Children Shun Suhonl.
The failure of the Hoard ot Education to
take any steps to disinfect the North
Eighth street school, of which Miss Wil-
llana White, ono of the Van Horn house
hold under quarantine for smallpox In tbo
Merrlam block, Is principal, was criticized
yesterday by many of tho parents whose
children attend that school. When school
opened roll call showed that eighty-three
pupils were absent, and in one room there
was barely a corporal's guard.
One fnther sent his two children to school
with a note addressed to their teacher, in
which he wrote: "I send my two children
to school, but It they should catch small
pox I will hold tho members ot the school
board criminally responsible."
Mnyar Jennings and other city officials
woro of the opinion that It would have
been wiser on the part of tho board to
eloso the school for tho rest ot the week
and thoroughly fumigate the building.
The trustees yostorday ordered tho pub
lic library, lu the Merrlam block, closed
until Monday morning. In the meantime it
will be thoroughly fumigated and disin
fected. Asa D. Van Horn was removed from his
apartments In the Merrlam block yesterday
morning to tho city pesthouse. Van Horn
makes the fifth smallpox patlenC now thore.
Tbo others are Joe Ferguson, John Rein
holdt and E. W. Williams, all from the
Atlantic house, and Attorney Herman
Schurz.

cian were unable to secure a house, yester
day to which Van Horn household could
bo removed. They engaged a Iioubo on

remove the family thero when the tenaut
ot an adjoining house objected nnd threat
ened nn Injunction from tho courts. They
will go house hunting again this morning.
All day yesterday tho work of fumigat
ing and disinfecting tho Merrlam block
was carried on under tho supervision ot an
experienced man. None of the tenants have
left tho building.

counter. Two members of tho Council Illuffs High
school resorted to the pugilistic method In
rcnl earnest Tuesday afternoon to scttlo a
little dlfllcuty that had arisen between them
during tho day. . A four-r,ound contest
with gloves between Kobert Mitchell nnd
Earl Warner, with nil thd accessories of
referee, seconds, bottle-holders and nn en
thusiastic audience, was the result.
It Is said that some words had passed
between the boys during tho day, but that
Warner declined to fight on the school
grounds. It was agreed that the matter
should be. settled after school nnd tho Owl
club, rooms lu tho Hrown building, on Pearl
street, In tho Illuffs, wns mado tho ren

largo membership, but It' Is asserted that
tho ofTlcors of tho club knew nothing ot
tho mill until It wns all over.
Tho arrangements for tho nffalre d'honor
were made as quietly as possible, but n
selected company of the friends of both
pnrtles gathered for tho fray. Some dis
cussion uroso over tho details ot the light,
but it la stated that gloves were used.
Clover work was exhibited by both men
during tho four rounds. Tho victory Is
claimed by Warner, ns his friends assert
that Mitchell was knocked entirely out in
tho fourth round by n blow In the stomach
lecclvcd from Warner's head. The two
contestants rushed together at this point,
Warner ducked nnd his head collided with
Mltchcll'H body, landing Llm on tho floor.
After tho fight Mitchell, who Is said to
havo fared tho worst, had a dark-colored
spot under one eye, hut to all appearancis
was otherwlso uninjured. When questioned
Superintendent Clifford of tho ' Illuffs
schools said that ho had taken no action
in tho matter, as ho considered it outsldu
ot school Jurisdiction, though he said he
would Investigate.

Tho Fifty-first and Fifty-second regiments

and tho other two companies will go to tho

vacancy In tho Flfty-flrst regiment to tho
town ot Stuart, since the falluro ot tho
Atlantic people to form a company. To
yield to insubordination in the matter ot
forming a company would be as bad as to
give up to mutiny after the company Is
formed and tho ndjutant general will Invito
Stuart to tuko tho place which was offered
to Atlantic. General Myers goes to Wash
ington tomorrow nnd while there will make
arrangements for equipping tho Iowa guardn
with tho Krag-Jorgcnscn rifles and full

In any way change tho status, but that
