Mary was a Minera1ogi.t.

A teacher in one Of the local schools was
instructing a class of small children in min
eralogy the other day, endeavoring to make
clear to their young minds what mineral
really is. Standing before them, she began
in her clear voice: "A mineral is an inor.
ganic, homogeneous s. substance Of definite,
sition found in nature. Do you understand
me? Come now, you have all seen minerals.
And your mothers and fathers have told
you the names Of them, haven't they? Of
course, they have. Now, can any one of
you tell me the names of three minerals? '
There was no response, and she continued:
minerals on exhibition?" One little girl
raised her hand. II thought so. Mary will
rame three minerals" Mary arose, and,
putting her hands behind her, lisped:

pronounced it incurable. Science has proven

WON'T BE MODIFIED.
The Philippine Terms Will Remain
Unchanged-Reply to Claims of
Spain Is Made.

Paris, Nov. 10.-Wednesday's session
of the peace commission began at 2: Is
p. m. and ended at three p. m. When
the meeting opened the Americans pre-
scented to their Spanish colleagues the
answer of the United States to the
claims submitted on Friday last in be-
half of Spain. The document in which
the American answer was set forth con-
sisted Of nearly SO sheets of typewriter
matter. It was refutation of the Span
ish allegation that because the words
possession" Ownership" or ''cession"
do not occur in the protocol clause
touching upon the Philippine islands,
the peace commissions have no right to
discuss them here, and that even if they
did so it must be in the light of the al
legged fact Of an exterior agreement that
SPANS sovereignty should not be i'm
paired.
The Americans also answered Spain's
claim for the restitution to her of pub
licmoney and customs collections taken
by United States officials since sths
capitulation of Manila and made reply
to Spain's claim for an indemnity on
account Of the alleged Imprisonment
by United States authorities of Spanish
troops, of Manila and for their subse-
quent restraint from being of service
to Spain in the suppression of the in
surrection and the preservation Of
property. #
The American commissioners held
that there was justification, under the
terms Of the protocol, for the discussion
OF the future Of the Philippine islands

Odd Fellows Company Wins.

The supreme court has handed
down a decision in the case of John
L. Fulton, assignee of the Wisconsin
Odd Fellows Insurance company,
against E. E. Stevens. It is a COM
plete victory for the company, since
it establishes the liability of every
policy holder in the company for
every assessment that has been made
against him by the company on his
policy. The case covers assessments
on policies which the holders had al
lowed to lapse in the vain hope of
avoiding payment, but there seems
to be no possible escape for them.
Stevens, an ex-mayOr of Oshkosh, de-
Tended in the case brought against
him and there was general under
standing that it should be fought
through the courts as a test case, a
large number of policy holders agree
ing to abide by the decision. Under
this agreement all the defendants
will have to pay up their assessment
dues to the company. There were
several hundred of the cases brought
by the assignee, but about half of the
defendants paid after being sued

HY1ENEAL.

At 1880 o'clock last Wednesday
evening in st. Mark Lutheran church,
occurred the wedding Of DR.. Walter
Zimmerman, Of Milwaukee, and Miss
Anna Schultz, an event that had been
anticipated with much interest by the
higher German circles of our city.
The ceremony was conducted by the
pastor, Rev. j. II. BrOckmann, in the
presence Of a large congregation OF
relatives and friends. The church, with
its pretty adOrnment of flowers and
plants and it's brilliant illumination,
presented festal appearance, which
was greatly enhanced by the attract
iveness of the bridal party. A recep-
ton, following the church services,
was held at the home Of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. William Schultz,
600 Sixth street, during which the
happy couple were shOwered with
hearty congratulations A sumptuous
repast was served and festivities held
full sway for several hours, during
which the military band of the North
western university paid its respects
with a delightful serenade.
The bride is very estimable and
pleasing young lady who possesses a
host of warm friends in this her
native place. The groom is a re-
Gently graduated physician and sur
geon with excellent prospects for
success in his chosen profession.
He formerly was a student at the
Northwestern university. They de-
parted Monday for their future
home in Milwaukee, carrying with
them the sincere wishes of all for an
suspicious journey through life.
The nuptials of Gustave Kaddatz,
of the town of Emmett, and Miss Re-
nate Meyer, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. FL. Meyer, of Al North Fifth street,
took place last Thursday afternoon
at o'clock, in ST. Johns Lutheran
church, Rev. G. Strasen officiating,
After the ceremony a reception was
held at the brides home. The con-
tracing parties are well known and
enjoy the highest esteem of all their
acquaintances. They will reside on
farm in Emmett.

