The stringency of the times make
people less able to contribute money.
and it also at the same time increases
the use the Sisters have for funds. II
is therefore hoped that all who pos

scriptions at the usual size. and
where conditions will premit, even
an increase should be made. The
privilege of aiding such an institu
ton as the Franciscan Sisters arr

of motives less comnendable thar

have of courss Seen noted women teach
ers since then, but there is marked dis
tinction between teacher and preacher
in the mind of the Jew.
Miss Frank is already quite we'll
enough prepared, from an ordinary
point of view, to undertake the duties
of the ministry and has had fattering
offer from some wealthy Jews in Chica-
go who desire to form a congregation
with her as their rabbi, but she feels the
need of further study before she is will
ing to be ordained. She is graduate of
the State University of California and
studied Hebrew philosophy and theology
at the Hebrew Union college at Cincin-
natl.
When the congress of religions was
held in Chicago, Miss Frank, the young
est delegate present, was invited to open
the proceedings with prayer, and those
who heard her said it seemed as if she
were inspired. She has already gained
considerable fame as q lecturer and
made two notable addresses in Chicago,
one before the congress of representative
Jewish women and the other before the
Grand Army of the Republic on -'The
Daughters of the Republic"
Miss Frank began her .reer as pub
lie teacher in the Sabbath school of the
Oakland synagogue. She was very sue
cessful as teacher Of children and soon
undertook Bible class for older stu.
dents, to which many of the adult mem
bers of the congregation were attracted.
The synagogue had no rabbi then, and
Miss Frank was invited to lecture before
the congregation, which she did with
great success. She is an excellent He
brew and German scholar and has from
childhood felt strong inclination for
Hebrew history and philosophy. Her
name is Rachel, but she is much better
known by the more familiar Ray.

All hydrants are inspected frequently,

placed on the mains at different

probably prevent any freezing this

Leech Lake Railroad.

From the st. Cloud Times.
The editor of the Times has been b
resident of st. Cloud for nineteen
years, and has testified his devotion
to it's best interests by long service.
The present editor of the Journal
Press has been here about year, is
a stranger to most of our people,
and yet intimates that the Times is
"misrepresenting st. Cloud and in
juring the prospects of securing
another road."' What we said as to
the Leech Lake railroad. we reiterate.
We considered our language well.
The Little Falls Transcript says
that if st. Cloud Twill offer no in
ducements for direct line, it is quite
certain that tho western line will be
chosen" If by "inducements'' the
Transcript means a bonus, the
Times is emphatically opposed to
the inducements" We don't care
to discuss this matter It length now.
There are many reasons which lead
us to this conclusion. Other st.
Cloud people may feel differently
We have not investigated public
feeling on the question-we speak
for ourselves.
st. Cloud has reached u size and
commercial greatness which make
it an object for railroads to reach
US. If such roads as the Leech Lake
one think that they can afford to ig
more our trade, they will find their er
rOr. If there is any proper assistance
we can give in getting into the city
well and good. But, If bonds OF
bonuses are thought of, the Times
| will oppose it to the end. ~

Then the old bill of Lewis Bassett
for doing work as city scavenger
came up, j. H. Rhodes as attorney
for Bassett. Last summer the board
of health ordered the cleaning of cer-
tain cesspools, and when they were
not cleaned In due time the city
scavenger, Rassett, was instructed
to do the work. He presented the
bill to the council. and after investi-
cation the city attorney decided that
proper notice had not been given to
the owners or occupants of the prem
ises, and therefore the city would
not be able to collect the bill for the
work from the property owners.
Final action was taken on the
matter last evening after consider
Oble discussion, and the bill of $50
was rejected. Bassett will have no
case against the property owners.

Bids for city physician for the COM

Library and Gymnasium Meet
ing.


The regular monthly meeting of
the Firemen's Library and Gym
nasium Association will be held at
the City Hall this evening, and there
should he a full attendance. There
has been some little clashing and
misunderstanding since the rooms
for firemen were opened in the city
building, and the best way to settle
all difficulties is for the members to
all get together and talk the mat
ters over. Unless there is reason
able agreement on the management
of the hall and other questions it
will be unfortunate for the depart
ment. 1t isn't advantageous to
criticise anybody, but If there is a
good attendance at the meeting this
evening it is probable that all mis-
understandings can be explained.
The Library and Gymnasium Asso-
citation is going to be success, and
all the boys should feel in sympathy
with the movement.
Charles N. Hewitt, the secretary
and executive officer of the state
board of health, has issued special
circular to the clergy, urging their
active cooperation in the work OF
the board, in the following words:
