BOARD OF EDUCATION.
Members Bagin New Year With a
Good Meeting,
ROUTINE BUSINESS TRANSACTED.

The city school board met last night
for the first time this year.
Those present were President Hop
kins, Trustees Newman, sherwood.
Ward, Alger, Superintendent Stroup,
Clerk Hunt.
The usual reading of minutes and al
lowing of numerous miscellaneous bills
formed the major par of the business
of the meeting.
The board is more or less confused
on account of the manner in which
various bills incurred during the past
year are coming in. Some of them are
as old as July and thought to have
been paid and for that reason were
laid aside last night for investigation.
Some few bills presented last night
adopted at the last meeting, but on ac-
count of it being the first month after
the adoption of the requisition method
some were not. The subject was dis
cussed at length again last night and
1t was decided that in the future the
board would positively refuse to honor
any bill not accompanied by requlsi-
tion from either a member of the
board or Superintendent Stroup, and
merchants must abide by this rule or
else their bills will be rejected.
The notice of the city council to
build side walk north of the First
ward school was presented before the
board for consideration. President
Hopkins said that he had had no notice
that the council had demanded such
sidewalk building and as the school
board would be short of funds for the
running of the school 1t was not possi-
bic and hardly fair that the city coun-
ell should order such sidewalk building
without first consulting the financial
condition of the schools. The matter
was referred to a special committee of
President Hopkins, Trustees Ward and
Alger.
The school library report for the
past year showed that 2,050 books had
been let out and that the library treas
ury showed a balance on hand OF $40.
The question of Mrs. Roberts salary
as librarian during the two weeks of
vacation then arose. The regular sal
airy of librarian during school months
is $40 per month. The librarians sal
airy during the summer months of va
cation is s25 per month. The board
finally decided that $3.50 would be a
fair salary for the two holiday weeks.
Superintendent Stroup reported that
the reopening of the schools after the
holiday weeks showed the attendance
most gratifying.
The treasurer's report showed on
January /, 1903, a balance on hard of
$2,0S1.6S, which also was very crafty
ing. considering conditions existing a
month ago.

Prosperity in Chicago.

Chicago, ILL.,. Jan. 6.-Between $780,
100000 and $4O.OOO,0 900 will be paid out
by the Chicago banks this month in
the way of dividends and interest on
stocks and bonds and mortgages. In
banking circles the payment of the
money is known as the January dis
bursement, and 1t is expected to be
larger this month than ever before in
the history of the city. The year 1909
was such a good one commercially that
few corporations. private or public,
were obliged to default or defer pay
ment of their dividends.

Christmas at Russian Embassy.

Washington, Jan. 6. - This was

endar and at the Russian embassy the
holiday was observed in the customary
manner. The children connected with
the embassy had a royal good time,
while the grownups enjoyed a feast In

the advocates of the beet sugar inter
ests to couple the Cuban treaty with
the pending Philippine tariff bill was
deprecated.
The Indianola, Miss, postoffice case
was discussed and it was decided that
the stand taken by the administration
should be adhered to, the contention
being that the people themselves and
not the government are responsible for
the closing of the Office. Postmaster
General Payne had no new develop
ments to report.

Hot Fight Over Election Of
Senators In Delaware.
COSTLY PRESENT FOR the POPE
Prosperous Month for Dividend People
in City Of Chicago.
HOLDING STATEHOOD CONVENTION

Dover Del, Jan. 6.--The session Of
the Delaware legislature which opened
today bids fair to sustain the reputa-
tion of the Diamond State as politi-
cal hot-bed. Two United States sena-
tors are to be chosen. Strenuous eff
forts are being made to induce the war
ring elements to get together so that
the vacant seats allotted to the state
in the upper chamber of the national
congress may be filled. 1t is difficult
to forecast the result of these en-
deavors. A temporary combination for
the control of the Legislature may be
effected between two of the three fac
tions and the desired result attained.
Caucuses were held last evening and
plans for this course discussed. Many
of those well acquainted with the sit
uation, however, entertain slim hopes
that peaceful settlement will be
made of the squabble that has heaped
discredit on the state ever since ]. Ed
ward Addicks became possessed of q
devouring ambition to reach the Unit
ed States senate. The followers Of
Mr.. Addicks show no signs of waver-
ing, while the opposing element of the
republican party stands equally deter
mined to prevent his hand grasping
the toga. The democrats hold the bal
ance Of power, but the Addiaks faction
has nothing to hope from them. The
battle of the ballots will commence a
week hence and the result will be
awaited with interest among polite
ians throughout the country.
While the senatorial struggle tends
to overshadow all else there 10 con-
siderable business of Importance to re-
ceive attention at the hands of the
legislature this session. Chief among
the proposed measures is one to estab-
lish state sanitarium for consump-
tiyes. Proposals to provide additional
agricultural education and to aprropri-
ate money to the state board of agri-
culture for fighting diseases of trees.
plants and animals will also receive
attention.

formed themselves into war college

charges of crookedness in the matter
