The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1897-04-15

ANOTHER rumor current yesterday
was that some means would be taken to
get the question of the validity of the
Macarthur act before the Cour Of APP
peals, or at least a full bench of the
Supreme Court, prior to May l. No de-
tails we're given as to how this was to
b done. Presumably it was to be by
raising an issue over.some detail of the
election work and taking it into court on
an application for a writ of certiorari-
This would be feasible if the proceeding
were not made collusive. II a Republican
were the other party to the suit, and if
Mr.. Hoos' counsel were debarred from
being heard. 1t would be outrageous; but
If the issues were so framed that The
Democratic interests could be fairly rep
resented before the court, and If all dila-
tory proceedings were avoided. the public
would perhaps be rather pleased to have
q decision by the higher tribunal upon
the points raised. There is assuredly no
doubt as to what the decision would be.

SALARIES NOT RAISED,
They Are Graded According to the
Number of Years of
Service,
The School Board Holds Its Regular
Monthly Meeting Last Eve
ming.

All of the members Of the school
board were present at last nights
meeting except Messrs. Cray and
Caughlan.
AS soon as the minutes of the pre-
vious meetings had been disposed Of,
Mr., Fletcher rose and said that there
is an erroneous impression among
the people that the hoard had raised
the salaries of some of the teachers,
and that this impression ought to be
corrected. The salaries have not been
raised, but have been changed in &C
cordance with resolution adopted by
the board several years ago fixing the
salaries of teachers on the basis of the
number of years taught, Many think
that the board should pay teachers
according so the quality of the teach
ing, but this cannot be done. There
are eight members of the board and
they could never agree as to the
quality of the teacher. In large
cities, the salaries are always fixed
according to the time taught, and
must be so wherever there are as
many teachers as there are here
There are probably some teachers in
Mankato who are receiving $40 a
month who are doing better work
than $50 and $50 a month teachers,
but there is no remedy.

TRAMPS GALORE.
Gangs of Weary Wiilies Found Camp.
ed on the Outskirts.

Yesterday afternoon Officers Kelly
and Daniels responded to a call motif
flying them that eight tough looking
tramps were camped near'the mouth
of Warren creek, on the Minnesota
river bank. When the officers ar
rived, all had dispersed except an old
man who is a crippled shoemaker, and
who afterwards tried to: find work,
but could not.
Later, thirteen tramps were found
camped near Wagons slaughter house,
and were ordered by the police to
move on. They were feasting on can
ned goods from the Patterson build
ing.
AS warm weather approaches, the
country is filling up with tramps. The
stone pile can be made good use of in
making Mankato an unpopular place
for tramps to stop. Otherwise, the
city will be overrun, and petty THEY
ing will increase.

a new. county road, beginning at the
southwest corner of Rapidan and ex-
tending due east one mile. 1t will

were appointed a committee to in
vestigate the condition of the planks
on the bridge over the outlet of Lake
Crystal, near Murphys place, and
were given authority to purchase such
planks as are actually necessary for
the safety of teams. The committee
will examine the bridge tomorrow.
The whole board as a committee
examined theabridge over the Blue
Earth river, at the end of West Front
street, late this afternoon to see
whether it needs replanking.
The board adjourned this afternoon,

10, THE POOR INDIAN.
tie Tarried too Long Over the Rye,
and Lost His Child.
Got Started Again on the Night Train
for Sioux City.

