that was the sentiment of the majority
of the teachers.

The case of Fran VS. school district
No. 5 was disposed of last evening.
Fram's demurrer to the districts answer
was sustained and writ of mandamus
granted. This reinstates Fran in
school. Judge Ellis appeared for the
district and Dunn and Herr for Fran.
The trouble arose over Fram's refusal
to put up his books while the bible was
being read in the morning at the open
ing exercise: he was expelled by the
school board whereupon he applied for
a writ of mandamus compelling the
board To reinstate him, claiming that
expelling HIM on account of religious
belief was unconstitutional. The court
coincided with these views and the
writ was granted. Chas Rumsey saws
the district will probably appeal the
case to the supreme court. This would
be very foolish and would only heap
additional costs on the district and it
stands the taxpayers in hand to enter
strong protest,

temperature until the next morning
when the wind subsidized the tliefmome-

this point the wind was unaccompanied

the snow fall was heavy and badly
drifted, blockadiDg trains and holdin g
