COMPULSORY EDUCATION.
A Few Points for Parents Regarding
School Duties.

Perhaps it is not generally known
to parents and guardians of children
in the state of Minnesota that there
is a compulsory education act, which
requires under a penalty of law the
attendance of children at school I'M
der a certain age says the Virginian.
The provisions of the law are man
datory on the part of the parents OF
guardians, unless for certain reasons
the children are excused from attend
ance by the educational authorities.
The law compels all children to at
tend school between the ages of 8 and
Is years, for a period of at least six
weeks of which time shall be consecu-
tive. unless such child or children are
excused.
The grounds for an excuse are, that
the parent or guardian is unable to
clothe the child properly, or that
such child's bodily or mental condit-
ion has been such as to prevent his
or her attendance. 1t is also the
duty Of any school director or presi-
dent of the board of education to in
quire iuto all cases of neglect to COM
ply with the provisions of this
act. The parent or guardian
of children failing to comply with the
law shall upon conviction be guilty OF
a misdemeanor and fined in sum not
less than ten or more than fifty dol
lars for the first offense, nor less than
twenty-five dollars nor more than
fifty dollars for every subsequent Of
Tense. The president or director of a
school board is liable to arrest, prose
cution and a fine for not complying
with this law, in the same amount as
the parent or guardian who neglects
it's provisions. Thus it will be seen
that the law for compulsory educa-
ton is stringent, and that its viola
tions are subject to severe penalties
for ignoring it's provisions.

Two Popular Young People Happily We'd
ded Last Evening.
Last evening at the Catholic church
in this city, Rev. Father Buh united
in holy bonds of matrimony according
to God and State, Mr.. Peter Wagner
to Miss May Cosgrove. Louis Wagner
attended the groom and Mrs. Daniel
Garrison acted as bridesmaid.
Long before che hour set; 8 O'Clock,
the church was filed to overlooking
by friends of the young couple. The
edifice had been handsomely decorated
with evergreens and potted plants
and presented beautiful appearance.
The organ pealed forth a wedding
march when the happy couple entered
accompanied by their attendants and
took their station before the altar
The ceremony was short but impress
sive.
After the ceremony, the couple re-
paired to the handsome new residence
of the groom on Sheridan street where
an elaborate wedding repast was
spread of which relatives and imme-
date friends of the couple partook.
At about o'clock. the Ely City Band
appeared and serenaded it's former
member, Peter, and his bride.
The young couple need no intro
duction to the people of this city.
Mr.. Wagner has made his home here
since the town started and has been
interested with his father, f. Wagner
Sr. and his brothers Louis and Frank.
in the meat business. By strict at
tention to business he has become one
of the solid business men of Ely. He
recently erected a beautiful residence
and handsomely furnished the same
in which to fittingly install his bride.
His friends in Ely and elsewhere
where he is known are innumerable.
The bride is the only daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. John Cosgrove who have
resided here for several years, Mr..
Cosgrove being valued clerk of the
Pioneer Iron company. Miss May
was favorite among her associates
and numbers her friends by the list of
her acquaintance. She has always
taken prominent part in local enter
tainments and was an active worker
in charitable movements.
The MINER joins the hosts of
friends in wishing Mr.. and Mrs. Wag-
ner all the possible joys to be obtained
in this world and pleasant sail over
the matrimonial seas. May they
have unlimited happiness.

ORE OUTLOOK.

Among authorities in local ore
circles, not given 10 mere hcarsay, the
entrance of the Carnegie-Oliyer inter
est upon the Gogebic range is now
treated as an accomplished fact.
What remains unconsummated, it
would appear, will determine the
extent of the Oliver Mining Co.'s
operations on that range; but so far
as the Tilden property is concerned,
it is believed that the deal is finished.
With a considerable tonnage of deSir-
able Gogebic ore taken out of the
market, as will be the case when the
present deal is completed, the average
buyer Of ore will find his choice of
Eessemers moderately low in phos-
phorus more restricted than in years.
BeSsemer hematites on the old ranges
have been drawn upon heavily in the
past half dozen years and their scar
city may be accented in the seasons
just ahead. II would seem, in this
event, that prices must at least be on
such a level as to permit the working
of smaller Gogebic properties that
were barred out by the schedule or
1897. In the past week there has been
:. further demand for both Bessemer
and non-Bessemer ores and today the
most desirable in both classes are
taken up. Dock stocks, barring a
large tonnage Of Mesaba non-Besse-
mers, have been considerably reduced
since May, indications now pointing
to larger years sales Of Lake Sup
erior ores than in any year OF the
business. Current sales OF ore are
promptly covered by vessel charters
and some negotiations for Marquette
boats are now pending at 20 cents
Through October. The Duluth wild
rate has been nc minally is cents for
several days, but nothing can be done
below 70 cents, the beginning of the
coal movement encouraging vessel
men to hold aloof.
Still exhibiting characteristics OF
genuineness and promises of perman-
ence, the improvement in the iron
trade has made further progress in
the past week. The slowness Of adj
yances n some lines and in some sec
tions, keeps the movement free from
unhealthiness and adds to the stock
of confidence. The features Of the
week are further advances in pig iron
of all descriptions, in steel billets, in
muck bar and iron skelp; in finished
material additional firmness in bars,
but generally unchanged conditions
as to all other rolled products, though
wire nails are higher, with signs OF
continued strength. The buying of
Bessemer pig iron in the Pittsburg
and other central western districts
has kept up, the total of the past two
weeks being estimated at close to
loo, 600 tons. Further purchases are
pending since it is we'll known that
large steel companies are consuming
considerably more pig irou than they
produce. Iron Trade Review.
