conclusion of which Chief Strong was in
structed to procure some information
concerning the big fire engine at Boston

of the department came up, and it was
decided to request the members to pur-
chase blue suits for summer wear, as
nearly alike as possible.

following: That Chief Strong be author

of the department.; that the city clerk
advertise for bios for an extra large size
engine, and for the construction of els

Glencoe Enterprise: Mrs. Lemoske, wife

LemOske had for some time past been very
cruel, beating her shamefully only a short
time before her death, and as the suspicion OF
the citizens was aroused that all was not
right, a request was made for an inquest; but
the coroner, Matthew Weihl. first consulted
the county attorney, who did not deem the
application sufficient for an inquest. At last
the matter was dropped, the woman buried
and the husband has left the country.

Housing the High School, all the Question
at Issue-4 Plea for Broad and Tolerant
Action
To the Editor of the Globe.
In the interests of all parties I beg to
suggest whether we are not making Of
the High school question needless mat
ter of difference between citizen and citi-
zen. l respect every mans views as to
education, its extent and aim, and l ex-
pect the same from others for my own
views. But it does not seem in this case
wise to arouse bitter feeling, and above
all, is sectarian feeling uncalled for. 1t
is question of housing school, now es-
tabllshed thirteen years, and incorporated
as part of the system of free schools here.
1t is not question whether High school
shall be created. l may agree with 9TH
ers or not, as to whether such school
should form part of the school system,
but when asked to properly house an ex-
listing school, on the ground that the
health of the scholars demands it, and
| also that it is more costly and inconven-
| lent to rent rooms, why then cannot see
why [ should not favor erecting the
building asked for. In my judgment this
is far simpler matter than it has been
made to appear by advocates or oppon-
ents thus far. take no sides in the
premises, as Catholic or Protestant,
have no differences either with Bishop
Ireland or DR.. Dana on the question
Each is entitled to their own opinion, and
each has courteously and openly
avowed it. But as sanitary and econ
omical measure, l propose to favor
| the High school building. have no con-
| troversy to maintain with any about the
theory on which the school rests, I pass
that, and meet rather the issue now
raised, that the school is entitled fol
good reasons to house, like other schools
l don't mean to be unjust to any one, mol
ask others to do what am not willing to
do. 1t would be wrong to keep the 20(
scholars of this school where they are
and shall not refuse a reasonable re-
quest like this of our board of education
to provide wholesome and commodious
| accommodations for it. The material ano
| educational advantages of the school are
| great, and the city we all take pride in
needs such to keep it well abreast of those
competing for the lead in the northwest
think all having at heart the good OF
the city should keep out of this question
all religious jealousies and sectarian diff
ferences. We should meet it as loca
matter, on the broadcast grounds Of pub
lie policy, and do what we do with good
will to all. l hope to see the measure
generally endorsed by citizens of all po-
litical affiliations, and every church. This
| is not PARTISAN matter, and there are
= e., ~ e. -
utterly in respect to politics and religion
Ii met in this spirit, it will be generally
| dealt with, and st. Paul citizens can be
trusted to do what is wise and liberal
Certain, it is, that we ought not to allow
any other feeling to actuate us than those
which are kindly, nor should any one be
criticized or censured who favors or op-
poses it in an open and manly way, an6
who has at heart the good estate of city
we wish to see the peer of any.
