At Tucson

TUCSON, Oct. l0.-The Republicans are
making great efforts to catch the Mexican
vote this year. They have organized a
Mexican Republican club in the hopes of
drawing in some of them, but the attend
ance and membership are discouragingly
small, and even advertising .refreshments
at their political meetings fails to bring a
crowd. The Mexican miner and cowboy
and merchant know what silver has done for
them and they want it again. When Arizona
silver mines were being worked they had
work, but now they are idle in large mum.

Complains of the Boys.

A lengthy letter was received from
J. M. Broome, renewing his complaint
of last year in regard to the boys of
the Pleasant Grove school annoying
him by throwing stones at his house
a.. and breaking windows, and chasing
their ball onto his hotbeds when it
= goes over the fence.
Mr.. Fletcher said that something
should be done, and eight foot solid
board fence should be erected, If neces-
sary. He moved that the committee
on property and expense act in regard
to the fence to protect Mr.. Broome's
property from depreciation from the
school lot and clear off the refuse
brick and stone which the boys have
been throwing. The motion was car
ried, and Supt. Varney also promised
to give the matter attention so far as
the boys were concerned.
Mr.. Parry said that new fence is
also badly needed at the Union school.

Full Corps of Teachers Chosen
by the Board.
Superintendent Varney Reelected at an
Increased Salary as eyeral banges in
the Teaching Force of Two or Three
of the Schools.-.Splendid List OF
Teachers for Next Year---Little Other
Business Transacted.

The board Of education elected a
full corps of teachers at it's meeting
last week, and the list is one which
ensures better work than ever for next
year. Few changes were made. Two
or three of the best teachers did not
desire a reelection, from one cause or
another, and every recommendation
of the superintendent as to the de-
sireability of change for the good of
the schools was adopted, although the
successful applicants seldom had a
unanimous vote.
Mr.. Fletcher led an effort, which
was successful at first, to have the
election of teachers delayed, but Mr..
Wilson turned the plank on this move
ment a little later, and after the OBJ
ject of the delay had been defeated
further opposition to proceeding was
withdrawn,
All of the members of the board
were present except Mr.. Cray, who is
attending court at St. James.

Efforts at Delay.

Mr.. Fletcher moved that when the
board adjourn it be for one week. 1t
was customary and desirable that a
full board be present when the cleo
tion of teachers is taken up. This was
carried.
Mr.. Wilson moved that the rules be
suspended and the election of teachers
proceeded with.B This motion was op-
posed by Mr.. Fletcher, and was de-
feated for the want ot the necessary
two-thirds vote, receiving four votes
to three opposed.
Mr.. Parry said that he did not see
why the board had come together, If
it wasn't going to do anything. There
was no guaranty that there would be
a full meeting week hence. There
must be reason back of the effort to
make delay. 1t had been given out
that the election would be held at
this meeting, and it ought to be pro-
ceeded with.
Supt. Varney said that nearly every
city in the country has elected it's
teachers for next near, and that it
would be better for the teachers and
for himself to have the thing settled
as SION as possible one way or the
other.

The New Teachers.

No changes were made at the
Franklin, West Mankato or East
Mankato schools. At the Pleasant
Grove, Miss Allie Lewis, teacher of
the A 7th grade, one of the strongest
teachers in the city, did not desire a
re- election, and wac succeeded by Miss
Dredge. This left a vacancy in the
sixth grade, and Miss Williams was
advanced from the fourth.
Miss Firestone, who was given the
fifth grade, graduated from the high
school last spring, and has spent the
past year at the Normal school, where
her record has been good.
Miss Leidloff, who secures the
fourth grade. graduated from the
high school two years ago, and has
taught the sixth grade at Mapleton
two years with much success.

most successful teachers in the city.

Mr.. Wilson asked that the roll be
called again on the last vote. There
was no change, Messrs. Williams,
Parry, Wilson and Mrs. Smith voting
aye, and Messrs. Fletcher, Keysor and
Coughlan voting no.

ference to the teachers whether the
matter is settled now or delayed
longer.
Supt. Varney Reelected.
Mr.. Wilson moved that the rules be
suspended and the election of super
intendent taken up. This was car.
ried without opposition. Mr.. Wilson

retired from the room. The state
ment was made that no other appli.
cations had been received for the posi-
tion Of superintendent.

in some things had caused the board
annoyance. He thanked the board
