Supervisors VIII Stick.

A. B. Dunnng of Scranton, Pa, spoke on
"The Supervisory System" He said 81
do not come here to belittle the supervisors.
If there is anyone, however, who does need
education in the matter of good roads it is
the supervisor. Some say abolish him.
You can't do it. If you try 1t you will get
the same officer back again by another
name. The greatest evil is in the state
trying to get too much work done for a
small amount of money. Would contrac-
tor go out among the people picking up old
and young and let them do just as they
pleased? Let us try and change the sys-
TEN and do business as it should be done"

Public School.

The public school building (Chero-
kee) is downright disgrace to so
good a town as Vinita. Next season
the town authorities must erect
creditable building and maintain
good school. To conduct the affairs
OF the town without a tax is COM
mendable, particularly in view of the
amount which has been collected in
years past and for which nothing was
given in return, but the paople will
cheerfully submit to taxation for
school purposes. But for the fact
that the schools had opened when our
city came into existence, we should
have had public schools now.

BLUE EARTH CITY, Mimi, April
19-During the absence of Postmaster
Boswell from his office a short time
this evening some one, for joke, re-
placed the stars and stripes, which
waved above his door, with the Spanish
commercial flag.
A crowd saw it. and as the colors
waved complacently in the breeze, the
spectators became indignant and made
rush for the banner. In a few mo-
ments staff flag and all were trailing
in the mud. The banner was torn to
small pieces, and Americas Old Glory
put back in its place.
The bulletin which reached here this
forenoon announcing that the indepen-
dence of Cuba would be recognized;
that Mckinley would issue an ultima
tum calling upon Spain to withdraw
her troops from Cuba within a few
hours, and that the president would
call for 10000 soldiers produced pro-
found enthusiasm in a few minutes.
Crowds Of men were in the streets
and around the bulletin, flags made
their appearance from many STATS and
numerous business houses were dec
Grated in the most lavish manner

ton gave general satisfaction, and not

tered in 'enlisting a full company Of
