EXAMINATIONS OF SCHOOL CHILDREN
Is Favored by the School Board, to Prevent Spread Of Diseases. EDUCATION AFTER HEALTH BOARD THINK8 THE GENERAL HEALTH IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN IMPARTING OF KNOWLEDGEPLAN PROPOSED. Dr. M. P. Johnston, president of the school board, stated this morning that at the next full meeting of tho board, the question of medical examination of school children would be taken tip and probably an order made compelling all children to be reasonably physically perfect, If they attend school. The members of the board look upon the question as an important reform. Obtaining better genera! health is every bit as important as providing general education is the general view taken of the subject by the tschool board. Carried Out Partly Now. Medical examination in the schools has been agitated for several years. In a way, it is carried out at the present time. For example, child or teacher who has symptoms of tuberculosis is ordered to stay out of school. Children with poor eye sight and other indications of disease are asked to remain at home. Dr. Johnston stated today that he did not know how soon the question would be taken uy. This depends on the return of S. S. Strattan, Jr., to the city. If the board adopts such a course, it is reasonably certain that it will be backed by the approval of every parent in the city who has a child in the public schools. OCEAN WAVES. Curious Facts About th. Irregularities of the Tides. To the ordinary landsman tides alocg the coast are most puzzling. lie has been taught that the tides rise and fall twice in the twenty-four hours and that this depends iu some mysterious way upon the moon. But when it occurs that in bis travels be sees a spot along the shore where there is no tide at all he is at a loss to explain the phenomenon. To be exact, there is only one ocean in the world where the tides follow the moou with absolute regularity. This is the great Antarctic basin, and the reason is that there and there only is to be found a sweep of water entirely uninterrupted by land. The enormous wave raised by the moon's attraction courses round the world south of Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope with absolutely nothing to break it. In the northern hemisphere great masses of land interrupt the tidal waves and, combined with the shallowness of inland seas, cause them to perform antics that seem most strange. The depth of water has much to do with tidal irregularities. Out in the open ocean, when the tide is abyssmal that is, about 5,000 fathoms the speed of the waves is amazing. Where the depth decreases to five fathoms the tide travels at a comparatively slow rate. In England, for example, which is surrounded by narrow, land broke seas, the result is that the Britons get Borne of the most terrible and dangerous tidal races and currents. The most formidable is the whirlpool between the Island of Jura and Scarba, on the west coast of Scotland. This is known as the "Caldron of the Spotted Seas." Here is a race tunning at a speed to be matched only by a mountain torrent. The force of a heavy tidal current pushing up a wide mouthed river causes what is termed a bore." The most striking example of this tidal feature is seen on the Amazon, a moving wall of water thirty feet high and reaching from bank to bank rushing inland from the ocean. New York Tribune.

He Believes In Good Advertising Therefore a Wealthy Spokane Man, Who Is Seeking a Life Partner, Will Use Such Means in Securing Her.
