WILL GO TO WASHINGTON.
Denison Schools Lose One Of Their
Brightest Teachers.

Miss Myrtle Culmer who has made
the scientific department of the Deni-
son schools noted throughout Iowa has
accepted position in the schools of
Ballard, Washington and has resigned
her position here. The offer made
to Miss Culmer is quite flattering.
500. per month. but it is no more
than she is worth or than ought to be
paid by the schools of Denison for
like trimming and ability. Miss Culmer
is a quiet. me est little lady. She puts
her heart into her work and has it in
mind both in and out of school. She
has excellent relations with her pupils
and has managed to retain both their
intimate friendship and their entire
respect. The schools of Blair. Neb..
also wished to employ Miss Culmer
but she had accepted the position in
Washington the day that the Superin-
tendent of the Blair schools came to
ask her to accept position there. In
Miss Culmer. Denison loses one of its
best teachers and all will join in wish
ing her success and happiness in her
new work.

Catlin of Marquette was the second

Of the race, Thompson announced that

larity.
BY THOMAS S. RICE.

Kid Elberfeld seems in great demand,
according to the stories from ST. Louis.
Chicago, and Washington, but Frank
Farrell announces he will not let him
so.
Farrell would seem to be right To
allow a ilayer 70 sulk on his ioo, throw
down his team. and then grant him the
very thing he is after-transfeT 20 an
other City-would make professional
baseball a joke and carry it hack TO
the level Of footracing, and what base
ball was in the years before the gam
blers were driven out Of the game.
Has No Defenders.
The charge against EIberfeld that he
deliberately quit on the New York
Americans and did not try to win, is
the most serious that can. be made
against ball player. and if 1t is true
there should be no talk Of trading him,
but of blacklisting him for life. so far.
there has appeared not a single pleader
for the famous shortstop. and the cri.-
les and fans seem to take it for granted
that the charge is true. It is TO be
hoped that he has been greatly wronged.
and that he was merely suffering from
depression. and found il impossible 10
put up his best game.
Still, Elberfeld is in bad odor and as
long as he remains under the charge OF
sulking and quitting the Washingtons
should have no use for him whatever
in any capacity. Cantillon said he
would not consider a dicke- for Elber-
field unless the players suspension was
lifted That was the proper attitude.
and if he had taken any other CantillOn
would have lost the confidence of every
fan in Washington with decent sporting
instinct or real interest in the local
club

CHICAGO, July SO.-The news that

Died at Poor Farm.

Milton Weisser, an inmate of
the county poor farm, died at 8
o'clock last night, death result
ing from an advanced attack of
typhoid pneumonia with which
Weisser had been suffering for
some time. Weisser was brought
down from Blackduck Saturday
morning and taken to the county
poor farm. He was delirious
when taken from the train, and
the disease with which he was
afflicted had taken such hold on
him that there was no possible
chance of recovery. He suffered
much, and death came to his re-
lief last night.
Not much is known of Weisser,
except that he was about 30 years
of age, and had been at Black
duck, working in one of the lum-
Der camps near that place. He
will probably be buried at the
poor farm.
