Manual Training School Won't Be
Built This Year.

The board Of education will do no
building this year, but the question of
a new manual training high school will
probably come before the board in time
to allow of some preparation in that
direction soon.
Out of the taxes for 1901 the board
borrowed $4,000 of the general fund to
be used in the building fund for the
erection of the Sumner and Lowman
Hill schools, and that money will have
to be paid from the 1902 building fund
back into the general fund. which will
leave the board only about $4,000. 1t
is probable that the board will continue
the mill building levy for three or four
years to complete the buildings and re-
pairs necessary. The Potwin school
building is crowded and the board may
consider the advisability of moving the
Nickel Plate school to Auburndale for
the younger school children and to re-
lieVe Potwin school. When the Sumner
school is opened all the pupils now go
ing to the Nickel Plate school will go
there, and the crowded conditions at
Harrison and Clay schools will be re-
lieVed.

Andrew Lang joins the long list of
critics of Rudyard Kipling's poem, THE
Islanders" with a scathing denuncia-
ton of the authors personality. Mr..
Lang takes the character in "Stalky
and Company" generally supposed to
be Kipling himself, holds him up to de-
rision for his 'unathletic brutality" and
concludes:
THE Americans VIGOROUSLY excel in
many games, like the Australians. Sure

about the games and the rubbish writ

lines.

agency in Minneapolis informing him
that the county attorney of that place
refused to issue q warrant for J. Q.
Dorsey, the man arrested by Pavey sew
eral days ago for embezzlement and
bigamy Pavey muttered something
about the distant officials, and took

short time Mr.. Dorsey and his devoted
wife, who insisted on sharing MS cell

When Pavey told them that the prisoner
was to be released, he jumped up and
kissed his wife, and she was in the act
of kissing Pavey when her unreasonable
husband stopped her. The pair made a
hasty departure from the city. Dorsey's

NO DIVORCE GRANTED.
An Inter esting Scramble but Both
Lose

There was a. race this morning at the
court house between two aged colored
people over a divorce. The race ended
in dead heat.
George Mcdonald, an old colored man,
wanted a divorce from his wife, Clara
Mcdonald, on the ground of cruelty.
Mcdonald and his attorney wished to
secure the divorce quietly before his
wife appeared to contest it. Mcdonald
made a run for the court house with
his lawyer. So did Mrs. Mcdonald. The
husband got there first. He and his
attorney rushed to the court room but
Judge Hazen was not there. Mrs. Nc
Donald finished at the threshold of the
court room door a close second but
found no court The case was post
poned.
