Interesting Event at Seward School,

The students of the eighth grade, Sew

picture presentation with the seventh
grade pupils as their guests. The build
ing Is a large one of twenty-seven rooms:
and as most of the walls are bare, a pic
ture, promising to relieve one Of the va
cant spaces, was hailed by the school
with delight.
The teacher of s'B" room greeted the
guests and introduced Thoralf Wetteland
the happy winner Of the seventh and
eighth grade prize in the Journal Junior
contest Of Oct. ~. Master Thoralf made
a manly presentation speech, telling how
long and earnestly the class had worked:
that, although their purpose was the win
ming of a picture to grace their school,
the greatest benefit they derived was the
better. expression of their thoughts and a
greater development Of what ever literary
ability they possessed. Mr.. Hicks accepted
the picture in behalf of the board of edu-
cation. He said it was always pleasant
to be present on such occasions, but II
was a peculiar pleasure when the picture
was won by boy. Somehow the girls
carried off most Of the honors-four out of
five. Then he spoke directly to the
boys. urging them to work conscientious
ly. They would have to bear defeat often,
but it was not always good to succeed and
it was always good to strive. Above all
good record for character was to be-
made. No boy to-day succeeds to a DO
sit on Of trust without having to run tha
gauntlet of inquiries concerning charac-
ter. =,
That the pupils heartily appreciated the
remarks was shown by their close atten-
tion, their applause, and the spirit with
which they sang America" at the close Of
the program. --. r-g = Z.

EIGHT HEADS FALL
Police Force Reduced to Avoid a
Heavy Deficit.
TWO PROMOTIONS ANNOUNCED
Appear TO BE Secure for
Il While.

Eight members of the police department
We're dismissed by order of Mayor Ames
Saturday, and two promotions We're
made. Those whose heads fell We're as
follows
Sergeant LIE Roy Terrell. fifth precinct.
Patrolmen: liver Toilefson. second precinct;
Ed Hail.. third precinct; M. G.. Powers, third
precinct; T. Slette, third precinct; William
Burns, fourth precinct; Charles A. Foster,
fourth precinct; d. H. Derrick, mounted Of
ficer.
Promotions: George REVERE, patrolman
Nst precinct, to be sergeant; John d. Elk
strum, patrolman fifth precinct. to be SER
geant.
Mayor Ames, in letter to the super
intendent of police, explains that these
dlsmissals are necessary in order to keep
the expenses Of the police department for
the year within the appropriation. The
intention Of Mayor Ames to make this
reduction in the force was announced
some time ago when he declared that
there would be no deficit of his making.
At the council meeting last night, however,
Controller Rogers submitted q report OF
tbs finances Of the police department
which showed that it was running behind,
and this morning the mayor announced
the names of the men to be fired He
says, however, that his action had nothing
whatever to do with anything that may
Fifty patrolmen will secure advantage
Of the SIS month raise provided for all
officers at. the beginning of the second
year of their service. This will mean an
additional expense item in the police
department of $4,000 this year.
1t was somewhat of a surprise to po-
lice officers to learn of the retention Of
Captains KrumWiede and Fitchette in the
central station. During the past few
weeks, particularly since the return of
the mayor from West Baden and his an
nouncement of his determination to cut
down expenses, a rumor gained credence
that these two superfuous titles would be
nipped Off. The surprise is increased
WREN, in spite of the mayors avowed
reason for the decapitation to-day, it
is seen that not only are these officers
retained, but another sergeant is ap-
pointed in the central precinct This
makes the list of officers at central as
follows: Captains, three; lieutenants,
two; sergeants, five, as against the fol-
lowing for 1898: Captains, one; lieuten-
ants, one; sergeants, three. Never be-
fore has there been more than one cap
tain, at 500 month, at the central sta
ton.

HINT AT A CONSPIRACY
DEFENSE IN MEGAARDEN- CASE
T.. +. Sweet Questioned as to Having
Said He Would Scamp on
Megaarden's Trail"

Judge Steele opened for the defense in
the Megaarden case Friday afternoon.
He cid not outline what the defense was
to be. but Informed the jury what the
state must prove in order to secure the
conviction Of his client. ':First,' he
said, lit must show that a bill with false
charges was made, then that it was pre-
sented, then that it was presented to
board OF public officers, then that it was
presented by the sheriff, and lastly that
he had guilty knowledge that the bill was
false, and he must have knowingly pre-
sented it for the purpose of defrauding
the county,
When County Commissioner E. P. Sweet
was on the stand Judge Steele tried to
connect him with conspiracy to secure
the downfall of Sheriff Megaarden, Mr..
Sweets participation having been prompt
ed by his desire for revenge because the
Sheriff had refused to appoint Fourth
ward man as bookkeerer. Mr.. Sweet ad-
mitted that he had made request from
the sheriff during his first term, but not
during the second.

Potter, that you would camp on

WARRANTS FOR McGREGOR
At Last Charged With Violating
Wine R0ou Ordinance.

At Last Charged With Violating
Wine Room Ordinance.
J. J. McGregor the bridge square sa-
on-keeper, got jolt Saturday. War
rants are out for his arrest-one for vlo-
lation Of the wineroom ordinance and
other for keeping a disorderly house. The
matter came up in the municipal court
to day in connection with the trial Of the
Rogers woman arrested in McGregor's sa
loon, when Paterson from North Dakota
lost his watch. AS the evidence was in
sufficient to convict of the larceny she was
arraigned for vagrancy. The woman said
she was paid by McGregor to do the
cooking and as it could not be proved
that she was not SO employed, the vag
rancy charge was dismissed.
On suggestion of the court, Assistant
City Attorney White requested Lieuten-
ant Sinclair and Officer Rhodes to make
complaint against McGregor, based on the
character of his place. The former
brought a charge for the violation Of the
wineroom ordinance and the latter
charged McGregor with running a dis
orderly house. Mr.. Waite has for long
time been making every endeavor to get
the police to make complaint, but this is
the first case brought under the wine
room ordinance.

WAS TWO YEARS TOO YOUNG

LcuuOu SHEOulclG
Justice Jelfs father was a tutor at Oriei
in the old days when Newman, Whaiely Ar
mold and Keble ought to have made the talk
of the common room worth hearing, but ac-
cordng to Motley, did not succeed in so
doing. One morning. in 1896 Newman had Il
summons from DR.. Lloyd, Regius professor:
Dear Newman, step in. please. for a mo-
ment;' He did step in. How old are you?"
asked Lloyd Five and twenty" .'Get
away. don't want YOU" was all
the explanation rendered. But little
later he knew that Lloyd had been COM
mssioned to find a tutor, aged ~, for the
Duke Of Cumberland and that he had chosen
jeff, whose age fitted in with the stipulated
qualifications Some people think that many
things might have turned out very different
and become royal tutor. We might, in fact
have now Justice John Henry Newman Of

petition is being circulated asking that
a meeting be called to act on the follow
ing resolution:
That the proper officers be hereby authorized
at once to declare dividend of $50 percent
upon the paid up stock Of the association, pay
able 100 per cent in stock, and 80 per cent
In cash.
This would leave the clearing house
with $4,000 paid up capital and So, 900
surplus. Another provision seeks to
amend the rules so that each member
must pay for and hold ten shares Of stock,
and not more than twenty-five shares and
that any member Of the Chamber of Com
merce in good standing, may become a
member Of the clearing house by the pur-
chase of ten shares of stock.
Sentiment is much divided. Some of
the members claim the new move would
tend to throw the control of the clearing
house more into the hands of the few
influential members. A lively fight is
expected.
