Mathew Week, an old resident of
this city who for years has followed
mining hereabouts, died Monday
afternoon on Burnside Lake where
himself and Willie Kangas had in
tended to trap for the winter.
1t seems that Week became ex-
hausted when only a short distance
from Camp 25 of the Oliver Mining
company and sat down to rest.
Kangas, seeing Week was i'll start
ed for the camp for help and when
returning with assistance, his com
panion was dead.
Undertaken Laing was notified
and he went out for the body. A
post-mortem disclosed the fact that
Week had died of heart failure.
He was 81 years of age and leaves a
son in Ely and, wife and children
i'll Finland.
The funeral will take place Sun
day from the Finnish church. The
Knights of Kaleva of which deceas-
ed was member will have charge
of the funeral.

James Snyder, aged So years, an
employe of Camp Is of the St.
Croix Lumber Company where he
was barn boss, died suddenly in
this city Saturday afternoon.
Snyder had come down from camp
the day previous and was intending
to return at once. He felt a little
indisposed and went to his room
over Crossman's S to rest. He did
not reach the room but was found
shortly after standing against the
wall dead. Heart disease was the
cause of death. His former home
was at Little Falls and he has a
brother in Idaho who, so far, has
not been located. The funeral
took place Wednesday from the
Catholic church.

more, there is not yet talk of sales.
Mr.. Woodbridge reports great
quantity of iron ore developed dur
ing the past year, especially on the
Guyana range. He finds also that
immense deposits have been located
on the Mesaba range and on the
Michigan ranges. The steel cor
poration's proportion of the total
output for 1918 is shown to be
about one half of the total. 1t has
shipped more than its minimum
from the Great Northern leases.
The year closes with uncertainty
as to the immediate future, though
there are many signs that point to
a material betterment of conditions
soon. While ore buyers will not
concede the prices they paid year
ago, the mines have so increased
their costs that cuts will eliminate
their profits. The S-hour day, now
general, results in about IS per
cent of the return that was Gus
tomary from the 1O-hour day. and
all other costs tend to mount grad
ually. A liquidation of labor is
imminent, for the situation as to
work itself in the past 90 days.
This latter may increase efficiency
and reduce costs somewhat, but on
the whole the immediate future
presents many unsettled questions

CHISHOLM TONIGHT
There Will be Some Game This
Evening" ---ChishO|n VS.. Ely

The Ely team having lost the
two first games played, one to Gil
bert and one to Aurora, proposes
after this to keep its record clean
and will proceed tonight to put this
determination in practice by win
ming the game at the Lincoln gym
nasium from the strong Chisholm
team. Chisholm is equally deter
mined to carry off the bacon and
the result will be some basketball
that will be basketball and game
contested from beginning to end.
Last year Ely went through the
entire season without a defeat and
this record will be duplicated from
tonight on providing the other
teams do not object too strenuous
ly.
The boys are in hopes that the
rooters will turn out in force and
give them their moral as we'll as
financial support. The game will
begin at $50. Be there.
The inter-class series at the
gymnasium came to a close We'd
nesday evening when the Seniors
were declared the victors. The
Seniors and Juniors played the de-
Gliding game which was won by the
upper classmen on score of ~ to

mores and Freshmen was a hard
fought battle being finally won by
the Sophomores on a score of 10 to

score was tied, to s. Another
five minutes was given the teams
and after many hard scramble the

LOOKING BETTER
Steel Prices Boosted MANY Men
Put to Work

Notices of advances in quotations
of several iron and steel products
have been issued this week from
Pittsburg and Chicago. The stiff
fening up is said to be due alto
gether to better mill operations and
the receipt of specifications at rate
exceeding the volumne of ship
ments.
The Carnegie Steel company has
withdrawn from the market as a
seller of steel bars, having booked
all the tonnage it cares to carry for
the first six months of the year.
The American Sheet & Tin Plate
company, United States Steel cor
poration subsidiary, has advanced
its prices on black sheets to 81. go
per 100 pounds, and it is expected
that the independents will raise
their figures to the new level.
AS experts see it, there is under
way a progressive Improvement IN
the iron and steel trade situation,
it being estimated that 100, 900 ad-
ditional men have been taken on at
the various plants since the first of
the year.
The tin plate mills are said to
show the greatest Improvement, at
present about 315 hot mills being
now in operation, representing be-
tween IS and 90 per cent of the full
force. This is the largest per-
centage of operation in several
years.
The sheet branch of the in
dustry is said to make the next
best showing, with from rs to 81
per cent of the mills in operation
against an average of from so to 90
per cent during December.

