The Property in the School Line Belonging to the City of St. Paul. What It Costs to Teach the Young- Idea How to Shoot. The annual report of the board of educa tion has jus: been submitted to the mayor and city council. 'It is ' a very voluminous document and its salient features are pub lished below: New School Sites and Improvements During the past year the board came Into possession of lots 12, l". 14 and 15. Bnnde's Park addition, which were donated by Al bert 11. Bunde and wife. The various im provements made' during the past year have made it possible to meet ihe requirements for school room facilities for some time to come and comprise the following: In the First ward the eight-room John Kricksou schoc! building will fully relieve the overcrowd condition of the Cleveland school and wiil probably meet the demands of the Arlington Hills district. The building; is erected on the corner of Edgerton ami Jenks street, and is of the most modern style of architecture. To provide school accom modations for the population residing in the vicinity of Lake Phalen. the W. T. Sherman school was fitted up. I; is a two-room building situated on the corner of Edgerton and Ivy streets, purchased last year. Iv the Second ward ample accommodations have been pro vided by a four-room addition to the Sibley school building unci a four-room frame build ing erec.cci ou the site in Bunde's Park addi tion—the latter to relieve the Van Buren and S. S. Taylor school districts. In the Fifth ward the overcrowded condition has been relieved by a four-room addition to the Mon roe and a four-room addition to the Adams school buildings. In the Sixth ward similar relief has been given m the Lafayette school district by a four-room frame addition to the building." In the Seventh ward a six-room addition to the Webster and a four-room ad dition to the Irving schools have furnished all the facilities demanded. In the Eighth ward the eight-room .1. T. Maxfieid school building, erected on the corner of St. An thony avenue and St. Aibans street, will fully provide for the needs of this district for some lime to come. The building is of mod em design i.ad lirst-elass as to material and construction. In the erection of these vari ous buildings and additions the rules of health have received the first consideration, and. while solidity, durability and capacity lone received duecare. exterior ornamenta tion has not been altogether overlooked, and the new buildings are equal to any in this regard.

No. 300 Nicollet avenue, Minneapolis; No. 104 East Third street, St. Paul, and Union Depots in both cities. A CORNER ON HAY. Prices Jump Upon Demand From the South. Charles A. Brown and T. A. Bethune, of Omaha, are in St. Paul buying all the hay they can lay their hands on. The secret is the shortage of last season's hay crop in lowa, Nebraska and Missouri, and the sup ply has run so low in the latter stale, espe cially, that any sort of grass folder is worth from $15 to Sio a ton in St. Louis. In Kansas City there is also a bay famine, and all sorts of fancy prices are being paid there. The prevailing price in st. Paul for first-class hay is $7.50 per ton. The foreign buyers have corralled all the hay to be bought in and around the Twin Cities at the above price and the result will probably be a big jump in prices. It is understood that about 500 ions have been contracted for by the Omaha people. "We've All Seen Him. The man who goes in shabby, unsuc cessful-looking, discouraged, and comes out stylish, prosperous-looking and en ergetic from the "Plymouth;" so much difference have that spring overcoats and new Derby made, not only in his appearance, but in himself. CLERKS CELEBRATE. The Union Grows Great and Re joices Accordingly. The retail clerks' union held amostgrati fyi ng social at labor headquarters, last night. . Au interesting address was delivered by Rev. W. S. Vail, who laid stress upon the point that a new era in economics is being rapidly ushered in. the underlying principle of which is that the voice of the people is the voice of God, and that.it is right that the people should be educated to look to the interest of the toil ers. President Morrow, of the St. Paul union spoke of the growth of the clerks union as being very rapid and asked that people be urged to encourage the ' early clos ing movement by refraining from evening purchases or daaling at stores that do not close evenings. An interesting feature of the cntertaimnet was the singing of a num ber of songs by Miss Mary Griffith a tot of nine years, who played her own accompani ments and was encored more than a dozen times The Twin City Mandolin and Guitar club rendered several" seletions iv an artistic manner and was profusely applauded. Lou Walsh declaimed satisfactorily, M. Dellifield, showed good talent on the piano for an amateur. It was nearly 11 o'clock when the seats were cleared and' dancing began which continued until midnight. SIREN'S KISS. A LYRIC STAR "Who May Arise and Claim St. Paul His Home. There is at present" residing in Milan a young St. Paulite who is destined to make his mark in operatic circles. Many persons will remember Tony Wagner, the young man who acquired local recognition by his ap pearance with the Andrews Opera company some few years ago. • Wagner possessed a very tine basso voice, . and was deter mined to make a bid for undy ing fame as a successful lyric artist. Some months ago he went to Home and then proceeded to Milan for the purpose of study ing under the famous masters located' there. Last week his relatives in St. Paul received a letter, from Tony, in which he stated that he was making great progress, in his vocal studies under !>^r. ,Castiglione, who has earned a world reputation as a trainer of the vocal organs. "• Wagner's . voice ' has drawn the attention of the impresario of the greatest opera house in the world. La Scala, Milan, ami nex"t season Tie will make his ap pearance upon the stage ot-the opera. house, which has witnessed the debut ol most of the great lyric stars of the day. ... Business men have no time to waste. Drop into the "Plymouth," pick up "Full and Fashion,'" ask your wife to read up the spring overcoats. Take elevator to second , floor, tell the coat and price, try it on, pay from 58 to $35, and there you are. , ;.-■. -". ■.;-.„ >>>!*; SIREN'S KISS. ANOTHER BRIDGE VICTIM.

She had left her home between 3 and 4 o'clock in the morning, and as soon as her absence was noticed her relatives and friends instituted search for her.
