BOARD OF EDUCATION.

The Old Organization Closes Up Its Busi-
ness Preparatory to Retirement-Report
of Chairman of Committee ON Schools
Resignation of Prof. Willis-Report Or
dered Printed.
The board Of education met in monthly
session last night, Inspector Scheffer in the
chair. Present inspectors Donnelly, Hagan,
Dufrene, Benz, Withey, Cullen, supt.
Wright and Secretary Nc Cardy.
A petition was read from q number of
voters and property owners in the Fifth
ward asking for the construction of school
in Perry's addition to ST. Paul, on the
grounds that the nearest school house is too
inconvenient for small children.
On motion of Inspector Benz the petition
was referred to the new board.
q A communication was read from Mr.. G.
Il. Otis in reference to the complicated titles
of the Franklin school property grounds.
Referred to the committee on property.
The monthly school report was then read
by Prof. Wright, showing that the schools
OF the city were in q fourishing condition
and that the degree of deficiency had never
been higher. ..t..
After adverting to the attendance, scholar
ship and general efficiency of the scholars,
Prof. Wright spoke of the propriety of
changing the school terms, so as to make
the school year consist of forty weeks, clos
ing at tue 1st of January and the 1st of
June. The necessity of additional school
facilities in the Fourth ward was adverted
to, and a new school was proposed to accom-
modate that part of the city.
The report embodied the following state
ment of the enrolment, percentage OF at
tendance and number of cases of tardiness
at the annexed schools:

Fort Smelling Bridge

A meeting of the bridge commission was
held at o'clock yesterday afternoon, Mayor
Dawson in the chair. Present, Messrs.
Knaphide, Lindlke, Cochran and Engineer
Sewall. A letter was read from United
States Engineer, Maj. Allen, in which the
statement was made that he had received a
report from Inspector Wells concerning the
satisfactory condition. of the stone work of
the bridge, in which he fully concurred. On
motion the letter was engrossed on the OIL
cial records of the commission.
A conversation followed, during which
great satisfaction was expressed at Maj.
Aliens approval of the stone work of the
bridge, as the commission will now be en-
abled to discharge the obligations incurred
in constructing the bridge. s.
The selection of q line for the proposed
road to connect the bridge and Fort roa
was then taken up, and after short dis
cussion it was decided to adjourn until z
o'clock, when the members of the commits.
sion took carriages and visited the bridge il

The evidence accumulates that there is
not a steamboat on Lake Mnnetonka which
is safe. Capt. May makes out pretty
good case against lie boats, other than his
own, and though he may be actuated by
business rivalray, his representations are
quite likely true. His own boats, which he
claims are secure, are reported just the re-
verse by others. Aid. Glenn, of Minneapo-
lis, denies that the boiler of the Hattie May
was ever submitted to any such test as Capt.
May claims, and he (Glenn) was
foreman of the North Star works
for years. In fact, Mr.. Glenn says that
the boiler which Capt. May claims gave
his boiler 2OS pounds test never carries over
100 pounds, and rarely more than rs pounds.
The Minneapolis Tribune also states that
the Hattie May and saucy Kate have never
had the inspection which Capt. May claims.
This downright Misrepresentation of Capt.
May to GLOBE reporter, and also to others,
confirms the suspicion that his crack boat,
the Hattie May, is also in dangerous con-
dition, and that he hopes to direct attention
from his own boats by deorying the others.
The safe way is for the public to keep of
from all of these death traps,
until the owners are willing
to place them under government surveil-
ance, and not only have them duly inspected
but also employ regularly licensed engineers.
Only those who wish to commit suicide will
venture on the Hattie May or any other Min
netonka beat, without these conditions be-
ing complied with. -.s.