FINISHED BOOKS
Auditing Committee Of South
SIaVOniC Union Finish Work

The auditing committe compris-
ing members from six states of the
Union who have been auditing the
books of Grand Secretary Geo. L.
Brozich and Grand Treasurer John
Gouze of this city the past week
completed their labors Saturday
and left for their homes. The task
was large one owing to the enor-
nous number of accounts and the
committee with the assistance of
the local officers had the time of
their lives wrestling with figures.
The books were found in excellent
condition which speaks we'll for the
local officers.
The executive officers of the
Union comprised the auditing
board and were as follows: John
Germ, president of Braddock, Pa. +,
Michael Klobuchar. vice president
of Calumet, Mich, Louis Kostelc,
treasurer of the orphans fund at
Salida, Colo, Michael Sunich,
trustee of Calumet, Mich, Peter
Spehar. trustee of Kansas City,
Kan, John Kerznick, trustee of
Buddrine, Pa, John Vogrich, trus-
tee of La Sale, Ill. and John Ansec
trustee of Cleveland, Ohio.
A banquet was rendered the
visiting guests at the Odd Fellows
hall Saturday evening at which a
good time was had. Several ad-
dresses were made by those pre-
sent. The banquet was given by
local members of the order COM
prising three societies of the union.
The nucleus of the South Sla-
vonic Catholic Union sprung from
two societies organized in this city
in 1898. These were the St. Cyril
& Method and Sacred Heart societ-
les which. combined at that time
had membership of nearly 400.
In 1900 the South Slavonic Catho-
lie Union was incorporated under
the laws of Minnesta as an insur-
ance and sick benefit order. The
society has members in almost
every state in the Union and the
membership now comprises in the
neighborhood of IL, 900.
At the last convention of the or
der held at Pittsburgh, Pa, COM
plete change of the accounting sys-
rem of the order was ordered and
Secretary Brozich has had his
hands full in making the changes.
Mr.. Brozich has been secretary of
the institution for the past II years
and Mr.. Gouze has been treasurer
for the past Is years. The society
maintains commodious office rooms
in the rear of the First State Bank
building and Mr.. Brozich is assist
ed in the duties of secretary by
John B. Smrekar and Leonard
Slabodnik.

COMMITTED the Sentence

The state board of pardons Mon
day COMMITTED the life sentence
of William Verrill and Joseph
Soular to IS years. The two men
were 16 years of age at the time of
their sentence and have served 1S
years. They were convicted of
numbering an aged woodchopper
named De Mars at Biwabik eighteen
years ago and which event will be
remembered by many of the older
settlers on the ranges. 1t is said
that the mother of the Verrill boy
has persistently prayed for clemen-
cy for her son since and feels that
her prayers were answered in part
by the actions of the board on Mon

Looks for Less Output

Dwight E. Woodbridge, we'll

that the shipments for 1914 will
be less than those for 1918, and
that the price will be less. He
states that while much ore for the
1918 season was contracted before
the close of navigation the previous
season, there is little if any ore
contracted for 1914. And further

Pay Your Taxes

The First National Bank has re-
ceived the tax books for this year
and is now prepared to receive the
payment of the 1913 real estate
taxes. The sending of the books
to this city is of considerable con-
venience to the tax payer. The
taxes can be paid in two install
ments one half on or before the
last day of May and one half on or
before the last day of October. If
one half is not paid on before the
last day of May, penalty of ten
per cent will be added to the whole

WELL PLEASED
Stockholders Express Themselves
Free|y ON Work Done

:'Skilling's News Letter has the
following to say of the Yer million
Mesaba Mining company in the
last issue of the excellent journal:
THE annual meeting of this cor
poration was held in Duluth last
Tuesday, and the stockholders
were much pleased with the devel-
opments at their property, the
Lucky Boy-Anderson, on the Yer
million range, during the year 1913.
A good many of the stockholders
took occasion to visit the property
after the meeting. The company
has not only succeeded in locating
an iron mine, but the cost of de-
velopment has been nominal, COM
pared to the average cost of prov
ing up mine on the Vermilion.
The expenditures for 1913 amount
ed to $34,719.o9, and during that
period the ore body was located and
explored at the 140 and the 21O
levels.
The work of sinking the 800
level is now in progress, and the
shaft is down 200 feet. 1t is going
down in the footwall, and there
are numerous indications of the
near proximity of iron ore. Presi-
dent E. G. Kennedy in his annua |
report stated khat the property no
doubt will be ready to inaugurate
shipments at the opening of navi-
CATION. The Duluth & Iron Range
road has located spur track for
the mine, with reference to the
stockpile already begun.
1t was resolved at the meeting
to release certain omount of the
treasury stock for subscription.
Present stockholders have first
chance to purchase the new stock.
The proceeds of the sale will be
applied to development, and it is
proposed to put the mine in shape
to meet all reasonable demands for
tonnage as speedily as possible.

son is identical with that of the

SAYS MADMAN
SET Off BOMB
IN CATHEDRAL
Mgr. LaveIIe Blames Lunatic
for Outrage-Explosion at
Rectory Probed.

