Several members of the board of
education have expressed themselves
as being in favor of putting before the
people at the fall election the PROPOSE
toin to vote bonds for building new
school edifice or two, and repairing old
ones. Under the present valuations in
this city, there is not enough money
raised for the board to pay expenses,
and something must be done. 1t is
thought that an issue of $50, 900 will
be sufficient. The board, on vote of
the people, may issue as much as
500, 900 worth of bonds under the
new charter.

pugilist of this city, who has come in
to public notice by standing off Jeff.

week ago, tonight signed a contract
with Clark Ball to be his manager.
Munroe has been receiving flattering

tract Ball takes Munroe from five to

THE MAGIC CHRISTMAS TREE.
Old Santa Claus Shows Himself to Be
an Adept at Legerdemaln.

Santa Claus made his customary
visit to Lewistown last Wednesday
night and no measure has ever vet
been discovered by which the happi-
ness which his visit inspired may be
estimated. At each of the three
churches, he appeared In person, and
distributed, with lavish hand. his
presents among old and young alike.
One OF the most beautiful trees ever
seen in Lewistown was the one at the
Presbyterian church. Several trees
were arranged in a circle and their
unadorned outward appearance gave
some cause for apprehension among
the children that Old Sanity had made
a mistake and failed to put on his
usual quota of good things. When the
perennial good natured old gentle.
man appeared he. too, manifested his
displeasure at the apparent negli-
gence Of his subordinates, but de-
cided to try the effects of magic.
With one or two gestures of his all
powerful wand. the circle OF trees
parted and slowly swung back re-
vealing their other side. Another mo-
tion of his hand and glory OF light
burst forth from the branches of the
trees, revealing all things dear to the
hearts of childhood, and the dear. old
soul lost no time in distributing, his
gifts among the eager little ones and
the scarcely less expectant older
ones. Santys raindeer we're not
