SCHOOL BOARD
COULD NOT AGREE
FAILURE TO HARMONlZE DELAYS
THE ERECTION OF SOUTH
SIDE BUILDING g.

Unless the members of the school
board can come to an agreement there
is no probability of new school being
erected on the south side this year.
This much is apparent since the meet
ing last night held in the rooms of the
school board. At this session well
developed opposition to the building of
the new school at the price submitted
was seen and after few Intellectual
attempts on the part of the building
committee to secure favorable action
on its report, the chairman of the COM
mittee moved for an adjournment The
time for meeting next was not named
in the motion to adjourn. When the
bids were opened June IL it was found
that all Of them we're too high for the
amount appropriated, and the matter
was left in the hands of the building
committee, s. P. Hartman, J. E. Hull,
and James Majors. This committee
went over the plans and specifications
and managed to white down the cost
Of the proposed school to $40,500, or
$500 above the bonds authorized to
be Sold The opposition to the project
will not accede to this cut and still
maintains the cost is too high, and if
q better feeling Of unanimity is not
reached before long, the entire mat
ter will have to come up anew at an
other time.

Roosevelt Demonstration Last Night.
The Roosevelt demonstration at the
Auditorium last night was the climax
to series of spectacular moves staged
since his arrival Saturday afternoon.
Yesterday Roosevelt held public re-
ception in the Congress hotel. Then
he remained in his room the rest of the
day comforting with his managers and
strings of delegates. But periodically
band would parade down Michigan
avenue drawing a crowd and then
there would be cries for Roosevelt and
a speech. Other crowds thronged the
hotel halls leading to the colonel's
rooms. In the Roosevelt headquarters
there was a continual hullabaloo, led
mostly by chorus that sang 1--WE
Want Teddy" and parody on Every
body's Dcin IT, with the words arrang-
ed for the Teddyites. Then came the
spectacular meeting at the Auditorium
last night, which drew out thousands
CT people who joined in the chorus as
pandemonium broke loose within the
theater during the colonel's speech.
This demonstration during the speak
ing, by the way, was aided by the fact
that the people who heard the speech
were admitted by ticket and the tickets
were judiciously distributed in order to

were frequent and fairly well distrib-

varied from .01 inch in southern Tay

in Wayne and Decatur counties,
where severe local storms occurred,
accompanied by high winds and some
hail, which, with the heavy rain, did
considerable damage to fields and
crops All crops have made good
progress, but in many localities, oats
and some fall wheat, on rich ground,
are getting rank and have a tendency
to lodge if wet weather continues.
Corn has improved during the past
few days, and the cultivation Of the
fields is being rushed as rapidly al
possible The fields are generally
clean, and the soil is in fine condi-

DEATH OF MRS. OLE OVERSETH.
One of the Early Settlers in Norway
Township Passed Away at home
of Daughter Tuesday Even
ing.

Mrs. Overseth spent most OF her
time in Canton since the death OF her
husband in November 1908. She own
ed a home in this city where members
If her family and other relatives
reside, and she enjoyed all n COM
forts and pleasures that wealth and
loving sons and daughters could give
her. She was 63 years old but would
have passed for SO anywhere. Her
health has not been very good FOR
some time back, and on Saturday
March 80, she went down to Norway
township for an extended visit with
her daughter and Soninlaw, Mr.. and
Mrs. Ole Nordlie, but the joy and
pleasure of the visit was cut short,
for on Monday April first, she had a
paralytic stroke that affected n
side of the body, but hopes for speedy
relief were entertained because the
stroke was not very severe. Things
looked favorable until Friday when
she suffered a second stroke and
gradually grew weaker until Tuesday
evening when, at $50, she passed
away with a motherly smile on her
face seemingly conscious of the pre-
sence OF her loved ones, and her five
sons and two daughters gazed upon
that sweet face as she departed this
life to enter life everlasting.
Mrs. Overseth came to Norway
township 80 years ago from st. Peter
Mimi, where she was married In 1873.
and was a devoted member of the
Lutheran church at Moe, where the
tinal service will be held at 2 o'clock
on Friday afternoon of this week.
An informal service will be held at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. Nordlie at
one O'Clock after which the body
will be taken to Lands church where
a formal service will be conducted by
Rev. Nummedals Interment will be
in the Moe cemetery in the family
lot.
Besides many relatives and a host OF
friends five onS and two daughters
will be the chief mourners: John
Overseth and Mrs. Prof. Dale of
Canton, Mrs. Nordlie and James
Overseth of Norway township, Martin
and Anton OverSeth of Fairview, and
Henry of Lake Andes, and the LEAD.
Err with a host of friends join in
extending sympathy to the family OF
the deceased.
