THE OLD SCHOOL HOUSE,
I
I want to go back to the old school
house,
I want to go back there today;
I want to see how the old place looks
Since the years have rolled away. }|
II
I want to go back and wander
'round
Among the rx>ma and halls, *
Where memorier of bygone days
abound,
Within those dear old walls.
III
0 dear and grand old school house
Where passed the hours of glee;
You know, not what an inspiration
That you have been to me.
IV
And achool ao dear to tny heart
When the years have pasaed away,
And you and I shall have to part.
And my hair ia turning gray.
V
1 hope you will still be standing
Inspiring boys and girls
To be true, and brave and honest
As the black and the gold that unfurl
(school colors.)

Prisoners Break Jail.
Last Thursday night the prison
era in the county jail effected their
escape by means of a wooden key
which they carved from a chair
post. Fortunately there were only
a few inmates at that time and only
two took advantage of their oppor-
tunity to regain freedom. As soon
a^ the two who escaped had made
good their get-away, the other pris-
oners informed the night jailer who
gave the alarm and a search was
immediately begun, but up to to-
day no trace had been fouad.
One of the men who escaped
ttye fellow whom Mart Miller, city
marshal of Wapanucka, brought
here some time ago charged with
larceny. He is said to have been
a bad character and was evidently
wanted in many places, according
to Mr. Miller.—Capital'Democrat.

We have heard itrumoredthat
there is a party with good finan-
cial backing, who desires to take
over the town water and light
plant and add to it an ice plant.
If this is true it seems to us that
it would be the proper thing to
give the matter consideration.
It is generally conceded that the
plant is, or at least has been,
running at a loss for some time,
though we learn that during the
past month a little better show-
ing was made in the revenue.
At present the service is much
improved and we feel sure that
all is being done that is possible
to handle the situation satisfac-
torily. Some time ago it will be
remembered (that the Trustees
were instructed by a mass meet-
ing to investigate the high line
proposition and report. Possibly
another meeting to hear a report
might be advisable, and also to
consider any other .'propositions.
This is a matter thst will have to
be looked into sooner or later,
and it seems to us the sooner the
better.
