That Petition.

The petition which was signed by 80
legal voters of this place last fall, ask
ing the school beard to consider the
matter of establishing a graded school
is again being inquired after by some
Of the signers. 1t evidently found Its
grave in the hands Of the board as there
is where it was last seen. 1t was
thought by some that the women who
circulated the petition was tout of her
sphere" possibly that accounts for the
disdain with which it has been treated,
but what about the wishes of the MEN
who signed it: 1t is the acknowledged
privilege of every citizen, male or
female, to have an interest in ednca-
tional matters, and it is also their
privilege,to manifest their interest as
they see fit, even though they may not
have personal or individual interest
in any school. A disinterested interest,
one is not personally concerned with
the matter in hand, nor desires to be,
is considered as reliable as one In which
individual interests play their part.
With two million dollar school fund
why should not such places as ours
have = graded school and so become a
creditabIs educational centre for "ur
part of the country If there are good
reasons for not dong so, they will
surely bear candid consideration in a
meeting of patrons and citizens which
is what the petition asked for.

Several county treasurers and our
attorney general and state auditor
are having nice time trying to
settle when the S cent penalty on
delinquent taxes takes effect. Tho
jamestown Capital in an editorial
jumps onto the attorney general
and state auditor for displaying wha,
It calls abnormal nerve in advising
county treasurers to set aside a
statute of the state which is in force
and substitute statute that does not
take effect until the first Of July in
relation to the penalty for delinquen-
cy in the payment of taxes. The
Capital assumes, also the attorney
general, that the new law, which
fixes the time at Oct. 18th, 1898,
when the penalty shall be added,
does not take effect until July 1st,
30 that county treasurers would have
to work Under the old law. The
attorney general and the Capital are
either not we'll acquainted with the
new law as passed, or the copy OF
the session laws sent to this office are
incorrect. AS we take it there is an
emergency clause in the bill and the
law took effect on and after its
passage and approval, SO that county
treasurers ought to go by the new
law. Section 3, of the new law
providing for extension of time fol
payment Of taxes is as follows:

To see all that is to be seen at the Worlds
Fair, or Columbian Exposition, and improve
all the opportunities it offers, will be no
summer days task. One who goes TO
Chicago expecting to take in the wonders in
a day OF two will go away regretting that
which he must of necessity leave unseen, and
that is why the HERALD has included in its
offer to the teachers in this contest a ten doyS
stay at Chicago. As a matter of fact a stay of
one month would not exhaust interest in the
fair.
Perhaps it may be thought this is an over.
statement. A few facts and figures will show
that it is not. Jackson Park, i'm which the
exposition will be held, has a frontage on
Lake Michigan of one and one-half miles,
contains 533 acres, II of which arc water,
The Midway Plaisance is a mile long and SOC
feet wide, and contains so acres more, There
are 80 Exposition buildings proper, with a
floor space of 159 acres. Adding the
galleries, there are 1897 acres. Grouped
buildings, 10 buildings erected by foreign
governments, and 40 others for the mino.
purposes of the management, restaurants anC
advertising wares and enterprises. In tn,
Midway Plaisance are the foreign villages
shops, etc, described in a previous letter.
The visitor who would merely take a paas
ing look at each Of the vast array Of exhibit
must prepare to walk along 124 miles O
%aisles. Add to this the distances from on
building to another, which must of ]necessit
be travelled many times, and the distance Z
be covered will reach fully $50 miles. Durin
this little jaunt he win have seen exhibit
valued at $lOO,OOO,OOO, and brought fror
every corner of the globe. To bring ther
together, erect the building and run tn
