City Fathers Meet.

The proceedings of the city council
Monday evening were almost entirely of
routine nature and little business of lm-
portance, outside of the introduction of
the 20 year electric light franchise ordi-
nance, transacted. The monotony was
broken once by the introduction of an
amendment to an ordinance providing
that if the owner of live stock permit
the same to run at large it shall be de-
clared a misdemeanor.
An ordinance relating to poll tax was
introduced and passed and Immediately
goes into effect. 1t provides that every
able bodied man between the years of
2l and so, residents of the city, except
volunteer fremen, shall perform one
days labor on the streets annually or IN
lieu thereof pay Sl.50 for the benefit Of
the public highways. The poll list is to
be made April 18th, within five days
transmitted to the mayor who then gives
8 days notice of the tax becoming due.
Every one is then to do the work or pay
the $3.50 within 3 days after notice. fail
ing in which subjects them to fine of
not less than SIS.
The mayor was given instructions to
renovate the rear of the Doolittle block
and blocks adjoining in the interests Of
public decency and health.
The residents of the Fourth ward want
an extension of the water mains to near
the foot of the bluffs for fire protection
This extension will probably be denied
as the water committee reported that
the city was not in financial condition
to extend the mains as asked for by G.
Il. Hills and others at a former meeting.
Clerk Eager collected S259.40 last
month from the following sources:
public resort licenses, drsy and one

Cases of the garnishment OF the wages

Cases OF the garnlshment OF the wages
Of Northern Pacific employees became so
numerous and vexatious that the re-
ceivers, through counsel, applied to the
q. s. court at Helena, Mont, for an
order absolving the road from paying
the wages Of its employees to their credl-
tors under garnishment proceedings and
directing that the wages be paid to the
employees personally or to their order.
An order to that effect was granted and
signed by Judge Beatty Monday of this

stutsnan County's Schools.

0Vuteuu0u OOuuty oCuOOsss
The county superintendent Of schools,
L. Lyon. has prepared his report Of the
condition OF the schools in Stutsman
county for the year ending December
3lst, 1894. This report is of statistical
nature aud relates to the buildings, the
grounds, the pupils and teachers, the
finances and the district officers, and is
quite voluminous.
1t shows that in the y school dis.
trlcts in the county there are 70 schools
in 63 school buildings having an aggre
gate seating capacity of 2,47O. The 1872
pupils of school age in the county at
large. and those in the city schools, we're
taught by 88 teachers Of which but nine
were men. The average wages of these
teachers was about s34 per month in the
country districts and s57.27 per month
in the city schools. The teachers, out
side of the city schools, received during
the past year total Of $4,000.
The total receipts, including cash on
hand at the beginning of the year, to run
these schools-the city excluded-was
s24,4OO. 1t will be seen that just one
half Of the expenses Of the schools is for
teachers hire. In this connection it may
be interesting to see what the average
cost of tuition, per month, is for each
pupil enrolled, in the different districts
In Albion district it costs S2.18, in
Arrowwood $1.53, Beaver $5.16, Buchan-
an 1926, Chambers, Sc, Denny s1O.25
Eldridge $34.8l (probably an error and
intended for s3.4S), Guilford $9.4O
Homer 1924, Lees 1929, Montpelier
sl.1O, Mt. Pleasant s596, New Washing
ton s3.77, Toledo s2.61 and Ypsilantl
$4.37. The total amount to be raised
this year by tax levy is s24340 OF which
$4,000 is wanted in the city where the
levy Is 13 mills. The average levy for
the entire county is less than mills
In but one school house was no school
held last year while this year two new
buildings are to be erected. There has
been no increase in the bonded in
debtedness and some debt has been paid
off or refunding bonds issued; 45O trees
were set out last year to acorn the
grounds around school houses. Uniform
text books are used throughout the
county.

40 Pounds Of
CPanuIated Sugar
For SI.OO.

In the language OF the roet, Would
We moind thot now
Did you ever hear OF anything so
cheap? Never did. and never will.
But what's that got to 90 with my
business?
Simply this We want you to under
stand that when We sell you an article,
there's just about as much in 1t for us,
as when grocer sells you sugar at his
proverbial close price.
In spite of the fact that YOU MAY
THINK we are high, we sell our goods
at closer fgues than any house we
know of.
Did you ever stop TO consider how
much more our goods cost US landed
here, then they do where produced; and
with all that, do you think you could
buy one of our solid copper chatting
dishes cheaper than $3.50 Jour price,
even In New York, or one of our $3.50
tea kettles and stands for less than that,
even on the third floor of the factory
where built. THESE ARE NOT BATS
ETHER, but honest goods at honest
prices, as is every article in the store,
from the two-bi silver pin to the 5000
article.
DON'T THINK that because some
one offers you a few tIinkets at less than
cost, that he is selling everything else in
the atore at the same rate. Don't
your intelligence convince you that he is
going to make that loss up on the very
next article be sells you.
OUR STOCK IS ALWAYS RIGHT,
AND OUR PRICES ARE A BLANK
SIGHT RICHTER.

NOW Welded FOR 25 YEARS,
Silver Wedding Anniversary Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Paul Neumann.
Celebration One OF the PIeasantest
Events Given in Honolulu-Eumereus
Presents-CongratuIat

One of the pleasantest events Of
the season was the reception given
at the residence of Mr.. and Mrs.
Paul Neumann last night, the occa-
sion being a celebration Of their
silver wedding. During the even
ing over 400 friends were present
and joined heartily into the cele-
bration.
The delightful reception was fol-
lowed by a minuet.
This, introduced during the first
part of the evening, was certainly
one of the prettiest and best exc
cuted features ever witnessed in
Honolulu. Although danced here
before, the effort made last night
was perhaps the most successful.
AS the strains of the music
foated out upon the lanai. the
dancers appeared gliding grace
fully into the room. First came j.
S. Walker and Miss Neumann,
followed by A. Isenberg and Miss
Kulumanu Ward, Lieutenant Zieg-
ermeyer and Mrs. Bruguerre, J. M.
Monsarrat and Mrs. Porter Boyd.
AS the dancers issued from the
room each couple courtesied grace
fully to Mr.. and Mrs. Neumann, who
were seated in the place Of honor.
The enjoyment of the dance was
much appreciated by those who
witnessed it.
Later in the evening the Hawai-
hau orchestra, stationed near the
lanai, furnished music for dancing,
which was INDUCED in until a late
hour. There were several hun
dred prominent guests present dur
ing the evening.
The presents were numerous and
beautiful. Among the collection
were dinner sets, forks, knives,
spoons, tray plates, salad and
asparagus forks, bureau set, cut
glass vases encased in silver and
candle holders.
Mr.. and Mrs. Neumann treated
their guests right royalty and
gained the admiration of all those
present by their ease and grace in
entertaining.
Mrs. Neumann and Lieutenant
McVeigh, Of the Bennington,
danced Spanish cachuca to the
music of the ala Paloma."

Holy Land Souvenir.

Benjamin F. Coulter, Jr., of Los
Angeles, Cal, who spent some time
in this city during last February
en- route around the world, has
reached Jerusalem. The last mail
brought a magnificent souvenir
from the Holy Land to Mrs. T. D.
Garvin, aunt of Mr.. Coulter, in the
shape of an album made of olive
wood, containing a large collection
of flowers indigenous to the country.
A process enables the flowers to re-
tain original shape and color, the
selection being from among rare
varieties gathered from Bethlehem,
Mount Olives and other noted
places. Accompanying the souvenir
were several views of the city of
Jerusalem and points around and
about.
