While it looks as though the special
school act relating to the counties of
Barnes and Griggs. which passed in the
legislature, vas constructed for the very
purpose of covering illegal transactions,
nevertheless, the citizens of district No.
4, of Griggs county, deemed it wise to
meet the creditors in a liberal manner in
order to prevent law suit, and. accord
ingly, on Sept. Z voted bonds to the
liberal amount of $1,000 wherewith to
pay for the Cooperstown school house.
1t is understood that warrants to the
amount of $4,000 are in circulation.
Now, what could justify the old district
school board-Messrs. Glass, Barnard,
and Rockwell, - in issuing warrants to
that amount? Were there any laws
authorizing them to build a $4,000
school house on the wild pralrles of Da-
kota, without scholar in the district?
1t rather looks as though they were used
as tools in great booming scheme. The
material for the school house was
freighted thirty-six miles, by sleigh,
while railroad was building, on which
it could have been brought into Coopers-
town, and the house built before it was
needed.
Now. old school board of district No.
4, to use your own expression, guess
you have ''got your foot in it," Still,
your fellow citizens have left you pos.
sible chance to untangle yourselves; and
now, if you have rot sand or prin-
ciple enough to come forward IN behalf
of the district and procure a speedy set
tlement, why don't you acknowledge
your weakness, resign your position,
cover your faces with night caps, and
allow the district to select men capable
of conducting its business?

CONGRESS WILL FAKE A RsEST. | After Two Weeks of Work Come l Two Weeks of Leisure-The Holiday Recess to Begin TO-morroW-The Presidential Succession Bill Likely to Make Stir in the fEeuse.
 WASHINGTON, Dec 20.-Both houses of congress were quite Eusy last week. The | Senate was in session four days and the House six and the net result of the weeks l work in the direction of legislation was the l granting of 8 pension to Mrs. General Grant by both houses, the passage of the presiden-
 tial succession bill by the Senate and the adoption of the Morrison rules by the House.
 The House spent the week in getting ready for business and then on Saturday proposed
 a recess from the 22d of December to Jan
 uary ,. The Senate is to meet tomorrow
 ready and willing to agree to this proposi-
 ton and so the first months work of this
 Congress will practically end to morrow.
 When the Senate meets to morrow there
 will be but slim attendance as many Sena-
 tors left yesterday to spend Christmas at
 their homes. After the morning hour Mr
 Harrison will probably reply to Mir. Vest on
 the Dakota question and then unless some
 thing turns up unexpectedly the Senate will
 be ready for the holidays.
 In the House call of the States and terri
 tories for the introduction of bills, joint res
 olutions, etc., will be in order under the new rules. This will occupy from seven to ten
 hours Some of the members are in favor of continuing the call until completed to- morrow, while others think it better to finish it on Tuesday and then take recess until January or D. It was the intention of Mir. Findlay, of Maryland, to ask the House to- morrow to suspend the rnles and put the presidential succession bill which passed the Senate last week on it's passage, but he has out it beidg referred to and considered by the committee. MT. Reed of Maine, the leader of the minority in the House, said to-day that the | woulI insist on the success | sion bill being very materially amended be- ] fore it's passage. As the bill now stands the l Secretary of State or other officer of the l Cabinet succeeding to the pIesden cy may serve out the unexpired term Mr i Reed says it must be amended so tbat the ! successor shall be elected within sixty days | after the office becomes vacant. MT. Reed | thinks there will be long and very lively | debate on the bill when reported to the | House ill January. Of the measure in its | present. shape MT. Reed said: ''It is an un- air bill and has TO sense.''
 Before the House adjourns for the holidays he Speaker may announce the committees 'n printing and accounts. MT. Cookery, of l Missouri, it is believed will be made chair nan of the latter committee. There is much immediate work for both committees and hey will, if appointed now, be busily engag- d during the holiday recess.