Among the passengers on the Omaha
train who got off for dinner yesterday
noon Was man who might have been
called either an Indian or negro.
He claimed to be an Indian, and prob
ably half the blood that flowed under
his dark skin was from each race. he
was on his way to Sioux City and
thence TO some Indian reservation,
having been on visit to a tribe up
north, and his six-year-old daughter
was with him. The father was dressed
like an ordinary citizen, but the girl
was more curiously arrayed, and the
little one could not speak English.
The Indian did not care for Saul
paugh dinner, so he wandered around
until he saw the sign of a well known
saloon and entered to get lunch. He
fingered over the "ham ands" anC
pretzels until the train had departed
taking his daughter with it. When
he returned to the depot, despair was
pictured on his face for his ticket hao
been taken up by the conductor and
the only visible evidence that he had
of his destination was the ticket in
his hat, bearing the station number
The depot officials took him up stairs
to the superintendent Office, where
he pleaded: "Me poor IDjun. Bought
ticket to Sioux town. Cost heal
money. Can't buy another ticket
Little gal gone on car"
Poor Lo was informed that steps
would be taken to straighten out his
tru, bles The railway officials tele
gra, he'd to Lake Crystal to have the
little girl stopped there and placed on
the return train, and transportation
to Sioux City was provided for both
After this had been arranged, Lo went
out and drowned his troubles in fire
water, coming back to the depot well
loaded. The girl arrived on the ga;
p. m. train, and both departed on the
11:30 p. m. train.

MILL STARTS UP.
Judge CALDWELL Signs an Order
Which SETS the Wheels
Moving.
All the Wheat Offered Will Be Pur'
chased, Including That Now
Stored.

Attorney Pau went to LeSueur this
morning and applied to Judge Cad
we'll on behalf of Assignee Barr for an
order to permit the mill to be run by
the assignee. Judge Caldwell readily
granted this request, and Mr.. Pfau
telegraphed the fact back during the
forenoon. The employees were at once
set to work getting the mill into shape
to grind under the new management
and it started up at one O'Clock this
afternoon. Mr.. Barr believes that
he can operate the mill at a
profit, and asidefrom this it will be
better for the machinery to keep it in
operation, besides giving employment
to fifty people, and keeping up the
wheat market.
Mr.. Barr will have his office at the
mill most of the time. No change
will be made in the force of the en-
ployes, at least for the present.
Elsewhere in this issue Mr.. Barr
gives notice that he will purchase all
wheat offered, as heretofore, and that
those farmers that have wheat stored
at the mill can receive their money
for it at any time or take it
away, if they so desire. None
of these farmers will suffer loss,
and as far as they are concerned the
fact of the assignment having been
made will make no difference. The
mill must have wheat, and lots of it,,
to keep in operation, and the highest
market price will be paid, as hereto
fore, Any rumors that may have
gained circulation that any Of the
farmers who have wheat now stored
at the mill wonld lose it is entirely
without foundation.
The schedules of assets and liabili-
ties are now being prepared, and will
undoubtedly be filed with the clerk OF
court Saturday.
Mr.. Hubbard left this afternoon fol
Chicago, expecting to return Saturday

Supt. sKenasJon stated that he
would make his reports to state and
county superintendent and to the
secretary of the board, as soon as pos
siibe, and turn over the keys, etc. He
would freely render all the help neces-
sary to Prof. Varney in getting things
in shape. He asked the president of
the board to name member to pre-
sent the diplomas to the graduating
class Friday night.
DR.. Davis moved that the superin-
tendent be authorized to present the
diplomas, and this was carried,
Secretary, Brewster called attention
to the fact that'th annual election
of the school district will be heldJuly
18th, and said that arrangements
should be made for copying the poll
lists and publishing the notice of
election.
Mr.. Fletcher moved that the notice
of election be published in the FREE
PRESS and ReUaeoU, and this was car
ried.
Bills to the amount of S3615 were
allowed.
Mr.. Brewster said that three or
four bills in his drawer in the Patter-
son building we're burned, and that he
could not remember whose bills they
were.
In reply to question, Supt. Kenas-
ton said that those who had been re-
commended conditionally for gradua-
tion had done we'll in their examina-
tions,> but that the conditions would
not be settled until Friday.
The diplomas were signed up.
The board adjourned until next
Wednesday evening, June 9th, when
when the bids for the construction of
the annex to the West Mankato
school building will be opened, and a
teacher will be elected for the East
Mankato school.
