HEADS OF VARIOUS STATE IN
STITUTIONS HOLD CONFER
ENCE HERE TUESDAY.
MRS. MORSE COMPLIMENTED
INTERESTING PROGRAM CAR
RIED OUT.-SUMMER MEET
ING AT FERGUS FALLS.

Several years ago the Board OF
Control established a system of quar-
terly conferences of the heads of the
various state institutions. Prior to a
year ago these conferences were held
in st. Paul, since that time, however,
they have been held at the various
institutions and the superintendent
have had an opportunity to observe at
first hand the work their sister in
stitutions were carrying on.
Tuesday of this week the Confer
ence was held at the Home School for
Girls at Sank Centre and representa-
tives Of practically every corrective
and medical institution under the
states jurisdiction attended. Chair
man Vasaly and Mr.. Swendsen of
the Board of Control mad charge of
the meeting.
The morning was rainy and getting
around was disagreeable, nevertlle-
less thorough inspection of the cot
tages, hospital and other buildings
was made. The heads of the other
institutions were profuse in their
praise of the work Mrs. Morse was
doing and the things she was able to
accomplish with so little to work with.
Dinner was served in the Admin
istration building at one o'clock after
which the program was carried out.
The conference was arranged with d
view of discussing matters which
would tend to improve conditions at
the institutions and the papers and
discussions following were of partic-
ular interest to the 1ayman.
AS one studied the representatives
from the various institutions he could
not help but be impressed with the
thought that each one was especially
fitted for the work assigned him or
her. Several of them have given the
best years of their life for the allevia-

Will MAKE RACE
DR.. Dubois of Sank Centre Becomes
AvOwed Candidate for Congress
as Democrat.

DR.. j. A. Dubois left for st. Paul
Tuesday evening and while away he
expected to arrive at a decision as to
whether or not he would file for con-
gress as Democratic candidate from
this, the Sixth district.
A special dispatch to the Herald
this Thursday forenoon stated chat
the genial doctor had just deposited
his fee with Secretary Of State
Schmahl and was now full fledgsd
candidate.
The Doctor did not decide until
after careful deliberation and constant
urging on behalf of his friends. The
Bemidji meeting a couple of weeks
ago assured him a clear field as far
as his own party was concerned. Of
course his fight will commence after
the primaries. He informed the Her
aid some time ago that in event of his
becoming a candidate that he would
canvass the district thoroughly The
doctor enters the field with his own
party solidly behind him. The Re-
publican ranks are sure to be some
what split up following the primaries
so that his chances of election are
better than they would be under nor
NAL conditions. Certain it is that the
people of this section will give the
Sank Centre man magnificent en-
dorsement at the general election.

BIDS FOR CAUGHREN OPERA
HOUSE CALLED FOR HEAVY
OUTLAY.
0ROUNDLESS RUMORS AFLOAT
MR.. CAUGHREN ASSURES HER
AID THAT STRUCTURE WILL
POSITIVELY BE BUILT,

Last Saturday was the day set aside
for letting the contract for the con-
struction of the new Caughren thea
tire in this city. There were a number
of bidders from st. Paul, Minneapolis,
st. Cloud, Morris and Sank Centre on
hand, all anxious to take one or more
of the various contracts.
The bids were opened at the Mer-
chants National Bank by D. B. Caugh-
rem, Manager DeBeau and Architect
Buckley. The opening was something
Of a shock to the promoters of the
play house and had the lowest bid
been accepted approximately thirty
thousand dollars would have been in
vested before the doors were opened
for the first show.
This was more than Mr.. DeBeau
was willing to have invested, and TIE
result has been a Encouragement of
all plans. The house will not be reduc-
ed in size but the exterior finish will
not be quite so elaborate as the orig
inal plans called for. Monday Messrs
DeBeau and Buckley went to the
Twin Cities to look over some Of the
theatres there and see if changes
could not be made that would reduce
the cost without reducing the eff
cheney or seating capacity of the
house or the comfort or safety of the
patrons.
The Herald understands that the
nev..nlans will be reacy in few days
and bids will be asked for again.
AZ st. Cloud contractor and one
from Morris were the lowest on gen.
eral contract.
G. Hillerud & Co., Of Sank Centre
submitted a bid on both the heating
and plumbing plants. They were not
low on the heating apparatus but
were low bidders on the plumbing.
There was some talk about town
this week that the cost of the house
was so much more than anticipated
that the plan would probably be aban-
doned. D. B. Caughren stated to the
Herald Wednesday afternoon that the
house would positively be erected and
at once, and that the size of the house
would not be reduced. He said that
his father was determined to erect the
theatre if he has to capitalize the
entire amount.
The Herald is sure that this assur-
ance from Mr.. Caughren will set at
ease the rumors, and is certain that
his progressive and liberal spirit is
fully appreciated by the people Of
Sank Centre.

row Evening.

