The history of religious orders for wo-
men on this continent dates back to the
day over 200 years ago when Louis lie
Grand issued letters patent for the estap-
Hshment OF the first religious house FOR
women in the new world, SAYS the Chica-
90 'rimes-ticraId. The island OF Montreal
was then but picturesque wilderness
the site of a feeble. struggling outpost of
civilization. Day after day and night al
ter night the inhabitants of the little clus-
ter Of huts behind the palisades lived IN
terror of the sCalpiug knives of hostile
Mohawks. A rude tent of the forest lis
steeple.
fl was TO be found a community in this
desolate Snot that the royal seal of the
grand monarch was placed upon the pro-
iect of Margaret Bourgeois, a young wo-
man from Troyes. Brittany, Bishop La
val of Quebec, WELDON ID the young wo-
man and her brave band of assistants.
Immediately they began their self-ap-
pointed task of teaching both the children
of the pioneers and their dusky little COM
panions
With equal care and charity they at
tended the sick soldiers languishing in
the hospital tent within the stockade. For
nearly half a century Margaret Bourgeoi 5
lived seeing in that time her community
rolls increased by tine names of scores on
recruits, whose zeal, like the sphere ~
their usefulness in the growing land,
seemed hIundleSs.

house all the remaining assets OF the de-
funct institution were sold at auction by
Receiver T. G. Stenke. They consisted Of
a great many almost valueess notes, which
were sold in punches of ten or more for from
so cents to So a lot. Receiver Steinke has
made every possible effort to secure their
collection. Owing to their age it was i'm
possible to obtain any considerable sum for
them There was one valuable piece of
property secured at bargain by the pur
chaser. This was a business block on the
main street Of the town, comprising two lots
and a three-story brick building, known as
the Yetzer, and costing in the neighborhood
Of $4,000 at the time of its erection. 1t
was sold to j. II. Johnson of the firm of
johnson & Thompson, who now occupy it, for
$5,210. A report will be made to the court.
The bank failed in December, 1898, the
deposits amounting at that time to nearly
$500,000 Many lost their entire accumula-
tions of years and were left destitute. Others
were heavy losers, but were able to stand 1t
better than some of the smaller ones. There
were criminal trials in connection with the
failure. The president, ]. C. Yetzer is now
serving time at Fort Madison. Albert Dick

Superintendent Barrett Given An
other Chance to Decide Site Case.
The Board Of Education at its adjourned
meeting last night decided to give State
Superintendent Barrett another chance to
render his decision In the matter of a re-
hearing in the Smith appeal case before
taking action on the selection of another
site for the new High school building. The
suggestion that the attorneys OF the board
write to the state superintendent asking him
to give an early decision in the matter
brought forth some caustic remarks on the
part Of Member Moore, who said he was get
ting tired OF attorneys writing letters. The
matter was finally disposed of by Member
Cooper being selected to write to the state
superintendent asking him to hand down his
decision one way or the other in eight or
ten days.

for the different school grounds was re-
ferred to the committee on buildings and
grounds.
Contractor Wind notified the board that
he would be ready to turn over the new

Member Henry as chairman Of the finance
committee.
Member Hess asked that the salary of T.
A. Brewick, supervisor Of grounds and build
iDgs, be increased from $50 to $65 per month,
as the work had greatly Increased OF late.
On being put to the vote Hess motion
carried by a strict party vote. the three
democratic members. Stewart, Cooper and
Moore, voting against the increase. Stewart
objected to the salary being raised on the
grounds that in his opinion the office was
more an ornamental than an useful one and
that the ianitors were able to get along
satisfactorily without supervisor.
The board then adjourned to meet Friday
night. December 8. unless the state superin-
tendent was heard from in the meantime, in
which event the president will call a special

Several Persons Get Into Trouble for
Handling Spurious Butter.
State Dairy Commissioner Norton dropped
into town Thursday night and as a conse-
quence there we're several arrests yesterday
for violations of the state dairy laws in re-
spect to oleomargarine. w. A. Groneweg,
Commissioner Norton's deputy at this point,
has been watching for some time for evil
dence with which to convict the sellers and
when he considered he had sufficient to war
rant the arrests notified his superior officer.
Informations were filed against &c. o. D."
Brown, the Broadway grocer, and Louie G.
Metzger, the Broadway restaurateurs.
Seizures of oleomargarine colored to initiate
butter were made at both places. 1t is
charged that Louie & Metzger have no per-
NIT to sell or use the stuff. When the COM
missioner and his deputy put in an appear
ance at the restaurant an employe started
out of the back door with a tub containing
thirty-fve pounds of the butterine Deputy
Groneweg gave chase and overhauled the
fleeing empoye and corralled the spurious
article OF butter. Louie & Metzger put up a
cash appearance bond Of $50. The UNDER
standing is that this will be forfeited and
will settle the case.
Brown the grocer has a license to sell
oleomargarine and he will have hearing
next Tuesday on the charge of selling and
keeping for sale oleomargarine colored to
initiate butter, which is contrary to the law.
Following these seizures Commissioner
Norton and his deputy went to a camp on
the Fort Dodge G. Omaha railway, just north
Of the Northwestern round house, where
Robert Green, the camp boss, and R. e.
Harris, the cook, were placed under arrest
for having oleomargarine in their posses
sion. They gave bonds in the sum of $3.50
each and will have their hearing before
Justice Ferrier next Tuesday morning
