back by being .thrown to the ground while
alighting from a motor At the Northwestern

jured It wa the result of stepping Into a
depression In the street, which caused her
to fall, and that the Car was not In motion
(or some time gfter she, had alighted. ...

James Vsll. a farm hand, was dragged
Into Hoagland'a lumber yard on BoUth Main
treet by three men who beat him and
robbed him of $71.-
Vail had been husking corn near Mis
souri Valley and yeaterday afternoon came
to Council Bluffs with three men, two of
whom, William Roffiifeld and the other
known as "Ed," had worked with him,
while the third was a stranger. His com
panions wanted Vail to go to Omaha with
them to take In th Bight, but he declined.
They had a number of drink together and
then parted. Vail wandered about town
and eventually strolled down South Main
street. When opposite the lumber yard the
three men seised him, dragged him into
the yard, beat ' and kicked him until he
wa almost Insenalble,' and robbed him of
hla entire earnings, amounting to $71.
. When he recovered sufficiently Vail

(old the officers that he did not believe It
waa his former companions who had robbed
him, although he was unable to give any

a mail of bruises and cuts. The police are
of the opinion that his companions fol
lowed him until they found a convenient
place to rob him, and that it was with
this Intention that they wanted him to
go to Omaha with them.
'POSTMASTER FIMEOAJI" MISSISQ
Jobs Gnrrlttr Loan Some Meaey to
" '' Stranarer.
It cost John Oarrltty of Jamaica, la., juat
$3 last night to form th acquaintance of
"Mr. James Flnnegan, postmaster at Hor
ton, Kan." Mr. Garrltty waa on his way to
vurit relatives at Chanute, Kan., and was
waiting for his train at the Union Paciflo
transfer depot when accosted by a nice-appearing
gentleman with an accent, or by
some called a brogue, almost Identical to
that of the aged farmer from 'the Iowa,
town. Th stranger was so delighted to
learn that Mr. Garrltty waa on hla way to
Kansas, as he waa bound for there also,
and they wjuld travel together. .
They had some time to wait for the train,
however, and Mr. Flnnegan suggested that
they take a car up town a he wanted to
go to the Grand hotel to get a package
which contained money and which was
waiting for him there. Mr. Oarrltty was
willing, and when they reached the hotel
Mr. Flnnegan - suddenly remembered he
seeded just $63 to get the package.1 Would
Mr. Oarrltty lend It, and he would be back
n a minute, Mr. Oarrltty was willing and
he produced the money. "Walt for me out
side and I will be back In a minute," was
Mr. Flnnegan' parting Injunction to the
farmer as he disappeared through th First
avenue entrance of the hotel.
Mr. Oarrltty waited outside for half an
hour and finally decided to eater the hotel
and look for his newly made friend. He
entered the rotunda and planted himself
against the radiator near the entrance,
where he stood for about fifteen minutes
looking for the affable postmaster from
Horton, Kan. Failing to see the gentle
man, Mr. Oarrltty plucked up courage and
Inquired of Chief Clerk Park If Mr. Flnne
gan waa still there. MrvPark was not ac
quainted with Mr. Flnnegan and so In
formed Mr. Oarrltty.
"Why, the gentleman who was to get a
package of money here," explained Mr.
Oarrltty.
. "Did you lend him some money T" asked
Mr. Park.
"Sixty-three dollar. Sure, lie. seemed
such a nice, honest man and .besides he
was the postmaster of Horton, Kan., and I
supposed he was all right," replied Mr. Gar
rltty. . . . . ,
. "Of course he was all right," ventured
Mr. Park, with a smile, at the same time
suggesting to Mr. Oarrltty that he bad bet
ter hasten to police headquarters and ac
quaint the authorise of the fact that ha
had been buncoed
At the police station Mr. Garrltty took hla
loss philosophically and admitted he had
been played for a aucker. Realizing that
the chance of apprehending- the man Who
had hi money was slim, Mr. Oarrltty pro
ceeded last night on his way to Kansas.

