Dewolf Assignment stu On.

County superintendent A. G.. Myers
has removed to his new office in the
Greek building just over the post office.
1t is a fine large room, suitable for the
examination of teachers. The hoard
of supervisors in order to give Colonel
Economy Wright an Office in the court
house rented this room for Supt. Myers,
Although the rent does not begin until
January first, Mr.. Greek has rendered
the use of the room to Mr.. Myers during
December free of rent. And hereby
hangs tale, Colonel Economy Wright
was not satisfied with having a raise in
salary and free office rent, but when he
found the room engaged for Supt.
Myers was such good one he de-
termined that he would have it for him-
self. Several wordy interviews took
place between Colonel Economy and
the County Superintendent in which
the economical Colonel informed Mr..
Myers that he should not have the
room over the postof1ice. Myers was
however too sharp for the Colonel and
is now safely installed in his new office.
1t is hardly probable that the board will
compel him to move back to the court
house, though Colonel Economy would
like to have them do so.

AGAIN IN SESSION
Last Half Of the Fifty Fifth
Congress Is Called to
Order.
Promptly at Twelve the Gavel
Falls in the House and
in the Senate.
Animated Scenes In and About the
Capitol The Galleries Are
Crowded.
President Notified That Congress Is Ready
for Business His Message Is Then
Communicated.
Its Reading Is Listened to with Knpt
Attention by Members In Both
House and Senate.

Washington, Dec. 5.-Congress reas-
sembled Monday under circumstances
of unusual public interest. The same
congress six months ago declared war
against Spain and now, with the war
fought and won, it came together again
for the first legislative consideration
of the questions developed by the event
full months just passed. The spirit of
the occasion was not, however, one of
immediate expectancy, for the few
months left to the existence of the
Fifty-dfth congress gave promise of
little more than beginning on the
momentous policies and problems
growing out of the war.
AS usual all Washington turned its
attention to the capitol for that gala
event which marks the opening day of
session. The weather imposed no
barriers, for the hurricane of Sunday
had given way to clearing skies and
balmy air. Long before the noon hour,
when the senate and house began their
work, the corridors were filled with
surging crowds, centering in the ro-
tunda and statuary hall, and pushing
toward the private galleries. No evi-
dences remained of the explosion and
fire which recently ravaged the build
ing.
