elected at the meeting of the board
on the 1st had been elected for GER
tain positions. All the teachers
were reelected; a fitting tribute to
their work here during the past
year, but no positions were assign
ed.
The names of Katherine A. Dor
an and H. G. Station were inadver-
family omitted. The former was
reelected while the position of
teacher of commercial branches
held by Mr.. Station was not filled
but was left over for further con-
sideration as to whether this course
will be carried on next term or not.
Considerable street gossip has
been occasioned with Mr.. Station as
the subject but all the various ru-
mors are wrong. No fault was
found with his work, the only
question arising whether it pays to
carry on this course with a special
teacher for the small number of
pupils taking commercial and Ste
nographic work.

Public Dun

Fraterna1 societies, church socie-
ties, any and every society that
1evies assessments, must, according
to the recent ruling of the postoflce
department at Washington, levy
those assessments on other than
postal cards. For years postal
cards have been used by various
societies to notify their members OF
dues and their payment.
The department has ruled that
this is nothing more or less than a
dun, and a violation of that postal
law which will not permit a rner.
chant or any line of business to
mail statement of account to a
patron in an unsealed letter. The
same rule is held to apply to the
fraternal assessment.
The violation of this law was
first noticed by a Michigan man
and the point brought to the atten-
ton of headquarters. Now that
the ruling has been made, the fra
ternal societies will be expected to
act accordingly. Hereafter, such
notices if sent must be enclosed in
letter and the lodge must pay two
cents postage instead of one.

Evenings and Wednesday matinee,
March %, % and 20.
Of all the spectacular productions
of modern times, none has been
credited with so long run of pros
perity. ben Hur' is today crown
ed with a record of more than
$500 performances in nine years,
and has been seen by more than T.
600, 900 people. The success of
the play is credited to the religious
sentiment that prevails in the
theme, making it particularly at
tractive to the non-theatregoer who
as rule avoids the playhouse, ow-
ing to religious scrup1es. Ben
Hur'' has the endorsement of the
leading lights of the church world
and has appealed to all theatre-go-
ers as the most powerful drama that
has ever been created for the stage.
Wallace had few peers and no
superiors in the art of presenting
to the eye the imagery of scriptura1
scenes. In ben Hur,' his mas
terpiece, he gives the life, the color,
the feeling of the time of Christ.
With these he presents an intense
heart story, heroic drama, filled
with the tenderest emotions, tinged
with the romance of love and war,
exalted by the evidence of Divine
miracles performed by the Nazar-
enc. Although the sacred presence
is not shown, it is felt, and through
out the play runs the strong under
current of religious feeling which
distinguishes Ben Hur" from all
other dramatic offerings based on
Biblical themes. The symbolism
of Rome and Jerusalem, of Jew and
Gentle, of peace and war, are
shown, surrounding the great mys-
terry of the presence of Christ.
Each scene unfolds as a perfect
picture, the whole blending in
living pageant.
Mail orders for seats will be taken
care of in accordance with date of
receipt, when accompanied by re-
mittance. The scale of prices will

Election Talk

More election talk is being in
dulged in at present and various
states are being made up. Rumor
this week is connecting the name
of Louis Eisenach with the mayor
atty. Mayor Murphy absolutely
refuses to be a candidate this
spring and it is understood that
ex-Mayor Weinzierl and Mr.. Else
mach will be competing candidates.
The treasurership will be contest
ed for by John E. Cosgrove, the
present incumbent, and Geo. l..
Brozich. Mr.. Brozich has not as
yet definitely announced himself
but his friends understand he is an
aspirant for the place.
Frank Hodge is aspiring for an
other whack at the assessorship
and so far no one has come out
against him.
For Municipal Judge there are
two avowed candidates; Judge J..
w. Osborne and Thos. Jury.
The special judgeship will prob
ably go begging for some one to
fill the position. This place is
treated as a joke and at all elect
ions votes are cast for everyone in
town. However, the Office re-
quires a man as capable as that of
municipal Judge.
1t is understood that Aldermen
Graves and White in the first ward
will be candidates for reelection.
Rumor has it that Aldermen Por-
than and Knutson in the second
will not be candidates this year.
Their many friends are sorry to
hear this and will try and prevail
on the gentlemen to allow their
names to go before the people.
Nothing has been heard as to the
in the third ward.

A Denial From
High Authority

From National Food Magazine" Chicago.
DR.. H. w. Wiley, Chief Chemist
of the Agricultural Department,
has demanded of the Calumet Bak-
ing Powder Co., of Chicago, that
it cease the publication of alleged
certificates or statements that he
had endorsed the Calumet Baking
Powder, or reported in favor of its
purity, wholesomeness or superior
ity. Such statements, he says, are
false.
DR.. Wiley never served upon a
committee of awards, as alleged,
nor signed such report or certif-
cate, nor did he ever endorse the
Calumet Baking Powder in any
way. On the contrary, DR.. Wiley
testified before a Congressional
Committee relative to alum in food,
as follows: AS have said re-
peatedly, do not use it in my own
home, and would not use alum in
my bread if I knew it. Alum is
injurious"
1t seems that DR.. Wiley's demand
that the Calumet Company should
cease these publications, which are,
he says, against the truth was
not complied with, although he has
done all he could to stop the base
and inexcusable use of his name. "
The public will share in DR.. Viii
ey's indignation that his name and
official position should be fraudu-
1ently used to aid in foisting upon
consumers a food compound made
from. ingredients which the Doctor
has publicly declared to be injur.

sence of another mans wife unless
she encourages him to act other
wise.
How the bigamist succeeds in an
nexing four or five wives is a mys-
tory that 1 have never been able to
solve, because the average man who
is sent to prison on that charge is
so homely that he could not win
third prize in a beauty contest with
Digger Indians as his competitors.
1t must be the dope he fans into
their Tugs that does the business.
We hear much about the stingy
man who makes an awful roar every
time his wife asks him for the price
of a new sky piece, but very little
about the man who works by day
and often steals by night in order
to decorate his Birdie with jewelry
and other gee gaws. Then when
he is caught pilfering and thestrong
arms of the law grabs him by the
nape of the neck and the slack of
his pants and throws him into a
cell, Birdie flies the coop and does
the hot foot for the divorce court
where she quickly secures a permit
which entities her to go cunning
for another. sucker.
Why wait until man is dead to
bestow honors upon him for his
noble and manly deeds, and for the
hope he has inspired in the hearts
of the weary? Why not recognize
and reward his good traits now,
while he is alive to appreciate it?
He cannot enjoy your appreciation
after he is dead. If you have but
word of cheer, speak it while I'm
alive to hear. -
A local writer advocates elimin-
ating the use of the comma, to
some extent, in writing. And sug-
gests, instead, the use of shorter
sentences. Hisshort sentence meth
cd is all right and should be adopt
ed by all, especially by the judges
who are in the habit of uttering
long sentences, in which it takes
years, and in some cases lifetime,
to reach the period indicating the
end.
A man in Montana was sentenced
to marry an Indian girl besides
serving six months in Jail. This is
a revival case of the, old English
custom, when a man was convicted
of crime his sentence was void
providing some woman married
him. A custom which may have
given us the saying, out of the
frying pan into the fire." How
ever, the man in question received
two punishments for a crime which
the law can scarcely consider legal.
But as he is doing the six months,
and has married the girl, the case
is peculiar enough to warrant in
terest.
