The greatest drawback to the best
work being done in our schools are
Irregular attendance and tardiness.
These have already been reported
to the county superintendent three
times this year. As it Is the parent's
duty to be at his place of business
each day and there on time, so ought
it to be the child's duty to be In
school each day, and there on time
It Is one of the most valuable busi
ness habits to be acquired. There
are a number of children in school
who miss one-third or the time or
more. The records show this to
have been true also in the past
years. The time Is now here when
all such pupils should be In school
regularly for the remainder of tin
year in order to be able to pass to
the next grade. They are a hinder
ance to their class mates who attend
regularly, always holding the class
back, making them weak. We are
glad to say, however, that most of
the pupils attend very regularly, and
among them we have some of the
brightest pupils we have ever met.
Parents, come let us work together
to break up this evil of Irregularity
and make our schools the best in the
state.

ever used. My trouble was a heavy

DID HE COMMIT

q (JulJCrf Formerly Of This
City, Asphysialcd in Omaha.
Dr. it. W. duller, a ii 1 1 ; el about
fio cars old, who had offices, in
room 12 of the llushiuaii block,
northeast corner of Sixteenth and
Douglass streets, was found dead
from asphyxiation in his laboratory
Ht 10: oil Wednesday morning.
lt Is thought be committed sui
cide, although llie police think it
barely possible there may I'" olht
causes for lis death.
Coing to his office about rlfcht
o'clock in the morning P. S. Minuer,
manager of the Central Klecliie com
pany, smelted gas strongly and tried
to locate the source, but not until
10:. "ill was the body of the denllsl
round reclining comfortably In a
rocking chair In his laboratory. En
trance was gained to I he place liv Mr.
Minner who round the tiody, ny us
ing a long ladder and entering a
long window of Dr. Clutter's office
from Sixteenth street.
A rubber hose which is used to
connect small gas stoves with gas
jest, was found running from a Jet
in the wall to within a hand's read-
of the body of the dead man, itfifl,
it Is thought, he entered bis office
late Tuesday night, turned off all the
gas and electric lights after arrang
ing his mode of death and then sat
down quietly to await death.
He wan last seen about 10 o'clock
Tuesday night In a saloon near his
office building by friends of Madam
Buddha, a palmist, who has an of
fice In the Bushman block, at about
the same hour.
Minner Gives the Alarm.
As soon after the body was found
by Mr. Minner Wednesday morning
the police station and Coroner lieu
ley were notified. Tin latter took
charge of the body after Detective
Sieve Maloney had made an Inves
tigation of the premises. Other wit
nesses of the result of the tragedy
were Agent J. F. Miles of the build
lug, John F. Frahm, a painter liv
Ing at 4 ." 0 3 Leavenworth street, II
M. liuddha, and Detective Maioncy.
Charles C. Clutter, only son of tin
dentist, is thought to have been III)
cause of the doctor's worrying. Tin
son was arrested after the discovery
of the body and taken to the poller
station in a drunken stupor, loo
drunk to realize that his rather was
dead. He is not held in Hie casi
drunkenness being I lie only charg
against him.
Mrs. Clutter, the widow, Is visit
ing friends in Texas, where she lias
been for some time. It is sabl llial
the financial affairs of Dr. Clutter
were also not in the lies! of shape and
this is assigned as another possibb
( ause for the tragedy.
Humors about t lie building when
he bad his office, to the effect that
a man visited him late Tuesday night
an; thought to lie without foundation
or at least, to have nothing to do
with the dentist's death.
Ex-Sergeant Helmut of the police
force Is a cousin of the dead man.
No other relatives are known to the
authorities. Omaha Bee.
The Dr. Geo. W. Clutter spoken of
above was, at one time, a well known
resident of this city, having located
here about the year 1 878 and occu
pylng rooms over the store of Sol-
oman & Nathan. He remained
here In the active practice of his
profession until the middle KO's
when he (dosed out his office and
went to Lincoln, Denver and Finally
to Omaha where he has been an
active practitioner ever since. Dur
ing his time In this city he had built
up a good practice and was a pop
ular dentist. The recollection of his
family here is that It consisted of a
wife, son and daughter. The boy Is
especially well remembered as being
an unusually bright young man ami
his. fall from grace as chronicled
above Is a great shock' to all who
had known him. During the years of
his life In this city Mr. Clutter had
built up a great many friends, all of
whom express the deepest regret at
hln untimely end. The widow who
Is also well known and very popular
among her acquaintances has the
sympathy of all In her bereavement.
