The contracts for the Washington club
players are coming in very slowly. but
surely and now number SIX one being
received this morning from SIR Robert
Unglaub The other five are from
Hughes. Shipkc, Mcbride, Blankenship
and Witherup.
I-nelaub is wintering in Williamsport,
Pa. and i'll short letter with the CON
tract SAYS that he is enjoying splendid
health and will be ready to join Cantillon
in Chicago by the LIST of March. Bob
also remarked that the Nationals should
about double up their games next season.
as he has heard that Delehanty is in
prime condition and that Walter Johnson
will sign with a little coaxing. Inslaubs
contract must have been very satisfac-
tory, as it was mailed TO him only week
ago.
One week from today the annual spring
schedule meetings of the American and
Nationa! leagues will he held in Chicago.
and at their conclusion the Washington
fans will know something definite as
regards the final location of Kid E.lber-
field President Noycs will probably not
attend the meeting on account OF lmpor-
tant engagements, but Manager Cantiilon
will be at home. and Manager Staliinss
has arranged with President Farrell OF
the New YorkS TO meet him in the Windy
City.
Stalings would like to pull off severaf
trades next week. and as it Will be the
last call for the dining car, so to speak,
he will be there with all his war paint on
Manager McAleer has also several trading
bees buzzng in his bonnet. and he also
will add to the luster of the gathering.
Manager Stalings has Informed the New
York Scribes that he Will return fmmedl-
ately after the meetings TO his Georgia
farm so that II Will be now OF never as
regards trade for the little 'Tabasco
Kid.
Manager Cantilon has displayed almost
phenomenal Judgment on players since
coming to Washington. not one case nav
ing developed wherein he made a mistake
in a trade or sale. Last season Falken-
berg and AltiZeE were sold for $4,000 to
Cleveland, as the latter team was in the
running for the pennant and needed sea-
soned material instead OF experiments.
Altizer has been sold to Chicago by Cleve-
land, and now a report comes from Boston
that the Maps have asked for waivers
on Falkenberg. 'Falk's" delivery is
slow edition Of the spit ball., and the
great prominence of the latter has pract-
cally driven him out of first-clasS COM
pany, as the players have been hitting him
very hard of late. At that the tall boy
may go very well in the minors and make
almost as much as he does now in the
ma jors. Joe never lets the good ones go,
so don t worry about Burns.

ANNUAL FIGHT
 OVER SCHOOLS H. B. Wilkinson and Dr. |. ).
 Cameron For Trustee OF THE GRAMMAR SCHOOLS
Battle Rages Mainly Around Professor Stillwell Who Issues a Statement--Friends of MT. Wilkinson Contend That He Should Not Be an Issue.

More interest is being taken in the grammar school election today than in any preceding election since the days when Superintendent Creager used to line up his forces against the enemy. Several candidates have been mention ed but yesterday afternoon they mar rowed down to two. H. B. Wilkinson and Dr l.. D. Dameron- There are several issues, one of which the segre- sation of the colored children, the sale of the Center street property but the main one is the present administration of the schools. It is around Professor Stilwell that the battle rages.
 At first W. C. Dawes was regarded as the Stilwell candidate and John T. Dunlap as the anti administration can didate. It was definitely settled yes terday that neither of those gentlemen would be candidate and Dr Dameron and MT. Wilkinson were settled upon as the standard bearers.
 Professor Stilwell yesterday issued the following statement:
 ''To the Electors of School District
 No I:
 After a service of four years in your schools I feel that you are ready to express an opinion as to my ef- ficiency in the school work and my standing in this community.

want it. Lists of articles of supplies needed are furnished the. board every year and the list is duplicated for sev- eral companies for bids Last sum mer Mir. Ely directed me to select the goods in Chicago as he had found the lowest bid in that city.
 Tt is the opinion of many who have expressed to the teachers that if those opposed would visit the schools and give some time to investigation, much less complaint would arise.
 Thanking you for your support in the past and submitting my future work to your decision. I am.
 Very respectfully.
 "J. F. STILWELL."
 In regard to a published statement that Professor Stilwell had used un- becoming language to one of the girl pupils of the school and had expelled her. eXpelling her from school and calling her bad name. lady teacher of the school, cognizant of the whole affair called at The Republican office yesterday to say that a great injustice had been done to Mir. Stilwell She said that she had first brought the , case to the attention of the superin- tendent and at the suggestion of the grandparents of the girl they took the matter up and endeavored to reform her. That the girl was dismissed from school was true as it was necessary but the teacher said that neither she nor Professor Stilwell had lost interest in her and the teacher was now pleas ed to say that the girl was in the right path
 A delegation of the teachers visited this office last night to submit the fol- lowing statement:
 There has been a rumor current to the effect that the teachers of the Phoenix schools are opposed to Mir Stilwell and his work. but actual in vestigation. on the part of a committee representing the teacher-body shows this to be untrue. The greater majority of the teachers have expressed them selves in perfect harmony with and approval of the superintendent and his work. and have presented him with proof to that effect: which is on file with the committee"
 On the other hand. the friends of MT. Wilkinson pointed out that the is- sue should not be MT. StilweH They contend that the schools are of greater importance than the welfare of any man in Phoenix; that MT Wilkinson has committed himself to no course. But they say he will take such a course as may seem best in the cir cUmstanCcs
 One of them put the sentiments of the supporters of Mir Wilkinson in the following form
 The line up today is Dameron for Stilwell against Wilkinson"
 Tt is possible that the citizens Of Phoenix cannot select a school trustee without first consulting Professor StiI- well"
 We still insist that the election of a school trustee is the issue. and not. school superintendent
 Tt does not appear that Wilkinson is fighting Stilwell. but Stilwell. Will kinson."

able for impressionable young people,
is at times difficult. The best maya

While the editors keep in mind the
eager desire of the young for tales OF
action, enterprise and adventure, these
stories in The Companion are so well
written as to fascinate men and wo-
men in all stages of life's journey. And
this is true not only of the fiction in
The Companion, but of the entire con-

convey knowledge that is useful to the
wisest and most experienced as well
as To them immature. In short, The
Companion solves the problem for the
