Dreyfus Confident That He Will Soon Be
1855 Released. r....r...
RENNEs, Sept. 11.--Dreyfus has borne
the terrible shock with marvellous forti-
tude, one might almost say with un-
natural calm. Saturday he seemed
stupeied when Maitre Labor commun-
icated to him the verdict, but he has
since rallied. Nine. Dreyfus and
Matthew Dreyfus, his brother, visited
him during the course of the afternoon,
his brother subsequently leaving for
Paris. The application to the court of
revision was taken to him at noon by
Maitre Labori's assistant, and he
signed it.
Dreyfus is convinced that the 10 years
imprisonment to which he is sentenced
will be wiped out by the five years of
solitary seclusion he has undergone on
Devils island, and he expects to be re-
leased by Oct. 10, which will be five
years from the date of his former con-
demnation.

STRONG TESTIMONY.
This Is Mankato Testimony and will
Stand Investigation.

If you doubt the following and wish
to investigate, you haven't to go to
some other state in the union to prove
it. It's not long story published in
Mankato newspapers about a resident
in Kalamazoo, Mich, or Tampa, Fla
It's about resident of Mankato and
given in her own words. No stronger
proof can be had.

Salary for Treasurer.

A ballot on treasurer resulted as fol-
lows: Capt. Keysor four votes, DR..
Webster one, Mr.. Fletcher one, j. G.,
Cotton one. Capt. Keysor was declared
elected, but he said that he would posi-
lively decline the election. He had
served for two years and had been I'M
der $4,000 bonds, and had handled $42,
900 a year, but there was not cent in
it for the treasurer. He considered his
services worth something. The dis
trict has considerable money in the
banks, but receives no interest.
Mr.. Fletcher raised the point that un-
der the state law the treasurer was not
to be elected until the next meeting.
Capt Keysor said that he had closed
his books for the year and did not de.
sire to hold over.
President Days said that an election
was not necessary at this meeting, but
that it would be better to defer the
election until a special meeting.
On motion of DIR. Webster the BOARD
proceeded to ballot again on treasurer,
Before the votes had been counted, DR..
Webster sprung a motion to fix the
treasurers salary This was ruled out
of order, but he Immediately moved
that the ballot be suspended for the
purpose of fixing the salary, and this
was carried. He then moved that the
treasurer's salary be placed at S25 a
year.
Mr.. Fletcher asked what authority
there was for this. st5 III u.6
DR.. Webster said that the question
was, Is there any authority againstit?''
President Davis said that the board
obtained authority under the general
school law.
Mr. Fletcher retorted that if the
general school law was followed, the
election of the treasurer would go over
until the next meeting, and that would
be the proper time to fix the salary.
The motion was carried, five to two,
Messrs Fletcher and Wilson voting no.
The ballot on treasurer was then pro-
ceeded with, and Capt. Keysor received
four votes, and DR.. Webster and Mr.
Fletcher each one. Capt. Keysor was
declared for the second time elected.
He said that he would accept, with the
small salary of S25. 1t was worth this
much to do the writing of the Office.
On. Capt. Keysors motion, the Sec
retary's salary was placed at 5000 a
year. ~ a 81 ~ ,s ~
Mr.. Wilson moved that the treas
urer's bond be fixed at $40, 1000, and this
was carried.
Secretary Brewster called attention
to the fact that the tax levy must be
made at the October meeting.

LONDON, Sept. n.-With the excep-
