After re-electing all the minor Off
GERS, the board of education Tuesday
afternoon raised the salaries of most
of them. The increases are as fol-
lows: Hugh Marchbank, clerk in the
office, from $1,000 to $4,000; w. H.
Adams, supervisor of buildings, from
$1,000 to $1,000; A. N. Wasmuth, sup.
ply clerk, from $1,000 to $1,000; G. S.
Davis, truant officer, from $65 month
to SIS. All the janitors were reap

ings company was granted permission
to experiment with saving system in
the vacation schools for the purpose OF
encouraging children to saev money.
The bid of 43 cents per square yard
for concrete sidewalks submitted by
the Andrus Paving company was with
drawn and the contract was let to the
Union Paving company for 81 cents.
Some alarm has been caused among
Minnesota educators recently by the
statement that IS per cent of the
chalk used by the public schools con-
tains large quantities of plaster of
paris and that the dust from plaster of
paris is as injurious to pupils as is
coal dust. It is said that plaster OF
paris is the principal ingredient of the
chalk commonly used in the rural
schools. AS the chalk is pulverized
by friction with the blackboard, the
plaster of paris, instead of falling to
the ground as does chalk made from
more expensive materials, creates a
dust, and is inhaled by the pupils. The
plaster of paris gathers about the
membranes of the throat and lungs,
causing inflammation and sometimes
permanent illness. The evil effects of
chalk made from plaster of paris has
been brought to the attention of the
state department of public instruction
and to the state board of health, and
it is not improbable that some rene,
| dial measures will be taken.
DR.. G. G. Weston and John Crosby
have been named as the two ap.
pointees to the board of corrections
| and charities. Mr.. Crosby will sue
coed himself for another term on the
board and DR.. Weston, who was city
physician from 1895 to 1899 under
Mayor Pratt, will succeed DR.. F. R.
Woodland, who declined to accept re-
| appointment after fourteen years or
continuous service on the board. DIR.
| Woodland notified the mayor some
days ago that he would not be can
didate for reappointment, but his for
NAL letter of notification did not reach
the mayor until Wednesday morning.
AS soon as it was received the mayor
announced the appointment of DR..
| Weston to succeed DIR. Woodland ana
| of Mr.. Crosby to succeed himself
Commissioners Holtzerman and Rine-
hart, who, with the mayor, compose
the rest of the board, are both hold
| over members, whose terms of Office
do not expire for two years. The an
nual meeting of the board will take
place next Monday, when tho new
board will be organized and the var

The former head of Il large private
school in Cleveland was gentleman
of dignified bearing. refined and correct
always in manner and speech. By
birth and early rearing he was YER
monter and doubtless of straight Puri-
tan extraction. One day in his boy
hood his mother called him in from the
yard where he was playing with some
other boys to say to him, in tone sug-
gestive of mingled sadness and sever
ity:

Affects Shippers of Whisky
Into Local Option Places

John w. Yerkes, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, has made a ruling
which is of vital Importance to shIpp.
ers of whisky to local option com
munities. In many instances dealers
OF this kind have been shipping
whisky, consigning it to themselves
attaching oil of lading OF draft
which had to be paid by the custom
ers, often at bank before they could
get the goods. The commissioner rules
where this is done the dealer VIII
have to pay special tax before the
goods can be delivered to the custom
ers, and this will have TO be done in
every place where the goods are de-
livered.
Under an act of the last Legislature
dealers in whisky are forbidden to ship
their goods into a local option com
munity G. o. d. In order to evade
this responsibility they have been bill
ing the goods to themselves, and
drawing on the customer at the town
where the delivery is made. When the
commissioner was notified Of this he at
once made the following ruling:
"Liquor dealers, who upon orders
received from customers. instead CT
shipping the liquor ordered to these
customers, with directions to collect
on delivery, ship.the liquors to them
selves, and send the bill of lading,
with draft attached, TO blank for pay
ment by the customers before they can
be entitled to the possession of the
liquors involve themselves in special
tax liability at each place where sales
and deliveries are made.

ZION today us follows:
by the President of the United
States
a Proclamation
When, nearly three centuries ago
the settlers came to the country
which has now become this great re-
public, they confronted not only nard-
ship ana pIivation, but terrible risk
&C their lives. In those grim years the
.ustom grew OF setting apart one day
IN each year tor a special service OF
thanksgiving to the Almighty for pre-
serving the people through the chang.
-ging seasons. The custom has now be
come national and hallcwed by i'm
nemOl ial usage. We live in easier and
more plentiful times than our fore
fathers. the men who with rugged
strength faced the rugged days and
vet the dangers to national life are
lutte as great now as nc any previous
time i'm our history. 1t Is emmently
sitting that once year our people
snOuld set apart a day tor praise and
thanksgiving to the Glver of good,
and at the same time that they ex
press their thankfulncs, for the abund-
ant mercies received, should manfully
acknowledge their shortcomings and
pledge themselves solcmnlY and in
good faith to strive 10 overcome them.
During the past year we have been
blessed with bountiiu crops Our bust
ness prosperity has been great No
other people has ever stood On as high
a level of well-being as ouIs now
stands. We are not threatened bv foes
from without The foes from whom
We should pray TO be delivered are our
own passions, appetltes and follies,
and against these there is always
need that we should war.
" Therefore, / now set apart Thus
day, the both day Of this November,
as a day of thanksgiving for the past
and of prayer for the future, and on
that day | ask that throughout the
land the people gather in their homes
and places Of worship, and, in rem
dering thanks unto the Most High
for the manifold blessings of the past
year, consecrate themselves to a lite
Of clea Illness honor and wisdom, so
that this nation may do its allotted
work on the earth in manner
worthy OF those who founded it and
OF those who preserved it.
I'm witness whereof, | have here.
unto set my hand and caused the seal
of the United States to be affixed.
Done at the city Of Washington,
