SAE PI aa ISR 8, 1902 Suddenly. gO NS The Union High School O MANY OF OUR READERS genes We ae the team he,was driving ran away and formed concerning the feasibility and method of establishing a Union High School that a few words concerning the manner of such establishmeni may. be of real interest and value to those who care to see Nevada City with a High School second to none in the State. The following is in brief the law on the subject: “When the heads of families equal in number to-a ma~ jority in each district residing in two or more contiguous school districts in the same county * * shall unite ina petition to the County Superintendent of Schools for the establishing and maintaining of a union high school district, he shall, within twenty days after receiving said petition, call an election for the determination of the question, and shall appoint three qualified electors in each of the districts petitioning to conduct the election therein. * * lots at such election in each district shall contain the words ‘For the union high’school,’ and the voter shall write or print after said words on his ballot the word ‘yes,’ or the word ‘no.’ * * * “Within ten days after receiving the returns of said election, the Superintendent of Schools shall combine the votes ‘for,’ and ‘against’ the establishment of the high school! district and declare such result by filing a certificate thereof’ with the County Clerk. * * “If a majority of the votes cast in the districts petitioning fora union high school shall in the aggregate be in favor of establishing and maintaining a union high et therein, the County Superintendent shall, within fifteen days after receiving the returns of the election held therein, dij rect the Board of Sureties in each of said districts to call i meeting of the qualified electors of their respective district * %* , At said meeting the qualified electors shall in each district select one representative. * * * * “In union high school districts composed of two school districts, the high school board shall be composéa of one member elected from each district composing the high school district. * * *” There is at present maintained in Nevada City a Hig school on a standing with the best in the State, accredited b the University and increasing its list of accredited subject each year. . More than twenty-five of its students come from outlying districts and it seems to us that it will be as much to thd interest of the outlying districts as it will be to Nevada City to see maintained a school which shall be a source of pride As far back as the year 1862 a High School was started in this town, Is Nevada City now, after forty years of suc! cess, willing to say that she has ceased to believe in highei education? Is she willing to let her high school lapse? No, we sincerely and confidently believe not. She wil; rather say, “LET US UNITE TO FORM AN A No. 1 FULLY EQUIPPED Union H1GuH ScuHoot.”? #2#4ea48444444446 The Sunday Question. ° HE DIFFERENCE OF OPINION between people on the Atlantic and those on the Pacific Coast in respect to the observance of Sunday are rapidly disappearing. Not many years ago it was assumed that in time the Pacific Coast would conform to the Atlantic Coast standard of Sunday observance. It seems, however, that a more extended experience with the Pacific Coast idea is bringing the most rigid of our Eastern friends to our way of thinking. Aa example of this trend of Eastern thought is found in a letter of Mr. George D. Chamberlain of Springcity. While Mr. Chamberlain is chairman of the Committee of Massachusetts Congregational Churches on Sunday observance, he advocates the opening of libraries on Sunday, and approves of Sunday excursions from the city to the country. He would like to see every schoolhouse in a large city open to the public on Sunday for purposes of recreation, In some of the schoolrooms he would have such entertainments as concerts and illustrated lectures, and in others a good assortment of children’s playthings: This letter leads the New York Evening” Post to remark: “Only those who remember the strength of Sabbatarianism among the descendThe bal-. : . . gored by a vicious cow this morning pe oe Sle re Rue pe te) Cooper f the uanee to, im e (OL BONE ae that Colonel E.

He went to Dayton for the benefit of his health and was apparently gutting along nicely, when he was guddenly taken off. Colonel Boyle, who was a good man in every sense of the word, lived at this city about four monthe some two years ago, aud made many friends among Our'people. While here he was engaged in operating the Hussey mine at Willow Valley. Constitutional Amendments, The present session of Congress is remarkable for the number of proposed amendments to the Oonstitution that have been introduced, ' Their number is about fifty, and the folluwing are some of the important ones: Election of Senators by the popular vote. and co-partnerships, Inauguration Day in April. Taxing power of Congress enlarged or restricted. Income tax sanctioned. ‘Woman suffrage, ~ Anarchy a high crime. Fifteenth Ameendment repealed, Treason defined. Polygamists diaqualified for Congress.

The Cow Was Wild Orovitte, Feb, 7—Mrs. Ed Snow was at her home near the depot and badly bruised and cut. The accident was the resylt of some trouble with a calf, It seems that Mr. Snow, who is down from Kimshaw milked the cow this morning and not -knowing the usual practice made the mistake of turning the calf loose. Later, when some boys came to drive the cow to pasture, they had trouble td separate the cow and calf. Members of the family took a hand epdafter a time the calf was caught and tied up, The cow had: become frantic by this time, and when Mrs. Snew appeared she rushed at her and threw her inte-the alr. One born penetrated the body inthe region of the stomach, and for atime it was feared she was badly hurt. She was badly bruised, Delay Bad for Him. Los AnGe.zs, Feb. 7th—Nathan McLeau who was sentenced by Judge T, Smith in May, 1900, to serve ten years in San Quentin for embezzlement, has been taken to that place to serve his sentence. He hae been in the County Jail for three years and two months, having been arrested in December, 1899, for embezzling $900 worth of jewelry and diamonds from L. B. Oohn An unsuccessful ‘appeal to the Sapreme Court has kept bim in jail here, Had he not appealed, two years of his sebtence would have been saved.

It was generally expected that the game would be a close one and that both players would make 8 high average, but instead of this the game was a long-drawn-out one, the Oalifornian having to play seventyseven innings before he had counted the desired'4(0 points.
