two officers put in an appearance and there

friendly and altogether satisfactory way,
and they have the thanks and praise of
the order for their assistance. All visitors

Special Town Meeting.

The town meeting of last Saturday was
very quiet and harmonious, about 125 voters
being present. Moderator Ryder read the
call and Judge Read the report of the build
ing committee of the High school, which
after little discussion was accepted and
adopted. The effect of this was to materi-
ally increase the appropriation and author
ize the committee to build and equip a
building without limiting the expenditure
to any fixed sum. At the former meeting
there was authority given them to erect
building at an expense of not exceeding
$50, 900, including the land. Seven thou
sand dollars was paid for the lot, leaving
but $4,000 for the building. Their report
Saturday showed the town could not build
the building at less than $4,000 for the
main part, which would be enough to sup
ply present needs that the cost of the
four-room addition, which must soon be
needed, would be $4,000 now, or a consid-
erably larger sum if built at a later date,
making $40,S00. This is exclusive of
seats, grading the land and cost of archi-
tect and supervision. The committee
recommended the town to erect the build
ing complete and grade the grounds at
this time, and their request was acceded
to without limit. The architect is this
week making necessary changes in plans
and specifications, and they will be ready
to close the contract within few days,
and work will be begun at once. The con-
tract will probably be awarded to Burling-
ton men. The building committee are L.
M. Read, j. T. Moore, S. T. Coy, B. Can

EVIDENCE EXCLUDED.
vhIch May Materially shorten the Trial
Of scott jackson.

CIYcrSNATI, April 97.-Detective
Grim took the witness stand in the
Scott jackson trial this morning, and
described the scene of the murder in
the afternoon of the day the body was
found. la reply to II question from
the prosecutor Grim stated he
searched Jackson's room on February Q
and found black pair of stockings,
a lady's poclsct-book with chain at
tached toit, two pairs of white gloves,
a cap in the closet and letters addressed
to Scott Jackson. Witness was ques-
toned as to the statements made by
Jackson and Walling at the time Of
their arrest. After detailing the charges
and counter charges of the prisoners
in Mayor Caldwell's office on the
night of February 8, the judge
instructed the jury to exclude from
the minds all of the testimony OF
Mevor Caldwell and Detective Grim
relating to anything which Walling
NAV have charged Jackson with and
which Jackson denied. This ruling OF
Judge Helm shuts off very sensa.
tional story, part of which is that Of
Walling about jackson that he was
going to kill Pearl Bryan with CO.
caine.

A VERY BITTER FIGHT
Anticipated Over the River ard
Harbor Bill 10 the House,
AND IT NAY DELAY THE ADJOURNMENT
Until June Il Although There are Som.
Who Think Business May B, Cleared
Up by May IS, Unless In the
Case Of Vetd.

wAsHNeroS, April :I.--A morning
paper says;
On the house side. among the oldest
and best.informed members, the i'm
preston is general that congress will
adjourn some time between May Is and
June |. II there il no delay over the
river and hRrbor bill II Is expected
that an adjournment viii he reached
as early as May Is. Is Is thought;
however, that the measure will excite
considerable opposition, and a very
bitter fight Is anticipated over Califor-
MIA harbor items senator White Is
understood TO be determined on max
Ing fight on the floor against the bill
unless there is change OF the present
decision of the committee. which is In
favor of Santa Monica.
In connection with the river and
harbor bill members are making
predictions that the measure will meet
with presidential veto. Those who
make these predictions claim to
be en- rapport with the pres
ent sentiment entertained in the
White House. The bill is said
to be the largeoi appropriation
bill ever sent to the senate, and has
been greatly increased since by the
appropriation committee. The objec-
tion to IL at the White House is based
on the large continuing contracts
which saddle heavy obligations on con-
gress for years to come. A veto of this
bill would doubtless result in an un-
expected delay in the date OF adjourn
ment.
A large majority of the senator's
almost all Of them in fact-now re-
gard early adjournment as quite
definitely determined upon. II the
democrats and populists entertained
any idea of attempting to prolong the
sessions beyond the national conven.
tions they appear to have given II up,

yond tho LIST Of June.