Except the fact that we are S24, 600 within the

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
On account OF the over-crowded condition of
our public schools, the school board has been
compelled to provide more accommodations for
the constantly increasing attendance, and it
has decided to rebuild Union School No. at an
estimated cost of ten thousand dollars $50 000).
About four thousand dollars ($40O0) of this
money has already been levied, and a further
amount of 5000 must be raised the coming year
This fact must be borne in mind when making
other appropriations.
CITY wATERwoRKs.
This highly important branch of the service,
by the council iudicially availing itself of chap
ter 1885, of the laws of 1897, has been placed un-
der control of a Board of Water Commissioners.
Our city has been very fortunate in it's selec-
ton of the members of said board, under whose
efficient management our system has been very
creditably conducted The plant is, and has
been for some time past, self-sustaining, no
taxes having been levied the past year for its
of revenue.
PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS.
The improvements this city mas thus far
made reflect credit upon the people who urged
| them and upon the officials under whom they
| were made. They, unlike those of many other
cities, were instituted at the proper place, viz.
| underground. This leaves us the surface with
! which to contend, which now brings US to the
momentous question of the hour, viz: street
! improvements. Better streets seems to be the
| reigning idea. 1t would not seem a serious
| problem to make creditable beginning in the
! matter of paved or macadamized streets, mas
! much as number OF our property owners along
| Main street have expressed themselves willing
| to stand their assessments for this much-felt
| want. A trunk line of paved and macadamized
| streets from depot to depot via Main street
would be very creditable accomplishment fo1
! this a succeeding council. AS this would be
a benefit to the city at large, I think it no more
! than just that the city bear a small percentage
of the cost with the abutting property owners
Nothing is more apparent than the pride ouI
citizens of all classes are at present taking in
! the improvement and betterment of their
| dwellings, and it is incumbent upon the city to
! keep apace with them in the matter of i'm
! prOvementS.

Mayor Henry Mulberger and the
new common council were ushered into
office last night amid a perfect bower
of verdant beauty and significant
display of ''Old Glory" The council
chamber looked coy and bright with
it's decorations of potted plants, palms,
flowers, flags and bunting-all the
handiwork of Janitor Krueger and
Chief Block. Each desk was adorned
with plants and the mayor and alder
men all wore boutonneiros. Not even
the reporters table was forgotten.
Shortly after o'clock the new ad-
ministration filed into the chamber,
ex-Mayor Rack escorting his success
sor. The oaths of Office were then
administered by City Clerk Bieber,
and the roll call which followed showed
all members present.
The council proceeded to the cleo
tion of q president pro tempore, Aid.
Wertheimer being chosen by an unan-
imOus vote.
Mayor Mulberger read his inaugural
message, as follows:
GENTLEMEN OF THE COMMON COUNCIL: Fol
lowing precedent long since established by
our city's chief executives, I submit my inaug-
ural communication to you, embodying in it
such suggestions and recommendations as to
me seem proper at this time.
Each one Of US is cOgnizant of the duties and
responsibilities placed upon US by being chosen
for our respective offices, and it is, therefore,
needless to recount them, All [ desire to say
in respect to this is that our path of duty lies
in actions, not words, and in order to accom-
plish this successfully it is necessary for US to
work in harmony.
Our aim should be to transact all public mat
tiers in a business-like way, not for the benefit
of any clique, faction, or particular interest,
but for the general welfare of the whole city.
