Tuition Money from Outside Pupils.

The board of education has
adopted a new plan in regard to the
collection of tuition from Out-Of-tOwn
pupils, the workings Of which are
very satisfactory, except, perhaps, to
the out-of-town pupils themselves.
Formerly the superintendent col
lccted what he could, turned the
amount over to the board and the
matter was dropped. Some pupils
OF course, evaded payment, and there
was little or no check on them. The
new arrangement. which went into
effect about a month ago, is as fol
lows: Each teacher reports to the
superintendent the names of those
pupils in her room whose parents do
not live within the city limits. Such
pupils are instructed that they must
have a receipt for tuition money be-
fore they can come to school. Each
one goes to the superintendent and
gets a statement showing the pupils S
name, the amount of tuition he owes
the district, etc. The pupil takes
this to the treaSuser of the district
pays the money and takes a receipt
titles him to enter the public schools
during the time for which he has
paid. During the first month or two
in which this plan has been in exis-
tence the collections have amounted
to nearly 500, as against about that
amount per term in the past. There
are from fifty to seventy-five pupils
from outside the city attending the
Fergus Falls school. The tuition
which includes instruction in music
and dra wing, is the nominal sum of
ST per month. and it seems odd that
anybody should object to paying it.I
is nevertheless true that many pupils
have ''dodged' in the past, and still
make strenuous efforts to do so. In
the large majority of cases, however.
the tuition money is paid promptly
and willingly.-Fergus Falls Journal

A Pleasant Evening.

The ladies of the Rebecca degree
lodge gave a social last evening at
the Odd Fellows hall in the Flynn
block. Those who were members OF
the Rebecca and Odd Fellows lodge
invited a number of their friends and
the evening passed very pleasantly.
Card playing was INDUCED in, and
later a musical and literary program
was rendered as follows: Bass solo,
Chas. H. Brown; solo, Miss Edith
Smith; vocal selection with guitar
accompaniment, Messrs. Laird and
Meyers; recitation, 1.-The Jiner,'
Miss Jennett Smith; and in response
to an encore, she recited "Cassanda
Brown" bass solo, C. II. Brown.
Rev. Moore then delivered an address
which was well received and created
considerable merriment, as the rev.
erend gentleman seemed to be in a
jolly mood, as usual. The program
was tirst-class and had the applause
been responded to by each one who
participated, no time would have
been left to partake Of the elegant re-
freshments which were served by the
ladies. There was more than enough
good sandwiches, cake, etc, to go
around, and some of it was given to
poor families today. 1t was one of
the pleasantest events we have at
tended this season, and it will be fol-
lowed, after Lent, by another one
by the same society,"
The Rebecca Degree Lodge is an
auxiliary to the I. o. O. F., and it is
just beginning to be appreciated.

Advertising Little Falls.

One OF the liveliest and most pro-
gressive places in Minnesota is Little
Falls, which is establishing factories
fast, and steadily increasing in popu-
lation. Little Falls is now after a
line of the Great Northern road and
will probably get it, as her business
men have taken up the matter in
earnest.
The above paragraph, which we
clip from the Duluth Tribune of Mon
day last, was doubtless inspired by
the telegraphic reports in Saturdays
daily papers of an immense mass
meeting OF citizens of Little Falls.
held III that city on Friday evening
Of last week. The Transcript of the
following day contained a lengthy
report OF the meeting, which was
described as a movement to secure
better railroad facilities and addi-
tional manufacturing establish
ments for the town The meeting
was large and enthusiastic, was
presided over by the Mayor, and
addressed by many Of the most
prominent and influential citizens.
At this meeting a committee of
| representative business men was
appointed to wait upon President
Hill, of the Great Northern Railroad,
for the purpose ofsecuring if possible
an extention Of his road to Little
Falls, and a good working committee
was also selected to look up manu-
featuring enterprises and induce the
capitalists behind them to locate in
the town. The Little Falls people it
will be observed, ARE already hustling
for whatever may be in sight the
coming season, and are securing
considerable valuable advertising for
their town if they secure nothing
else, as the clipping from the Duluth
paper shows.-Brainerd Tribune.

IMPROVEMENTS
The Court Room Improved to Con.
siderable Extent.

The county commissioners have
had Il number of much needed i'm
provements made at the court house
recently. First, in the large court
room, the center platform in front of
the judges seat has been built out
even with the sides. This platform
has been carpeted as has also been
the jury box. In the aisles and
spaces in front OF the chairs mating
has been laid and person may now
leave the room without disturbing
the court.
The judges room has been neatly
carpetad and chenille draperies
hung in front of the window looking
into the hall.
These improvements, which cost i'll
the neighborhood OF f$175, were neces-
sary. and in. accordance with-the
wishes of the judges.
A reporter paid a visit to the court
house this morning and found Jani-
tor McCauley engaged in getting
everything in readiness for the term
of court
Morrison county is fortunate in
having such neat and comfortable
court house, and every thing about it
is cared for in a first-class manner.

A Mortgage Sale in Benton,

A little occurrence came to our no.
tice early this week, which will give
our readers a sleight idea of the way
things are done in this county. Mr..
NJ. Laer, of Mayhem Lake, bought of
P. Munsinger, some time ago, a cut
ter, which he was to pay for with
wood. He was unable to bring in
the wood at the appointed time, and
offered Munsinger a mortgage to Sc
cure the debt. The same day Mum
singer took Laer's horse from where
it was tied, and got Sheriff Quinn to
make the sale at once, the horse be-
ing sold for $40 when it was easily
worth $50. The matter has been
placed in the hands Of a good at
torney who will ascertain whether
or not such proceedings are to he al
lowed. Mr.. Laer had to walk to his
home in Mayhem Lake, which is
about nine miles distant-Saulz

How PaDer Is Made.

The mammoth edition of the
Duluth Herald contains the follow
ing description OF how paper is made
at the Little Falls mills:
The process is an interesting one
when seen at it's best in mills like
those OF the Hennepin Papercompany
at Little Falls in this state. To these
mills the wood is brought in five
foot lengths with the bark off. An
all-consuming cutter, acting like an
enormous hash-chopper, cuts it into
five-inch slices across the grain as
fast as it can be fed. and endless
elevators carry the slices into boilers
where they are dumped and caustic
soda added. For six hours the wood
is boiled under Il pressure of 6S
pounds OF steam and then, reduced
to a pulp, the contents of the boiler
are emptied.
After this other chemicals are
added, each manufacturerhaving his
preferences and own particular
secrets, but the main ingredients are
cotton. waste, alum cake, white
chiea clay and tale
Then the pulp is put into machine
which pOurs it out into molds in
uniform thickness and of an even
con sistency, draining OFF the water
at the same time, while endlesss belts
carry it off, allowing it to dry and
giving it a finish by passing it
through calendars After this the
paper is ready to he cut up if sheets
are required or if it is for use on a
perfecting press such as The Herald
employs it is wound in one con-
tinuous sheet into huge rolls, each
one containing from 500 to SOOpounds
OF paper Then it is shipped to the
pressroom Of the daily paper and is
ready to be used.
