~. S. LEATHER co.
Pushing Ahead With the Ex-
tract Plant at This Place.

Not many people realize even now
what an addition TO Big Stone Gap
the L. 5. Leather Company's opera
tions will be. There is already an
astonishing number of houses spread
irg down from the depot, and the
many signs of industry already cause
strangers to mistake this for Big
Stone Gap itself, instead OF a very
busy and thriving suburb. The L.
S. Leather Company is making
rapid Roadway in all directions.
Under the experienced superintend-
ency of Mr.. Moore grading is being
done and tracks laid, houses for en-
plovees erected, shops, &c. Some
thing like 100000 feet of lumber is
now on the grounds. Five ten-room
houses will soon tc ready for occu-
patton, and large repair shops
finished. The storage building is al
ready finished. \ barrel house 1000
feet long will be erected in the near
future, and afterwards the main
buildings, which will be large and
commodious and cover Il great area
of ground.
This is one Of the biggest indust-
ries in this part of Virginia, and Big
Stone Gap is to be congratulated on
securing the plant at this place.
About so men are now at work,
and many more will be needed when
the operations begin.
Mr.. Moore's family has joined him
at this place and the POsr accordS
them hearty welcome.

PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Teachers Elected for the Com.
ing Year.

The School Board has elected the
following teachers for the coming
year, viz: Prof. r. H. Sheppe, Miss
Eula Young, Miss Elizabeth Brown,
of Pulaski City, Miss Sallie A. Clai-
borne, Faimville, and Miss Martha
Cardozo, OF Lunenburg, va.
Dauiel Murray was reelected as
teacher Of the colored school at this
place.
The new teachers elected all hold
first class certificates and have, also,
had Normal training and from.one to
several yeats experience in teaching,
and the Board thinks that we have a
better corps of teachers this year
than ever before.
The Board has also determined to
employ one additional teacher this
year, making in all five assistants,
besides the Principal. This course
seemed absolutely necessary in view
of the large increase in the number
OF pupils.
The accommodations of Stonega
Academy are wholly insufficient, but
this will be remedied by obtaining
another room to be occupied by one
of the teachers and two Of the grades.
The fifth assistant teacher will
probably be obtained from Louisville,
Ky.
Miss Belle Slemp and Miss Clara
Mccartney both rendered their resig-
nations. 1t is understood that Mis-
Slemp desires to take special course
in history and Miss Mccartney has
secured position in Louisville at a

pressed BY the Board, and the patrons

new CHURCH SOCIETY.
LOYAL LEAGUE OF CENTRAL PARK
NJ. e. CHURCH.

The inauguration of the Loyal League
of the Central Park Methodist Church.
which occurred last night, marks an in
novation in church societies in St. Paul
The new organization was launched with
nearly 200 prospective members, and the
completion of the work of perfecting the
detail of officers and committees will oc-
cur in the near future.
The Loyal league is a society, the OBJ
ject of which is to promote loyalty to
the church. One of its principal features
is pledge whereby members bind them
selves to regularity in attendance at all
church services and to efforts towards
securing an increased attendance at both
the regular and occasional meetings of
the church. The pledge, moreover, binds
members to set a reverent and devout
example to others attending church serV-
ices.
The rolls were opened for those who
desired to become members of the new
organization, and a large number signi-
fed their intention of joining The oc-
cas:on was something of social feature,
and, combined with the business affairs
of the meeting, was a social session
which proved enjoyable. Rev F. NJ
Rule, presiding elder of the Methodist
church, was present and made an adj
dress. Rev. Benjamin Longley spoke of
the objects of the new society and its
possibilities as an adjunct of the church

HIGH CLASS HORSES SOLD
VIM. HOLLANDS THOROUGHBRED
SALE A GREAT SUCCESS.

