Tho Peru Normal is to have her long

vii 1 on March 2.
Prof. Clark and all of tho instruc
tors In tho Peru Normal tiro out of
favor with Treasurer Mortonson and
ho has introduced a resolution boforo
tin statu board of education asking
fur tho resignation of thu offending
pedagogues Treasurer Mortonson
charges thorn with being careless of
tho wolfaro of tho fund which sup
ports tho educational institutions, as
well as tho teuchon Uiomsolvos. Tho
troublo is tho outgrowth of tho ' lrttlo
battle betweou iho troasuror and the
bunkers for tho possession of tho stato
warrants.
Mr. Mortonson alleges that, notwith
standing his persistent and earnest
uppeuls, tho touchers invariably send
thoir warrants to local bankers who
nro competitor with him in tho bid
ding. Lust mouth somo $2,000 worth
of stato pupors went across tho
counters of Peru banks at a time when
a portion of tho pommnont school fund
was seeking enilpoymout This, In tho
opinion of i ho stato treasurer, consti
tutes a flagrant disregard for tho In
terests of tho state, and ho bollovcs
that tho tcachors should bo asked to
rosign. '
(Jthor members of tho board do not
look at tho mutter in s serious a light.
While they ugreo with Mr. Moitensen
that not only teuchors but overy stuto
employe dionlo glvo tho treasurer tho
preference, they also boliovo that tho
teachers huvo the iiiullonublo right to
transfer thoir own hold ngs as they
may seo lit. Mr Mortenson's resolu
tion wits tabloil for further considotu
Mon, it being I e loved that thu touchers
would readily comply with tho treas
urer's demands In future, now that
thuy havu been informed that they
may do tho stato it service in that way
Tho 'tato board of public lauds and
buildings has asked for sealed bids for'
on engine and pump at the penitenti
ary Tho board will lot tho contract
at its next, meeting. i
Troasuror Morteusen bus made his
word good, having succeeded in cut
ting down tho state debt just $200,000
so fur this month. In all probability
$50,000 moro will be hew d off boforo
tho mouth ends (
Auditor Wos'on isconfronted wl ha
problem. Tho last legislature appro
priated $80,000 Tor steel ctdls und
soworugo at the statu penitentiary, tho
intention being to purchase 210 cells
for that amount. Iiufore the end of
tho session it was discovered that
satisfactory cages could not bo
procured at tno liguro named and an
attompt was made to amend the bill,
but it seems that It was only partly
successfull Tho stato board lot tho
contract for 15(5 colls and tho sowago
for 8(i!),000, which was well within tho
appropriation but did not provide tho
number of colls culled for in tho bill.
Members of the legtsluturo contend
that tho understanding was that tho
(ill had been amended to allow tho
piirchaso of 'JlOcugos but tho record
does not so read Pressuio was brought
upon tho board to let tho full contract
and creato a deficiency which could bo
corrected at tho noxt session but this
proposal found no favor. Now tho
audi or is in doubt about tho claim as
ho is inclined to tho opinion thu' tho
legislature intomiod not only to fix tho
maximum sum which could bo ex
p ndod upon tho contract but the
price per cugo At any rate, tho stato
has tho colls and all but a half dozen
ot them are in place and occupied, so
the warden and tho board are c ntent
o allow th" contractor and tho nidi
tor to squabble over tho mutter to
the! heart's content.
