SCHOOL NOTES.

During the week Superintendent
Mellencamp has been engaged in a
in q general examination of the pupils
of the school to ascertain the condition
Of eyesight of the various ones, and it
was surprising to find the large number
who were more or less deficient in this
respect. It has been found in schools
elsewhere that this is often the real
cause for poor work of pupils and q
factor which should be given careful
attention by parents when such occurs
among their children. Special vision
charts are being used which were sup
piled by prominent Chicago optic al
firm.
Owing to the big storm of Wednes-
day great many of the pupils were
absent from school. This was mostly
in the case of the smaller children and
especially those who are oblidged to
come some distance.
The epedemic of measls which has
been very prevalent in this village dur
ing the past two weeks is gradually
decreasing. No very serious cases were
reported, although in all it has material
ly affected the general attendance,
especially in the grades.
The boys and girls basket ball teams
are at Hancock today where they are
to play two hard games with the teams
Of that place. They are expected to
return this evening on the midnight
train.
A number Of the H. s. boys accom-
panied the City Basket Ball team to
Marquette last Saturday ahd took in the
sights aud game. They report jolly
good time.

Confiscate Small Fish.

Thursday morning Deputy Game
Wardens Eddy, of Sault Ste Marie and
Gipp, Of Calumet, were in L'Anse,
where they came to investigate some
reports concerning illegal fishing which
was being done in the bay.
Upon going TO the points where the
nets were set, and upon investigation
they found that net after net was set
for herring and were set alternate with
trout and white fish nets.
The result was that the herring nets
contained a quantity of undersize trout
and Of these they took six which, when
weighed, made a total of only five
pounds. They claimed that the largest
one Of the five was the largest one Of
the gang of nets, and it would hardly
weigh pound.
The nets belong to Assinins fisher
men and vicinity. Messrs Eddy and
Gipp both went to the Mission, where
they gave the violators orders to take
up their nets or prosecution would fol-
low.

L'Anse City Team defeated.

Before one Of the largest crowds
that ever gathered in Legion Hall, the
Marquette City basket ball team de-
feated the L'Anse City team by score
Of 26 to- II Saturday evening. Good
team work was impossible, owing to
the large crowd, but both teams
worked hard and fast throughout the
game. Klamert's boys band made
their first public appearance at this
game and their music was enthusiastic
ally received. The band numbered
fourteen pieces, all boys, and their
work was excellent, considering that
they have been organized only short
time. Sullivan's Peerless orchestra
furnished dance music after the game,
which was enjoyed by large number.
A Marquette paper comments on the
game in the following manner:--

Abe Ruef Given
Fourteen Years
Notice of Appeal Given-Climax of
Long Struggle Marked by
Dramatic Events.

San Francisco, Dec. 30.-Fourteen
years in the penitentiary, the maxi
mum, was the sentence meted out
Tuesday to Abraham Ruef, who for
four years directed the political des-
TIMES of San Francisco as adviser of
the administration of Eugene E.
Schmitz, mayor of the city.
Judgment was pronounced at the
close of a day devoted to legal bat
tie, wherein the defense sought to
introduce many reasons for a new
trial. There was no demonstration
on the part of the spectators during
the proceedings in the courtroom,
nor later when Ruef, having entered
the prison van in the custody of a
deputy sheriff, started in the dusk
on his long ride to the county Jail.
Before the adjournment of court
notice of appeal had been filed on
behalf of the defendant and the
court had signed a writ of probable
cause, which will act as a stay of
execution.
In a trial that was prolonged
through period OF nearly lOur
months Ruef was convicted, Decem-
ber 10, of bribing John ]. Furey, an
ex-supervisor, to favor the award of
an overhead trolley franchise to the
United Railroads. This was one of
ia indictments returned against
Ruef by the Oliver grand jury.
One of the many incidents that
tended to make the trial o. Ruef re-
markable was the shooting of AS
sistant District Attorney Francis j..
Heney by Morris Haas, an ex-con-
vict, whose past record was exposed
by the prosecutor after the would-be
slayer had been accepted as mem
bers of the jury. Haas subsequently
committed suicide in the county Jail.
