SCHOOL BOARD MAD.
Members Feel That There is no
Real Reason

For Suspension of Public Schools
Every Thing else in town is Going
Right Along Health Board Appar-
emily Thinks all Needed is to Stop
Sehools-S0me Resolutions.
The School Board is mad They
are very mad. They held meeting
last night and resoluted Besides
this they are talking. One Of them
talked to this paper this morning
He said in part. rhe part which can
be publisbed)
Twill such foolishness never cease.
Here we are with the schools closed
again. Every time there Is little
gruntiug on the part of any one we
must have the schools closed. Moth
ing else Is done, churches go right
along, the Opera House runs, the Uni
versity is open. Nothing under the
heavens is disturbed except the pub
lie schools. They must be closed"
Having done this the Board of
Health rears back and does nothing
else. Hasn't it closed the schools?
What more do you want them to do?
Can disease spread with the schools
closed? Isn't it a we'll known fact
that closing the public schools is
substitute for vaccination? Statis-
tics prove that microbes Of all kinds
are killed quicker by closing the pub
lie schools than by any other known
method. The microbes grow up in
ignorance with the schools closed and
the fool killer finishes them. Its a
pity that the gentleman has so much
work to do on microbes that he cant
pay attention TO cases among people
which deserve his attention"
"A meeting OF the board was held
last night and it is probable that
school will resume on MONDAY. There
was lot of discussion about the
present conditions and the members
were unanimous. They were also
ab nut as mad as the law allows. They
passed the following resolutions:n
RESOLVED, First, that the notice
from DR., E. Mel. Warren, Health Of
flcers, to the President of this Board
informing him of the action of the
Board of Health be received and en-
tered ia the records of this Board.
Second. that the action Of the
President of this Board in directing
the acting superintendent to close
the schools in obedience to the order
of the Board Of Health be approved.
Third, That while we recognize
the authority of the Board of
Health and promptly obey their di-
rections, yet we do so in this instance
under protest, feeling that the order
OF the Board Of Health is unnecessary
and uncalled for aad there is in our
opinion DO menace to the public
health demanding the cessation Of
the work of our Central Public School.
In the meantime all the children
are on the street aud they are running
every where. Ne other steps have
been taken to check public assem-
blages. A lot OF talk is heard on
every side about the schools and the
closing This makes four times IN
two years that the schools have been
shut down for one outbreak or anoth-
err 1t is getting to be the regular
thing.

DELAWARE TANGLE is
STILL IN A SNARL
Proposition for an Addicksite and an
Anti Addicksite for Senators.

DOVER, Del, Feb. 13.-At a confer
ence this afternoon the regular Repub-
ncan members of the general assem-
bly, submitted a counter proposition to
the Addicks Republican members, re-
plying to their signed offer of last
Thursday to go into a joint caucus of
all the Republican members, AddickS
to be eliminated. The regulars issued
a statement in answer to the Unions,
saying:
I'VE are disposed to meet you in a
fair way and adjust the differences
existing between our factions in a
manner creditable and with honor to
both sides. We hereby tender to you
the following proposition. based on the

In the election of two United States
senator's, one of whom shall be select
ed by us and the other to be selected
by you, provided, of course your Sc

Strong pressure will be brought to
bear upon the Addicks Republican as
sembly between now and Monday
morning to accept the proposition
made to them today by the regulars.

MELANCHOLIA
Is PeriIous Disease and One That
Leads 10 Insanity.
Paine's
Celery Conn pound
Has Saved Thousands of Melan-
chOIistS From the Grave.

Melancholia is a grave disease, il
has a tendency to induce suicide and
homicide; in many cases it leads to
dread insanity. The first important
symptom of ordinary melancholia is
sleeplessness. Another symptom of
the greatest Importance is dull pain
in the back of the neck, extending to
the back of the head. Then we see
other symptoms, such as depression of
spirits, slow mental and muscular
movements, retarded speech, terrifying
hallucinationS, aversion to food and a
disregard of life Every case of mel
ancholia is directly traceable to a
weakness or collapse of the nervous
system. The nerve branches of the
sympathetic system, the spinal column
and brain, are not doing their work,
and the blood is thin, sluggish or i'm
pure.
Paine's Celery Compound is the great
rescuer and life builder for every mel
ancholic victim AS a nerve food, this
marvellous Compound quickly imparts
nouriShment and life to the weak and
famished nerves, after which comes a
new Vitality-a feeling that life is pre-
cious and worth living. The stomach,
liver and kidneys are toned, digestion
becomes perfect, a natural appetite is
bestowed, and sweet, refreshing sleep
conduces to a vigorous health. Paine's
Celery Compound has saved more mel,
ancholic and nervous sufferers than
all other combined agencies. Do not
treat the symptoms of meIancholia
with Indifference. Begin today with
Paine's Celery Compound, and avoid
the perils that drag to insanity and
the grave.

