PATRIOTIC CITIZENS.
Washington's Birthday tCele-
brated With Becoming Cere.
mony in This City Z.

Last Tuesday was the anniversary
of the birth of Washington, and i!
was observed in this city as becomes
the occasion. The banks were Closed,
it being legal holiday, and the ma
tional colors were displayed from the
several flag staffs. The scholars of the
public schools INDUCED in sleigh rides
several loads of merry young people
being in evidence on our street.
In the afternoon appropriate exer-
cises were held in the assembly hall of
the school building. REGULATIONS by
the scholars in costume suited to the
selection was a novel and interesting
feature. The program included music
and readings, and it was heartily
enjoyed by all who was present.
The Masonic lodge gave an enter
tainment in the evening which was
largely attended. An address was de-
livered by Judge Barto, and it was
worthy of the occasion. It was on the
character of Washington, and reflect
ed great credit upon it's author. There
was plenty of music, both vocal and
instrumental, a light lunch was served,
and dancing was INDUCED in. - 1t was
one of those delightful social occa-
sions which the Masons are famous
for providing.

Had a Good Time.

F. In response to an invitation from the
Sank centre lodge, q number of the
Glenwood Knights of Pythias went
over to Sank Centre Monday and right
royalty We're they entertained there.
Sank Centre has one of the finest lodges
in the state and gave the visiting
brethren some very pretty exhibitions
of team work in comforting degrees.
And they are as genial and hospitable
a company of meu as one can find any
where. From the moment the Glen
wood Knights arrived until their de-
parture not one was allowed to pay for
anything and to pthe climax Fidelity
Lodge No. l20 had prepared royal
banquet, and provided some excellent
music by way of further entertainment.
After the banquet all adjourned to the
lodge room and enjoyed the flow of wit
and reason Grand Chancellor r. E..
Stratton and Grand K. r. S. F. E.
Wheaton giving eloquent talks while
numerous orators of lesser fame con-
tributed each their share to the occa-
sicns. One of the touching incidents
of the evening was the presentation by
Fidelity Lodge No. 120 of handsome
solid gold chain and K. P. charm to
Howard I.hacker. Altogether the occa-
sion was one which the Glenwood K.
Ps present will long remember with
pleasure. Herald.
In speaking of the K. P. gathering at
Sank Centre last Monday night a
brother says: "Robert E. Wheaton,
Grand Supreme Chancellor Commander
and publisher of the Pythian Guide,
was in attendance at the fine banquet
given at Sank Centre Monday evening
and his address for the good of the
order was highly appreciated by all
presnt. Robert Stratton, our Grand
K. r. S., gave us a fine speech in be-
half of all *. P, and their duties to
each other and while our Grand
officers were speaking we were treated
to fine cigars. After the speaking we
were highly entertained by the Van De
Walker brothers on the banjos. The
banquet was one of the finest we ever
attended at Sank Centre and Me lrose
Lodge No. lao is always glad to be
with their brothers of that city. -

The Greatest Discovery Yet.

w. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, ILL.,,
"Chief," says: eve won't keep house
without DR.. Kings New Discovery for
Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Ex-
perimented with many others, but
never got the true remedy until we used
DR.. Kings New Discovery. No other
remedy can take it's place in our home,
as in it we have a certain. and sure
cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, etc." 1t is idle to experiment
with other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are not
as good, because this remedy has re-
cord ofcures and besides is guaranteed.
It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles

A Puzzle for the High School Scholars.
One of the latest mathematical puZ-
zles we have seen, and the best that
has ever been sent to the Scientific
American for solution, is the follow
ing:
A is farmer who sells horse to B
for $50. The next day he buys the
horse back from E for $50, making a
profit of course, in the two deals, Of $40.
A then sells the horse to Cfor 800,
being an advance of course upon what
he had just paid for the horse, of $40.
How much; however, was AS total
profit in the three transactions? Does
he make 500, or $50? If you say, as
you probably will, that he made $50,
you may have some trouble in proving
it to the satisfaction of yourself or any
one else. you say he only made $40,
you may have some difficulty account
ing for the $40 that he evidently made
in the first two deals, when considered
by themselves, and for the $40 that he
evidently made in the last two deals,
when considered by themselves.
What high school scholar will be the
first togive us his or her solution of
this puzzle? -.'1' .-.'*.'.'.

A Magazine Which Builds Houses.

