John Galligan at once arose and nov ed that the meeting ado1urn without date. This was seconded and voted unanimously and the voters filed out of the school house after the shortest meeting on record.
 Tn the remarks made after the meet ing, this disposition of the matter seemed to be generally. satisfactory. The comment was along two lines, one that the district could not afford to build new school house, meaning a greatly increased tax rate, and 1t was also argued that there was now no call for it. as the leasing of Billings hall had provided school conditions that met with the approval of the town board and were quite satisfac- tory to the district

THREE STICKS OF
 DYNAMITE IN WATER ST.
Found in Body of Wagon in Front of Lane Brothers store-BeIonged to Gardner Lake Man.

The finding of three sticks of dyna- mite in the body of a covered wagon belonging to Lane Brothers and stand ing in Water street near their store. caused quite a little excitement Sum- day morning. The matter was re- ported to Chief Murphy and he made Inquiry about it. which resulted in the statement that 1t was probably stolen from a farmers team Saturday night, but what has become of the other seven sticks Is the mystery.
 A Gardner Lake farmer bought ten half pound sticks Saturday and they bein gin a pasteboard box placed them in the bottom of his wagon standing at Spicer's store. He didn't miss it until he arrived home, when it was gone, and he gave 1t up as stolen. When he came into town Monday he was asked about 1t. and told of its disappearance. It is supposed that someone stole 1t, and placed 1t in the Lane wagon, but nothing has been found of the other seven sticks. The Gardner Lake man had a permit to use the explosive. Had there been a collision with the wagon containing the dynamite there might have been trouble. and the missing sticks are giv- ing the police some anxiety.