GRIGGS LOSES THE EFINALS
IN WINNIPEG PLAY
One of the Best and Most SkIlfuI Games
of the BonspIeI.
Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
WINNIPEG, Feb. 13.-After defeating
Mahwinney, of Holland, in a grand game
In the semi finals, Griggs, of the Nushkas,
st. Paul, lost the finals in the Grand
Challenge to Griffith Glenboro. Griggs'
rink was certainly off color. The morn
Ing game was certainly one of the best
exhibitions of the game yet seen in the
bonspiel. Every stone played seemed to
change the chances of the end and every
stone called for reached the place for
which 1t was directed. The game was
somewhat long, on account of careful de-
1peration before any critical shot was
determined upon. The st. Paul men
have happy habit Of embracing one
an9ther for consultation, and at various
ther heads together with arms locked
over one another's shoulders.
Ihere We're few runners. Some splendid
examples of fine curling characterized the
game. Mawhinney, when the tenth end
was commenced. was down on this end
When ne went to play his last stone he
lald a shot This he attempted to guard
and failed, leaving the shot wide open

tant shot, took out a button stone of Ma

men were popular favOrites, and the spec
tators We're ready to cheer them to vic
tory in the afternoon.
The game started at o'clock. but one
OF the st. Paul men was decidedly off.
They got behind at the beginning and
never pulled even, losing, 1913. The sec
ond prize is four pearl-handled umbrellas.
Dunbars got into the fours in the Tetley,
by defeating D. r. Anderson. Of Sintaluta.
1t looked like a whiteWash, but the Sinta-
luta men made a two-end in the eighth
and then quit. It looked too good to last.
In the afternoon Braden, of the Thistles,

bar gets third or fourth prize The st.
Paul rinks will leave for home tomorrow

COAL MINES BECOMING IDLE.
Extensive Strike in British Columbia
Imminent

VICTORIA, B. c., Feb. 13.-The
strike which has been declared in the
coal mines of the Crows Nest Coal
company at Fernie, Michel, Morrissey
and Coal Creek will, it is feared, be
grave in its indirect effects, which
threaten to close every smelter in the
Kootenai and Boundary. countries. Re
Gently the miners of Nanaimo aff1liat-
ed with the Western Federation of
miners, in direct antagonism to Ralph
Smith, M. P, who warned them that
In so doing they would be imperiling
the good relations which have ex-
listed between them and the New Van
couver Coal company
1t is now considered likely that if
the strike is not settled in Fernie, not
only will there be a great suffering
there, but the miners of Nanaimo may
be called out. This would paralyze
the coal trade of San Francisco. The
situation is viewed with the greatest
apprehension and coal retailers are
hurrying scows to Nanaimo to insure
a good reserve supply in case of
trouble.

SNAKES GIVE
Her RYSTERIA
Lena Johnson Discovers Four
Of the Reptiles in a
Pile Of Quilts.

Lena Johnson, a domestic employed
in the family of Joseph Murphy, a
contractor at 3102 Fourteenth avenue
south, was thrown into Mysteries and
temporarily disabled Thursday on dis
covering four bull snakes, the shortest
of them five feet in length, curled up
in pile of quilts.
Miss Johnson had been told to take
the quilts from the store room and air
them, as company was expected and
additional bed coverings We're required.
The girl entered the room, which is not
heated, and began removing quilts
from a pile of half a dozen or more.
She had taken three from the pile
when something fell on the floor with
a squdgy wop that caused the maiden
to direct her gaze downward. There
at her feet lay a hideous yellow spot
ted bullsnake neatly coiled and quite
mOtiOnleSS.
Lena did not wait to find out wheth-
er the snake was dead or living, but
promptly gave vent to a high pitched
feminine screech that brought the 9TH
er members of the family running from
all directions. The girl could do moth
Ing but scream and point to the snake,
which she declared in terrified accents
had bitten her in half dozen places.
A neighbor who responded to the
riot call of the frightened domestic
snake that 1t was rattler, but when
the Johnson woman was examined for
bites there was not a scratch on her.
She felt certain she had been bitten,
however, and remained for the greater
part of the day in state, of hysteria.
One of the boys of the family began
+ taking the quilts out of the room, and
no sooner had he removed the top
one than he discovered three more
good-sized bull snakes quietly sleeping
IN bunch. This later discovery gave
the whole family nervous prostration,
and, although the snakes were prompt
ly removed and a thorough search of
the premises made for more, nobody
went to bed last night until the beds
and bedding had been closely scrutin-
lied for the third or fourth time.
1t appears that the snakes are part
OF lot imported here last season
from the West by a professional snake
dealer. One of the boxes in which the
bull snakes were confined broke and a
score of the reptiles got away.
The owner of the snakes, who kept
them in barn temporarily, missed
several of them, but after a thorough
search of the barn and surroundings
concluded that he had found all Of
them. Those found taking their win
ter sleep in the Murphy store room
doubtless entered through the window
OF the room, which is used as a linen
closet and store room. The window is
generally left open throughout the
summer.
