A motion to elect a teacher for the
East Mankato school was lost, owing to
the small attendance at the school,
which dwindled to three at one time
during the winter.
On Mr.. Wilson's motion, the board
proceeded to elect a teacher of music
and drawing. Miss Deem, the present
teacher, received three votes and Miss
Sadie F. Lathy, of Upper Alton, ILL.,,
five votes. Miss Lathy was declared
elected and her salary was fixed at $40
a month.
Balloting was then resumed on the
second division of the eighth grade of
the high school Miss Van Blarcum re-
ceived four votes and Miss O'Donnell
three. On the next ballot, Miss Van
Blarcum received five votes and Miss
O'Donnell three. The salary remains
at $50.

President Stickney
and guests
June 8, 1899.

The ride around the city was greatly
enjoyed by all. The number of car
riages was few short of accommocat-
ing all of the guests, and some of the
younger men jumped on drays and rode
around. A definite route had been laid
out but it was not followed by all of the
drivers, but it is safe to say that the
visitors got good idea of the city.
Sibley park was greatly admired by all,
and the number of shade trees on our
streets caused favorable comment.
The train that brought the pa rty
consisted of nine Great Western pas
senger cars 1t was raining hard when
the train left ST. Paul. and tn is ac-
counts for the number of excursionists
being less than had been anticip ated.
The train returned to the cities with
out making stops.

WOhIEN'S
SECRETS.

There is one man in the United States
who has perhaps heard more wofncn'S
secrets than any other man or woman IN
the country. These secrets are not Sc
crets of guilt or shame, but the secrets OF
suffering, and they have been confded
to DR.. K. V. Pierce i'll the hope and ex-
pectation of advice and help. That few
of these wonel have been disappointed
in their expectations is proved by the
fact that nr1ety-eight per cent. of all
women treated by DR.. Pierce have been
absolutely and altogether cured. Such
record would be remarkable if the cases
treated were numbered by hundreds
only. But when that record applies to
the treatment Of more than half-a-1nil-
lion women in practice of over thirty
years, it is phenomenal, and entities DR..
Pierce to the gratitude accorded him by
women, and the honor paid him by the
profession as the first OF specialists i'll
the treatment Of womcn's diseases.
Every sick woman may consult DIR.
Pierce by letter, absolutely without
charge. Every wonan's letter which
contains her secret remains her secret.
1t is read in private, answered in private,
and its contents guarded as sacred con-
fidence That no third party should enter
into this secret, all replies are mailed,
sealed in perfectly plain envelopes, with
out any printing or advertising whatever,
upon them. Write without fear as with

When ever it has appeared to be so it
is because the people were cxaspri'atad

thought they could run rough shod over
the people. In recent years the rail
roads4have begun to require that all Off
