Motions and countcr.motlons, with almost a down divisions, .were Im portant features tf .ithe proceedings. Mrs. Flower, Mr. Beebo, Miss Jinrt, nnd Mr. Rose-ritual lulvocated the cause of the accused .principal. Mr. Rcvcll, Mr. Trade, Mr. Ilrenun, and Mr. Boldenwcck took the wldu of the pcoiile. When the Mihject oumo up-early in tho evening there was a dlslnclini- tlon to net, and the question was de ferred until the regular business was transacted. President McLaren tailed attention to the rule requiring oxecu- "tlvo session. Through 'the hilluonco of the, able and, talented Mr. Jtoscn- thai, this rule was suspended, and l.thc reporters and spectators re mained. Tlie able and talented Mr. Rosen thal moved to strike out nil reler- encc do tho subject of dismissal from tho .majority report against Jfcrs. .Bradford. It Jarred on his feelings, 10 to kweck .promptly moved lontliulls motion on the the Hoard took Mr. jcn.week's advice In preference to Rosenthal's, as ithe following rote will show: For Tabling Brcnan, Badcnoch, Revel), Boldenwcck, Gunderson, Duggnu, Cusuck, Halle, Dluthordt, Goet?, aud Trudo 11. Against Hurt, ltosentlutl, Flower, IVanw-r, Heebe, Mallette, and Mc Laren 7. The main question was then tukeu up. At tills Juncturesevoral "petitions," gotten up by Mrs. Bradford und her friends, were presented and deposited In the unromantie pigeon-holes of tho clerk's desk without reading. A feeling of genuine pity euiue Ir many when Mr. Beebo, who has Irn himself lop-Bided running Dund to newspaper oltlcos, took the Jloor, I: Hit famous expression of Uotlanco made the gas Jets blink, but l) ho was not 'liappy. Frovn'thc Inside recess of Msvapa clous tailor-made coat Mr. Beebo took out ten rolls of wall paper, worth at least 1 cents a roll. On the reverse of the vall paper Mr. Becho had written a speech. Mr. Bcclte read his speech. It was the same speech which had boon printed In sundry -nllegcd dallies devoted to the Bradford Interests. Efforts were made to choke Mr. 'Bccbc off, In the Interest of his hcaltli, at Intervals of half an hour. They were unavailing. Mr. Bijcbc tlnlshcd his speech. It was a long one, and charged one of Mm. Bradford's pupils with having oaten icecream once upon a time! Awful boy! Mr. Boldciiwcdk made a sensible and manly spcci'h, based upon the evidence of citizens aud teachers, In favor of Mrs. Bradford's removal. Mr. Brcnau -spoke against Mrs. Bradford In a calm, dispassionate manner that carried conviction with It, especially when he quoted the strong evidence against the principal. Tho handsome and talented Mr. Rosenthal, -who Is becoming quite prollclent as a speaker, desired to add to his histrionic fame by reading some selections from Tiik Kaoi.l'. While It is true that Mr. Rosenthal is not personally an admirer of Tiik Eaolk, It is also true that when it comes to an article of real merit his appreciation of truth rises above his prejudices. He had found an article In Tin: Eaoi.i-: Just suited to his style of declamation, and having given the noccsarylme to practice, Mr. Rosen- thai was about to please the audience by reading it In his well-known dra matic style. But fate ruled otherwise. Mr. Rosenthal was ciuclly called dow u. He did not read, and the god of eloquence Is In mourning. But Mr. Rosenthal made a speech Just the same. Koine pleasant Interruptions by Mr. Trade gave Mr. RoenlhaI an opportunity to cause laughter. Mr. Trudo reviewed the testimony and pointed out thestiong, uucolored evidence given against tho school principal by the teacheis, none of whom weru actuated by malice or envy. Ho emphasized tho fact that the evidence clearly pioved that Mrs. Bradford had uod her position to further the salo of patent medicines and merchandize. Mr. He veil took the same ground against Mrs. Bradfoid. After much parllmeutlary sparring, Mr. Bevell offered the following leso lutlon as a substltuc tor tho whole question, and it was adopted: Resolved, That Mrs. Itradford bo suspended for a perloi of three mouths, and when reinstated she shall be sent to somo other school. This was the vote on tho resolu tion: Yeas Brcnan, Warner, Gunderson, Gootz, McLaren, Miss Burt, Bevell, Gusuck, Mallette, lladcuoch, Mrs. Flower, Hallo, Trudo Bl.

