Uhang^s In the Sohool Buildings.

During the Christmas holidays there will be some radical changes mado in the city school buildings. The seats will all be rearranged so that the pupils may bo seated under the best possible light, and every platform in ti whole outfit will be removed to a-.cord with the most advanced ideas of school reform. This will place the teacher and pupil on the same level from one standpoint if not from another. One or two of the windows which interfere with the perfect lighting will probably be blocked up. ,r

To a Lafayette Courier reporter he said: "I think Judge Snyder treated me very kindly indeed. He could have made no allowance that would have recompensed me.

Then I have lost several thousand dollars in not being able to look alter the tax casoj." Mr. Haywood furihor stated that Mr. Anderson would come in for an equal share of the allowance.

OUR 0m ELEUTRIU LIGHT SYSTEM.

The Oouucil Sees Rushville and Is Convinced That We Mast Have It. The Mayor and Common Council are home from llushville. They arrived at that place at 8 o'clock p.m.Tuesday and were the guests of the Rushville Councilmen until miduight when they returned as far as Indianapolis. They informed themselves on every point of the electric light system and are of the unanimous opinion that by the first of next August when the contraot with the Water and Light company expires Crawfordsville will not only be lighting her own Btreets, but also her residences and store rooms. Rushville is a well shaded city like Crawfordsville but their incandescent lamps make the whole length of the streets perfectly lighted. Lights of fifty candle power are located on the corners while at each alley are lights of twenty four candle power. The total number of street lights is 155 while of commercial lights there are 200. The plant cost $13,000,the cityjiesuing bonds for all but $1,250 of it. It was put in two years ago and so popular has it become that an addition will have to be built to supply the demand for commercial lights. As yet only one residenoe uses the lights but nlien the addition is Complete there use in homes is expeoted to be general. Capt. Mauzy, the man who has the lights in his house, entertained the visitors for a while. He pays 40 cents per month for the first light, 35 cents for the second and 25 for all others except those iu bed rnomB which are free. These rates are expected tc be materially reduced. Commercial lights are sold at one-third of what they cost in Crawfordsville and yet estimating for the lust six months the receipts from the commercial lights 1 avo come wilhin $20 a month of paying the expenses of the entire plant. When the new dynamo is in the receipts are expected to exceed the exjiunses, and then of course will lollow a reduction in rates. Our council has been doing some figuring and they estimate that they could put in j. $24,000 plant, issue bonds at 6 per cent (which is a high rate of interest) payable in one, two, three and four years, and then not pay out any more per year than the present rente! from the Water & Light

Company" amottnts ^to.TThTs tioesnot inolude the reejaipfo from oommerci&l lights/ The inoandescent light, the council says, is more steady than the arc light is not glaring and there are no gloomy places on the street.

I am a painter by trade. Three years ago I had a bad case of Lead Poison, caused by using paint. 1 was cured in a short time by S. S. S. The medicine drove the poison out through the pores of the skin. My system was so saturated with poison that my underclothes were colored by the paint being worked out by the medicine through the pores of my skin. I was cured entirely by S. S. S., and have had no return since.
