OUR NEW HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
The Necessary Funds for its Erection Should
be Forth COMING.

Since the last session Of the School
Board when it was decided by that
body that $55. 900 should be borrowed
from the State instead of $40, 900 there
has been some opposition to this in
creased loan. We admit it's a large
amount of money to raise at this time
when We are making so many other
necessary Improvements in our city.
The circumstances are such that it
cannot be helped. We need this build
ing, it's dimensions are not too large
If we continue to grow as we have the
past two years we will be obliged to
erect another school building before
five more years roll around. We con-
not be too niggardly in matters of
education. We need convenient, rOOmy
and sanitary buildings, equipped with
all the modern scientific apparatus
for the proper education of oar child
ren. The School Board does rot in
tend that any part of the principle
shall be paid until 1912, but simply the
interest. The committee on Buildings
and Grounds have worked faithfully
and we'll to accomplish what they
have and too much expense has been
incurred to reCant and start over
The only thing to do is for the common
council to approve Of the loan that
its construction may not be delayed
any longer than necessary. AS now
planned, if completed Grand Rapids
will have one of the finest and best
arranged school buildings in the state.
Members Of the common council
approve Of it unanimously and you
will never regret it.

LY0N-GARDlNER NUPTIALS.
Rueben Lyons and Miss Sarah Eva Gardiner
Joined in Holy WedIock Saturday.

The old Lyon homestead situated
on the west bank of the Wisconsin
river was the scene of a happy we'd
ding Saturday morning, April %, when
Rueben, the third son of Mrs. Esther
Lyons, was united in holy wedlock to
Miss Sarah Eva Gardiner, of Stevens
Point. Rev. ". a. Peterson, pastor
of the NJ. g. church officiated. Only
immediate relatives and few friends
were present to witness the ceremony.
Russell Lyon of WauSau, a brother of
the groom acted as grOOmsman, and
Miss Florence Gardiner. of Stevens
Point, a sister Of the bride. acted as
bridesmaid. The house and table
decorations were fine and everything
passed off nicely.
A wedding breakfast was served
after which the young people departed
for Seattle, Washington. via of
Chicago & Northwestern line They
intend to stop in Chicago, OmahO,
Denver and Salt Lake City.
The groom is well known in Grand
Rapids as he was born and reared
here For the past four years he has
been in Alaska where he still has
mining interests and may go back
there, but not with a view of per-
manently residing there. Miss
Gardiner is an estimable young lady
possessing many accomplishments
that will specially lit her as the wife
of Mr.. Lyon whom she has known for
many years. We join with their
many friends in congratulations.

They Remember the Eighty-Third Anniversary
With an Entertainment and BANQUET.

The Odd Fellows Of this city and
their friends celebrated the eighty
third anniversary of the organization
of the order in America last Saturday
evening at the Masonic hall. The

literary and musical selections. and
large number of stereopticOn slides,
illustrating mainly the Odd Fellow
and RebecCa lodges. The second part
was banquet spread in the Odd
Fellow hall, and here all who took
part did themselves justice. The
Rebeccas. who had charge Of the
supper. certainly lived up to their
well-known ability of serving their
guests royalty.
The enthusiasm and good will shown
by all at the gathering is only another
proof of the benefit and value Of Odd
Fellowship to the members and the
country in general. Following was the

J. D. Witter Free Travelling Libraries.

Fifteen Of the }. d. Witter free
travelling libraries were first sent out
in September 1896. Fifteen more
made their first trips early in 1897.
Most of these libraries are now scatter
ed Through the country but will be
returned soon with the records of the
circulation for the past winter.
The thirty-tWO libraries maintained
by Mr.. Witter have made 154 trips.
The recorded circulation for little
less than five years was 15O10 while for
six trips the records were not returned.
Estimating the circulation for these
trips at 100 for each, some what less
than the average, the total circulation
was 15610. AS libraries estimate that
a book loaned from d travelling library
in a rural station is read on an average
by two persons before its return, this
circulation means that the books
were read more than 10000 times in
less than five years by persons who are
remote from public libraries.
AS rule the libraries have been
we'll cared for and are in condition to
be Of service for number of years
more. F. A. Hutchins

!. R. CHAPMAN TO LEAVE GRAND RAPIDS

We were surprised as well as disap-
pointed when we learned from j. r.

to leave Grand Rapids and was going
to move to Oshkosh where he had
purchased the largest stock of jewelrg
in that city. He expects to reduce
his stock here and then sell the
balance to young man who is deSir-
Gus of going into business here. He
went to Oshkosh Tuesday to take
possession Of the stock and make the

sale his house and lots and jewelry
stock. His friends are sorry to see
him and his eStimable family leave our
midst for such losses are not easily
substituted. What is Grand Rapids
loss will prove to be OShkOsh's gain.
While they dislike to leave Grand
Rapids where they have enjoyed
excellent success, Mr.. Chapman feels
that the present business opening in
Oshkosh promises greater returns.
We join with their many friends in
wishing them we'll in their new home.

1t seems that the much-talked of
power canal from the Niagara River
at La Sale to Lockport will probably
be dug The necessary charter was
secured in 1894 by the Niagara, Lock
port and Ontario Power Company.
The estimated cost Of the hydraulic
canal is $6,00O,O00. It's total length
will be II miles. At LockpOrt there
is a 240-fO0t fall, and 100 feet more
to Lake Ontario, II miles. so that
power can be developed all the way to

The Cost of Ammunition at Manila and San.
tiago.

Sc1entltlc American.
An echo of the thrilling days Of the
Spanish war has recently been heard
in a most interesting return made by
Rear-Admiral O'Neil, Chief of the
Bureau Of Ordnance, .. S, n, in
which he gives the total cost Of am
munitiOn in the decisive battles of
Manila and Santiago. At Manila Bay
the ships under Admiral Dewey fired
at the Spanish ships and batteries at
Cavite. $50, 045 worth of ammunition,
a remarkably low figure if we consider
the mOmentOuS effect which that con-
tlict had upon the operations of the
war at large, and the fact that it was
mainly instrumental in bringing the
valuable Philippine Islands within
United States control. At the battle
Of Santiago, the main batteries of
the United States vessels fired l.300
shots, and the secondary batteries
S,174 shots: the cost Of the ammunition
being about $4,000 The total cost of
powder and projectiles Of the naval
operations in the Spanish war was
only $175.00G. AS we showed in a
recent article IN the Scientific Ameri-
can, the gunnery practice Of the
North Atlantic Squadron costs con-
Siderably more in a year than the
whole cost of ammunition expended
in either of the important battles of
the campaign, and herein is clear
evidence of the great Importance at
tached TO good gunnery in the United
States Navy.

The CITY authorities should provide
Il place in some suitable part of the
city where residents could haul and
dispose of all kinds Of refuse in the
shape of old tins. old broken dishes,
glass. barrels, etc. We've noticed,
while driving on the outskirts of the
city on most of the roads leading into
the country. where parties have
dumped old refuse aside of the road.
hoping thereby to rid themselves of
their old rubbish. This ought not
to be allowed, and the city should
provide public place, which we
believe would prevent this practice.
