'sUnder chapter 2s2, of the general
laws of 1907, the state industrial
school for girls was created. In con-
nection Herewith, the act provides
for the appointment of a board of
women visitors to be appointed by
the governor. This law was enacted
for the purpose of separating the
school for girls from that of the boys
at Red Wing. The Board of Control
was instructed by the act to invite
proposals for site for the school in
any county in the state, of not less
than 16O acres, and by virtue of the
provisions of the act, the board, more
than two years ago, decided on the
location of this institution at Sank

CITY GOVERNMENT
Outlook for Officials for the
Coming Year
ELECTION GOSSIP
Talk of John MCGibb0n for Mayor
to Succeed DR.. nennemdnn,
Who Declines Reelection

A little over two weeks remain I'M
til the next city election, which oc-
ours on Tuesday, April 4. At that
time there will be chosen a mayor,
two city councilmen and other officers.
In the last issue of The Herald APP
peared a card from the present mayor
of the city, DIR. HI. F. Hennemann,
declining a reelection. DR.. Henne-
mann has given;a good administration
which is generally satisfactory but he
feels that he has not the time to de-
vote to the duties of the office for
another year.
The choice of the voters for the
chief office in the gift of the city
seems to be John n. McGibbon.
That gentleman. is not. seeking the
office, but his manys.friends insist that
he take it. When first approached
Mr.. McGibbon declined to entertain
the proposition that he be candidate.
So many urged him to get into the
game that he, however, finally con-
sented to permit his name to be USED.
Thus far Mr.. McGibbon's is the only
name that has been mentioned in
connection with the mayoralty and it
now appears that there viii be no OPP
posing candidate. Mr.. McGibbon is
an old resident of the city, one OF the
most public spirited citizens of the
town, a property owner and Imam
we'll qualified to fiji the oisice Of Chief
-ezceutive Of. the city. Ills candidacy
gives general satis ,faction.
Two councilmen retire this gear,
Alderman VIM. Pangburn in the first
ward and Geo. F.. Borgmann in the
second. These gentlemen can both
have a reelection if they desire it.
DR.. J. A. Dubois is city treasurer and
will have no opposition
The charter commission had hoped
to finish a new charter and have it
submitted to the voters at the com.
ing city election, but there is some
doubt whether it will be ready fol-
submission at that time. City Attor-
ney NJ. c.. Kelsey is busy on the docu-
ment and if he completes his work in
time it will be submitted: if not.
then later date will have to be Sc.
lected
The annual election of directors OF
the Board of Education will be hello
on Saturday, March 25, in the south
room of the Woodbury. building.
The terms of three members expires
this year, namely, P. b. Hanson, Johr
n. McGibbon and r. E. Hansen
These gentlemen are in the field tt
succeed themselves and will in al
probability be reelected. The polls
are open from 10 a. M. till II M, and
from l to a p. m.

AMPLE PROVISION
Made for the Comfort and Con-
venienCe of the Public
BY BIG BOSTON STORE
Mr.. hiIsdale Takes Thought for the
Accommodation of Those Who
Visit the Town

If you want to be shown what real
comfort is just visit the "Rest
Rooms" of the Big Boston Store.
w. 0. P. Hilsdale, the interprising
proprietor of this fine mercantile es-
Enlistment, has prepared for the pub
lie a place where it can rest and take
comfort while shopping. AS every
woman knows, shopping is tiresome
work. And when one drives into
town from the country for day of
trading place to sit down or to lie
down and rest up and take solid COM
fort is most desirable.
The quarters provided by the big
Big Boston Store couldn't very well
be more attractive or restful. On the
second floor, which is reached by an
unusually easy stairway, three rooms
have been set apart as apartments
where shoppers may enjoy themselves
Each of the three rooms, which by
the way are situated in the front
part of the second story Of the large
building, is about twelve by fourteen
feet. Each has wide door opening
upon a large apartment where are dis
played rugs, lace curtains, carpets, oil
cloths, linoleums and other goods.
And eaclf of the three rooms isconnec-
ted with the Others bydoors between.
one room is provided with a table
and writing materials. The middle
room contains d couch. Tie third
contains toiIet and layatory. Each Of
the three rooms is handsomely furn-
ished, rugs covering the floor, pictures
adjoining the walls, while the furni-
ture is of the mission style. The
color scheme in these rooms is appro-
pirate, artistic and restful to the eve.
| On this second floor, in addition to
the goods mentioned above, are car
ried large and we'll selected stocks of
ladies' skirts, ladies', misses and chill
dren's suits, coats and dresses. Along
two sides of this spacious room are
cases in which hang the goods, the
! front of the cases being covered by
handsome curtains hung with rings so
as to slide back and forth. The floor
is covered with a handsome new car
pet and mission furniture is used An
adjoining apartment is used as fit
ting room.
The arrangement of the different
line of goods on the second floor of
the big store is the best possible.
There is ample room for the display
of goods and every appliance at hand
for the use of the buyer as well as for
the salesman. Mr.. Hilsdale is to be
complimented upon the arrangement
of the floor, and especially for the
provisions he has made for the COM
| fort of his patrons.

