PATIENTS AT THE HOSPITAL.
Splendid New Institution Has Fully
Entered opon Its Work.

The past week witnessed opening
of the fine new hospital of the allied
companies at Ely City. Every prepa-
ration has now been completed at
the institution for giving patients
from mines and reduction works the
best attention. H. +. Stone, of Nc
Gill, was the first patient to enter
and receive treatment at the hospi-
tai. He has been suffering from a
serious injury TO his right foot for
several months, having met with an
accident at the Steptoe works while
engaged at his work as carpenter.
Mr.. Stones injury necessitated am
putation of the foot, which operation
was performed on Wednesday after
noon. He is now convalescing rapid
ly and will be about in two or three
weeks
At present two wards of the hos
pital, surgical and medical, are In
use and eight patients are being car
ed for five from the smelter and
three from the mines. II will be
but a matter of short time when
the greater portion OF the spacious
and well equipped buildings will be
occupied, as there will constantly be
injured and sick from the large
forces at mines and reduction plants
requiring treatment that can best
be rendered there.
Arrangement and equipment at the

BUILDING ACTIVITY
UNDER WAY IN ELY CITY


Three new houses are now in
course of construction in Ely
City. During the week is is
probable that ground will be
broken for as many more. Late
ly there have been steady sales
of lots in Ely City, hardly day
passing but that sale is made.
From the expressions OF pur-
chasers no manner of doubt is
left but that the season will see
much building activity and it is
safe to say that before the end
of the year there will be at least
twice the number of houses in
Ely City that there are now,
exclusive of building which the
Ely Townsite Co. will do.

the principal speakers, among whom
We're also eX-Mayor James ID. Phelan,

CHICAGO. Feb. 26.-Threc fore
men in the Illinois Steel Works were
attacked by murderous assailants las,

no, dangerously hurt as he stepped
out OF the gateway Of the yards. II

NEW YORK, Feb. 26,-That an.

Observatory. has arrived At from the
development Of Photographic plates
taken at Flint Island several months
age. They show the complete ab-
senee OF any planet between the sun

For 50 years astronomers have
been disturbed by the problem that
mercury does not follow the path or

course, and which mathematical as
tronomy has outlined for II, That
there was some force pulling from Its

These Photographic plates dispose

COPE WITH FORCES or EVIL
The President Today Addressed the
Delegates to Department Of Super
intendents Of National Educational
Association During Their Reception

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. - That
there will be no let-up in President
Roosevelt's policy Of warning against
'Rottenness and corruption was
emphatically declared by the Presi-
dent today in an address to the dele
gates to the department of superin-
tcndents OF the national educational
association during their reception at
the White House.
In the course Of his address he
said: Fundamentally in its family
life and in its outside activities of its
individuals, the country is better and
not worse than it formerly was. This
does not mean we are to be excused
il we fail to war against rottenness
and corruption, if we fail to contend
effectively with the forces Of evil, and
they waste their time who ask me to
withhold my hand from dealing there
with"
The President advised that the
schools more and more train boys
and girls toward and not away from
the farm and the workshop. He said
much had been said about the dignity
OF labor, but in our education we have
tended toward the assumption that
the educated man was to be educated
away from and not toward labor.
The President also desired that pupils
should be taught that it does not
atone for small pay to call it salary
if by working hard with your hands
you get more than if you work with
your head only. He urged that the
boy be taught to earn his own livli-
hood and be the home-maker; that
the girl be the home-maker; that the
father be the bread-winner and the
mother be the housekeeper.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 26. = The
climax OF the general debate on the
army appropriation bill in the House
came today when Dalzell, recognized
as one OF the foremost protectionists
Of the country delivered an exhaus-
tive speech in defense OF the Republi-
can party and its policies. in which
he upheld the principle of protec-
tive tariff system and said under il.
the United States had become the
greatest OF manufacturing nations,
He don't believe there is any neces-
sity for tariff revision, but thought il
was well to recognize the claims OF
those who think there should be
some alterations. Whatever that re-
vision was provided the Republicans
were successful at the next election,
he assured his hearers II would be in
accordance with the Republican
theory Of protection OF American in
dustries and OF the wages OF Ameri-
can workmen The American tariff
system was attacked by Houston,
who charged that the trusts owed
their being to it and urged its revis-
ion, The army appropriation bill
was not concluded when the House
adjourned.

We're Torn From CathedraIs IN
French Revolution.
ARE ExQUIsITELY MODELLED
Despite Their Long Exposure to the
Wind and Weather They Have
Withstood the Action Of the Ages
to Remarkable Degree

NEW YORK, Feb. 26. - Two
Gothic figures torn from French
cathedrals by the mob in the French
Revolution and after several genera
tions garden ornament have found
their way to the Metropolitan Mu-
scum of Art where they have just
been placed on exhibition.
They were discovered by George
Grey Barnard, an American sculptor
who was making a bicycle tour OF
France. He was surprised to see in
the door yards of the little French
towns and around the farm barns re-
markable examples of early Gothic
sculpture Many of these he bought
as "old stones" from the peasants
for few dollars each. The greater
portion OF them he sold to the Louvre
and similar institutions. The two
which the Museum has acquired were
obtained from their owners through
Mr.. Barnard.
The most valuable is a life size
representation Of "The Virgin and
Child" and once was at the entrance
Of cathedral in central France. 1t
was cast down by the foes Of the
church during the reign of terror and
the image of the child was broken.
The figure of the virgin is remarkable
in the exquisite modelling of its drap-
cries, and strongly suggests the
classic Greek.
"St. Anne" is the subject of the
second figure. The statute belongs
to the 18th century and in the orna-
mentation OF its draperies suggests
the dawn Of the renaissance.
both statues are of hard Vile de
France, and despite their long expos
ure to wind and weather and TO the
wearing effect OF the vines which
clung to them in the gardens, they
have withstood the action Of the
ages 70 . ssmarkabis degrees.