Spokane, Wash., Nov. 30. Deeds for a half Interest in city and country property, appraised at $250,000, will be presented on her wedding day to the woman selected as a wife by William B. NIedermeyer, a wealthy widower, with offices at 528 Rookery building, Spokane. He was born in Newark, N. J., January 21, 1851, moved to Ne braska in 1869 and came to Spokane i in 1898. He wears a full beard and boasts that his face has never felt the edge of a razor. NIedermeyer believes in advertising and he is using that means to find a life-partner. Regarding the qualifica tions of the bride-to-be he says among t other things: '"The woman I marry must be a member of the Catholic church and a good Christian; age not to exceed 85 years. She ought to have at least as much money as I possess, though thfinancial standing of the applicant does not mean as much to me as the term might suggest. Perhaps I will choose a woman who hasn't a change ON FALSE PRETENSE It Is Alleged a Bluffton Man Secured $10 From a Local Man. HE HAS BEEN CAPTURED - "Jack" Shire of Bluffton, who it is alleged, on October 2, secured $10 from John Dickerson by a fraudulent check, will be brought back to this city tonight by a special constable of Squire Beyerle's court, and prosecuted on the charge of obtaining money under a false prtense. After obtaining the money from Dickerson, Shire left the city and is reputed to have gone to Decatur where it is alleged he tried the same performance. He then went to Ft. Wayne and was arrested for public intoxication. He is now in jail in that city and it was through the Ft. Wayne police that the local officials learned of his whereabouts. It is alleged that Shire, who lives at Bluffton, while visiting Dickeson contracted a small account with him. Ha drew a check for $W on the bank at Bluffton and on October 1!, the check was returned by the Bluffton bank, stating that Shire had no funds in the bank. In the meantime he had left the town. Incomprehensible. "I hate to be contradicted." she said. "Then 1 won't contradict you," be returned. "You don't love me," she asserted. "I don't," be admitted. "You're a hateful thing!" she cried. "1 am." be replied. "1 believe you are trying to tease me," sbe said. "I am." be conceded. "And that you do love me?" j "I do." For a moment she was silent "Well." she said at last, "1 do hate a man who's weak euough to be led by a woman. He ought to have a mind of his own and strength." He sighed. What else could be do? New York Times. Though the prescription seems to have disappeared from the pharmacopoaie of modern "beauty specialists," it was for centuries notorious that to feed on snake meat was the way to win perpetual youth: to cure goiter, again or any other swelling, all that was necessary was to munch a viper, from the tail up, as it might be a stick of celery: while yet another snake, if eaten, conferred the power of understanding all the tongues of birds. Londoners live, on an average, to an age of fifty-seven years. In most parts of England the standard is below this. Those hard night coughs of the children! what shall you give them?

I gave them each an eaual amount of my property before I left Nebraska, and I have made what I own today since coming to Spokane, 11 years ago. "I expect to start on a tour of the world early next spring, and, as I have plenty of money, it will be much more pleasant to have good company. I am pretty hard to please for an old fellow, but a dashing widow stands as much chance as a young woman with
real blonde" hair and pink cheeks, even though she has not a penny to her name." Niedernieyer said he expects to be deluged with letters from all parts of the United States, and Canada; but,'' he added, "I shall give every application the attention it deserves, and if the satisfactory woman appears the result probably will be matrimony." SOUTHWEST HAS A HEAVY SNQW FALL Storm Rages So Fiercely Today That All the Traffic Is Delayed. COMMUNICATION CUT OFF SEVERAL TOWJSIS IN OKLAHOMA CANNOT BE HEARD FROM SIX INCHES OF BEAUTIFUL IN TEXAS PANHANDLE. (American News Service) Chicago, Nov. 30. A heavy snowstorm prevails in Kansas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Texas and railroad traffic is demoralized. Communication with Guymon, Beaver and other towns in Oklahoma has been lost and the extent of the storm cannot be learned. Six inches of snow has fallen over the Panhandle of Texas, and a blizzard is raging which will cause great loss of livestock if it continues. Miles of Wires Down. Over a thousand telegraph poles and several miles of wires are down on the Western Kansas division of the Rock Island and Santa Fe as the result of rain, sleet and snow. Trains on the Rock Island bound for El Paso are reported snowbound near the Oklahoma state line. Seven feet of snow is reported at Dawson, New Mexico, and the fall throughout New Mexico generally will cost, sheep men and cattle men thousands of dollars. ILLUSTRATORS' WOES. Errors That Were Pointed Out by Unfeeling Editors. "Now, what do you think of that?" asked the youthful illustrator ruefully as he tossed his comrade a letter. It was from an editor, and its mandate was stern. It said: "Dear Sir Permit me to call your