SCHOOL BOARD ORGANIZED.
Estimated Expense $4,000 Year
for $50 Pupils.

The school board met last night and
organized by the reelection of e. N.
Ratcliff as president, w. l.. Chapman
secretary, Davis Hill treasurer. The
balance of the board consists OF A. l..
Churchill, w. c. Patton and Oliver
Bagby. 1t is estimated that there
will be $50 children to enter the pub
lie schools when they are provided
and that it will require $1,000 year
to pay the bills, exclusive of cost of
buildings-one-half of one per cent
on 81 900, 600 assessment. The school
board will meet with the city council
tonight to consider the subject.
DR.. A. X. Wray, representing the
Congregational Home Missionary So
ciety, the owners of Worcester acade-
my, came in this morning and the
school board will meet him at four
o'clock. The society wishes to sell the
property and thefe is general feel
ing that the town could not do better
than buy it. 1t is probable such
terms Of payment could be arranged
as would not be burdensome and GER
tainly more desirable location does
not exist in the city.

discussed the divinity of Christ. and using

The second OF the series Of Traps for
Men discourses was given yesterday at
the rooms OF the Young Mems Christian
Association to a very large audience of
men.
After song service and preliminary to
the discourse Secretary Kincaide of the
Association in making his announcements
said that the topic for next Sunday would
be THE Secret Hidden Trap" by Raw
Seth Ward. and that on next Thursday
evening there would be given musicale
and literary entertainment in the hall ac-
cording to a programme arranged by the
Baptist Young Peoples Union.
Mr.. W. B. Jones was then announced
and spoke on THE Dollar Trap" He said
that 1.-The love of money is,the root of all
evil, and While 1t is sometimes a good
thing to have money, II Is the wrong man
ner Of using 1t that makes it an evil
we do not get all the money that we
want. 1t would perhaps ruin us IL We did,
and Providence generally puts all the
money in our hands that we can spend in
the Dollar Traps is debt, which is one OF
the worst traps young man can get into
Henry Ward Beecher said: Avoid debt
as you would the DEVIL
Young men want to make money too
fast, Make It slowly and surely and after
having worked hard for the first dollar
the second will come easier and generally
honestly.
"All young men should avoid extrava-
gance."
Mr. Jones' talk then turned to the III
effects of billiards. saloons and gambling
houses with pointed advice as to how to
avoid them.

second mission was TO unfold the philos-

sublime purpose till touched by the magic
truth of the personal Christ He alone

grander sentiments which heighten and

very existence. and links our being, work

third mission was that He might become

that science Is making rapid strides that
sinuous paths OF knowledge are opening

thing higher than science. something more
cheering than philosophy and something

Rev. Father Gleason, Misses Ella
and Lizzie Schneider, Nellie Mcclure
and Mr.. and Mrs. John Duffy, left for
Carroll Thursday evening to hear Rev
Father Cleary, of Minneapolis, de-
liver one of his popular and instruc-
tive lectures.
The following officers were elected
for the Presbyterian Sunday School
Wednesday night: Superintendent,
E. b. Cousins; assistant superinten-
dent, w. III. Cowles; secretary, Alta
Grow: treasurer, Myrtle Brown; libra
rian, Irma Tharnish; organist, Lucy
Davis. The teachers were not elected.
VIM. Beadle, left here in Janu-
AIRY and went to Fort Crook, Omaha,
Nebr., where he joined the 22d infan-
try, which sailed at once for Manila
He and his regiment were on the fir
ing line in the engagements of Tues
day and Wednesday. He will doubt
less have an opportunity to distinguish
himself.
A. +. Beason, late deputy auditor,
will assist County Treasurer H. ID.
Phelps in the Office during the next
month, when the greater part of the
first half of the taNas of the county
will be paid. Taxes are already being
paid quite rapidly and by April 1st it
is safe to say they will have collected
over $45, 100000.
There is to be the largest excursion
for the south March q, that has ever
run. The fare for the round trip from
Council Bluffs to Port Arthur is only
$1,000. The governors of several of
the western states will be present to
participate in the exercises to be given
at the opening of the canal leading
from the harbor at Port Arthur to the
gulf, a distance of eight miles 1t is
no boom business to say that Audu-
bon will be represented at this open
ing by several of our citizens.
There will be meeting OF the
board of directors of the Audubon
| County Agricultural Society, Satur-
day, in Secretary Woodward's office.
All the members and directors of the
association have been notified and
doubtless will be present to assist in
furthering the plans for holding the
most successful fair ever held in the
county. The association never had
better or more capable class of officers
and if the people assist them and CO.
operate with them there is no question
| but the exhibit and interest will far
surpass all previous years. Every
business man and every farmer should
lend their assistance, as the officers
within themselves are feeble in their
efforts unless unwearially assisted by
the people. 1t is credit to our
people and our county to hold fair
that will speak for the growth devel-
opment and advancement of all the
countY's interests.
