A oasual glance at tho above report
would rovoal an apparent deficiency in
the oost ot the sohool for this year, but
by carefully scrutinizing tbo exhibit it
oan be plainly seen that instead of a
deficit for the year there Is really a
surplus. Tho cost of conducting the
sohool is $5152.51 while the funds on
hand, after borrowing a.'uus.Bi irom
the sohool to apply to oost of furnish
ing the building, are $51)20.37, leaving
a balance of 1767.50 above the expenso,
whloh added to tho (-2698.87 borrowed
from the sohool fund would have re
sulted in a surplus of $3466.37 over and
above the actual cost of oonduotlng the
sohool. Of oourse there Is to be paid
out ot the surplus the interest on the
bonded Indebtedness, whloh will, on
ncaount of the expenso of furnishing
tho sohool houso, leave a dofioit of a
small amount.

From Cripple Creek.
After the big fire in Cripple Creek,
1 took a severe cold and tried many
remedies without help, the cold only
becoming more settled. After using
three small bottles of Chamberlain's
Cough Bemedy, both the cough and
cold left me, and in this high altitude
it taxes a meritorous cougn remedy to
do any good. G. B. Henderson, editor
