School Board Meets Citizens

: Persuant to call for a meeting of
the citizens to discuss school matters
relative to the erection Of a ward
school building in this city, goodly
and representative body Of our citi-
zens met at the court rooms Friday
evening. The proposition brought be.
fore the meeting was that the plans
for the new building as submitted by
the architect were estimated by him
to be possible Of erection at a price
Of about $4,000 to $4,000, complete,
but when bids were asked it was found
that it would require considerably
more thar this amount to build the
new school house. And the meeting
was called to feel the public pulse
as to the proper procedure to persue
under the circumstances.
The meeting was addressed in
formally by number of those present
and the unanimous sentiment express
ed was to the effect that we must have
the school building, but the consensus
OF opinion seemed to be that the build
Ing should be erected so as to have
all the conveniences possible and be
well built but that some of the mater
ials should be less expensive that
those called for in the original speci-
ficatfons. The outcome of the meet
ing was a practical instruction to the
school board to use their best judg-
ment in the matter.

was a large shamrock on the door.
The rooms were prettily decorated
with the emblem of Ireland, portiers
OF shamrocks draped the arches, fes-
toons of leaves over window curtains
were most attractive. The corners
were banked with carnations and light
was furnished by candles in beautiful
candlebra.
Flags of old Ireland were very much
in evidence.
The guests began to arrive at $3.50
and were waited upon by Misses Olga
and Inez Serumgard, assisted by a
groupe Of their friends. They were
received by the hostesses assisted by
Mrs. Stoltz and Mrs. Ness. After find.
ing their places by means Of appropri-
ate place cards, the guests were serv-
ed with an appetizing five course din
.er. After dinner the remainder Of the
evening was devoted to cards. Part
ners were obtained by means of en-
tertaining questions and answers on
the back Of the place cards. The first
and second prizes, large silk flags of
the "Old Country" were carried off
by Misses Coyne and Jones.
The others we're given consolation

Before the guests were aware, 1T
was time to depart and it was the feel
ing of all that their hostesses were
royal entertainers

New Management at The Star;

r. A. Young who was formerly man
ager Of the Star Theatre, has associat-
ed himself with several other enter
prising young men of this city and will
again take management, of the popu-
lar play house. The theatre has been
closed all this week and will open
Monday with an entire new outfit.
New songs, new pictures, new vaude-
vile. Mr.. Young made a decided sue
cess of the business under his former
management ll and it is predicted that
with that experience he will be able
to make it still better at this time.

new OPERA HOUSE
Plans on Foot For New Play House
In Devils Lake

There is a plan on foot for the erec-
tion of new opera house In Devils
Lake that is meeting with marked
degree of success. Seventeen of
Devils Lakes most talented young
gentlemen are rehearsing on a min
strel show which will be presented
in the near future, and J. M. Thomp-
son has been selling tickets for it
the past few days at $500 ticket.
He had up to yesterday sold tickets
to the amount Of about $4,000. It is
thought that $4,000 will be thus raised
by the time the entertainment is given.
This amount will be the starter for
the new play house.
Refusal Of the lots formerly occu-
pied by the Jacobson block at the
corner Of Kelly avenue and 9Th street,
has been secured and it is the inten-
tion to build thereon an opera house
at a cost Of about $25,000. The bal
ance Of the funds will be raised by
stock or some other manner. The en-.
tertainment will give it g. fair start
and If the enthusiasm already shown
Is any citerion there should be nc
question but that we will have in our
midst playhouse that will be a credit
to our city and an incentive for first
class attractions to visit US.
Enterprises of this character can be
either made or killed by the people
! and If we are not very much mistaken
in our judgment, the people of Devils
Lake are a class that believe I'm pro
gress, and will unite in pushing good
thing along. Mr.. Thompson's interest
in this project Is very commendable
and he should have the hearty support
of every loyal citizen of our city.
Now If you cannot be a pusher 4
behooves you in the interest Of you,
community to SO conduct yourself tha
you will not be classed among tha
faction known as knockers. Its
good thing and we should all push i
along.

