Error in Regard
to Examinations

Owing to an error in advertising
the teachers examinations, many
teachers in this state have been
greatly inconvenenced and put to
much unnecessary hardship and ex-
pense. The last issue of the State
School Journal, the Official organ of
the state board of education, which,
according to law, Is sent to the clerk
of every school board and paid for
from the school funds. contained
notice that the examinations would
be held November 27, % and 20.
This information was given as official
notice of the examination direct
from the department of public in
struction at Carson City. Many of
the state papers, including the News.
copied the article in the form that 1t
was given out by the superintendent
of public inxruction.
In consequence of this notice,
many teachers of the state who were
too far away from mail centers to
obtain authoritative information from
other sources have driven in to the
various places where the examina-
tions were advertised to be held,
only to find that the notice was
wrong, and that the examination will
not be held until the 9th, 2Sth and
18th of December.
The News regrets its part in cir
culating the erroneous information,
but as the official notice was copied
from the official organ of the state
board of education, in the form and
substance that it was given there,
and with the exact dates officially
given out. the News, and other state
papers which published the notice,
can in no way be held responsible for
the injury done to the teachers who
have been mislead

the terms of which considerable de-
yelopment work was TO be performed
on the Butte and Ely for the purpose
OF discovering new ore bodies. II is
believed that the officers of the COM

mine upon the nature of the work
that would be Instituted.

work was accomplished about a year

ARE
FOUND NOT
GUILTY

Fred Megilton and w. r. Bauer.
under Indictment for grand larceny,
were found not guilty of stealing q
yearling calf from Swallow Brothers
of Shoshone. The jury deliberated
on the issues of the case about ten
minutes, and a unanimous verdict
was reached on the second ballot. II
is understood that the first test vote
resulted in ten votes for acquittal
while two of the jury neld out for
conviction
The twelve persons in whom the
fate of the defendant rested filed into
the court room within twenty min
utes after the case had been present
ed, and no one who was present In
the court building doubted what the
outcome would be. When the de-
PENDANTS heard from the foreman of
the jury the words that freed them
from the stigma of felon, they ap-
peared to be pereeptibly affected.
The following persons composed
the jury: John c. Cox, Thomas
Carroll. John w. Nyce, Joseph Brack-
en-. David Irish. Charles Gall, o. H.
Paulson, S. A. Glenn, H. II. Black
we'll. E. w. Hulse, William Klein
haus and J. T. Trembath.
The fact that the defendants had
been previously tried in the justice
court at Osceola, and entered a plea
of guilty to the offense with which
they had been charged was largely
instrumental in bringing about their
acquittal. The prosecution attempt
ed to prevent Justice Marriott, be-
fore whom the case was heard, from
giving his testimony, on the ground
that he had no right to give the ac-
eused a hearing for the reason the
theft of cattle without regard to the
value was a felony under a recent
enactment of the legislature of Ne
yada Justice Marriott was per-
mitted to testify by Judge Coleman.

REPUBLICANS AT
 ODDS OVER PAP
Andy Shepard Defeated For Congress Sees Taft and Ex-
 poets to Have Say
Tilson's Hopes May be Disap- pointed-Brandegee is With TiIson and Mclean With Shepard

A Special to The Courant, under a Washington date says:
 All is not serene among Connecticut Republican leaders regarding the dis tribution of Federal patronage in. the State. Colonel Andrew N. Shepard of Portland, who was defeated for Con- gresS by Representative Reilly, Dem- crat, wants to control the patronage in his home county, MiddleseX. He claims he is entitled to control all the federal patronage in the Second Dis trict under the old rule in vogue in | Connecticut that defeated congress- tional candidates belonging to the party controlling the national admin istration shall distribute the patron age in his district.
 Colonel Shepard is not however, in sisting upon controlling all the Second District federal patronage. He will be content with the MiddleseX county pa tronage.
 Colonel Shepard has been here with in the last twenty-four hours. He came to see RepresentativeTilson and talk the matter over with him, think ing, it is understood, an agreement might be reached between them to divide the patronage in the district, Tilson taking the New Haven county officers. Tilson is off for the Mexi- can DOrQef, however, so SHepdfu could not find him.
 Shepard saw his friend Senator Me- Lean. The latter does not seem to care to discuss the matter Shepard was attending the National Tobacco Growers convention at Baltimore but has now gone home. Everybody is willing that Tilson shall control New Haven county federal patronage. It is said that Senator Brandegee wants Tilson to have all the Second District patronage. Tilson said some weeks ago that the President asked him to distribute patronage throughout the district. It is said on the other side that the President did not do this un- til it had been represented to him that nobody but Iilson wanted the patronage.
 Now Shepard is out to distribute the MiddleseX County patronage, and it is understood that representations will be made to President Taft that he ought to have it. Where the matter will end is not known, but it is eX- pected that the Shepard people will eventually win out. MT. Tilson is au- thority for the statement that there will not even be a post office to fill in the Second District for several months.

BEAUTIFUL JEWESS TAKES GAS TO
 END HER LIFE
Wants to Join Her Good Dr. Latson in the Spirit World and Cries in Anger at Failure of Suicide Attempt
Especial from United Press. )


 New York, May 13.-Desiring to join Dr. w. R. c. Latson, her good man. in the spirit world, Miss Alta Marhevl<a, the beautiful Russian Jewess aid of the physician who was found self slain, Thursday night, to- day. attempted to end her life by gas. She is now in the Washington Heights Hospital, @ prisoner. It is believed that she will recover.
 My good man is floating through the cerulean blue wearing wings and want to join him." Miss Marhevka cried in anger when she found that her attempts at self destruction had probably been baked.
 Dr. LatSon, known as the mystic taught Miss 'tAfarhevka and others that there is no such thing as death. Consequently, when she found the doctor kneeling and un- conscious in his office and was later told that he had killed himself, she insisted that he had merely changed his form of life and she declared at once that she would join him.
 Early today, Mrs. John Washing ton, with whom Miss Marhevka lived, smelled gas, which she traced to the bathroom. Finding the door locked, she summoned aid and the door was broken open. Miss Marhevka lay un- conscious on the floor. The jet of the gas pipe had been broken off. Miss Marheyka had been in a highly nervous state ever since the discovery of Dr. Latson's body. Several times during last night she asked whether the police were coming to arrest her. Mrs Washington feared that the dis tracted girl might attempt suicide and slept but lightly. It was this fact that made her being easily awak- ened by the smell of gas.
