SCHOOL MEETING.
VIM. Webb Elected Director

The annual school meeting for the
city OF Lancaster was held in the
chapel of the South building Monday
evening.
n meeting was called to order BY
ID. Schreiner. The other members Of
the board. DR.. $. L. Hassen and r.
Meyer. Jr. occupied seats on the plat
form with him. DIR. Hassell read the
minutes of the last annual meeting
which were approved. Next in or
der came the election Of a director in
place Of Mr.. d. Schreiner whose term
of office had expired. On motion it
was decided to take an informal ball
lot. The result was VIM. +. Webb
received 10 votes. ID. Schreiner 81
with four or five votes scattering. 1t
was moved and carried that the in
formal ballot be made formal and
VIM. +. Webb was declared elected
for the full term as director. The
treasurer's report was read BY r
Meyer Jr.. and adopted and a tax of
between 5000 and $500 voted to
meet the estimated expenses of the
coming year.
The subject Of the safety and
efficiency of the heating apparatus IN
the North school received considera-
ton. The board have until one wear
from next September to test the APP
paratus and are inclined to the opin-
ion that the system will prove salts
factory. The trouble thus far has
been it is believed from minor defects
which have been or will be remedied.
The seating of the chapel for a high
school room received the most spirited
discussion. 1t was shown that the
high school has out grown IT'S present
quarters. There viii probably be
considerably more than one hundred
students next year and the old room
will not comfortably seat more than
60 or 20. The only expense TO the
district will be in moving seats. cut
ting down platform and a few other
tritling matters. The motion to make
the change was made by C.. r. Show
alter. 1t was supported by Supt.
Nve, John Schreiner. DIR. Hassell, ID.
Schreiner, j. +. Lane and others.
The opposition was headed by Ed.
Pollock and ID. Needham. The vote
was almost unanimously in favor of
the proposition to use the chapel for
a high school assembly room. After
voting down a motion for the district
to provide free ext books, the meet-
ing adjourned.

sehncke Bass wedding.

At the residence of the brides par
ents in the town of Beetown on Mon
day july /. at u o'clock by Rev. p.
II. Mason. Miss Eta Edna Bass was
married to Mr.. Otto Behncke.
Ihev Lad driven in TO be married
at the parsonage. but rs Miss Edna
was not yet eighteen years of age, it
was necessary that the officiating
clergyman should have the consent
of the parents either in person or by
writing. They drove back home.
therefore and the minister followed
them on his bicycle. The journey of
eight miles was made in about is
minutes. The ceremony was perform
ed in the presence of the parents and
a few other friends. after which the
company sat down to a table loaded
with viands both of substantial and
delicate order, Soon after that there
might have been seen a man with his
bike on the dusty road making his
way through the heat back to Lancas-
ter. He met many teams. most of
which were willing to accord the bike
its right to half the road, but some
were guilty of using profanity. The
bike made no reply; it was as silent
as the man in the moon. Like all in
novatieus the wheel must win its place
by patience. 1t is generous and will
always turn out when it can.
Mr.. and Mrs. Behncke will set up
their home at once on a farm in Little
Grant. They give promise OF making
a success in life. 1t is to be hoped
that they will till the soil and Guilt
waite their characters. They have the
best wishes of their many friends.
