The Prepesition to Purchase this Buliding aod Grounds Should be Voted Unanimously. The School board at the annual April election, will submit the prop- osition to the voters of this district to buy the Academy for the use of the public schoo!s. asked is only $3,500. We are in- formed by persons in a position to know that the Academy building cost $5,000 and the two or three acres of | ground on which the building stands is worth from $1,800 to $2,000. Besides this the rooms, or nearly all of them are seated and ready for use. At the price offered the:e certain- ly isa big bargain in the proposition and as the district needs and must have more school room, there can be no plausible excuse for any tax-payer voting egainst the purchase of this building. In buying the Academy the publie schools would be admirably located. ove in the east, one in the west and one in tke north part of town.

A cigarette, a six pound can of powder, two store fronts demolished, four young men badly hurt and the fire department ca'led out, was the result of a practical joke at Rich Bill. Friday evening about 8 o'clock, | the central portion of Rich Hill was startled by a terrific explosion which jarred the business part of the town. On investigation it was ascertained that a six pound can of powder exploded in the gun store of |J.M Hurst. There were siz young | men in the store at the time, Oscar Hurst, Charley Carson, John Berry, | Loud McMurtry and Alonzo Hen- shaw. and the explosion was the result of a practical joke indulged in by the above named young men. Two of the boys were smoking cigarettes, one threw his half-smok- ed, in the coal bucket, and then | bantered Oscar Hurst, who held a six pound ean ef powder, to put some on the cigarette. The chal- | lenge was accepted and in an instant | an explosion followed. When tke | smoke cleared away it was found | that the store front was blown out | as was also the front to the adjoin- | ing building. Dr. Delameter and family, who cccupied the second story of the building, claimed the | damage to their apartments to be | about $200. Mre. Dalemeter, who | was standing io the middle of the room directly over the explosion, | says che was raised bodily from the |floor. Three of the boys in the building, Hurst, Carson and Berry were badly burned The acoident was a bad one and perhaps the les | son will long be remembered Clintopv, Ia, March 19.—While | burning rubbish at her home soutb- west of here, Mrs. George Risch was | burned te death by ber clothing catching on fire.
