American School Furniture Co. Will Sup
ply Furniture for New Building.
The Board of Education met in
special session at the City Hall Tues
day evening for the pur pose of making
arrangements for the purchase of the
furniture needed for the new Weiskopf
building. There was considerable
trouble securing quorum for the
meeting, and had the Chief of Police
been in easy call it is probable that he
would have been asked to escort some
of the members of the Board to the
meeting.
The contract for the desks for the
new Weiskopf school was given to
the American School Furniture COM
pany, of Chicago. The new desks will
cost between $500 and $500. The bids
for venetian blinds and teachers
desks were referred to the committee
on supplies with power to act. This
same committee was empowered to
purchase the supplies needed for the
High School labratory.
The teachers committee was not
ready to make any report on the new
teachers yet to be employed, but this
committee will meet on Thursday
evening and a report is promised for
the next meeting Of the Board.

RECENTLY the United States govern

people of mosquito plagued districts
how to cultivate the dragon fly, saying
that when it was plentiful the mos
quito had no chance for its life. 1t is
now in order for some public spirited
citizen to establish dragon fly in

would enjoy chance to get little

the buzzing little pests.

WHILE the visit to Kenosha of the
board of naval officers appointed to
select the site for the naval training
station was brief and but little time
was given to the local committee to
show the advantages of the various To-
cations available, the city is not yet
out of the race by any means. Ad-
miral Taylor, chairman of the board,
explained that the present trip of the
board was being made for the purpose
OF throwing out of consideration those
places which we're wholly unsuitable
and that more detailed investigation
of possible locations would be made
an September. The members of the
board were non-committa1 and very
guarded in their remarks, as was only
to be- expected, but they let it be
known that, while'it would of course
be expedient to locate the school near
one of the large centers of population,
for many reasons "the station should
not be jammed into a big city" Ke-
nosha's favorable location between
Chicago and Milwaukee, the great re-
cruiting centers for the naval service
ia the middle West, and the almost
perfect communication maintained be-
tween the cities should be strong
point in her favor when the time comes
for the board to make final decision.
The promise of the board to return in
September was also interpreted by the
local committee as favorable sign.

1 HOPE IN INJUNc1l0Ns I
IN MAINTAINING FREIGHT RATES
So Say Railroad Men-Nottces of
Changes Follow Judge
Grosscup's Order.

Chicago, April 15.-Nearly 800 notices Of
changes in freight rates have been filed
with the chairman of the Western Freight
association since Judge Grosscup issued
the. Injunction on March 26 restraining the
railroads from securing cutting rates,
paying rebates, discriminating in favor
OF certain shippers or in any way violating
the Interstate commerce act or antitrust
law.
Fully per cent of the changes in rates
have been reductions. No railroad has
made a new rate higher than in effect on
March 2e. Some lines have withdrawn
notices filed since that date of reductions
in rates. restoring the tariff in effect on
March 16.
Railroad men say that they can afford
to reduce tariffs II they are sure rates
will be maintained by all Of the roads.
They believe that the present system OF
injunctions promises better for the main
tenance OF rates than the efforts Of the
freight associations.

GEO. CAMPBELL MORGAN
HEARD BY MANY YESTERDAY
Evening Audience Filled Wesley
Church to Overlooking
Last Evening.

Rev. G. Campbell Morgan of the North
neapolis yesterday holiday he had set
aside for rest between his two mis-
sions at st. Paul and Duluth. The per-
sons composing the audiences at Wesley
church yesterday afternoon and evening
fairly hung on the speakers words. In
the evening the auditorium, Sunday school
and classrooms were filled as they have
not been for some time.
The famous evangelist has not visited
Minneapolis before. He is unique as
preacher. In appearance he is peculiar.
Tall, spare, with a narrow face and a
nose better built for glasses than spec
tacles, long neck ill-concea1ed by a
low turnover collar, big, expressive lips,
nostrls dilating and contracting with
emotion, wavy hair& touched with gray,
somber frock suit. Such is the tenement
In which lives G.. Campbell Morgan. AS
a speaker he Is almost Hebraic in his
gestures and shoulder shrugs. His enun-
citation is perfection. each < word in a
climax being delivered slowly and dis
tinctly, but with great fmpressiveness
and accompanied by p thrusting motion
of the arm, the9 forenngeri extended. In
the course of his addresses he covers
every part of his audience, appears to- see
eVeryOneJ ts1 gjs
In the, afternoon he. addressed partlc-
u1arly Christians and Bible students. His
text was ''Truly Our Fellowship Is With
the Father He divided the theme into
three heads: 'The word fellowship, the
fact of fellowship the practice of fel-
lowship. The speaker believed that many
words in the Bible suffered by transla-
| ton. Fellowship contained each of the
ideas in the numerous renderings. Such
words as "hallelujah,' "amen," into
which have been breathed great truths o.
revealed religion, should be retained ir
the original. Fellowship had been trans.
lated as comforter and as advocate. L
had both thoughts. A fellowship existed
between God and man, and each one
should develop his particular capacity fol
the good Oh the commonwealth. AS illus
trative of one meaning of fellowship Mr.

who will visit the spot and make an in
yestigGtion.
Tradition has told Of the spot for many
years. 1t is a mineral spring, about
which many skeletons of moose, deer and
caribou are lying, and fresh carcasses may
always be found. The recent discoverer
thinks the water must be poisonous, but
the Indian tradition contradicts this the
ory The water is. said to possess heal
ing virtues, which attract the animals
when they become sick. They drink Of
the water to be cured and linger about
until they either die Or get we'll. The
skeletons are of those which have not
recovered.
The spring has been visited before by
white men, one Of whom was Alfred Ten
nyson, nephew Of the poet. The party
was in search of silver mountain when
the Indians showed them the spring.
Mr.. Fullerton will get, samples OF the
water and have it analyzed, to discover
whether it is really harmful.

PRISONERS ARE SCARCE.
Floating Population Moving Out
Saloonmen Help, Too.

State Agent Gates has returned from a
tour of inspection of village lockups, and
reports fewer prisoners than at any time
for several years. The reason in his opin-
ion is that the floating population is Civ
ing way in most parts of the state to a
sober, frugal class. It is also a fact,
however, that saloon keepers do not en-
courage drunkenness as they did. They
realize that it is an injury to them, and
have quit selling to men after they be-
come intoxicated to degree. 70 s.
