SOUTHWEST IOWA TEACHERS
Tiro Hundred Attend Onculiifr Session
and Hear Rdiicntlnnnl Topics
IllNcnsscil.
The registration lists last evening r.howed
that upward of 200 tcachors had arrived In
Council Bluffs to attend the annual meet
lng of tho Southwestern Iowa Teachers' as
sedation, the opening session of, which was
held last night.
Every train during the day1 brought In Its
contingent and by evening tho hotels were
crowded. Tho headquarters of the essocla
tloli are at tho Grand hotel, wlere tho
teachers register on arrival. The early ar
rival of eo many teachers Is said to Indl?
cate a larger attendance than usual, and
one ot the best attended meetings of the as
soclatlon 1c looked for. Up to last evening
the commltten on entertainment had so
cured rooms for over 400 visiting teachers
and It Is expected that at least 100 will be
entertained by friends during their stay In
tho city. Of tho city school teachers 135
registered yesterday In addition to tho ar
rivals from out of town.
Among the notable arrivals yesterday
were: President Georgo E. MacLcan, Iowa
State university: President Homer H. Seer
ley, Stato Normal school nt Cedar Falls;
Superintendent B. J. Miles, Iowa Industrial
school; Superintendent S. H. Shcakley, Des
Molnts; President William H. Beardshear,
Iowa Agricultural college, Ames; Hon. it.
C. Barrett, Des Moines, stato superintend
ent of Instruction; President W. A. Clark,
State Normal school, Peru, Neb.
Tho teachers who arrived during tho
lornlng passed tho afternoon visiting tho
ihools. The general sessions are held In
lie auditorium of tho now High school.
Superintendent Itothert of tho Iowa School
for tho Deaf has extended an Invitation to
tho tctchers to visit that Institution beforo
leaving the city.
Tho opening session last night attracted
an audience that filled the auditorium. Ad-
drosses wcro made by President Secrlcy of
the Stato Normal school ana rrcsiaeni
MacLcan of tho Stato university.
President Secrloy's subject was "Tho
Medicine Man In Education." Ho said:
Tho state of tho public mind compels the
public schools to bo oxpcrlment stations In
which everything Is tried that Is suggested.
Theories and patent projects are accepted
with remnrkable nlacrlty and aro tested at
the expense of tho children, even when in
congruous and unnatural.
Among other things given specially exau
gerated Importance aro what aro called
methods of teaching, devices for conduct
ing tho work. Methods aro good enough as
fHr as they go. but they do not go far by
themselves. They aro not the thing that
makes tho efficient teacher.
Schools aro more than places to practice
devices of teaching. Their clllclency noes
further than tho formalities. Tho great
ness of the work depends upon vital con
siderations that aro considered with tho
nrhr nml thn nunlls and these should bo
given greater emphasis and Importance,
So It Is with tho courses of study. They
,havo h necessary place, nut uiey Bre not
tne essential inai me meuiciiw man nuum
have uh think. , , ,
The teacher makes the school. There Is
no oscapo from needing a good teacher In
tho school If the work Is to bo a reality.
Tho good teacher makes tho reality. The
great crime against youth perpetuated by
our educational systems Is the endeavor to
get along without tho vital factor found In
tho human element.
President MacLean ot the Stato university
spoke on "American Schools and Anarchy."
Ho said:
Lawlessness Is tolerated by the slate. In
Is therefore natural that tho school lacking
tho imn of authority finds It dlfllcult to
maintain discipline, Patrons secure favors
I for petted children both In public and pri
vate schools. Each school lias for Its endn
the plea that the local community linn
I ii n lq no demands. In Iowa ono of the most
(limcuit prnmems is inu uniiicaiian oi inu
school system. This Is the outgrowth of
the fundamental American philosophy nf
extreme Individualism. Kvrryono for him
self has been not only tho law of competi
tion, but the law of American life,
Democracy has tended to become mob
ocracy. Authority lias been at a discount
In the United States. ....
Tho aim of all public educational Institu
tions should he to prepare for public serv
ice and good pltlzeiiHhlp, The time has
n . , 1 1 . n (ha lanrthlnir tt fit. 11 inui, -,
1 ment In our schools must be something
moro than a rorm or inculcation or the
boundary lines and styles of organizations.
We must without venom ciiually tench
from a historic point of view the compara
tive standards of anarchy and whnt It lias
dono and tries to do.
During the evening the audience was en
tertained by songs by Miss Caldwell of this

Trick Connty to Get Cash.
Joe Blake, George Williams and Tom
Fleming, three prisoners who were released
from tho county Jail yesterday morning
after serving a scutence for stealing four
sacks of barley from a Northwestern freight
car, devised an Ingenious plan for replen
ishing their exchequers.
Tho three men, who belong to the vast
army ot hoboes, wcro without shirts when
tho time came for them to go out Into tho
world again and they demanded that Jailer
Martin furnish them the necessary clothing
beforo he turned them out. Martin sent
them to tho county auditor.
Tho three filed Into Auditor Innes' office
and demanded that he provide them with a
shirt cplccc. "I'm not running a dry goods
store," replied Mr. Innes, "and as far as I
know the county Is under no obligation lo
clotlio Its prisoners when they aro re
leased." The spokesman for the trio told the
county auditor they had been sent to him
by tho Jailer. Mr. Innes told thom that If
the Jailer wanted any supplies ho should
apply for them In person. In tho end, at
tho request of Jailer Martin, an order on a
local dry goods store was given for tho
shirts and tho men secured the garments.
Instead, however, of wearing them thoy
hnstened to the nearest pawnshop and sold
them for 30 rents apiece.

