WIFE GETS
$4,000 FOR LOSS
OF HUSBAND

A verdict was rendered against
the Northern Pacific railroad in
Judge Hinkle's court today for
$4,000 damages. Augusta Steffans
and her minor children being the
plaintiffs.
Michael Steffans, the husband
and father, was killed October 80,
1907, by jumping from train on
which he was a passenger. The
train had got beyond control of the
crew, which so alarmed the passen-
gers that several of them jumped.
Suit was brought for 100000
damages and the verdict of today Is
in the nature of a compromise.

GREAT WRONG DONE.
''In the case of J. II. Elliott a
great wrong has been done an old
soldier and his family, without any
justification therefor" said Mr.
Clark in discussing the case. 1t is
beyond the power Of the relief com
mittee of Reno post to offer redress
for this wrong, but we demand that
justice be done in this case.
The only way that justice can be
had is through an appeal to the pub.

honesty Of the loyal people of Spo
kane
Sufficient has come to light
through the emasculated investiga
ton Of the partisan committee ap-
pointed by Mayor Pratt to show the
need of complete and thorough in
vestigation of the facts in the case
am informed that sworn charges
have been filed against the police
department, which are to be heard
by the board of police commission
ers. AS this matter has twice been
before the heads of the police de
partment, without action either
time, hereby, in the name of the
Grand Army of the Republic, de-
mand that fair and unbiased com
mittee be now appointed by differ
ent civic bodies and the Crane
Army to go to the bottom of this
case, and at the same time inquire
into all other charges that may be
made against the police.
Il would suggest that this com
mittee consist of five members
one to be appointed by the Won
ans club, one by the Grand Army
one by the Central Labor council
one by the Allied German societies
and the other by the president OF
the city council. The civic organi
cations named have been more OF
less active in this matter and are
the proper bodies to take up this
investigation and see that right
prevails"

TUBERCULOSIS
EXHIBIT IS
ATTRACTING

More interest was taken in the
tuberculosis exhibit at the armory
last night than on the opening
night and still the attendance was
not so large as it should have been.
Children from the various public
schools of the city inspected the
exhibit yesterday afternoon and
learned many things that are con-
ducive to health and long life.
The state has gone to heavy
expense in preparing this exhibit
for the purpose of carrying on an
educational campaign in the pre-
vention and cure of disease. Inter
esting lectures are delivered each
evening and no charge is made for
admission.
The exhibit will be open at the
armory until Saturday evening and
it is thought that the attendance
will be better from now until its
close.

The ceremony, while simple, was

orchestra rendered several exquisite
selections
Few young couples embark upon the
sea of matrimony with the happy fell

The parents of Mr.. Murphy and his
bride were pioneers of Phoenix and the
young people have grown up in this
city. Mrs. Murphy is a young woman

country school structure he has ever
seen on earth. He thinks he is safe
in saying that no finer country school
building can be found in the United
States. While he has not seen all
of the United States he is pretty
well acquainted in large part of
the Mississippi valley and never has
seen its equal as a country school
building in all that section. 1t is
a fact that most of the towns of our
country, of from 1900 to 1000 popu
lation do not have its equal. The
building in itself is a fine structure
viewed from the outside and it is
even better inside. The equipment is
modern and UP to date.
Professor Jantzen is at the head
of the school and is supported by
very strong corps of teachers. While
there has been a large outlay of
money for the building and equip
ment. every dollar seems to have
been well spent as the children are
more than getting it back.

SUPERINTENDENT VISITS
COUNTRY SCHOOLS
Has Only Words of Praise For the
VuIture and Osborn institutions.

County Superintendent A. H Full
ton is spending what little time he
can get for that purpose, visiting the
county schools. Last Friday he went
to Wickenburg intending to visit the
| Wickenburg school but about as soon
| as he arrived there he met A E.
Mckay, manager of the Vulture mine
and an automobile that was all
ready and equipped for a trip from
there to the mine, and back again in
the afternoon. Mr.. Mckay persuaded
the superintendent that that was
about the best opportunity he would
ever have to see the Vulture school
at the mine so he made the trip
there instead of visiting the Wicken-
burg school.
The superintendent says that the
Vulture Mining company is doing
things in a grand way, not only in
respect of its extensive mining oper-
atoms which 1t would take a man
better versed than himself to under
stand only in small part, but that
the company has done a grand thing
by its employees and especially the
children of all who are located there
by building for their use an excellent
school house. He found a well ap-
pointed building and a school of
twenty seven pupils under the direc-
ton Of Miss Media Dickinson, and all
going along splendidly. He thinks
that the camp will have a fine school
this year as 1t has surely made an
excellent start.
A more generous hand toward a
school has never been shown in the
county than that company has shown
toward its local children. Miss Media
Dickinson seems to be strong in her
work, so Superintendent Fulton feels
relieved of care concerning that
school.
Monday the superintendent got an
hour and a half in which to visit
the Osborn school north of Phoenix.
There he saw for the first time the
districts most imposing public school
building. He says it is the finest
