RHODESIA VERY PROSPEROUS
Annual Report of British South Africa
Company Shows the Country
Is Developing.

The annual report recently issued
by the directors of the British South
Africa company discloses that
Rhodesia is developing with remark
able strides. For the year ended
March 81, 1908, the company adj
vanced to the various local railways
no less than 81 100000.
For the last fiscal year this item
fell to $SS5,000, a decrease of more
than half a million dollars, while the
estimated amount that the company
will be required to advance for the
current year is only 100000. In
other words Rhodesia's railroads
have now become practically self
supporting, with every indication
that they will prove source of sub
stantial income in the near future.
A large packing company has re-
Gently bought 100000 acres of
ranching land in southern Rhodesia,
one of the terms of the purchase be-
ing that the area must be fully
stocked within five years. In the
directors report it is set forth that
several mining companies have made
rich STRIKES" a factor that in itself
is certain to attract additional atten-
ton to Rhodesia.

BONES OF PADUKE ARE FOUND
Unfortunately the Remains Of the
Old Indian Chief Lie Be-
meath Factory.

After much historical sounding the
bones of the old Indian chief Pa
duke, from whom Paducah was
named, have been found in the envi-
rons of that city under a singletree
factory. This is proving a little
awkward, but Padueah is going
bravely ahead and there will shortly
be memorial tablet available to
anyone caring to run for Paduke's
sake the risk of an explosion in a
sawmill.
This reminds US of our own ex-
perience with the grave of Pontiac.
This celebrated chief was known to
rest under the Southern hotel, but
whether under the bar or some more
desirable part of the house had, of
course, to be ascertained.
The investigation was prayerful,
to say the least. The bar at the
Southern is kind of high-class
oasis, but it is no place for historic
cal tablet. Moreover, the friends of
Pontiac hoped he was getting more
rest than he could get under the
Southern bar.
However, as it luckily turned out,
Pontiac rests under the north wall
of the rotunda, some so feet from
the bar and slightly aside from
the main highway to it. The tablet
was placed upon that wall and if we
had reburied him we couldn't have
beat the location.
1t was just the difference between
the posthumous luck of Pontiac and
Paduke.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

TO GRAND JURY
Two TOnsOns Get Nipped
Here Wednesday

Mile Tonson and cousin Milostan
Tonson came up on the train We'd
nesday evening from Duluth. At
the train they were met by Chief of
Police Seraphine and assistant who
promptly took them in charge on
complaint of John Martin of this
city. When searched at the station
an ugly looking knife and 3S
calibre revolver were found on
their persons.
The two were on the way from
Duluth for the purpose of killing
Martin who they claimed was keep
ing his sister from marrying Mile
Tonson. Friends of Martin in Du-
1uth wired him of this fact and he
sought the aid of the authorities
with the result that both were
arrested on arrival.
Yesterday before Judge Jury,
Mile Tonson was held to the grand
jury and the cousin was set at
liberty on advice of Duluth author
tiles that he was not the man want
ed there, which was suspected
when he was arrested,
The young lady in question, a
bright and attractive girl of about
20 years told how she had been in
duced to come to this country from
Montenegro to marry Mile, but,
that on arrival, she did not like his
looks and refused to marry him.
This did not suit Mile nor his
cousin and the threats to kill her
brother in this city with whom she
took refuge were the result.
Deputy Sheriff Sig Levy took
Tonson to the county Jail in Du-
luth this morning,

LIVING BAROMETERS.

Certain animals would appear to
act as live barometers. 1t is said
that while frogs remain yellow moth
ing but fine weather may be expect
ed; but should their coats begin to
assume a brown hue it is sign of
coming bad weather.
A spider seen spinning its web in
the morning heralds fine day; if
seen in the evening then at least the
whole of the night and the following
morning will be fine. If it is rain
ing and the owl screeches better
weather will ensue.

PROCEEDINGS OF The

DISTRICT NO. u.
Ely, Mimi, May 18th, 1910.

Ely, Mimi, May 18th, 1910.
An adjourned meeting of the
board was called to order by Presi-
dent Trezona, all members being
present.
The minutes of meeting held
April oath were read and it was
moved and duly carried that the
minutes be amended by inserting
the following:
That DIR. Parker as health officer
at the request of the board attended
the meeting and consulted with it
regarding scarlet fever in the
schools and as to the advisability of
closing the schools. And with the
foregoing clause the minutes be
approved as read.
The following report from DR..
Ayres and Parker was read, order
ed published and filed.
To the Board of Education,
City of Ely.
We wish to advise that in pursu-
ance of your request, we have ex-
amined the children attending the
Lincoln, Central, High and Pho
ner schools. We found seven sus-
poets, all of whom were attending
the Central school. These child
rem were sent home and their homes
placarded. The children were ap-
parently we'll and evidently had
very light attacks. They are rap
idly cleaning up under antiseptic
baths and be believe they will soon
be released from quarantine. They
sh ould not, however, be allowed to
return to school until they can fur
irish medical certificate. In this
connection we might say that we
believe it advisable to not permit
any pupil that has been out of
school for any cause to return un-
til they can furnish a medical GER
tificate. This would help to pre-
vent children who have mild at
tack of contagious disease and who
have had no medical attention,
from returning to school while they
are still dangerous. The Central
school was closed and fumigated by
means of Formaldehyde and For
manganate and then thoroughly
scr ubbed from top to bottom with
an antiseptic solution of Kreso.
We would recommend that here
after when making up the supplies
for the year that a liberal amount
of these disinfectants be ordered
and kept on hand so that any school
or school room may be disinfected
and fumigated at any time. The
janitors and other help about the
buildings can easily do this work
The Central building is not a good
school building 1t is next to inI-
possible to keep it in good sanitary
condition and the ventilation is
poor. B-dbugs, Verinin and other
pests that might infest it would be
extremely difficult to exterminate.
We would recon- mend that all pu-
pills having any skin eruptions,
sores, itch, lice, sore eyes, running
ears, swellings, sore throat or other
suspicious trouble, be eliminated
from school until they have had
these troubles attended and can
furnish medical certificates.
Most Respectfully submitted,
DRS. AYRES & PARKER.
