makes voluntary. In one case, it has
proved impossible. On the other hand,
in three townships, in which lumber
ing or manufacturing industries have
been established, the proprietors of
these enterprises have contributed the
entire amount to be collected. and in
one instance have also paid half the
expenses of the school established. 1t
will be a question to be solved by the
next Legislature whether any practi-
cable method can be found whereby
the collection of this per capita tax
can be made compulsory.
The lack of suitable school accom-
modations in most of these townships
has caused much perpleXity. In a few
of them, schoolhouses, generally of a
very primitive character. We're found.
They had been built by private indi-
viduals to accommodate occasional
terms of schools supported at private
expense. In one case, a schoolhouse
was found. furnished with modern
school desks. and with maps, charts
and other like appliances. This had
been built by a liberal resident of the
township, and a school had been main
tanned in it at his expense. Where no
sChoolhouSe was found, schools have
been taught in private houses or other
buildings which We're fitted up FOR me
purpose. Two schools have held their
sessions in the Catholic chapels in the
townships, and the use of these was
generously granted by the parties nav
ing charge of them. In several CT the
townships. where there are no school
houses. steps are being taken TO erect
school buildings before the beginning
of another school year.
In the thirty-siX townships brought
under the law, there is, as returned by
the agents. an aggregate Of 6n chill
drcn between the ages of four and
twenty-one years. 1t is at present i'm
possible to state the number who have
attended the schools established. cT
give anything like accurate and COM
plete information regarding the total
expenditures made. and to be made for
the wear. as the school year will not
expire until April l. 1900. At that time
detailed returns will be in possession
of the department upon all the items
upon which those having charge of
common schools must report. When
these facts are at hand. a fuller state
ment will be made Of the work done.
the needs of the schools, the prospects
for the future and the changes which
are necessary to replace these schools
on a profitable basis. At this time it
is only possible to state that so far as
the school registers have been returned
by the agents, they have shown a
creditable attendance AS to expendi-
lures. it can be said that the bills all
ready filed for payment and those be

Creveling were married Tuesday evening

affair, in fact it was kept so quiet that
only few of their most intimate friends
knew of it till next day. They were &C.
companied to the parsonage by Mr.. r.
G. Rice and Miss Maud Doak. Although
people were surprised, yet they we're not,
for the observing public was half sus-
pecting such happy elimination. The
groom is the accommodating and
efficient deputy post master and is a
most excellent young man. The bride
is the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. r. J.
Creveling. For some years she was
book keeper at the Bilharz store. She
is an accomplished singer and is posses
sed of beautiful personality and dis
position that will make her home
happy one. These two young people
are held in high esteem. The REPUBLI-
CAN joins in good wishes.
