A regular meeting of the Manchester
School Board was held at the Mayor S
Courtroom Of that city last night.
The meeting was called to be held al an
earlier hour, but it was o'clock before
a quorum was gotten. Present : Messrs,
+. c. d. Farmer, president ID. j..
Wiesiger, clerk b. F. Pilson, B. A.
Nunnally, G. A. Peple, W. T. Robin
son. John 0'Brien, j. Ii. Foster, g..
A. Conn, and Superintendent Howle.
At the last meeting of the Board the
clerk was requested to make an estimate
Of what would be the cost of running
the schools for eight instead Of seven
months. Mr.. Weisiger in response to
this request submitted an estimate
showing that the expenses Of the schools
for eight months will be little more
than s5, 900, or about 1926 more than
for seven months. The receipts from
both State and city will amount to over
1000, or about 81 300 more than will
be required to run the schools for seven
months.
Mr.. Nunnally moved that the session
be extended to eight months. He had
heard complaint about the sessions be-
ing so short, and if possible be would
like to see them made longer.
Superintendent Howle hoped the sug.
gestion of Mr.. Nunnally would be car
ried. There is an interesting grsdua-
ting class, the members Of which viii
be utterly unable to complete their
course in the seven months.
Mr.. Weisiger, as much as any men,
Der Of the Board, wanted the scholars
TO graduate and the schools % do we'll.
but he thought it better to liquidsss the

it having been variousy stated that from
sixteen TO twenty-five were killed, which
was in excess, there being. in fact, but ten
among the dead. All sorts Of rumors and
stories concerning the affair were in circula-

information could not be obtained A reporter
OF the PIONEER PRESS visited the scene early
this morning, driyiag from St Cloud, and

pastor OF the neighboring village of Royal
