The recent election of scnool teachers re
vives the discussion us to the peculiar meth
ods by which the elections are made. It was
hoped that there would bo a reform this year ,
but the old method wus followed out. Kach
member of thu board nominated his alloted
number of teachers , und of course no ono
would vote against the nominations made by
a brother member. It amounted , as It always
has , to each member choosing a certain num
ber of teachers.
1'veu members of the board regret that
certain tried and successful teachers Imvo
been left out this year. Tha cause of this
seems to bo the peculiar method by which
teachers aro'selected. . Kach mem
ber in turn would nominatea teacher ,
und would leave it to some ace else to nniai-
lute so mo ono eh > a. By this sort of a way it
i was discovered that when there wore only
three or four moro teachers to be elected
'licro were several times that number of old
ca > ; licrs who had not been elected. Seine
ind * ° bo frozen out.
A minority of the board urged the sclcc-
von flrsVNof such of the eld teachers ns It
was deemeiid vlinblo to retain. Then when
; hat list was < ? \nnustpil nominations were to
bo made from tbo new applicants. The
minority was soon voted down on this , and
an Indiscriminate scramble fallowed. Ttifl
result is that 80JBC.worthy teachers have
been left out , and their places giveil loin-
experienced tsnch.C.r9 ' J1 ' 3 suggested that
next year the names bomit in a bat , and
then. ( Jrown by a blindfolded lad. The se
lection w'outl uo about as wise and probably
as satisfactory ! , " *

Chief Lucas made a very quick and clever
capture of two burglars yesterday after
noon. Ho was eating his dinner when ho
saw n man niU'roacj Jmh o Aj sworth in
front of "tho Hechtele. Thinking froin kl3
actions that something , was wrong ho np-
lironohcd nnd learned that the stranger ,
whoso name was J. W. Smith , was making a
complaint that his house , on thu Crescent
City road , was robbed some time Wednes
day , during the absence of the family. The
liouse was locked up at 10 o'clock in the
morning , nnd when the family returned at 7
In the evening they found everything upside
down. Two $ " > gold pieces , nn English sov
ereign , a revolver , handkerchiefs , old coins ,
etc. , wcro missing. Mr. Smith stated that
some of the stolen property had been
pawned at Goldstein's , on Upper Broadway ,
durinir the forenoon , nud the thlof was
described ns a fellow with a black mus
tache , nnd wearing corduroy pants. With
this meagre description the chief started out ,
heading for the dummy depot to Intercept
his man , who inluht take a notion to leave
town. Ho took in all the saloons and dives
on the way , and found the follow and a part
ner drinking In a saloon on Broad
way , be'twecn Seventh and ICIghth stiosts.
They were placed under arrest , \yjieii tbo
gentleman of the corduroy unmentionables
objected to walking along in the hot sun , but
suddenly changed his maid when his wrist
wns encircled by the officer's "comu along. "
The pair weie taken to the police station ,
where they were searched and some of the
stolen goods found in their possession. They
gave the names of George Uutlcr and Charles
Lnwson. The chief visited the Colorado
house , where ho found tUO two gold pieces
and old coins , au of which Smith described
accurately , giving the dates. The proprie
tor said ho refused to take the sovereign ,
not knowing its value.
The foreign coin was found , however , at
Jack Green's place , .Mso a torn oi.e dollar
hill , which were cnsily identified by Smith.
All that was not found was a watch und
chain , which the hlcf tried to sell to Green ,
but the latter would not purchase. The
prisoner Butler was rccogni/cd nt the police
station by both Green and the proprietor of
the Colorado house as the party who had
given them the stolen monoy.

The changes and improvements being made
in Fairuiount park arc rendering that charm
ing resort moro nttnictlvo in many respects.
The water pipes are laid , ami in a few days
the fountains will be running nnd the lake
will bo completed. The fountain at the en
trance of the park is to bo in the form of a
spring , the water coining out from amid the
rocks , presenting a cool , tempting invitation
to the thirsty ones. In the park , near the
summit , is the little house , with its rocky
path and rustic bower , another inviting
plnco where thirst may bo slaked. Ther.o is
a large cistern put in at the summit , and
water is pumped from the reservoir
into this and from this the water
supplies the little house , and the
overflow runs into the little lake located
far down in the Horseshoe valley. The little -
tlo lake will be a beauty. It Is about a hun
dred feet long , and in the center will ho two
sprays and a leaping fountain. A little
further down the valley is another drinking
fountain. The band house , located on the
summit on a prominent point , has bccn'madc.
very attractive , as well'iis convenient. The
driveways are being improved and others
will be made , so that ono fan drive down into
Horseshoe valley , and about the little lake.
Fairmount park is fust becoming one of the
most pleasing parks in the whole country.
Its natural beauties can certainly not bo ex
celled , and with the improvements made each
year , it cannot hut attract attention , and ex
cite the admiration of tourists.

