Monthly Meeting of Officers.
The majority of the officers of the bri-
gade assembled at headquarters last Mon
day evening in monthly meeting. Gen.
Harries at the outset desired to be in
formed of any objection. If such exists.

next August No objection was heard. but.
on the contrary. those present expressed
themselves as heartily In favor of the prop
ositioL..
1t was suggested by certain officers of the
department of rifle practice that in the
event the brigade does go into camp at
Sea Girt proper time be devoted to rifle
practice. 1t was explained that the sew
eral commands would be more fully repre-
sented at Sea Girt than they probably
would be II ordered out for rifle practice
at Ordway later in the season 1t was
also intirlated that company commanders
are not doing their full duty as regards
riile practice In this connection other
onicers urged that more attention be paid
and more money be expended in the direc-
ton OF improving the rife practice OF re-
cIuits and less be paid for Increasing the

There is very little doubt but that
many important moves are going on
in connection with the war that are
kept most secret, one of which may
be the invasion of Cuba. 1t seems
that regiment of Cubans. who en-
listed in Southern Florida, were sent
there last week, but this matter did
not leak out until Sunday, There
are rumors that general movement
may have been commenced Yesterday,
but if it has nothing is likely to be
known of it until the invading army
is safely landed.

SCHOOL MEETING, JUNE 18th.
County Supt. Scherer Offers Some
Valuable Suggestions.

County Superintendent Scherer has
issued circular to the school officers
of the county, TO be read at the an
nual. school meeting, which occurs
this year on Saturday, June 18th. He
suggests list Of supplies which each
school house should possess, to enable
the teacher to work to the best pos,
sible advantage. This list is as fol.
lows: Wash basin and towel. ther-
mometer, ample supply Of black
boards, a school library, Webster's
international dictionary and a few
smaller dictionaries, globe, an ele-
mentary reading chart, set of maps,
stout switch. The last named ar
ticle is not in the list, but as the
superintendent has evidently over
looked it, we hasten to add it,
In employing teachers, Mr.. Scherer
suggests that trustees consider their
applications in connection with past
experience and success, ability to gov
ern and control as we'll as teach, and
grade of certificate held and the
markings thereon. Attention is called
to the need of pure air and proper
ventilation, and the need of keeping
the outhouses in proper condition.

A PLEASANT SUSPRISE.

A very pleasant surprise party was
rendered Mrs. Emily Williams Tues
day evening by the members of the
Woman's Relief Corps, at the large
and pleasant home of Mr.. and Mrs. J..
A. Lewis on Second street.
Mrs. Williams is the president of
the Relief Corps and at the last meet
ing rendered her resignation to take
effect at once. She has been called
away to New York state on account
of the critical illness of her only Sis
ter, and may remain there perman-
emily. Mrs. Williams has been a
faithful and energetic member of the
corps for many years and by her
kindly manner has endeared herself
to all.
The visit of her friends last night
was complete surprise. Mrs. @. f.
Koehler, in very neat little speech,
presented Mrs. Williams with an ele-
CANT gold breast pin in behalf of those
present. The recipient was again
greatly surprised and responded with
much feeling to the evident regard of
her old time friends and associates.
Mrs. Williams does not expect to
leave for the east until next week
Tuesday.

That was very good story yester-
day about Dewey's threat to sink the
German cruiser if an attempt was
made to land provisions for the
Spaniards. But coming through the
New York Journal it is generally
looked upon as a fake. The only
probable thing about it is, that AID.
miral Dewey would doubtless do such
thing should the occasion arise, but
it is much doubted that there was
any occurrence to give rise to such a
story outside of the vivid imagination
of the Journal correspondent.

THE MINISTER'S ASSOCIATION.

The Minister'S Association ad
journed Tuesday until September.
M lettings have been held once in two
weeks with great profit to all. Dur
ing the Munhall meetings the pastors
became thoroughly acquainted and
the fellowship has been most delight
full. 1t was regretted exceedingly
when the circle was broken by the
departure of DR.. Line whose beauti-
full Christian spirit had endeared him
to all. 1t is rare to find men Of such
marked individuality so thoroughly
congenial.
One feature has been the discussion
of topics along the line of church
unity. The frankness of the express
sion upon matters about which the
denominations differ was only surpass-
ed by the Christian charity which
honored and respected the sincerity
of a brothers opinions.
When the laymen of the churches
come to see how much there is that
all Christians hold in common, when
they can discuss the things about
which they differ in this spirit, church
unity will have come and church
federation will be only a question of
time. ONE OF THEM.

RUN OVER.
Child Killed in DecOria Tuesday
Afternoon.
Two Year Old Child of Henry
Schulz Comes to Its Death
by Accident.

The report was brought to the city
Wednesday of the death by acct
dent of a little child, which occurred
in the town of Decoria yesterday after
noon. The child was thai of Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry Schulz, who reside several
miles from this city. The accident
happened in this way. Mr.. Schulz
was out in the yard, unhitching a
horse from a wagon, and the little
child was playing around the wheel.
The horse became FESTIVE and unruly,
and started forward, drawing the
wagon along.
The child, at the moment, was in
front Of one of the wheels, and when
the wagon was pulled ahead suddenly,
the child was thrown down and the
wheel passed over it. The child fell
in such way that the wheel passed
over its throat, killing it instantly,
probably breaking it's neck.
The accident nearly Frustrated the
parents, and caused much sorrow
throughout the neighborhood.