Friday evening, May 9th, is the
date set for the annual Senior Class

alton of the patrons of the school and
the public generally.
Two vehicles of amusement have
been selected for this years enter
tainment. The first is a one-act play
let entitled "Box and Cox" The for
mer is a printer working nights only
and Cox is halter working days. The
thrifty landlady endeavors to turn an
honest penny by securing double rent
out of the room. Very amusing COM
plications naturally arise. The cast
for "Box and Cox" follows:
Box, printer ........ Carl Minette
Cox, halter -. Kenneth McCullum
Mrs. Bouncer, the landlady .....
..... Helen Allen
The class play proper is "Mr. Bob"
There is clear case of mistaken
identity all the way and the situations
while somewhat embarrassing at
times are very amusing. The COM
edy is cleverly cast and the young
people are sure to give good ac-
count of themselves. The personnel
of the cast is as follows:
Phillip Royson, a medical student
................ Russell Cooper
Robert Brown, clerk of Benson &
Benson ........ Fayette Cooper
Jenkins, Miss Rebecca's butler :.
-. L . AoiioC'i
Patty, Miss Rebecca's maid go.

Verna Scott
Marion Bryant, Katherine's friend
.............. Verona Maloney
Tickets are now on sale at Fieslers.
Admission 35 and so cents. The class
will place the net proceeds OF the en-
tertainment to some good use for the
benefit of the school, and If you have
not secured your tickets as yet, you
had better not delay any longer as
they are going fast.

Dr.. e. c. Rich received a MESA
Monday morning stating that his
Phil F. Rich had NIT with an
dent and lost his life at Akron, II
the day before.
This announcement spread abS
the city like wild-fre and the al
dent has ben the main topic of Co..
verSatiOn ever since, .ys-
DR.. Rich and family did not know
that their son was at Akron and
wire was at once sent to the chief OF
police for particulars.
Later developments proved beyond
doubt that the young man killed was
Phil Rich. He was an aviator and
was working under the name of P. +.
Harris. He was making a flight at
Akron on Sunday and made his ascent
successfully, but when 1,50O feet in
the air his machine collapsed and he
was dashed to the ground.
His family did not know at the time
that he had taken up aviation as
profession, but it has since developed
that he went East about year ago
and took a thorough course in one of
the best schools in the country. He
was fearless young man, cOolheaded
and always willing for adventure, and
his friends are not surprised that he
took I'D the aviation vocation
Phil has not been in Sank Centre
for several years, and the family's
communication with him during TIE
past year nas been through his wife
at Spokane, Wash. The Young widow
arrived in Sank Centre last evening.
DR.. Rich left Tuesday afternoon for
Akron and will bring the remains to
the old home for interment. At this
writing, Thursday morning, it is not
known just when he will arrive in
Sank Centre, but it is expected he viii
reach here Friday evening. The fun
eral arrangements have not been
made.
Details for clear and accurate ac-
count of the accident are not at hand
at present but the Herald hopes to be
able to give them next week. The de-
ceased was about 26 years of age and
his old acquaintance and boyhood
friends speak in the highest terms Of
him.

R. R. Kells, one Of the pioneer res
idents of Sank Centre will file for the
legislature from the Forty-Sixth sem

lative of State offices.
The Herald understands tina. Mr..
Kells has had the matter under al
visement for some time and at last
Welded to the wishes of his friends to
get into the game.
The entry of Mr.. Kells into the
arena of Politics gives Sank Centre
two candidates for the lower house,
Hon. Frank Minette having previously
filed. The third candidate is Mr.. Neh-
ring of Zion township, well known
farmer.
The new candidate has many ele-
ments of strength and will make a
formidable candidate. The race be-
tween the Sank Centre men will prob
ably be close in the city and well post
ed men claim that this will mean the
certain nomination of Mr.. Nehring as
one of the candidates to go before the
people at the next general election.
Still stranger things have happened
than the nomination of both Sank
Centre men.
Mr.. Kells stated to the Herald that
he expected to make an aggressive
campaign for the nomination and II
elected he will serve his district to
the best of his ability.
