SCHOOL NOTES.

Last Friday afternoon joint meet
ing of the Delphian and Athenian lit
erary societies were called for an ex-
ercise in parliamentary practice.
The Athenian society is composed of
the freshman and junior classes: the
Delphian of the sophom ores and sem
iors. The Athenians had planned to
present resolution to the joint meet
ing and try to secure it adoption; the
Delphians had prepared to adopt dill
atory tactics to prevent action before
the regular time for adjournment.
Supt. Stanton acted as chairman.
Immediately after the meeting was
called to order the following resolu-
tion was offered and it's adoption
moved and seconded: ''Resolved; that
the members of the senior class be
requested to appear at Chapel next
Monday morning in their graduating
gowns
The minority at once objected to the
consideration of the question, but
their objection WAS not sustained.
Then followed such diIatory tactics as
would make a Pettfgrew turn green
with envy; the majority at the same
time by motions to close debate, for
previous question, to fix tie time at
which vote should be taken, etc., etc.,
doing their utmost to force a vote on
the original question. The minority
being tenacious of their purpose to
prevent vote continued their policy
of obstruction until the hour for adj
journment arrived.
The contest has aroused a greater
interest in the rules of parliamentary
practice. A similar contest is being
| planned for the immediate future.

A few days since very gentlemanly
young man applied to Mayor Hogan
for work, and by him was referred to
Keller Manufacturing Company. He
said he had been living in Minneapo-
lis, but failing to find satisfactory
job had gone to Alexandria, and
finding nothing there had come to
Sank Centre. The following day
Tuesdays telephone message from
Alexandria asked if a young man an
swering to the description had been
here, stating that he had not alto
geGher strong mind-a victim of the
cocaine drug. He left Alexandria
without saying a word to his wife-a
worthy young woman. On Wednes-
day Chief of Police Robinson of Alex
andria was here and went to Bertha,
where he learned the young man had
gone. His name is Helwig and he will
be taken back and examined as to his
sanity.

Trun Down.

J. D. Kowalkowski of St. Cloud,
deputy oil inspector for this district
has been thrown down, and very hard
not by the incoming administration,
but by the outgoing. The Journal
Press gives this version of the cause:
The affable Third ward alderman
has ms pected the oil for St. Cloud,
Sank Centre and Paynesville, but
some months ago, or soon after the
election which in St. Cloud resulted
somewhat dlsastrously to the hopes OF
Gov. Lind, and would-be Con gress
man Henry Truelsen, he was notified
that the oil destined for Paynesvillc
would be inspected in Minneapolis by
Deputy Chief Barrows. On the date
before the change took place the story
goes KOw alkOwski went out to Paynes.
Vile and inspected car of oil. he
was advised from Minneapolis that he
would not receive any fees for his
service, but he presented his claim to
the Standard Oil people and they
honored it by paying it. Then rela'
tons, which had become taut became
positively strained, and some days
since the Stearus county politician
received notice that after January
he could consider his commission can
celled and that the oil consigned tc
Stearns county points would be in
spected at Minneapolis. The work
would be done by Deputy Barrows and
the fees would go to that worthy. Il
is susp cted in some quarters that thu
chief deputy would later divide with
his chief. There seems to be no re
lief from the orders of his superior
and the only satisfaction left the St
Cloud man in his ability to swear il
three languages.

A sleeper attached to the Great

tanned a party of fifty farmers living
in the neighborhood of Sank Centre

turn tonight. -Journal-Press.
While it is gratifying to note that
Mr.. ,How's enterprise is recognized
abroad, yet it is hardly fair to call hin

For David, after that he had served

tribute to her life and character, and
said he could never look down from

ing that she. had come direct from
communion with God.
Truly we all feel that Mrs. TAFT served
her own generation. There 10 nothing
to regret; when such life closes here
We hush our mourning and dry our
tears.
She is at rest
In Gods own presence blest,
Whom, when with US we loved to greet,
Her days are DER.
She counts her years no more.
Times football is not heard along the golden
street.
No stain is there
Upon the robes they wear
Within the gates of pearl, which she hath
passed.
Like woven light
All beautiful and bright,
Eternity upon those robes, no shades may

And they whose loving smile,
Had melted meath the touch of lonely woe
Shall reach her home
Beyond the star-lit dome,
Her anthem they shall swell, her joy they toe
shall know

A Beloved Friend Gone.

en- Thursday of last week, report
was circulated that Mrs. A. TAFT was
dead. Her friends here could not
believe it, as a similar report reached
US q year ago. But on Friday this
report was changef into q sad truth,
when a letter was received from Miss
Lizzie TAFT. She had been in good
health all winter, but was seized with
violent attack of la grippe on
December q and died on New Years
day, beginning her new year and
the new century in heaven. 1t is sell
dom that one is so universally loved
as WAS Mrs. TAFT, from the Oldest
friend to the little child, whose name
she did not know, her sweet ways won
all. Truly it can be said of her
"None knew her but to love he,,
None named her but to praise"
Her calm, beautiful christian life, in
the midst of her many ills and infirm-
tiles was q heavenly benediction to
all who came in contact with it. The
TAFT family lived in Sank Centre for
thirty years, for time living On their
farm three miles north of town, then
later as their children grew older
moving into town that they might
have the benefit of an education. The
family consisted of Mr.. aud Mrs. TAFT,
three sons and one daughter, all OF
whom merited and received the true
love and esteem Of all their friends.
Mr.. TAFT was "called home" good
many years ago. The children grew
to manhood and womanhood in our
midst, always giving to their gentle
little mother every care and attention
that human loYe was capable of. The
two Oldest sons in course of time were
obliged to seek employment else
where. The Oldest son William, mar
ried a daughter of VIM. T. Clark OF
ST. Cloud and removed to Duluth
where he has good business. his
brother Samuel being in partnership
with him. The mother with the re-
naming son Ezra, and the daughter
Elizabeth, lived here until about three
years ago, when they removed to Pom
ona, California, 'our severe winters
being too severe for Mrs. TAFT. Ezra
was always in good business, being a
first class timer and hardware man
and was one Of our prominent and re-
spected young men, while Elizabeth
was loved and trustr teacher in our
school; after her graduation. The
deepest regret was felt when this
family found it necessary to seek an.
other home and their going was a
public loss as they are of the kind
whose places cannot be filed.
/ We learn from the letter received
that Mrs. TAFT had won in her new
home the same place in the hearts of
i her new friends that she held here,
and is deeply mourned there as here.
Some of her old Sank Centre friends,
Mr.. and Mrs. Luther Tubbs, Mr.. and
Mrs. Winthrop Tubbs and Mr.. and
Mrs. Fred Woods were in attendance
at the funeral, which was a great COM
fort to the family. The funeral SER
vices were beautiful and impressive,

the adjusters have not arrived here.
We have laid 5, $50 feet of lose,

hours and 40 minutes of each mans
time for actual work. Total value of
property directly involved, s2S, 900, in
sured for Sl1 800.
Insurance paid was SO, 936.76. These
figures are as nearly corract as it is
possible for me to get, as some of our
local insurance agents do not think
that it is necessary for us to have cor
rect fgures. The losses would have
been much heavier had it not been for
the prompt and faithful work of the
department.
Our annual ball was the best that
has ever been given; not only socially,
but financially.
On behalf of the department., I wish
to thank the citizens, and especially
Messrs. Gallup, How and Brooks,
who have shown their appreciation of
our work in a liberal manner.
