WILL OCCUPY NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

After Thanksgiving and Visiting Days’ Vacation High School Will Be in New Home. The new high school building will be occupied after the Thanksgiving and visiting days’ vacation. Removal will be made during the vacation ami when the schools take up on Dec. 4th the .high school will be in its magnificent new home. The old high school building will be occupied by the 6th, 7th and Bth grades and the grade building will have the first five grades. For the past year the primary grade has been occupying the library auditorium. There will be plenty of room in the three buildings for a long time to jcorne, but the excellent facilities should be instrumental in drawing many more pupils to the high school as soon as the’ excellence of the building and the advantages for improved education are learned in surrounding towns. For the present one new teacher will be employed to have supervision over the 6th, 7th and Bth grades and to assist the regular teachers of those grades. It is probable that the school board will do some extensive advertis-. ing during the sumer months to make known the advantages offered for a high school course here. The Republican had hoped to be able to print a picture of the new building at this time, but the condition of the gr’ounds iso unsightly, owing to the of dirt and rubbish that the photographer thought best to wait Until this is cleared away before making a picture. This will probably be done within a week and then a description of the building and the manner it will be utilized will accompany the picture. The schools will adjourn next Wednesday evening for Thanksgiving. They will not take up until Wednesday morning of the following week, Dec. 4th, as the teachers will employ Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 2nd and 3rd for visiting days, going to other schools that are regarded models. This has the effect of broadening the teachers and they often learn of methods that they are able to apply successfully in their own schools. It is quite sure there will be enough democrats to take the Crown Point postofflee when a vacancy occurs, which is not due until three years from next February. Mr. Daugherty will undoubtedly hold the office until his time expires if he runß it “according to Hoyle.”—Lake County Star. Don’t forget Simon Leopold’s big remodeling sale.

CIGARBOX FOR BANK; $2,000 DESTROYED

William C. Fay lor, of Union Township, Lost Residence and $2,000 in Friday S'oon Fire. William C. Faylor, of Union township, lost $2,000 in currency and his farm residence Friday noon, fire being the agency of destruction. Mr. Faylor states that he had the money Jn a cigarbox in an upstairs room and was saving with the intention of building himself a new home next year. Mrs. Faylor had driven to Fair Oaks, and had not been gone very long when he discovered the roof of the house on fire. Apparently it had caught from a defective chimney. He .rushed to the house and started up stairs to the room where the money was, but he was stopped by the flames. He employed the telephone which was in the lower part of the £ouse to call neighbors to aid him in saving as much of the household goods as possible and most of the things on the first floor were dragged out. The house, which was a fairly good one, was totally destroyed. It was insured for S6OO. With several good banks in the city and county and with postal savings banks almost-every place, there is no excuse for a man having that amount of currency in his home and while Mr. Faylor’s loss will be a severe one for him, he will find little sympathy, we imagine, because he not employ the means so readily at hand to have guarded against the loss.

Evidently George Lambert Is the Man Referred to.

Remington Press. When a man afflicted with the drink habit has not back-bone enough to let the stuff alone, and become* such a beast that ho frequently abuses his family, wrecks the home and creates other damage in his drunken fits, it jAs quite time to call his bluff, and have him confined where he can neither get the liquor, do damage to property or endanger the lives of his family. Remington has an excellent example of what whisky will do for a man and his family, at the present time.

NO ACCOMMODATIONS ON C. & E. I TRAINS

Railroad Thought to Be Acting In Bad Faith With FnbUe to Hare ~ Trains Taken Off. • The C. & E. I. railroad, according to people who live along the route, are making no effort whatever to accommodate travelers with- their recently established trains. They seem to be trying to prove that they are not justified and thus to get the consent of the state commerce commission to withdraw them. The trains were put on the first of November. The sched-

and safes. The two-months count will begin at once.

WEATHER FORECAST. Generally fair tonight and Sunday; colder tonight in north portion; colder Sunday. *

ule is not advertised along the route, no effort has been made to popularise, the trains for travel and they do not run to make connections with the Mo* non at F’air Oaks, which alone would cause a number to patronize them. A gentleman from Virgie said Friday that many people in that neighborhood would use the trains instead of driving if they ran with any accommodation.
