one or two typewriters that we could
rent between now and next September
to the right parties.
KIvu Rushton and l'muiii Itargman
of the college made a decision for
Christ at the M. I", meetings, Tuesday
night. No student can he the best
student without standing for right at
all times.
The Chautauqua is a sure thing, we
are told. This is one of the advance
steps that lied Cloud is taking toward 1
a linger anil better city. II all reports
are true, the program will soon be
published in the papers.
Hans Nicholsen, who has been a
.student in the business college at
times since its opening, closed this
spring" win k this week ami will put 1
in his spare time in the restaurant
which he lias ptn chased from W. S.
llense. No student we have ever had
bus mane more progress than has Mr.
Nicholsen. His steady, tireless way
of keeping at a thing has surely won
for him the respect of every one of our
students. He will succeed in business
as he has succeeded in school.

Ordinance Providing for Numbering

The ordinance providing for put-

has heen adopted by the council ami
approved by the mayor.
Streets running north and south
will be numbered each way from First

will be numbered each way from Web

Odd numbers will be on the west and
I north sides of the streets, even num

of giving two numbers to each lot was
adopted. This will cause confusion to

WHO REAPS THE BENEFIT?
Will the Present Generation Alone Be
Benefited by n New Court House?
livery time a proposition to vote
bonds is submitted to the people, there
is always urged the objection that we
use piling up tlebt.s for our posterity
to pay.
Well, why shouldn't posterity bear
a share of the burden of building rail
roads, school houses, court houses and
other public institutions?
Who reaped the benefits from the
lailroad bonds, voted thirty years ago?
Not the men who voted the bonds, but
their children ami grandchiltlicn, who
now own the property the value of
which has doubled and trebled since
the atlventof the railroad. Why should
n't they help pay?
The Mime argument holds good on
the court house proposition. Future
generations will icap the benelits of
the protection so wisely provided by
the people ttf today, as we are leaping
the harvest sown a generation or two
ago. We work ami stint ourselves in
order that we may luy up somcthing
for our children, ami it is no more
than simple justice that they should
help pay for the benelits they receive

Allen Carpenter and llurke A Camp
bell of Imperial, to recover SUM) paid
by .Joshua Unshttm to defendants on u.
land ileal, was decided in favor of tlu
pluintill' last Saturday. The evidence
in the case showed some of the maneu
vers by which laud deals are made.
A. II. Carpenter of this city took
loshua Kushton out to Imperial to
look at sonic land. Mr Uushtou was.
introduced to llurke X. Campbell, real
estate dealers of Imperial, who sold
him a piece of land, on which Mr.
Uushtou paid tM) down. .Mr. Itush
ton later became illssatislicd with his.
bargain, and in order to get out of the
ileal he was induced to take nnother
tputrter section for which he agreed?
to pity SI000. In addition to the l."(
which he had already paid he put it
SI 000 more, the balance to be paid
when the deeds were tlellveietl, April
