WALL PAPER
A LAST CHANCE.

1t is reported that the fine lot on
Marshall street Fourth Ward, adjoin-
ing the city school property on the
east will soon be improved by the
building of a fine residence. Three
years ago the city wanted to purchase
this property in order to open a street
through this, the largest block in the
city, and give a corner frontage to the
school property. If it is not now pur-
chased it will soon be too late to do
so at a reasonable figure and the
council may be petitioned to take
such action.

Assistant Attorney King today issued
dn opinion in reply to an interrogatory
from State Superintendent Carlisle
holding that the law relative to paying
commissions to county tax assessors
ana collectors and county judge as eX-
officio county school superintendent in
handling the school fund, remained the
same as before viz: is that they Sc
cure commissions for handling the
school fund. AS to the fees due the
county treasurer, Judge King holds
that under the laws passed by the last
Legislature he secures no fees out of
the school fund. Thus it is that the
county treasurer is the only man
lnocked out by the new law.

he gazes into store windows. and his
friend, who passes on the opposite
side, thinks he is waiting till the coast
is clear to pawn something. He ar
rives at the station half an hour be-
fore the train goes and gets iostled
by porters, parts with his baggage, or
goes to sleep in the baggage room,
and loses everything except a slow
train that takes him half way of his
destination, and deposits aim at an
inconsequent junction where there is
no refreshment bar. Worst of all, he
is the first arrival at an evening par
ty, coming in before the lamps are lit
when papa is finishing his last letter
mamma putting the final touches to
the ice cream, the son and heir trying
to borrow a stud, and the daughter
entreating some resolute person to
take in the remaining reef in Their new
costumes. Some of our offences seem
to anticipate matters and bring an
early punishment, so perhaps there
may be some hereafter for those who,
because they cannot sleep themselves
worry those who can, and thus devel-
op into that universal escape-grace.

STOLE MINNOM BAIT.

Yesterday Master Gussie Biesen-
bach, who has been supplying the an
glers Mt Lakeview lately with min
nows, found that his stock of these
small bait fish were decreasing RAPID
ly in the basin of the fountain in which
he kept them alive in the yard of his
fathers house. He decided to empty
the basin and see if there was any
cause for the disappearance of the
minnows, and after he did so he found
big fat moccasin snake, which alter
killing, he found to be quite well fed
with minnows. The snake had crept
into the basin but could not get out
on account of the smooth inside of the
basin.
