WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE act pass.
ed by the late session OF Congress, relieves
from the charge OF desertion now standing
against them, certain soldiers who were
not regularly mustered out, and entities
them to pay and bounty. The exceptions
are that no soldiers nor their heirs, nor
the legal representatives Of any soldier
who served in the army less than six
months, or who Intentionally deserted,
shall be entitled TO the benefit Of the act!
By an error in the enrolment the proviso
reads less than twelve months, instead
OF six; consequently about 5000 persons
will be deprived Of the benefit OF this most
just law until Congress meets and rectifes
the error. The law, as it. now stands, will
continue in force, those who served twelve
months receiving its full benefits, while
those who enlisted six or nine months
prior to the close Of the war, will have to
wait awhile, BY reason OF the erroneous
enrolment. IS f.Is -'s

which was dta late hour; however it was

More Schools Wanted.

Mr. Wright, superintendent Of public instruction,
has notified the committee Of the board of education
tnat 1t will be necessary for the board te make ar
rangements for increasing the facilities for accom-
modating the increased number Of pupils that will
apply for school accommodations this coming fall:
He says the Van Buren, and Washington school
buildings will have to he enlarged certain. and prob.
ably other school buildings. 1t was but short
time ago that the Washington had large addition
put on to It. No one at that time could think it
would be necessary enlarge that school again, and
especially so soon, Yet that necessity Is upon us
1t is no'l large enough to-day and must be made
larger at once. 1t is hoped that the West St. Paul
school building will be sufficient for while, but it Is
not at all unlikely that this too viii have to be en-
larged. The board will be called on, probably to
make large additions to the seating capacity OF the
school buildings.