The readers of The Ladies' Home
Journal are about as responsive a
clientele as any magazine possesses.
About six months ago the Philadelphia
magazine started to publish a series of
practical architectural plans showing
how artistic houses could be built at
moderate cost. 1t employed a spec
ial architect, and his work was certain
ly artistic. Besides the plans it agreed
to furnish complete specifications of
each house at a minimum cost. Thou
sands of people liked the plans given
and the series has been a great success
for themagazine. This spring the build
ing of over five hundred houses, vary
ing in cost from $500 to $1,000 each,
will be started In different parts of the
country by Journal readers, in addi-
ton to over one hundred other h Ouses
which have already been built.

Pay Personal Tax.

County Treasurer Dueber fears that
there is some misunderstanding as to
the time limit for the payment of per-
sonal property taxes. The last date
for the payment of personal property
taxes, before the penalty of ten per
cent attaches, is February %, and he
wishes property owners to understand
this and not wait until the very last
moment before coming in. The amount
being received in payments is very
much below the usual, and this is diff
cult to understand when it is consider
ed that real estate taxes have not been
paid SO we'll for years as the present
season.

SCHOOL NOTES.
Editor-in-chief. ...... JEAN EMERSON
Assistant Editor. ALICE cArrERs s
BERTHA RICH
..... LESLIE GRAY
The sixth grade has broken the
record in attendance and punctu-
ality. During the month of Janu-
airy not case of hardness or a
half days absence occurred. This
is is the bestrecord made by any
grade of the school for five years
at least. Teachers and pupils have
the satisfaction of knowing that
no grade ever did better. They
not only retain the banner which
they secured the month before,
but also receive framed life size
portrait of President Garfield,Which
the room will keep as a special
prize for perfect attendance and
punctuality.
The following story shows that
even third grade boy can draw
some Lessons from the life of "the
father of this country" and apply
them directly to his own life. The
composition is entirely original:
George Washington was born in
Virginia and was an honest boy
and you ought to know that he
was the very first president there
ever was, because he was an hon.
est boy and did whatever his moth
er told him to do. He went right
away and did not say, ain a mo-
ment" like your or do. We say
in a minute, then run away and not
do it at all, but Washington was
not a boy like me. Iran out of the
line at recess when my teachers
went in the room, | came back
again too, but | tell you right here
that Washington never did that.
He fought three big battles and
beat them, and about a year after
he died. Then they said he never
told lie. The fist present was a
Ratchet, and he went and cut
down tree, his father found out
and said who did this? did it
said George

Miss White and Miss kittie Nor
ris visited Miss Bankers room last,

Mrs. Fish, Mrs. Stanton and Miss
Reid visited the fourth grade on
Monday. =.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Cooper visited
the mixed grade on Tuesday.
The sixth and seventh grades
had a Washington and Lincoln
program before going to the
hall.
Professor Horace Goodhue, dean
OF the faculty of Carlton College;
made the high school very pleas
ant visit on Monday. He addressed
the school on Monday evening,
speaking of the value of college
education. 1t was a very practical
talk, one that the students will
long remember.

Arrested and discharged.

This city was even more astonished
by the announcement of the arrest
OF William Beidleman and Joseph
Houska for the robbery of Joseph
Bechman, than by the event itself.
Bechman procured the warrant in
St: Cloud, and on Saturday officer
Murphy made the arrest and took
them before Justice Martin of St.
Cloud. The examination was put
over until Monday, aud Frank Con-
nelly and George Knapp were sub
ponaed as witnesses and attended the
examination. Bechman did not ap-
pear, and County attorney Sullivan
conducted the examination without
him. There was not a single particle
OF evidence tending to connect either
of them with the crime, and it is
mystery how suspicion ever attached
to them. Both are we'll known young
men OF this city, and neither of them
has a record that would justify the
belief that they were the guilty parties.
1t is strange indeed that a man would
seek to disgrace a fellow being by
causing his arrest upon a SUSPECT on
which is not justified by a particle of
evidence. 1t is not known why Bech-
man failed to appear at tae examin a.
ton. OF course they were both dis
charged on motion of the prosecu ting
attorney. Whoever committed the
crime is still at large, and the only
clue to the identity of the miscreant is
a hat which was picked up the next
morning at the place where the as
sault was committed-and it is hat
such As scores and scores of men are
wearing every day.
