Three fine donations to the Pub

Miss Emma Coombs presented the
most valuable one. This was d fine

building and used by the children.
This gilt is one that is highly APP

the pleasure and benefit derived BY
the pupils from the institution.
Miss Coomhs has always taken
great interest in the public schools

Mr.. e. b. Stewart has added a
very valuable edition Of Thaekery to
the library which is growing very
rapidly. The library has received
several donations recently and has
been enlarged by purchases made
by the authorities. Nothing will do
the pupils more good than to have
a fine library at their disposal at all
times.
Mr. ID. G. Hoffman another friend
has presented it with beautiful
large engraving OF the Battle OF
Gettysburg. This will be particu
larlv valuable to the pupils in histo-
ry. 1t will adorn the building where
1t has been installed.
The school board will meet on
Tuesday night and will transact
considerable business. Among 9th.

next year. 1t is not thought likely
that they will elect the staff OF teach

During this week the state cduca-

WHEELING, July 1.-The Western
Association season in Wheeling was
opened Saturday with Marion. Ken
ma the West Virginia star twirler, a
son of the late United States Senator
John Z. Kenna Of this state, made
his debut with the StogIes, and he
was the hero Of the game. He was as
cool as an old timer, especially in the
eighth inning, which was a crucial
test, with three men on bases. The
delegation of university rooters went
wild over his pitching. Only In the
eighth did the glass workers get within
hailing distance OF the plate. The
score was four to nothing In favor or

ALL FOR PARTY HARMONY.

The Laybourn resolution censuring the
authors of the blanket bribery charges
will not be pressed for the sake of party
harmony On the same principle social
misdemeanors should not be punished or
rebuked for the sake of social harmony.
slanderer must not be censured because
such proceedings disturb the harmony of
the social relations.
We have no doubt that a resolution of
censure if pressed would have engendered
bitter feelings and would, no doubt, have
developed facts which would have placed
some gentlemen outside the party wall.
But is not the personal honor of the
members and the reputation of the state
of more Importance than party harmony ?
Is the future success of the Republican
machine so essential that members will
submit to being stigmatized as
bribe-receivers in open session and
when upon investigation the charge
is found to be false, will allow
the defamers of the house to
go unrehuked? To the outsider, this
lamb-like submission to the dictates of
the Republican machine in matter where
the integrity of the whole legislature is
concerned indicates moral turpitude
that might render the Jacobson charges
very probable.
This is not a Democratic funeral. If
the Republican majority wishes to leave
the corpse unburied the Globe has no re-
marks to make as to the character Of the
deceased. The funeral Grafton will be
pronounced sometime during the fall of
1902.

plot was laid with the utmost secrecy, a
ladder was obtained and raised to a
window of the ''dall of Venus" five
young ladies were descending to the arms
of the other five when--here comes in
the new fad-the president opened fire
on the young men with shotgun. The
five young ladies shrieked, as was their
duty, and scampered up the ladder. The
young men returned the shotgun fire
with their revolvers, perfectly proper in
Kentucky. No one was hurt, also per-
fectly proper. The next day five young
men were indicted for assault with a
deadly weapon upon the president of
Potter college, and the five young wom-
en- were sent home in disgrace. Now is
not that a queer way to conduct an edu-
cational institution? In any other state

five young ladies supper and good

lowed to enjoy for many moons? In any

jury indict five young men for returning
the compliment when fired upon with
a shotgun? In any other state but Ken
lucky would five young ladies scamper
up a ladder-while-but let us draw the
curtain lest we become too realistic. The
whole proceeding was most irregular,
and the man who is responsible for the
irregularity is that fellow who poses as

ATTORNEY GENERAL THINKS MU-

An opinion has just been rendered by
Attorney General Douglas which will be
Of interest to all national guard men
III the state and also to those cities which
are contemplating new arInories.
The city of Owatonna some time age
was asked by Company 1, of the Second
infantry, to make small appropriation
in aid of the construction and mainte-
nance of an armory there. This was
under the provisions of chapter 81 of the
General Laws of 1901, entitled. AN act
to provide suitable armories for the COM
panies of the national guard"
The people of Owatonna and the coun-
ell of that city were disposed to aid in
the construction of an armory, but We're
in doubt as to whether they had the
power or not. City Attorney c. ]. OBrien
submitted the matter to the attorney
general, who rendered an opinion in
which he summed up as follows:

CoMo PARK CONCERTS.

