The school board was in session just
an hour last night, from seven to eight,
to allow the members to attend the diff
ferent entertainments, but it work
ed rapidly and much business was trans
acted All of the members were pres
ent.
Mr.. Currier, for the committee on
property and expense, reported that the
stoves. in the West Mankato building
have not yet been disposed of, but he
thought that he would get rid of them
in a day or two. The new heating plant
is working well. Wood must be pur-
chased for the Franklin building. The
sidewalk past the East Mankato school
had been torn up by the city authori-
ties, and rather than sell it for S., it
had been thought best to divide it
among the different buildings for kind
ling wood, as there was about four
cords of wood in the walk
The committee was authorized to adj
vertise for bids for furnishing wood to
the Franklin building. The dark in
side hall in the Pleasant Grove build
ing was also ordered lighted with a gas
jet.
Mr.. Fletcher favored raising $1,000
in taxes to pay interest on the loan
from the state, in addition to the regu-
lar levy of l,500, as the current fund
has been weakened. 1t was necessary
for the bank to advance $l,303 to the
board in November before the money
came in from the settlement, and there
is now only S. ,4679O on hand. Presi-
dent Hughes said that this had been the
understanding of the board and he had
directed the county auditor to levy the
tax for the bonds in addition to the
regular levy.
President Hughes reported that he
had looked up the matter of boiler
compound and had ascertained that what
the board had bought in April, 1904, had
cost $3.50, but the janitors say that
it is of no benefit to the boilers, but
harm them, if anything, while it does
not prevent pitting. They have used
very little of it, and the most of it is
on hand.

his report, as follows:

Superintendent Mcconnell also sug-
gested the following recommendation:
''In view of the great value of his
tory, it is apparently our duty to give
it more consideration than it receives
at present in our grade curriculum. Ac-
cording to our printed course of study
no provision is made for the study of
history until the eighth grade except the
introduction of irregular work in the
form of texts in reading in the sixth
and seventh grades. The value of this
work is questionable in its present
form. 1t is confined to United States
history alone; it is unsystematic; if it
receives the attention it deserves it de-
tracts from the reading for the sake
of reading.
If the most important function of
our public schools is to study the world
and its people and our own proper re.
iation to them, then the study of the
human race, its traditions and its his.
tory, is deserving of more consideration
than it at present receives.
No more consideration of the, his
tory of cur own country, condensed and
frequently without the pulsation OF hui

STATE GIVEN JUDGMENT.
Final Move in the Action Against the
Western Union.

From Thursdays Daily.
The final step was taken yesterday in
the suit brought by the state against
the Western Union Telegraph COM
rIany to enforce the collection of taxes
based on the valuation OF The COM
pany's franchise, when a judgment was
entered in favor of the state for $780,
464.SO. The company refused to pay
the taxes on a valuation of $l,0OO,O0O,
as fixed by the state board of equali-
zation for the taxes of 1899, this be-
ing an increase of 100000, and the
state brought suit to enforce the col
lection on the increase, the company
paying the taxes on the admitted valua-
ton of 100000.
The main point at issue was whether
the company could be assessed for it's
franchise or only for its tangible prop
erty, and the supreme court held that
the franchise is subject to taxation.
The entry of the judgment in this
case yesterday is for the amount of the
taxes for 1899, costs and interest, but
the Importance of the decision lies in
the precedent established, as under the
decision of the supreme court the fran
chise of other public service corporations
are also subject to taxation.

The Strongest King.

Tho strongest king on record, so the
story goes, appears to have been CaluS
Julius Yerus MaXimus, the son of a
Thracian peasant and emperor Of
Rome. 1t IS related that with one Of
his fingers he stopped a chariot dash
Ing by at full speed, that he could
draw loaded wagon, by blow Of
his fist could break the hardest stones
between his fingers and split trees with
his hand. This redoubtable sovereign
was eight feet high, and his wife's
bracelets served him for finger rings.
We have passed over Og, the king Of
Bashan, who, as the rabbis say, was
nearly six miles high. drank water
from the clouds and toasted fish by
holding them up to the sun and who,
when Noah refused him shelter in the
ark. survived those trOublous times by
wading through the flood, which only
reached to his knees. and OF Atlas, king
OF Mauritania. who is said 10 have sup
ported the world upon his shoulders.
