The building in which they were sleep

MONTHLY REroRL OF PRINCIPAL

Members Of The Board Of Education.
GENTLEMEN: have the honor to pre-
sent, herewith, my report of the Ian
caster Public School for the month end
ing Feb. 2, 1888.
The attendance, though unusually
poor is bat a commentary on the ex-
tremely severe weather, and the prevail
ence of mumps and other sickness.
There has been more earnest effort on
the part OF the students to be regular
and punctual than at any previous time
during the year; but circumstances have
been extremely adverse. There have
been thirty cases of the above mention
ed disease in the School during the
month. Sympathy for the teachers, as
well as pupils, is evidently deserved.
There has been considerable diff
Guilty in heating the school-rooms suf-
ficiently. For this reason two of the
departments were dismissed a part of
one day. Chapel exercises have been
frequently relinquished, and classes
that should recite in the Chapel have,
a number OF times, been intermitted or
heard at the expense of others in rooms
+. and +. Nevertheless, there is con-
ISOLATION in the TACT that similar diff :
Guilty has been experienced in thou
sands of other places during the same
period, and a large number of schools
have been suspended on account of the
cold.
New classes have been started in the
High School this term in U. S. History,
Nat. Philosophy, Botany. and a special
class in Latin. There are now eighteen
students pursuing Latin. My method
i'll Botany is to present the instruction
of this term mostly, if not wholly, by
lectures and blackboard illustration.
from which the class is required to take
notes and pass examination thereon.
During the spring term the work will
be more %exacting; lessons win be as
signed from a textbook and abundent
opportunity will be given o rfamiliarity
with the plants themselves.
would respectfully call your atten-
ton to the lack of philosophical appara-
tus for satisfactory illustration of the
natural and physical science.
Your attention to the matter will be
sufficient to convince you of the needs
of the School in this matter.
A School Literary Society has been
started and promises well for the well
fare of the School. Invite your atten-
tentions to its purpose and methods.
0ne-half of the school-year has lust
ended. | would be glad if more had
been accomplished during the past
months and yet ampersuaded that there
are some gratifying results for this per-
Rod, and am not without hopes for
still better results for the future.

Sabin Secures the Seat.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, February l.-At 4
O'Clock this afternoon, on the twenty
ninth joint ballot, Dwight NJ. Sabin, of
Saltwater, q member of the lower House
was elected United States Senator to
succeed Window. Mr.. Dwight NJ.
Sabin, Senator elect, is thirty-eight
years of age, a native of Illinois, who
came to Minnesota in 1868. He was
born at Marseilles, H., and is the only
surviving child. When thirteen years
of age his parents removed to Connec-
ticut. In 1862 he returned to Illinois,
but in 1868 went to Virginia and enlist
ed, being assigned to'the charge of an
ambulance corps. Sickness compelled
him to resign. He returned to Illinois
remaining until the latter part of 1867,
in the vicinity of Marseilles, when he
went to Minnesota on a visit. Pleased
with the country, he decided to make
it his home, and settled in Saltwater,
investing a patrimony in what is now
the Northwestern Manufactm ing Com
pany, with a capital of $1,000, 900, of
which he is manager. He was elected
as q compromise candidate for Senator
in 1870, and has served in one or the
other branches of the Legislature ever
since. He is one of the shrewdest bust
ness men in the state. and is quite popu-
lar among his business and politica! as
sociates.

MADISON. WIS, Telegram:-Joseph
Brown. the husband of the recent post
mistress at Cable, upon the North Wis
consin, was arrested al River Falls, re-
Gently, by Mail Inspector Pulcifer. 1t
seems the Office at Cable was burned
some weeks ago. when Brown claimed
that some $3.50 worth of stamps were
destroyed, but subsequent investigation
revealed that they were stolen, and
Brown was suspected of the theft and
possibly of firing the Office. He dis.
gorged $3.50 to the officers, and was
brought here for trial. His examination
was held yesterday, and resulted in hi.
being bound over, to appear for trial al
the next term of court.

Monday night. 4 letter from him to

clerk laid it before the Governor. In
the letter Vincent said he was behind,
but was going to New York to get money
which, the letter indicated, he had loan
