SCHOOL LAWS.
Some of the Provisions Governing the Ac-
NJ


tions of School Boards.
Considerable friction having occur
red in some of the school districts the
past winter over the construction of
the school laws, County Superintend-
ent Ewing, to the end of making the
matters in dispute more clear, deems
it meet to reproduce verbatim the fol-
lowing four sections of the statute
pertaining thereto and synopsis of
other sections:
Sec. 1916. Vacancies-A vacancy
in any school board or board of
education elected by the people shall
be filed by the board at any legal
meeting thereof until such vacancy
can be filled by election at the next
annual meeting. Such appointment
shall be evinced by resolution en-
tered in the minutes. All elections to
fill vacancies shall be for the unex-
pired term.
Sec. 1917. Special election to fill
vacancy-If the board shall fail for
ten days to fill any vacancy, special
meeting may be called for that pur-
pose by ten days posted notice,
signed by three qualified voters, free
holders or householders of the dis
trict, and setting forth the object of
the meeting. Officers elected at such
meeting shall hold for the unex pired
term, but no such meeting shall be
held within thirty days before the an
nual election.
Sec. 1913. Acceptance of office-All
persons elected or appointed district
officers shall, within ten days after
notice of such election or appointment,
file with the clerk or secretary of the
district his acceptance of the Office
and his official oath, or be deemed to
have refused to serve, but such filing
may be made at any time before ac-
ton to fill the vacancy has been
taken.
Sec. 1919. Quorum-A majority of
the school board shall constitute a
quorum, but no contract shall be
made or authorized except at meet
ing of the board of which all members
have had legal notice.
The@treasurer's bond must be for
twice the amount of money which
comes into his hands.
Salary of clerk may be fixed at two
per cent of disbursements for the
year, but compensation not to exceed
$500 per annum unless otherwise de-
creed by vote at annual meeting.
Treasurer may receive two per cent
on~his disbursements if so ordered
by voters at annual meeting.
School boards must transact the
general business of the districts at
meetings of the board and not dis
jointedly, as is too often the case,
especially with members who have
been serving on boards for several
years past.

Marks Auction.

The auction conducted by Emmett
Mark. on Saturday was the direct
means of bringing to Princeton hun
dreds of people from the surrounding
towns and country districts. The
streets were fairly crowded. The sale
was in itself great success, a large
number of good horses, cattle, farm
machinery, ETC., having been disposed
of at satisfactory prices. Emmett
Mark always draws big crowd to
his monthly auctions and the mer-
chants of Princeton are consequently
benefited as we'll as himself.

Dynamiters at Work.

.Dynamiters were at work in Rum
river on Saturday night. It is sur
passing strange that wholesale de-
stroyers OF fish are scarcely ever cap
tured, while farmer who goes forth
to obtain a denizen of the water, or a
prairie chicken which he has raised,
for his table, is usually arrested by
some sneaking Fullerton hireling.

One on the "Rosebud Senator


A short time ago Rev. J. P. Levings
pastor of the Roman Catholic church
at this place met the redoubtable Hon.
Henry Keller on train in the western
part of Stearns county. After ex-
changing greetings the Rosebud
Senator" in rather a loud tone of
voice inquired, Father, why do you
fellows refer to the Pope of Rome as
His Holiness?' He is no more hoIv
than am.''
Rev. Levings laughingly replied:
so, it is simply title. You are
styled Honorable Henry Keller when
we all know you are rascal

and the passengers who overheard the
confab roared.
The travelling man who is response
bic for this story says it is the first
time he ever knew of Keller getting
knocked out in one round in an off
hand debate.

HAVE RIGHT OF WAY.

postmaster General Rules That All Vehi-
cies Must Turn Out for Rural Carriers.
The postmaster general has issued
a notice that all rural mail carriers
have the right of way on all country
roads and that all other carriages or
conveyances must surrender the right
of way to the rural carriers. This Or
der was issued as the result of num-
erous complaints on the part of car
riers who were not able to deliver
their mail in the specified time because
carriages and conveyances which
they met refused to give them the right
OF way and often made it necessary
for them to drive slower or wait until
the road was clear before they could
proceed. A fine will be imposed upon
all who in any way interfere with the
speedy delivery of the rural mail, and
as carrier is also fined and some
times deposed for late delivery, he
will no doubt see to it that a person
responsible for his delay will bear
the punishment instead of himself.
This movement on the part of the
postmaster general will be greatly ap-
preciated by the rural mail carriers
who are often obliged to drive into a
mud hole or upon an embankment in
order to satisfy some person who
wants the whole road.

