ENFORCING THE LAW.
Measures Not Inspected Subjects
Owner to Severe Penalties


w. c. Haskell, the sealer of weights and
measures of the District. has renewed his
crusade against the hucksters and others
who are using measures Instruments
that have not first been inspected and
stamped by the sealer or his assistants be-
fore being used for the purpose of buying
or selling" The law is very plain on the
subject and the fines very severe.
The hucksters, it Is said, have recently
adopted certain sizes of buckets or other
measures, which are not according TO law
in size or measurement, and Mr.. Haskell
says if the purchaser of tomatoes and other
vegetables, particularly the former, would
only stop and sthink before making their
purchase they would find that they
paying about one-third more, or 30 or GO
cents peck for tomatoes, when they buy

he declares, should see that the scales and
measures used for weighing or measuring
their purchases have the seal of the ST a er
of weights and measures, a W." with the
they will themselves economize and will CO.
operate with the sealers office in its efforts
to break up this illegal use of buckets"
Mr.. George Howe, first assistant sealer,
on Saturday last seized and condemned
twenty-eight unlawful! measures, and yes
terday sixteen of these buckets were
seized because they were not lawful meas

cases. taking into consideration the pea of
ignorance of the law, which many of the
hucksterS made. 1t is the intention now,
however, to proceed in the Police Court
against all such offenders.

THE MUNICIPAL BUILDING
Conference Between Commissioners
and Secretary Shaw.

Commissioner mcfarland arranged this
morning for a meeting between the Com
missioners and the Secretary of the Treas
ury Thursday morning, the subject of
the new District building. This will be
the first formal conference 1t has been
delayed by the illness of Commissioner
Ross, however; it is hoped that Commits
sioner Biddle will be back by that time
The important questions which the Com
missioners and the Secretary of the Treas
ury must decide, and which will be con-
sidered at Thursdays conference are as to
the best method of securing the plans for
the building, and as to the lines upon
which those plans shall run. 1t is sup
posed that provision will be made for
competition of architects for plans on a
scheme to be formulated by the commits
sion in program with the aid of a pro-
fessfonal adviser, who may be the super
vising architect of the treasury. The super
wishing architect of the treasury will GER
tainly be consulted. The commission will
have to decide in the light of such pro-
fessional advice it may have, first,
whether it Will exercise the authority given
1t by the act of Congress to build over h
street UP to the triangular reservation on
pennsylvania avenue, or whether IL will
confine the building to the power house
square; second, what the general character
of the structure should be- including its
height and style of architecture and MA
terials to be employed. There are $1,000
square feet in the power house square
About 1oGOoo square feet of floor space
have been requested by the departments
and boards of the District government. This
amount, with some allowance for future
growth, might be provided by a six or
seven-story building on that site. The
data respecting the requests for space and
facilities in the new building will be laid
before the commission by Commissioner
Mcfarland, together with the views of
experts which he has been gathering in
formally, including the advice of Mr. Nc
Kim of the Senate park commission, Mr.
Bernard r. Green of the Congressional
Library and Mr.. Elliott Woods superin-
tendent of the Capitol building and
grounds, an of whom have responded with
interest. There is a very general desire
to aid in making the District building all
that it should be. The commission will
expedite the preparation OF the plans as
much as possible.

VIOLATION OF HEALTH LAW.
Court Will Deal Severely With Those
Ignoring Notices.

Judge Bundy took occasion in the Police
Court today to make some remarks concern
ing cases brought before the court in which
violations of the health Ordinances are
charged. During the heated term. the JUICE
said 1t Is important that these regulations
should be enforced. In all cases where per-
sons are notified to abate nuisances. the
judge said it viii be well for such persons
to comply. 1t was stated to be the intention
of the court to do all in its power to keep
the city In good antary condition and
with this end in view Judge Bundy will i'm
pose several penalties where the testimony
shows conclusively that the law has been
violated.

Safety of Children at Stake.

IF this occasion be passed over il will
be but a short time before the pond Will
claim another victim. The fact that Turner
was fugitive from arrest in no wise alters
the case. The offense for which he was
wanted was a small one, but even if he
were wanted on a charge of murder the
case against the owners of the pond under
goes change 1t seems to me that the
question, with all of these rapidly succeed
ing drownngs in the heart of the city,
which presents itself TO the people is: Will
this menace to life and public nuisance be
abated within reasonable time by such
process as may be found expedient or not;
and, if not why not?
Those of us who have young sons are
especially interested in the answer to this
important local question as regards the per-
sonal safety of our children, as we'll as of
the public at large. and We would like it
without unreasonable delay.
Another point against this pond is that
1t is not like the James Creek canal, quasi
public waterway which serves as the out
let of a large sewer, and also offers dock
ing facilities for such craft whose depth
will admit of entrance. The pond serves
no useful purpose whatever. In fact, the
only purpose it serves is the horrible one
Of being a sink-trap in which human be-
ings are drowned. 1t cannot be expected,
judging the present from the past, that it
will go without a struggle on the part of
some one in authority. and. 1t seems to me,
the quicker it is begun the better for the
city"

