Supt. Race states that during the
past week he has secured from six
to eight Normal school teachers for
the country districts, the teachers
nearly all coming from Wisconsin
and Illinois, and this despite the
fact that the school leaders of those
States are particularly anxious to
keep the teachers at home. Mr..
Race thinks that he will be able to
fill the complete list of 81 schools
for Normal teachers before another
two weeks.
The October school apportionment,
which is to be announced next
week. will be the largest in the
history of the State, and will be
particularly pleasing to the school
trustees in the different districts of
Redwood county. Four districts
failed to file the necessary report to
secure the apportionment and Supt.
Race last week secured the neces-
sary figures and sent them to the
department of public instruction,
and has since been notified that the
districts would receive the appor-
tionment.

took immediate precaution not to
allow the disease to spread. and at
the present time the patient is i'm
proving and the other children have
not developed the disease.
In connection with the Cooper
Brooks marriage in this city on
Tuesday of last week the St. Paul

riage in a marvellous way. The
bride was 20 years Of age, the mar
riage took place on the 10Th day of
the ninth month of the year 1899;
the ceremony lasted exactly nine
minutes: there were nine invited
guests outside the large Brooks
family; at the breakfast table there
were Is people, nine on one side of
the table and nine on the other; the
guests rose from the breakfast table
at nine minutes past ten, and nine
people were in the party that drove
to the depot. There was no at
tempt on the part Of anybody to in
troduce the ''nines,' but after the
fact was spoken about some one or
other noticed that another ''nine"
was added to the number.
