Must Go to School.

Just before the public schools open
for the coming school year, it may be
we'll to call attention to chapter 226
of the laws passed by the legislature
last winter. 1t requires that children
between the ages Of and 16 must at
tend school during all the time there
is school in the district. The school
board may appoint truant officer,
who has power to apprehend and take
to school any children not attending,
and the parents or guardians are liza
BILE to a misdemeanor. OF course
there are circumstances that the
board may take into consideration
and excuse the child from attending
such as poor health, poverty Of the
parents or the fact that the child is
engaged in some occupation permitted
by law.

Oppel's Man CAPTURED,

The fellow that went through G. II.
Opel & Sons safe in Tower a week
ago Wednesday night, was captured
at Two Harbors the next day by Chief
Gillon of that city after an exciting
chase in which revolvers played a
prominent part. On his person was
found 500 but later stocking was
found which he had thrown away in
his flight from the policeman which
contained $40 in gold. He also had
on his person a small pocket book
containing small fuse, bottle of
acid and other tools in safe breakers
outfit. The fellows name was W. w.
Williams and he is wanted in Chicago
for breaking Jail. The fellow had his
hearing in Tower before Judge Cam
paigne and was taken to Duluth Sat
urday morning, heavily ironed, and
safely housed in the county Jail where
he will await the action of the next
grand jury.

June Approtionment.

The June apportionment has just
been completed by the force of ac-
countantS that have been engaged for
several weeks in the office of the
county auditor.
The total for the years apportion-
ment amounts to s1,005, 0I9.72, as
against s775, 650.64 in 1898, a gain of
s229, 36s.0S. OF the amount paid in
S65S, 1870 was received in the regular
settlement of taxes, 1854, 946.S0 was
paid in under the resolution adopted
by the county commissioners before
the forfeited tax sale took place, and
the forfeited tax sale brought in
SCI, 1852. Practically all the latter
two amounts, however is attributed
to the Window amendment"
The city of Ely will receive from
this apportionment the sum of 50, $780,
80, divided as follows: general fund,
s25.24; bond interest, 1886; fire depart
ment, s362.O4; court, police, water and
lights, Sl.S3L05: streets, s19.e5.

In Love with THE Ranges.

David S. FOrgy, clerk of the NUM-
cipal court, has returned from his va
cation trip filled with enthusiasm re-
garding the future of the iron ranges
of st. Louis county says the News
Tribune. He made his first appear
ance at Ely, where lie found so
many other people that it re-
quired the exercise of hard work and
all his personal magnetism to procure
for himself bed. The hotels were
crowded. Later he visited Tower;
Soudan, Eveleth, Virginia, Hibbing
and other places on the ranges and
he says that he found business every
where and in all lines simply booming:
II had heard that times were good
on the ranges before went up there"
said Mr.. Forgy, ''but L was not pre-
pared for what l was to see. A man
that goes up there looking around
feels lonesome, for everybody is busy
too busy to talk except after supper
and work by no means stops then for
hundreds of men are employed at
night as well as by day in some de-
partments Of labor, when enough men
can be procured for a double shift.
There is much complaint of the scare
ity Of men in some Of the places that
l visited. Carpenters are getting 50
day and up and common labor COM
mands 81 and 1928. The miners are
making the best wages they have en-
joyed since 1892, and / am told that
in some cases the wages for this class
of work are higher than they ever
were before. One of the most graft
flying things about the iron ore situa-
tion is that there is every prospect
that in future there will be no booms
in iron and steel to be followed by
great depression. The export BUSH
ness of the United States in iron and
steel products is growing at such
wonderful pace that the idea of the
bottom ever falling out of the in flu
ture is precluded. The business men
Of the iron ranges are all doing we'll
and from the common laborer up
there are heard no expressions except
of entire satisfaction with the pres
ent conditions and with the outlook
OF the future.
Il ran across many acquaintance
in all departments of business and in
dustrY on the ranges and they tell me
that the silver question has been al
most forgotten and that its former
friends have come to believe that an
administration under which such sat
isfactory conditions as the present
can exist, and which promises con-
tinuanee of such conditions for an in
definite period, is good enough for
them. Duluth has a great deal of
business backing in the iron ranges of
the county. This business is Of grow
ing Importance and should be encour-
aged in every way possible"

Grafters Gone BUMP.

