Laid to Rest

The funeral of Mrs. A. J. Fenske
took place Saturday afternoon at
2 o'clock from the residence. At
the home, Revs. Hughes and Sridd
conducted brief services and a
quartet composed of Mrs. Strachan,
Miss Dodds and Messrs Schweick-
hard and Strachan sang Nearer
My God to Thee" The young
people of the Catholic church also
recited the rosary.
The body was then taken to the
Catholic church where the impress
sive burial services of the church
was given by Rev. Father Buh
who also spoke few words of
comfort to the sorrowing relatives.
Miss Stringham sang Lead Kindly
Light" and Abide With Me-"
Almost the entire populace turn
ed out to attend the last sad rites
over the remains of one who was a
friend and beloved by all. The
pupils of the schools led by their
teachers attended and lined the
streets on both sides between the
house and the church, forming a
line through which the cortege
passed. Over 1000 people were

To make good schools, good
teachers are needed. Good teachers
are more than essential than great
buildings. A district may have the
finest school structures in the
country and yet be in the second
class. In order to have good
teachers good wages must be paid.
This fact is being brought forcibly
home in many of the districts of
the state. Ely is not affreted that
way and has both good teachers
and good buildings with every con-
veuience to. make the acquiring of
an education easy. 1t is also up to
the pupil to do his share. How
many of the solid business men of
this city can boast of the educa-
tional advantages the present youth
possesses. Yet they have made
good which goes to show that it is
not all school houses and modern
improvements that does the bust
ness. Personal application and a
desire to succeed is an incentive.
Ambition on the part of the pupil
is the first great requisite.

Good Exhibition

The exhibition wrestling bout at
the Labor Temple Friday evening
between Alex Jarvinen the noted
Finnish champion and Martin
Johnson the Duluth fireman was
good and enjoyed by full house.
Jarvinen is by all odds the best
man that has appeared here in the
wrestling game and while Johnson
was no match for his heavy oppon-
emit, he nevertheless put up a good
scrap. The affair was not Pill
akoff" travesty at any rate and the
bout was a good and clean exhibit
ton. Jarvinen won two falls on
Johnson. As preliminary. Ed.
Kilponen and Matt Karkkainen,
two local young men gave one of
the neatest and most clever exhibit
tions put on here in some time.
Both of these young men are fast
and know much of the game.

present, the school population
alone furnishing over 1900 and was
a marked contrast to the eighteen
pupils that greeted Mrs. Fenske,
their first teacher, on her advent
into the city. A large concourse
also followed the remains to the
last resting place in the cemetery.
The funeral was attended by
relatives from outside as follows:
Mrs. V. c, Burnett of Detroit.
Mich, Mrs. Emma Clubine of
Mount Clemans, Mich, sisters of
deceased; Mr.. and Mrs. w.
Lawrence, son and daughter, Mrs.
Harriet, and w. Probeck, of Du-
luth; Mrs. E. J. Bricker of Min
neapolis. Mrs. Burnett and Mrs.
Clubine are still here, the former
leaving for home tomorrow and the
latter to remain until the closing of
the schools.

THE citizens of Duluth Tuesday
voted into the city charter the re-
call, initiative and referendum by
an overwhelming vote. Of $500
ballots recorded, 1881 favored the
amendment to the charter. This
gives the voters of Duluth chance
to fire" the city officers providing
they are not exactly what is
wanted. The opinion seems to be
general that officers elected by the
people will be of a better grade
under the amendment than for
merly.

THE officers of the Eighth Dis
trict convention of the Federated
Women's Clubs held i'll Duluth
went on record as favoring the
legal age of women in this state
from Is to Fl years. The law now
says that because a girl is Is she is
old enough to be married and old
enough to protect and care for her
self, and if delinquent she must be
sentenced to penal, instead of a
correctional institution. Women
are to remain minors until they
are FL, is the program.
