NO QUESTION OF VOTERS DESIRES
Relative to Erection Of niqh School
Bu;ldieq After the Saturdays
T1orfsfn

The mooted question whether O,
no the voters of the 1udependen,
School District of Virginia want a
new high school wac settled to g
nicely on Saturday last, 80 definite.
iy in fact that there is little q uestiou
of the matter being accepted az un.
animous and we anticipate that in
compliance with the expressed
wishes of the voters the Board OF
Education will proceed forthwith
to bond not only for high school
but for two brick ward schools in
both the north and south edges OF
the city.
The vote on the high school stood
500 in favor ss against 50, while the
vote on the erection of grade
school in the north part of the city
received $50 against3l and the prop
osition for the erection of a grade
school in the south part of the city
received 500 as against 43. The
question of bonding for the new
high school showed AGA favoring the
idea as against 104 opposed. for
bonding the north side grade school
334 as against 1873 opposed, and for
bonding for the south side grade
school 80 favoring the proposition
as against 2O5 opposed.
The ballot tor the location of the
proposed new high school was also
a definite response by the voters,
426 voting to have same located on
Block 81, while ia voted against
this location and IS voted to have
same located on Block AZ, the same
block as the Roosevelt building.
The vote on the choice for trustees
was matter of minor importance
to many, but the work of the re-
spective candidates and the work
against certain of them showed in
the ballot, Guy H. Moore leading
the roll by vote of 4l8, while JOS
eph Roskilly showed up with a win.
ming hand, his vote being 333. w.
T. Irwin and C. c. Butler, the defeat
ed candidates received 3O3 and ESQ
votes, respectively. the fight for
second place between Messrs. Irwin
and Roskilly being close.
The re.submission of the ques-
tions involved in the vote but evi.
denced the desires OF the people of
the district relutive to school inn
provements, and while there may
still be some wf.,,,s::ontend that the
erection of the high school is an
unnecessary expense to the distric,
and uncalled for at this time it is
evident the great majority of the
people of the district would have to
be shown by some unbiased person
before taking much stock in the
argument.
The plans of the new high school,
as shown in the recent issue of The
Mesabi, with slight alterations, will
be employed in the new building,
and when complete the building
should be the finest on the Mime
sofa ranges. It will also, in con-
junction with the additional grade
schools authorized by the vote, care
for the growing needs of the dis
trict tor many y ears, and materially
assist to keep Virginia in her proper
place as the educational center of
the range.

DEMOCRATIC PEERS.
The House Of Peers Not One of Birth
or Ancestry.

Strangely enough, the house of lords
still remains the most democratic in
stitution in England. 1t may still
claim for itself to be the Witenagemot
or gathering Of wise men, and one
wonders why it does not defend itself
along those lines.
1t is not house Of birth or ances.
try, for it is composed today to an
overwhelming extent of successful
men from almost every walk of life

abeth was the daughter of plain Eng

1t is evident that if queens of Eng

The Englishman would not be what
he is nor would he in the least be
transmitting his very valuable Saxon
heritage If he gave up his democratic
custom of an aristocracy of power for
the feeble continental custom of an
aristocracy Of birth. What the one
and the other is today answers the
question as to the relative merits of
the two systems without need of dis.
cussion. The English, though nova
days many Of them do not know II
are the most democratic
of all nations.

ENDS INDIGESTION.

5 Every family here ought to
keep some Diapepsin in the house,
as any one may have an attack
of Indigestion or Stomach trouble
at any time, day or night.
This harmless preparation will
digest anything you eat and over
come a sour stomach five minutes
al rwards.
/. your meals don't tempt you,
or what little you do eat seems to
fill you, or lays like a lump Of
lead in your stomach, or if you
have heartburn, that is a sign of
Indigestion.
Ask your Pharmacist for a So
cent case of Pape's Diapepsin and
take one triangule after supper
tonight. There will be no sour
risings, no belching of undigested
food mixed with acid, no stomach
gas or heartburn, fullness or
heavy feeling in the stomach,
Nausea, Debilitating Headaches,
Dizziness or Intestinal gripping.
This will all go, and, besides, there
will be no sour food left over in
the stomach to poison your breatG-
with nauseous odors.
Pape's Diapepsin is a certain
cure for all stomach misery, be-
cause it will take hold of your
food and digest it just the same
as if your stomach wasn't there.
Actual, prompt relief for all
your stomach misery is at your
Pharmacist, waiting for you.
These large 50-cent cases con-
tain more than sufficient to cure a
case of Dyspepsia or Indigestion.

AN UNUSUAL REAL ESTATE
TCCTTE

On Saturday, April the Boston
Evening Transcript will contain a
vast amount of matter of special
interest to persons looking for
summer homes to purchase or to
rent; and of more than usual in
terest to people desiring to buy
or hire city, suburban or country
properties of various classes. The
real estate agents are being call
ed upon earlier this year than has
been the custom in the past, for
estates in desirable centers, and
the demand seems to more than
equal the supply. The opportun-
ity for giving publicity to prop
critics of all descriptions through
the medium of a newspaper like
the Boston Transcript in the
issue of April will surely not
pass UNDECIDED. Builders of new
houses, property owners who are
DESTROYS of selling or exchanging
their holdings, agents and others
will not permit such a chance to
pass by. The "Real Estate" and
Houses for the Summer" adver-
tisements of that date will be of
great interest. Each class will be

THE HEART CAN'T STAND
RHEUMATIC ACID
POISONING.
The Uric-O Treatment Expells the
Poison from the Blood.

