Apportionment of school Funds.

The new school law provides for two ap-
portionments in the year, one in February
and the other in August. Owing to the fact
that the taxes do not become delinquent
this year until the 2Sth Of Feb, the amount
of money is not so great as it would have
been had the taxes all been paid in; but
this will be the means of increasing the Au-
gust apportionment. The aggregate amount
to the scholar will exceed that of last year.

Excursion No. 9.

10 the Editor OF the Ledger:
MEXICO, Mo-, September 12.-Dear Sir:
Desiring to communicate with the numer-
Gus readers of your widely circulating
paper in this and other counties, we now
ask small space permitting us to call
attention to the business enterprise which
we have recently inaugurated. Through
influential friends and the gentlemanly
managers of the Wabash, St. Louis & Pa
cific R. R., we have arranged for any de-
sired number of excursions from various
points along their extensive system of
railways to Mexico at different times
during the present fall and approaching
winter. Our sole object in projecting
and pushing forward this business enter
prise is for the purpose of securing low
rates of fare and other highly appreciated
facilities to parties in other states as a
further inducement to visit our great
State, and especially Audrain county
the banner county of this great State
that in the near future they may know
more of our State and her good people,
and the true intrinsic worth of each, thus
the more speedily determining the impor-
tant question of their contemplated change
of locality and permanent future homes.
In this we accomplish the grand object
of the good people who are seeking
homes, and those who wish to sell theil
lands. As business enterprise, it is our
object to use such means as will facilitate
these two classes in approaching each
other, and in an amicable business-like
manner make known their wants. We
have witnessed the good effect of two OF
these prearranged excursions, each fur
nishing its quota of good results in the
purchase Of lands from those who wished
to sell-the settlement in our county
good substantial citizens and intelligent
tillers Of the soil, not only adding citizens
but much material wealth to our county
and State. We feel that in the Inaugural
ton Of this enterprise We facilitate bust.
ness, and largely enhance the interests Of
both the home-seeker and the land owner
who wishes to sell his lands. Asking to
be excused If we have tresspased upon
your columns, we are
Very Respectfully,
JOHN p. CLARK & Son.

GLOBE to inform the public that iudg-
ment has been rendered against me in the
district court of Ramsey county in favor

forty-four dollars and forty-fve cents
($144.45). Now I never gave the Lake
City bank any note and never received any
value from them or from any one else on
account OF any such notes. The
notes in question were signed
by me under the solemn assurance
of the priest in charge OF the Catholic
church at Lake City that if I moved away

never have to pay the notes, while if 1 re-

Prof. Noyes addressed the assembly or
the subject of educating mutes
He first spoke of the origin of educatiay
mutes. the experiment first being made
sixty-seven years ago at Hartford, Conn.
and the early history of the movement
was outlined. The first school was opened
at Hartford, April 5, 1877. In the United
States there we're ffty-fve schools for the
deaf and dumb with an attendance of 1890
Brief mention was made of the rapid de-
velopment of mute education in this
country, and he then adverted to the recent
efforts of instructors to make mutes talk.
Prof. Noyes then referred to the object
Lessons in teaching, and he illustrated
bis subject by a class
of several boys and girls.
He first illustrated by the introduction of
q boy and girl about twelve years of age,
who had only been in the asylum five
months, and on entering their minds were
perfectly blank.

they knew its name and purpose they re-

do not believe there is any. Insiders hear,
however, that contracts were made by

A Presentation.

Mr.. II. Churchill, time keeper of the St.
Paul City railway, has been made the re-
cipient of an elegant gold chain and charm
valued at S45 from the drivers of the com
pany. The following letter accompanied
the gift:
DECEMBER, %, 1Ss2.-DEAR SIR: We,
the drivers of the st. Paul City railway de-
sire that you would accept this little pres
ent as token of our good feeling and
gratitude towards you. We hope you will
accept it, not in any consideration of its
value or usefulness, but as a souvenir, or a
something to remind yon of us when the
tide OF fortune may have separated us or
the destinies Of fate parted Us forever. Ey-
cry time you look upon it remember the
BO7s OF THE ST. PAUL CITY RAILWAY.
Mr.. Churchill desires to return through
the GLOBE his hearty thanks to the donors
of the gift, the meaning of which he fully
appreciates. He hopes the good feeling
existing between himself and the drivers
will never grow less.