The readers of this paper will be pleased to learn that there is at least one dreaded disease that science has been able to cure in in all it's stages, and that is Ca tarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure known to to the medical fraternity. Ga tarrh being constitutional di- sease, requires a constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting di- rectly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disease, and giving the patient strength by building up the con stitution and assisting nature in doing it's work. The proprietors have so much faith in it's cura- tive powers that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send fo1 list of testimonials.

been treated to even greater ed- ucational opportunities than she has enjoyed.
 Owing to the absence of Hon. F. o. Butt from town his place was filled by Dr. H. L. Routh of Batavia whose reputation as a story teller and humorist is far and wide. His remarks furnished amusement for all.
 The Valedictory Oration by w. M. Smith came last. Mr. Smith s address was not prepared with mere reference to form and pleas ant expression. It came from the heart, which made it far more inn pressive upon his hearers. Itwas far above the ordinary valedictory effort. The speaker showed originality of thought and ex- pression, Smith possesses in a large degree some of the things that go to make up an orator.
 Briefly stated it may be said each member of the class did we'll. While they enot sent forth upon the world as graduates who are supposed to know it all, yet they have reached point in education that is attained by but small per cent of the people who comprise the population of our country, and we feel that each are to be sincerely congratulated and ad- monished that they are just now at the point where they can begin to realize what is meant by higher education. To do themselves justice they have many rounds to climb before the top of the ladder of. fame in an educational sense is reached.
 In a few appropriate remarks A. J. Russell, president of the school board, presented each member of the graduating class with a di ploma and the exercises were brought to a close by the pronouneing of the benediction by Eld. Sam Eaton.
 We do not feel it would be fair, however, to close report with out speaking of the splendid music which interspersed the speaking both evenings. Among those who were engaged in fur nishing music were Misses Ethel Walker, Cliffie and Amy Ramsey, Lora Smith, Flora Henry, Ruth Grim and the members of the High School and Grammar School Quartets.

HOOL HOUSE PROBLEM. i.
Special Act Authorizing Mort
 gazing of School Property.

THE TRIBUNE is pleased to note that the article in last weeks is- sue concerning a new school building for Green Forest suc- ceeded in awakening considerable interest upon the subject.
 Having advanced our own idea as to what would be the most feasible plan for the building of a new school house, our scribe started out Monday to interview as many citizens of the district upon the subject as could be seen easily and quite a number ex- pressed themselves freely; near ly all of whom, we are pleased to say, are in favor of a new build ing at any reasonable sacrifice; but we shall not now quote them directly for the reason so many are laboring under the apprehen- sion that the special act passed by the general assembly for the benefit of this district provides that bords may beissued to se- cure money for building pur- poses.
 The act, which we copy below, provides only for the mortgaging of the districts property to se- cure money with which to build. Unfortunately, the issuance of bonds is unconstitutional, conse- quently no act of the legislature could give us relief in this matter. When our people are informed upon this subject they will be better prepared to discuss the matter, and we shall not quote any one on the subject just now.
 Under the authority given the board of directors, by this special act, THE TRIBUNE desires to say that a strong effort has been made by the president of the school board to secure the loan of the desired money. Aside from writing several personal letters to interpretations calculat- ed to make such loans, an ad-
 vertisement setting forth the de- sires of our district was given to
 the St. Louis Globe-Democrat
 last summer but all efforts have
 been in vain.
 So far as the school board is concerned there are no further steps that it knows to take in this
 matter. It was thought, of course, that the special act would serve the desired purpose, but it seems
 not, unless some one who IS dis posed to loan the money ane
 take the school propertyalone as
 security may yet be found.
 While the system of taxatior would be really the only equita ble way of raising the money vet as we said last week, it cOul(
 be raised by donations, and were , even a majority of our property holders disposed to carry thei part of the burden, THE TRIBUNl : maintains that the subscription . is the quickest and perhaps th'
 only available means at the pres
 ent time.
 An easy solution of the mort
 gazing question would be for
 majority of the property owner : of the district school to go ol
 security bond to the compan.
 or individual furnishing the mon s ey. Then, in our judgment, : would not be a difficult job t I find some one who would accom- modate us in this matter. Sue v a bond would be evidence of goo, e faith on the part of the peopl . and would also guarantee tn voting of tax and setting asid : the money for the payment of tn : obligations as they become due r The people would certainl 0 st: nd by themselves and Sc, :. that the obligations of the dis
 trict are faithfully met. None
