Colonel Luce Says.

Minneapolis, March 2S.-Minneapo-

They hung to the rafters. They jam

let them get down in the arena to find
seats on the field guns which line the
hall.
1t was the last mobilization of the
First regiment, the last review, &C.

that within 80 days the regiment either
will be at the Mexican border on pa

"Friend of King Edwards"

Mankato. = A laboring man, cup
posedly demented, giving Dan Dono-

Cashier F. w. Darsow led him out
of the bank and closed the door, but
he returned, drew a revolver and de-
manded his money. Darsow parleyed
with him while a police officer, who
had been summoned, was arriving,
and in the meantime group of spec

these, Rudolph Ario, succeeded in dis

will ever attain the heights he

long, low ball off the tee. but his
direction is a little uncertain, and he
still fiubs his shot occasionally.
In his desire to get distance with
his wooden clubs, he pulls himself
up when at the top of the swing with
a motion that is entirely "out OF or.

from the fate that usually follows this
fault Most players who do this either
hit the turf behind the ball or hit the

MAY BUILD "TEACHERAGE"
Alberta, Mimi, Considers Acceptance
of Funds From Board to Construct
Home for Educators.

Alberta.-This city, which has one
OF the most efficient consolidated
schools in Minnesota, is considering
the acceptance of $4,000 from the
General Education board to assist In
building a $4,000 'teacherage," or
home for teachers. If it accepts the
offer, it will add $4,000 to the value
of it's school property without increas-
ing the taxes.
Alberta, like practically all of the
consolidated school districts, faces the
problem of what has been called ''the
suitcase teacher" Teachers take pO-
sitions in these districts and then be-
cause the school is in the country find
1t difficult to obtain satisfactory &C
commodations. Consequently, on the
first call to some town school, they
move on.
1t was to remedy this difficulty that
President George E. Vincent Of the
University of Minnesota persuaded
the general education board to set
aside several thousand dollars to aid
in building teacherage in Minnesota.
