increase Of the school population OF
this city is 80 great as to necessitaie
the expenditure OF a large sum each
year in school buildings.
In 1897 there were about n,ooo more
school children than in 1896, and an
even larger increase may be expected
next year, and the next. and so on. a
school building that win accommodate
1l.o00 pupils will costincluding the site
about $4,000 and the board must figure
on spending at least this amount each
year for this purpose. Whether 1t VIII
be put into one or more structures is
matter for the board TO decide.
Inasmuch as so large an amount OF
building must be done every year
would 1t not be good plan for the

own purchasing of material, and dis

employees of the board were faithful
and honest, the school would get the
most and best for the money expended.
But there is a question whether In
corruptible honesty and the highest
ability could always be secured in a

PROFITABLE LOSSES.

Before the "News'' will again be per-
mltted to communicate with it's readers
this city will lose two important np-
pendages, the expiring city Councii
and the permanently defunct fire ana
police board. There are many per-
sons. probably, who will object to the
application of the adjective import
ant" to either OF these bodies. and we
hasten to explain that the word Is
here used I'm reference to their func-
tions only
The everlasting scrapping, the
patience-trying procrastination' the
wire-pulllng. the business incompe-
tenoy. the reckless disregard of the
peoples RIGHTS as in the Warm Springs
matter. not to mention the blatant
drunkenness and maudiln buffoonery,
that have characterized and disgraced
the methods and sessions of the city
Council. make its record disgusting
and its death with the dying year
happy relief for all citizens who feel
any pride in the character, or interest
In the welfare of the city.
There are members of the body VINO
are hlghminded, honorable and digni-
fed; whose patriotism and honesty
are genuine, and who are temperate,
able and sober; but the opposite eie-
ment has b en- strong enough to lmpart
to the body as whole an unenviable
reputation. The reports given by the
daily press of the City Councils pro-
ceedings sufficiently indicate where the
dividing line falls among its members.
AS to the fire and police board, it has
so long and so fagrantly defled both
the spirit and the letter OF the law
that created 1t as to make itself an IN
sufferable nuisance. Recently 1t has
added to its character as SUCH the iur-
Their attribute of absurd and incredioie
inbecility. That is, the proceedings
of some of it's members have been of
this nature. Spite, bigotry, incom-
potency and total disregard OF pub
lie as distinguished from personal in
terests and ends have so long and SO
far characterized the doings of TINS
delectable institution that the general
Public will rejoice to forget that such
n dlSturDer OF lls ptNce anu suNh ~
infection upon Its patience ever ex-
listed.
Under the administration of Mayor
who was elected by a non-partisan
vote. and consequently has at his dis
posal, as appointees to office, the best
men in all the parties, and who Will
control appointments in the FIRE and
police departments, the people of this
city may confidently anticipate relief
from many of the ills they have en-
cured during the past two years, to go
no further back. This confidence Is
further justified by the high class OF
men who will comprise u strong ma
jority of the new City Council.
All things earthly, the evil as well
az the good, have an end; and one OF
the gladdening features of the new
years dawn, so far as the people OF
this city Is concerned, is the cheering
fact that an unsavory half dozen OF
so will permanently retire from the
business of dealing in municipal az
fairs. Vale. q happy vale!

ity that 1t seems necessary for their
well-being to spend certain time of

Glad Tidings.

The Minneapolis Tribune last Mon
day printed the glad tidings that
George G. Thorpe had been heard
from by friends in Washington since
the time of the reported murder, and
is safely on his way home: What
was the induction of the canard re-
port of his death is probably mys-
terry that will always remain SO.
Anyhow, the news Of his being we'll
and on his way home, if true, will be
heralded with delight and by joyous
hearts py his grief stricken relatives,
who have hardly dared to believe the
glad news for fear their fond hopes
would be shattered to the winds.
A lette; from George was received
by Dr.Thorpe Of Minneapolis lastMon-
day which stated that he (George) was
in Athens Aug. %, and expects to be
home the first of October. He was
undoubtedly on his way home when
the news of his murder was flashed
across the ocean.

The Betts=Losee Co.

The Betts-Losee., which is booked
here for this afternoon and evening
as a windup of their three-nights en-
gagement, gave two performances
last Monday and Tuesday evenings.
The first and opening night was
"Alone in the World" which took the
people by compile surprise. 1t sur
prised them inasmuch as it excelled
even their most sanquine expecta-
tons, and was far better show than
they had dared to expect. The COM
pany is all right, and is unquestion-
ably one of the best troupes that ever
visited this city. Last night they
played that rolicking, roaring comedy,
"A Nights Frolic," to packed house.
It is a rare treat to the theatre-going
people here and is highly appre-
ciated.
Tonight will be presented "A
Klondyke Claim" which is something
new and comical, sort of take-off
on the present gold craze. A matinee

HARNESS THIEVES.
Five Sets of Harness Stolen last
Friday Night.

