Post, arrived in the city yesterday morn
Ing on business trip. and remained at
the Planters Hotel the greater part of the
kohlsaat was a director In the Worlds 3
Ear In Chicago In 1893. and spoke yester-
cay on the experiences derived from that
exposition.
The question of Sunday closing, he said.
Wnich was the most vexatious that had
cropped up. was fought both along the lines
OF religion. many persons objecting to the
gates remaining open on the Sabbath and
also from the standpoint of the working
people, who thought at first that the fair
should remain open on Sunday to give them
an opportunity to attend.
experience proved, said Mr.. Kohisaat,
that keeping the fair open on Sunday was
improbable. The man who Ind worked all
week did not care to walk around all day
looking at exhibits while the Thermometer
was in the upper stages, and the attend
ance declined In consequence, until there
We're not enough gate receipts to pay the
running expenses
Keeping the fair open under these condi-
tions was both a great hardship on the en-
ployes Of the fair and a loss to the pro-
moters Mr. Koblsaat spoke in favor Of a
Saturday half-holiday. which enabled the
worker to attend in the afternoon There
were invariably large crowds on Saturday,
he said, during the entire season in Chi
cago. Mr. Kohlsaat Indicated that the mat.
ter should be left in the hands of the d.
rectors- The problem would then work itself
)ut, he said.
He concluded by stating that the people
II Illinois. and Governor Yates In particu-
ar, were much interested in the Fair. and
hat large appropriation from the Illinois
legislature was likely.

CABINET MEETING YESTERDAY.
Discussed Dispatch From Lord
Pauncefote in Regard to Prob
able Attitude of United
States Toward Demands.
CABINET MEETING YESTERDAY.

London, Feb .2-In spite of the great Sc
cecy with which. as is usual. the delibera-
tions OF the Cabinet are guarded. the Asso-
cisted Press is able to assert that enc Of
the subjects under discussion at to-day's
meeting was a dispatch from Lord Paunce-
fote. which. It is understood. dealt with the
probable attitude of the United States to-
ward Great Britains counter proposals in
the Nicaragua matter.
Inquiries in official quarters as to whether
the Nicaragua or China questions were
even mentioned meet with the inevitable
noncanmittal answer that all the proceed
ings of the Cabinet are carried on with the
strictest privacy. and that ii IS impossible
to admit the truth or fals;ty of supposi,ions
regarding even the general nature of affairs
discussed.
As the osiicial action resulting from to-
days action has not yet had time to take
definite shape, it is impossible to say what
conclusions were reached United States
Ambassador Choate will probably be sum-
moncd to the Foreign Office next Monday.
when Lord Lansdowne is likely to commu-
nicste 70 him the British views regarding
the Nicaragua and China controversies.
Great Eritain's Attitude Firm.
No expectation need be entertained that
this interview will settle one way or the
other the Nicaragua Canal difficulty.
Great Britain has no intention of ratify-
Ing the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in the form
desired by the Senate unless her counter
proposals are agreed to within the short
time which remains before that treaty
iapsee, and this is recognized to be almost
impossible
Further Information was desired from
Lord Paurcefcte- and. at the request of
Lord Lansdowne. he sent the dispatch which
was discussed to-day There is no reason to
believe that II has affected the decision,
preyiouuiy announced by the Associated
Press, that the British Government has de-
ciGed not to give in TO the demands OF the
Senate without quid pro quo

They who fancy We are going to get

AN ULTIMATUM.
Board of Control Has Served One on the
NOrmal Board

The state board of control has re-
jected the proposition of compromise
which was made by the normal board
at their conference Saturday. A letter
was mailed Tuesday to President A.
7. Ankeny of the normal board, stat
ing that the resident members of the
board could not act as purchasing
agents of the board of control on any
terms. 1t is said the letter intimated
that the board of control would waste
no more time with the normal board
This is a sort of an ultimatum and
makes it necessary for the normal
board to either surrender entirely or
else appeal to the courts. The reason
the board of control objects to mem
bers of the normal board acting as pur-
chasing agents is that the law con-
templates the entire separation of the
financial from educational affairs, and
IT normal proposition was accepted it
would serve as connecting link.

purchasing agent is the confidential
representative of the board and that
under strained relations which have
existed, would not cause matters to
run smoothly or promote the best in
terests of the schools.
"You can say for me-" said W. E.
Lee of the board of control, "that if
the normal board insists upon the
board of control appointing as it's per-
sonal representative such a man as
Resident Director Phelps, who has SO
bitterly attacked the board of control,
I for one am though with them.
What action the normal board will
now take is a matter Of conjecture

circumstances, and if it took posses
sion it would be notice to the world
that the city claims possession.
Aid. Heinze moved that the library
board be authorized to take possessi on
of the library site and make such
changes as it desires. This was car
ried unanimously.
A profile of the alley in block
twenty, Warren's addition, presented
by City Engineer Thompson, was
adopted.
A profile of the sidewalk grade of the
westerly side of Broad street from
Jackson to Cherry was adopted.
The board of public works was di-
rected to put in cross walk across
Front street on the south side OF
Liberty.
The street committee reported that
it had found that it would be too ex-
pensive to open Liberty street from
Front to ga" streets and could not
favor it. The report was adopted.
The committee on fire department
recommended that number of Smith
key guards for use in fire alarm boxes
be purchased, and also that 500 feet of
cotton hose be purchased. Chief
Beach was authorized to make the
purchases. The same kind of hose as
now on hand will be bought.
On motion of Aid. Deebach, the
council voted to buy a new flag for
the city hall.
Aid. Deebach brought up the matter
of the way the city is being lighted,
and said that he thought that the con-
tract ought to be cancelled.
Aid. Heinze said that he thought the
remarks of Aid. Deebach justified.
There are numerous complaints, es-
pecially in the outskirts of the city.
He understood that the machinery is
too light for the work. The city
should not suffer because of this.
Aid. Wilcox said that the lights in
his part of the city have not been
turned on until 8 80 p. m. for the past
ten days. 1t looked as though the
machinery is too light and only part of
the city is being lighted at time.
Chief Bowen reported eight arrests
and twelve dodgers during September.
A long list of lights out was read.
Several bills were read and the
council adjourned

ENTERED INTO REST.
Charles Soaring Lays Down the Burdens
of Life.

Charles Soaring died at his home
in Decoria township shortly before
7 O'Clock Wednesday morning of heart
trouble, complicated with enlargement
of the liver He had been ill for sew
eral weeks, sinking gradually, and his
death was not unexpected. He was
conscious to the last.
Mr.. Soaring was born in New York
state and was sixty-four years of age.
When a young man, his family moved
to.Vernon county, Wis, where they
were pioneers. .He--was the only sur
viving brother the late President
Edward Soaring, who died -three@years
ago this month, and when the latter
was state superintendent of public in
struction of Wisconsin, Charles held a
position in his ONCE at. Madison:
Subsequently the--sSdeceased locaIed at
La Porte City, Iowa, = where he was
proprietor of a. bank for several years:
He: was married. there, : and: some
zz-y
county, settling on farm in Decoria,
where he had since resided.
The deceased is survived by his wife
and three daughters, Rachel, Enid and
Helen. He was we'll read, kept abreast
with the times, and was in quiet
way deeply interested in the welfare
and progress of the country and state.
He took great pride in his family,
was active and industrious, and al
though not very robust, did not shirk
the hard work incident to farm life.
He held the respect and good will of
all who knew him, and the sympathy
of these will be extended to the be-
reaved wife and daughters.
The funeral services was held at the
the house in Decoria Friday after
noon.
