Some Important Business Transacted at
Last Nights Session.

Some Important Business Transacted at
Last Nights Session.
At the meeting of the school board last
evening great deal of business. some of it
of much Importance, was transacted. The
committee on schools reported in favor of
disseminating the Bonn school on Benton
avenue and assigning the scholars to the
Hawthorne school; also to rent the Herman
building, on Hillsdale avenue, by the month,
at $40, and the basement of the Lutheran
church, at $25. for school pm: poses. The re-
port was adopted. 1t was also decided to re-
place the old Steele text books on physics,
chemistry and geology with Cages physics,
Shepard's chemistry and dWinchell'sgeology.
1t was explained that the change woald en-
tail no additional expense.
The date for the beginning of the school
year was fixed for Sept. Z.
There was some discussion about the pay-
ment of insurance premiums on the school
buildings, finally settled by the adoption
of a resolution to pay the bills, amounting
to $157.50. During the discussion it devel-
oped that sidewalk had been laid on sixth
avenue, which had not been authorized by
the board az a whole, and the disposition
was to have no work done hereafter unless
ordered by the trustees at regular or spe-
cial meeting.
VIM. Erskine Il Co. were awarded the
contract for putting closets IN the Central
school building, their bid, $3.50, being the
lowest. Arthur O'Brien will do the same
work in tho Seventh ward school, mis- bid,
$135. being the lowest.
The question of putting up building on
some ground recently purchased in tho
First ward came up. but was not decided
before adjournment. Mr.. Lockey objected
to building just now, while MIR. Guthrie
wanted to advertise for bids at once.
II was decided to change the plans for the
closets in the new high school building.

THEY WILL FIGHT.

Tho Black Pearl and Ike Hayes to Meet
Thursday Night.
Arrangements for the glove fight between
the Black Pearl and Ike Hayes, of this city,
have been concluded and the fight will take
place Thursday evening at the armory.
The programme will be filled by sparring
between local favorites until II O'Clock,
when the event of the evening
will come off. Under the terms the
Pearl will endeavor to stop Hases
inSeight rounds. Ii he succeeds he will
carry away 75 per cent. of the gate receipts
cent. going to the loser. The indications
are that it will be great fight. The Pearl,
who came over from Butte Monday even
ing, is in fine condition and says he is con-
tident of winning. He is an athletic look

and is heavily built. His shoulders are
broad and his neck is notioeably heavy.

The Pearl has taken large contract in

He is clever fighter and has made repu-
tation. He knocked out Walter Beattie and
Charlie Payne of Bismarck, each in the
third round and finished Frank Gill, of Bis
mRrck, in one minute. He whipped Tom
Gleason, of Fargo, and only last month
| stopped Jenkins and Nelson in this city.
He has never been whipped and is very con-

reasons for believing that the coming fight
will be on the square and that good en-
tertainment will b. given.

formation over which the river flows. This
water, after percolating through the rocks.

Of tho Rockies, and works its

with the loading Reologists Of tho country.
and as enunciated by Col. Nettleton seems
very plausible, az tho formation between
this city and Benton Ia of that nature
which would permit of considerable seep-
age. Moreover, tho underground channel
which supplies the Giant spring-a river in
itself--shoWs the existence of subterranean
streams in this formation, and lends cor
roborative evidence to the theory. While

any wise diminished during the journey

IRISH NATIONAL LEAGUE.
President Fitzgerald Calls for Meeting
in Chicago, Oct 25

President Fitzgerald Calls for Meeting
in Chicago, Oct. 25
LINCOLN, Neb.. Aug. 25.-John Fitzgerald,
president of the Irish National league of
America, issued an address to-day calling
for convention at Chicago Oct. 25 next.
The call says In part that the present
lamentable condition of affairs i'll the old
land. the falling off of Irish-American
support as direct result of dissention in
the ranks of the parliamentary party, are
reasons enough to induce lovers of the cause
to come together and devise measures to
overcome the difficulties. 1t has been deem
ed exIedient TO go beyond the lines Of the
Irish National League Of America and in
Irish cause. To this end, every existing
branch of the Irish National League OF
America will be entitled to one delegate for
every twenty-five members and all
other societies and organizations will
be allotted one delegate for
tween now and Oct. %. shall subscribe
$40 to the funds of the league. Further
every individual who has since the last con-
vention contributed at one time $25 thl Ough
the national treasurer, or who shall have
done 30 before Oct. 20, shall be entitled to
the privilege of delegate. The objects t
the convention are, in substance, to exam-
inc into the present and past relations
between the league in America and
leaders of national movement with
view to placing them on better
and more satisfactory basis; to revise and
amend the constitutions; to pledge once
more inviolahle fidelity to the cause of
Irish liberty and to adopt such measures in
support thereof as msy be- considered wise
and justifiable. All who have the cause of
Ireland at heart are earnestly requested to
make this convention not only a success,
but q historical landmark in the progress
of the Irish movement.
"Ihe time has come" says the address,
when We should prove to the world that
our moral courage if not inferior to the
physical bravery our race has ever displayed
on the battle field. No obstacles nor tenn
porary political defeats can frighten us
from the path our fathers trod before us.
We should not abandon the grand
old organization which has rendered
such valuable aid to the Irish cause during
the past ten years to embrace newly
formed association resulting from factional
dinerences and not representative OF a
united and progressive Irish nationality.
The cause is above men and the organize
tion should not be held responsible for the
hortcomings of individuals"