Some years ago the custom prevailed
public parks. One day in each week dur
ing the summer season there was usu-
ally a concert held at one or other of the
city parks. How highly the general pub
lie appreciated this display of Official
thoughtfulness and good taste was at
tested each day by the great number Of
people who came to enjoy the music.
People from the farthest extremes Of the
city attended and showed their keen en-
joyment of the occasion.
Things have changed somewhat since
then, and it has not always been con-
venient since to repeat the experiment.
The public desire for such exhibitions
has in no degree abated as might
be seen at any time by the splendid at
tendance of the people at the concerts
given on special occasions at Como park
The resolution of the board of park
commissioners to have public concerts
held practically every day during the
season at Como park will be received
with general qualification. Como has
always held its ascendaney among the
local pleasure grounds. There the peo-
pie assemble on Sundays and holidays
in greater numbers than elsewhere among
the innumerable popular resorts in the
city. They are attracted by the sur
passing natural loneliness of the spct
and by the laudable efforts put forward
by the park board to increase that love-
Illness by artistic horticultural and land
scape work
The establishment of daily concerts at
Como will prove the greatest additional
popular attraction Given each evening
from their homes Those who seldom if
ever appear in public places will be dis
tinguished by their attendance Women
and children will attend without number
and the uses of such public pleasure
grounds will be made manifest in much
more decisive manner than without the
added attractions.
What the arrangements of the board
with the street car corporation may be
the public do not much care They are
conscious that that body will make or
has made the best arrangements that can
be had. They appreciate the good Will
and devotion to the public enjoyment
which is involved in the arrangement
and they are sure to show their appre-
citation in the only manner at their dis
possibly their fully awaiting themselves
of the added opportunities of enjoyment
which are furnished.
In the progress of the science of NUM-
cipal government much more thought is
being bestowed on such undertakings as
this than ever i'll the past. 1t is being
more and more regarded as within the
functions of local administrators to make
provision not only for the health and
social and financial well-being of the
community they administer, but to pro-
mote in every legitimate way the enjoy,
ment of the masses through the public
agencies which are available for such
enjoyment.
The park board has done most meri-
torious and commemorate thing i'll the
provision which it has made for local
park concerts.

FILLING UP THE NORTHWEST

The drought last summer has had no
effect in checking the rush of immigrants
into the Northwest. The experience of
twenty years ago will be repeated dur
ing the next two years. 1t was the great
trek of the. early eighties which made
statehood for the DaHotas possible and
built the Twin Cities. The greater trek
that is just now in progress will make
states in fact as well as in name of our
Northwestern sisters and will swell the
population of the Twin Cities during the
next decade to 100000 Is this extrava-
giant? Not when the conditions are care
fully examined. The improvements in
transportation always tend to benefit the
larger cities at the expense of the rural
towns. Following the biblical theory that
to him that hath shall be given and from
him that hath not, even that which he
hath shall be taken away, all modern
conveniences tend to increase the popula-
ton of the cities by attracting the rural
folk. Cheap fares on railroads bring the
country people to the city to do their
trading because of the greater variety
from which to select The trust combina
tions draw all manufacturing to the cities
because of the impossibility of competi-
ton by small capitalists in the villages.
The trade of this rapidly growing West
and Northwest will flow as readily to
ST. Paul and Minneapolis as that OF
Illinois, Iowa and Southern Wisconsin
flows to Chicago. The lack of railroad
facilities in this Northwest twenty years
ago was in favor of the rural villages as
against the larger cities. Those villages
will remain at standstil under pres
ent conditions. while the trade of the rap
idly swelling population will go to build
up great centers.
- This rapid immigration Will have TEN
dency 10 loosen up a large amount of
