= SCHOOL MArrlRs.-The Board Of Educ

= Of voting $1,000 for tho maintenance
II schools in the city during tho year; .,
also to authorize tho issue Of bonds to Il
y amount Of SIC, 900 for tho erection Of
y graded school house. It is earnestly hop,
d that both viii meet with tho unanimo,
r support Of the people. In no way q
money be so judioiously and beneficial
expended as in tho construction of sohoo
houses and the support Of first class school
In this particular St. Cloud is somewh,
behind number Of tho other towns in Ii
State. We need 6rst-olass graded sohoo

ward.
! \ two-story dwelling house. S2xs6, in
Browns Additionally J. c. Wilson.
A dwelling house in Browns addition
by D. Burr.
Also, in the same addition, a dwelling
house-by Mr.. Morgan.
HOTEL PRo,Ecr.-The want Of better no.
tel accommodations has long been felt.
With tirst-class hotel, both in size and
style of keeping, St. Cloud would become
one Of the most popular places of resort in
the State during the summer and fail
months. It is an investment which could
not but pay handsomely. Realizing the
necessity for some such improvement, Mr..
J. E. Hayward, proprietor Of the Central
House, proposes tearing away the front Of
his hotel building, and putting up a large
three-story brick in its place, to be finish
ed and furnished in the best style. It is
to DO hoped this win DO done during the
present season. Something Of this kind
must be done soon, or our town will contin-
ne to suffer andin still greater degree
than it has already.
A meeting Of citizens will be held at
Gordon & Collins Office on Saturday even
ing, At 8 o'clock, to talk over the matter
and hasten the completion Of the work.
CRoPs.-We have none but the most fav-
orable reports concerning crops in this
part Of the State. The weather has, NEST
OF tho time, been intensely warm, but the
frequent rains have kept the grain in good
order, while the clear atmosphere and fresh
breezes have prevented rust. Barley is a.
ready being cut, and wheat will DO ready
for the harvesters in another week. The
yield will be heavier than for many years.
The corn looks better than was ever before
known in the State. Potatoes will turn
out well, the damage from the bug being
but slight, and then only il scattered
places. On the whole, = more promising
harvest could scarcely be asked for, than
will be gathered by the farmers Of North
ern Minnesota this season.
DECIDED ADvERsE1Y.-By the following
paragraph, clipped from the Supreme
Court decisions Of Tuesday, it will be seen
that the suit of this city against the rail-
road, with regard to building bridge
across the river, has been decided adverse
lyto the former:
The State of Minnesota 81. rel. The
Town Of St. Cloud, appellant, %. The First
Division Of the St. Paul and Pacific Rail-
road Company, respondent; appeal from
order, Stearns county. Judgment of the
Court below affirmed. Oscar Taylor, VIM.
8. Moore, and Mssterson and Simons. A.
tornsys for appellant; Bigelow and Clark
for respondent.
We presume that the matter will rest
here, at least for the present.
