corresponding with other county schools
with view of arranging for ''track-
meet" in this city in the spring. Favor

more interesting basis than at a state
meet. Besides in this case the country
schools can also be included; any schools
interested that have not been directly in
vited may consider themselves included
and any correspondence may be sent tt

; The two Jews of Emerson in whose
establishment the fire began that de
stroyed two thirds of the Alexandra
block last week, were sent up for trial by
the committing magistrate on the charge
of arson. Feeling has been running very
thigh in Emerson against these people
and threats of violence have been made
and they were given some rotten eggs as
they left town. AS usual in such cases
while there is some circumstantial evi
dence and some suspicious circumstan
ces, it will be very difficult to get suffi
Gent evidence to convict. The accused
men have stores at one or two othel
places in the province.
