was never polled. Every man in the house who was a citizen of Lincoln township voted in the affirmative. The Clyde people did not favor the project.
On the Ioth day of June, 1879, a special election was held in Con- cordia for the purpose of voting upon the question of a subscription of stock and issue of fifty-six thousand dollars bonds to the Junction City & Fort Kear- ney Railroad Company by the township of Lincoln. The bonds were carried by a majority of two hundred and eighty-eight in Lincoln, and fifty-five in Lawrence.
The result was gratifying to the people of Concordia, as it meant more enterprise would find its way to their. city. Not a single Concordian voted against the bonds.
January 1, 1881. trains on this railroad stopped running into Concor dia. The turn table was taken up and removed to Clyde, the depot locked and the agent went to Kansas City, and no more business was transacted. The doors and windows were nailed up and the tall, rank weeds grew in profusion about the place. What was once the busy depot was given over to grim desolation. The Kansas Pacific Railroad was said to have "gob- bled up" fifty-six thousand dollars worth of bonds, and given Concordia. Lawrenceburg and Clyde the "slip." The next move was to devise a wa: to keep from paying the bonds voted. W. E. Reid journeyed to St. Louis where, in an interview with Jay Gould and S. H. H. Clark, general manager of the Union Pacific Railroad, in reference to the bonds voted to the Fort Kearney road by Lincoln, Lawrence and Elk townships, they assured him they would give the matter due consideration, and that the road should be operated to Concordia, or the bonds, or their equivalent be returned to the tax payers of the townships named.
In July, 1881, the report was circulated that the railroad was coming to Concordia by the way of Belleville without bonds or aid. As per agres ment, the Burlington & Missouri River Railway people kept out of Kansas as long as Jay Gould kept out of Nebraska, but the Missouri Pacifie was to be extended to Omaha, and the proposition to intersect as many of Jay Gould's lines as they could and make war against monopoly as a conse- quence.
In the the autumn of 1879, railroad fair was reduced from four to three cents.
Cloud county now has communication from all points of the compass. A branch up the Republican Valley to Scandia and northward, connecting with the Burlington and Missouri Railway; also a line extending from Jamestown to Jewell City. Mankato and Burr Oak. The Kansas Pacific built a branch through the Solomon valley and established stations at Glasco and Simpson. The Kansas Central completed its line into Starr township, with the terminus at Miltonvale. The Burlington and Missouri Pacific ex- tended their lines from Odell via Hanover. Washington, Cuba and Wayne, to Concordia.

Concordia is now one of the most flourishing railroad centers in nortli- west Kansas. The Burlington and Missouri, Santa Fe, Union Pacific and the Missouri Pacific give it connection with the east, west, north and south.
ORGANIZATION OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
To Honorable John B. Rupe, of Clyde, belongs the distinction of hav- ing organized the first school district in Cloud county, which was inaug- urated on July 15, 1868. It will be remembered Mr. Rupe was the first acting county superintendent of schools, as Doctor Lear, who was appointed, did not qualify. Mr. Rupe in this instance, acted fairly, as char- acterizes all his dealings, and gave the Elm Creek settlement, where the first school was taught, the first number. which it still retains. District No. I is in the vicinity of Ames and have just completed a very excellent new building.
Upon the same principle Mr. Rupe gave the Elk Creek settlement the next numeral in line and it has likewise retained the original No. 2. When No. 2 was organized the territory included was all of what is now Elk township.
The next in order, No. 3. is directly south of the city of Clyde, and includes the eastern part of Shirley township. The territory now occupied by the Concordia schools is District No. 4, but when it was created by Mr. Rupe he was generous enough to include all that part of Cloud count. lying in Buffalo and Sibley townships-about one-third of the entire county.
District No. 5 was Glasco and the Solomon Valley settlement. Dis- trict No. 6 is the territory south of the Solomon river, in Solomon town- ship known as the Dalrymple settlement. District No. 7 included the Lake Sibley settlement, but was afterward divided. No. 7 holding the territory east and the Sibley number became 16. No. 7, owing to some differences that arose, was divided, one part thrown into the Sibley district and the remaining portion to the district on the east. The Oak Creek community immediately east of Concordia became No. 8. The Meredith neighbor- hool, located on Pipe creek, was instituted as No. 9. No. 10 was the Law- renceburg district on Salt creek, and No. If on Wolf creek.
The districts named are known as the pioneer schools, and after they were organized others were formed in adjacent territory as the settlement advanced along the borders.
A three months' term of school was required of each district before they could draw the state fund, Mr. Doran, who was the third acting superintendent of the county, reports that he gave certificates to boys and girls of very youthful age who constantly raised their grades, several of them becoming very proficient. The bachelor's situation was not a very enviable one in those days, and to extort their share of quota from some of them a penalty was established. "They could not call on the school

