for Library.4 = :, "a ~

The new quarters of the public library
in the old Market houses building are
being rapidly completed and within the
next few weeks there will be a formal
opening of that part of The building. The
affair willsbe IN the nature ofSa&rprom-
erade concert, to which the public will
be invited.
The credit for transforming the old, di,
lapidated Market house building from an
eye sore to the present handsome struct-
ure, with spacious, quarters fors tens
porary library, is due to the energy and
hard work of the present board of library
directors, headed by Edward Feldhauser
A score or more years ago the city built
a market house 1T Seventh and Wabasha
streets. In time the building, owing to
changes in the life. Of the city and in
creased population, became of no practical
use so far as a market house was con-
cerned skls
The. Bell charter, adopted in 1891, took
away from the council and the library
board any power to properly care for this
educational branch of the city and limit
ed the annual Appropriation to $4,000 a
year. In the meantime the market house

mittee from the council, was growing

SCHOOL FUND SHORTAGE
FACTS WITH REFERENCE TO THE
CERTIFICATES WHICH M'CAR-

WHY TEACHERS HAD TO WALK
$69,2I7 Was Charged to 1t which
should Not Have Been, Which
Was Why schools Were
Short.

The public examiner last December re-
ported that the. comptroller. Mr. McCar-
dy, had enormously paid certain certifi-
Gates of indebtedness out of the school
fund. This Mr. Mccardy explained by
stating that the "Beil charter had au-
thorized the issuance of certificates to
the amount of $S5O,OOO for the purpose of
taking up the floating indebtedness of the
school fund: This was done and the
money credited TO the school fund. Con-
sequently. Mr.. McCardy says, the certifi-
Gates were charged to the school fund
when they became due.
Now, when the schools OF our city are
liableOto be closed for lack of funds,
it Is the proper time. to lay before the
public the facts IN the matter which
will lead to the restoration to the school
fund the sum of $50, 217, of which 1t was
robbed through the ignorance or par
tiality for Eastern capitalists of Mr.
McCardy.
The facts are that $780, 600 was insult
f1cent to cover the floating Indebtedness
of the school board, which amounted to
over $500,000. The difference, $176. 200,
not including interest, had to be provided

LONDON. April 7.-Gen. French In try

about:
About 5000 yards from the square kopje

a Vickers-Maxim opened fire on our ad-
vance A great many shells were thrown.
We, however, suffered no loss, and P
battery opened In an attempt to silence
these guns whose chance Of escape SEEM
ed very slender. But here an exciting

Gen. French once more realizing that

himself to make his dispositions sudden

whole right wing, barring a squadron Of

THE IDOL OF THE TURF.
The Most Popular Jockey in Amer
lea and England Recommends
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,

No jockey has ever appealed so strongly
to public favor as Tod Sloan.
He has achieved more than his most
hoteo predecessors ever attempted and
stands in class by himself
Not satisfied with his successes in his
native country, he went to England and
now his fame as a successful horsen,an
is on the tip Of every tongue not only In
this country and England, but in every
section of the globe where racing has,
found favor
When Tod first went to England his
temerity was openly laughed at, but tha
little American played skittles with his
English rivals and his victories made ali
England gasp.
Having the stamp Of royal approval, So
clety both at home and abroad "liontze"
him and he Is feted and petted to an ex-
tent that would turn an ordinary mortaTs
head.
The great jockey was in such demand
socially and dined ard wined to such an
extent that it was feared his health would
give way. Too much society and the
nervous strain of racing told on him.
A Two weeks trip to America made him
acquainted with Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets and their remarkably restorative ef,
fects on depleted digestive apparatus
ana he recommended them in unstinted
terms TO friend, saying "Stuart's Dys-
pepsia Tablets are the best thing I know
OF Tor keeping the stomach in condition
and appetite in good repair"
thousands of former dyspeptlcs can
vouch for the truth of Tod Sloan's words
as ''Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets" have be-
come a household word in America. and
Sew iainliles are without them. One or
two taken after meals keep the stomach
sweet by causing prompt and healthy di-
gestion of the food.
Perfectly healthy people use them after
heavy dinners to keep their good health
ana to make sure that no i'll effects will
follow an unusually hearty meal.
Your druggist will tell you or your
doctor either, that Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets are composed only of dipestive
Eerments, Aseptio Pepsin, Hydrastis

as well as the most delicate, constitute