CLAPP'S AGIN' IT
Junior Senator Opposes Canadian
American Reciprocity
DOES NOT FAVOR BILL
Objects to Measure in Its Present
form and Gives Reason
for His Belief

Chas. A. Morse of Sank Centre has
received from T. S. Senator Moses E.
Clapp letter, in response to tele-
gram protesting against the proposed
Canadian-American reciprocity agree
ment. The senator writes:
81 could not vote for the new tariff
bill in it's present form because it
contains the very evils that we fought
SO hard against in the Payne-Aldrich
tariff bill. You speak of reciprocity
treaty. While that is the popular
term that is used in the designation
of this measure, we are dealing here,
nevertheless, with q tariff bill pure
and simple, and | am fully in accord
with the spirit Of your telegram in
opposition to that bill as it is at pres
ent framed"
Senator Clapp is being assailed on
all sides relative to to the reciprocity
matter For instance, the Public
Affairs committee of the ST. Paul
Commercial Club, has wired him as
follows:
I'VE believe that improved trade
conditions will be secured of benefit
to the merchant, the manufacturer,
the farmer, and the ultimate con-
sumer. We believe that the artificial
barriers Of trade between neighb0ring
people alike in nature and manner OF
living. should be removed, and the
fullest opportunity given Co the
American people to trade in the most
favorable market. The bill represents
constructive American craftsmanship
and while you are senator from Mil-
nesota, you are more, you are sena-
tor of the United States and the bill,
we believe, represents the wishes of
the majority of the people of the
United States. Time is of paramount
Importance. England favors imperi-
al federation as opposed to Canadian
reciprocity and the imperial feder-
alists will meet IN London, May %,
this year. If imperial federation is
accomplished we believe the oppor-
tunity of Canadian reciprocity will be
forever lost. We urge, therefor, for
the welfare of the people of Mime
sofa and of the United States, that
you declare yourself in favor of Can
adian reciprocity and vote for the pas
Sage of the bill"
In order that tie public my &C
quaint itself fully with the provisions
of the proposed Canadian-American
reciprocity proposition, The Herald
publishes, on page of this issue, the
full text of the bill in question. 1t
will bear careful reading.

DEBATES ON MONEY.

Debates on motions for apportion-

funds consumed the morning session
of the annual meeting Of the Board
of Church Extension OF the Methodist
Episcopal Church South in Richmond
yesterday morning.
Owing to the large number Of con-
ferences tha. are asking for appropria-
tions from the donation fund. every
motion meets with debate and warm
discussion. Considerable time is taken
on each proposed donation before a
vote is taken. The members of the
board seem to desire the most careful
consideration in each instance. II is
hardly probable that the distribution
Of the fund will be determined before
the closing session today.

WOMAN MURDERED.

Arnold Turner was riding Lady, the
pet family horse. through the woods
near Lakewood, n. j., yesterday about
noon after having spent the morning
securing the woods looking for his
aunt, Mrs. Charles n. Turner, who had
disappeared from her home at Lake
wood on Wednesday. He could not
understand why Lady insisted turning
off the path and taking to the woods on
the side of the road. All efforts to lead
the horse back into the path we're un-
availing, so the boy let her have her
way, aud almost before he knew it
they had broken through the under
brush and come upon huddled heap
on the ground which the boy knew was
his aunt.
He rode to the nearest house and told
the neighbors that Mrs. Turner had
been found aud to hurry and get
doctor. The woman was lying face
downward on the ground, and nearby
club, seven feet long, with the bark
knocked off in spots, told the lest OF
the story. Last night the officials were
hunting for a colored man whom they
suspect Of the crime.
MRS. Turner left her home on We'd
nesday afternoon on an errand, but the
family did not let the authorities know
that she was gone until yesterday
morning, and two OF three hours after
ward the nephew found the body.
The body was found off the beaten
track, and it was evident there had been
a struggle, from the condition Of the
body, although the ground around
showed no evidence of it. Tne theory
is that the body was carried to where 1t
was found, although the club with
which the murder was apparently done
was found ID feet away.
When the body vas turned over 1t
was found that the face was covered
with dirt, aud when this was removed
it was found that the assailant had
struck Mrs. Turner a blow in the face
which had fattened her nose back
against the face. The lips were tightly
closed and the teeth clenched. The
whole frontal region Of the skull was
fractured. There was no evidence OF
an assault.

Toms birthday, and my hands so swollen, am
sure they will be noticed"
Amty Drudge-"What caused your hands to swell like
that?"
Mrs. YoungwUe-"I had two big baskets full of clothes
to boil today-baby does get his frocks so awfuly
dirty"
Anty Drudge-"If my hands III the condition of
yours, ia be ashamed of them, too Why had four
big baskets full and my hands would do credit to a
first class manicure. My dear, use FelszNaptha

If you hired a girl to do the washing,
you wouldn't do it yourself while she sat
in the parlor, would you? That would
be ridiculous.
Then, when you get a cake Of

A woman who uses Fels-Naptha as if it

The directions on the wrapper are plain:
Use Fels-Naptha in cold or lukeWarm
