SCHOOL FACILITIES,
improvements Under Way and
Proposed for the Future.

The board of education of st. Paul
owns thirtyfour public school buildings,
with total of 29S rooms, the average
being about eight rooms to a structure.
A new eight-room building is in course
of construction at Merriam Park, and
another of the same size near the june
ton of Como avenue and Rice street.
President P0Stlethwaite said yesterday
that these, with the buildings now under
way, an eighteen-clasS one and three
other rooms in West st. Paul; the
HumbOlt, which is to be completed
Nov. |, and the high school addition
constitute all that will be done this year.
1t may be necessary, though, to erect
two or three other small buildings in
the suburban districts. Pressure is
being brought to bear upon the board
for an eight-room addition to the Cleve-
land school, which is a fourteen-room
building, but it is not sufficient to supply
the needed accommodations. 1t is quite
probable that new eight-room build
ing will have to be erected in that dis
trict soon, but it will not be an addition,
but all independent structure.

Louis L. StenSgaard, a young Scandl-
navian real estate dealer. has discovered
that the Greuter electric clock, which is
manipulated in the stock brokers' office
of Alfred E. Maher & Co., at 307 Jack
son street, is not sure Indicator of
wealth. Mr.. Stensgaard had trusted
that clock, however, and put up his
money upon it, according to his state
ment. The result of his efforts to get
Eich was that he lost $4,000. AT least
that is the amount he claims in a suit
brought against the stock brokers.
He says he lost this money during the
months of May, June, July and August,
and that last Monday he won $1,000, but
Maher & Co., repudlated, and would not
pay over the cash. AS soon as he filed
the complaint to secure an attachment
on the clock, with ChaS. j. Johnson and
William Johnson, Sheriff Reuban
Clewett went down to Maher's place to
attach the clock. In StenSgaard's affi-
davit he called the clock gambling de-
vice, and said that all the personal
property Maher had in his office was
worth only $500. There was some fun
when the deputy sheriff appeared.
Maher's attorney was in the Office, and
spoke with loud voice, saying: LET
no mortal hand be laid upon that clock"
The heavy hand of Reub Clewett was
laid upon it, nevertheless, and one of
the deputies slept in the Office under
several horse blanket all right. Maher'S
agents say that the reason the 81, 600 was
not paid over to Stensgaard was be-
cause it was covered by garnishment
process in suit against Stensgaard by
a man named Foote. StenSgaard'S plead
ings explained fully, what the electric
stock clock" is supposed to be by those
who put up their money on its quota
tionS.
He alleged: s'That defendants are
doing business in the city of st. Paul as
gamblers and conducting gambling de-
vice known as an electrical stock clock,
by means of which they made pretended
purchases and sales of stocks, having no
market or real value whatever. That
they required of the party making such
transactions margin or cash advance
of 81 or more upon each share of such
fictitious stock and

card representing stock is by mechan-

the other slots represent decline in

mo thing or article of any value what
ever is represented in any of the pre-

of the parties using the clock is not to
effect the actual purchase and sale of
stocks or anything whatsoever, but is
purely gaming transaction wherein a
wager is made that the pretended stock
operated in, as represented by the card
taken from the clock, will fall in the
upper or lower slot, thereby denoting

NEW ACTORS COMING.
Guying Will Not BE Permitted al
the PeODle's Theater

Manager Walker, of the Peoples the
ater, said yesterday that he had re-
ceived no definite reply yet from Mr..
Lipman regarding the new members
who will compose the company. Miss
LodwsN Young has been secured for
leading lady to take the place of Miss
DIetz, and Miss Lille Williams for
soubrette in place of Miss Deaves.
1t was probable that Barton Hill would
be the new stage manager. ''Miss
Young, the new leading lady," said Mr..
Walker, has had long experience in
stock companies, as well as in combina-
tlons. She comes highly recommended,
and is said to be very talented actress.
Miss Williams, the new soubrette, is the
daughter of the great stage manager of
that name, and is spoken of by those
who know her as clever act
ress and pretty woman. All
the members of the new company
will be here Friday and go into re-
hearsal at once for Monday nights per-
formance. The same high standard of
excellence as heretofore will be main
tanned at the Peoples, and the unmerc1-
ful guying which was INDUCED in by
some of the actors during last weeks
performance, to the disgust of many in
the audience, will not be permitted by
the new stage manager"