HOME RULE FOR IRELAND.
Gladstone Repudfates Recent Report

Gladstone Repudfates Recent Reports
 As To His Intentions And Is Fol-
 lowed Ely Harrington.
 LONDON Dec. 20-The following dispatch from MT. Gladstone has been received:
 HAwARDEN, Dec. 19, 18S5.-If I should at any time have any plan intention to an nounce on the question of Irish government it will be done publicly and on my own re- sponsibility, not by anonymous and irrespon- sible declaration. My political friends are assured that I remember my obligations to them, and they may safely understand that am bound to none of the ideas respecting home rule for Ireland recently announced in my name. After saying this much I hold myself excused from replying to further inquiries, rumors or allegations regarding the Irish question.
 WILLIAM E. GLADSTONE.
 The Marquis of Harrington to-day sent to the Central News the first authoritative statement which has been received from him upon the subject of Irish home rule. He ac- eompanied the statement with a request that it should be published as widely as possible in the United Kingdom and be cabled to America. The public portion of his letter  is as follows:
 My name has been frequently mentioned in connection with reports on the subject of a scheme of Irish policy which is stated to be under consideration by the leaders of the Liberal party. I shall not within the next few weeks have an oppor- tunity of addressing my constituents publicly and I think that the respect I owe them justifes me in writing to you for the purpose of giving most emphatic contradic- tion to all such reports so far as they relate to myself. No proposals of a policy to be adopted by the Liberals as party with ref erence to the demand of a large number of the Irish members fer legislative indepen- dence for Ireland has been communicated to me. l see no reason to depart from the declarations made on the opinions expressed in my speeches during the late election in Lancashire and elsewhere on the policy an- nounced hy MT. Parnell as the leader of the Irish parliament party.

GEoRGIA's L4IQUOIs WAR.

ATLANTA Dee. 2O.-To-day the pubae mind of Atlanta was occupied with thoughts of the prohibition contest and the now things under the sun that the liquor men propose to have the courts pass upon. Per haps the biggest sensation of the day was the report that the county commissioners had authorized MT. w. L. Calhoun, ordinary, to pay Judge John T. Hall fee for his services in the case before Judge Mccoy and to charge the sum to the county. There was general howl against any such disposition of public funds. Judge Calhoun was asked if the report was true, but the only thing he would say was that the matter had not been settled Four of the fire commissioners are the strongest kind of prohibitionists. The public understood all along that the prohibit ton lawyers were acting without charge.
 Judge Tompkins went to New Orleans day before yesterday. As soon as Judge Mccoy rendered his decision he presented two new bills to Judge Pardee of the Circnit court. He also sent telegram to Julius Brown, giving Judge Pardee's order in each of the cases Of l., Cohen & Co., vs. W. l.. Calhoun, ordi nary andeT. NJ. Potts vs. the same defeud- ant. This is simply rule nisi and without a restraining order and can have no effect ill preventing the declaration of the result.
 The bill filed before Judge Marshall J. Clarke has been deposited in the clerks of ic Among the new points are these: Mr Clayton ayers that he has been for long time and is still engaged as wholesale mer- chant of Atlanta; that he deals largely in whiskeys, wines and liquors of all kinds, both foreign and domestic, which he sells to dealers in other States; that he has a large stock on hand which it is impossible for him to dispose of without irredeemable loss if prohibited from selling the same as hereto fore The complainant also ayers that the books of registration closed ten days before the cleo tion, and that persons when una ble to be- come qualified previous to the closing of the books of registration were deprived ot the privilege of voting upon the issue; also that the act does not provide how contest of the said election shall be conducted.
 There seems to be good deal of lnlsun- derstanding as to when the law goes into effect, and as some of the licenses will have to be renewed very soon very pretty ques- tion of law will be raised if the ordinary's ara T1ntia6

A Baby Trained for Crying.

FORT SMITH, Ark, Dec. 2O.-The trial of Stephen Edwards, charged with the murder of his uncle, A. T. Fleetwood, near Vinita, I. T., about year ago, terminated yesterday by the jury deciding that the court had no jurisdiction in the case. Immediately upon Edwards release he was rearrested upon charge of murder of the most revolting char acter, the information being to the effect that short time before he killed Fleetwood he had white girl living in his house who had one-year-old baby, and that becoming enraged at the child one day because it cried he took it by the feet and dashed it's brains out against the wall. He then buried the body in a fence corner and threatened to kill anyone who was cognizant of the affair and should tell of it. His neighbors all feared him and none of them dared to report the case until after he had been arrested for the killing of FleetWood
