Solomon's School ting.

SOLOMON, July 2S.-The school
meeting was the largest gathering Of
the kind in years. A nine months
school was voted for, the tax levy was
put at IS mills, W. T. Harris was
elected treasurer and Rev. +. N. Ran.
kin clerk. 1t was moved and sec.
onded that the meeting take a vote
whether male or female superintend-
ent be employed. Vote resulted in
l6 for female and 29 for male. As
the old board had practically agreed
to give the principalship to woman
an interesting controversy has re-
suited and the state superintendent
will probably be appealed to for de.
cision as to the right Of district
with graded school to decide on sex
Of the teachers at the annual meeting.
A petition is being circulated by
friends Of the lady asking the board
to set aside the action OF the meeting
and engage her as principal.

Of the exquisite language in which it

Prof Sears Goes to Anaconda.

We note with extreme satisfaction
that Prof. Sears has secured a posi-
ton as principal of the Lincoln
schools in the city of Anaconda with
IL teachers under his supervision.
Whatever the people may say in
their attempt to discuss his varied
capacities and accomplishments, the
fact stands that his presence in Mel
hart for the past three years has been
one of the healthiest influences for
social advancement that was ever ex-
erted upon the place. 1t is also true
that such talent as his is pinched and
blighted by long residence in an iso-
lated community. Mr.. Sears is an
unpretentious but thorough scholar,
an excellent and gifted instructor,
and every iuch a man. We con-
graduate him upon his preferment,
which came m~easurably unsolicited,
but rather do we congratulate Ana
conda upon her worthy acquisition.
Our loss is Anaconda's gain.

Thomas Anglers, an old timer of

night after only a few days sickness
of pneumonia. He was a native of
southern Austria, and has resided at
Neihart since the spring of 'S2.
Coming thus early he had acquired
considerable valuable mining prop.
erty, which he held at the time of his
death. He was we'll advanced in
years, but had taken good care Of
his health and substance, and his
sudden demise hal sadly precluded
him from enjoying the fruits of hi.
labors. He has no relatives in thi.
country, and friends have searched
in vain for any clue to his connec
tons abroad.
He was strictly honest and up
right in his dealings and the peopl,
of camp feel that they have lost
good citizen. He was buried Mon.
day afternoon, Rev Hooking con
Quoting the services, and w. L
Cook officiating as undertaken.
