A STRONG ADDRESS.
Hon. II. z. Burkhart's Telling Speech
on the Division Question.

| "" s"e D'NisUu X"SstVus
| Speaker Burkhart addressed the
House of Representatives, the other
day, against the division of Alturas
county. His speech required two
hours for its delivery. The speaker
reviewed the early history of the
county, when it never paid its run
ming expenses, and demonstrated that
the present debt was mostly incurred
by the "old' county. He also
proved that for the portion Of the
present county debt in excess of the
principal and interest of that incurred
by the old county, we had full
value to show in public buildings,
roads, and bridges. He said:
When the county seat question was
voted on in 1881, the "old" county
debt was $4,000. Some of the war
rants for this amount when paid by
the "new" county bore $50 per cent.
interest, and many had been oriyi-
nally sold for so cents and less, SO
that when they were redeemed by the
new county treasurer $3.50 was paid
for what had cost but $50. One
warrant for $500 cost the county
$4,000. The new county actually
paid about $4,000 for the $4,000
OF cid county warrants. He then
went on to explain the public i'm
provements made and which so ma
terially increased the debt. Another
thing-it has been charged that ex.
travagance was cause for much of
the indebtedness. | admit this may
be true. In the ear y days the county
officials worked under the fee system,
and in fast building.up country as
the Wood River, 1t was possible for
the county officers to acquire fortunes.
The Sherif's office was worth from
$4,000 to $4,000 a year. 1t took
long time to get the fee system
abolished, 50 we could reduce these
immense salaries. For revenge
gentlemen within the bar of this
House and outside of it have
threatened they would cut Alturas
county into pieces and leave nothing
of the remains. That fee question
made many bitter feuds, and it Is for
revenge that these Office holders at.
tempt to dlsmember the county.
Another charge is that "the HALEY
thieves are too sharp for US, and we
want to get away from them" Our
citizens never had any public office,
outside OF one, and l don't know
what reason members from other
counties have for wishing to cut US
up. 1t is this: A few men want
new county seat and they want
county offices. Outside Of one or
two towns that want the county seat,
there is no wish for division among
the citizens of the county. This pro,
posed legislation has decreased our
county warrants so that they 60 beg
ging at Is cents, whereas they would
ba at par if not for this movement.
The county of Gilmore would have to
assume about onethird of our indebt.
edness, and our County Treasurer
would be compelled to refuse their
warrants for the amount. We will
use every means to defeat this meas
ure, and if ir finally passes we will
fight it in the courts.
A large number Of estimates and
statistics were produced to show that
the proposed fillmore county would
have to make a tax levy of over $3.50
to run the county and pay interest.

been sold, even to the kitchen stove
pipe and scrubbing brushes.
From the scraps OF conversation we
gathered that some really fashionable
people will buy bits of parlor furniture
at these sales, if it be in the latest
style and not much worn. Boarding
house keepers seem to buy nearly all
their household utensils in this way. A
few sharp heusekeepers, like those we
met on first entering the house, are
said to spend vast quantities of time at
these auctions, leaving their husbands
and children to lunch OH cold victuals
and admire the miscellaneous assort-
ment regularly brought home by the en-
terprising wife.
The secondhand clerk gathered in, at
his own price, everything that nobody
else wanted.
Lets go home, this is getting weari-
some. I'd like to get breath of fresh
air." pleads Susie.
We go out to the porch. Where are
our rubber boots? "Gone,' we sigh.
and the March winds re-echo our plant.
We wade through the puddles with our
thin slippers, and as we take the car
home reflect that the Minneapolis auc-
tion-loving public are-not exactly dis
honest-but apt to make mistake,
EVA Cav

everything at auction, takes his COIL
mission and gives the owners check
for what's left. People like to do that
way. 1t saves trouble"
Susie sighed; she couldn't see how
people could be willing to fOrsake their
lares and penates and start new
again. 1t must take them while TO
get acquainted with themselves every
time. Probably it does. but Susie is
young and hasn't learned that to forget
the yesterdays and live in the present
is the aim of life with many people.
Now the auctioneer has come, and the
rooms begin to fill with motley crowd
of people. The shabby genteel element
is conspicuous. but there are also
women in sealskin cloaks and diamond
earrings, who buy their furniture at a
bargain and have the margin for pocket
money. The agent from a secondhand
store is there, his keen eye and crooked
nose lending so formidable an aspect
that many a timid bidder makes way
for him without protest.
The auctioneer mounts table and
begins to dispose of the bric-a-brac
first. The crowd forget every notion of
courtesy. They push and jostle each
other in their efforts to get to the front.
The auctioneer seems to enjoy his bust
ness. His deceptive powers are mex
haustlble, and although his witticisms
are apt to be trifie coarse, yet every
body laughs.
Like the rest of the crowd, Susie and
l buy baskets of paper flowers, and
hideOuS hand-painted plaques that we
don't want. On taking them to the
light and seeing the liberal quantity of
dust and fly SpeokS on them, we forbear
to take them home, and insert them in
the open CRATE.
When it comes to the heavier articles
the ladies amuse themselves by show
ing how much they don't know about
the market value of furniture that has
been worn season.
Two young housekeepers bid fiercely
against each other for an easy chair
No. secures it for SIS. s'That's good"
quoth the auctioneer's young man in a
whisper, you can buy new one like it
for $40. No. l is proud of her pur-
chase, until her husband comes, when
Susie overheard him say: ''Now Julia,
what on earth do we want of another
easy chair? We've got four already
that were wedding presents. How
much did you pay for this old thing;
about sop l won't quote the other re-
marks of that fond husband when he
heard all about that purchase and sew
eral similar ones.

