District School Notes.
Reference was made recently io these
columns to a little misunderstanding iu
French Settlement with regard to the
employment of a teacher for the district
school. Ono -director, Fr.r Ward, re
signed l.ecause of tbe trouble and Henry
Conn was elected to fill the vacancy.
There were 15 votes cast at the meeting
and Conn received 12. Immediately
after the election a meeting of the school
board wis held for the purpose of elect
ing a teacher and Mrs. Clara Mansfield
was chown.
For the school iu district No. 51, Yon-
calla, it seems that two teachers were
chosen and but one was required. Man
ley M. Strawo and Mies Ada Cellera,
both appeared to tbink Ihey were prop
erly employed. There was a disposition
to shirk the responsibility for the mud-
lie from one director to another, arid
finally the whole case was referred to the
county superintendent for adjudication.
Tbe official called for the records bearing
upon the question aud was informed by
the district clerk that there were none.
The law lequires that all actions of
boards of school directors iu order to be
binding must bo itformed at a regular
or special meeting of Ihe board and a
record kept of the proceedings, that a
majority of tbe board must be present to
transact business, and that teachers shall
Ikj elected at such meetings and a record
made of the election, subsequently a con
tract in writing mnst be entered into.
As it appeared from the evidence that
neither of the claimants wpre proerly
elected, it will be necessary for the board
to hold a moo ing and elect a teacher,
and t.iey were also required to eoe that
the proper record of Ihe proceedings were
kept.
Superintendent Waite on Monday vis
ited the school at Riddle and found 45
pupils in charge of Miss Addie Stewart,
doing very nicely.
Circuit Court.
The March term of the circuit court
for the coanty of Douglas, is practically
endedthough it will likely remain nomi
nally in cession for several days. The
jury was discharged on Tuesday last,
after the last of the prisoners in tbe
county jail awaiting trial withdrew his
plea of not guilty ana entered a plea ol
guilty. The jail is now clear with the
exception ol those awaiting transporta
tion to the penitentiary, tlollis sentenced
for eight years. Nelson for four years,
and Burgees for two years. These were
sentenced this morning. Horns had
been convicted of tbe crime of fcrcery
and the court in passing sentence, said
that Hollis was a man of mature years,
understood the principles of business, was
a trusted employe, bad betrayed that
trust, and deserved a severe punishment.
The prisoner took it cool enough in the
court room but when returned to the
cell acted like a caged lion. Nelson bad
nlead em tv to forgery, said he was
years old, he looked older, and the court
evidently thought the statement was not
tbe exact truth. Burgees who bad been
indicted jointly with Satterly, whom he
exonerated and plead gouty, was quite a
uovibu looking cnap wun a lace mai was
far from bad. The court was disposed to
be lenient with mm.

Mrs. Abraham.
Hon. Sol Abraham is very much dis
couraged over the news he ha received
from Mrs. Abraham at Hal 'i more. Her
condition is critical, and Mr. Abraham
received wor I that a cure could only be
ffected by an operation, and then it
was altogether possible that the patient
might die under the operation Tbe
opinion of Mr. Abraham was songht as
to tho sdvisability of adoptiog extreme
measures, anil Ihe information was also
iven that the attending physician
wonld not undertake Ihe task
for a less fue than $5000. Mr. Abraham
telegraphed his reply that he would
leave the matter entirely to the judg
ment cf Dr. Kelly and the wish of Mrs.
Abraham. Mrs. Abraham's neice, it is
sid, if opposed to it, because she
now, she says, lur aunt cannot sur-
iye, but the patient herself announces
he would rather die nnder the opera
tion thtn to return and be eaten np by
inches by the cancerous affliction. The
many friends of tbe family will be
greived to learn of tbe serion tnrn of
affairs and hope tbe case will not torn
out as badly as appears at present.
Latkk. It was concluded that the op-
raUon should be performed today bat
an to Ihe hour of going to press, word
bad not been received concerning tbe
result.

W. S. Byars was re-elected commandant
nd Dr. K. L. Miller physician. There
will be no change in the personnel of tbe
subordinates except that, the command-
ut was ordered by tbe board to employ
a trained nurse for matron of ihe hospi
tals The said nurse shall l-o recom
mended by some hospital and by a repu
table physician, and shall have complete
control of tbe hospital, subject only to
the commandant and the attending phy
sician. The board will conclude its la
bors today. Arrangements were mede
with tbe First National bank hero to cash
