THE SCHOOL SUPERINTENDENT

The Board of Education held session
on Wednesday evening last, and settled
the superintendency question by accept
ing Prof. Denfeld's resignation, and elect
ing Prof. Bechdolt to the position.
Happily, the Board have disposed of
the matter finally in most satisfactory
manner. Prof Bechdolt is too well
known in this community to need any
words of commentator from the press.
He has resided among us for the past
nine years, and for four years of
that time held the position in our pub
lie schools, to which he has again been
called. The balance of the time during
his residence here, he has been number
ed with the Normal School faculty. As
an educator, Mr.. b. has very few equals,
and under his charge our public schools
will continue TO advance in popularity
and meritorious work. The salary has
been placed ut 81 900 per annum.
Prof. Denfeld will leave for his new
field of labor next week, and he will
bear with him the best wishes of the
people of Mankato.

BUS LINE.

Holbrook Il Lees Bus and Hack line
is not excelled by any in the State, and
the public appreciate the expense these
gentlemen have incurred in placing such
fine outfits at the disposal of the public
when there was no opposition line that
demanded it AZ matter of policy. They
haye ever studied the convenience and
comfort of their patrons, rs the fine veh-
icles they drive testify, and all orders re-
ceiye the most prompt attention. In the
future, as in the past, those desiring the
use of hack or bus will find Holbrook &
Lees line ever ready to afford them
prompt service.

Last Monday evening about five
o'clock policeman Blake was at his
home, corner of Third and Vine streets,
when he heard something falling through
the trees into the yard, and surmised
somebody was throwing into the enclos-
ure, but just then A. ii. Allen, Esq, in
the adjoining yard observed that the
falling objects were fresh water clans,
which was witnessed about the same
time by G. +. Chandler, Esq. Looking
up they could see the shells coming
down through the air In numbers that
caused great surprise, for the sky was az
clear as could be and no wind of any
consequence was blowing. The gentle
men named all examined the shells and
found them to be genuine CLAIMS in a
healthy condition. 1t was very unus-
ual phenomenon, which cannot be fully
compreheAded, but the only probable
hypothesis is, that they were lifted up
from their native realm by undue at
mospheric suction of some kind and
borne through the atmosphere by an
upper current until their descent occur.
red. Mr.. S. +. Barney states also that
he found clam in hls yard Tuesday
morning.

paApn FOR THE DEAD

1t would seem superfuous to urge our
people to join in the work of expressing
the feelings of sorrow and regret for the
eminent dead, tomorrow, but, that the
city may bear fitting emblems of the sad
ness that now pervades the whole nation,
we feel it our duty as u public journalist to
suggest once more to every one, that
there should be perfect unity all about
the city in draping buildings, placing
flags at half-mast, and other usual modes
of making known the grief all 30 sincerely
feel. Every business house, at least,
should be draped, and it is with satisfac-
ton we note that all the leading business
men have already prepared to do so, and
many private residences will be likewise
treated. We have assurance that a
number of visitors from neighboring vii
lagos will come to join in the exercises
at Mankato, and it would be painful to
these, and 10 the old soldiers especially,
many of whom fought under General
Grant, to notice perceptable indifler-
ence on the part of our citizens IN this
respect. Let none neglect the tribute.
At this writing Friday morning) the
following parties have dnped or are
preparing to: J. NJ. Karmany, Neon

ST. AUGTSTINE'S CELEBRATION.
Preparations for Appropriately Oh
serving Important Historical
Events
Savannah News.

The preparations at st. Augustine
for celebrating the anniversary of the
landing of Ponce de Leon in Florida
on Friday, March 81, 1919, and the
founding of the city of st. Augustine
by Menendez ia 1865 are exciting very
general interest throughout Florida.
The committee of arrangements is
well qualified for the work which has
beer intrusted to it. Nothing will be
left undone that would contribute to
the interest and enjoyment of the oc-
casion.
The celebration will occupy two
days, beginning on March 81. There
will be a grand display, in which there
will be an endeavor to give faithful
representation of the landing of the
Spanish troops to take possession of
the country. The aim will be to pre-
sent an exact picture of the landing
of the Spaniards over three and half
centuries ago. The positions of the
Spanish vessels, the uniforms of the
Spanish troops, the Indians on the
shore awaiting the landing of the
troops, and the celebration of mass
Immediately on landing, will all be
observed in presenting the picture with
the greatest possible fidelity. The
landing of the troops, however, and
the accompanying ceremonies will
only be small part of the celebration.
Arrangements have been perfected
for a grand military parade, ball,
regatta, tournament, and novel dis
play called the battle of flowers.
The town of st. Augustine, with it's
quaint houses and appearance of an
tiquity, which has had it's quiet seldom
disturbed In it's thre3 hundred years
of existence, is about to be aroused,
perhaps as it never yet has been
Always an attractive place and always
pretty well supplied with visitors, it
will, doubtless, be more popular with
health seekers and sight seers this
winter than ever before.
