HEAD WILL NOT
STAND FOR THE
PLANS Of KEMP
Refuses to Vote for
More Teachers.
REPUDIATES WHOLE SCHEME
THIRTY PLACES FIGURED ON BY
THE PUSH.

School Director Ed Head has played
smash with the plans OF Kemp. Gedge and
the others Of the School Board who are
now scheming TO load the department with
an end-of-the-year lot OF teachers. Ever
since their scheme was turned down by
President Bergerot at the last meeting OF
the board they have claimed they would
be able 10 put th-Lgs through when they
next came together. and have also claimed
10 have Heads ~ote for the job up their
sleeve. Il trans7 ed yesterday. however
that they were reckoning without their
host. Director Head said emphatically
that he would never vote for any propo-
sitlon OF the sort and had never intended
10. He denied also that he had ever been
approacheD by any OF the crowd with a
proposition TO stand in. They know too
well the stand 1 take on those matters.
said Head yesterday. "and II they have
claimed my vote have done so without
my authority. l think the department has
now all the teachers IL can carry and /
certainly Will support no measure which
would likely jeopardlZe the welfare OF
those now IN our employment"
Mr.. Heads reputation Of the scheme
IS OF larger effect than was apparent
when hemp's game first became known.
II was thought at i~st that two teachers
each was all that could be forced on the
department but IL later transpired that
general cleanup had been quietly going
on since Allf noalu ApbA N4llNf anu AudA
there was room i'm the department for at
least thirty regular teachers During the
hast year numerous long term leaves Of
absence were granted and the substitute
list IL at the present time exhausted In
an thlrty-five substitutes have been taken
OF list and placed IN the places Of the
absentees. All of the twelve teachers on
the unassigned list have also been set at
work More room was made by forcing
ten OF the older teachers upon the re-
tired list. and numerous designations
which have lately been accepted have left
nom for many more appointments. and
they viii probably be made before next
June by the incoming board. The push
had got hold Of the fact and IS known TO
have figured upon anticipating the action
with fits own people. but Heads refusal

success. Mafeking was still safe on

day, retarded instead of increased her
speed. What the Shamrock may be able
to do in rough weather and a stiff wind
is still problernatical, but after the
drubbing she has received, the experts
are almost unanimous in the belief that
the Columbia can take her measure in
light airs or a gale of wind.
The crew Of the Shamrock have given
it up. They are now convinced that we

ON Monday they had the most supreme
confidence in their ability to win with
Shamrock.
There was no living with them, -
said one of the Yankee tars ON the
Shamrock's tender Lawrence. "They
did not think their boat would win;
they absolutely knew it. They would
not even hear arguments After they
returned from the race Monday they
were so sore that they would not speak
to each other. Now they are frank
enough to admit that the Columbia is
the better beat by ten minutes over a

The boats will race again tomorrow,

possible two more races will be sailed.

EXCITING DAY AT WAR OFFICE.
Crowds of People Flock There to Sc
cure the Latest News.

cure the LATEST news.
London, Oct 20.-Y esterday was one
of the most exciting days known at the
war office since the crowd attended
there to learn the result of the relief
expedition to Gordon at Khartoum.
The news that the Fifth Lanciers had
been engaged brought many ladies and
other friends of the regiment to inquire
for news.
The gravest intelligence today seems
to be the report of the capture of a
train with officers at Glands Laagto be-
cause it was understood that the whole
cross country line was regularly
patrolled.
AS no correspondents are allowed at
the front, it is impossible to gain
definite information. though it is known
that General Sir George Stewart White
has been making some extensive move
ments of the troops in that neighbour
hood and developments are hourly ex
pected-
1t is rumored that Commandant Cen
eTal Joubert's northern column. with
twelve guns, is now at Dannhauser.
Although the Beers have shown con-
siderable activity in Natal, there is
nothing to indicate that they are yet
prepared for a serious combined at
tack, and the general belief here is
that unless something unexpected hap
pens General Sir George Stewart White
villa maintain the defensive.
The surrender of Vryburg is not of
great Importance, but it viii be re
garded throughout Boertlom as a
splendid triumph over the British.
The latest advices received here say
that the Natal carbineers, who were
engaged with the enemy at Bester's
station, had six men wounded. An
armored train has been sent from
Ladys1nith to bring in the wounded.

caused all this excitement. and it was in
tensified today by the report made by
several mining men who visited the prop
erty this morning.
There are two drifts running parallel
twenty-five feet apart for a distance of
over 200 feet. 1t is figured that between
the two drifts is a solid mass of ore, and
it is figured that this is worth not less
than S20G9,000.
This represents, however only a small
amount of the mineral in sight in the
a large body of iron ore opened UP in the
Bon Air mine, running from forty to fifty
ounces silver. from which shipments of
fifty tons per day are being made. This
will be increased as soon as possible.
1t has been many years since Leadvilfe
has had 50 much mining excitement, com
bined with stock speculation. Holders of
from 100 to $50 shares of Home Mining
company stock at 81 a share are now
reaping a rich harvest. The stock was

who were guarding the railway at Riv-

Kimberley, on Sunday morning. The
police retired. A terrific explosion>was

Beers blew up the station.
A relief party of twenty-five police
sent from Kimberly met the Beers near
Riverton. The enemy displayed a white
flag to induce the troops to fall into
their trap, but the police were ordered
to retire. Then the Beers opened a.