THE OTHER SIDE.
Some New Light on the Plumbers
Troubles.

Ed. l. P. Staede did not wait for
the officers to serve the papers on
him, on the complaint made and filed
with the city clerk Tuesday after
noon by Gen. Pope, but called at the
city hall this morning and entered a
plea of guilty to the charge of assault
in the third degree and paid fine of
s. and costs.
Mr.. Staede called on County Attor-
ney Hughes and desired warrant for
Gen. Pope's arrest, on the charge Of
having used language tending to pro-
woke an assault. Mr.. Staede claimed
that Gen. Pope had accused him Of
telling what was not true. Mr..
Hughes interviewed the only two
witnesses present, Fred Heinze and
Ole Olson, and these gentlemen
claimed that Gen. Pope did not use
words to that effect. Gen. Pope also
denied it. saying that his words were
courteous and not intended to pro-
woke an assault. The county attor-
ney did not issue warrant.
Gen. Pope calls the assault unpro-
voked and unjustifed, and says that
Mr.. Staede also used violent language
toward him. He states that the
water main Taper, which Mr.. Staede
asked him to produce, belongs to the
local plumbers association, and that
Mr.. Staede had no right to it's use, as
he is no longer member Of the asso-
citation, having been voted out last
Friday night. He states that the as
ISOLATION bought the the Taper and
that when a plumber ceases to be a
member Of the association he ceases
to have an interest in the Taper.

LEFT DESTITUTE.
A Husband Leaves His Wife and
Children.

A sad case of restitution came to
our notice Wednesday. A Woman with
three little children was searching
for place to sleep last night, depend
ing upon the hand of charity even for
something to eat. The story which
she related could not fail to gain her
sympathy. She said that five weeks
ago her husband drew his pay, spent
the night at saloon, and then skip
ped out, after leaving nickle and a
note on the door step for his wife.
Since then he has not been heard
from. The wife could not be allowed
to remain in the house without pay
ing rent and was obliged to vacate
yesterday. She had no place to go
and no money.
The county commissioners are fire.
quently called upon to support or aid
in supporting women with families
whose husbands have left them.
Sometimes these recreant husbands
return to remain during part of the
year. 1t is serious problem what to
do in such cases, and thousands of dol
lars are expended annually in caring
for those left destitute.

ANOTHER FIRE.
Chas. j. Macbeth's Slaughter House
Destroyed Last Night.

AoSt lNShts
Chas. J. Macbeth's slaughter house
was destroyed by fire Tuesday night at
eleven o'clock. The house Fas situat.
ed on the land owned byWagen Bros,
in the north part of the city near the
river, and was also used by this firm.
The building was formerly the old
Milwaukee House, and was moved
from Fourth street by Mr.. Macbeth
to replace the one burned last year,
and which belonged to Wagon Bros.
1t was two story structure and in.
cluded new refrigerator. The
building was totally destroyed, as it
could not be reached from the city
water mains. An alarm was sent in
from box II.
Mr.. Macbeth had some NUT ton and
tallow stored in the building, and
valued at S75. He places the total
loss at from 81, 700 to $500, and car
ried $1,000 of insurance.
How the fire started is a mystery,
but it is believed to have been set
afire by an incendiary. The building
was used yesterday by Wagon Bros,
man to kill some hogs, and every
thing was all fright when the man
left,

MEMORIAL DAY.
THE POINT OF VIEW.


To the Grand Army of the Repub-
lie, and to every patriot in the land
their valorous sacrifices preserved,
the strict observance of Memorial
Day, with it's tributes to the deeds
and memories Of our living and our
dead, is deemed high privilege and
sacred duty.
The observance of the 3Oth Of May
by the G. A. r. with it's teachings
and tributes to martial valor, and the
observance Of the Sunday preceding
the 30th Of May, by the Christian
churches of the land, with their
teachings and civilizations of Christian
sacrifices and patriotism, are indls-
solubly connected, and together con-
stitute our annual Memorial" Year
by year this occasion has been OBJ
served with new and added interests.
This year, Of ALL when we are daily
adding to the illumined roster Of
American patriots the names of our
sons, our brothers, and our loved ones,
there is manifested throughout our
land, an Increased zeal and fervor,
and more fully than ever before will
the occasion be observed. The G. A.
R. aided by hosts of sympathizing
friends will do their full duty on the
Both OF May. For the Sunday OBJ
servance that order is not responsible.
AS has been the practice for many
years the clergy Of our churches were
asked to make arrangements for
special Memorial service to be held,
separately or in union meeting, as
seemed best. They decided upon a
meeting at the Baptist church to
which The G. A. r. and Woman's Re-
lief Corps should be invited, and upon
independent evening service in their
several churches-all this we approve,
| but from our point of view, we must
question the wisdom of the counsel
which has led to preparation and ad
vertisingsof public meeting in the
MankatO Theatre, with brass band
and an eloquent clerical orator, tC
speak on the character and career OF
one, who. though truly grand, great
man, was never distinguished and
cannot be gloritied for his assistance
or sympathies shown us in our hour OF
trial.
In the days of our Civil war, when
the lives Of those we honor were
offered that the nation might live
the influence of Gladstone was thrown
into the scale against their swords
and bayonets and who can measure
the cost to u.s. in blood and treasure
expended to overcome that powerful
adverse influence.
We do not fail in appreciation Of
that great Englishman, but we can
not approve meeting to honor his
memory on our memorial day.
From The Point of View,
! ONE OF THE G.. A. r.