No one about here will feel particu-.
larry like crying to hear that the
Sands s. Ashley aggregation of graft
ers stranded at Grantsburg, Wis. the
st. P. & D. refusing 70 haul their rot
ten old rolling stock any farther. AS
Grantsburg is several miles from any
other road they are likely to- make
their stay there indefinite. The
people of the town are to be pitied
but the balance of the world should
be congratulated.

BEDELETS FROM THE BUDGET

We hope that in all his official do
ings our good friend Elihu Root will
be on the square.
President Mckinley has eliminated
one quantity in his war problem by
Algebra, and is now getting at the
Root Of the matter.
Aguinaldo is asking foreign powers
for recognition, but if he should come
over here and be recognized 1t would
be all up with Aggy.
The state game and fish commission
is getting it in the neck, which is
likely to make it blue around the
gills.
Therell be Tombigbee time in
Alabama when Joe Wheeler comes
whOoping home again with an Asiatic
archipelago in his belt.
The Detroit people having eaten a
PHILIPPINE with Russ Alger, the statu
quo ante now prevails, and all is quiet
on the Potomac yet again.
Some folks are worrying about who
made God. Don't worry, dear hearts,
for He like the average member of the
Legislature is self-made. Read the
Bible and the blue book.
We see that Dewey is going to Eng
land on his home-bound voyage, but
we hope he won't drop any of his his
there, for We shall need them all to
hurrah with when he gets home, don't
you know.
The average country school teacher
is so poorly paid that she has to pick
blue berries during vacation when she
ought to be attending the training
school. Corollaries are all right in
their way, but they're not worth a
continental for dessert.
Some foreigners used to say that
our country was to level to be picture
sque and interesting, but things are
different now since we have those
three elevations. Jim Hill, Dave Hill.
and San Juan Hill. And Teddy Roose-
welt has climbed two of 'em, but rides
on pass around the other one, the
biggest Of all.
The big boot and shoe dealers are
said to be on their uppers, and are
making last effort to tap the peo-
pies till by stopping the ruinous.
hidebound policy of competition, and
thus heel themselves before they are
eternally strapped. The public will
please sing seventeen stanZas of that
good old hymn, MY sole be on thy
guard"
With such Scotch strain running
through the government as there will
be with Mckinley in the White
House, Tama Jim Wilson regulating
the crops and weather, and Dave
Henderson making rules for the house,
if Marvellous braces amt bonnie its
because the bag-pipe has lost its cum
ming, and some bare-legged, plaided
and betasseled Celt will have to lay
him dOun and decor be kilt.

vative wheelmen in that city and de-
serves 1t, for 1t is designed for the safe
ty of citizens as well as the wheel
riders themselves. The ordinance re-
Quires that all wheels used within the
limits Of the city must be provided with
q long white light, that the rule to keep
to the right shall be observed, and
moderate speed is prescribed. The rule
governing lights specifies that red or
green light on either side OF the white
light shall be used. this, We presume,
in order that the bicycle may be better
distinguished from other vehicles with
lights. This double light. while neces-
sary, perhaps, for the crowded streets
Of large cities, might not be regarded
as essential in the cities Of smaller
class.
Regulations OF speed within the limits
Of city. particularly on the streets
on which there is much traffic, and
along which the street car lines run,
should be enforced to reasonable ex-'
tent. Even in Wheeling there have
been frequent narrow escapes from
serious accidents. The business streets
are not SO wide rs to make 1t entirely
safe for riders Of wheels who recklcssly

from the sidewalks are not intrequent
occurrences, though accidents are, for
tunatcly, rare. The best side of safety
is the right side, and the right side Is
moderate speed. Lights are not rs
generally used as they should be. even
though the arc street lamps are plenti-
full.
