Do not be alarmed, have no controversy

tack the text book law. How are the public

other. But I do want to set at rest, now and

and never expect to be one Of Mr.. Merrill's

Two years ago I prepared for the
Legislature, a report showing that school
books could be furnished to the children Of
the State for one-haf Of the retail price that
had been charged for more than fifteen
years and allow good profit to the authors,
publishers and booksellers. These figures
have been public property ever since, and
have never been questioned by any
DOCK puDl1Sner, ana nave been fully
endorsed by the fact that Mr.. Merrill has So
cured the books at the very prices which I
stated they could be furnished.
I have no doubt the School Districts
throughout the State, if left alone to carry
out the law, will be satisfied to trust their
school officers to execute it faithfully and
honestly, and reap the benefits in cheap
books, larger percentage of attendance, and
without 1osa tn the State conp+ioo ~ die

THE INEBRIATE ASYLUM.
Caution to Fast Drivers

Il RemO1st1tlllcc against its Conversion
into Insane Asylas9a.
The following memorial was presented
yesterday in behalf of the Board of Direct
ors of the Minnesota Temperance Union, by
Hon. ]. B. Gilhllan, of Hennepin, to the Sen
ate.
To the Senate and House of Representatives Of
the Legislature Of Minnesota.
GENTLEMEN: The undersigned Board of
Directors of the Minnesota Temperance
Union. would most respectfully memorabilia
your honorable body in harmony, as
we believe, with the sentiment of
the people of this State who
are in any way interested in the establish
ment of an asylum for inebriates, not to
for the insane, nor into any other use for
which it was not originally designed.
In furtherance of this petition we would
represent
First-That the buildings already erected
on said property, not being designed for
| the purpose of an insane asylum, are unfit
for the same.
Second That the State having declared
the enactment of the law pro-
viding for such an institution, and by its
being sustained against all attacks for five
years by each successive Legislature, that
they are, more or less, under obligation to
render assistance to inebriates, cannot now
consistently and without trial of its eff
cheney repeal such action.
Third-That as the cure of inebriates very
largely depends upon the will Of
those who are to be saved,
as well as upon pleasant surroundings during
hospital life, the plan to reserve one depart
ment for inebriates is entirely impracticable,
as no patient would of his own will 90 to
such an institution or be satisfied to remain
when there.
Fourth-That as this fund was raised by
the police power of the State, from those en-
gagged in the sale of Intoxicating liquors.
and because of the relation existing
between the inebriate and this bust
ness, as we'll as to the protection of society,
it is clear that it could not have legally been
SO collected for an insane asylum and it fol
lows as clearly that it cannot legally in
justice be so diverted now. AS this fund
was not collected from the State for the
State, it is breach of trust and an unjust
assumption of power to use it for the State
We therefore for these considerations, and
others which might be urged if deemed nee
essary, do most earnestly pray you not tt
pass any act which will in any way proven
the use of this fund for the purpose original
ly destined.

4l"dre~ Kimble'. fife Hunting Espedi.
Crookston (NIinn. Journal.

[Crookston (NIinn.) Journal.
Andrew Kimble, of Nashville, experienced
considerable difficulty in finding wife. A
friend told him that in the vicinity of st.
Cloud there was certain German girl who
would willingly accept him as partner in
the firm of matrimony if he would only go
down and solicit her hand. Without let
ter of introduction or the advantage of an
acquaintance either with the lady or her
folks, and total stranger to everybody in
that locality, he started to St. Cloud to find
the one who was to be his partner for life.
It was hazardous and ticklish undertaking,
and one which only man who is bound to
marry would think of accomplishing; but
Andrew was equal to the occasion. He ar
rived in st. Cloud and started for the home
OF the fair one, some few miles out in the
country, confident that all would be well.
Meeting traveller on the road he inquired
the way to the residence of the object Of his
search, when a conversation was opened
and Andrew was informed that
there was a marriageble girl
down the road further who would
suit him much better for wife than the one
he was hunting after. It made but little
difference to him, SO on he went to lady No.
2, but soon met another kind hearted friend
who told him that No. would not agree
with him on any religious beliefs, and sug-
gested the name of lady friend near by
who would make him an excellent wife.
Andrew then pulled up stakes and wendell
his way to the home of No. 8, bound that he
would make sure ahing of it this time
Arriving at the house, he after few brief
preiminaries made known the object of his
visit, and received the welcome promise, pro.
vided that the representations he made the
fair one in reference to means necessary te
support wife were correct. In proof of hiE
representations he invited his intended anc
her father to visit the future home and sex
for themselves. Consequently they boarded
the train and came on, took look at th'
promised land and were satisfied. The OLE
1 gentlemen witnessed the marriage ceremon,
and returned home to sell out and bring NJ
the family. That contains three NOR
daughters who want husbands.

