when the house was ready they told
him an he went to see it.
"There is no furniture here" he
said.
"What do you want?" they asked.
He replied he wanted this and that
and added: 81 want a big desk, a
great big desk"
"What do you want that for?'
"Well," he said, II want to go in
there and sit back in my chair and
put my feet upon that desk, and

SHE ALMOST REMEMBERED

Little Josephine, aged four, was in
tently studying the pictures in a
book and seemed very much inter-
ested in a picture of Charles Dickens.
Taking the book TO her mot her she
inquired who it was.
THAT is Dickens, DEAR" said her
mother.
The picture was wonderfully fasci-
mating to the little girl and when
her big sister came from college in
the evening she ran and got the book
turned to the picture and said:
Sister, see! This is a picture OF
Mr.. Darn
Her sister, replied, 'No, dear, that
is Mr. Dickens"
"Well," said Josephine, 81 knew
it was some kind of a swear word. :"

make it clearer, and put the question
In this way: "Why would a man

Sauk Centre Gets $l25.OOO for
the Girls School
THE STATE is LIBERAL
All Doubt Removed as to the Posi-.
bility of Work Going Forward
this Season

The general appropriation bill as 1t
passed the Minnesota legislature this
week carried an appropriation of sl25,-
600 for the erection of buildings, and
s25, 900 for maintenance in 1911, fol
thesgirls' industrial school, which was
located at Sauk Centre last year by the
Board of Control. The sum of S25, 900,
appropriated by the legislature of 1907,
is yet unexpended, so that there is a
total of $3.50, 900 at. hand for work this
year.
The work of construction will un.
doubtedly go forward at an early date
The sum of sl25, 900 appropriated this
year is available atonce. The matter
of right-of-way for the spur track from
the Northern Pacific road to run
right up to the school buildings has
been secured and everything is in
readiness for work to begin.
The probabilities are that the first
work to be done will be the grading
for this track. The grounds have
been surveyed, though they have not
been fully laid out. There will, OF
course, be some additional work Of
this nature to he done before the work
of building can begin.
DIR. j. A. Du Bois, to whose efforts
Sauk Centre is greatly indebted fol
bord continuous and earnest work in
securing the school, was in st. Pau
on Tuesday and saw the authorities
ascertaining that the buildings will in
all probability be erected this year
The doctor is very enthusiastic ovel
the outlook.
The site for the school could not be
finer. Lying, as it does, on the high
bank of Sauk Lake, the land is in
every way adapted for buildings OF
this kind. The tract is capable of be.
ing additionally beautified to great
extent. 1t is certainly going to be
one of the attractive spots in the vi
cinity of Sauk Centre when the build
ings are completed and the grounds
laid out and trees and flowers growing
The city has already done its part
by securing the site and laying sewers
on the north side of the river to con
meet with the state sewers from the
buildings. 1t is now up to the state
to go forward.

Clean Up

1t is the earnest request of the
Health board that owners of property
in Sauk Centre look to the matter of
spring cleaning as speedily as weather
conditions win permit. Our city has
earned many compliments from the
travelling public, upon its natural
beauty, and cleanliness, and while we
feel that we have deserved such COM
mendation, we should endeayor to
raise the standard and make improve
ment along all lines. We trust that
by the 1st Of May our little city may
be as clean as baby, and as attrac-
tive as its mother.

License Is Refused BY the

The adjourned meeting of the city
council, held last Friday night, WAS
replete with interest in more ways
than one.
In the first place, there was nothing
doing in the matter of the appoint
ment of a city clerk. 1t viii be re-
membered that at the previous meet
ing Mayor Minette's appointment of
Peter Robischon to the position failed
of confirmation by vote of two to
three, Alderman Boutell being alb
sent. All the members of the council
were present at Friday nights meet
ing but the subject did not come up
at all. There having been no appoint
ment confirmed, the present clerk, J.
f. Cooper, will hold over until his
successor is appointed and confirmed.
Mayor Minette informs The Her
aid that there will be no fur
ther move made in the case and that
Mr.. Cooperwill serve for another year.
President E. A. Richards appointed
his standing committees for the year
as follows:
| Parks-Boutell, Miller, Borgmann.
Finance -Borgmann, Miller, Rich
ards.

There was an interesting contest
over the application of Heimer g.
Gross for a change of license from
their present location on Main street
to the Vessey building at the corner
of Third and Oak. The first vote on
the proposition to grant the applica-
tion was informal and was tie, stand
ing to 3. Then second vote was
taken and it stood two yeas and four
nays. A third vote was taken which
stood the same as the second, and the
application was denied.
A motion was then made to COM
bine the two offices of street commits
sioner and superintendent of water
works. The first ballot was informal
and was tie. The second ballot was
formal and was also tie. On third
ballot being taken the vote stood 4 to
in favor of the combination. This
legislates Geo. 1 Dobbs out of Office,
as at the previous meeting of the
council Geo. M. Rice had been duly
elected street commissioner. Mr..
Dobbs had an application in for reap
pointment but the vote to combine
the two Offices settled that. The SAL
ary for the two combined offices was
fixed as follows: Street commissioner,
$500 per month; general utility man,
$1,000 per month; superintendent wa
ter works, $500 per month, makinga
total of $4,000 per month. Mr.. Rice
will do all the work.
B. f. Carr was elected city engineer.
The pay of city laborerers was fixed
at $3.50 per day; $500 per day for man
and team. The Merchants National
Bank was authorized to collect water
rents for the year and to receive there
for commission of 2 per cent.

The contest in the measure has been
keen and determined on both sides.
The first public move made was when
Senator Sageng submitted reasolu-
ton requiring the tax committee OF
the senate to report the bill out Mon
day of last week. This motion was
adopted after some sharp sparring and
the bill reported out accordingly. 1t
was at once recommitted to the COM
mittee, though retaining its place on
general orders in order that public
hearing, for which arrangements had
previously been made, might he had
on it the following Tuesday evening.
On Wednesday morning it was report
ed back to the house without recon-
mendation, but accompanying this
majority report there was minority
report recommending that the bill be
made special order for the following
Friday. Senator Clague moved the
adoption of the minority report, and
at this point the fight was resumed.
After an Animated and somewhat
acrimonious debate ruling was Sc
cured from the lieutenant governor
that the minority report, as it involv-
ed advancing the tonnage tax bill out
of its order. could only be adopted by
a two-thirds vote. When the vote
was taken there were only forty for
the minority report, or to less than
the required two-thirds. The chair
declared the motion lost, whereupon
Senator Clague appealed to the senate
against Mr.. Eberhart's ruling. Then
the opponents Of the bill weakened.
Rather than subject the lieutenant
governor to the humiliation of an ad-
verse ruling Senator Laybourn agreed
that If the appeal was withdrawn he
would consent to the tonnage tax bill
being made a special order for Friday.
This closed the incident.
Before Friday arrived, however an
other plan was devised to defeat the
bill. Senators Works and Witherstine
submitted q resolution to. the effect
that the tonnage tax bill be referred
to the tax committee, which commit
