THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : SUNDAY. JANUARY 30 , 1S87.-SIXTEEN PAGES. MAUD UDLL'S ' STOLEN BODY , The People of Warren Oounty , Iowa , Still Excited Over the Affair. HOW THE CORPSE WAS FOUND.

DMMotNF.s , la. , Jnn. 20.-fSpeclnl Tele gram to the Hi.t : . ] The pcoplo of Carlisle , a village In Waricu county , about sixteen miles south of DCS Molncs , nro still greatly ex cited over the grave robbery that occurred there 801)10 ) week1) ngo. The yoiiuc lady , Miss Maud Hull , whoso body was stolen , was n resident of that place nnd highly re spected by all who krevv her. She was about sixteen or seventeen yeais old , unusually beautiful nnd attractive In her manner , nnd a gcncial favorite In the village , She was liv ing nt dome with her mother nnd her brother , who was n physician , ns had been her father , who died n llttlo more than a year n o. During the middle of De cember Mhs Hull was taken sick with some lllncsn resembling n fever but not considered dangerous. Indue tlmo ( > ho began to ic on or nnd bad nearly regained tier usual health when she suddenly grew \vorso nnd soon died. The suddenness ot her departure caused a llttlo comment nnd there was n llttlo suspicion on the pait of some that shomlcht have lieijii poisoned , either accidentally or for suicidal Intent , nnd Some of the friends wanted n post mortem examination. Hut the family did not think there was any need of one and none vvns held. The burial took place In n country graveyard , and the following morning a farmer living In the vicinity no ticed wagon tracks In the ficsh snow loading to the cemetery. Ho followed them , nnd saw indications that the grave had been dis turbed. ( lolngback for neighbors ho returned and made the staitling discovery that thu grave was empty nnd the body had been stolen. The family nnd friends were nt ouco nollllcd , nnd n dlllgont but quiet seaich was made. This occurred eaily In Christ mas week. On Wednesday of that week the young lady's brother came to DCS Molnes and made n search through the various medical colleges here , there being three. The family by tills tlmo were nearly distracted with giief. but they could Und no comlort orsatlstactlon In their fruitless In quiry. The help of local ofllcers was secured nnd the search was continued Thursday and Friday , n watch being kept of the medical colleges each night , but without ptfect Ulllccr liradshaw , however , had asusplclon that the body would vet be biotight to one of the col leges , and was Inclined to think that this ouo would bo thu Jovvn College of Physicians nnd tiuiKCOHH. The professois In the college had shown ho reluctance to their Inspection of the promises nnd ho was satisfied that the body was not yet there. Hut ho had an Idea that It would como beforn lonu , so on Satur day night ( Christmas night ) lie waited until thu college had been closed for the day nnd all connected with it had lolt. Then ho cnmo down to the Itcglster block , which nd- loins it , nnd clhnblni ; out on the roof ho lowered himself thinugh the scuttle to the medical college. Plot-ceding straight , way to the dissecting room hu was rewarded by finding stie.U'hed out on thu dissecting table the body of a young lady evidently the onu ho sought. The body had not been mu tilated In any way save that the skin of the lace had been removed , apparently to jirovent identification. lie vvns satlslied that hu had loiitid thu body of Maud Hull. Ho hastened avv.iy nnd In ought bnck the brother , who declared nt once that It was his sister. When the olllccr first onteiod thu room hu snw n lock ot hair lying on the table. Ho jitomptly secured that and It nltci winds helped to Identity thu body. Theio wuio other marks of identifica tion as well. During thu girl's sickness homo hot bricks or irons had been applied to her feet which had slipped loose nnd slightly binned the ilrsh. This mnik now appealed nn lliu body that was found. There had also been a slight bum or sciatch on the tirm madu at thu time ot death to see If llto was extinct nnd this now appealed to conliim thu bellof that thu missing body had been found. Dr. Sehooler , the dean of the laculty , was iiotlliod nt once. Ho oxjupsscd Ignoianco concoinlni ; tlm Identity of the remains. but said that if the family were iiatisiied that the bodv was Hint of thulr child they could rnmovo it without tumble. They were indeed satlshed nnd the body was at once taken back to Wiu- ren county. Hero , lor a tlmo , the matter apparently rested. Snvoial citizens of C.ullslo , fiionds of the allllcted family , came up to DCS lollies and wciu indignant at the otttrai-u that had been perimtiated and sounht to discover the guilty juitics , but they iccelved llltlp pncourageirent and scarcely nny clue on which they could work. Thu medical college luitlioiitles , as usual In such cases , aio thu most Ignotant of all , and whllo "deeply regretting the sad occmronee , " ns usual could throw no light on the mysluilous nlfalr. Meantime the trlcnds of the joung lady and her family have been leavlm ; no stones untuined to liud out who had done this ghoulish vvoik. The past week the Krnnd jury of Warren county has been in session in Indlauola nnd information was laid bolero it such us to cause tlm Indictment 1 Dr. Schooler , the dean ot thu medical col- lecu where the body was found. Yesterday n deputy sheriff fiomVanen \ county cair.o to Jcs Molnes and jilaced Dr. Schooler under nircst. Hu went nt once to lu- illanola , tiled a bond nnd was released to appear when his case will bo heaid , which will b nt thu next toim ot coutt. Dr. Schooler Is vciy gonciall } IP- f-pccted In this community and thu general Impression seems to bo that he was nnested luoio with the hone that fiom him somu clue to the names of the guilty parties miirlit bo obtained lathni than from a belief that hu was hliuselt n paity to or concerned in the despicable outiago. Infatuated Senator. UI.TIIOIT , Jan. 2' ' . lSjccial ) Tulo/ram to the UKI : . ] "Any baby would know better than that , " said Senator Jones , of Florida , when shown a statumont In n Florida paper to the clfcct that the goveinor of that state had n light to dcclnto the senatoi's place vacant because of his continued absence from the body to which ho had been elected. "It Is thu senate that has jurisdiction over mo. If my presence Is needed theio to eom- ploton quorum , 01 for nny other purpose , they can send the suigennt-at-arms tornio and 1 must go. It is a question with mo If even llio hcnato could declaru n vacancy In my case beeauso of nbsunce. It never has attempted Mich a course In similar cases. Tlm constitus tlon sjieakx of n vacancy tioni resignation- death or otlior cause , but that other cause ha , uuverjpt been consttued , nnd It would place n dangerous jxiwer In the hands of the ma- Jotltylf nipru absence , when thostMiato has power to compel attendance , should ciuato a vacancy.

