Hertngtoa School District to Refund
Indetedneee.
HerlnKton. Aug.' . During the
past 611 or eight years not enough
money hat been- raised by taxation
although the levy was the limit, to
pay the running expenses of the
schools and ai a result the Indebted
ness has reached nearly f 20,000.
These outstanding warrants bear sev
en per cent. This Indebtedness has
caused the board of education much
work and the members have finally
decided to Issue bonds to the extent
of 20,000 and cancel ' all -outstand
ing warrants. .These bonds will bear
1-2 ner cent Interest thus saving
the district a neat little sum every
year In the matter of interest. The
new bond Issue Is to be paid Off at
the rate of $2,000 per year.

piled It making It accurate and com
plete. . It was much needed and' will

TO START PAVluC
COUNCIL FINDS THAT SOME PR'V
TESTS FAILED. '
Third Street, Second etucet and Back-
eye Are to Have Metropolitan
' Airs No Action ou the
- Marshalshls siatter. ' ,
. (Irom SstuTdays Dally 1 t
- The city council last night declared
paving petitions carried , on these,
streetsr ;
Second from Mulberry to Buck
eye. " - '.
Third from alley west of Brown
block to Buckeye. ' . :
Buckeye from Second to Fourth.
Protests had been signed but the
number of names was not sufficient
to constitute a majority of the prop
erty owners on the streets named and
half way to the next block on each
cross street as Is provided by law.
Cedar, Spruce, Broadway petitions
were thrown out 1. E, Brewer asked
permission to' pave in front of his
store but it was not acted upon.
On Spruce, .Broadway and Cedar
the remonstrances carried. -
An order was issued that the streets
first , named above be curbed and
paved immediately. ' ',
It was ordered that Burns ft Mc
Donnell be instructed to make plans
and estimates for, brick pavement and
cement curbing on streets ordered
paved. ,
Marslialship Again.
A long argument took place over
the marshalshlp, the council asking
Mayor Rice to appoint a marshal as
the town is now without any officer.
He said he could not find anybody
to take it. The suggestion was made
that H. O. Engle, merchants' police,
a very capable officer, whom 60 per
cent of the merchants have selected
as nigbtwatch Independent of the
city, be named, but Mr. Rice said he
would hot appoint him.
The city having no police officer is
taking chances on some big damage
suits and the councilmen are en
deavoring to avoid this as It would
be very expensive. . - .

After reading of the minutes and
passing of bills a number of petitions
were presented. A petition for a. 3rd

FORTY BUSHELS AN ACRE.
Herlngton Farm Raised a Bumper
Crop of Wheat. '
Herlngton Times: So far as we are
able to learn J. I. Kuter has the
champion wheat yield for this sec
tion, but his average may be made
to fade away as the threshing; sea
son advances. . Mr. Kuter had a field
of forty acres that made an average
of forty bushels to the acre. " He
hauled In from the machine to the
Ray Elevator where he sold It for
f 1.00 a bushel, drawing his check at
the end foi $1,600. The next highest
average for the Herlngton vicinity
was thirty-eight bushels.
Robert Ray, the elevator man, has
kept close tab on the wheat move
ment and he tells us the average
wheat yield for this section will be
twenty-eight bushels. . This Is a won
derful yield and will place the farm
ers on easy street. During the month
of July Mr. Ray paid out $12,260 for
wheat but this amount would have
been doubled and then some had the
weather continued favorable. . Much
moisture fell during the month, which
has been a great hindrance to the
threshing.