A special from DCS Moines appeared in
last Tuesday's Hui ; to the effect that a crazy
man was arrested on the train at that city
and lodged In the county J.ii ) for safe keep
ing. He was well supplied with money , and
gave his name ns James Crimmcns. His
ticket was for Council Bluffs , and ho was
from Havcrhill , N. H.
He has not arrived hero , and the object
of his western trip was made Known yester-
duy. His father , John Criniinens , is a la
borer , nnd was ut work In this city until last
April , when ho broke his thumb , nnd wus
compelled to lay up for repairs.
The doctor thought the broken bones wore
knitting nicely , hut they went wrong nnd it
was finally necessary to amputate the mem
ber.
ber.Mr.
Mr. Crimmens was being treated nt St.
Bernard's hospital , and wrote to his son in
New Hampshire to send him money to come
homo. Instead of doing so the Ron started
west to find his father and take him back
with him. The father knew nothing of this
until he saw the special in TUB liii : ; . The
MotherSuperiorof St. Ucrnard's telegraphed
to the chief of pollco nnd she rill at DCS
Moincs in regard to the matter , but no an
swer was received. It Is probable thut the
young man was so afraid of being robbed
that he kept awake to watch his money , and
the loss of sleep and the heat affected his
nervous system so strongly as to unsettle
his reason. Mr. Crimmcns is very anxious
to hear from him , nnd It is honed that tbo
DCS Moincs authorities will reply as to what
disposition has been made of him.

was , without question , out of her head ,

An ISxpcrt "Boss" Man.
Council Bluffs uow prides itself on having
an expert "boss" reporter. Ho is doing thoraces
races , und samples of his brilliant descrip
tive powers are interesting :
"In the third heat great confusion prevailed
on the homo run. "
"The Maid thus won the heat by a techni
cality , she being really In second placo. "
"Tho mill was run in 1D. : ! Aquarius made
a most splendid Home run. "
"P.it Quinri , having lost a shoe , had been
withdrawn fiom the hent. In the previous
heat he hud been distanced. "
"An easy homo run was made by the
thrco animals , "
" continued to break into
"McGregor a gal
lop. The horses got homo in poor shupo
mid style. "
"Mr. Smith is a shrewd and impartial um
pire. "
"In the hurdle race the horses Jumped
gracefully over the obstructions which had
been placed across the track. They tilted
the second hurdle. "
Overcome \\ltli Heat.
Last evening a young man by the nanio of
Peter Hico loft his place of employment on
Broadway and started for his hoarding place ,
the Colorado house , for supper. A few min-
utrs later ho was seen on Washington avenue -
nuo running at full speed. Heiiching the
corner of Eighth ho fell prone upon the side
walk. As he did not rise , those who hud
noticed his queer actions rushed to his side ,
when it was discovered that he was already
unconscious. Ho was taken into the front
yard at No. 723 and Drs. Thomas and Cook
were sent for. Stimulants were given him ,
but ho failed to rally. At 10:30 : it was not
thought possible that ho could recover.
Very Httlo could ho learned concerning him.
He has been employed in several of thu
restaurants und saloons about the city in a
menial rapacity. The only rclativo he has in
tnls country is a biother living nt Am boy ,

During the afternoon of the Fourth sev
eral breaks occurred to the motor cars. The
most serious and trotiblcsomo was that at
Tenth avenue , In which a cur was rendered
entirely useless. The train was overloaded ,
and when ready to re-embark , after throw
ing out the broken car , some of the crowd in
sisted that all the passengers should go on
thut train or it should not move at all. Ex
postulntions and other means were tried to
change this determination , but without avail.
Finally Captain Anderson told the would-bo
toughs that he was a deputy sheriff for the
day und that ho would arrest the first man
who attempted to interfere with the moving
of the train. A couple of ( cllows tried to
enforce their previous determination , and
were promptly "cracked" by the deputy for
their pains. When the train wus properly
loaded it moved onward toward the lake ,
after a two hours' delay ,
It May I'rovo Fatal ,
A section hand named John Burke met
with an accident near the local Milwaukee
depot yesterday morning that may cost him
his life. Ho was cutting weeds at the side
of the track , when the engine of an incoming
train struck him on the head , cutting n deep
gash in his scalp and knocking him senseless.
Ho was taken to his homo , 520 Sovcntosnth
avenue , where , u physician attended him. Ha
was severely injured , and the chances are
much against his rccavcry.
Two SliarporH Cincliod ,
About 0 o'clock last evening Attorney
Lindt swore out an information against a
couple of fellows who were running a "skin"
gamoattlio corner of Main nnd Bioadway.
They were taken before "Squlro Bennett for
examination. Mr. Lindt conducted the ex
amination and Mr. Snyder appeared for the
defendants. The case was continued until
to-day , und the prisoners were held ia { 100
bonds. They were unable to furnish the re
quired sum and \vyro taken to tbe county
Jail for snfo keeping. They wcro working
the old swinging ball and pin game , nnd were
catching no end of suckers. They had n per
mit from the city clerk , but It is a sad reflec
tion on the city government. The greed of
the city ofllciuls to get money into the treas
ury is running away with them.

A man by the name of Smith , living on the
hank of Indian creek , south of Washington
avenue , was severely injured while attend
ing the races on the Fourth. Ho was climb
ing through the fence ns a runaway team
plunged over it. and nn iron brace struck
him on the left sldo , breaking thrco ribs. Ho

Popular Education.
We sympathize * with the feeling which
often leads citizens to boast that no child
born in this country need grow up in
ignorance , and yet it is n fact that many
people who have learned to read and
write have never taught themselves to
think. A man who suffered from ca
tarrh , consumption , bronchitisscrofuln.
or "liver complaint , " might read , till
his eyes dropped out , how these apd
many other diseases have been cured by
Dr. Pierco's Golden Medical Discovery ,
but is he did not take the lesson to him
self and test the virtues of this great
medicine , his time would bo thrown
siwav.
