mill U Killed.
Mrs. Lou Dakor, wlfo of James Dakor,
n barber living nt 103 West Broadwny,
was Instantly killed yestorduy morning" by
falling down tho stnlrwny lending from her
rooms. Her neck wns broken by the fall.
Tho only witnesses to tho accident wcro
tho two llttlo children of tho woman, The
oldest is but 5 years of age. The cries of
tho children attracted tho attention of tho
neighbors, who hnstcned to the house. Mrs.
Baker was found lying nt tho bottom of
tho stalrwny. Her neck was broken. Lying
hesldo tho woman wns her youngest child,
n baby, which sho hnd In her arms nt the
time sho fell. The llttlo one was uninjured
except for a few slight bruises.
Remarks made by tho eldest child at first
caused tho nolghbors to believe that Mrs.
Baker hnd thrown herself down the stairway
with tho Intent of ending her life. 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. Tbo little girl on being
questioned then said her mother had taken
two small pills, No box containing pills
could be found, but on a shelf there was a
can of lye, which did not appear to have
been recently disturbed. A search for the
lotters was made, but none wero found.
Coroner Treynor decided that an Inquest
was unnecessary, as It was evldont that
death was tho result of an accident.
Mm. Milton Daugherty of 520 Kast Broad
way, mother of Mrs. Bnkor, scouted tho
Idea of her daughter taking her own life,
although nhe admitted her life had not
been of the happiest for some time. Neigh
bors say Mrs. Baker frequently spoke of
tho unhappy llfo Bho led, laying tho blamo
on her husband, who, she said, drank to ex
cefh. When the hunband was called to the house
nnd notified of the death of hln wlfo. he
said: "Well, I can't see that I can help
It." turned ou his heel and made for the
nearest naloou, where he proceeded to drown
his troubles In tho flowing bowl and was
soon oblivious to IiIh surroundings.

itlth the I licit Siicei'Ksliin.
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.

IMPORTANT ISSUE RAISED

NEWTON, la.. Aug. 3. (Special Tele

saloon league have btcn quietly (securing
evidence ugalnst local violators of tho liquor
laws, and as a result of their work have
commenced milts against a number of drug
gists, restaurant keepers und others In New
ton and adjucent towns. Among tho nulls
commenced was one against tho Adams Ex
press company, charging It with violating
tho prohibitory law by bringing liquor Into
the state, cash on delivery.
Tho league made the claim that a sale of
liquor made- on an order from Iowa, filled by
a nonresident dealer, and completed by de
livering to tho Iowa customer nt a point In
tho stato, cash on delivery, Is a sale within
th! state nnd falls under our criminal laws.
Tho compnny contended that such a trans
action Is n foreign sale, and not within the
Jurisdiction of tho Iown law nnd fully pro
tected by the interstate commerce clause of
tho constitution.
Tho caso agalnnt the express company

KOUT DODOK, la., Aug. 3. (Special Tel
egram.) A well-formed plan to burn all
the barns In Fort Dodgo seems to be In
progresfl of execution here. The work of
Incendiaries la being well done and the
town la greatly excited. Right barns have
been fired within the last twenty-four hours.
All of them have been tho property of prom
inent people, that of Congressman J. I.
Dolllvar being the first tq bo fired. The
other fires that have been occurring In rapid
succession during the day nro those of Hon
S. T. Mescrvey, Oeorgo Fousell, W. L.
Sperry, K. E. Prusla, J. M. Schnupp, Al
Flint and Oeorgo Hoppor. All of those barns
are located In tho center and niont populous
part of the city. The theory Is that the
work Is being dono by tramps who nro tak
ing this method of getting revenge for
municipal discipline. The citizens arc
greatly excited and It is feared thut more
fires will occur tonight. A large force of
police In citizens' clothcn have been sworn
In nnd will patrol tho town this evening and
tomorrow. Considerable proporty has been
