A letter was read from the teacher at
Ulm school wanting to know how many
months school he would have to teach.
Mr.. Gockstetter stated that the pa
irons Of this school were anxious to have
nine months if possible. No action was
taken on the matter.
A large number Of bills were read and
orders directed to be drawn on the
school funds for payment.
Mr.. Cooper stated that it was now
necessary to take action looking to the
recovery of the $4,000 school bonds in
possession of the American Exchange
National bank of Chicago and held as
security for $4,000 due from the suspend
ed Merchants National bank of this city
to the American Exchange National,
and in order to start the suit it was
necessary to make a deposit of at least
$4,000 in some Chicago bank in order to
secure the claim of the American
National in case the suit was decided in
favor of the bank. This would release
the bonds and they could be placed in
some bank in Chicago in trust for the
school district. Also that some bank
should be designated to receive and
hold the bonds.
Mr.. Wright moved that an order be
drawn on the school funds for $4,000 to
be deposited as suggested by MI.
Cooper, and that the bonds be placed in
the National Bank of the Republic of
Chicago IN trust for the school district.
The motion was adopted.
An order for S25 was directed to be
drawn to pay for preliminary expenses
in commencing the suit in the Chicago
courts.
Mr.. Cooper stated that the fees to the
Chicago lawyers would not exceed $500
that his individual expense account on
his trip to Chicago to examine into the
status of the bonds was s117.5 80, which
was allowed.

MIG FIRE.
The Loss viii Probably Reach Nearly
Million Dollars.

The Loss Will Probably Reach Nearly .
Million Dollars.
TOLEDO, O., Jane The cause Of the
big fire is as yet a mystery. The flames
broke out in the upper part of F. N
Quale & Co.'s elevator, and before the
firemen had gotten fully to work, an
explosion occurred, presumably of dust,
which tore off the upper part OF the
building and gave the strong southwest
wind then blowing an opportunity to
fan the flames into a tremendous confa-
grafton. Across Water street, which
is a very narrow thoroughfare stood the
Chamber Of Commerce block, extending
through to Summit street, and occupied
by the Western Union Telegraph COM
pany, the American District company,
Splitter & Co.'s bank and First National
bank. The upper stories were occupied
as offices by lawyers, insurance men,
etc., and the progress of the flames was
SO rapid that the law libraries, private
papers and other contents of the offices
could not be saved. Such personal losses
as these render an accurate ascertain
ment of the total loss almost an impos-
sibility, but it is thought it will reach
nearly 81, 900, 900.
