voters, as the fund standing to the
credit of the county in the State
treasury was not available for the
purpose stated, and deplored the
high tax rate in the following
resolution:
That while it deplores the necessity for
the high tax rate for the current year in
our county, it would call the attention of
the taxpayers and voters to the conditions
which required such tax rate and are the
result of mismanagement of our finances
and consequent deficits left by previous
democratic administrations, aud it most
emphatically asserts that the records aud
vouchers now on file in the Office of the
County Commissioners OF this county,
conclusively establish the truth of the
foregoing statement and it challenges the

ARRESTED FOR DISORDERLY
CONDUCT.

Constable Brickley on Monday
evening arrested Henry Greenfield
and William Greenfield of neal
Cecil Paper Mill, on warrants sworn
out by Magistrate Taylor, for
drunkenness and disorderly con-
duct. The two Greenfelds spent
a night in the town lookup and
were given a hearing Tuesday
morning when Henry was fined $40
and costs and William 81 and costs.
They promptly paid their fines and
were released.
Tuesday evening Amos McCum
mings, of near Sylmar, was arrest.
ed on the same charges and COM
mitted to Elkton Jail in default OF
a fine of $40 and costs, being placed
in the lookup for safe keeping.
Friends appeared later in the eve
ming with the necessary funds and
secured his release.
On Thursday morning Barclay
Cooper, of the "Ridge," was before
the Magistrate for drunkenness
and disorderly conduct, and after
a fine of one dollar and costs, which
he paid, was released.
Jesse P. Mace was also rounded
up when he had sufficiently re-
covered from the effects of this
weeks jag and given a dose of the
law.
For months past a certain ele
ment has been making itself con-
spicuOus on our streets, after first
visiting the "wet' precincts across
the line and elsewhere for "jag,"
by parading the town, defying the
bailiff and indulging in vile pro-
family whenever and wherever in
terfered with. The limit was
reached Monday when certain of
these parties, after fortifying them
selves with an over-plus of the
ardent, attempted to dictate to
Magistrate Taylor in his office, who
promptly elected them and swore
out State warrants for their arrest.
1t is high time these rowdies, who
have no respect for themselves or
anyone else, and are utterly devoid
of every sense of common decency,
should be given term in Jail and
a heavy fine, which will instill into
their added pates some fear, if not
respect, for the law, and prove TO
them the authorities are in earnest
in their determination to break up
the drunken carousals which have
become such frequent occurrence
on our streets among these foul
,mouthed candidates for terms of
penal servitnde.

of the accident she was alone IN the
house with her mother who Is 81, and
could offer little help except to give the

the occasion brought together many
ministers and laymen from various

Cairns spoke on 'Confederating Our
Forces in Bible Study Addresses
were also made by DR.. Frost, Judge

| In conclusion Rev. w. B. Riley said:
"There has been a constant effort made
to make the school interdenominational.
It has been a question of how the great
est influence might be brought to bear
upon the entire public. United action in
this case means wonderful work thru
out the entire northwest. The work of
the school is Of vital interest to city
churches, as it is to assist in supply
ling country churches with ministers

country, and if The country churches
are permitted to close, the end Of the

FORMER TEACHERS BEQUEsT
FILLS LONG FELT NEED.
Property eLft by Miss Della sparrell,
Who Died Last Year, Will Be Held in
Trust, the Income to Care for Teach
ers Who May Need Nurses.

The Minnesota Loan & Trust COM
pany has in trust property amounting
to about $4,000, to be used for procur-
ing trained nurses for needy public
school teachers, the bequest Of Miss De-
liza S. Sparrell, who died about year
ago. Miss sparrell had been for sever
al years teacher in the Lowell school,,
the Teachers club. The matter of the
fund has just been brought to the no.
tice of DR.. Charles M. Jordan, superin-
tendent of schools. E
The property is a farm near Bloom
ington, ILL.,, and Miss Sparrell left it tc
her mother, Mrs. Maize A. Sparrell
living in Lake City. Mrs. Sparrell
desiring to do something substantial in
memory of her daughter who had spent
her life work in the public schools, pre-
ferred to turn these funds into some
channel beneficial to the teachers of the
public schools, rather than use them her
self as her daughter had provided
Therefore the mother made declara
tion of trust, placing the property il
the hands of the Minnesota LOAN &
Trust company, and stipulating that tht
fund should be known as the Della S
Sparrell Memorial Fund. ~
She arranged that the income from
the property or the proceeds of it's
sale should be used for the purpose OF
aiding in procuring trained nurses
when required by needy public school
teachers. The selection Of teachers fo,
the beneficiary is to be under the aus
pices Of the Teachers club altho there
is no requirement that teachers in order
to benefit by the fund shall be mem
bers Of that organizations. Mrs. Spar
rell also provided that if the club
should not, at any time, be in existence
the teachers are to be selected by the
advice of the superintendent Of schols

OFFERED JOBS
MEN ON STRIKE RECEIVE INvI-
TATIoNs FROM OTHER CITIES
WHERE EIGHT HOURS is DAY.

Many Minneapolis printers who are
out on the strike are receiving offers
from other cities where the eight-hour
schedule is in effect. 1t is said that
employers In these cities are taking
advantage Of the opportunity to get
good men while they are out Of work,
and that some Of the best men in the
city have been offered fine positions.
The union leaders are working against
are trying to hold the men here, where
it is believed they will soon be needed.
A gradual. sorting-out process is go
ing on in both parties. AS fast as it is
found that there is a capable printer
working in a struck shop, the union
leaders set out to land him. They say
that most Of the breakers are not up
to the standard of Minneapolis shops
but the few who are are wanted on the
union side. ''As far as the dubs are
concerned, we are willing they should
remain at work. said a leader.
The employers, on the other hand
are searching for good men, and say
they have no difficulty in finding them
The assertion is made that there are
better printers in the city today than
before the strike. Where an incompe
tent man is found who gives no promise
of ever becoming capable man, the
employers are trying to bring about his
capture by the union pickets. -.
! When it seems certain that the strike
is to- last longer than anticipated, {
cooperative union shop will be triee
as lever for bringing the employers
to time. The employers do not seen
to fear this, however, and say, that sucl
a shop could not get the business. Th!
struck shops are taking all the worl

on time. The trade was urged to hav!
as much work as possible done in ad
vance Of the strike, and for this reasol
business is not rushing. At Typotheta
headquarters it was announced tina

could possibly be used by the employ
