In compliance with your order

ing an abstract of all transfer pay
ments to this corporation.
A careful comparison of the re-
ceipts of this corporation, as shown
by its treasurers, with the date Sc

A careful examination of all dis
bursement of the Treasurers in
which it appears that the School
Board has conducted its affairs clear
ly within the statutes governing
school cities within this state with
the exception that we have been un-
able to locate certain teachers con-
tracts which makes it impossible to
determine absolutely the correctness
of payments to certain teachers. The
inability of the School Board to pro-
duce these contracts is treated fur
Their on this report in a separate shee
A refooting of receipts and disbure-
ments by the Treasurers as shown by

SEE THAT RECORDS KEPT.
OF Childrens Births for They Come
in Handy Sometimes in After
Years.

just as an example to show how
important it is that physicians in
the county make reports Of births
to the county health commissioner
was shown from a letter of inquiry
which came to DR.. Fry of Wabash.
The state law requires that child
must be 6 years of age before it
can enter the public schools and in
order to convince the superintendent
or principal that the child has at
tanned that age, it is necessary for
the parents to present a certificate
to that effect. A family residing in
Wabash which formerly lived in
Andrews, have a little girl, who is
now 6 years of age and when they
wanted to start the child in school
the parents were asked for a certi-
ficate showing that she was 6 years
of age The mother wrote to DIR. Fry
giving the date of birth and he went
to the court house, where he found
the record which showed that the
child had acquired thep rescribed
age and he made out the certificate
as requested.
The first name of the child was
not given by the doctor making the
report but the mother furnished it.
The rule in vogue now is that no
feature is overlooked.

CULVER NEGRO IN BAD.
Would be- Benedict is Willing ia
Marry Girl But Law Prevents.

Willing to marry but forbidden to
do so by law and held in custody
because he does not marry is the sit
uation of John Kizer, 10 year-old ne
gro, of Culver, Ind, held in the coun-
ty jail at South Bend, Ind. on a pa
ternity charge. Kizer was arrested
last week on a charge preferred by
Daniel l.. Perkins, in the interests of
his 15-year-old stepdaughter, Minnie
Dean.
The case was called before JUS
tice f. M. Morris, Saturday morning
and the defendent expressed his
Willingness to marry the Dean girl.
At first she demurred, but later an
agreement was reached. Authorities
were sent to the office of County
Clerk Frank Christoph, where they
were questioned as to the girls age.
After learning that she was but Is,
license was refused and Justice
Morris also refused to perform the
ceremony.
TIE defendant was returned TO the
county jail, where he will remain,
authorities claimed until he can fur
nish some $3.50, required for the sup
port of the child in paternity case.
Unless he is able to- furnish the sum
the complainant has but one re-
course in the way of prosecution,
through a criminal assault charge.
Officials declared the charge may be
changed to that owing to the girl
age. She was l5 years old last Fri
day, the day Kizer was arrested.

ANOTHER CHECK STORY
A Little Mistake Causes Ripple in a
Local Business House, But Things
Made Right in the End.

Unfamiliarity with business affairs
was the cause of little sensation and
for little while it was thought that
a prominent clothing firm had been
duped in connection with the cashing
of a check for $46.
: A customer appeared, a day or two
ago, at the clothing house, made some
purchases and rendered check in pay
ment, which was readily accepted. as
the party was known, and he was
given his change. The check was on
an outside bank. Prior to this little
transaction the owner of the check
lost it, and on the advice of friends
payment of the check was stopped.
Ultimately the check was found by the
owner, but the latter did not take the
precaution of notifying the bank and
requesting the cancellation of the stop
payment order, so that when the check
appeared in the bank for payment,
through clearing house channels, it was
turned down. When the check re-
turned to Moorhead the owner was sent
for, and he being rather verdanr as to
business affairs, made it little diff
cult to get at the bottom of the mat
ter, but everything was made right
and everybody satisfied.

Grain Opinions.

Finley Barrel Co.-While we can see
nothing in the legitimate situation to
warrant any sustained bull movement
in wheat, some further improvement
would not prove surprising as our re-
cent decline has undoubtedly placed
the market technically in a much
healthier condition hence the same will
for the time being prove more res
.ponsive to- bullish than to bearish in
ffuences.
Shearson- Hammill Co.-The wheat
market is in a position to advnca fur
Their on this oversold condition. Aside
from this legitimate influences have
improved.
s. B. Chaplin Co.-Legitimate infu-
ences have improved.

RAID AT LAKE PARK
Indian Agent Way Visits Soft Drink
PIaees-confisoate Malt Stuff
Which Did Not Look Good.

In the course of his rounds, Indian
Agent Way dropped off at Lake Park
last evening, to see if there was any
business being done there in the way
of surreptiously, or otherwise, sup
plying Intoxicating liquors to Indians.
or making shipments to parties on the
Indian reservation to the north.
Referring to the affair today, Cashier
Bjorge of the First National bank of
Lake Park said: 1.-THE agent did not
get much for his pains. Not even a
thimbleful Of liquors was found by Mr..
Way in his investigation. Visits were
made TO two soft drink and pool rooms
where there were found bottles of al
legged nearbeer or malt, the latter
being labeled with fanciful names. The
supply was limited, but what there
was did not meet with the agents
approval and he destroyed the stuff on
general principles" Mr.. Bjorge added
that the people generally have been
very cautious and he does not believe
anyone in that town or neighborhood
is willing 70 take any risk. The great
est care is taken of liquors kept for
private use or medicinal purposes.

A NURSE FOR NORMAL
Moorhead First of Minnesota Norn,ais
to Employ Resident Nurse For
Women Students.

A trained nurse, resident at ono OF
the dormitories, has been employed by
the state normal school. Miss Mile
Dahl, sister Of Miss Dahl who is SUI
Eperintendent of Northwestern hospital,
has just been engaged for this posi-
tions She received her training in a
ST. Paul hospital, and in addition to
her service as nurse has had expert
ence in a st. Paul department store
that fits her for administrative duties.
She will assume her work at once, re-
siding either at Wheeler Hall or the
Annex, but including within the scope
of her duties all the women students
or the normal who need her care. She
will have charge Of the hospital in the
annex.
The employment of a nurse for the
service of the 200 girls in the dorni-
tories and the 100 and more lodging in
the city, has been under contemplation
by President Weld and C. A. Wye, resi-
dent director, for some time. Three
years ago, in an address before the
Society for Charities and Corrections,
President Weld advocated the employ
ment of a trained nurse by every pub
lie school system in large cities. The
need for such a service in an institu-
ton of several hundred students. large
ly young women who are away from
home, is obvious. The service is rem
dered the more practicable both by1
the fact that so many of the students
live in the dormitories, and the fact
that these dormitories are provided /
with modern hospital equipment The
Moorhead school is the first of the
Minnesota normals to employ a resi- |
dent nurse for the care of its women
students
