colonel was seen a half hour later

and just then a bellboy handed the
colonel a telegram.

Vote to Consolidate.

At an election held at Isle on May
II, voters of school district IS de-
cided to consolidate under the Holm
berg act. A total of 1O2 votes were
cast of which 60 were favorable to
consolidation while AZ were against
it. Considerable of the opposition
came from the south end of the dis
trict, because it was feared that
there would be some difficulties con-
nected with the transportation of
pupils: In all probability. however,
another school building will be
erected in the southern portion of
the district, and if it is the trans
portation problem will be solved. A
special election will be held within
ten days for the purpose of electing
officers of the district.

and all did Justice to the repast,
which had been prepared by Mrs.

ceived numerous pretty pieces of
silverware, and upon departure all
expressed the wish that they might

Destroyed by Fire.

The barn on the Geo. w. Patten
farm in Princeton town was COM
pletely destroyed by fire last Satur-
day night. The blaze was discovered
shortly after IL o'clock, and al
though several of the neighbors we're
called in to assist in fighting the
flames, the fire could not be checked.
Fortunately there we're no horses or
cattle in the barn at the time. Con-
siderable hay, some harness and
numerous barn tools were destroyed,
however. The origin of the fire is
unknown, but as the barn stood near
the road it is presumed that some
passerby entered it, and carelessly
dropped a match or pipe. The
loss is partially covered by insur-
ance, as the barn was insured in a
company repree!sented by G: A.:

Protect the Public Records.

A report by the expert employed
by the county commissioners to
make an examination of the vaults
at the court house appears elsewhere
in this issue. The vaults were found
to be in fairly good condition but,
in the experts Judgment, not one of
them is absolutely freproof. By an
expenditure of about $500 the vaults
can be put in much better condition
than they are at present, and can be
made reasonably safe, but it would
require an expenditure of $4,000 to
construct vaults that would be abso-
lutely freproof. Even $4,000 is a
small expenditure to protect records
which if destroyed would cost the
people of the county many times
that amount. Something should be
done, and without unnecessary delay.
to safeguard the records. Every in
dividual who owns a foot of real
estate in the county is interested.
The Union has never thought that
it was necessary for the county to
have Jail, but we do think that it
is absolutely necessary to protect the
public records of the county, and the
two last grand jurys. composed of
men from every section of the
county, were of the same opinion,
and recommended that action be
taken by the county commissioners.

St. Edwards to Be ENLARGED.

Owing to largely increased men,
bership the seating capacity 8of St.
Edwards church has become inade-
CUTE to meet the requirements Of
that rapidly growing parish. Az
rangements, therefore. have just
been perfected for the enlargement
Of that editlce: The eastern part,
used for the sanctuary and altar,
will be moved back, and new struc-
ture, 70 feet by 40 feet, will be
built at the east end of the main
body Of the church. With the orr
ginal addition attached as before the
seating capacity will be increased so
as to accommodate about $50 more
people. |s-
It will be remembered that this is
the third time this church has been
enlarged since the organization of
the parish Is years ago by the
lamented Father Ievings. At that
time less than dozen families were
affiliated with the local church, but
by wise and conservative administra-
tion the growth and expansion has
been steady, until now the parish
numbers about 80 families, and the
entire church property is free from
debt. ,.
Churches and schools are import
ant contributing factors to immigra-
tion, and our Catholic friends have
done their full share In this respect.
We congratulate them upon the sue
cess achieved, and. under the leader
ship of their genial and devoted pas
tor, continued prosperity is assured
them.

An Excellent Entertainment.

Sleeping Beauty was produced
at the armory last Friday evening by
the pupils of the Whittier school,
and the fanciful story that has en-
tertained children for years and
years was portrayed in a most de-
lightful manner. A goodly audience
was in attendance and all enjoyed
the production from the start until
the curtain was lowered on the final
tableau.
The little folks performed splen-
didly, and it was very evident that
care had been taken by those direct
ing the affair to thoroughly famil-
iarize all with their parts. The
brightness and aptitude displayed
by the participants was indeed
pleasing, and each one who took
part is entitled to no small measure
u u praise for the success and excel.
lencc of the entertainment.
The play was divided into three
acts, and six scenes were used, No
feature of the story was missing.
! :7 princess received her gifts from
the fairy godmotherss, ana alse q
sentence of early death from a
vengeful fairy. Later the princess
received the fatal wound, but the
edict of death was mitigated by one
of the fairy godmothers, who causes
instead hundred years sleep. In
the last act the prince came upon
the scene and awakened the princess.
The dance of the witches, frolic of
the scarecrows, revolt of the orioles,
and the owls of wise demeanor, all
added to the enjoyment of the pro-
duction, while the line of cupids
was one of the ''hits'' of the even
ing. The various songs by the little
folks were also we'll received, as was
the one by Martha Arnhold. The
p]a! cite by ten little Brownies and
an equal number of Sunf1ower fairies
won the favor Of the audience, and
in the final tableau the various par
Elephants in their costumes presented
a pleasing appearance.
Between the acts the high school
orchestra favored the audience with
several selections, and, as usual, this
splendid organization discoursed
music that was indeed pleasing. It
contributed not little to the sue
cess of the entertainment.

the vaults is very SOfG ana poor.
About two inches of the floor should
be picked of and new floor surface
of cement mortar spread, care being
used to close the cracks around the
outside edges. The plaster work
should be removed from the inside
of these vaults, the plaster raked
out and refilled with mortar. The
frames around the doors should be
refilled with cement mortar. The
brick work of the chimney should
be very carefully gone over and
joints we'll raked out and refilled
with cement mortar. This chimney
presents the most serious hazard in
regard to the two vaults. We do not
consider that the treasurer's vault
can ever be made what would be
termed absolutely firepToof.
Clerk of court and register OF
deeds vaults. These vaults appear
to be in good condition except that
the door frames are loose and should
be grouted full. The floors where
they join the brick work at the bot
tom should be Clipped out and the
joints filled in.
We estimate that the work out
lined above would cost about $500.
Conclusion. At the best these
vaults can be considered only par
TALLY freproof, in that they cannot
be made so tight that the smoke
and water will not enter. The re-
pairs which we have outlined above
will render them as tireproof as they
were when new. In the event of a
fire the bulk of the records would
probably not be burned. They might
be damaged by smoke or water, and
there is remote possibility that
some of them might be burned.
If you desire absolute freproof
vaults it will be necessary to build
new vaults The present vaults are
very much too small for your pur-
poses and are inconvenient. The
new vaults if built should be large
enough to permit about double the
present storage, and a room should
be provided wherein work could be
done upon the records without re-
moving same from vaults. A good
place for these vaults would be on
the back side of the building with
passage cut through between the
treasurer's and the auditors offices.
The vaults could be one story
structure of brick and concrete and
could be made large enough to ac-
commodate all the future needs of
the county. We estimate that vaults
having a cubical contents Of about
twice your present vaults, built in a
6reproof manner, would cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000 for the con-
straction. Respectfully submitted,