ma'm." In many of the districts many of the married ladies were em- ployed and taught in their own homes. There are at the present time one hundred and six organized school districts in Cloud county, and the following joint districts : No. 1. Cloud and Mitchell counties ; No. 2. Cloud and Mitchell counties; No. 1, Cloud and Republic counties; No. 93. Cloud and Republic counties: No. 1. Cloud. Washington and Republic counties ; No. 2, Cloud, Washington and Republic counties ; No. 1, Cloud, Clay and Washington counties; No. 29, Cloud and Ottawa counties; No. 93. Cloud and Ottawa counties.
The tax is levied by the people themselves, and cannot exceed 20 mills. Some of them are low and are only able to conduct a six months' school, and this with probably inexperienced teachers. These districts, however, are in the minority and are the exception, not the rule.
The highest tax levied is in the following districts: No. 3. 20 mills ; No. 24. 20 mills ; No. 72, 20 mills; No. 81. 20 mills; No. 86, 20 mills: No. 20, 20 mills ; No. 34. 20 mills ; No. 76, 20 mills; No. 85, 20 mills.
GRADED SCHOOLS, -
No. 2, Clyde, 17 mills; No. 5. Glasco, 18 mills; No. 97, Miltonvale, 20 mills ; No. 4, Concordia, 15 mills; No. 32. Jamestown, 1532 mills: No. 104, Aurora, 20 mills.
The only schools in the county that did not reduce the teachers' wages during the "panicky" years were Glasco and Hollis.
The following are the lowest levies of school districts: District No. 8. 5 mills ; district No. 14, 6 mills; district No. 65, 6 mills: district No. II, 6 mills; district No. 47, 6 mills.
There is a Webster's Unabridged Dictionary in every district in the county except six, and a public library in all but thirteen. These com- mendable auxiliaries are placed there by teachers generally who have given special entertainments for this purpose, often clearing from forty to fifty dollars in an evening. The general character of the library books are his- torical works and nature studies. Twenty-seven or more school houses have organs that have been supplied in a similar way.
· Twenty-nine per cent of the citizens of Cloud county are enrolled in the public schools.
The present and unprecedented prosperity in Kansas is very marked in the school work of the state. Many new buildings are being erected, old school houses enlarged or remodeled, sanitary conditions improved and many of them take pride in furnishings and beautiful surroundings. Among this number is the Eureka school district No. 68. The house was erected in September, 1901. The author visited the school in the autumn of that year and found Miss Rachel Rogers installed as teacher, with an enroll- ment of but nine scholars, with an average attendance of the same number, and this is a total of the children of school age in the district. But it is 9

of the cheerful atmosphere prevailing in this modern country building that the writer thinks worthy of note. There are but two rows of seats, ample room for the pupils and visitors, too. The building fromts the west and has four large windows on the east and two of the south, which lend a bright and sunny glow to the room. It is heated by a furnace or stove, encased with brick, where the student can always feel the warmth from the hot- air registers, although winter's blas's may blow without. Sketches and pictures adorn the bright walls, flowers and potted plants, mostly the gifts of pupils, give color to the interior This is, perhaps, one of the most com- plete country school buildings in the county. "Prairie Gem" or district No 34, is also among the best, as the illustration shows. No. 77 is entitled to the honor of turning out the greatest number of teachers.
AAnother leader in this direction is district No. 7.
There are many exceptional records made throughout the county and mention is made of some of them in the history of the various graded schools.
District No. 31 did not have a tardy mark the entire year-1902. The "Eureka school." also mentioned above, got through two months and three weeks with neither absence nor tardy.
CLOUD COUNTY GRADUATES IN THE TH AND STH GRADE WORK.