Shenandoah Break World's Record.
8HENANDOAH. la., Dec I.-(Speclal )

the farm work near here for the . paat
month, husked and threw in the wagon
from the stalks In the field 217 bushels and
twenty pounds of corn In exactly ten
hour. He husked the field clean. , This
phenomenal mark was made on the' farm
of J. B. Farwell. six miles west of thla
city. In corn that went , about sixty-five
bushels to the acre. . The corn waa weighed
and examined by three 1 of the moat re
putable farmers In the community, II. J.

was a very fine grade of corn, being

(From a Staff Correspondent.)
DES M01NE9. Dec. 1 (Speclal.)-State
Superintendent John F. Rigs received to
day an official legal opinion from Attorney
General Mullan on the application of the
compulsory school attendance law of the
state as it applies to a case In Shenandoah,
which has already become conspicuous as
the first serious effort to settle the ques
tion of the right to give instructions at
home. The opinion of the attorney general
was asked some time ago and It was
understood that the trial in court was to
be delayed at Shenandoah until the attor
ney general could decide, but thla was not
done. The attorney general decides In
brief that the duty of determining whether
a private or parochial school complies
with the law rests upon the president of
the school board, that all violations of
the law as to school attendance must
be reported by school officers, that the
school board president may Investigate
directly or call a meeting of the school
board, that an Investigation must follow,
that it is competent for the board of
directors to cause to be disclosed whether
a private or parochial school la In fact
giving Instruction equivalent to the public
schools and to secure this Information In
any reasonable way and that this Inquiry
must go to the length of showing whether
or not the persons who are gllng Instruc
tion are competent. In transmitting thla
opinion to the president of the school board
at Shenandoah today State Superintendent
Riggs Indicates that while It might not be
oomitent for the county superintendent
to enforce the taking out of a certificate
by a parent who claims to be educating
a child at home, yet the superintendent
would have a right to Inquire Into the
capacities of such parent. The state su
peiintendent believes that If the court at
Shenandoah, where th test case was
made, had waited until the attorney gen
eral had digested the law the outcome
would have been different, but the case
will probably be reopened and it will be
tried In a way to have a complete test of
the law.
The case was one In which Mr. and Mr.
Frank DeBh, ex-missionaries and religious
enthusiasts, refused to send their children
to school and the father wa arrested and
tried. He established that he waa giving
his children some educational opportunl
ties at home. It Is the first time any such
question has been raised with reference to
the law. If tne ruling of the court holds
and the case s made a precedent there
will be Utile chance to enforce the law
In this state.
Roral Roatea In Iowa. -
Charles E. Llewellen of this city, special
agent for the rural" mall service for Iowa,
fora.erly a resident of Omaha, starts out

to completely cover th counties of the
tate. Nearly ail the routes jot Iowa will

service will be more nearly perfect,' and a
number of agents will be kept in the state

Shorter Qaarantlne Period.
Under a recent revision of the rules relat
ing to quarantine by the State Board of
Health, patients afflicted with diphtheria
may be released from quarantine much
sooner than under the old custom. This Is
a decided Innovation for the , Iowa State
board and Is causing much comment. The
regulations provide that examination must
be made by the state bacteriologist and as
aoon as the evidence Is that the disease has
progressed so that it is not contagious the
quarantine may be removed. This may be
done in some eases In four or flv day In
stead of the much longer periods hereto
fore arbitrarily required.
Postofflce Robbers Sentenced.
Andrew Sorenaon and Frank Hodge were
aentenced by Judge McPherson in the
United State court this morning to ten
year each In the penitentiary for the rob
bery of the postofflce at Van Meter, la., a
few weeks ago.
Both men were indicted and tried on two
counts. First, breaking and -entering the
postofflce, and, second, the actual robbery
of the government and carrying away of
money and property in the government's
charge. They were given the extreme .pen
alty, five years oh each count.
Iowa Bank Conditions.
Iowa banks report an Increase of $3,069,215
In deposits between August 4 and November
10, and an Increase of $5,136,803 In bills re
ceivable. But the deposit increase is largely
accounted for by the fact that for the first
time the deposits of the Iowa Loan and
Trust company were included In the report
There was, however, an actual decrease In
deposits. . ,
The capital stock of banks increased $G28,
150, the surplus Increased $01,813 and the un
divided profits increased $644,844.
The total capital stock of the 403 savings