Heroic Assault on a Stuffed Image.
An amusing joke was going the rounds
yesterday, whereby the laugh was had at the
expense of a well known citizen residing on
Exchange street near the Athen@um. Re-
turning from tho High school commence
ment exercises at the Opera House night
before last, the hero of this Ger true mar
rative repaired to his apartment and was in
the act Of disrobing when couple of female
domestics rushed into the room with
the startling announcement that the
house was infested by robbers
Selling a lamp and q trusty six-shooter the
excited citizen prepared him for the, fray.
With two trembling and apparently fright
ened females clinging to the skirts Of q
flowing night gown, the line of march was
taken for the rendezvous of the supposed
intruder. Turning an angle in the hallway
the midnight procession was suddenly con-
fronted by something in the dim distance
that looked very much like the figure of man.
council of war was held, during which the
females endeavored to persuade the war
rior not to shoot, but with soul in arms and
thirsting for the fray, the doughty chief ad-
vanced to the combat. Several halts were
made, and after calling upon the enemy to
surrender and receiving no response, the
leader of the procession was emboldened,
with unparalleled rashness, to approach the
outlaw.
An effort was made to converse with the
individual, and after several unsuccessful at
tempts our valiant hero thrust his revolver
at the anatomy of the supposed parsonage,
when the perpendicular form dropped to the

Encouraging Outlook Of Iowa Crops.

Encouraging Outlook of Iowa Crops.
BURLINGTON, Iowa, June 29.-The HUaok-
eye this morning published dispatches from
over seventy points in southern Iowa and
western Illinois contiguous to Burlington
where harvesting is just commencing. But
little wheat has been cut as yet, but the yield
SO far is excellent, both as to quality am,
quantity. In southwestern Iowa the chincn
bug has done some damage, and in other To-
calities there is occasional complaints of
rust, but upon the whole the yield will be
nearly if not quite up to the average. Corn
is in splendid condition, and promises the
largest yield that has been had for several
years. There is an increased acreage, and
the average per acre is much higher. Oats
are in good condition, but the stand is light
in many places. Hay, which promised less
than half a crop during the dry weather, has
been, greatly helped by the copious June
rains and will now yield two-thirds crop.
In some localities there has been an excess
of moisture, but upon the whole the reports
are encouraging, and farmers and business
men are feeling greatly encouraged at the

people of the country. It is utterly unjus-
tifiable on grounds of oorstitutionality or
public policy. 1t is an assumption on the
part of Mr.. Hayes that he is not only the
executive but the law. making power of the
government, and that Congress is assembled
but to do his bidding. It is an assertion
of the one-man power in its most offensive
form.
In passing the bill in the shape in which
it was vetoed, Congress exercised q lawful
prsrogative- that of providing for the sus-
tenance of such officials as it deemed essen
tial and of refusing to provide for those that
it deemed unnecessary. Mr.. Hayes, however,
takes the position that Congress must provide
for whatever officers he may wish to be cared
for, whether they are necessary to the proper
execution of the laws or not. He has there
fore committed himself to the policy of e1-
pending the money of the people uselessly,
and he and his party must bear the blame.
The future course of Congress is outlined
by the proceedings detailed elsewhere. There
will be no backdown, but Congress will ad-
journ without passing the bill, leaving the
marshals to look to providence and Mr..
Hayes for their pay. The dependence will
be but slight, but if they dislike it they
must make the best of it.

IT was wholly unnecessary for the dis
patches to deny the existence of an agree
ment between Mr.. Hayes and certain mem
bers of the Southern delegation in Congress,
to the effect that if he would approve the
Mississippi river Improvement bill they would
sustain him in setting at defiance the will of
the majority as to the enactment of the po-
litical legislation. No one of sense believed
any s1ch report, and the denials, positive
and circumstantial, of the parties supposed
to be concerned, only adds emphasis to the
public conviction.

CONGRESS will adjourn to-day, having
passed all the appropriation bills with the
single exception of the one providing pay for
United States marshals. Mr.. Hayes having
preferred to leave them without funds rather
than abridge Johnny Davenport's infamous
election game in New York, must accept the
responsibility before the country. We are
glad Congress refuses to give him a dollar
for the marshals, unless he will consent to
it's legitimate use.
