THE ELECTION.

The municipal election yesterday
was held under the new Cooper cleo
ton law, and each ballot carried with
it from the voter a hearty endorsement
of the measure. "What a real pleas
ure it is to vote under such circum-
stances" was more than once ex-
pressed, and the law was certainly
voted a great success in this city by
the men of both parties. For the first
time in 25 years the Republicans had
straight icket in the field, but this
did not prevent the Democrats from
electing their candidates for city Off
CPS by an average majority of about
700.
The success of III. Wertheimer for
senior alderman and Geo. Gamm for
Junior alderman in the Second ward was
a genuine surprise, and the way the
Fourth ward chopped it up' for S. M.
Eaton and Gust. Gloger for aldermen
was creditable piece of work. S.
Meier was the lucky candidate for jun
Tor alderman in the First ward, but with
this exception the Democratic ward
ticket remained unbroken. Patrick
Rogan was endorsed in the Fourth
ward by reelection as supervisor, de-
feating M. Norton. The vote on the
several candidates is as follows:

The Very Latest Dodge.

Friday last man of gentlemanly ap-
pearance and address visited the resi-
dence Of David Schwieger, on Third
street. Mr.. Schwieger being absent at
Appleton, Mrs. Schwieger entertained
the stranger, the conversation being
mainly occupied with the business Mr..
Schwieger is engaged in and about the
time when he might be expected home.
In taking leave the stranger said he
would call around later. True to his
word, he reported again IN the even
ing, and this time he brought tele-
gram, dated Appleton, addressed to T.
w. Scott, which read as follows:
600 to my wife and she will give you
money for your present needs, and stay
until [ get home. D. SCHw1EGER.
The sharper talked so Familiarity
about Mr.. Schwieger's movements and
the affairs of the company he is en-
ployed with-the Minnesota Thresher
Manufacturing company = that Mrs.
Schwieger was taken completely off her
guard and she handed her visitor two
dollars, that sum being sufficient, as she
thought, to meet his wants until her
husbands return. The sum, though,
no doubt, smaller than he thought his
well-devised fraudulent plan deserved
was accepted with thanks by the
schemer and he politely withdrew, to
enter other fields and play his little
game on the unwary.
This last dodge to obtain money is
we'll calculated to succeed with the un-
suspecting, and people had better be
on the lookout for fraud Of this char
acter A few telegraph Office blanks in
the hands Of smooth tongued sharper
can be used to great advantage in rails

ST. Paul Changes.

A dispatch dated Milwaukee, March
%, says:
"It was reported yesterday on what
was considered pretty good authority
that Roswell Miller will retire from the
general managership of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & St. Paul railroad between
June l and July l, retaining only the
office of president. This information
comes from semi-oficial source. Mr..
Miller, it was said, had found the com
bined duties of both Offices too labori-
Gus, and is at the present time seeking
rest from overwork and worry, in the
South. The annual meeting of the
board of directors will be held June 5,
and the change, it is said, will follow
close after that date. According to the
same report the plan is to promote A.
J. Earling, now the general superin--
tendent of the road, to the general
managership, he to be succeeded by
w. G. tCollins, now assistant general
superintendent at Minneapolis. The
change, it is said, has been contemplate
ed for long time.

The Public Schools.

The year of instr uction, which hither-
to began with the spring term, will
hereafter begin with the fall term; in
September. Then will take place the
promotion of classes and the reception
of beginners. Though this change de-
fers the regular promotions for one
term, the school work will be so con-
Quoted that the progress of the pupils
will not suffer.
While promotions of entire classes
occur but once year, special promo
tons are made whenever pupils are
found able to do the work of higher
grade.
New pupils, already possessing some
schooling, are received atany time and
placed into the proper grade.
AS to beginners, it is advised not to
send them to school until they are
about six years Of age, and to let them
begin with the opening of the fall term,
for, only then will new classes be
started.
The spring term will open Tuesday,
April 8.
My office is at the High School, and
my office hour on school days is from

lating to the schooling of their children.

When to Sow Grass Seed.

Differing conditions of soil and climate
are in part responsible for the many and
diverse opinions or agriculturists as to
the best season for sowing grass seed.
Charles L. Flint, recognized authority.
in his work on ''Grasses and Forage
Plants" sums up the question substan-
TALLY as follows:
More than sixty years ago careful ex-
periments were made in the hope Of oh.
tanning such information as would settle
the question as to the time of sowing
down in the fall was then commenced by
a few individuals. At or before that
time the practice of sowing in the spring
was universal, and the same custom has
very generally prevailed till within a
very few years. Both the practice and
the opinion of the best practical farm
ers in the northern and eastern states
have changed to considerable extent,
and it is now commonly thought best to
SOW grass seed in the fall, early in Sep.
TENDER if possible, though there are, and
always will be, some cases where the
practice of sowing in the spring with
grain is convenient and judicious.
1t will be found that no season is with
out it's exposure to loss; for if we SOW in
autumn and have an open and severe
winter, with frequent changes from
comparatively warm and thawing wealth
er to excessive cold, the young grass
will be likely to suffer, while if we SOW
in spring with some kind of grain, as
oats, barley or rye, and have drought in
spring and summer, as we generally do,
the grass may be injured and may be en-
tirely killed. No invariable rule for all
soils and seasons can be given, but the
weight of authority seems to fix upon
carly autumn as the best season to SOW
grass seed. sowing it alone without a
g ain crop; and the losses from proper
seeding down at that season are proba-
bly, considerably less in an average of
years than those which arise from a
spring sowing with grain.

Heat-Retaining Bee-Hives.

Regarding the protection of bees
against cold in winter, and during the
time of rapid brood rearing in spring, al
apiarian in American Bee Journal takes
the ground that warm air inside the
hive is of the first Importance, and that
the temperature of the air outside the
hive is only a secondary matter, provided
the hive walls are composed of good heat
retaining materials. In hive of bees
we have, as it were, self acting fur
mace, keeping up constant temperature
of 65 dogs. in the center, and at least 30
dogs. in the atmosphere Immediately
surrounding it, when the bees are the
most quiescent. About three pounds of
cork dust is required to give II inches of
filling for the walls of ordinary hives.
The beekeeper referred to uses picture
backing and three thicknesses of carpet
felt paper for the inner skin of his hives,
and $-inch pine for the outer skim Hives
with walls thus filled will measure about
81 inches larger each way. They will
weigh about five or six pounds more, and
will cost about as much more as single
walled hives Of the same capacity.
