Any doubt as to the success of the
democratic party in the statel election
does not extend to the national tisk-

for Taft in the larger cities, especial

Bryan's majority will be- fully as large
as in former years. The few party
leaders who opposed the nomination of
the Nebraslzan are now back in the

ing the ordinance. No action was
taken as no motion was made, thus
leaving the matter to the city
treasurer, Claude d. Walters.
The present standing of the funds
of the schools was considered. 1t
was found that there Is now to the
credit of the board, $7,765,46 with
tuition fund Of of$45697 and a con-
tingent fund of over $4,000. 1t IL be-
ieyed sthat the expenditures Of thG
board during the coming year "
put, bP 80 great as the various faci
ties laa kAe eschool buildings az
now In repair and no building pro-
jects are before the board. 81
In response to request of the
board some time ago superintendent
II. L. Frank had prepared state
ment of the present enrolment of
the schools. 1t was reported that
while there are 313 making an In
crease of fourteen. The total ENROLL
ment of the city schools shows that
last year there were 2S11 pupils in
the schools, while this year there
are $3.50, a gain of 10. The board
was very much pleased with the re-
port, although the enrolment was
not SO great as was expected. Owing
to the fact that many families are
moving from the city, the school
enumeration has slightly decreased
in its usual proportions.
The bond of H. Edmund Hill, as
clerk, was approved by the board
and the bond of Treasurer @. d.
Walters given recognition, having
been before approved by the board.
Clerk Hill was authorized to make
out the teachers pay roll as was
done last year, and in the future
the pay roll will be approved by
the board.
p. S. Wilson, superintendent OF
grounds and buildings, asked for a
number of improvements, including
salt at each building for the pur-

was taken on the matter as the
board was not in favor OF the ac-
tion.

Rev. @. M. R0urke, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of this
city has been ,proffered the pastorate
of the First Presbyterian church in
Toronto, Canada. He has received a
number OF communications from
the trustees OF that church and
among them was one received to-
day, urging the local minister to re-
spond to their call.
The Toronto church has seating
capacity of nearly 5000 people and
a regular membership of nearly
1,5OO. 1t is one of the finest edi-
fees in the country. These features
together with many possibilities for
a. broader field of work are great
inducements for Marion's ambitious
young pastor
1t was through the recommenda-
tion of the faculty of Princeton col
lege that Rev. Rourke has been ask
ed to accept the pastorate of Tor
onto church. In response to let
ter from the chairman Of the trus-
tees that college body heartily rec.
ommend Rev. Mr.. Rourke.
A short time ago Rev. Rourke
occupied the pulpit at Toronto dur.
ing the absence of the regular pas
tor, at the special request of the
board of trustees. The congregation
was greatly impressed with his style
and consequently they are now urg.
ing his installation as pastor.
When interviewed regarding the
matter, this morning, Rev. Rourke
would neither deny or affirm that
he would accept the new position
offered. He acknowledged that the
Toronto church has called him, but
he would say nothing as to his fu.
ture action. However, there is a
probability that he will accept the
Toronto pastorate.

RURAL CARRIERS
ENTER A COMPLAINT
Patrons Place Coins Loosely
In Mail Box.
The Practice 10 One Which Should
be Discontinued to Avoid
Misunderstanding.

1t has grown to be quite custom
with people residing on the rural
mail boxes when they desire to dis
patch letters. Instead of keeping a
supply of postage stamps on hand
the rural people simply drop coins
loosely In the box.
There are several reasons why this
practice should be discontinued. In
the first place 1t imposes undue hard
ships upon the rural mail carrier as II
Is necessary for him to carefully
search in each box in order not to
miss the change, In the second place,
the money is liable to be stolen by
tramps and perhaps then the blame
would fall upon the mall carrier.
There are a number Of other good
reasons why the country people
should abandon the habit. II Is just
as cheap to buy quantity Of stamps
and II the stock runs out. the mail
carrier can always accommodate you.
Postmaster r. E. Prettyman, Of
Agosta, has called the attention OF
the residents OF the vicinity to this
feature in the rural mail distribu-
tions. This postmaster recommends
that In case that the rural resident
does not care to invest his money in
stamps, that he place in his mail
box small detachable cup OF wood
or tin in which to drop the coins
when necessary in. purchasing stamps
or supplies.
