A FOREST0N FIGHT.
District No. ii Has a School Fight On
Which Will Rival That of

An Attempt Is Being rlade to Gust an
Officer and rlandamus Proceed

st. Paul and Minneapolis are not to
be left alone in their enjoyment of
school difficulties, for Foreston hobs
up serenely with a whole hatful of
suits and troubles.
The matter has gone so far that the
district court has been asked for
mandamus, as the following from the
ST.. Cloud .Jo1u71al-Press will show:
IA formal demand has been made,
through Attorney r. B. Brewer of
this city, upon J. M. Stowe, ex-clerk
of school district No. II, Foreston,
Mile Laos county. Stowe was re-
Gently removed from Office because of
alleged misconduct in Office, having re-
fused to sign vouchers for teachers
salary because the teacher was dis
tasteful to him. The other directors
declared the Office vacant, but he has
refused to surrender his books to his
successor. He has refused to comply
with the attorneys demand for the
books and a mandamus proceeding will
be commenced through the district
court to bring him to time. The mat
ter is the subject of some discussion
with not few forcible adjectives at
Foreston."
Mr.. Stowe was-in Princeton Monday
and the UNION asked him for his side
OF the story, He says that in August
the board held a meeting at which the
amount of money each teacher was to
be paid was decided upon and the
board was unanimously agreed that it
was necessary to practice rigid econ
omy. Shortly afterward two members
of the board made contracts with
teachers at higher salary than that
agreed upon and he refused to sign
these contracts. When the orders for
wages were presented for his signature
be again refused to comply and then
Messrs. Cone and Neumann declared
his Office vacant. He declares his
Office very much occupied and doesn't
propose to have it considered other
Ewise@unHl the COURT eompels him to do
so. In the meantime Mr.. Cone has
left Foreston and has taken up resi-
dence in St. Cloud and Mr.. Stowe init
mates that if anyone has vacated an
office it is Mr.. Cone. although the lat
ter is still acting.
There will probably be all sorts of
fun before the end is reached.

Another improvement that has been
practically decided upon is the addi-
ton of another band mill to cost in the
neighborhood of $1,000. This will be
the latest improved Diamond mill, will
take the place of the rotary now in use,
and will give the Foley-Bean plant an
all-band mill and the capacity will be
greatly increased thereby. The man.

Mile Laos Lake Reserved Sections Are De-

Several filings were offered at the
United States land Office Saturday by
men who are anxious to locate on lands
in sections Is and SO in the Mile Laos
Indian reservation. The State claims
these sections as school lands but the
general government disputes the claim,
and these parties are willing to make
homestead entry upon the lands in the
hope that the States claim is held void
by the courts and that the title will
rest in the general governments. The

A PEsAcH STORY.
BY MILTON GOLDSMITH.

INT was an odd Passover celebration beyond a doubt.
liz and it came about in this way. Rheinthal, the
Schadchen, came to Teggendorf one bright day in
March in a great state Of excitement. His long
tailed frock coat was dusty, his frowsv plug hat was
picturesquely brushed against the grain and his shoes
were brown with evidences Of extensive travel. For
Rheinthal had ridden six hours in an open wagon
and had walked three hours more over hill and dale
to reach Teggendorf before the Sabbath. He arrived
just as the good housewives were lighting the Sab
bath lamps.
His gaunt, weary legs carried him straight to
Widow Shlegel's door.
peace to thee, Herr Rheinthal, cried the widow.
What news do you bring?'
Rheinthal took off his hat and with a red hand
kerchief wiped his perpiring brow, for in spite ofhthe
BILE TX March wind he was warm with ~exertion.
Good news he said at last. II have a bride for
your son Meyer!''
A smile of contentnent spread over the mothers
face.
'Nu? Who is she? There are few worthy to tie
my Meyers shoe strings. Has she a dowry?"
"A ~dowry?' Rheinthals macked his thick lips and
winked his eye beneath its shaggy brow. MAY all
good children of Israel receive as much!' lie said.
But where is Meyer? must see him at once
He is dressing for the Synagogue. Meyerleben,'
she called up the dark stairway.
Movers heavy boots on the stairs announced his
coming. Another lighter tread proved that he was
not alone He entered a moment later, a rugged spe-
cimen of humanity with a heavy head, a coarse red
beard, a thick neck and gigantic hands. He was a
drover by profession, and long association with oxen
had given him a bovine aspect and manner. But
Meyer was the richest man in Teggendorf, and that
made amends for his lack of finer traits. The young
man who accompanied him was a Bochur, q Talmud
student, who was boarding gratuitously with the
Schlegels while he taught Cheder religious sehool)
in the village, He was a tall, slim man of refined ap-
pearance, with a silky black beard and an air Of gell~

applauded. The six students who con-
Quoted the debate were Messrs. Charles L.
Knox, Alfred ID. Smith, and William G.
Dunn for the affirmative, and Messrs. Os-
good H. Dowell Frederick A. Tanning,
and John j. Hill for the negative. Mr..
Smith, of Pennsylvania, discussed the
military and naval side OF the question in
an eloquent manner; Mr.. Knox, of Ne
vada. gave his attention to the social as
pect of the alliance and predicted a great
future for the women of the two nations
while Mr.. Dunn, of Virginia, demolished
Washington's farewell address and tore up
the Monroe doctrine. But all of this elo-
quence was CT no avail, for the remorseless
honorable judges Messrs. Eugene Ca
rusi. Thomas c. Noyes, and Ashley Nj.
Could decided that the weight of argu-
ment was with the negative, or as Pro-
fessor Carusi put 1t, the defendants" won
their cause.
Mr.. Dowell. of Maryland and Mr.. Fan
ming, of the District of Columbia, poured
in heavy shot in the shape of weighty ar
guments, to the purport that the United
States should keep out of "entangle-
ments," and that an alliance of love-
friendship. and self-respect, is all-suffi-
cient for both nations. and much stronger
than any formal treaty is ever likely TO
be. Mr.. Hill of Wyoming gave his 'atten-
liOD " utiiiOlISuIuS lue perfectly aD-
surd" arguments advanced by the affirma-
tive, or the plaintiffs. Such is the un-
certainty of the law that he won his case,
and was covered with bushes and con,
gratulations.
The debate was a little remarkable as
showing the good feeling Americans have
for England inasmuch as not single al
lusion was made to Yorktown, Bunker
Hill, Lexington. Valley Forge, the battle
OF Bladensburg, or the burning of the Cap
itol on ''yonder hill" in 1912. Those old
historical chestnuts were discarded and
the new problems for the moderns TO
crack were Samoa, Cuba, Hawaii. and the
Philippine Islands. Altogether the DIS
cusson was of high order, rejecting
credit upon the students and the college
which they represented. Miss Edna Sc 1tt
Smith sang a solo, For the Sake OF the
Past" and received hearty encore. Af-
ter more charming songs from the ladies,
the flags OF friendship were folded up
vote of thanks to all concerned was NOV
ed by Mr.. Allen, OF Connecticut, and the
audience dispersed, cheering for Co UNI
bia and Britannia. and wondering which
side of the team won.
