TWO BOARDS AT OUTS.
Health Board Orders Closing of
the South School.
SCHOOL BOARD WILL NOT OBEY.
The Building Declared Unfit for Human
northumberland to Be Set
tied in Court.

AT meeting of the board of health held
yesterday morning i. was decided to close
the South school. hecause of the alleged
unsanitary condition of the closets. Some
time ago Health Officer Sparkling notified
the school board to build other closets. and
stated that upon failure to do so the South
school would have TO be closed
The school board made answer that it
was DESTROYS of delay in the matter until
connection could be made with sewer
which was then building towards that
vicinity. The board of health insisted
upon compliance with its order, and.
failing this, yesterday decided to close the
school.
During the afternoon Health Officer
Sparkling served the following notice on
the clerk of the school board and Principal
]. D. Atkinson. and posted a copy on the
school building:
known as the South school, and to the board of
education of school district No. / and other
persons interested in said building:
WHEREAS, The health officer of the city Of
Seattle has certified TO the board of health that
The building known the South school, stu
ated between Weller and Lane streets and
South Twelfth and South Fourteenth streets, Is
closets now in use in said school;
Now, therefore, it Is hereby ordered by said
board that all person. whosoever they DO are
hereby required TO vacate said building known
as the South school until such time as the notice
of the board of health heretofore issued 10 the
board OF education is compiled with, or until
thorough and sanitary connections made
with said South school and some public sewer.
This order Is made in pursuance OF section
seven "a of article ten Q0) of the charter OF the
city OF seattle, and is to be spected and obeyed
accordingly.
By order of the board of health.
GEORGE H. I. SPARKLING, NJ. D.,
Health Officer.
Dated Seattle, May is, 1892.
The members of the board were seen
last night in reference to the matter and
stated that they would do nothing, as the
matter was in the hands of the board s
attorneys and that the health board
would be made to take the initial step.
They. however, stated that the South
school would be open today as usual. as
far as they were concerned. If the health
, board tried to close it action would I'M
doubtedly be taken to test its authority to
do so.

HE swINDLED FOUR BANKS.
Benson's Rich Harvest - still Here
Wednesday, Safe From Arrest.

W eunesdays Saie FROM Arrest.
1t turns ont that William Benson, the
youthful forger who obtained $3.50 each
from the Fikins Banking Company and
the Guarantee Loan and Trust Company
on Tuesday, victimized two other banks
on the same day and made fifth attempt
on Wednesday, for he still remained in
the city, apparently secure against arrest.
The other two banks where Benson OBJ
tanned money on forged checks were the
Bank of British Columbia and the Boston
National, each of which rendered him
$3.50 richer. Their officers are 10th to adj
nit the fact, but it was learned on reliable
authority.
Not satisfied with these four exploits
and apparently trusting to the supineness
of the police, he remained in the city until
Wednesday and attempted to pass a
forged check at the fifth bank, but this
time met with rebuff. No attempt was
made to arrest him and he may still be in

Court Yale, |. o. F.

Last Thursday was indeed Forester
day in town. The absence of the SUI
preme officers from Toronto, Ont, in
the afternoon school of instruction WAS
well filled by the High Chief Ranger,
J. A. Frise, of Flint, Mich, and Will j.
Rapley, of Brown City. Each member
went away seeming to be benefited by
being III Court.
In the evening "a free programme
was prepared and the public filled Cen
trail hall. The opening was by the
band. The next was the statement
from the chair followed by solo by
Annie Fitzpatrick assisted by Mable
Moore on the organ. Then followed
the doings in Yale of the |. o. f. by
w. w. Cowing who said Court Yale
had received last year alone out of the
order 81 ,666.66, the first year out of
three that it had taken out more than it
paid in. Supreme Secretary John A.
McGillivary, of Toronto, then gave
some excellent hits. Looking up he
saw over his head the American flag
and said he was glad to know that we
had joined hands i'm the brotherhood
so as to be able to make speech on
the same platform, under the same
flag, and that it was the same as when
they gave il to us only few stars and
stripes added. At the end of his
speech the house, which had oeen led

more than went into roar OF laughter
by their attention being called to II
speaker away back under the gallery.
The speaker was none other than our
popular NJ. +. pastor
Then came Frank Mills the past High
Chancellor of the |. O. f.. fluent
speaker and his remsrks were well list
tened to and appreciated. Misses
Moore, Fitzpatrick, Welch and Earl
Fitzpatrick seemed to have been in
practice for some time rs their singing
was simply immense, while the organ
seemed to speak at the touch of Mrs.
Billman's fingers.
The High Chief, of Flint, presented
the banner won by Court Yale 399 |. O.
+. and instructed the members to GO on
in the good work. Mr.. Frise gave good
counsel which will stimulate the boys.
The banner presented was worth at least
500. The sashes, worth $40, were also
presented by the Supreme Secretary af-
ter which the chairmen of the meeting,
w. X. Gillett, made rousing speech
and closed the exercises by requesting
the band to play n march. Then each
went his or her way to their respective
domiciles fully convinced that For
ostery has come in Yale to stay and
that they had spent one profitable eve
ming owing to its being here.

The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1892-09-22

The trades and labor assembly by a
vote of 119 to 40 have declined the
invitation of the worlds fair director
to participate in the parade during
the dedication exercises next month,
on the ground that the workingmen
could not endorse the fair so long as
the gates were to be closed on Sunday.
They did just right, as this closing
the fair on Sunday by religious
lunatics is an outrage against those
whose only time of leisure is that
day. They cannot be expected to
become enthusiastic over an affair
which they are to be deprived the
pleasure of witnessing.
