Pauper's Craze for
"Son1ebodv's Mother!''
Body of Woman Found in the Lake
May Go to Potter's Field Within
the Next Few Days.

The body of the gray haired woman
found floating in the lake off the mouth
of Pike Creek week ago, will prob
ably be buried in a pauper' s grave at
the potter's field at Green Ridge Gene
terry. Undoubtedly she is some body s
mother, but that somebody has evident
ly forgotten all about her existence
and in the week that the body has
been in the morgue, covered with a
sheet of white, not single person has
called to Identify her. The case is the
strangest on record in the history of
Lake as a solace for broken hearts.
That this woman was at one time a
woman of the better classes that she
was refined and had a part in the life
of some town, is certain. That she
should be entirely neglected and for
gotten in her tragic death is as unusu-
al as it is pathetic.
Every possible effort is being made
to find some clew to the identity of the
woman. kilograms describing the
woman have been sent to many sur
rounding cities with suggestion that
an effort be made to find some one who
knew her, but the police have not re-
ceived a single response to any of
these kilograms and no more is known
about the identity of the woman today
than was known when her body was
taken from the lake week ago.
There appears to be TO doubt but that
the woman came here with the delib-
crate intention of ending her life in
the lake. People have been found who
saw her walking along the lake on the
Tuesday before the body was found but
these people are able to furnish nothing
by which she might be identified.
The police today sent word to the
police officers in Racine, asking that
they make an especial effort to find
something in regard to the woman,
and similar requests were sent to
Wapkegan and Milwaukee.
The police are of the opinion that
the woman may have wandered away
from some institution somewhere in
this district of the country, but let
tiers sent to hospitals for the insane
and to the Old Women s Home in this
section Of the state, remain unanswer-
ed. The body will be held for a few
days more and then it will be taken out
and buried-in the potter's field.

main officers are devoid of senti-
ment and secure their facts from
dead and dry cost sheets. From
these it is learned that expenses
are so much in Ely. The order at
once goes forth to the local man to
retrench and taxes come in for
the first trimming and the result is
that needed improvements are held
up. The court proceedings to hold
up work in many cases amount to
many times the cost of the taxes to
be paid. The main Office is too
far away from the people and the
main officers in place of being
fellow men with the interests of the
human race at heart are just so
many adding machines who devour
and live on figures. This is the
main trouble in the range towns.
The only time anyone sees his boss
is when he comes up in a special
car and looks over the mines
and nothing more. He does not
know that there are people making
cities near these mines which make
it possible for his men to live bet
ter and thus give better service.
We sincerely hope that the mining
companies and the people of the
range towns will harmonic just a
little more in regard to taxation
matters and thus build up a lasting
friendship. That there is friction
IN every town on the ranges is a
toregone conclusion. This can be
remedied easily by having the
main officers of the big corporations
show up and see what is being
done.

MIR. Barnes Visitor at Ely High
School

Mr.. Barnes OF st. Paul visited
the Ely High School Wednesday,
February eighth. He was super
mtendent OF the schools here for
four years. At the close of school
he made speech in which he said,
Every pupil should be in school
on time for it is just as though
you were in business and the desk
were the office. There are two
contractors in st. Paul, one of
whom says to his men Work fast
no matter how you do the work =
The other says DO good work and
do as much as you can Natu-
rally, the last man gets the bust
ness because of the principle by
which he does his work so this
is good policy for pupils to fol-
low" The hearty applause at the
close Of the speech showed that
the pupils of Ely agreed with this
idea. Mr.. Barnes spent Thursday
visiting outlying schools and left
that evening after renewing many
pleasant friendships.