MILLIONS MIL FOR GRAIN :, ! !
Reports Give Figure as to Amount
Bouaht and Sold ON Chicago Ex.4

z Chicago, March 19.-In grain and
-four L! Chicago received ,307, ,246,140
bushels and shipped 23s,561, ,045 bush
els last year, say reports just COM
piled. This was actual grain and flour,
actually received and paid for and ac-
tually sold and collected for by mem
bers of the Chicago Board of Trade,
an interesting fact in view Of the ques-
Ntion raised in Congress as to the value
to general business, and to producers
particularly of legitimate grain ex-
changes. Chicago also received TO-
238,968 head of cattle, hogs and sheep,
and shipped OF. beef and hog products
total of 2,1O5,786 pounds.
A considerable portion of all this
new farm wealth was sold for delivery
as buyers and sellers agreed or as
was required in their business. Its
value In dollars amounted to an enor-
NOUS sum paid in cash. Every work
ing day there was a cash market and
cash price. "Otherwise," as has been
said, buyers and sellers would not
have found a market which could buy
so much and sell SO much at fair
prices so quickly"
a.. European merchants purchased up
on exchanges millions upon millions
of bushels of wheat in the American
! market last fall, this buying helping
to advance the price about 15 cents
per bushel, on the supposition that
there was shortage in the worlds
supplies up to new harvest. 1t was
impossible to arrange for transporta-
ton for all this produce at once, SO
the purchases were made for delivery
over long period. In fact, in no 9th
.er way could the end desired be &C
complished, and America would have
lost the sale Of a very large amount
I: of wheat If this buying. for the future
lad been imp possible for lack Of quick

MdlCu Ill, 1JU6.
To w. E. Goozee:
Webster, N. Dak.-Dear Sir:-Since
receiving your letter I have made a
thorough examination of our primary
election laws and of election laws in
general as these now obtain In our
state, and l am free to say that am
a little surprised to find that there is
absolutely no way of getting on the
Australian ballet for the November
election thar by becoming u party, can.
didate at the primary election held in
June. ...r,
=. The nomination by paper of petition
seems to have absolutely disappeared
except in municipal elections in cities
under 5000. OF course, it woes not fol-
low that you cannot be a candidate
for Auditor at the election. If you do
not receive the nomination at the
primary, the voter has the right to
write in the name of any person for
whom he prefers to vote for any given
Office, or stickers can be used, but
you can readily see that this means
an awful handicap as it means that
the candidate, who does not appear
on the ballot must have had personal
contact with every voter, whom he
expects to interest in. his behalf.
am sorry that this is the case as
the independent voter and the inde-
pendent candidate has as much right
to be represented and have his views
represented on the Australian ballot
as the partisans. II you want your
name to appear on the Australian bal.
lot you must therefore go in as "a
party candidate in June. I would sug.
gest that ron embrace the opportunity
Of seeking the democratic nomination.
IDur party stands for reform, both local.
" and In national politics and it is
about time that all who are in favor
Of good government get together.

Interesting Records Dug

While rummaging around at the
county court house the other day, the
first official record of Cache county
came to view. A single small book
contains all the records Of all business
transacted from 1857 to 1878, and while
the whole is filled with matters OF In.
terest to those who like to make com.
parsons, the first few pages detailing
the organization Of Cache county, and
incidental business matters, Is OF ex-

to give these pages In their fullness,
but OF the first few meetings Of the
county court held at the original
county seat. wellsville, and subse-
quent meets at Logan 10 1860 mention

taxable property and rate Of taxes 10

Old Records In Basement be.

At the present time very splendid
service for the county is being per.
formed at the court house. For many
years the basement OF this building
has been utilized as storage room for
countless records, files and the like,
and unfortunately these have been
dumped there with little care as to
their preservation. Under the direc.
tion of Commissioner Knowles the
basement Is now being cleared of rub
bish and the valuable records are re.
c,iving the care they should have re-
ceived long before this. The base.
ment Is quite damp as a rule and this
has caused many Of the files and rec.
ords to mildew, but up.to. date none
are really damaged further than the
coverings. Mr.. Knowles has had built
high and dry such receptacles as are
needed and the valuable books are
now placed therein. They will be
labeled properly and in the future
taken care Of to as great advantage as
is possible when vault room is not
available. Many Of the records are
very valuable, but heretofore they
have been treated as worthless. This
present care Is quite commendable, re.
