The ADVENTURES OF A LITTLE Boy.
Once upon time there was Little Boy who
lived on farm. The Brown and Gray and
White house was situated ON large Hill,
from which one could look down and see
the Ford in the river below. This Little
Boys father kept Henery, and although
the Little Boy had many amusements he was
not satisfied. He could watch the eggs
Hatch, shoot Woodcock and Kill, gore the
bull, walk in the Wood, see over the high
Wall tons of hay, or make the ram either
Buck or Shoe man. But still he was not
satisfied. He had a sister who had both
Prudence and Grace, and who could sing a
Carol very prettily. But the Little Boy
did not wish to live on the farm, he wished
to enter High school, so one day he did.

CANNOT RUSH H THROUGH
REPUBLICAN SCHEME TO GERRY
MANDER THE CITY MUST BE
VOTED UPON
NO MOVE HAS YET BEEN MADE
Members Of the Charter Commission
State That the Matter Cannot
Come Up Until Next
Election.

Hope runs high in the breast of more
than one Republican who has a banker
ing to serve the taxpayers at So much
per, that something may yet be done
with the proposed plan to gerrymander
the city to the extent of creating two
some Of the heavy Democratic MAORI
ties which of late have made their ap-
pearance in several Of the wards notably
the Eighth
The scheme was publicly launched a
few evenings ago at a meeting of the
Lincoln Republican club when an eff
fort was made to show that the city
was not evenly divided politically, and
that victory would ever perch on the
Republican banner if some of the Repub-
Ican strongholds were divided and tho
overplus used to smother some of the
Democratic odds to be found in other
wards
Chester r. Smith, a member of the
charter commission, from whose hands
an order for the redistricting of the
wards would have to come, in speaking
OF the matter yesterday, said he had
not been approached on the scheme.
when the charter was first drawn
said MIR. Smith, the idea of redistricting
the city was talked of by the members
of the commission, but we were fearful
that politics might enter and cause the
defeat of the charter, and for that rea-
son it was dropped. The scheme is all
right, but tie division should it come to
a vote would be marked"
Gen. H. W. Childs, another member of
the charter commission, stated that no
steps had been taken to his knowledge.
The matter could not come up before the
next election when the amendment If
adopted would have to be voted upon.
He refused to offer any opinion as to the
advisability or practibility Of redistrict-
ing the city.
Pending the return of ]. F. George.
president of the Lincoln Republican club,
a committee IS now inquiring INTO the
feasibility OF the proposed change, bit
that it is thought is as far as they will
ever get
Even among the Republicans who
would be benefited in the event that a
change was made, there are many who
are opposed TO it. It would mean addi-
tional aldermen and assenblyn1en in the
event that new wards were created and
this, some contend, would mean an addi-
ttonal burden on the tax payer All the
members Of the charter commission as a
rule, profess ignorance in the matter, not
having given il any thought.

SALOONS MUST M(|VE ON
CANNOT REMAIN NEARER THAN
FOUR HUNDRED FEET TO
A SCHOOL
THEY HAVE NO VESTED RIGHTS
City Attorney Says They Must Leave
the NeighbOrhOOd When schools
Come In-SeveraI Places
Affected.

If the saloonkeepers of Minneapolis
imagine they have any vested rights
which permit them to carry on their bust
ness within 400 feet of a public school
building, even though. the saloon moved
in before the school house was built,
they are grieVously mistaken. When the
public school moves in the saloon must
move out. That is being demonstrated
just now. Several saloonkeepers whose
establishments are in such close proxim-
ity to various public schools that it has
been thought advisable to find out
whether they were closer than the law
allows, have. been informed by the au-
thorities that their places are within the
prohibited distance. This means that
they must move, if they wish to continue
their business.
The matter is governed by the ordinance
passed by the city council in 1889 and
approved by Mayor Babb on April l of
that year. This ordinance says that no
person shall be licensed to sell any In
texicating beverages who intends, if IL
censed, to carry on his business, or who
WILL when licensed, carry on his business
within 400 feet of any public school build
ing or within 200 feet of any public park
or parkway.

BY an opinion filed yesterday by the

The opinion was written by Justice
Lewis, and siding with him We're Justices
Start and Collins. Justices Lovely and
Brown dissented very strongly, contend

Public Examiner General Pope yester-
day received an opinion from Attorney
General Douglas IN regard to the right
of counties with more than 40 900 popula-
ton. which have attained. the population
since the law was passed in 1895, giving
those counties a right to Increase their
appropria ton for clerk hire III county
auditors and treasures offices and also
increasing the salaries of county treas
urers and auditors.
The county referred to is Stearns, and
the attorney general holds that the SAL
aries of county auditor and treasurer
can be raised, and also that more money
can be appropriated for clerk hire in
these offices. In his letter in which he
gives the opinion. Attorney General
Douglas says:
I'm your favor of Dec s, you inquire
if the salaries Of the officers and clerks
of Stearns county shall be fixed and de-
termined by the provisions of chapter 292