NEW YORK, Oct. 14.-From bits of
iron picked up in both st. Patricks
Cathedral and in the yard of the st.
Alphonsus rectory, in West Broad
way, the police believe that the bombs
exploded yesterday afternoon and
early today at the two edifices We're
the work of the same person or per-
sons.
That the bomb in the cathedral was
placed there by a demented person
was the opinion expressed by Mon
signor Layelle, who left the scene of
the explosion few minutes before it
occurred. The explosion stunned a
boy, kneeling in prayer thirty feet
away, tore a hole in the floor several
feet wide, splintered nearby pew
doors and Clipped the marble ceiling
The bomb In the areaway at St. AL
phonsus Church, which exploded seven
hours after the one at the cathedral,
| slightly injured a priest. 1t is be-
lieved to have contained a higher
charge of explosive, from the fact
| that windows in the rectory and In
nearby buildings were shattered or
| loosened, so that they fell from their
frames. The shock of the explosion
was felt for several blocks. At both
the cathedral and the rectory the
| downward force of the explosions
added weight to the opinion of the po-
lice that both bombs contained dyna-
mite.
The explosion at the cathedral will
not cause any cessation in the usual
services. An hour after it occurred
the doors of the edifice were open.
Between the explosion of the two
bombs, q man who said he was Olaf
Olsen stationed himself at the en-
trance of Holy Trinity Church, in
West Eighty-second street, and be-
gan to deliver an anti-cerical speech
and to shout Objectionable remarks at
persons entering and coming out Of
the church.
In common with several other
churches last spring, st. Alphonsuss
on March was visited by an army of
unemployed under the leadership of
Frank Tannenbaum. The men forced
their way into the church and almost
all of them were arrested. Tannen-
baum was found guilty of participat-
ing in an unlawful assemblage and
sentenced to serve year in the
Blackwell Island penitentiary, and to
pay a fine of $500, He has served a
little more than half of his term.

MOTHER TEACHER
REMAINS AT POST
Wifo of Jersey Chemist Will Not
Quit Until Physician Or
ders 1t.

NEW. YORK, Oct. H.-Still defying
the Board of Education, which ex-
poets her to resign from the Totem
vile High School, Mrs. Charles S.
Wagner, the young teacher who ex-
poets to become a mother, yesterday
continued her classes in German.
Her pupils, she declared, when seen
at her home, l Aspinwall street, Tot
tenville, treated her with the great
est courtesy and consideration, and
not one remarked about her academic
gown which she wore over her
school dress.
The young teacher, who instructs
mixed classes, carried her black robe
to school in big box, and brought
it home with her in the same way
in the carriage which she uses to
and from the school. The school is
part of the Curtis High School of
st. George, whose principal is D. D..
Feldman. DIR. Darwin Berdwell is
the district superintendent of the
Tottenville annex.
Mrs. Wagner, who was Miss Lorna
M. Clark of Richmondville, N. Y,
is the wife of a young chemist en-
ployed by the Roessler e. Hasslacher
Chemical Company. of Perth Amboy,
N. J. Her husband came from Han
over, Germany, two years ago. He
is thoroughly in sympathy with his
wife's fight for the right of profess
sional women to bear children.
PERSONALLY / do not care whether
I teach again or not after my baby
is born," Mrs. Wagner said yester-
day. "But | want to fight this bat
tie to the end for the principle in
volved. / want to win for the sake
of other teachers who may become
mothers"
In appearance the expectant mother
is slight and of medium height. She
has brown hair and mild blue eyes.
Her largest class numbers forty
three pupils, and her first duty each
school morning Is the registration of
thirty-eight girls. There are 120
pupils in the annex.
Unless the board of superinten-
dents insists upon relieving her the
young teacher-mother will go to the
school every day until she has been
pronounced by her physician, DR..
John B. Shull, of Perth Amboy,
physically incapable of teaching.
Then she will ask for a twenty days
leave of absence, to which all teach
ers are entitled when they are i'll.
And at the expiration of that period
she will ask for a continuance of the
leave.
DR.. Shull is the son of the superin-
tendent of schools in Perth Amboy,
and he declares that, according to
New Jersey State laws, Mrs. Wag-
ner's case would be quite simple.
She would only have to send word to
the board that she wanted to leave
school on a certain day and her re-
quest would be granted without the
least objection.
