of servicef (Rushton). Aldsrman Andes' son and Rosder. He said hs offered this
 substitute becAEse certaan esntbsmer at this late date have naanifested no much interest in this matter.
 This statement from Alderman 6untef brought Alderman Rushton to his feet. He declared that while he had Joiued' the Select Committee somewhat ne was serious about 1t. He meant no re0ection upon the committee but 1t was very important matter and he though It ought to De settled. He said he dld not think he should be asked to serve on another committee as he was now Nept puy with committee work and was probably a member of more important committees of the Council than any other Alderman. : Alderman Gunter insisted upon his sub stitute and assured the Council that ne would manifest as much interest Tn the matter on or off of the committee.
 At this point Alderman Rusnton se- cured the consent for the withdrawal or all pending questions and sent forward the following resolution which ne saad he Thought would solve the problem oy which the Council was confronted:
 s'Resolved, that the matter or the en- tire management of the Heron Suee. school building be referred to a Jolnt Committee on Schools and Public Works and that they be requested 10 repoIs full plans and specifications of same 10 the next regular meeting.
 1t was suggested that the commItee should have power to act but Aluermah Rushton said he objected to g1ving the committee any such power.
 The Rushton resolution was then uhan- tnoously adopted and the Council at 1'Ao O clock adjourned.

To Commence Work.

MT. B. H. Craig has purchased the buildings now on the lot at the corner of Dallas and Washington Streets. on which the public school building east of Broad Street will be erected. and will commence removing them from the premises this week. II. NJ. Johnson. the contractor. for the First Baptist Church, has been awarded the contract to build the new public school building. and he will com mence the excavations for the foundation as soon as the present brick residence is removed
 The new public school building will cost between $1S.000 and $19.000 including the lot. and will be an ornament to that part of the city where 1t is located. The con tract calls. for the building to be com pleted by September l, but it is hardly thought that the building can be erected in that time. It Is confidently expected that 1t will be finished bv October in time for the fall session of. the city schools. This school bsiiding has been badly needed for a long time and thu patrons of the public schools east of Broad Street are greatly rejoiced that matters are in such shape that work will commence on the school edifice at an early date.

He was a friendless newsboy selling papers on the streets of New York when rescued by the Children's Aid Society and sent west with a group of boys similarly sit- uated, among whom was John G. Brady. now Governor of Alaska. A home was found on an Indiana farm for young Burke, and he labored industriously until the outbreak of the civil war; when he entered an Indiana regiment as drummer boy. After the war he served in menial capacity in bank at Fargo, N. D., and eventually became President of the bank. In 1891 he was elected Governor of North Dakota and after serving one term, was re-nominated without oppos ition. Gov ernor Burke is now an Inspector of United States Land Offlces. and is in this city in that official capacity. I
