A care to the Public.

To the public 4 wish to express my
feelings and regrets to our friends
through the columns of this paper in
regard to my actions at my home last
Sunday night.
There are times during the course of
the average mans life when at the
impulse of the moment under an eXcit-
able temper, If not on our guard, we
are all liable to say or do some act
that we are afterwards sorry for. The
lesson l have just had has been a hard
one-one never to be forgotten and
always to be regretted. While the
reports that have been circulated of
my cowardly actions have been greatly
exaggerated, it is bad enough to say
the least, and no one could feel this
more keenly than do.

The Board then took up the matter
of the purchase of a school site and for
the next hour this question was the
order of business. Every member of
the Board seemed to have different
idea of what should be done. The
matter of the erection of the school
seems to have gone so far that it has
become ward fight between the three
wards on the North side. The con-
census of opinion, as CLEANED from the
rambling remarks of the, several Com
missioners Tuesday evening, is that a
small building be erected at present on
the site at the north end of town, and
that when an eight room building is
needed it be erected on the site of the
present North side school
The Board took no action to settle
the building question, but decided to
purchase the Pitts property at the cor
ner of Bronson and Caledonia streets
for the sum of $1,000. A committee,
consisting of the President of the Board
and the Superintendent were appointed
to look up the legality of the purchase
of such a site, and if it is found legal
for them to take action they will buy
the lot at once.
After the usual arrangements had
been made for holding the annual
Commencement exercises the Board
adjourned to meet on next Tuesday
evening.

The meeting of the Board of Educa

Tuesday evening, proved to be one of
the hottest sessions ever held by the
Board. So hot was it indeed that
nearly all the Commissioners laid off
their coats and vests and the Chairman
went so fal as to discard his collar and
tie. The roll call showed that Com
missioners Holderness, Melville, Har-
bert and Jackson had fOres sen the
evil and had hid themselves, but the
remaining Commissioners proved to be
quite as much as the Chairman cared
to handle before the meeting closed.
Under the head of communications
the designations of Misses Belle Black
man and Nellie L. Maloney were re
ceived and accepted. No effort was
made to select successors to the teach
ers, but one application was received
for the position held by Miss Blackman.

How Go you account Tor the dissatis-

soldiers in the use of the canned roast
beef" I think there We're several req
sCns-the heat which caused the fat and
the jelly to melt. and instead of a nice.
attractive looking piece of meat com
ing out of the can the meat would sep
arate-come apart in pieces. And there
was no salt in it. no pepper, To condi-
nents, ard in many cases rocordirrent
were used I think it would have given
more satisfaction if made up and cooked
with vegetables. 1t should be taken out
of the can as soon as the can is opened. -
Say a soldier ate his breakfast out Of
can would what remained keep in the
can for SUPPER" L am not a judge ss
to that as 7 have never eaten it under
those conditions
Major Lee read from ar advertisement
Of Armour * Co. this extract: Armour :

nutritious properties OF the beef" ard
asked how long since the change had
been made. The witness took the adver-
Iisement, which he said was an old one.
and added these words which had been
omitted by Major Lee. to such an ex-
tent that in making soup with Vegeta-
Iles no soup bore or other stock is nee

uCtS. Absolutely no chemicals We're. used
in anything furnished the government.
In answer to General Davis the wit
ness stated as another reason for the
soldiers not liking the canned roast beef
that neither the regulars FOR the volun-
teers We're used to il, the regulars haV-
ing fresh beef at the posts. The canned
beef was certainly rot appetizinG unless
the proper condiments We're used or If
the meat was not properly cooked. Some

some Of the tins We're defective. Where
one tin III q case was defective the whole

to prcser-e refrigerated beef over
