The Winona Republican says that
at meeting held Dec. 18th by the
committee appointed by the Board of
Trade, the question Of the best way
of raising Winona's quota of 1900 to
the Worlds fair fund, was discussed,
and while no particular mode was set
tied upon, it was agreed ''that the
amountmust and will be forthcoming

All that was mortal of the late
Miss Louise Coffin, was laid to rest
yesterday afternoon, in the cemetery
called "Glenwood." The services
were conducted by Revs' John Bar
bour and F. M. Rule, both of whom
spoke feelingly of the deceased. She
was consistent member of the Pres
byterian church and favorite among
the people with whom she came in
contact. The High and Normal
schools and the University at Minnea.
polls were represented at the funeral.
We are informed that the school
meeting held last Friday night in
school district No. 81, Rapidan, was
not legally called, in that sufficient
notice, according to law, was not
given, and that the action of the
meeting upon the matter in question
is void. Our informant also states
that while there were no votes cast in
favor of the proposition, there were
more voters present who were in favor
of the removal, than there were votes
cast against it, but having found that
any action the meeting might take in
the matter, would not hold, because
the meeting was not legal one, they
abstained from voting. He also states
that the proposition was not to move
the school-house from it's present site,
on the farm of Mrs. Yeager, to that
of Mr.. L. II. Gregg, as has been put
in circulation, but to site upon the
farm of Mr.. T. Kastler.
