Tho child said that hor mother, after writing soma letters which she had placed In her trunk, had drank concentrated lyo and then tnken the baby In hor arms and thrown her self down tho stairs. Coroner Troynor was summoned, but examination fulled to dls- closo any traces of lyo In the dead woman's mouth or throat.

Tho task of selecting n successor to 1'iof. H. II. Hayden ns superintendent of tho city schools proved too much for tho Bonrd of Kducntlon last night, oven after n secret cnucus lasting over nn hour had been held nnd falling to rench nn agree ment It wbb llnnlly decided to lay tho mat ter over until next Tuesday night, when tho board will tnke nuothcr whirl nt It. The cnucus wns hold hohlnd locked doors In tho olllee of the superintendent, nnd proved quite n stormy session. At one time tho discussion beenmo so niilmated between Members Stewart nnd Sargent that tho latter left the room and refused to take any further part In tho caucus, Tho discussion nt the outset of tho se cret meeting duvelopcd the fact thut the mnjorlty of the members present wero op posed to putting In Principal Clifford ns superintendent, nnd wero In favor of In creasing his snlnry nnd retntnlng htm In charge of tho High school. This course wns favored by Members Hess, chairman of the touchers' commltteo; Stewart, Swnlno nnd Cooper, while Prcsldont Henry nnd Member Sargent Insisted that It was only fair to Prof. Clifford that, ho bo pro moted to superintendent. Sargont nppenrod to be under tho Impression that a compact to this effect had been renched during tho morning by tho Board, nnd expressed him self as greatly surprised that nny of tho members should go back on this agree ment. Ho questioned Stewart ns to his reasons for changing his mind slnco the morning nnd this led to a passage nt nrms between tho two. Stewart claimed a per fect right to change his mind If he saw fit and accused Snrgent of chnnglng his mind often enough over tho slto question. Sar gent said ho had good reasons for chnnglng his mind on the slto question and explained them, hut questioned Stewart's right to switch on tho superlntondcncy. Somo of tho other members tried to pour oil on tho troubled wnters, but did not succeed, and Sargent finally left the room after re fusing to take nny further pnrt In tho caucus. Members Hess, Swalne, Stewart and Cooper declared themselves In favor of ejecting Prof. A. II. Warner of Missouri Valley superintendent nnd retaining Prof. Clifford as principal. Member Macrao being absent they could havo elected Prof. War ner, their four votes being n majority, but they wcro desirous of having tho ap pointment ns strong ns possible, and if they could hnvo secured ono more voto tho election of Prof. Warner would havo tnken nlaco right thoro. President Henry declared In posltlvo terms Hint ho would not vote for nny ono except Prof. Clifford, nnd snld thnt ho had rensons to believe that If ho wns not np pointed he would in nil probability resign ns prlnclpnl, and they would loso both superintendent nnd prlnclpnl. President Henry also Informed tho other members ns a great secret that ho had heard that Trof. Clifford had said ho could not and would not work under Prof. Wnrner. This brought Stewart to his feet with the reinnrk thnt Prof. Clifford need not be so thin sJUnncd, as they had somo fifty applicants for tho position of principal nnd from probably n number of school men Just as good as ho was. By this time the temperature of the room was getting warm and Member Hess, nnx inna to brine tho discussion to nn end beforo nny hnrd words might be said, suggested thnt they postpono action in tne innucr uu til they had examined tho applications ro- ridvpd. "Why, that would tako three months nt lenst," said President Henry, anu me sug L'estlon went a glimmering. Then Member Cooper spoke on behalf of Prof. Warner and tald that no school mnn In tho stnto of Iowa stood as high as he did. Stewart said he agreed with Cooper, nnd that If tho board elected Warner they would bo proud of their superlntendsnt, as they were of their principal. President Henry thon attempted to throw cold water on Prof. Warner's chances by stating that Warner had told him he would not bo considered an applicant for the posi tion If Clifford was. After some further desultory discussion, nnd It being npparcnt that an unanimous agreement could not be renched, tho "se cret" session wns brought to an end nnd tho members ndjourned tp tho board room, whero they found Sargent awaiting them. Tho proceedings opened with Member Hess leading Prof. Hnydon's formal resig nation, which was received without com ment. Members Stewnrt and Swalno then nsked to ho excused for n few minutes, nnd repaired to tho hallway, where tlioy held a brief consultation. On returning to the room Member Stewart suggested that It was not necessary to tako up "tho matter" now and moved that action bo postponed until Tuesday night. Swalno seconded tho mo tion nnd It carried. Chairman Hess of the teachers' commlt teo reported tho nppllcatlon of Miss Anna K. Williams for leavo of nbsenco for one year to nttend tho State Normal school at Cedar Hnplds, and on his recnmmondntlon tho request was granted.
