When Superintendent Curtis broached the subject of a high school for St. John township at the commencement exercises last June, his words took root and ever since the subject has been discussed more or less.. More than half of the vacation is over and the school days are slowly drawing near again, and consequently the high school topic goes more in the foreground. In the past years the graduates of this township have been handicapped because they had to go out of the township to attend a high school, and now that the township has the proper building it is seemingly an easy matter to support the school. The building at St. John would be the ideal place for the school, as it is new and within easy reach from all over the township by good macadam roads. ' Lowell News.

Lightning struck in several places around town. The storm was so great mat it tore otr tne gearing from August Stommels newly erected windmill throwing it close to Mat. Schutz's house. It also damaged the Modern Medicine Go's, tent to such an extent that no show could be given last night. According to report, a large barn belonging to Mr. Raasch, several miles north from here, was moved about six to eight feet by the storm. There were some railroad men in the barn but they hurridly made their exit by breaking the door. The barn is in such a crippled condition that it is thought it will be a total loss. A LAW OF THE DESERT. With Water and Food Scarce, Extreme MeaSires Are "Warranted. It was In the camp of Bullfrog that Mitchell, the big brick red mining man of Nevada, told me his view of law on the desert: "If you are prospecting with an unreasonable hog of a partner who wants to eat three slices of bacon and half a loaf of bread for breakfast and lets the canteen gurgle down his throat while you get along with a strip of bacon and Just moisten your lips when you take a drink, then you're all right if you kill him. I'd kill him if there wasn't anything else to do. It's a tough game, and it's your life or his when you're lost or your grub stake and water are giving out." These observations are suggested by the arrival in camp two days before of the bones of a prospector who hail died of thirst some forty miles from Bullfrog during the previous summer. He had been a carpenter, earning wages of $8 a day in the new camps during the "boom," but the gold fever led him away from this safe and profitable toil. He picked up a partner, they loaded tLdr burros and trailed off south toward the Death valley country to prospect in the Funeral range. Three weeks after the desert swallowed them up the partner wandered into a freighters' camp, half crazed with thirst and exhaustion. He was able to tell the freighters that the carpenter was somewhere out beyond, lost and without water, too helpless to move. The partner was too weak and fevered to go back with the rescue party of freighters, so they left him in camp. He directed them as well as he could, but the search was bootless, and Griffin, the carpenter of Bullfrog, was added to the long list of desert victims. Several months later a party of prospectors tumbled by chance across what was left of him. There were no traces of his outfit. He had thrown away his gun, his canteen and his hat. One shoe was found thirty feet from his body, and he had torn off and flung away most of his clothing. These were the ghastly evidences of the last great fight he had made to struggle on. "When they're dying for water," said Mitchell, who knows the "desert game,' "they throw away everything until all their clothes are gone, and you generally find them without a 'teli on." Ralph D. Paine in Outing. Always In Senxon. When Hiram Bassett went down on Cape Cod to pay a visit his friends provided him with every sort of fish they could muster, and for five days he was treated to mackerel, halibut, oysters, clams, scallops and many other varieties in the best possible condition. "Well, Hiram," said his host on the day of Mr. Bassett's return to his home, "I'd like to see what you'll get Hannah to cook for you first thing when you reach home. I reckon you've had fish enough to last you for one while." "Pooh: said Mr. Bassett. "I guess you don't know anything about it. You haven't lived in Massachusetts long enough. Hannah 'II get me the same thing she always does when I've been away from home for a spell a real good mess o' codfish an potato hash. That's what Hannah '11 get me."