was formerly considered one of the
most beautiful residence locations in
Minneapolis, and it still retains much of
its charm. although a big brick school
building has been added at the back
The visitor is ushered into an old-fash-
Toned and quantity furnished parlor.
The principal is summoned by one of
the pupils. She says the Bennett semi
nary is the oldest Institution of the sort
in this city, having been established
twenty years ago. A trip through the
school rooms shows classes of girls in all
grades from the primary department up
to those who are preparing for WelleS-
ley.
A lesson in physical culture and elo-
cution, according to Delsarte," is in
teresting. Exercises to expand the
chest and render the throat flexible, are
followed by vocal drill upon stirring
selection from the dramatic reader.
The pupils followed the teachers di-
rectiOnS eagerly, and some showed evil
dence of that dramatic ability which
made success of the Bethanion society
entertainment, given Oh Friday even
Ing.
While the course of study in these
seminaries looks rather formidable. yet
a glance at the rosy cheeks and erect
forms OF the pupils shows that they are
not overworked, The morning session
from $50 until l o'clock is divided into
alternate study and recitation periods,
Then an hour or two of the afternoon
is likely to be spent in preparing
lessons for the next day. A quaint
little attic studio attracts many, who
spend several hours week at the
easel.
The modern boarding school gives
not the slightest hint of discipline
which, few years ago, made such
schools terror to young girls, and fur
nished fruitful theme to the writers of
fiction. Minneapolis girls go to them
from choice, finding the influences and
environments more kindly than that of
public academies.

Tn a few moments there was a

RIPPLE OF LAUGHTER
and SnatcheS of gay conversation heard
in the hallway without, and a large
number of young ladies trooped out to
enjoy the March sunshine.
Boarding schools are becoming very
popular in Minneapolis, especially
among the more wealthy and refined
portion of society,"" said Miss Judson.
"Parents prefer to send their daughters
where they can receive careful training,
have the advantage of every refining in
tluence, and yet do not meet the mix
tuFe which is feature of the public
high school"
1.-The more aristocratic and wealthy
element of the Flour City seem to con-
slider it quite chic to go to young
ladies' seminary. They are supposed to
get more polish and can select their
own studieS," said a young miss, who
had but lately persuaded papa to send
her to boarding school. The lady pre-
ceptress, with a twinkle in her brown
eyes. answered the reporter "that the
girls did not hold the highest place in
her esteem. Because if their minds
were occupied with new dresses it
showed a low plane of thought. Real
intellect and modest worth were held in
higher admiration"
How refreshing it is to hear such an
assertion i'll these days when the al
mighty dollar is mdustriously wor-
SHIPPED everywhere.
"What do young ladies learn at this
sort of school?'' was asked.
eff they have finished the High
school course, a special course of two
here. Special attention is given to 1T
erature and history. My class have
just finished a three months reading
and discu ssion of Dante's Inferno"
They drew diagrams of the wicked
place s. wildly portrayed by the poet.
Would you like TO look at one?' she
said.
The diagrams of the Inferno" were
cleverly drawn, showing the states of
torment. with quotation describing
each written within the circle. At the
outer gate was the familiar quotation:
''WHO ENTERS HERE
leaves hope behind" Miss Judson said
the young ladies had taken much inter-
est in making these and carrying them
home for parental inspection.
Native teachers also give the budding
bellies knowledge of French and Ger
man as it is spoken in society.
"What do the young ladies do after
they leave your SCHOOL," asked the re-
porter, with vague idea that so much
education must fit the graduate for
something useful.
why, they are finished then; they go
into soclety"-and marry rich husbands

in heavy frames and crayon sketches IN

There are any number of bookcases
filled with books of reference. Also
the works of Dante, Milton, Shakespeare
and all standard American authors. The
desks covered with books and the black
boards force one to believe that this
cosy-looking place is really a school
room. At one end of the room is
slightly raised platform. Fourteen
well-dressed, remembering young
ladies sit on chairs facing the desk. At
the desk sits an elderly lady clad in
gown of russell brown. Her soft white
hair is brushed away from kindly
face and fastened high upon the head
in loose puffs.
The class is reading the opening
lines of Millions Paradise Lost" SO in

ceiving the GLOBE representative
standing in the doorway: 'but please

the pupils parents are allowed to be

moments until school is dismissed"
said the lady, as she uShered the re-
porter into little Office, which bore the
impress of woman's tasteful work. The
walls were finished in dull terra Gotta,
with facade of ciel blue. Paintings
and crayon sketches, the work of for
mer pupils, made a harmonious decora-
