received telegram from Prof. Grant,
who is at Shullsburg, Wis, at present,
asking for the board to accept his res
ignatlon. Prof. Grant had been high
ly recommended to the board by par
ties in the Black Hills, where he had
taught successfully for number of
years. He was anxious to secure the
school here and was not long in attach
ing his name to contract for the
schools, which bound the school board
sufficiently but evidently had no re-
strictions on Mr.. Grant, when he would
SO easily cancel it. Had he taken action
in time to permit the board to secure
another principal the situation would
not have been so bad, but it was shab-
by trick to wait until week before
school opened and put the board in the
hole. One would naturally expect hon
or from gentleman in his position but
there is only disappointment found.
The professor is entitled to severe con-
demna.ion for his action and were it
possible some action ought to be COM
menced against him, but it would likely
prove fruitless. The schools open next
Monday, but there will be principal
present. Prof. Will Herbert, who
taught last year, has kindly consented
to take the position for several weeks
until he is ready to go to Lincoln, Neb.,
to enter the law school, by which time
it is hoped that a principal can be So
cured who will stay hired.

DEATH OF FATHER LAWLER.
The Aged Catholic Priest Died Satur
day Morning at His Home in
Alexandria.

The death of Father Lawler has been
anticipated for several days and Satur-
day morning the announcement reached
Mitchell shat his death occurred. at
about 5.o'clock that morning, aged IS
years. He has been sick but short
time and has been able to perform his
duties as the priest of the Alexandria
parish until within the past few weeks.
Father Lawler is a we'll known figure
in Catholic history in this state. he
commenced his duties first in the south
partat Emmett in Union county about
Il years ago. He remained there
about five years and since then he has
administered to the people of Alexan-
dria. Although an aged man he has
been very faithful so his work. He
made frequent visits to Mitchell and
was quite we'll known in Catholic cir
cles.
Father Lawler has been a priest
longer perhaps than any other man in
the United States, at least his friends
say that is fact. About five years
ago he celebrated his golden anniver-
sary at Alexandria and the occasion
was one of much importance in Catho-
lie circles, many high dignitaries out
side OF the state being present. At
that time he was given the title of
Monsigneur.

YOUNG TITzE IN TROUBLE.
Having Got Out of the Reform School
He is Arrested for Stealing
Money.

Albert Titze is again in the tolls and
for the same charge that he was arrest
ed several weeks ago, that of stealing
1919 in money from Joseph Weepie.
At that time the charge was changed
40 as to make him eligible to the re-
form school. He was sent to the re-
formatory but was removed when the
court held that the county court had
no jurisdiction in the case. Young
Tiize was arrested few days ago on
the former charge and his examination
was held before Judge Mckinley
Tuesday. States Attorney Winsor ap-
peared for the state and III. c. Preston
for the defendant.
The state examined five or six wit
nesses and they told the same story that
was printed in The REPUBLICAN at
the time. Mr.. Weepies little boy was
put on the stand and stated that he saw
Titze go to the bureau and remove the
box which contained the money, and
the little fellow said he told Titze at
the time to put the money back as il
belonged to his father. Other Witness
es testified that young Titze made a
confession to the fact that he stole the
money and that he offered to return it
if given time. The money was after
ward found by Mrs. Weepie who
was working in the garden one day and
the box was buried in The soil.
Mr.. Preston at this time did not offer
to open up their side of the case and
had no particular objection to the court
binding the boy over. He felt conf
dent of the boys innocence and though t
be would be able to establish it when
the case was tried before the circuit t
court. The justice held the boy to the
November term in bonds OF $500, which
were furnished that afternoon.

