decorations incident to and in honor of
the Thtrt1eth National encampment

The small amount expended for char

known that we had resources other
than the post fund to meet these neces-
sary requirements.

prominent part taken by it's members,

In the Fifth and Seventh Wards,
and An Extra Sum for the

The dispute over how the $4,000 i'll
the tax estimate was to be divided
so as to give all the wards additional
school buildings was amicably settled
yesterday. 1t was given out that this
contention would result in the holding
up Of the budget in the assembly, ow-
ing to the fact that the committee who
passed on the estimate Friday did not
allow Assemblyman Thompson SIS, 900
for a new school house in the Second
ward. The matter was informally dis
cussed all the afternoon yesterday by
eight of the twenty members, who have
vote on the estimate. A plan was
finally agreed on which will distribute
the 900 as follows:

The installation of the officers of
Acker Post, G. A. r., recently elected
for the ensuing year, took place at
Central hall last night. The impressive
ceremonies were witnessed by as large
an assemblage as the hall could accom-
modate. Music and addresses followed
the installation, after which refresh
ments were served by the Woman's
Relief corps.
The installation of the officers of
Acker Relief corps preceded that of
the post. A list of the officers installed
is published herewith. This ceremony
concluded, G. E. Kessler played a cor
net solo. Then came the event of the
evening
Past Commander H. A. Castle, who
of1clated as the installing officer, read
the ritual, and the following officers
were formally installed:
Commander, M. K. Williams; senior

After the Ladies' Aeolian quartette
had contributed two selections, Rukard
Hurd addressed the veterans. It was
a patriotic speech that Mr.. Hurd gave
them. He assured them that though
they were the country's saviors a gen
GRAFTON ago, they were still needed, with
their ripe experience, to aid in molding
public opinion and to help in cultivat
ing and inspiring a high standard Of
loyalty and unselfish patriotism. The
need for patriotism Of the right sort
was pressing. There were too many
citizens who neglected their duty by
failing to vote. In Minnesota alone
$4,000 citizens had not voted at the last
general election.

Assemblyman Kirke said now would
be a good time to purchase a site for
a school in the Seventh ward, as the
property could undoubtedly be secured
for half what it would cost in a year
or so. Aid. Bigelow made the same
argument for the Eighth ward, and the
members present agreed to a portion of
the amount to be spent for this pur-
pose. Assemblyman Thompson made
such strong talk for new building
in the Second ward that it was con-
sidered best to allow him SIS, 900 for the
new school, rather than have a row
over it, which might result in the bud
get being held up.
Aid. Shepard said a new fOur-rOOm
building, to be erected in the vicinity
Of University and Fairview avenues,
would relieve the over-crowded condi-
tons of the schools at Merriam Park
and Hamline. If this was not thought
advisable, the money could be spent
in building an addition to the Long
fellow school Of four rooms. Aid. Kali
dunSki was allowed an extra $4,000 to
cause the building of the new school
on Wayzatta street to be proceeded
With. What remained of the $35, 900 was
then decided upon to be expended in
securing small buildings to relieve the
OVer-croWded condition Of the schools
in the several wards
Inc gentlemen present at the meet
ing were Aid. Shepard, Kaldunski Lar
son and Bigelow and AssembIymen
Krke. Craig, Thompson and Mabon.
In order that there might be no mis-
take, each councilman took q copy Of

sembly Tuesday night the proposed
change will be made.

Of Ramsey county for the filing of the
findings ordering the decree of divorce.
Judge Egan filed the findings Dec 2

The ADMINISTRATIVE then asked that the

Mrs. Macreadys No. /. hearing of
this, engaged John w. Pinch as her
attorney to oppose the motion and ask
for a stay, on the ground that she had
never been divorced from Macreadv

been filed, and that therefore she was
entitled to a wife's interest in his es-
tate Moreover, the findings were not
actually filed until after the death of
the defendant in the case, and the
court could not therefore order q. decree
of divorce to be entered against a
dead man. Judge Egan granted a stay
of thirty days. In the meantime the
judges term of office expired and when
the case came before Judge Kelly a
week ago, he continued the stay for an
other week. v4sf

to Vacate the stay and enter the de-
cree OF divorce against the first Mrs
Macready. Her attorney insists that
Mrs. Macready No. is not a party to
the action, the defendant being dead.
tnd. that, Mrs. Macready, No /, being
the plaintiff, is the only party who
can rightfully ask the court to enter
the decree of divorce. Mr.. Pinch also
asks that all papers filed in the case
by the administrative be stricken from
the record.
Judge Lewis will hear the case at
special term next Saturday.

Macready Divorce Case VIII Be
Argued Tomorrow


Argued Tomorrow.
The Macready divorce case was be-
fore Judge Lewis yesterday on a mo-
ton to vacate the stay originally grant
ed by Judge Egan and continued for
q week by Judge Kelly. Judge Lewis
extended the stay for one week more
when the arguments will be heard. The
case IS extremely interesting and
equally novel i'll view Of the fact that
James Macready, the defendant in the
divorce proceedings, is dead. Further
more, the plaintiff, Ida Macready, does
not want decree of divorce, and her
attorneys insist that no court can
grant decree of divorce from O. dead
man. The history of the case in brief.
is this:
Ida Macready sued James Macreadv
In 1892, for a divorce on the ground
of desertion. No defense was made
and 1t was understood that Judge Egan
who tried the case, would find for the
plaintiff. But neither the findings nor
the decree were filed at the time. The
decree has not been filed yet. Assum-
Ing that they were divorced, James
NLacrSady, who had moved to New
Jersey, married, while Ida Macready
was welded to Charles J. Anderson at
New Brighton, with whom she has
since lived. Last June Mr.. Macreadv
died Interstate, leaving an estate val
ued at some $4,000 or $4,000. His
second wife was appointed administra-
,trlK. But when 1T came to settling the
estate, she was asked to produce evil
dence that Mr.. Macready had been d.
vorced from his first wife Not having

afternoon and considered several rou-
tine matters referred to them. The
committee decided to allow Evangelist
Horton the use Of that part of the
lower floor of the market house, for
merly occupied by Yerxa Bros, until
April l, at rental Of $75 peumonth. AS
semblyman A1brecht said he did not
wish to be Impairment but he wanted
Mr.. Horton to assure the committee
that the rent would be paid when due
Mr.. Horton said that part of the build
ing which he desired to rent would be
used for the purpose Of holding evan
gelical meetings in and he could inform
the committee that the rent would be
arranged for before the hall was occu-
pied. 1t was further understood be-
tween the committee and Mr. Horton
that in case there was a chance to rent
the premises with more advantage to
the city he would move to another part
of the building. The chairman was au-
thorized to have a hole in the roof of
the building repaired at a cost of not
more than 500.

ANDERSON Is SAFE,
SI<afGaren's Editor Gets the Dairy
CommissiOnership Again.

Gov. Clough yesterday continued his
distribution of New Years gifts. ana
perhaps the gladdest man about the
capitol was Berndt Anderson, the edi-
tor of Skaffaren, who was rewarded for
his years Of fealty to the Republican
party by the appointment to the dairy
commissionership for a third term
There was a great deal of opposition
to Anderson, one charge being that he
was not a practical dairyman; the
other that he had not displayed suf-
fcient activity in the recent campaign
when the First ward of this city. where
Mr.. Anderson lives, knitted CIough
right and left. The governor. however,
seems to have based his appointment
on the fact that the department during
the last year or two has run smoothly
and continued the present chief.
The governor also appointed DR.. J.
e. Sawyer, of this city, as a member
of the state medical board for the term
ending Jan. l, 1899. Dr. SAWYER sue
