In Senate Appropriation For St Louis
Worlds Fair.

Washington, June 5.-The house last
night agreed to the senate amendment
to the sundry civil bill appropriating
S5,000,000 for the Louisiana purchase ex-
position at St Louis. There was not a
word of debate on concurrence in the
amendment 1t was after 6 o'clock when
the matter came up and owing to the
lateness Of the hour and the over
whelming majority in its favor, the op-
ponents of the fair appropriation did
not even make a. show of opposition.
They contented themselves with de-
manding a roll call which resulted 127
ayes to rs nays in favor of the appro-
priation.
There are only four appropriation
bills still in dispute between the two
houses
Mr.. Tawney (Ddinn.) is making an ef-
fort to delay final adjournment unless
action is had on the Grout oleomargar-
inc bill, but he met with no success to-
day.
Everything so far as the house is con-
cerned indicates final adjournment on
Wednesday.

policy Of the war department respect

a brief statement of the facts in the

MUSCULAR PASTOR.


For years 1 have not been able to

when 1 began to drink Postum, my

sedentary. but for the past two years
my muscles have been hard and 1 never

The reason Postum builds up the hu-
man body to a prime condition of health
is that when coffee is left off, the drug
effects of the poison disappear and the
elements in Postum unite with albumen
of the food to make gray matter and re-
fill the delicate nerve centers all over
the body and in the brain. This sets up
a perfect condition of nerve health,

A WOMAN'S MESSAGE
Causes Mob to Change the Location
of a Hanging.

Sissippi City has taken a, negro named
Askew. suspecting of Outraging and
numbering Miss Winterstein late Satur-
day night, from Jail and have gone with
him to the woods. The mOb's intention
is to make the negro confess.
A later dispatch from Mississippi City
says that investigation has confirmed
the mob in the belief that Askew is the
man who murdered the girl. His cloth
ing was found covered with blood and
he co1ld not explain it.
Undoubtedly the mob would have
hanged the negro then and there but
the mother of the young girl sent a
message asking that the man be
brought to Biloxi for her Identification.
Askew will be taken to Biloxi by boar,

BUILDING FUND. ''-''''-'''
What a mill levy will bring on as
sessed valuation.
The increased estimate of teachers sal
aries is due to an increase in the schedule
of S98175 and an estimated increase of
S2,5lS.25 for the coming year, based on the
theory of three new rooms at Branner,
two. new rooms at Polk and two new
rooms at Euclid schools. This makes a.
total increase of $500 for the school year.
The estimate for the coming year raises
all but two of the appropriations, but the
increase in the total estimate is but S552 u
over the expenses of the previous year
The difference is made up in the furniture
estimate. During the past year the desks
and seats in many of the schools have
been replaced at an expense of $4,42l33,
while for the coming year the estimate
calls for but 81, 500 for furniture.

AT the regular meeting Of the school
board last night it was decided to have
the plans and estimates for the compile

of Euclid school made at once.
Poik school will be completed by the
erection of a west wing which was pro-
Vlded for in the original plan of the build
ing Euclid school will be enlarged by
two-room addition. The board decided to
take no further action on the building
question until the estimate of the cost of
the two additions is made A new build
ing and several additions are needed this
year POtwin school is crowded and
should be completed according to the orig
inal plans by the addition of four rooms.
Harrison school is crowded and needs a
two-room addition. A building to take the
place Of-tne old Sumner school is needed
In addition, the heating plant at the High
schol must be replaced. The building fund
will not exceed $500 and but part of this
work can be carried out this year.
The finance committee submitted the
following estimate of running expenses
for the coming year. This does not in
clude any estimate on the new furnace
needed at the High school.