Wee1:tY ReUieac of the st. Paul Markets.
The past week has not been very busy one among
our mercantile firms. But most Of the leading
houses report trade at least equal to last year the
same time, and some of them observe considerable
increase. This refers particularly to the dry goods
and grocery houses. The manufacturing firms are
doing but little in the way of trade but busiy pre-
pairing for the spring trade, and getting their men on
the road in anticipation Of an carly and extens i've
business.
Deliveries of grain have been on the increase dur
ing the past week with downward tendency of
prices which, however, has kept firm in this market
at IS CENTS notwithstanding lower prices depression
and general weakening In the great central markets
of the East and Europe owing to the peace negotia-
tons between Russia and Turkey. If the present
state continues, still further fall in the foreign
market ensues prices here must give waw.
The arrivals Of oats far exceeds the demand and
prices are lower; good heavy by the load 26Ac.
There is quite depression in corn. Holders are
anxious to sell at almost any price. This is owing to
last seasons crop being badly harvested, soft and
liable to rot. Large arrivals from Illinois and Iowa
find no buyers at 3Oc. Good sound hard, however,
| finds better prices. There is no old corn in the
market.
The butter market is supplied, prices de-
pressed and sales small. Eastern houses advise not
to ship at the present weakening state of the market
There have been during the past week large consgn.
ments shipped back from Liverpool to New York.
There is good demand for fresh killed. heavy
poultry of all kinds, but inferior and stale are un
salable at any price. Eggs have declined sc from ar
rivals being freer.
Dressed hogs are lower. Few packers have beer
buying during the week, and arrivals free. Prices
are quoted at 3hc for light and SIC for heavy. II
beef, too, there is little doing-considerable coming
| in but no demand. We quote good fresh killed
4a41lc.
The hay market during the week has been gluttet
with wild, which sells with difficulty at $6a9 accord
! ing to quality. Good demand for straw-oat, whea
or rye. The latter is worth $17.

A Theory BASED on q Dream

Hartford Times.
Mr.. J. L. Bragg, of Canaan, dreamed on
the night of the Tarifville disaster that he
saw man at work upon the bridge, taking
off the nuts from the end of the iron rods.
Hearing the whistle of the approaching train
the man ran off-and the next moment Mr..
Bragg heard in his dream the cars go plung-
ing down int, the river. He heard the cries
of the wounded and saw the struggles of the
dying, and in alright he woke. He also
awakened his wife, who slept by his side.
He asked her if the train had come in yet.
She did not know. Mr.. Bragg said: "It
has come, and it will not come tonight.
The bridge at Tariffville has been tempered
with and the train has been wrecked So
positive was Mr.. B. that disaster had oc-
CURED that he dressed and went to the
depot, where Mr.. Hitchcock, the station
master, informed him that the train was
overdue. Mr.. Bragg told Mr.. Hitchcock his
dream. Mr.. II. laughed at it but in con-
sequence of the dream and the occurrence Of
the disaster the story had been circulate ed
that the bridge was tempered with.

EDUCATIONAL UNION.

The East and West Division Boards Meet
and Consider the Subject, Shall We Have
One School Board for the Future.
1t has been generally understood for sew
eral days past that the School Boards of the
two divisions of the city we're to have an in
formal meeting for the purpose of discussing
the desirability Of uniting the two School
Boards of the city.
The two Boards met pursuant to agree
ment, and Judge ]. Atwater, of the West Di-
vision Board, was chosen1 chairman, and
Mrs. Winchel], of the East Division, APP
pointed secretary.
The meeting was then opened by Mr..
Chute stating the object and presenting, in q
clear and forcible manner, the advantages of
complete union of the educational
interests OF the city. The
advantages to be gained were a
lessening of expense, a uniformity of text
books, common taxation of both Divisions
for the payment for the new High School
building, and its common use by both Divis-
ions. These and many other suggestions
were offered by Mr.. Chute, looking to the
favorable consideration of the subject of a
closer union.
Mr.. Ankeny was in favor of the union OF
the Boards of Education, but there were
other important matters to be considered
Our union of six years ago was not perfect
union, and one should be made totally wipine
out the present distinctions of East Division
and West Division in our municipal affairs
1t was wrong that the Mississippi rive1
e1,~ No. 0,,,
ward boundaries should run from east II
west, crossing the river. There should no
be two assessors nor two fire departments
All these matters seemed to crowd in upo1
us when the question of union is to be con
sidered. Anything which looks to NOR,
perfect union is in the right direction, ant
while it is thought one thing should be don,
at a time, it is certainly best not to ignor,
these other questions, in which the peopl
are much interested.
Mrs. Van Cleve was in favor of the union
She also believed in the abrogation of al
lines between the two divisions, and though
that the union Of the School Boards woul,
do more than anything else to bring abou
this much to be desired result. In relation
to election of directors, she wanted that svs
tenn adopted which would secure the service

Mayor De Laittre, who was present, ez
pressed himself as favorable to the union.
Messrs. Atwater and Grimshaw, of til
West Division, opposed the union of til
boards, on the ground that both were doin
well enough as it was.
Mr.. Gale favored union, if plan coul
be adopted that would be considered fair an
equitable,
