NOTED ARTIST
GUEST HERE AT
BAND CONCERT
Catherine Van Buren,, Lyric
Soprano, Concert Feature,
Tomorrow Evening.

| Catherine Van Buren,, a noted lyric
soprano, will be the guest artist for the
first of the poplar indoor concerts given
by the Ely Municipal band at the
Washington auditorium on Friday even
| ing at BIS o'clock.
Miss Van Buren, is recognized as the
| foremost lyric soprano of a race noted
| for its musical endowment and is one
of the great sopranos of our time. She
comes here under the exclusive manage
ment of Harry Culbertson, Inc, who
has furnished the majority of hits seen
here in recent years and which have
captured Ely audiences.
She comes here on Friday evening
and her appearance is made possible
owing to the fact that she appears in
Virginia during the afternoon for the
concert arranged by the school board,
and the management has consented to
her appearance in Ely that evening
Director DiNino of the Ely Municipal
band informs us that her appearance is
made possible by this fact as otherwise
the cost would be prohibitory.
The singer is gifted with the finest
musical voice to be trained in the Fisk
University choir whose men are repre-
sented by the great tenor, Roland
Hayes, and in which choir she was the
Soloist during her four years at the
university. She has sung in concerts
in Symphony Hall, Boston; Carnegie
Hall in New York, and in many of the
noted musical centerS in the country.
She has also been instructor of the
musical departments of Shaw Univer-
sity and Talladega College.
At recital in the home of Mr.. Hayes
in Massachusetts,, and at additions in
Steinway Hall, New York, the listeners
with unanimity expressed admiration
for voice of the rarest natural lovli-
ness, wisely Safe-guarded and directed
in childhood, superbly trained in it's
mature development and used with con-
vincing genuineneSS of Deep imperative
insight. Her voice is of such beauty
as seldom appears more than once dur
ing a generation in a race or nation.
She will sing two groups of master
pieces. The band will play six numbers
selected by Prof. DiNino to please and
in keeping with the excellence of the

Judge Fauors Council
in Mining Co. Action
to Curb City Spending
Grants Greater Leeway in
Spending Than Asked
by Plaintiffs.
CHARTER SETS DEBT
Court Limits the City to
$134, 220.19 for Last Four
Months of Year.

Judge c. r. Magney of the District
Court announced Thursday that he had
issued an order restraining the City of
Ely from expending in excess of
$134,220.19 during the months of Sept
ember, October, November and Deem
ber
Greater leeway was granted the city
than was requested by the Oliver Iron
Mining company and the Vermillion
Mining company, which companies had
entered suit against the city officials in
which it was commended that the city
could spend only $40,974.15 during the
four month period.
The case was submitted on briefs to
Judge Magney during the term of court
which closed its sessions here the last
week of October. The briefs had been
prepared by Gillette, Nye, Harries q
Montague and John M. Cannon for the
plaintiffs and Thomas j. Carey, city
attorney for Ely and its officers, de-
PENDANTS.
Judge Magney withheld his decision
pending thorough study of the case
and the laws governing such matters.
At the close of court here he remained
for two days cloSeted in the Judges
chambers in the city hall in study of
the briefs and upon returning to Du-
luth continued his research into the
matter until Thursday when he rem
dered his decision.
He held in his findings that the city
had the right to issue warrants, then
not pay them for lack of funds and let
them accumulate and draw interest, as
long as the city stayed within its 2
per cent debt limitation. The per
cent limit would give the city the right
to spend $134,22019 during the four
months.
He held that the state law upon which
the mining companies based their suit
had been passed decades before
the adoption of the constitutional
amendment for home rule charters"
such as Ely is operating under.
In closing his memorandum, Judge
Magney said: Whatever one may
think of the policy of operating a city
by overspending the budget and the
tax allowances, and no one will COM
mend it, the legal authority of the city
is not altered
According to contentious, Ely had
spent 1896, 574.25 during the first eight
months of the year, leaving only $40
974l5 of its budget allowance for the
year and it was proposed to limit ex-
penditures to the budget sum. Judge
Magneys decision changed this. The
city spent $27,114 during September
On that basis it would live within the
