able to Furnish Bonds and Are
Committed to County Jail

The preliminary hearing of the case
of the State of Minnesota against
Ben Eckenrod, single, and May Par
ker, married, charged with a statutory
offense was heard before Municipal
Judge Cary Diehl at the City Hall last
Friday afternoon. The State was rep
resented by County Attorney Ahles
and j. o. Grove of Glenwood, looked
after the interests of the defendants.
The particular offense upon which the
warrant is alleged to have been COM
mitted at restaurant and boarding
house in Melrose on August 9. Sever
al witnesses for the state were heard,
and after the motion of the defense to
dismiss was denied, the defendants
waived further hearing and were
bound over to the fall term of the
Stearns County District court in the
sum of $500 each. Being unable to
furnish bonds both parties were COM
mitted to the county jail by Chief of

senatorial boom looked good to him
and he was out to boost. Giving it to
you straight the movement to make
Governor Hammond United States
senator to succeed Moses E. Clapp is
no idle dream. 1t has the sanction of
the governor and I have been inform
ed that if his excellency can find an
opening he will break into the game.
His hopes are fixed on Washington.
That the governor is popular in Min
nesota is undoubted.
All eyes are now directed at Hen
nepin county, which in a few weeks
will enter upon a campaign to settle
the question of dry or wet. The nee
essary signatures have been secured
by the county option forces and the
election to decide the question will
be held in October. In Minneapolis

county, opinion as to the outcome is
but out in the country proper
the opinion is that the drys will pre-
vail. AS the result of such condi-
ton st. Paul, it's next door neighbor,
would naturally benefit, but the bust

such will not happen. While it may
bring a few additional dollars they
figure that there will be a reaction

A PLEASANT PARTY

Sunday was rather notable ami
versary for John Thielen. Sixty years
before he advented into this vale of
tears and 20 years previously he sur
rendered his liberty and bowed his
head beneath the yoke of matrimony.
Being the senior members of St. &C.
celia's choir of st. Paul's Catholic
church, his fellow members thought
the occasion worthy of celebration and
with a multiplicity of baskets loaded
down with a miscellaneous cargo of
,delectable edibles they invaded his
residence. The evening was spent in
rendering musical selections and var
ious games and at IL o'clock the mer-
ry party returned to their homes. Out
side the choir there were present:
Rev. Fir. ART, his brother, Joseph
ART, of ST. Cloud, FIR. Arts house
keeper and Joseph Thielen.

bull Tuesday evening about 6 o'clock.

the bull so his daughter might be-

ONDELECTION CALLED SEPT. 9
Prominent Business Men and Heavy Taxpayers Sign
the Call 900 Bond Issue Desired c. H.
Parsons Selected as Architect

The School Board of Independent
School District of the Town of Sank
Centre took a long step forward at a
special meeting of the board Wednes-
day evening at which time they prac-
tically decided upon the type of grade
building to be erected to replace the
structure recently destroyed by fire.
In deciding upon the type of build
ing the board wisely took into con-
sideration the needs of the district for
number of years to come. The new
building will be fire-proof and mod
ern in every detail.
C. H. Parsons, of Minneapolis, the
architect who prepared the plans and
specifications for the new high school
building was finally selected to pre-
pare plans for the new grade build
ing. R. A. Buckley of st. Cloud and
E. F. Bromhall of Duluth also sub
mitted plans to the board. After 60
ing over all the sketches very care
fully the Board decided that the plans
suggested by Mr.. Parsons best met
the needs of the district. The new
building will care for approximately
600 pupils and will relieve the con-
gested condition already in evidence
in the new high school building erect
ed three years ago
The board decided to ask for bonds
in the sum of $4,000 or so much
thereof as may be necessary to con-
struct the new building. A petition
was circulated this Thursday morning
and the circulators had no difficulty in
securing the following leading citi7
zens, representing all elements of the
city, as signers, asking the board to
call a special election for the purpose
of voting bonds in the sum of $4,000.
The slgnerS are: Z. M. Sprague, w. y.
P. Hilsdale, DIR. A. F. Moynihan, DR..

At a meeting of the School Board
held this Thursday afternoon at one
o'clock it was voted to call the
special election for Thursday, Sept 9,

The Herald hasn't time or space at
this late hour to go into details of the
proposed new school building. The
personnel of the school board, John

sen, and P. B. Hanson is a sufficient
guarantee that the interests of the
district will be safe-guarded and that
the money will be expended honestly
and judiciously.
If the proposed bonds carry it will
increase the districts bonded indebt-
edness to $4,000, but the assessed
valuation of the district is over 81 ,0OO-
600, and as the bonds will run for a
period of 20 years at A per cent, the
burden is not going to be heavy. I'm
der normal conditions, of course, the
board would hesitate to build until a
portion of the high school bonds at
least were cared for. But the resi-
dents of Sank Centre and the sur
rounding country are up against a
condition, not theory, and the erec-
ton of a structure as contemplated
will mean real economy in a very few
years.

lions are prepared the Herald will

ing explaining each of the proposed

Last weeks Herald in commenting
upon the housing of the grade child

there was some opposition to placing
any of the grades in the library build
ing. Later developments indicate that
we were misinformed to some extent
in this particular, and the members of
the school board will meet with the
library board this Thursday evening
to ascertain definitely just what por-
ton of the library can be used for
this purpose.

rived Thursday for a visit with his
brother, Fred, who is quite ill at his
residence in this city. While here
Joseph purchased of his brother his
fine, thoroughbred Belgian horse, Tel

sires ever brought in to this part of
the country and farmers and horse
men regret to see him taken out of

The farmers in this section are in
the midst of harvesting one of the
best crops grown in this section for
many years. Every small grain crop
is bumper, and at the rate corn is

corn grown by farmers of this vicin-
