city has a public
improvement of which she may well
feel proud, a particular reason for
congratulation, and one which far too
often fails to materialize in such
cases, is the very important fact that
the cost has been, to say the least,
reasonable.
For the following principal details
of the plans and specifications of the
architect, Mr. J. F. Driscoil, of Oma
ha, the reporter ia indebted to the
kindness of the contractor, Mr. James
Pearsall, of this city :
The building is 54x64 feet, of brick,
built in shape of a cross, with stone
water-table, window sills, skewbacks
and keystones, galvanized iron cornice
and panels over windows, and parti- i
tions of brick. The basement is eight
feet high, the two stories, each 14 feet
in clear between floor and ceiling,
making walls 39 feet from foundation
to top of wall, 11 foot rise to roof,
tower and spire 26 feet, making 76
feet from ground to top of spire ; the
towr and spire to be finished with
dimension shingles cut in different
shapes to give a neat appearance.
Ridge of roof finished with galvaniz
ed iron ridge, roll and wrought iron
cresting, abo adds vastly to the ap
pearance of the building. The win- ,
dows. of which there are 48, with '
transom over each, are so arranged in ;
the school rooms that the light falls '
upon the backs of the pupils, which is (
as it should be. There are la doors,
3x3 feet, the outside front doors being
double and made to swing either way.
Each school rooci has three door?,
arranged so that escape cannot be cut
off in case of a panic, which, with !
three flights of stairs for the upper !
rooms, gives plenty of space for in- !
gress or egress to teachers and pupils. I
The building is divided as follows :
The basement has four rooms, the
furnace room and three for the ac- i
commodation of the janitor. The
first floor is divided into front and
rear halls, stair-ways, cloak rooms, j
two school rooms and one library I
room, the school rooms being 25:32
feet each, and the library room 15x15 i
feet- The second story is divided j
into two school rooms 25x32 feet
each, and one recitation room, 15xlS
feet, cloak rooms and landing for
stairs.
On entering the building from front
entrance you turn right or left to go
up stairs, or passing under an arch,
you turn right or left to enter the
school rooms.
a lie iiuur are mi xuiu witn long-
leaved southern pine and the upper
ones filled with deadening material
to prevent sound below. The whole ;
of the inside finish is of southern pine .
filled and oiled in the natural wood, i
making a very pretty finish. All the '
rooms are wainscoted aa high as the
window sills, and hand rail and j
newels of stairs are of black walnut
of neat design and nicely finished. J
The stair steps are of two-inch yellow i
pine and look as if there was no wear j
out to them. Blackboards will be I
finished in the plaster from the top of i
the wainscoting, in all school rooms, '
four and a half feet high, finished '
with moulding at top. '
The preliminary test of the heating !
and ventilating system, which, by the
way, is a particularly important mat-
ter with reference to a school build- i
ing, was entirely satisfactory to the
board. Each of the rooms is sup
plied with a register and separate
hot-air conductor from the engine in
the basement, also with a ventilator,
arranged to free the rooms from the
cold and impure air, connecting with
ventilating flue running from base-!
ment to roof. The cost of the arrange
ment will be 4S0, two hundred of
which was paid after the preliminary
test, one year being allowed to thor-
oughly test it before the balance is j
due, tne company guaranteezng that
it shall work as represented and give
satisfaction.
The Jochxai. is glad to be able
to commend the course of the Dem
ocrat under the new management,
concerning certain local affairs, and
desires to join hands with it in fur
thering all good work for this com
munity, but must also say, somewhat
in explanation of its own coarse, that
the whisperings of an outrase,'7 re
ferred to in the last Democrat, were
thoroughly investigated by the
Jocrxai., about four weeks ago, and
we were wholly satisfied that there
was no foundation in truth for the
"whisperings,' and that it wa3 not a
case for the help of the newspapers or
of officials. Let no undeserved dis
credit be brought upon Columbus.
The Chicago Photo Car, whose
coming has been extensively adver
tised through these columns, has ar
rived in the city and is located at pres
ent at the railroad crossing on Olive
street. Mr. Hutch in gs, the manager,
has called upon the JocRSAi, and" we
take pleasure in introducing him to
the public as a gentleman who im
presses us with the idea thar he thor
oughly understands himself witir re
sard to his hueinese, and of wham
the community might expect courte
ous, gentlemanly treaisaeat.

First. Increase in number of cni

ty of conuptiy seeking a continuance

Second. We are governed too
much already and this would add '

sponsible power or an irresponsible
power;

Second. Tod&v the railroads ex-
ercise a power of taxation without
responsibility to the people that no
governmeai uu sarin uare unuerta&e
to impose upon an intelligent people,