[ Correspondence of llio UIK : | The making ot bounteous bequests seems to have bccomo nu epidemic. Tlio Inst Is Jonas Oilman ClarkoC Worcester , nlio tilanks down a , trilling million or so for the founding of nn educational Institution to bo known ns Claik university , In the city of Worcester. It seems i.itlior unkind to find nny ( null \vltli n man \\lio Is so generous with his money ns Mr. Clark has been , nntl I would not say anything to discourage the bo * stowal of monov for such n cause as educa tion. Jiut would It notlmnclcllglittulchange If the givers would now and then overclso n llttlo discretion In m.iklng their glfta. Massachusetts , and oven all Now Kncland , Is crowded \\ltliscliools nnd colleges. Harvard , thn foremost of American unl\orsltlo.s , Is but n short dUtunro tioiu Worcester , nnd It \k\\i \ bo an ago bcfoic Clark university can cope with her. IJcsldcs gre.\t sums of money , It lias taken tworonturlusnnd a hall to make llnivnid what she Is , and It Is highly 1m- Diohablc that a nc\v unlscislty bo near by will over bocomn her successful ilval. "ialo follows close behind Harvard , whllo Amherst , Williams , Dartmouth , HIO\MI , How- uoln and Colby art ; within thoradlus of a lew miles. If Air. Clark had given his lortuno to strengthen ouo of these smaller college * , or If lie had t.iken It to tlm west and given It to Rome of thti many stiuggllng voting Institu tions which soicly need assistance of this kind , he would much mnio juolly have ( Mined the name ol benefactor. Mr. Clark's gift Is not the onlv example of misplaced generosity. Across the rhcr at Harvaul the snug little sum of S10.000 trout some westein enthusiast lies waiting ; to bo converted into " , i gateway to bo elected at the main ciitianco of the college jard. " .Tlicro are no narticulai objections to a S ? 10,000 gateway , but the money might be used In n hundred other wa\s of more ad vantage to the college. Then comes Mt. ( ircHUloaf'a million , ho tied down th.it It cm not bo used lei the building of douultoiles , which are just what the college needs now , since one-third ot the men aio unable to get looms in thoyaid. 'I'hosoiiatoiial contest Is ovci , and unlike Nebraska , Massachusetts has lo-elccted her senatoi. It has been a ( inlet am' ' steady liiilil between the supporters of Goveinoi Koblnson Cointressiuan John D. Lontr , and Senator llenry \ * . .Danes and resulted In the re-election of Mr. lawca on the Urst joint vote. When the democrats saw that their votes would elect Mr Dawes , they began chanKing Jrom their candidate , lion. P. A , Collins , to U.iwes : and in littcen minutes enough democrats had changed to glvo Dawes the election. There Is a pretty general teulinc of satisfaction among the lepublicans that Dawes was elected , but m.iny ot them are cxtieniply sorry that ho got the election by deuiociatlc votes. In my opinion Massachusetts has done heiself iitoul tore-elect Mr. li\ ; s. llehas sencd the paity and the country lor m.iiiy jeartIs an eminently capable man , and thoie U no leason why he should ho removed. Mr. Long Is a younc man , and It was llio youncvr element In the republican ranks which suppoitcd him. That ho is brilliant there is no doubt ; but the ii-publicans need brilliancy in the house as well ns in the sen.tte , and Mr. Kontr \erywellwhere hois. It is true that Mr. Daw es * success has caused n trilling ripple in thopattv , but it could not base been otheiwise , and it is .sale to say that any other lesnlt of the election would have lett the party in a much less har monious condition. The noted re\ivalists , Sam Jones and Sam Small , are both in Hoston , preaching to laige audiences and no doubt doing good among the class ol peopln who go to hear them. Another dopartuio in the way of revivals is the beginning of asorles of public leliglous sen ices to bo held In old Knneiill hall , nndei the auspices of the Tilnity club. A most eloquent sermon was pieaehcd Inst night l > r Jtev. rhllllps litool.s , to an Immense amll- enco which icpio ented neaily every nation. Those meetings are n. God-send to many ot the North Knd inhabitants. Many of the e people novel attend chinch , while those who do attend larcly ha\e an opoitunlty ] to heat such a man as Dr. litooks. Jt will boot interest to watch the result ot these meetings , since they aie a ladieal change liom the general JCjiiscoji.il way ol doings , and there is mneh conjecture a'- , to how the idea will suit some ot the o.xclushe Kpiscopallans ot Tiinlty church. in establishing these meetings the Tiinlty" club has tollowcd dlicctlv in the wake ol the Unltaiians with their bnllolk confeiences , and nicotines in the llow.iid Athoiueuin ; the Y. M. C. A. with its public meetings on the common , and thu Methodists with theii Jones and Small rovhals. * * * 1 miif.t not fail to mention thogieat ponltiy show whfch took jlaco ) In Mechanics' bullu- ingl.istweflk.