attention to the importance of reading a story before attempting to illustrate it. I am aware that the modern artist does not observe this rule, but it is imperative in this office. If you will examine the text of the story sent you for illustration you will learn that the army officer mentioned is said to have taken his fishing reel out of his haversack, and you have made a picture showing this officer who, by the way, is a brigadier general with a knapsack strapped to his back. A knapsack, my dear sir, is not a haversack. Furthermore, no army officer ever carried a knapsack or ever will carry one. If the general should see your drawing he would be insulted. Will you please acquaint yourself thoroughly with the appearance of a haversack, correct your drawing and return it to this office at the earliest possible dater "Just think of having to know all such details!" exclaimed the artist wrathfully. "That's nothing," his studio comrade responded consolingly. "I made an awful break once. I painted a picture to illustrate a story in which a widow got married, and I depicted the bride in a long white veil. Of course I thought the drawing was a beauty and a wonder, and I was ecstatic over the way I had handled that effect in white. Imagine how crushed I was to hare the editor by the way, she was a woman smile witheringly and tell me that no widow ever wore a Tell when being remarried. How was I to know that? I have never been a widow." New York Press. A King's Umbrella. The kins of the Belgians once left his umbrella in a hansom when driving to Brussels. This was returned to his majesty a few hours afterward by the proud cabby, who was offered for his honesty by King Leopold the sum of 100 francs. The astute jehu. however, begged a great favor of the king. Could he have the umbrella instead of the money? The favor was granted, and before many days had passed the cabman had put up the umbrella for sale, and it was knocked down to some royal enthusiast for 1,100 francs. When King Leopold beard of this he exclaimed, WeIL Tre heard of an umbrella being put tip to keep off showers of rain, bat this seems to have been pat up to bring down showers of gold !"

Harriet W.: If your eyes feel tired and are dull and inflamed, you need an eye tonic. Dissolve an ounce of crystos in a pint of water. One or two drops of this in each eye every day is all that is needed to strengthen your eyes and make them bright and sparkling. This tonic will not smart or burn and is a great aid to those who wear glasses. It makes the eyes appear brilliant and full of expression. A friend of mine, who is on the stage, tells me she keeps her much-admired eyes beautiful by using this tonic. I find it very strengthening to weak, inflamed, dull and tired eyes and for granulated eye-lids. Miss G. F.: Your letter really amused me. You are entirely too fleshy to be charming. It is no wonder your Cash Stock Company. The Burleigh Cash company opened a week's engagement at the Gennett theater last night to acrowded house. Their opening bill of "Winchester" was a strong one, Mr. Cash's entrance on horseback being received with a round of applause. "Driven from Home" will be the bill tonight. A feature of the engagement will be the fact that the prices will be only ten and twenty cents, with daily ten cent matinees as usual. "The Prince of Tonight." Lots of pretty girls, handsome gowns, gorgeous scentry and jingly music will be at the Gennett 'soon, when Henry Woodruff, supported oy a company of over sixty people, will appear in "The Prince of Tonight." a musical fantasy in three acts; book and lyrics by Adams and Hough, music by Joseph E. Howard. Tho piece comes stamped with approval by over 200 nights in Chicago. At the Murray. A good house viewed the show at the Murray last night and judging from the applause, they were all very well pleased with the bill. It is one of the cleanest, high classed bills that has been here this season. Every act has a catchy entertaining quality that is so pleasing to the audience, yet every one of the acts are entirely different. They make a combination that is hard to beat. The famous Reckless Recklaw troupe head the bill and close the show with a comical cycle and skating act. The feats they perform on all kind of cycles and skates are truly wonderful, and they seem to perform them with such perfect ease. The comical and similar make up of the two stars is unusual and very amusing. Reiff Bros, and Murray have one of the best dancing and singing acts on the stage. Their work is so very different from the others of their caliber. It is that soft smooth, easy singing that people so like to hear. Their success in other towns,

It will clear up your blood, relieve you of that tired, lazy feeling, give you renewed energy and remove those pimples from yonr face. This tonic will put your blood in good condition and make you feel like a new woman. My experience shows this tonic an excellent one for clearing up a sallow complexion, restoring lost appetite, removing liver blotches, skin eruptions and toning up the system generally. proceeded them so It 1b positive that they really are good and appreciated and are making a hit every where they go.
