BUSINESS COLLEGE ENDS SUC­CESSFUL TERM.

The spring sessions of the Little Falls business college will come to a close today noon, completing one of the most successful terms of college work in the history of the institution. Tnis was a banner term for the school in more ways than one. During this school year more floor space was leased, until now the college occupies the entire third story of the large Realty Improvement company build­ing ; new and up-to-date fixtures were installed in the banking department; a number of new machines were added to the equipment of the typewriter room, bringing up the total to twenty-six standard machines; all the rooms of the college were entirly remodeled and many other changes for the better were made. The enrollment of the school has also substantially increased, being at present about 142 students. Despite the unfavorable time a large number of graduates have been placed in responsible positions, and are mak­ing good.

Prof. Ralph Millard attributes the success of the college to a judicious amount of advertising, and expects to secure an enrollment of 200 students, when the college re-opens on August 31st for the fall term . . '

The Maccabees will have a big June 13th. All the state officers will be here, and a class will be initiated. The state officers will wampiifr the new ritual.

STROM SELLS HOLDINGS IN GIANT GRIP. *

President A. E. Strom of the Giant Grip Horseshoe company has sold out his holdings in this company to John Kohler of Frazee, secretary of the com­pany, and will resign the presidency of the company next Monday. He will then move from this city with his family. Mr. Kohler will move with his family to this city, and will take active management of the factory.

Next Tuesday at the opera house, the well known Sappho Quartette. Everyone should hear them. General admission 25 cents. Reserved seats 85 cents. Seats can be reserved at the Wulling Drug Store. Mrs. Ida May Paulson leads the Sappo Ladies' Quar­tette, which alone secures the success of one of the best musical entertain­ments this season.

to all who attend, and no show be allowed to operate, where it charged an admission fee, during fair days.

T. C. Gordon then suggested that booths of a uniform size be con­structed and owned by the street fair association, and that for the coming street fair they be placed in the center of the street instead of on the sides of the streets close to the sidewalks, as has been the case in former events of this nature. These could be built so as to make a double row, that is, so that it would face both sides of the street. He further suggested that these booths, which would contain the j various displays, be so placed that; t h e y w o u l d s t a r t a t t h e i n t e r s e c t i o n o f ' Broadway and First streets and extend

j form there in solid rows in the four different directions, down and up

; Broadway and First street as the case ' may be Most of those present were in favor of adopting the suggestions made by Mr. Gordon, but some thought that the booths would cost consideable. It was pointed out, how­ever, that after the first year they would cost very little to be put up, as they would be constructed so as to

fecilitate the putting them up and the taking them down again.

Austin Kosolosky said that while he favored the idea of placing the booths in the centre of the street, he sug­gested that instead of being placed in solid rows according to Mr. Gordon's

. plan, that they be placed in different | sections so as to be more nearly op-| posite to the stores giving prizes for ' the different exhibits. He was willing, however, to try the solid row plan this year, if the majority so willed, and if this plan did not prove satisfactory, some other way next year.

A motion made by George Schroeder that the booths be built, and, at the street fair, placed in solid rows as outlined, and that the live stock exhibit will be on broad way near the bridge, was seconded and carried.

Later plans after the meeting, which will undoubtdely be followed, are, to have the booths placed in sec­tions instead of solid rows, they to be distributed as follows: Four down" the centre of Broadway, westward | from the intersection above men­tioned, "and three each placed in like manner in the three other directions from this starting point.

It was also planned at this meeting to offer separate prize for exhibits of fancy and truck gardeners, and the farmers; also between the fancy poul­try raisers and the farmers.

Enough of the push and boost spirit was cultivated at this meeting to carry anything through to success, if kept growing.
