TAKING THE INITIAL STEPS.
The Local Orders Have Started Ar
rangements for the State G..
A. r. Encampment.

The executive committee of the
Grand Army, Womens Relief, and
Sons of Veterans, consisting Of about
fifteen, met last Saturday evening and
began the active preparations for the
state eucampment of the allied orders
that will hold their annual sessions here
during the month of June. The COM
mittee organized by electing Com
mander Silsby, chairman; G. G. Bras,
of the Sons, secretary, and b. r.
Kibbee, treasurer.
Committees on entertainment and
program, finance, decorations, re-
ception, music, arrangements, sssign-
ments, and advertising were appointed
and a general discussion of plans was
had. 1t is proposed by the committee
to make this encampment memorable
one in the history OF the organizations,
and no pains will be spared to make it
in every way agrand success.
We are not at liberty to announce
some of the good things proposed but
feel confident in saying that the plans
contemplate an occasion of more than
ordinary interest, and will doubtless re-
suit in bringing vast number of the
old soldiers, and their patriotic friend
to Mitchell during the week Of the
encampment. 1t is eight years since
Mitchell had the honor of entertaining
them, and the city, through it's COM
mittees and loyal citizens generally,
propose that it shall be the grandest
encampment ever held within the
borders of the state.
Keep your eye on Mitchell, and do
not fail to come to the Grand Army en-
campment, next June.

tion was filed by J. l.. Hannett against
W. D. Sanford. MIR. Sanford was
arrested Thursday afternoon and
and Friday afternoon his examin-
alton was held before Justice McKin-
ley. TT. Spangler appeared for the
defendant and States Attorney Winsor
looked after the prosecution. The
time the liquor was purchased of
the defendant was on the evening of
March Z. The evidence was sufficient
for the court to bind Mr.. Sanford over
to the May term OF court, his bond be-
ing placed at S400
The examination OF Joseph P. Brad
ley, who was placed under arrest Fri
terday afternoon for having sold intox-
icating liquors to minors, was held late
in the afternoon before Justice Nc
Kinley. The information was filed by
j. L. Hannett, Howard Smith and W.
N. Hollands, the latter having been q
witness to the transaction. No defense
was put up by Mr.. Bradley, nor was
there any defense made by Mr.. Sanford
earlier in the day, and Bradley was
bound over to the circuit court in the
sum of S400.
James Fogarty WAS the next to have
hearing. The information on which
Mr.. Fogarty was placed under arrest
was furnished by 81. G. Tapp. The de-
fendant appeared in court and waived
examination. he was accordingly
bound over to the circuit court in S400.
Each of the three defend ants furnished
the required bond. The testimony Of
| fered by the young men at the examin-
alton was given in a straightforward
and unequivocal manner and whatever
the result may be in the circuit court
the present action will have a strong
tendency to dispense with the practice
of selling liquors to minors.

touch with practically every city in the


northwest.
Special attention has been paid to the
constructions OF sidewalks and down
town the principal business portion is
complete with cement walks and stone
crossings. In the residence portion
good plank walks and cement walks
make pedestrian;sm pleasure. Par
ticuiar attention has been paid by the
people to growing shade trees and the
many avenues that are covered with
trees of large growth enchances the
beauty of that part of the city.
The waterwork OF the oity are in fine
condition and supplies all the needs in
cases of fire and for other purposes.
The town is we'll protected by cspa-
BILE fire company of volunteer men. A
fine system of sewerage meets the
wants of the city in this direction.
Two national banks and state bank
afford all tho accommodations that are
necessary in this respect and there are
no more solid institutions in the state
than the banks of Mitchell.
Five good hotels and several restaur-
anus take good care of the travelling
public. Another fine MOTEL is promised
for Mitchell this sumner.
Mitcheli's financial standing 10 not
surpassed by any oity in the state.
The bonded indebtedness is about
1853, 900 and does not include the out
standing school bonds, which have q
good many years to run before matur-
ity. The city bonds draw a. per cent
and the interest has been paid prompt
ly, while the city warrants are paid on
presentation. In the past four years
S20, 900 of the bonded debt has been
paid.
The stores of Mitchell carry fine
stocks of goods in every instance and
the business men are of the liYe pro-
gressive sort that make town grow
and maintain it's standing among it's
neighbors.
The population of Mitchell is be-
tween $500 and 1000 people and it is
constantly being added to by the mum.
ber of citizens from other towns who
are attracted here by the things which
make Mitchell an excellent town in
which to make home. Surrounding
the city is fine agricultural coun'
trv and it is peopIed with q class oi
farmers who are progressive and in
good financial condition. Mitchell will
make grand strides in 1900 towards
development and expansion along the
proper lines.

CITY SCHOOL DISCUSSION.
Supt. Quigley Has a Statement Con.
cerning the Advice to Visit
the Schools.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN,: In last Satur-
days issue appeared an article by pat
ron entitled ''The City Schools" The
article reflects upon two of our teachers
on account of manifesting anxiety be-
cause they had visitors. The teachers
have asked my advice in the matter
and l think it is best for NE to reply to
the article.
1t is not unusual, neither does it ordi-
narily excite surprise, for our schools
to have visitors. In this particular
case the anxiety on the part of the teach
ers arose from the fact that one of the
visitors told the janitor that it would be
well if he would slap the faces of the
teachers on that floor. Itappears further
thatanother lady was specially urged to
| visit one or more OF these rooms at this
particular time, for particular pur-
pose-which she did not wish to reveal
| The lady expressed herself as highly
pleased with the school and regrets
tn 1t she was urged into it. The teach
ers have learned that other visitors are
to come, inapired from the same source.
1t is very natural and reasonable that
the teachers should want to know what
it is all about. In my opinion it is a
tempest in teapot and does net merit
much consideration.
lam glad that am able to state that
the schools OF the citv at the present
time, without single exception, will
bear inspection, and I challenge any
fair-minded person to show to the con-
trary. The teachers are earnest. PAINS
taking, and capable, and 1 know that
they are doing their work faithfully
and skillfully. We seek the best
methods to attain the most desirable re-
suits. Mistakes are made and evils
arise but they are corrected as soon as
possible. Neither the board nor the
teachers can legally control the con-
duct OF pupils in all respects out of
school hours and away from the school
premises.
Evening bicycle, skating, and dane
ing parties, at unreasonable hours, in
questionable company, the use of
coarse and profane language, the
frequent meeting of trains, the flirting
with travelling showmen and other
strangers, the company Of vicious young
mon, are evils from which some of our
young girls need protection.
lam glad that many parents in our
oity are determined to know where
their children are pretty nearly all the
time. 1t is high time that the sale OF
| liquor to school boys should be stopped
and it would be further step in the
right direction if gambling and illegal
gaming should go at the same time.
"Fathers, mothers, taxpayers" we
earnestly invite you to visit and inspec,
the schools. Come at any time and
often but come in kindly, helpful
spirit. Criticise and suggest freely be
frank and above board, but don't come
with concealed dagger about you.
E. j. QUIGLEY, Sup't.