able talk all over southern Iowa and U
entitled Stato of Iowa by E. M. Probasco,
County Attorney, vs. G. E. Cllmmle, Sheriff.
Tho state's attorney filed a petition charg
ing that tho sheriff was guilty of corrup
tion In office nnd accusing him of trying to
unduly Influence certain Jurors whllo en
gaged nt the September term of court dur
ing tho time they wero considering tho
nuillng of an Indictment against him. It
Is charged that ho approached two or threo
members of tho grand Jury and tried to
'persuade them not to return an Indictment
against him; that he tried to llnd out what
evidence was being Introduced against him;
that ho claimed two of tho grand Jury were
fixed and had come to fix htm. It also
charged him with willful misconduct In
office and stated that whllo bo had chares
of the grand Jury as sheriff after It hid
returned Indictments against him, that ha
cursed them, abused them and traduced
certnln members of the'grand Jury on nc-
count of Its official acts. Tho petition
asked that he be suspended during time of

Jurors might be embarrassed by reason of

Persecutors,
(From a. Staff Correspondent.)
DES MOINES, Oct. 31. (Special.) A re
marknblo story is told hero by J. C. Faust,
formorly a farmer of Marshall county,
which. If fully substantiated, would Indlcato
that ho has been tho vlcltm of a terrible
consplracy.-whlch Included sending him to
tho, penitentiary on falro charges and sub
sequent kidnaping and Incarceration In an
Inrano hospital.
Faust lived on n big farm In Marshall
county a few years ago. In 1897 his house,
barn and nil his property wcro burned, the
fire catching about 5 o'clock In the morn
ing. His wlfo wns visiting at the time
with relatives In Cedar county and Faust
had been In Des Moines tho doy beforo and
until late In tho evening and alleges that
ho remained hero over night. Desplto
strong proofs that ho actually wan In Dei
Moines nt tho tlmo of tho fire, Faust wa
arrested, Indicted, tried, convicted of arson
and sentenced to tho penitentiary for throe
years. At the time Faust was sent to thn
penitentiary ho had some suits pcndlnr,
against tho Northwestern Railroad com
pany for damages, ono ou account of house
hold goods burned In a car and the other
for damages for Injuries by being thrown
off a train. After ho was sent to the penl
tcntlory tho suits went against him by de
fault.
.Supposed lo Iluve Killed Himself,
Faust was .released Juno 4 of last year
from the penitentiary nt Fort Madison.
Nothing was heard of hlui for somo tlmo
and his wlfo had continued to llvo with
hor parents at Clarence, In Cedar county,
nnd supposed that aftor Faust's release ho
had either killed himself or been killed
accidentally. Tho next heard of tho caso
was a year ngo, when n tramp gavo a
scaled letter to Postmaster Munger of
Waterloo and then disappeared. Tho letter
stated that the writer, C. F. Rawlins, had
octually set lire to the Faust property,
gavo tho proper dato and many dotalls
known to bo rorrcct, stated that Rawlins
and a farmhand named Johnson had taken
tho horses and $373 In money belonging to
Faust; that Rawlins had ridden his how
Into Illinois and sold It, stating that tho
testimony against Faust on which ho was
convicted wns faUo and the result of' a
conspiracy to got Faust out ot the way and
the writer offered to go on the stand and
make a full confession, if guaranteed im
munity. There was much mystery about tho letter
and no explanation. Tho letter also stated
that Faust was then in confinement In Chi
cago. Today Faust arrived In Des Moines
to consult a lawyer, and he tells a strange
tale of his experiences, Ho relates that
when be was released from the penitentiary
he was notified that ho was wanted for per
jury; that ho was seized by three strangers,
who took him over Into Illinois In a buggy;
that ho was placed on tho cars and taken to
Chicago and confined In Jail several weeks;
that later ho was sent Into Indiana, then
to Tiffin, 0 handcuffed and cloooly guarded,
and finally was consigned to the Ohio State
kAsylura for the Insane at Toledo, and was
kept among the Incurablo Insane. He broko
away twlee and was recaptured, but about
a month ago got looso again and wandered
back to Iowa,

the Insane hospital at Toledo has been con

Ho appears lo be perfectly sane and con

a full Investigation to bo mado of the case.
Faust stood well In Marshall county and 'n
Cedar county, was a prosperous farmer, had
a beautiful young wife and Is n man of edu

many facta to confirm It and to substantiate
the confession of the mysterious tramp at
Waterloo, that Faust's statements are gen
erally believed by those who know him
here.

NEW YORK, Oct. 31. Among the pas
rengers who will sail today on the
Deutschland for Hamburg Is Count Otto
von Moltkc, n nephew of the great Ger
man field marshal, Count von Moltko has
been In this country since October 4, hav
ing been appointed a commissioner by thu
Prussian Parliament, of which he Is a
member, to study American transportation
methods. In an Interview he said: "It
Is a matter of disappointment that I am
obliged on account of the Lun trouble to re
turn to Germany so soon. I have visited
tho Pnn-Amerlcan exposition nnd Chicago,
at tho latter plaro to make n hurried study
ot tho stock yards. I also gained much In
formation at the American railway exhibi
tion nt Mndlson Square garden. I am
electrified with tho progress you Ameri
cana havo mado In tho methods of trans
portation. It Is Impossible for anyono In
Europe to understand this without teeing
It. Tho best expression I have beard here
Is 'Up to date,' which tells the wholo
story. You havo shown tbo moat progress
In adapting electricity us a means of
transportation. The German Slcmenses are
the fathers ot electrical Improvements and
tho Germans concelvn many methods, but
thoy cannot toko hold of things the way
the Americans do.. Conservative methodi
keep tho Germans from launching out ex
tensively In any scheme. Europeans are
theoretical and Americans are practical.
The Europeans formulato and you put Into
practice"
