REPORTS.
From the Superintendent of Schools
ST. PAUL. March. 8. 1890.
To the Board of Education.
GENTLEMEN; | have the honor to
submit herewith my report for the
month of February, 1890.
The total enrolment in the day
schools for the school year. to date, is
13,497. This is within 81 of the total
enrolment of last year, with four
months yet remaining in the school
be provided for.
As some of the central schools are
already greatly overcrowded, fear that
it will then be necessary to rent addi-
tiOnal rooms for school purposes.
have to report that general teach
ers' meeting was held On Saturday,
March l, for general business, at the
close of which the Teachers Aid Society
was organized, to be known as the ray
lor Memorial Relief Association; its
object being to insure certain amount
of aid to disabled teachers.
The evening schools closed with the
month of February. The enrolment
for the season is somewhat smaller than
that of 1854 The causes of this de-
cline are various and difficult Of analy-
sis. Among them place the exceed
lngly mild weather, and the fact that
the line as to ages has been more closely
drawn and the schools kept more strictly
to their legitimate object than at some
times in the past. am also compelled
to admit that some of the teachers APP
pointed lacked the necessary experience
for the best success, and think IL would
be well in future to make successful
experience in school work a requisite
for appointment to teach in our evening
schools, as we'll as in our day schools.
In many respects they are more difficult
to manage, and require greater power
and wider experience in managing
others than the day schools. These in
ferences are borne out by the fact that
the schools employing experienced
teachers kept up their attendance best.
Below are given the statistics for the
month.
Respectfully submitted.

Superintendent of Schools.

NEW CLOTHING HOUSE.

A low price does not always secure
an advantage to the buyer; extremely
low price means very poor clothing;
that's not our sort.
But we don't ask you unreasonable
prices, because every garment we sell
is warranted to be as cheap as could
be duplicated in any other store IN
this vicinity-in fact some we quote
cheaper than other houses do.
In suits we have about all kinds OF
fabrics in use-cheviot, worsted and
cashmere. Sc to S24 is the range of
prices.
In double breasted jack suits we
have six different styles:-Silk-faced
Oyercoats. Meltons. Beavers and
Kerseys, s5 to $22. Rough over
coats, heavy weights, same assort-
ment. Box overcoats, English short
fashion, we have the correct styles.
Boys and Children's Suits and
Overcoats must be seen to be ap-
preciated.
Mothers intending to dress their
Young sons for the winter will do
well to look at our extensive stock.
A cordial welcome to everybody.
Come and look our store over. We
cheerfully show you through. No

as he expected to get one good, square
meal in this world. He also expressed a
desire that such occasions should oceIr
more frequently hereafter. Another re-
gretted that he had the will but not the
CAPACITY to do Justice TO the good things
placed before him.
After the cravings of nature were salts
fed. the meeting was called to order and
some very appropriate remarks were made
by Rev. CLARK. after which a number of
very useful presents were presented to
Mrs. johnston, showing the esteem in
which she was held by those present, for

Then II e men and boys repaired to a
field nearby and INDUCED IL very in
teresting game of baseball-tae Seniors VS.
Juniors-the Juniors led off for some time
and we're doing the Seniors up, owing to
two or three OF the Seniors falling several
times to catch the ball on the fly, their
hands being so large they could not realize
when the BALL was between them. How
ever they began to "catch on" after they
had lim6ered up somewhat, and began to
do the Juniors up in great shape, when
time icing limited and the roads being SO
dusty, which makes travel slow, the finale
of the game was postponed TO some future
time.
The misses also engaged in the same
pastime and from the amount of noise they
made they must have enjoyed themselves
immensely, as blink there will not be a
rat on the place Tor years 10 como.
The senior ladies remained in the house
for want of better place to go and dis
cussed the prize of butter and the last
brood of ehickers and after the questions
had been argued pro and con, and bidding
the hostess goodbye they wended their
several ways Iomeward, feeling that il
was good to hare been there.

LOCAL AND GENERAL
A Word for Election Boards.

Gentlemen Every body in this county
who takes an interest in anything what
ever will be interested in the returns OF
the election next Tuesday.
The election law requires triplicate re-
turns to be made, but is rather vague as to
their disposal, and therefore the sealed re-
turn that is required to be handed to the
minority inspector is generally put in the
ballot box and sealed up and delivered to
the nearest Justice of the Peace, and the
sealed return Gncluding list of voters
votes, etc }, and also the unsealed return
are brought to the Prothonotary's office by
the Judge of the Election, but each year
some of the election boards make the mis-
take OF sealing both returns that are sent
to the Prothonotary's Office, which pre-
vents the news gatherers from securing the
correct figures for their papers that week.
Please do not make that mistake this
year. Be sure to bring one HRSodlod re-
turn to the Prothonotary office, and one
sealed

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.

We can very easily answer the questions
put to us (ior the benefit of our customers).
1st. ''Why did they try to get exclusive
right to floral hall9" This, we say, is a
lie, and we don't propose to spell it ely
on" Mr. Grieb saw Mr.. W. II. Ii. Riddle
and Mr.. Joseph Purvis regarding a larger
space, aud in order to get the same, agreed
to build an addition ON the north side of
floral hall at our own expense, which re
quest was kindly granted. This was on
Friday before the fair, and Upon investiga-
ton we found the time was too short for
such an undertaking. Then we applied
Tor more space i'll the main hall, which We
got, and our competitor had the same
amount.
. "Why did they import a piano from
New York;" Answer-We got a hand
some, hght-wood Colby piano to complete
a iue selection of Instruments, just as bust
ness men do at the Exposition at Pittsburg,
or in any other city where dealers under
stand how to please and are willing TO show
the people the newest styles, etc. No. B
''Why did h. J. Lamb visit the grounds
every morning as soon as the gates were
opened, in order to tune his pianos I" This
we saw is another lie. Prof. Lamb did
tune a few notes on Friday morning of this
Colby piano, which came direct from the
factory to the grounds, and this was the
only piano that was tuned while on the
grounds No. 4. Why did this firm want
to import a friend to them and the Behr
piano to act as judges in this linef" An
