SEVERAL TEACHERS RESIGN.
Vacancies Again Put Worried Look
On Co. SuptS. Face.

County Superintendent Brick is
again on the alert for teachers. Mr.
Brick has had three designations hand
ed in from country schools during

Ter of Wingville, No. 8, resigned her
position and a new teacher will have

CITY CANDIDATES MENTIONED.
Papers Ont For Number Of Good Cit
liens On Various Local Offices.

Papers have been circulating the
past week on a number Of local men
for various city offices and it is evil
dent that the people responsible for
the circulation have judged wisely
and well in the various candidates
whose cause they are espousing.
Clarence Calvert will probably be
a candidate TO succeed himself as al
derman from the Fourth Ward. Pa
pers are out in the Third Ward for
DR.. ]. c. Doolittle and Louis Vesper-
man, both being such excellent citizens
that the voter will have a difficult
time to choose between them. L. G.
Hickok is mentioned as candidate
from the second ward for the alder
manic position with no opposition to
date. Friends of L. d. Eastman have
papers out in his favor as candidate
for supervisor from the Second Ward.
1t is said that papers in favor of
Edgar Croft and Edgar Grebe have
been circulated, both men residing
in the first ward and both men of
known ability.
r. G.. Willis will be a candidate for
assessor again, and F. B. Calls has
consented to make the race for city
clerk As both these men have prov
en- their efficiency, opposition is not
looked for.
John Dobson will be a candidate
for county supervisor from the First
Ward according to one authority, but
no other candidates for this position
are as yet spoken of.
William Webb has definitely an
nounced that he is not a candidate for
the mayoralty Office although many
friends desired him to run. Papers
have been circulated in favor of S.
H. Taylor of this city and Mr.. Taylor
will probably be a candidate at the
April 4th election
Thursday, March 30, is the last day
allowed by law for filing of the papers
with the city clerk.

new CITY HALL DEAL
GETS PROMPT ACTION
City Fathers Act In Favor of
Proposition at Special Meeting.
Limited Publication Time Prevents
Vote Mt Regular Election Com
mittee Still On the Job.

Mayor w. J. Bailie called a special
meeting of the council last Tuesday
evening, with the purpose of consid-
ering proposition to bond the city
of Lancaster for the erection of a
municipal building, and if deemed adj
visable, to direct by resolution, the
city clerk to call a special election
for the purpose of submitting to the
electors of said CITY the question of
bonding said city for said purpose.
Mayor Bailie presided, and Alder
men Croft, Gault, Horsfall, Richard
son, Doll and Wepking, answered the
roll call.
III. q. Schreiner, chairman of the
business mems committee, explained
the attitude and conclusions of the
business men favOring the erection
OF municipal building and auditor
INN, and asked the city council to
consider the matter and pass a reso-
luton as prepared by the city attor-
ney.
City Attorney T. @. Meyer read a
resolution citing in effect, the demand
for a suitable building, and specify
ing that the question of bonoing the
city for $4,000 to defray the cost of
erecting a suitable municipal build
ing, including a public auditorium
and opera house, be submitted to the
voters at the election on April 4th.
Motion was made and seconded,
that the resolution be adopted, and
at roll call all aldermen voted Eyes"
A notice of special election was
prepared as ordered by the city cOun-
Gil and duly signed by the city clerk,
and supposedly delivered to the Tel
Ter Publication company for legal
publication. Through some error
the resolution was printed instead of
the election notice, and consequently
it will be necessary to go over the
matter again.
A consultation of the legal aspects
of the case was held Thursday, and
it was found that even had the prop
er notice been published it would not
have been legal on account of the law
requiring seven days elapse following
third publication of an electiO notice
before such election can be held.
AS there remains only three publ
cation days in either city paper prior
to the April 4th election, and a
lapse of seven days following the
last publication impossible, it became
obvious that the bond issue election
would have been invalid should the
election have taken place on the date
mentioned.
The committee has the matter in
hand and will see that all the legal
aspects of the case hold water.