Jaok Frost Will Knock Out Cholera Besides, It Takes Time to Make It Epi demic. A Timely Statement from tho Stato Board of Health. Dr. B. M. (irlitlu, Chairman of the Illinois Board of Health, and Dr. F. W. RoMly. Secretary, were In com munication with the New York health olllclals until a late hour Tliuisday. As a result of the In formation obtained the following statement vas authorized: "While the Intelligence or live deaths fiom Asiatic cholera among residents not immigrants of New York City, one of tlioso eight days ago, was a most unpleasant surprise to Western hcaltli olllclals, still there is nothing In the situation to cause panic or even excitement. The de lay in admitting the existence of the disease was natuial, but it docs not appear that any precaution has been neglected on this account. From the II r.-t suspicion the cases have lieeu t rented as though it was known thai they were genuine chol era. Premises have been disinfected, inmates kept (iuiliirstrlclsurvolllaneo., and the most rigid care has Itccn ex ercised, in Its own interests New York cannot afford to haveany spread from these cases nor loom others which may he now lea-ouahly antici pated before tho advent of cold weather. As to any Immediate danger to the couutiy from these sporadic, cases there are Uicmj facts to lu considered: "1. The cases have oceuirod among a clas of people not likely to start au exodus from tho localities and so to spicad the infection. '"2. As alieady recited, reliance may be placed on the natural Interest of New York to make every cffoi t to pievcnt any spicad. ".I. Kvoiy day brings us nearer the season when cholera, at least In this country, Is chocked by low tem perature. "1. The history of tho disease on this continent shows thut, while it has repeatedly effected a foothold on the mainland in tho fall of the year, It has never been until icpealed in troductions that it lias spread as au epidemic. In tho epidemic of 1S.V1 It took eighteen months after the llrst cases on the mainland to o licet a lodgment aud become epidemic. "."i. The sanitary defenses of the country were never mi well oigaulmi to battle with and suppress au epi demic of any preventable disease. "The practical deduction Irom these considerations Is that, as already said, there Is no occasion for even ex citement. What remains, as the lesson of the situation, Is that every community and commonwealth should realize in practical cil'ort that Its im munity from the cholera, as from other preventable disease, rests with itself. It must work out Its own salvation aud not rely upon any vicarious protection of quarantine. Every source of tilth, or pollution or water, soil, or air, must receive prompt aud effective attention, and not only must municipalities exert themselves but every house holder for himself must put his own house aud premises In order. X'o cleanly city, town or village with a proper disposal of ex .reta and with a puro water supply noed apprehend u visitation of chol era. In all human probability thcro remains from now until next spring in which to perfect tho work of sani tation already well under way throughout tho length and breadth of Illinois.

Tin: name of Daniel Dougherty must now lie added to the long list of distinguished men whom death has claimed as its victims during tho present year. Mr. Dougherty was a groat lawyer and a magnetic orator. Ills grandest triumphs were -achieved as an advocate addressing a Jury. There tho owor of his remarkable eloquence had full play, and his ap peals were materially aided in their effectiveness by his extraordinary knowledge of human nature. It has been said of him that before he began to speak he made It' a point 'to ac quaint himself Intimately with the character of every man in tho Jury box his iolltlcs, religion, national ity, 4i ml other distinguishing traits an'l Vi1k hobbies, weaknesses, .and ec centricities, as well, If he had them. Mr. Dougherty's career at the bar was highly successful. In iolltlcs he was a doctrinaire Democrat, but he never sought nor hold public olllce. Ills speech placing General Hancock In nomination I'm- President or the I'nlted States, made at tho National Democratic Convention in Cincin nati In 1880, was a superb orat trial effort, which attracted wide atten tion aud elicited much deserved praise. He also nominated (1 rover Cleveland for tho Presidency at tho St. Louis convention In ISSS. Kviiitv day piles fresh proof that women ate In the race. A Chicago glil want to Le a Jockey.

Pam'iiai., who is a re porter on a Chicago paper, leigued in sanity so admirably that Judges aud doctors wcro deluded into sending her to an asylum as a raving maniac. This was Just what she wanted, and it enabled her to got into the myste ries of Insuno treatment, write It up and expose tho nefarious doings of tho olllclals. Of course, they will now plead that she was mad as a March hare and only imagined tho things she writes about. A Toiionto lawyer, said to be one of tho rebels of 1M7, seems to think the United States are still In their swaddling clothes. He is so wrathy over the President's relallatroy meas ure that he wants the Canadian mil itia thoroughly organized and oquliv pod to repel the threatened Invasion or "American paid desperadoes." After frantically recalling the action of the brave Canadians who sprang to arms In 181 L, he closes his absurd ebullition by shouting that "Britons nnd Canadians cannot be slaves." No, but some of them can be "heap dam phools," it appears. A plain American cltlen, whoso courage has already been demon strated during a term In the regular army, has proved It to be actual heroism by marrying the daughter of the late Sitting Bull. The young lady Is an heiress, having boon In formally dowered with the paternal blankets, complexion, and temper. She once saved her husband's lite, but to cause him to regret this tboughtruliiess she has only to live up to the traditions or the Bull family.

If there is any such warrant for telling him to get ready for tho noose, putting the death watch over him, building his scaffold, and then undoing it all wlththeslmpleresiiltof being enabled to do It again, kuowedge of the ract has been withheld from common peo ple. It can hardly be concealed some where in the clause that refers In a deprecatory way to " ruel aud un usual" punishment.
