"Other Pkopj.ks money" Tiksua y "Other People's Money" is not always secured and held by banks or safe de posit vaults. In the present instance it will be found in a very bright snappy and entertaining comedy play in which that very excellent artist Hennessy Leroyle will be seen at the Park Theatre, Tuesday, May 2nd. The title of the play does not conyey the idea of the manner of dramatic work it is There fore, to those who have failed to sec it on its former visits to our city, it need only be said that it is a comedy of the farcial order In other words a pure and simple farce comedy, not one of that class relying upon the specialty artist for success, but a play the story of which is rich in opportunity for amusing complications and absurdity of scenes and situations in the working out of a well developed and clever plot.

The year jnst closed has l>eei) one of generally gratifying results. The en rollment of pupils shows an increa.-e ot aiioat ten (10) per cent, over that of last year. We have experienced con siderable difficulty in securing any ma terial Iwnefit from the compulsory at tendance law. The law does not go far enough. Too high a percentage Of our pupils belong less than the whole school term. Investigation shows that a ridic ulously small number of these papils do any considerable amount of work. If it be the object of our school system to 11•'it .*lll clmhb <»* society, it is cer~ tainly A mistake to rmil and indifferent to waste a high percen tage of the school year and negative the good results of the remainder by irreg ular attendance. The year's work in the school room has been fairly good. The percentage of pnpils doing a year's work has been high except in the lower grades. Here we have been handicapped on account of the crowded condition of the rooms and an epidemic of tin asles which ron dered the attendance much broken dur ing the latter half of the year. Our school population has been increasing so rapidly that it is difficult to make school accommodations keep pace <)nr school board has endeavored to remedy this congested condition in the primary schools by a liberal increase in the teaching force for the coming year. We are much in need of a new school buiding which will no doubt be secur ed so soon as possible. General teachers' meetings wen maintained throughout the year and ii is thought some benefit resulted from them. Considering the small salaries received, our teachers are showing a commendable degree of zeal in fitting themselves more thoroughly for their duties and entering into their labors with a truly profesional spirit. We are confronted with that great difficulty of having our trained teachers leave us: as a result of which we are compelled to be continually "breaking in" new ones. This consumption of tiuu iu teaching teachers how to teach instead of in structing the pupils is a condition which renders professional teaching visionary indeed and the best results, an ever elusive chimera. Unless there is a suf ficent increase of salary to hold young people in the work, or provision is made for pensions in old age, the outlook must continue to be discouraging. During the second month of the term our high school was moved into its new quarters, where it ha* experienced a most successful year under the I fficient "management of " Principal Sernonk Ir vine. The high school enrollment was the largest in its history and will be sfill larger next year. The graduating class numbered ii -. and from the gram mar school 111. The high school is still wanting a full equipped science depart ment. This we hope to secure in the near future Prohibition Con \ cut ion.

Now the Butler Water company have decided to get more business if it is to be had in the city, and in order to do that have decided to meet the people who wish to become patrons more than half way. Heretofore it has been a serious thought that the people couldn't afford to put the water in (not the expense of the water), but the cost of connecting, laying pipes, etc. If wc can gel from fifty (50) to one hundred (100} i.ew con sumers we «il! make you this special offer.

It matters not whether you arc on n paved street or otherwise the expense is no more to you.
