Two Winning Contestants Leu Than
Hundred Voter Apart When' Con
; ' teat Cloaea Preparationa Almost
, Complete for Celebration.
, The exciting oonteat that bu been in
progress In Be John for the past two
weeks for ths honor of representing
Ths Qoddess of Liberty" and "The
! Queen of too Day" at .the . Fourth ot
July ' celebration came to la cloae yes
terday afternoon. Miss Alma Vllllnere
: received the highest vote and - will rep
reetnt the "Goddess." and Ulii Anna
Perrine, receiving the second highest
-vote, will be the "Queen." - Tne contest
Iwas very clone, there being less tbaa
"190 votes ' difference between the twe
winners. Nothing that has occurred In
' BU Johns for a long time created such
' ' universal Interest as thla contest. Tbe
; partisans of the young women ssplr-
- , ants wers active la -securing votes for
their - favorites, making the result
'doubtful until the count waa -almost
'completed. The St. Johns people have
1 made every preparation for a fine cele
bration of the .fourth. Ample arrange
meats have been made to entertain the
f large .ta-owd that -Is already .assured.
. ' H. W. Brlce, l who resigned from the
... EC Johns school some days ago, was re-
. elected at the school meeting held last
' night. Sir. Brlce was highly esteemed
j ; by the St. Johns people. . He made, they
.say, a capable director, and waa always
i ort the lookout for the best interests of
' the school. T. W. Potter waa sleeted to
fill the vacancy caused by the resigns
. : tlon of Director Ogden. The board will
meet at an early data to consider bids
.' submitted - for the construction of a
' three-room addition to the present school
' house; .the bid that ' waa formerly ac
cepted was- cancelled by the old dlrso-
tors In response to a general demand
.upon the part of St Johns resldenta
There la a growing belief that a. mis
' take Is being made In adding to the
1 school building. . Many residents of Bt
j Johns believe that a aits ahoutd be pur
chased and another school bouse built
In a different part of the district. The
; school district Is filling up with people
so rapidly that even with' a three-room
: addition to the present building. It Is
. said. It, will be Impossible to aocommo-
date the pupils who- will present tbem
: selves for enrollment at the opening of
the fall term- It Is. not Improbable
thyf n ttffort will be mane to Influo.
, tbe directors to abandon - the- proposed
three-room addition and proceed to build
another building. , .
Mors' or less resentment has
i aroused on the 'east side because of the
.complacency with "which - City Health
'Officer C. It Wheeler seems to regard
the water in the slough that heads up
near . Hawthorne park. ,:, The water la
this slough Is looked ufton br those res
Ments whose homes are M the vicinity
streets as a positive menace to the pap
11c health.- They have been persistent
. ia their complaints, -but claim they can
get no relief except tbs doubtful eon
- eolation of an occasional certificate of
, good character for the water la the
slough. Issued ' by the city health de-
partmetrt. which -they say Is not reas
suring to those who have to smell the
foul odors 'arising from the depths of
... this slough, look at ths green scum that
- covers Its -surface, and be aware of nu
' merous open- vaults and dump-plies os
- Ita banks.
A committee was appointed at ths
.last meeting of tbe city council to de
vise some means of draining this water.
.It IS understood the committee, has for
' mulated a plan which they will submit
to ths next meeting of ths council. - .
