The school board is making ar- rangements to paper and paint the west school hcuse. This is a good move and will not only add to the looks materially, but preserve the! building. Under the new law which has re- ceived the signature of the governor, county assessors hereafter elected will hold tueir office four years in- stead of two. This law does not apply to counties under township | organization. The members of the Christian church at Nevada will build a new and handsome church edifice. The! plans for the new house have been drawn and accepted. The new building is to have a seating capac.) ity of 1000. We are glad that the rumor in circulation in the city Friday and Saturday to the effect that a young man in the northwest part of the; county had been shot and killed turned out to be a false report. We understand the grand jury | raked the drug stores in the county | fore and aft for selling whiskey ille- | gally.

Get. | wedding was declared off. The in- dictment and arrest then followed. reported to be under age,is a serious one. The constable of the township had young Bailey in charge and while hunting bondsmen we under- stand gave the officer the slip, and lit out for parts unknown. From parties from the neighborhood we are informed that both Bailey and the girl victim are orphans. Itisa bad affair and Bailey should be made to pay the penalty so justly due young men who would take advan tage of an innocent child. Why Not You?
