The Annual Teachers and Pupils
Meeting of the Belleview District,
held last Saturday afternoon and
evening was a very successful aft air,
in every respect. All the teachers ex-
cept two we're present at the after
noon session, where they spent a most
profitable season exchanging ideas,
plans, etc. Some exceedingly inter-
esting papers were read and COM
mented upon. MI. McColl, of Belle
view school, in a most genial manner,
says that all necessary arrangements
we're made for the comfort and
pleasure of the visitors. County Sup
erintendent G.. W. Hanson presided.
He is always ready and anxious to
give his time, talent and energy for
the welfare of the boys and girls OF
Iron County. In the evening a most
excellent Literary program was rem
dered by the pupils of the various
schools in the district. Each acquit-
ting himself in a very c~reditable man
ner, rejecting much credit on the re-
spective teachers. At the close of the
c%hildren's program Prot. W. M. Oak
erson of Jefferson City gave a pointed
discourse appealing to the parents in
behalf of the rising generation, and
very clearly showing the explicit need
of a High School in this commun ity
He gave figures showing that the cost
of consolidation and maintaining a
High School would be but slightly
more than at present. Mr.. Oakersor
has been identified with public school,
work in Missouri for a good many
years, and his remarks are certainly
worthy our careful consideration.

Well, I guess by this time Republic

We will soon be the banner state.
Our manufactured products will find

to carry on schools, build good roads

our taxes will be low.

Arc boys. He was loved by all who
knew him. He protested religion I'M
der Rev. Oscar Taylor's preaching
several years ago, and has lived a de-
voted Christian aver since. He never

Annapolis Greetings.

Dear Mr.. Editor-Inotice in the COL
umns of your valuable paper the avid
ity of Mr.. "Bulletin" to protect one
Sylvester Kitchell.
Now, Mr.. "Bulletin," we are all
eware that Mr.. Kitchell was one Of
the Democratic judges and ought to
have known his duty. Mr.. "Bulletin,"
will you please be kind enough to in
form Mr.. Kitchell that the polls should
have opened at six O'Clock A. M, on
election day? Mr.. Kitchell stayed
out SO late that we thought he was
not coming. He did not arrive at the
polls until 1880 A. M. The people had
begun to vote before he arrived.
Then we were kind enough to excuse
one clerk and let Mr.. Kitchell serve;
this clerk had been sworn in to fill
Mr.. Kitchell's vacancy. Then he
(Kitchell) had the audacity to tell the
distributing judge that when he made
out a voters ticket that the judge
should take him to the booth. Now,
Mr.. "Bulletin," l think you had better
take our honorable justice of the
peace Is. Kitchell) under a school of
instructions before another election
occurs.
I also notice that you say the teach
er will not let the students say, "Hur-
rah for Wilsonl" That may be a fact.
1 guess he thinks it not proper to
have such on the school grounds.
note that you say the kids are going
to charivari the teacher on the 4th Of
March. Now I'll bet my old straw
hat that If a parcel Of young goats
goes around that teachers house thai
he (the teacher) will be the biggest
goat in the bunch.

to make an order something ike the
following:
ORDER OF THE COUNTY COURT.
Now, on this - day The
Court being in regular session, it was
made known to the Court that steps
were being taken with a view Of petit
tioning this court to call an election
for the purposes Of voting on the
proposition to issue bonds of the
county for road purposes.
After due consideration the Court
finds that there are many matters in
connection with the said proposed
bond issue which require the expendi-
ture of money and a large amount of
time, labor, and investigation, which
the Court believes may be obtained
and accomplished with a materially
decreased expense to the county by
means of the three men from each
township in the county which said
committee hereafter named has sign
ed its willingness to act and without
compensation.
The Court deems it advisable to APP
point a committee which shall have
power to organize by the election of
such officers as said committee NAV
find necessary, and that said COM
mittee have the power to act through
an executive committee composed
of its own members, selected by the
committee.
The said Committee is requested to
determine the approximate number
of miles of road in the county to
which the expenditure of the pro-
ceeds of a bond issue should be APP
piled, where such roads are located,
the character of the road improve
ments to be made, and the a%pproxi-
mate cost thereof. The committee is
further requested in case the voters
of the county authorize this Court to
issue bonds for road purposes at the
election, to at in conjunction, plan
ming, engineering, securing speciica-
tions and cost estimates of roads, cul-
verts, bridges, ETC., and also in the
matters of grading, graveling, build
ing or otherwise improving the coun-
ty roads.
Vacancies which may occur here
after in the committee shall be filled
by appointment of this Court, upon
the suggestion of the Committee.
Said Committee shall report it's
proceedings hereunder upon notice by
this Court or clerk thereof.
For any further information write
to DR.. j. L. Hickman, Brunot, who
will be glad to reply to all inquiries.

LELAND'S SON
OBJECTS TO WILL
Says Paralysis Disquali-
fes One Executor
Probate Admitted.

Louis L. Leland, son Of the late
Colonel Francis L. Leland, president OF
the New York National Bank and
patron of art, who four years ago gave
81, 100000 to the Metropolitan Museum
of Art, made several objections in the
Surrogates' Court yesterday regarding
the estate Of his father, which is valued
at more than 100000. One was 10
having DR.. Timothy NJ. Cheesman, Of
Garrison, N. Y, act as an executor.
Leland said that DR.. Cheesman was
disqualified by reason of stroke OF
paralysis which he recently suffered.
Control of two banks, it was said,
Is bound up In the securities left by
Colonel Leland. The United States
Trust Company was also appointed
an executor in the will of the testatcr.
Mr.. Leland, the Directing son, told OF
a visit to the home Of DR.. Cheesman on
April 6. Mrs. Cheesman asked him to
wait until her husbands nurse got him
ready. The executor conyersed only IN
a whisper, said Leland, as though with
great effort, and his sentences were
short. DR.. Cheesman told Leland that
L. Latin Kellogg, counsel for the exec
utors, would act for him, and that ne
(Cheesman) could sign no papers.
Leland asked the court not TO grant
letters testamentary to DR.. Cheesman
and suggested that he be asked TO APP
pear personally before the Surrogate,
so that the court could pass upon MS
qualifications. Surrogate Fowler de-
cided that he would receive the testl-
mony Of DR.. Cheeseman's physician.
Leland also made objection to Ger.
tain trust funds created by Colonel
Leland. He said that they were not
valid because they extended the PERIOD
OF distribution over two lives IN being
Colonel Leland created five trust FUNDS
the principal to be divided when his
Youngest grandchild reaches the age or
twenty-one. This, it was alleged, was
an unlawful effort to suspend the
mower Of alienation. The life tenants
Of the trust funds are all young people,
and il was contended that 1t might be
many years before the youngest grand
child is born, and this particular bene-
ficiary therefore could not be consid-
cred a life in being. Therefore Leland
asked that the court decide that his
father died intestate.
Surrogate Fowler decided to admit
the will to probate, but will hear argu-
ment on the construction Of the article
creating the trust funds, which might
be construed to mean the youngest
grandchild living at the time Of the
death Of Colonel Leland.