The auditor reported his correspond.
ence with the we'll men as directed by
the council and stated that Mr.. Lane
would be in the city the first of next
week with proposition for the council
in regard TO furnishing all the water
that is needed for certain figure. The
council has had an interview with the
gentleman and there is feeling of con-
fidence that he can do as he says.
A resolution was Introduced con-
denlning the sidewalk and requiring it
to be rebuilt from the corner of F. A.
Bidwells house to the railroad. Anoth-
er sidewalk on the north side of First
street, extending from Main street to
Lawler street, was condemned and,the
owners notified to rebuild it within 60
days.
The new fire ordinance which had
been placed on its second reading and
was ready for passage was brought up.
At the last meeting the mayor returned
the ordinance to the council with his
veto attached and it required a two
thirds vote to pass it over his veto.
The new ordinance gives the coun-
Gil the privilege, by q three.fourths
vote, to extend the privilege for the
erection within the fire limits of any
kind of building they see fit. The
mayor objected to the council having
anything to do with the granting of
such privileges and felt that it ought
not to pass. Alderman Hannett held
that the state law was good authority
for the point in the ordinance and he
felt that the closer they came to that
the better off they would be. A vote
being taken on the passage of the or
dinance showed that all the members
present voted to pass it over the may
or's veto. The ordinance will be pub
lished in few days with the mayors
objections attached.
The bonds Of DR.. A. II. Daniels, as
health officer, and L. W. Adams rs
assessor, were presented and approved.
The guttering of Main street came in
for another discussion. 1t was the in.
tention to send small delegation OF
the council to Yankton to investi-
gate the cement cutters of that city
but it had not been done so no action
could be taken, inasmuch as bids had
not been asked for as yet. The time
has expired or will expire in few days
for the filing of protests and at the end
OF that time the work will be ready for
commencement. A committee con-
sisting of j, L. Hannett L. A..Stout and
Jos. Mclaughlin was appointed to go
10 Yankton to make an investigation Of
the cement cutters in that city and re-
port to the council at a meeting to be
held again on Friday evening, to which
time the council adjourned.

NEW FIRE ORDINANCE

Albert TitZe Bound Over to Circuit Court
and is Charged With Having

OVER THE MAYORS VETO.
City Council Passes New Fire Ordin-
ance Even Though the Mayor
Vetoed the Proposition.

1t took some time for a quorom of the
city council to gather Monday even
ing before business could be COM
nenced. Even then neither the mayor
nor the president of the council were
present and Vice President Beckwith
was called to the chair and the alder
man presided in an efficient manner.
The following aldermen were present:
Messrs. Stout, Perry, Wells, McLaugh-
lin, Beckwith and Hannett.
Auditor Mccormick read the minutes
OF the previous regular and special
meetings and they were approved as
read.
The first matter of Importance to
come before the council WAS the appro-
priations for the ensuing year and the
amounts for the various funds are as
follows: sinking $500; cemetery 800;
interest S2,790: fire department $3.50;
printing 5000; salaries $4,000; lights
$l,56O; streets and alleys 81 400, water
works $1,000; shortage S9l5; contingent
$780, making total of $l4,9I5. This
is an increase over last year OF 81, 1886,
but of this amount 1915 is for shortage,
occasioned by the payment of the city
bonds last SPRING. An addition of s42o
was made on account of the necessity
of doing more street work. There are
very few cities in the state Of the size of
Mitchell that are running on as small
expense and keeping up the improve
ments that are necessary.
An amendment was made to the or.
dinance relating to the licenses for
shooting galleries, striking machines
and the like and also covering merry
go.rounds. In the former case the
shooting galleries will be charged no
less than SIS or more than $40 per day,
in the discretion of the mayor. The
license for the merry-go-round will
hereafter be SIS and up to $50 per dsv,
in the discretion of the mayor. This
amendment was placed on its first read
ing.
The reports OF the city officers were
read and approved. Treasurer Kibbee
made his annual report showing the
receipts and expenditures for the year.
City ,Weigher McDopald's report
showed the receipts of his Office to have
been $26 for the preceding month.
Auditor Mccormick filed his annual
report, the full publication of which is
given in another column, showing the
receipts, disbursements and the bonded
indebtedness of the city.
The following bills were presented
and allowed and warrants ordered
drawn for their payment:
