tree-year old child of Mr.. and Mrs
Chas. Braa, came to his death by &C
cidental causes and that w. NJ Somero

affairs where child, unnoticed by the
driver, ran into the street and was
struck and killed. Somero told the
jury and was substantiated by those
with him in the car, that while cross
ing an intersection in Virginia on
Wednesday afternoon, he felt the
machine go over bump. He stopped
the car and upon looking back saw
the child lying in the street.
Axel Dahl, Virginia detective, in
vestigated and listened to testimony
He also took measurements of the spot
and said that if the child had been
standing on the south side of a tele-
phone pole near the spot, it would have
been impossible for the driver to have
seen it. The lady of the house next
door reported that she heard the sound
OF the impact and that children fire.
quently played in the street near there
She also told of the telephone pole
above mentioned behind which children
hid during their play.
The unfortunate occurrence has cast
a gloom over Mr.. Somero who with his
mother, Mrs. Michael Somero, and
sister, Miss Vienna, Miss Irene Lamp
and Miss Toini Suoja, were in the car
when the unfortunate accident took
place. The bereaved parents have the
sympathy of large number OF
friends.

SCHOOL MELON
$3.50 PER PUPIL
Fund of $2,259,15O to be
Divided Among Districts
of the State.

A melon of $2,259, l5O50, representing
the October current school fund, viii
be split among the school districts Of
the state on the basis of $3.50 for each
eligible pupil, j. M. Mcconnell, state
commissioner of education, announced
The apportionment is based or
1858 public school pupils eligible tx
come in under the distribution. The
total enrolment in the public schools
of the state, based on reports as oil
July 81, last, was 558,146 pupils but
32,778 pupils were either under OF
over 81 or had not attended school fol-
"a length of 40 days during the year
therefore not being eligible to be
counted for apportionment purposes.
The public school enrolment for the
last school year represented an in
crease of 3,239 over the previous year
while the number of pupils counted for
apportionment increased by nearly
1000 which indicated a marked i'm
provement in school attendance, Com
missioner Mcconnell stated
The rate for the October apportion-
ment year ago was $3.50 per pupil
The decrease this fall is due to less
funds available and to an increase in
the number of pupils entitled to be ac-
counted in the apportionment, he
stated.
The apportionment has been certi-
fled to State Auditor Stafford King
who will send out warrants to the
school districts
The apportionment is the 69th Oc-
tober distribution of the current school
fund. The first one was in 1864 when
the rate per pupil was SO cents, ac-
cording to Christopher Lindahl, &C
countant under Commissioner Nc Con-
nell. The school apportonment is made
twice during the year, in the fall and
IN the spring. The distribution last
spring was on the basis of So per pupil
and indications are that it will be about
the same next spring, Mr.. Mcconnell
stated.

Lost Dog Captured
By SOuddn Youth

When VIM. j. Lockhart and family
left here in August for their home in
Des Moines, Iowa, after spending the
summer at their cabin on BURNSIDE
Lake, red pedigreed chow dog escaped
from a crate attached to the car near
Nice omber.
A lost ad in the Miner and other
papers in which a reward of $40 was
offered spurred on hunt for the dog
and although frequently seen, he had
become too wild to capture. Tony
zvadnik of Soudan had scheme for
the capture and it worked. Tony used
his own dog, fighter of no mean
ability, to aid in the work of securing
the chow. The two dogs flew at each
other and in the melee that ensued,
the chow was captured with rope.
Mr.. Lockhart upon being notified
that his dog had been caught, drove
from Iowa and paid the reward of $40
besides giving zavodnik SIS for good
measure.

ELY HIGH WINS
| AT VIRGINIA
Take Last Saturdays Football
Game Nicely from Virginia
by z to 2 Score.

The Daily Enterprise sports writer
had the following to say of Saturdays
game at Virginia between the Ely High
and the local football warriors:
"A vicious offensive that would not
be denied gave the Ely high school
football team to 2 victory over the
Virginia high school eleven at wind
swept Athletic park Saturday afternoon
"Judiciously mixing their attack to
include smashing line plunges and
sweeping end runs and an occasional
forward pass, and combining it with
a smooth working defense, the Ver-
million rangers earned the triumph as
Virginia faltered under the heavy
pounding.
1T was a forward pass, from Por-
than to Buraglio, that brought Ely its
touchdown midway in the third period
A series of line smasheS and wide end
runs had advanced the ball to Vir-
ginia's 20-yard line, and on the next
formation Porthan tossed the oval to
Buraglio behind the goal for the first
points of the game. Porthan skirted
right end for the extra point.
EARLY in the fourth quarter Virginia
opened its bag of tricks in an effort
to score, and with Nocerine carrying
the ball most of the time, the play
steadily moved down the field to the
10-yard stripe and from there to within
one-yard of the goal.
With a touchdown within their
grasp, the Queen City stalwarts lined
up for the next play, only to have
Nocerine tumble on an attempted line
buck, with Ely recovering the ball. On
this play Grahek, Ely guard, was in
jured and had to be removed from the
game.
1.-The visitors elected to rush the ball
rather than punt out of danger, but
the carrier was downed behind the goal
line to give Virginia safety and two
points.
During the remainder of the period
Virginia unleaShed a furious aerial at
tack in an effort to score, but was able
to complete but one of seven attempted
passes.
Twice in the first period Virginia
moved into scoring territory, on one
occasion to the 4-yard stripe, only to
be held for downs as the visitors tight
ened their defense.
ELY in the second canto brought the
ball down to Virginia's yard line, but
the locals stiffened and won possession
of the oval on downs
After playing on better than even
terms during the first period, Virginia
weakened in the second stanza under
Ely's driving attack, which included
sweeping end runs by Porthan and Ire
IONA and line plunges by Golobich and
Riikola, and efforts to check them were
sporadic.
"a stiff breeze swept the field, making
punting and passing against it very
difficult and very hard to judge the
ball. The lineups was as follows:

Shoot Only Partridges
Female Phedsants Barred.

With the opening of the partridge
season at noon tomorrow, October Is,
hunters are warned by local game war
dens to be careful that they do not
shoot female pheasants by mistake for
partridge or grouse. This can easily be
done if hunters are not careful, the
wardens say. Shooting of pheasants is
forbidden in st. Louis county and be-
cause of the fact that the birds are
just getting start here they should
be given every possible protection.
Ignorance in falling to distinguish the
difference between the pheasants and
cartridges will not be accepted as an
excuse, the wardens say.

On This
Occasion
Just few thoughts by the Editor
on things Material and Immaterial

In all the Democratic ad-
dresses being delivered by
spellbinders, not word is
being uttered on the virtue of
the program of the party or
the strength of its leadership
for its victory but upon the
continuation of hard times.
All the talks made are on the
basis of the opinion that econ
omic conditions will not materi-
ally improve before November
and that the election of a
Democratic president, senate
and house of representatives is
looked forward to.
Some of you will remember
1873. Many will remember
1893 and many more will re-
member 1913. Every 20 years
such things happen and the
queerest part of the story is
that they have always hap
pened under a Democratic adj
ministration. In view of the
past history, is it reasonable to
assume that it will be entirely
changed about under present
conditions. The Democrats
have had congress during all
the time of the present de-
preston. To their credit it
must be said that they stood
behind President Hoover in all
the meritorious measures pro-
posed by the president who is
accredited with having pro-
posed every worthwhile meas
ure used during the past two
years to combat the economic
situation.
All of a sudden these same
party leaders discover that
these measures were not what
was needed although they ac-
complished wonders and what
they want now is an oppor-
tunity to again begin tariff
tinkering, hold industry back
an indefinite period and put
some of the faithful on easy
street and up to the pie
counter. In all their campaign
talks throughout the land,
every economic i'll both here
and abroad is being charged to
Hoover. 1t is a wonder the
Democratic congress did not
remedy these ills during the
past two years. They had
abundant opportunity and had
a farseeing president to help
them.
