tion of a site' by which the commission
voted to locate 1t at Hastings, did not amount
to complete location or selection Of the site
within the meaning OF the act; that the mat
ter was still in feri and hence within the
power of the commission to locate the site
elsewhere IL they saw fit.
This being so it follows a fortiori that un-
der any view of the law there was no such
acceptance Of the offer Of the City of Hastings
as would constitute it binding contract be-
tween the parties.
This disposes of the case and the result
is that the order of the trial court dissolving
the Injunction, is affirmed.
The syllabus of the case is as follows:
State ex rel, H. w. Childs, attorney gener-
al, appellants, VS.. Clarence E. Bondy ct al,
respondents.
First-Held. That under chapter 157 Cen
eral Laws of 1885, entitled an act to create a
commission to locate, acquire land and pre-
pare plans for fourth hospital for the in
sane, that the location of site within the
meaning of the act signifies and includes not
merely a determination as to that part of the
state where it should be located but also a
selection and designation of the precise tract
or parcel of ground upon which the hospital
should be located and until this was done the
location was incomplete, and therefore, the
commission still had the power to reconsider
any partial tentative action which it had
taken upon the subject.
Second-Held further, that conceding with
out deciding that after the commission had
once located site, its power would be
functus officio, and, therefore, without the
power to reconsider or change its location,
yet, upon the facts appearing in the record,
the viva voce vote the location of a site
by which the commission voted to locate it at
Hastings did not amount to q complete To-
cation selection of the site within the
meaning of the act, nor did it amount to such
an acceptance of the offer of the City of Hast
ings as to make it a binding contract between
the parties and hence it was within the power
of the commission to locate the site elsewhere.

a decision reversing the action of the
district court of Renville county, which
refused new trial to one William

What's the matter with the old man
now?" said the sailors as they looked
around the horizon and saw nothing but
sunshine aud the clear sky.
Nevertheless all hands turned to
getting in the light sails. The captain
took the wheel and sent me to assist. OF
course we all thought it was piece Of
foolishness, but we worked with will
because the captain told us to.

His words Verified.

About 20 years ago certain southern
man brought suit against the South
Carolina railroad for damages to his
property He lost the case in the supe-
rior court, but insisted upon carrying
it to the supreme court, where he repre-
scented his own cause. He began his ar
gument by saying whimiscally:
May it please the court, there is an
old French adage which says, A man
who is his own lawyer hath fool for a
client. >"
The next week the supreme court
pronounced its decision, which was adj
verse to the southerner. He was in An
gusta at the time, but received the an
nouncement of his second and final dis
appointment by means of telegram
sent him by "A prominent judge, who
was an intimate friend of his.
The telegram read as follows: Judg

Trunk Labels.

ST wish you would have a porter
come up and wash the labels of my
trunks, 7" remarked a well dressed man
as he signed his name to the book at the
Continental last night. The guest as he
spoke pointed to three big trunks that
stood in the baggage room. The trunks
were covered with the various labels
that indicated that they had made a
long continental journey. In days gone
by these labels were the proper thing,
and the man just home from Europe
considered those glaring tags as almost
sacred. But fashion has changed this
year, thanks of the Prince Of Wales set
ting the pace, and now these glaring
showbills indicative Of travel are no
longer in vogue. - Philadelphia In

THE EGG DANCE
A Beautiful Feat That Il Performed by
HIndoO Juggling Girls

HIndoo Juggling Girls.
One of the most wonderful Of the
many feats performed by Hindoo jug
glers is the egg dance. Usually it is ex-
ecuted by girl, Enthusiastically dressed.
She makes use Of the willow wheel,
around which at equal distances are
threads, and at the end of each thread
there is a moose, held open by bead.
This wheel the girl places on her
head, while she carries a basket Of eggs
on her arm When the music strikes up,
she begins to dance, and the wheel be-
gins to spin around. She then takes an
egg from the basket, places it in one Of
the thread nooses and throws it from
her with sufficient force to draw the
knot tight The spinning Of the wheel
keeps the thread stretched, with the egg
at the end Of it.
She then takes another egg from the
basket, places il in another moose and
repeats this until there is an egg in ev-
cry moose Her fantastic costume, her
perfect motion and ali the eggs swing
ing on the stretched threads 1T once pre-
sent very pretty sight indeed Il re-
quires much art TO execute the dance,
for at one false step the eggs would be
dashed together, the dance spoiled and
the dancer thereby disgraced
After dancing for time with all the
eggs swinging around her head she takes
them ont of the moose one by one, all
the time keeping the wheel balanced
and in motion, and again places them
in the basket on her arm.
When the dance is finished, the spec
tators are allowed to examine the eggs
to see that they are real. Philadelphia

There are q few miscellaneous
blanks, maps and supplementary
reading books, ETC., prescribed, but
these are not compulsory. The law
says: mo pupil or school shall be
required to use supplementary read

Nally & Cos. wall maps or object
drawing, unless the parent or guar
dian elect to do so, and no deposi.
tary shall be required to keep the
same on hand for sale.n
The keeping of the text books for
sale is not confined to the person or
persons who may contract with the
publishers to do so. The law says !:
"The text books selected and pre-
scribed shall be sold by said pub
fishers to any Board of Education,
depositary, teacher, pupil, parent or
guardian or other person of this
State at prices not exceeding the net
contract prices named in connection
with said books in the law
In fact, local dealers can buy of
wholesale houses at a greater dis
count than depositaries can of the
publishers and hence can realize
more profit on the books sold st the
published prices.
