FOR TROPHY
FOR LEAGUE.
Contributions Beginning to Come
in to Buy a Cup for Factory
Baseball League.

Leon q RoeSSlcr called up the
NEWS today to say that they wanted
to be the first to contribute to the
fund to be raised by the merchants
of the city to buy cup to be offered
to the Factory Baseball League as a
trophy. Mr. Leon said that after
reading the article in last nights
NEWS he thought the plan an excel
lent one and he has sent the NEWS
a check for S. as a starter. He said
that both members of his firm are
enthusiastic fans. They appreciate
the good work of the factory league

son of 1906.

received the EVENING NEWS will
add another S. to it and thus start
the ball rolling with SO toward the
trophy. The NEWS will be glad to
receive any further contributions for
this purpose and will duly credit the

TO ENTERTAIN ALL
Minneapolis Making Great Pre-
parations for the Coming of
Grand Army Hosts nextWeek
VETERANS SLEEP In SCHOOLS


Judge Eli Torrance, former com
nlander in chief Of the G. A. R., and
Wallace G.. Nye, who has. been IN
charge of the arrangements for the
national enca mpment of that organi-
zation in Minneapolis next week, have
issued the following statement:
1.-THE several committees in charge
of arrangements for the fortieth ma
tiona1 encampment of the. Grand
Army of the Republic to be held in
Minneapolis from Aug. 10 to IS, 1906,
desire to announce that their plans
are fully matured and that the city
will be prepared to meet its full duty
in connection with this great event. !"
Soldiers quarters IN school build
ings are ready for occupation and the
patriotic people Of Minneapolis are
ready to open their doors TO receive
all who come. The decoration of the
city is fast assuming shape and the
national colors will be shown in pro-
fusion. Plans for the great parade
are practically completed and cores
pondence indicates that there will be
not less than 10000 veterans in line.
All of the down town streets of the
city have been repaved. This work,
which ordinarily would have covered
two or three seasons, has been crowd
ed into few months. Extra precau-
tons have been taken todprovide
against delay in handling baggage
and in annoyance in the validation of
tickets.
All in all, Minneapolis will present
a splendid appearance to visitors who
will find everyone of her citizens ready
and anxious to render them any SER
vice within their power. Only one
discordant note has been. sounded
through all the weeks Of preparation
and that came from Washington, D.
c., periodical, ostensibly devoted to
the interests OF old soldiers. It as
stunned to criticise their host, not only
before they had become the guests,
but before they knew anything about
the plans which the committee had
been formulating for months. The
only apparent effect of this criticism
has been to add to the burdens of the
local committee by making it neces-
sary for them to answer the many
questions which were prompted by the
articles.

Too Brave.


''The bravery Of young men," said
Rear Admiral Buhler at Atlantic City,
is fact that shall never cease to
marvel over. Did you ever hear of a
hope too forlorn, a risk too over
whelming, for the young men Of the
armies and navies Of the world to I'M
dertake?
If only the young mems wisdom
equaled their bravery! But that is i'm
possible. Sometimes l think boys
have SO much bravery that there is
no room in them fol anything else.
I used to know boy who was
brave enough, but reckless, careless,
extravagant. He accumulated great
quantity of debts.
His father gave him a talking to
one day.
:" Suppose he said, that / should
be taken away suddenly, what would
become. Of you?
:" I'd stay here, the boy answered,
smiling. The question is, what would
become of you?'''

Work On New Central School to
be Torn Down Under Agree
n1ent Of the Architect
TO Be BUILT up TO CONTRACT
Board of Education Spends Two Hours
Discussing Troubles at Central
Building, bnt Formal Ac-
ton is Not Taken

The alleged defective walls which
have been built in connection with
the enlargement of the Central school
are to be torn down, and the cost Of
tearing them down lid rebuilding
them is to be paid either by the su-
pervIsing architect or the contractors
d. Gaastra, who is acting as super
vising architect Of the building in the
absence of his son, T. Gaastra, the
architect, has made a statement to the
board of education that the walls
built by The1een & Anderson, the con
tractors, are not in keeping with the
contract. He alleges that the con
tractors have not placed enough ce'
ment in the motor to make the walls
safe. The matter wasslaid before the
board of education at the meeting
Tuesday night and it was discussed
for more than two hours.
All of the contractors connected
with the job and the supervising
architect were present at the meeting
and the matter was taken up from
every point of view. The board de.
clined to take any official action II
regard to the trouble as 1t was held
that the board had contract with the
architect and witt, the contractors and
that the city was fully protected by
bonds so that the board had no right
to interfere.
Mr.. Gaastra, however, insisted thai
the walls must come down and to this
end he proposed that he would put VI
a bond Of $500 to back his statement
that the walls we're not up to con
tract and that when the walls were
torn down if it is shown that his
stand was wrong he would pay the en-
tire cost Of tearing down and rebuild
contractors make similar PROPOSE
ton to stand the cost Of the work il
the walls we're found defective.
This plan was finally agreed upor
and it was agreed that three arbitres
should be appointed by w ]. Craney
the president of the board, to have
charge of the work of tearing out the
walls and to make the decision as be-
tween the contractors andGthe super
vising architect. The three men viii
be named at once and it is expected
that masons from other cities will be
selected in order to be berfe city fair
to all parties. The wrangle over the
work will result in the building being
delayed for at least ten days as this
amountlof time will be needed to teal
down and rebuild the walls. 1t is the
intention of the building committee
of the board to have the building
ready for use by the first of Decem
Der, but it is feared that so much
time will be lost that the work will be
delayed until after the first of the
new year. The supervising architect
is in full charge of the work on the
building and any action taken by the
board of education is of an advisory
nature.