William Hollands first auction sale of
high class horses at South ST. Paul was
so successful thattdtfis not improbable
that Mr.. Holland will arrange to hold
several more at intervals of five or six
weeks during the rest of the year. The
horses offered were by far the finest
animals that have been put on sale in
ST. Paul in years. Mr. Holland spent
the two weeks preceding the sale in
looking the horses up through the Middle
and Southern states. He had promised
before going away that he would bring
back a fine lot of horses, and he did.
He established beyond a doubt his repu-
tation as a judge of horse flesh.
The horses sold included road teams
that can step a mile in less than 2:30,
single drivers with records under 2:20, high
class coach teams, fine buggy teams, fan
cy drivers and saddlers and a few good
and thoroughly reliable heavy horses.
Prices realized ranged from 500 to 1925
for single horses and from 5000 to $625
for teams.
The one sale that attracted more at
tention than the others was a pretty
pair of coal blacks to Lane J. Thomas.
The team was by far the best in the
lot both animals were pure black, both
clean I1mbed, fancy lockers and high
steppers with record under 2:30 to
a road wagon. The bidding on the
pair was spirited, for many wanted
Them but they finally went to Mr.
Thomas at the price stated.

CHANCE FOR EDUCATORS.
THREE HIGH-SkI,ARIED POSITIONS
OPEN TO TEACHERS IN
THIS STATE
SHOEMAKER SUCCEEDS PARR
Presidency of st. Cloud Normal Is
Left Vacant and state School
Inspectors Terms Ex-
pire July I.

The resignation of Prof Waite A. Shoe
maker Of the presidency of the state nor
NAL school at St. Cloud to accept the
SUPPLEMENTARY Of the public schools of
that city, made vacant by the death of
the late S. S. Parr, is Of interest in more
than one respect. Not only is 1t signifi-
cant of a desire on the part of promi-
nent educators to get away from the nor
NAL school system, which does not find
much favor in the eyes of the present
administration and which has to face
hight every year in the legislature but
its force in this connection is augmented
by the filing of an application for the
place OF superintendent Of the st. Paul
city schools by President Millspaugh, of
the Wlnona normal, who, within a very
snort time, came here from Colorado to
I'LL the uneasy presidency of the Winona
normal.
1t is an educational tradition in Min
nesota that neither Of these schools has
had comfortable presidential chair.
When Shepard was In charge at Winona
he had the town in arms against him,
or, at least, aligned in two factions, for
and against him, and at St. Cloud the Sc
quence has been rapid. Allen, Gray, Car
hart, Keeberger, Shoemaker, and who
next?
There are two other places in the gift
Of the state, too, in an educational way,
soon to be filed, the terms of State High
School inspector Alton and State Graded
School Inspector Rankin expiring July l. q
A year Ego they were continued prac-
tically on forbearance, for the avowed
reason that there was not an application
for the place worthy of serious consid-
GRAFTON. With the present restlessness
on the part of educators of repute, how
ever, 1t is felt in many quarters that the
possibility of change in this place is
not so remote, and that some new blood
will be infused into the administration
IN this connection within the next two
months.
special to the G l o e from Winona
says when President Mallspaugh was seen
relative to the statement which appeared
in the G e this morning to the eff
feet that he had applied to the ST. Paul
board of education for the position of
superintendent of schools there, he said
that the report was limo sense correct.
Yesterday" added Mr.. Millspaugh,
II learned indirectly that my name had
been mentioned in that connection, but
the information was a complete surprise
to me. 1 have given the matter no con-
sideration whatsoever and shall give it
no more unless further occasion than now
exists should arise"

DEATH OF DRUGGIST BULL
GRAND AVENUE BUSINESS MAN
DIES AFTER OPERATION.


Emil Bull, who for the last five years
has been running a drug store at Grand
avenue and ST. Adams street, died at
the city hospital Thursday evening from
appendicitis, for which he was twice OPP
Grated upon. He apparently rallied
from the effect of the second operation
and seemed to gain strength, when he
suffered a relapse Tuesday and had to
return to the hospital the next day. He
continued to sink rapidly. Kidney com
plications appeared and added to the
hopelessness of his case
Mr.. Bull was born in Flekkefjord, Nor
way, thirty-three years ago. He came
to this country very young man, and
has lived in St. Paul for the last ten
years. He was successful in business
and gained many friends through his
genial disposition and sterling qualities.
He had no relatives in this country.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
afternoon at o'clock from CAT Martin
street.
