The Proposition LIS Endorsed by It.
l.. Schumacher.

l.. Schumacher.
President Theodore L. Schurmeier, Of
the Minnesota immigration society, Is
very enthusiastic over the proposition
to have an appropriate state exhibit at
the Paris exposition in 1900. He has
sounded a number of the prominent
business and professional men, and
they agree that such display would
be a splendid advertisement for the
state. It is said that Minneapolis Is
also favorably disposed to the idea,
and is ready to work in bringing the
matter to q successful issue. Said Mr..
Schumacher:
II do not know how the legislature
will receive the suggestion for a Paris
exhibit, but 1t should not take long
to convince an intelligent man that a
good exhibit, such as this state is ca
pable of sending, one that would rep
resent Minnesota products and indus
tries would be a splendid thing for the
state The Paris exposition Will be
one of the greatest things of the kind
that has occurred during this century,
not excepting the worlds fair at Chi
cago. L do not think 1t would cost a
great deal Of money to get up such an
exhibit. 1t would not be necessary &c
go IN quite so steep as we did at the
worlds fair, but we should do some
thing handsome.
Financially speaking, there is no
state In the Union better able to spread
itself in a matter of this kind than
Minnesota. The money given for this
purpose would be well spent, as the
advertisement for Minnesota would
more than compensate the outlay
Il would suggest that the immigra-
ton department take the matter in
hand, as it is more in the line Of it's
work. Personally, 1 would be willing
to work early and late TO make the
affair a success"

hauled the buggy in which Witt rode,
the affair created considerable amuse-
ment. Witt seated himself in the vehi-
Gle with Smith between the shafts at
$50 O'Clock, and for the next hour and
a half Smith ploughed through the
slush and mud of the streets in the
central part of the city drawing the
buggy at rapid pace There were
several stops during the ride, but these
did not appear to be of any great
benefit to Smith, who was compelled
to remain between the shafts Of the
buggy while Witt went inside the re-
rreshment resorts and RECALLED himself
with whatever he desired to drink.
There was quite procession of hacks
and sleighs containing friends of both
the rider and the steed following the
buggy. There were plenty of flags and
blasts from tin horns to add to the
excitement, and the novel affair was
witnessed by a large crowd.
Last Monday Smith and Witt laid a
wager on the outcome of the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons' fight. Smith selected
Corbett as the winner and Witt the Aus

DISTRICT DISPUTE ABOUT
TEACHERS.
HOW THESE MAY BE EMPLOYED.
Nothing to Prevent Old Board From
Hiring Instr uctOrs for the Period
Required by Law.

Stearns county has another school
district row, but, so far as the state
officials interested in it are concerned,
there is only one side to it. Two sets
of teachers have been elected in the
kfmball school district. The law re-
Iat1ng to the election of teachers in
school districts has been construed into
ordinary English by the attorney gen
eral on two occasions at the request Of
the state superintendent of instruction.
The second opinion from the legal de-
partment was in response to inquiry
or Supt. Pendergast, and was suggest
ed by the difficulty in this district,
The superintendent asked can a COM
mon school district, before election,
contract with teachers for more than
hve months: can they contract for
longer than five months if there are
available funds for carrying on the
school for longer period, and does 1t
make any difference if the teachers are
chosen on the day of the annual cleo
the superintendent asked, Can a COM
tlon?" Attorney General Childs' reply
is as follows: ss<
This department has already held in effect
tnat the trustees may contract for the SER
vices OF a teacher only for the maximum
period expressed in the statutes. At the
time when such opinion was rendered the
law provided that school should be taught
Tor at least three months IN each year. Since
then it has been so amended so as to raise
the minimum period from three to five
months. It was said. in the former opinion
that the language used in the sections of
the law referred to implies restriction
upon the powers aof ithe trustees, and If. in
advance Of the annual meeting Of the dis.
trict, and without the authority from the
district, they should hire a eacher for a
longer period than three months the con-
tract in excess Of three months would not
be binding upon the district unless il was
ratified by the district, and the legal voters
saw fit to levy altax to enable the trustees
to carry out their contract ~----.-
1t was further; held at that time that it
matters not whether it is before the an
nual meeting and the election of new mem
Der or not, the trustees may, without ex-
press authority from the district, contract
Tor three months school and no more and
all attempts to contract for a longer time
would not be binding on the district unless
ratified by the district
This will be deemed sufficiently responsive
