REWARDFOR STENSLAND

Chictago, Ang. 14.-Tbe banks of
Chicago Clearing House Soclaation
have offered a reward Of $4,000 for the
arrest Of Paul o. Stensland Of the
Milwaukee Avenue hank. So anx-
ious are the bankers to capture the
accused official that conference was
bald this afternoon to decide upon
some action to assist the police au-
thorities in their search for Stems
land, and the passage Of = resolution
10 pay this reward YVES the result.
The failed bank has two receivers
tonight. Judge Gibbons in the cir
cult eonrt this Afternoon appointed the
Chicago Title d Trust company as re-
ceiver. Following the appointment
Of the Trust company a demand was
made upon John C. Fetzer, who was
appointed receiver Of the bank by
Judge Brantano In the superior
court last week, that he turn over all
books and papers TO the new receiver.
Attorneys for receiver Fetzer advised
him to refuse the request and a Bit
ter contest 10 sure to follow.
II is declared by the attorneys who
asked for the new receiver today that
Fetzer's appointment in the superior
court was illegal because Judge Bren-
tano was without proper jurisdiction
when he made the appointment.
The new receiver vas appointed on
the petition Of T. T. Ed, a director
who has secured Judgment Of $4,000
against the bank. The appointment
Of the title and trust company was
made on the grounds that the former
appointment by Judge Brentano was
made under the general banking law
Of 1872, when IL should have been
made under the special act pertain
ing to state banks passed in 1888.
Inspector shippy and two detec-
tives went to the house Of President
Stensland, Irving park today to seek
further evidence against the missing
bank president. In the house they
found what they believed 70 be a Sc
cret room. The room which has
hidden entrance TO Stenaland's den,

The regular meeting of the school
board was held last evening with r.
n. Elder, II. v. Scallon, T. A.
Daughters, and ]. c. White present.
After the reading of the minutes
the chairman called for correction,
and I. A. Daughters recommended
that the clause-''for the present" be
stricken from that part in which Jani-
tor Morris was laid of. This action
dipenses with his services unless he
should apply for the position and be
accepted.
The report Of the superintendent
was the next in order of business and
Prof. Barton stated that he had re-
port to make, which, in substance is
as follows:
F'Last year thu board met and dis
Cussed the recommended change in
books for the past school year, but
there were several books, while not
satisfactory, the board did not
change 1t is impossible to use these
books this year, as they are old and
out of date, and not reliable, and the
use of them this year would prove in
furious. OF these books there are
three, the grammar, history and geog-
raphy. The grammar series in partic-
ular is defective and would recon-
mend that the school adopt MotbRe
Tongue, Nos one and two. Aes
will articulate with the onae Used "a
the high school and Aofac known
as Mother Tongue No. III. and are
thoroughly reliable. -
The board took up and discussed
the advisability of adopting this
book, and after some consideration
the change was agreed upon
The report says 81 would also rec
comend that the Montgomery series
of history fer the sixth, seventh and
eighth grades be adopted. The one
used last year, the Seudder's history,
is not reliable, and not easily com
pretended blythe school children, but
is better suited to study by adults. !"
The board spoke of the unsatisfac-
tory results obtained from this book
and adopted the Montgomery series.
81 would also recommend, says the
report 1hat the present geography re-
main in use for the coming school
year, as the change made at pres emf
would prove toe expensive. -
On motion by II. V. Scallon, sec.
'onded By R. H. Elder, the report was
accepted and placed on Iile.

there are any here, think of the out

twenty-one are on Cans and nineteen
on Nelson. Two tickets on Cans call
for him to win inside of five rounds,
seven each in ten and fifteen, three in
twenty. one in twenty five and one If
it goes over twenty five. Three tickets
call for Nelson to win either in five,
ten or fifteen rounds. Seven are writ
ten for twenty rounds and also for
twenty five. while two tickets call for

The trend of opinion is that If the
fight is short Cans will win, while

chances of Nelson are the brighter

Men who have seen Cans at different

today was the best he has done while