Those sharp, shooting pains thru
the chest around the region of the
heart mean that poisonous uric
and rheumatic acid are there
ready to spring and grip tightly
the muscles controlling the hearts
action. Don't neglect these warn
ings. You must neutralize and
drive these dangerous poisons
from the system, or sooner or
later they will overcome you.
The only true way to cure Rheu-
matism is to get at it from the in
side with Uric-O. 1t acts with
marvellous swiftness upon the
muscles, kidneys and blood. Cleans
out the sand-like deposits in the
muscles, forces the kidneys to
perform those duties for which
they we're designed and neutral
ICES the acid within the blood.
Uric-O is a liquid taken inter-
nally, times daily, and does not
contain any morphine, opium or
so-called pain deadners." Sci
atica, Muscular, Inflammatory and
Articular rheumatism all yield
readily to Uric-O.

WOMEN'S WOES.
Bradford Women are Finding Relief

1t does seem that women have
more than a fair share of the aches
and pains that afflict humanity
they must keep up, must attend
to duties in spite of constantly ach-

over, when to stoop means torture.
They must walk and bend and work

from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ
of the body. Keep the kidneys
well and health is easily maintained.

AN INTERNAL MACHINE.
Its Fearful and Deadly Work In the
Bremerhaven Explosion.

BremerhaVen Explosion.
The greatest fatality ever caused by
an Internal machine is known as the
Bremerhaven explosion. and it occur
red near the end Of 1875, when a fell
low who called himself Thomas and
was said to be an American took up
his residence with his family in Brem-
en-. His finances were at a low ebb,
and to replenlsh them he conceived the
idea Of sending to America some
worthless but highly insured packages
of goods. By the same vessel he in
tended to ship an Internal machine,
which was to have exploded a few
days after the vessel had left port
The explosion occurred, however, just
before the package was put on board,
causing terrible loss Of life.
Thomas, whose real name was said
to be Alexander, charged his machine
with nitroglycerin, which he had pro-
cured In America and purchased the
clockwork and the case containing the
machine In Germany. The hammer of
the clockwork, which was to act in six
days after leaving port, was to strike
a blow of thirty pounds weight. In
his confession later Thomas said that
when testing the clockwork the ham,
mer smashed a mahogany table.
He sent the contrivance to Bremen
haven to be shipped on the Mosel for
New York via Southampton. He him
self took passage to the latter port,
where he had arranged to ship his
cases Of rubbish for New York. The
Mosel was to leave Bremerhaven on
Saturday, Dec II, and on that day
the Internal machine was sent to the
dock. which was crowded with porters,
passengers and their friends. For some
reason that has never been explained
the heavy case slipped from the crane
on to the wharf as II was being lifted
up the ships side. and the charge was
instantly exploded Death and destruc-
ton were dealt around, 12s men, wo-
men and children being instantly
killed, while fifty-six others were ter
ribly wounded.
Thomas was waiting on board the I
ship to receive his case and see 1t
slowed away in the hold, but right aft 4
er the explosion he went to his cabin, I
locked the door and shot himself in the /
head with a revolver.
He fingered for several days in the /
hospital and made full confession be-
fore he died-Exchange

MAXWELL ENDURANCE TEST

Ten thousand miles of running
without stopping the engine is an
automobile trip which was a few
years ago undreamed of and which
even today is one that few manu-
facturers of cars would dare to at
tempt, none in fact other than the
MaXwell-Briscoc Company.
This great mileage is by no means
hard for car under ordinary con-
ditions, at least not for a Maxwell,
but the fact the engine Of the Max
well car must not stop while max
ing this distance is what makes the
trip difficult and in all truth it is
the most strenuous task ever inn
posed on an automobile engine
However, it is a feat which the
Maxwell car is now performing and
likely to consummate, a feat which
will give the engine that is used in
the famous Maxwell car the posi-
ton of par excellence of automo-
bile engines in America.
The run which the car is now
making was begun at 10 o clock on
Thursday, March Is, when Presi-
dent r. L. Speare of the American
Automobile Association cranked
the engine in front of the Bay State
Automobile Association, Boston 1t
was he who started the engine
which has since been running day |
and night, carrying the car with its
driver, observer and two passengers
over the roads between Boston and
Worcester, in six round trips or
nearly $50 miles each day, THIS
number of miles is far below that
possible for a Maxwell but is the
number made in order to keep in
side the speed limits of the State.
However, it is the fact that the en-
CINE must run so long without
stop that makes this one the great
est ever held in America, for, as
has been stated it is a nonstop en-
CINE run such as has never before
been attempted since the introduce
ton of the automobile,
1t is hard to conceive Just what
a run of this kind means, but some
idea of the immensely Of the task
mat be imagined from the fact
that on the run the car will travel
three times the distance from New
York to California and the engine
will have to run about 600 hours,
day and night, in snow and rain,
and will have to perform its func-
tions without a let-up or an adjust
ment. The present nonstop en-
CINE record of $500 miles was made
by a Maxwell and it now looks as
though it will be Maxwell that
will set a new mark that will be be
vond attempts of all others for
Gears to come, and if successfully
accomplished will be considered
one of the greatest automobile and
engine performances ever made.
The attempt to establish the new
record is the result of the great con-
fdence in the Maxwell product
that is held by +. J. Tyler of Bos-
ton. 1t was this that caused him
about a month ago to issue a chal-
lenge to all manufacturers for a
long distance nonstop run. For a
while after the challenge was made
it looked as though a number OF
cars would take up the gauntlet
thrown down in behalf Of the Max
well. but as the time for starting
the event drew near the expected
acceptors of the challenge with
drew, one by one, for one reason or
another, until finally there were
none left to try conclusions with !