Conductor Henry D. Powers Dead

COAuuCGOI ncnEy u. IO"erS DEAD.
Henry D. Powers, one of the Oldest
and best known conductors on the
Eastern Minnesota road, died at his
home in St. Paul last week after a
lingering illness. He was taken with
typhoid fever last Christmas and al
though he recovered from the fever
the disease affected his kidneys and
terminated fatally. He leaves a wife
and two children and a host of friends
who mourn his untimely demise.
Mr.. Powers was we'll known to many
Princeton people by whom he was
highly regarded. He was always
afable and courteous, esteemed by
the officers of the Great Northern
road, and was an especial favorite
of President Hill. He was the real
hero of the great Hinckley fire in 1894;
it was mainly owing to his bravery
and cool-headedness that train load
of passengers and scores of refugees of
the fre-swept village escaped with
their lives. He was a courageous,
generous-hearted man and his death is
deeply regretted by all who knew him.

In Judge Chadbourne,s Court

On Thursday Sheriff Shockley was
called to Foreston for the purpose of
bringing before Justice Chadbourne
at Princeton Sylvester Cone, charged
with an attempted assault with an ak
upon August Kohrdt, village marshal
of the former place. It appeared from
the evidence that a family dispute was
in progress at the home of Cone and
the marshal butted in. The testimony
OF five Witnesses showed clearly
that Cone neither attempted nor
threatened to use the ak upon Kohrdt,
but merely stood upon his own thres-
hold with the implement in his hands
and advised the marshal and others
to keep off his premises. Justice
Chadbourne rightly dismissed the
case.

MCGRAW'S GIANTS
GETTING VERY WISE?

There will be no even division of receipts
IN the worlds championship games next
fall If We get inside OF the money" re-
marked Pitcher George Wiltse, the clever
southpaw of the Giants to a Cincinnati re-
porter. Last fall. when 1t was finally de-
cided that the New Yorks and the Athletics
would fight 1t out for the worlds CHAMPION
ship, there were a number of letters ex-
changed between members of our team and
some of the Athletics IN regard to an agree
ment by which the players would divide
their share of the receipts half and half
no matter which team won. instead of at 25
and 20 per cent, as provided In the agree
ment governing the games. The majority
OF men on both teams accepted this ar
fangement. But few OF us were game
and while the first defeat at the hands of
the Athletics made US feel just bit sorry
that we didn't agree to split even, we be-
came Jubilant after we had won the second
game-and after that II was cakewalk
for US. Those of US who didn't divide got
something over SLIGO out of the games
Those that did divide received nearly $500
while the Athletics who could make no
agreement with any of our men had to be
satisfied with less than 500. This fall
however. you'll find none of our boys dytd-
ing IL We play for the championship again
We know what We can do. and viii take the
chance of getting the lions share"

SAFETY OF WHALERS.
Letter Giving Information Regarding
Those In Alaskan Waters,

For several months past much anxiety
has been felt on the Pacific coast for the
safety of the large fleet OF vessels employed
in the whale fisheries I'm Boring sea ana
on the coast OF Alaska. There were fears
that the vessels would be frozen IN short
of provisions and that the men aboard them
would starve to death. The revenue cutter
service instructed the commanders OF tho
cutters on the Pacific station to obtain all
the information they could regarding the
whalers and to get relief to them II neces-
sary. Capt. Ross. chief Of the revenue cut
ter service received letter recently from
Capt. o. c. Hamlet, commanding the United
States Revenue Cutter Thetis containing n
copy of a letter from Capt. E w. Newth OF
the whaling steamer Jeanette, which. with
the fleet of whalers was frozen in at Her
schell island. The letter shows that the
men on the whalers are in no danger OF
starvation.
The letter states that the Alexander.
Bowhead. Karluk. Jeanette and Thrasher
are wintering at the island: the schooner
Charles Hanson at Token Point. and Bel
vedere. Herman. Narwhal and Beluga are
at Baillie island, all In safe harbor The
Narwhal has two years provisions. the
Herman and Beluga one years provisions.
the Belvedere with an average which Will
give them plenty, and the Hanson has two
years supplies. At the island none or
the ships expected to winter. but owing to
the large amount OF stores and trade
the Alexander and Jeanette. which were
equally divided. all have plenty. though OF
course some of the luxuries missing.
But with $4,000 pounds OF deer meat
the writer states, ''all received at the ships,
$50 dead out on the land ready to be
brought in as fast as we can haul IL, and
over 30 hunters still at work, our prospects
look very rosy and We can dispense with
the luxuries. The health of the crews here
and at the other ships is good from last
accounts. The only accidents that have
happened so far are that an officer of the
Bowhead got caught in blizzard and lost
three fingers, and one man ran away from
the schooner Chas. Hanson and lost both
feet. We have an excellent doctor here.

Sir William SudhofT's large figures in the
batting percentages stand him in good
stead IN the American League as we'll as