Of late this town seems infested
with all sorts of tough characters
who drop in pretty nearly every day
and keep coming and going. Last
Friday night the town was visited by
a set of harness thieves and no less
than five sets of single harness are
now missing. Some party or parties
visited F. E. NewelPs barn and took
set of single harness belonging to
Mr.. Newell and one belonging to
VIM. Campbell. Probably the same
parties entered VIM. Wunsch's barn,
as there was fine set of harness
missing from there the next morning.
Some one, and likely the same ones,
entered Miss Igo's barn and pur-
Joined another set. Whoever the
party is he ought to be well supplied
with harnesses, but if he is ever
caught he will think they are rather
expensive before the authorities get
through with him. AS yet there is
no clue to the perpetrators.

Dead Letter Law.

Our attention has been recently
called to a matter Of most vital i'm
portance, which shows negligence on
the part of good many parents in
this city, and also lieniency on the
part Of the authorities. Now that
school has commenced let all the chill
dren who are old enough attend. But
do they? No, they do not. Any day
and at almost any time, numerous
children can be seen aimlessly wan
dering about the street that ought to
be attending school, and if the par
ents are not thoughtful enough to
send them, the proper authorities
ought to take the matter in hand and
see that the law is lived up to. We
have law on our statutes that makes
it compulsory for parents to send
their children to school a certain
number of months in the year, and if
the law is going to be entirely ignored
steps should be taken to wipe it off
the statutes. Children should be ed
ucated, and parents should exercise
their authority over them while they
are young, as they will soon attain
the age that they are not so easily
controlled.

The Depot Question.

Great Northern surveyors were here
the first of the week, and occupied
their time surveying out depot
grounds and yards north of town.
All sorts of rumors have been freely
floating through the air all week and
most of them without the least found
alton. It was learned, though, from
very reliable source, that it was the
intention OF the company to remove
the yards and depot north of town at
some future date not far distant, but
as to just how far seems a conjecture.
It was very authoratively stated re-
Gently, by party who knows, that
the company intends putting the de-
pot 400 feet north of the first mile
post. Should the company attempt
to do this it would undoubtedly
cause howl of indignation from the
residents of Morris. If there is any
thing in that proposition, we rather
think it is made as bluff in order to
get the city to grant some conces-
sions to the company. 1t is also stat
ed that they will establish yards and
freight depot north of town and leave
the depot stand as it is for passenger
use. But to this latter proposition
we are unable to get any confirmation.
The people can take it for granted
that there is going to be a change
made Of some kind in regard to depot
and yard facilities in the near future

His Reasons.

Herbert Belts, the young actor now
appearing in this city, tells an anus
ing story about his father, the Rev
Geo. G. Belts, whose extremely high
church tendencies are too widely
known to need comment here. On
one occasion Father Belts, as he is
lovingly called by his Pensioners,
was approached by brother Epis-
copalian and asked the question:
''What reasons have you for not
embracing the Roman faith since you
are SO near Rome in your belief?"
"There are but five good reasons,
promptly replied Father Belts.
"And what are they?" eagerly asked
his friend, anticipating a theological
discussion.

BLEW GREAT GUNS.
Sundays Storm Works Havoc
to Stacks and Sheds.

Last Sunday afternoon this county
was visited by wind and rain storm
of no small dimensions. 1t was very
warm and sultry all day, and clouds
began to gather about noon. In the
middle of the afternoon we were
visited by a heavy rain and wind
storm which almost developed into
a cyclone. The heavy wind blew the
rain in binding sheets before it, and
it was hardly safe to get outside of
the house.
The damage done is quite extern
sive, as already reported, and proba-
bly, still greater damages have oc-
cured that have not been reported.
Almost every farmer in the country
mourn the loss Of his grain stacks;
that is, they were blown down and in
some cases scattered over the field,
and will cause a great deal of re-
stacking to be done.
J. L. Gould, west of town, was
somewhat shaken up. Besides his
stacks being blown down, the Chin
neys of his house were blown off and
some sheds and outbuildings tossed
around like playthings.
Out in Framnas the wind was
equally destructive. Justin Berkin's
barn was blown TO smithereens, while
all the sheds on A. E, Anderson's
place were reduced to kindling wood
and the house moved off it's founda-
ton.
In town here the next morning the
awnings and signs presented a sorry
plight, being twisted or broken from
their fastenings in almost every case.
J. D. Good suffers the loss of large
plate glass window, where an awning
broke from its fastenings and forced
an entrance. The damages done are,
of course, slight in expense, yet they
have proved more than a trife an
noyance. The rain beat down inces-
sanity all through the storm, which
thoroughly soaked the stacks after
blowing them over, and will cause
delay to the threshing crews. No re-
port of lives lost, or live stock being
injured has been received.
