The monthly session Of the school
board was held Tuesday evening, and
at the meeting it was announced that
arrang ements had been made for the
conducting OF a rural school within the
city limits. This is the Linn township
school on West Main street, but the
building is located in the territory re-
Gently annexed to the city.
President Devine, of the board. had
been delegated with the duty OF deter
mining what should be done with the
pupils In that portion of the city, there
being a large number of children resi-
dents there of school age who are en-
titled to the benefits of the city schools
but who are long distance from the
ward buildings. A conference was held
with the directors of the township and
temporary arrangements made, where
by the West Main street school is to be
continued. The school tax for that dis
trict has already been raised, and the
township will continue to pay the teach
Ter employed there but the Marshalitown
district will furnish such text books as
are furnished the city schools and are
asked for by the pupils Of that territory.
Such pupils as prefer to attend the reg
ular ward schools can not be debarred
therefrom, however. and 1t is probable
that several who do not reside too far
from the Arnold and Second ward
buildings will enroll in one or the other
of these schools and thus receive the
full educational benefits of residence
within the city limits.
Secretary Trotter reported to the
board that he was engaged In taking the
annual school census of the city and
that the work was nearing completion.
He said the census would show good
increase especially when the enuinera-
ton of the annexed territory was made
and included. He has completed the
Fourth ward, and the old portions of the
Third and Second wards. In the Fourth
ward the enumeration shows over 1000
children of school age-that is, between
the ages of and 81. This is an increase
of nearly 100 in that ward The foot
ings for the Second and Third wards
will not be made until the new territory
is Ycanvassed.
Superintendent Willard reported that
the schools had opened satisfactorily
but that the attendance could not be
determined until the assignments TO
buildings and classes had peen com
| pleted. Many transfers have been nee
essary, especially in the First ward.
| where the two third grades were con-
solidated to make room for q sixth
grade.
Director Atkinson caused a lively dis
cussion by Insisting that separate ac-
count be kept of the expenditures and
receipts for free text books, SO that the
| board would know exactly what IS be-
Ing expended and what the system is
costing the district. He rather inferred
that some items of expense that should
be charged to the free text books ac-
count are charged to other accounts and
thus better showing made for the sys-
Item than it deserves. Other members
| of the board insisted that the figures
are easily obtainable under the present
system, but 1t was agreed that sepa-
rate account be kept.
The semi-annual meeting of the board
will be held in two weeks.

After the wrestling match a bout be-
tween kid" Reynolds. of this city, and
Jim Judd. of Chicago, was pulled off.
being announced as six-round go. w
r. Richter refereed the mill, and Harry
Larson acted as timer. George Myrick
handled Reynolds and kid" Riley, of
Chicago, acted as Judd's second. The
| fight only lasted four rounds, and for the
first three there was some furious work
even with the six ounce gloves. First
blood was awarded Reynolds in the
third round he securing 1t by a LEFT jab
to Judd's nose. Reynolds fouled his an
tagonist in the fourth and Judd insisted
on decision, which Referee Richter
promised at the end of the sixth round.
AS Judd refused to come, to time when
the fifth round was called Richter
awarded the fight to Reynolds. Reyn-
olds showed up very cleverly in the mill
and was the better of the two men.
Judd's worst fault was in his defense.

Commissioners M'MiIIen

Claim to be Upon the
Best of Terms.
They Think the Citizens Should
Quit Knocking.

City Commissioners McMillen and
Houser announce that the report that
they had had a difference last week
with reference to the hanging of GER
tain doors at the new No. engine
house was wholly without foundation
I'VE have been absolutely upon the
hest of terms" said President McMil-
len, "and reports to the contrary have
the effect of impairing the efficiency
of the Board by weakening the conf
dcnce the people ought to have in its
member.
"Thc Board has often been annoyed
by reports that the members were not
working in harmony with each other
These misstatements are invariably
given out for the purpose of grinding
somebody's axe or ministerlng to some
bodys grievance against us, and hope
that the newspapers viii give no fur
thcr notice to them. Nothing can do
a greater damage to the city's interests
than n policy of iDdiscrimlnatc abuse,
ridlcule or misrepresentation of its of
ticals."
Commissioned Houser concurred in
Mr.. McMillen's views. He said that
he had not been near the No. 3 engine
house with Mr.. McMillen last week,
and that reports to the contrary were
wholly without foundation.
"The present Board of Commission.

ton
For the Nomination
For Governor.
Nevertheless He Is Expected to
Win.

Especial Correspondence
Columbus, May G.-Colonel James
Kllbourne, undoubtedly the most pop
ular Democrat in Ohio, has hard
fight on his hands. That he will win
the Democratic nomination for the
Governorship his friends are s,ipremely
confident. They rely upon his clean
and honorable character, his unques.
toned ability and his good standing
with men of all parties in every sec
tlon of the State.
But his nomination will probably
be opposed by John Il. Mclean and
perhaps by Tom l.. Johnson, who, at
the present time arc believed TO favor
the candidacy of Hon. j. l.. thinner
man, of Springfield. 4 conference of
NuutIS III llllS CITY HAS
resulted in an agreement to prevent
the nomination OF Kilbourne. The
first move is 10 secure the holding of
the State convention elsewhere than
in Columbus, and, as the plans now
stand, 1t will be held in Cleveland,
July 24-25. Both johnson and Nc
Lean are extremely anxious to elect
Democratic Legislature and it may
be that, after more thorough canvass
of the situation, they will agree to
support Kilbourne, as the strongest
candidate for the Goyernorship. 1t
will be KilbourlIe against the field
and probably, when ii comes to an ac-
tual test, the greater part of the money
will be placed on Kilbournc.

ADDITIONS
To be Built to Old
Passenger Station.
Erie Will Increase Facilities For
Handling Freight.

Work of changing the old Erie pas.
senger station into II freight depot will
begin this week.
The side track just west of the build
ing Is to be removed, and two additions
built to the building-one along the
west side and the other on the north
side. 1t has been decided to raise the
first floor up TO II level with car plat
forms, so that freight may be handled
with greater ease. The first story will
be made into one room, thus giving
almost as much space as is contained
in the present Eric freight depot.
All incoming freight will he taken to
the present depot, and all outgoing
to the new building
