Listen to This.

- At the annual school, meeting in
Cambridge the following resolution
was introduced, its author evidently
possessing a very acute sense of humor
which could only be acquired by a
course of training Tin the art of be-
coming a comic actor::''
Whereas, the time during which
school is held is supposed to be devoted
to stud y, and whereas, we do not be-
lieve that training children in the art
OF becoming comic actors is the pur-
pose for which the children are sent to
school,
Therefore, be it resolved that dur
ing the coming year no entertainments
shall be allowed training for which
shall consume any school time.

About Valuation.

While the results of the labors
OF the board of equalization are
not known, the return of personal
property in the county made
by the assessors of the several
towns shows an increase of over Sc, 900
as compared with the returns of last
year. This year when the changes
made by the board are figured and the
assessment rolls are completed the
valuation will be found to be greatly
increased. The assessors returns by
towns and VILLAGES is as follous.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1899-07-27

Last year the board Of equalization
Increased the valuation to 1926, 526 and
when Auditor Whitney finishes the
work laid out for him by the board
this year there will be found to be
several thousand dollars added to the
amount returned by the assessors.

Inasmuch as the time for the taking
of the census of 1900 is near at hand the
annXed remarks from the Northwest
Magazine, which are apropos Of the
probable center of population, should
prove interesting. Says the Magazine
Writer: 1T will be interesting when
the returns of the census of 1900 are
made up, to see where the center Of
population Is then shown to be located.
In 1860 it was near Athens i'm Southern
Ohio. In 1870 it had moved westward
to the neighborhood of Hamilton. Ohio.
In 1880 it was in Southern Indiana, near
the Ohio line. In 1890 it still rested i'm
Indiana, but had again moved west
ward. Probably the census of 1900 will
show it to be somewhere in Southern
Illinois, and we expect that il will have
swerved a little northward from a line
running due west from its last loca-
ton.
when the late General Francis II.
Walker was superintendent of the CEN

| tanning the center of population some

counteracted by the weight of the in

sippi river, however, in any case. The
growth of Minnesota and the Dakotas
Will probably about counterbalance that

need not expect a variance to the south

center than north of it, but population

in his ward that it is doubtful if
there will be any organized opposi-
ton to him from any source.
In the First ward the Democrats
also expect to gain member. 1t
is now represented by Mr.. Tibbs.
Three or four names have been
suggested for this nomination. Mr..
M. w. DAVIS, Mr.. Allan M Wallis,
Col. ]. o. Cooper and Mr.. /. F.
Campbell are all being talked about
in connection with the nomination.
The latter will be put forward as
the representative of the young De-
mocracy, as many young men room
and board in this downtown ward.
If Fletch puts in ne will be hard to
head of for the nomination and still
harder to beat at the election.

Bowling Green, Aug. pa
Goebel club was organized at the

DR.. t. B. Wright was elected

against John Young Brown.
John Young Brown will open his

A big crowd is expected to be on
hand, as it is understood excursions
will be run into the city from all
the surrounding counties.

CITY POLITICS.
Democrats Will Elect Six Coun-
cilmen This Year.
Some of the New Men Who Are
Being Discussed For The
Coming Nominations.

1t is likely that the city Com
mittee will hold meeting in few
days and order primary elections
in SIX wards to nominate ticket
for city councilmen. In the Fifth
ward, conceded to the Republicans,
nomination will hardly be made.
OF the six wards that usually 60
Democratic, two were lost in 1897
by a fusion of all the elements OPP
posed to the Democratic ticket.
This year there has so far been no
talk of a similar fusion and there
will probably be straight-out con-
test between Democrats and Re-
publicans.
The Democrats are confident they
will carry the city this fall by a
larger majority than usual, as the
excellent record of the Democratic
majority in the present council will
be strongly Endorsed by the people.
The lowering of the tax rate to
SIPS, after paying $4,000 of the
bonded debt, is one of the evidences
of good government that has i'm
pressed conservative men of all
parties with the benefits to be de-
rived from keeping the Democrats
in power.
There are at present four Demo-
Gratis, two Independents and one
colored Republican on the Board of
Council.
Three of the Democrats, Mr..
Ware in the Second ward, Mr.. Dali
ton in the Fourth and Mr.. Wall in
the Sixth, have no opposition and
will in all probability be renomi-
mated without contest. In the Sew
enth ward Mr.. Brasher declines to
run again and several gentlemen
are being discussed. OF these Mr..
A. ]. Reeder, Mr.. Stonewall Morris.
Mr.. X. M. Hurt and Mr.. J. w.
Yancey allhave some strong friends.
Ary one of them would make a
good councilman.
In the Third ward, now repre-
scented by DIR. Bentley, the Demo-
Gratis will nominate Mr.. James
West by general consent and he
will win an easy victory. The
Third was lost by few votes in
1897, under circumstances that can
not occur again under the present
law. Mr.. West is one Of Hopkins
