1a2 Women teachers to Marry

SEATTLE, June 15.-The city school
board is advised that 1872 young women
school teachers will be married this
summer, causing vacancies in more
than one-sixth of the $50 teaching posi-

woman for hysteria shortly after she
had attempted to end her life. He also
stated that the woman had been mar
ried before and had left her first hus-
land and that the second husband had
tried to bring proceedings for di-
Vorce.
Several See Attempts
That the consultation between the
principals and Deputy District Attor-
rey Horton were unfavorable to the
woman was evident from her actions
after leaving the office.
Attorney Chester Smith saw the at
tempt of the woman to end her life, and
the elevator boys in the international
bank also were present.
The woman was taken to the office of
DR.. Baird and later removed to her
home in an automobile. The rest of the
case will be publicly aired in the di-
vorce courts, as the husband asserts
that he will continue divorce proceed
ings, despite the futile attempt of his
wife to commit suicide yesterday after
noon.

one of the managers of the Mcmillan
estate here, today identified the dead
hunter as Perry C. williams, an Eng

Sunday. On and after that date
the trains leaving Ely will depart
Is minutes earlier and arrive Is
later, this bringing the evening
train here at S:45 and the noon
train at about ITO. The morning
train will leave at us O'Clock and
the afternoon train at 2 o'clock.
This change is most abominable
and goes to prove that the manage
ment cares little for the Vermilion
range towns. Considering that
ticket sales out of this city average
over 500 a day and the freight
business is about as good as in any
town on the ranges, it seems queer
that such discrimination should be
tolerated. Still, when it is consid
cred that the road has no opposition
in this neck of the woods, it is nc
wonder Ely gets the worst of it.
The committee appointed by the
Ely Business Mems Association to
wait on the company and try to Sc
cure better train service, is in Du-
1uth today and it remains to be seen
what will be accomplished.

TUBERCULOSIS
Valuable Information Being
Given This Week
Excellent Talks and a Large
Exhibit

The state anti-tubercu1osis ex-
hibit in charge of Christopher Eas-
ton, secretary of the exhibit, with
his assistants, opened here Wednes-
day. The attendance has been
most excellent and much interest
is being manifested.
The City of Ely is defraying the
expenses of the exhibit in order
that every man, woman and child
should become acquainted with the
disease, its causes and its cures
with the ultimate result of stamp
ing out the malady. The hall has
been crowded at every meeting and
the knowledge being disseminated
is worth thousands compared with
the expense incurred.
Wednesday evening, Mayor Muir
ply acted as chairman and made a
very neat address afterwards intro
ducing Christopher Easton who
gave the audience brief outline
of the work to be accomplished by
the exhibit. He spoke very enter
tainingly and his remarks were lis
tened to most attentively. DR.. f.
L. Twohy, of Duluth, followed and
in half hours talk told What the
Exhibit did for Duluth.
Thursday afternoon Rev. P. w.
Jacobson had charge of the meeting,
DR.. Moore, of Eveleth, being an
nounced as the principal speaker.
DR.. Moore was unavoidably unable
to be present and Mr.. Easton gave
a talk. Both Mr.. Jacobson and

SUPERIOR COURT
Proposed Organization of a
Range Court

A movement has be fostered by
the Range Commercial Clubs to es-
tablish a Superior Court north of
Duluth with terms to be held in the
range towns as follows: Virginia,
the first Monday in january, March,
June and September; Hibbing, first
Monday in February, April, Octo-
Der and December; Ely, first Mon
day in May and November. Spec
terms every Saturday in Virginia
except during the months of July
and August. This court is to have
concurrent jurisdiction with the
District Court.
The move is a good one and will
meet with the approval of the range
towns. The question now lies be-
tween the establishment of a court
for the range towns or the appoint
ment or election of another judge
on the District bench.
There is one remarkable Incl
dence, however, in the new bill
that does not appeal very strongly
to the Vermilion range and that IS
that while the Mesaba range has
eight terms of court with the every
Saturday special the Vermilion
range is choked off with two terms.
At a meeting of the Business Men s
Association last evening a delega.
ton consisting of A. J. Thomas,
| Judge J. w. Osborne and DR.. @. 7.
Ayres was named to go to Duluth
today and attend the meeting of the
combined Commercial Clubs, pro.
test against this arrangement anC
use all means to secure equal rights
with the other places.
The jurisdiction of the court
would, as we understand it, EN-.
brace about all the territory at pre-
sent embraced in the several range
commissioner districts and this
would give the Ely district the
largest territory by far. In view
of this, then, why should the Yer
million range be Disseminated
against.
The proposition is also to send {
delegation of the combined clubs
to St. Paul to lobby for the passage
of the new bill.

Report from Attorney A. J. Thomas
on the claim of Herman Kandelin for
damages, referred to him at last meet
ing of council, was read.
He reported that he believed, after
having made careful investigation
that the officers of the city had not
been negligent in any way and that
the city should not be liable for dam
ages but that it might be matter of
gnod business judgement and pro-
per exercise Of discretion on the part
of the council, provided he should
make reasonable claim and comen.
