Tha fchool Board Makes Armngements for tho Uoming Elections A BROADWAY BUTCHER LEAVES SUDDENLY A Blufite Who Passed Through the Horrors of the Indian War—Do tors Must Report—Court News—Minor Mention, A special meeting of the school board was held last evening for the purpose of preparing for the coming election of school directors. Members Stewart, Blaxsim, Waite and hoentgen were present. The first thing to be done was to settle upon the appropriation necessary for the schools for the ensuing year. After a full discussion, it was decided to fix the estimates for the different depart- ments as follows : School house fund, £10,000; teachers' funl, £35,000; contingent fund, $25,+ 000, “The question of the fnsurance of the new buildingon the Cochran tract was then taken up. Chairman Waite reported that he had placed £10,000 insuranceon the new building, subject to the action of the board, Blaxsim wanted Waite's action ratified, but Schoent- gen said no; two of the members of the board were absent, viz.. Hunter and Wells, and he 1 want theaction of the committee ratified without giving them a chance to say some- thing about i *And siuce you insist on pushing this busi- ness, Mr. Blaxsim,” ho continaed, *I will ask the secretary to noto the absence of o quorum,” and Mr, overcoat, cane, overshoes and made a br for tne door. “Hold on, there,” shouted Blaxsim, *“I'll drop that matter if you say so."” “Youwll drop if, will you?' returned Schoentgen. “Well then, Tl come back."

Explanations then followed, each member trying to show just what he bad meant, until everyone was fied, iperintendent Sawyer offered his monthly report of attendance, which showed the total attendance of boys during the month of Jan- uary to have been 1,503 and of giris 1 Bills to the amount of §1,500 were allower the most important being that of the Carbon coal company for $19, the Globe publishing company for §25, and of Harle & McCabe for 52, The bill of ‘the Burlington school furni- ture company for £07 for the seating of the Cochran school bouse was referred. Soine discussion took place over the ques- tion of who would make up the registers for the election. R. N. Whittlesey had seen some of the members and gained their con- sent to his making them up, but some of the members seemed 10 be opposed to the idea of doing business in so informal a manner, and after a discussion the sccretary was in- structed to attend to the work. Thebili for this work last ycar amounted to about $125. As a way to choose judges and cierks for election, it was decided that each member of the board should take charge of ono ward and see that the judges and clerks for that ward were appointed and notified. ‘The ards were thus distributed: First, Hunte Sccond, Stewart; Third, Blaxsim: Fourth, Waite: IFifth, Schoentgen ; Sixth, Wells.

The case of Fred Bighmy vs the Union Pacifio railway company, which has beeu on trial in the district court for several days past, was completed yosterday and gven to the jury late in tho afternoon. It has been a hotly contested case, Neariy every doctor has becn on the stand as witness for one side or tho other. The defense of the rail- way company was the existence of arule of the company which forbids em- loyes from making couplings with ther hands. They claim that the plaintift disre- garded this rule, and that therefore they can- not be held responsible.

A murmur of voices mingling with the indistinct strains of the waltz hurry the crowd along., : The masks continually greet one an- other after tho stereotyped fashion, bhe- ginning with “T recognize, you, Don Juan,” or “*How is your wife?’ and end- ing with some stupid bit of gossip. To Mr. Henry H—— this was no longer a novelty, and he felt tremen- dously bored as he wandered through the rooms, swearing at the crowd, the heat and the senseless chatter on all sides, Lost in his thoughts, he had almost gained the door, and drew a, breath of relief as he thought of his comfortable bed and imagined himself in the arms of Morpheus—his never failing friend. , But suddenly this annoyed young man was startled by the tapof a fan on his shoulder.

But only for a moment. Then he re- called the hour of their parting. Her cold words, “All over between us, sounded in his ears; he heard the rus- tling of her silk dress as she proudly drew herself up after these words and went away leaving him in stony despair He slowly lifted her hand from off h arm, looked searchingly into her eyes and asked with a smile: ‘“*Don’t you find this ball dreadfully tedious, countess?” Avperfect fury flamed up in her eyes at these ircnical words, then controlling herself she whispered in a tone of gentle reproof: “Have you onlyscorn for the confi- dence which has’led roken heart to throw itself upon ) “*Pardon me, countess. 1 was never intended for the pilot of an adventuress’ ship,” and realized only too latoby these words that he had been guilty of offe ing her a direct insult, She recoiled, and to hide her anger quickly covered her face again with the mask.

Do not revenge yourself on a defenceless woman,”” “Defenceless! Do you think I have forgotten the weapons you wiclded by which to wound me mortally?” “Thatwas in the past, but today it is different, today I love you—iove you with my whole soul, notwithstanding you dispise and repulse me,” she said, in one hurried breath, as if by the confession to relieve her overburdened heurt. “You love me?
