A young man , a blacksmith who works

wandering 'along on one ot the beautiful
\ walks In Fall-mount park In company with
Ills best girl. They reached a portion ot the
park where but few people were In sight.
Tlllm they wore startled by the appearance
of two negroes , who stepped out of the
shrubbery and commanded them to hold up
their Imnds. A good deal of pursuaslvo force
was given to the command by the glint ol
the electric light on the barrels of a couple
of revolvers In the hands of the negroes.
The man was carefully searched , but the
highwaymen found lltlle to repay them for
tholr trouble. They did not molest the
woman and quickly disappeared after they
had robbed the young blacksmith. The mat

they were put In possession ot facts that

The fuel has been made pretty prominent
vlthln the past few days that It Is not ward
lolltlcs that Is impelling the Hoard of Edit-
ntlon to dismiss Prof. It. W. Sawyer from
its position as superintendent of the public
ichools of Council Illuffs because he Is a
lemocrat , but that It Is the American hook
: rust , which Institution Is getting friends
ilaced where they can do the most good In
: ho way of securing a prospective contract
north from f 20,000 to $25,000. This con
tract the Council Illulfs Hoard of Education
: nn make , in fact , will be obliged to make ,
this summer.
Six years ago Senator Groneweg , working
In the Interest of a free text book bill In thu
legislature. Introduced and carried through
i compromise bill that made It obligatory
upon Hit- school boards of the state to pur
chase at wholesale all of the school books
need In each district. This law requires the
lioard to advertise for bids and to contract
with the responsible bonk publishing house
altering the best prices for standard educa
tional text hooks. The contract must run
for n period of five years , and during that
tlmo no changes can be made In the courses
of study that will displace any of the text
books contracted for. These books are
bought directly from the publishers and sold
to the pupils at net cost. The present con
tract was made live years ago , and consequently
quently has expired. The board is obliged
to renew It with the present publishers upon
the old or better terms , or make n new con
tract with other publishing houses. A con
tract with other publishers means the abso
lute less ot every school text book used In
the schools at the present time.
SOME LOCAL HISTORY.
Whtu thu contract was made flvc years
ago there were several competitors In the
field , and there was a hot light with many
sensational features , the most sensational
of which were only made public yesterday ,
when one of the gentlemen who constituted
the school board then made the positive - Midpoint
point 'blank declaration that the American
Hook trust , through Its agent , W. H. Stoner ,
made cold-blooded propositions of bribery
as a last effort to secure the contract. At
that time the book trust had only one agent
here to look after Its interests , Mr. Stoner.
At the present tlmo Mr. Stoner Is in the
field , but has n , lieutenant to help him.
In 1S01 Lucius Wells was president of the
board , and John Schoentgen and W. C.
Stacy were the committee on teachers and
course of study. The duty ot selecting the
text books and making the contracts de
volved upon President Wells and the mem
bers of the committee. Mr. Schoentgen was
chairman of the committee , and one day he
called upon Mr. Wells at the lattcr's office
and asked his assistance In the work , stat
ing that he and Mr. Stacy did not feel like
assuming the responsibility. Wells replied
that he knew nothing of the merits of the
various books and had no time to attend to
the matter if he did ; but that he knew a
man who was competent to make the selec
tion and upon whoso Judgment he was per
fectly willing to rely. That man was Prof.
H. W. Sawyer , who had just been elected to
the position of superintendent. It was
agreed then that Prof. Sawyer should be
called In consultation and the matter of
selecting the books left almost wholly to
him. Prof. Sawyer entered upon his work
promptly and carefully after the loads of
specimen books sent to the teachers' com
mittee had been turned over to him. In
the course of time ho prepared a report.
This report recommended , among other
books , "Tho Normal Music Course , " "Pot
ter's Geography , " "Montgomery's American
History" and "Grcenleaf's Arithmetic. "
These hooks were nil published by anti
trust concerns , and supplanted the following
corresponding four published by the trust :
"Loomls' Music , " "Eclectic Geography , "
"Quackcnbush's United States History" and
"Fish's Arithmetic. " While Prof. Sawyer
was making his examinations he was fre
quently called upon by the trust's agent ,
Stoner. The object of Stoner's visits was
made known by Mr. Schoentgen In an in
terview with The Heo yesterday , and Just
at this tlmo Schoentgen's statement is very
sensational reading.
SCHOENTGKN'S STRAIGHT STORY.
"Old anybody ever offer me a bribe ?
Yes. Just once , ono man , and he was W. H.
Stoner , confidential agent of the American
Hook Trust , " said the ex-member. "He at
tempted to bribe mo to give his company
the contract for furnishing the school books
for five years. It occurred In this way : He
had made frequent visits to mo and urge 1 mo
most earnestly to favor his company. I
told him the matter of selecting the best
books had been left to Prof. Sawyer , but
he said ho had seen Sawyer many times
and couldn't do anything with him ; ( hut
Sawyer wouldn't even talk to him , but would
walk away whenever ho approached the
subject. Finally lie came Into my office
ono afternoon and said : 'Schoentgon , I wont
to see you over In my room In the Grand
hotel. ' I put on my hat and coat and ac
companied him to the room , where ho had
been dispensing champagne and fine cigars
to the members of the board for a long
time.
"Wo entered , and ho went right to the
root of the matter by declaring : 'Schoentgen ,
my company must have tills contract at
any price. Sawyer won't let me talk to
him , and It all remains with you. I will
give you K 00 If you will give up the con
tract. ' I eskcd him bow much there was
In It for his company , anil ho sal ] $1.1.000
to $25.000. I was stunned. It was my firht
experience. Ho thought I was hesitating ,
and ho played his trump card. 'I am au
thorized , Schoentgen , to double that amount
I will give you $1,000 $ In cold cash If you
will recommend my hooka. ' "
Mr. Schoentgen brought his (1st ( down upon
the table with force that almost split tin-
boards when ho described what followed.
"I told thu fellow that all personal consid
erations and friendship between us were
at an end , and that not ono of his books
should ho adopted in the schools of Council
Illuffs If I could prevent It. 'You l > ave used
th" methods with me that you have In forty-
five out of fifty rlmllar cases , ' said I , and
ho quickly Interrupted. 'No , forty-nine out
of fifty , and this Is the first time 1 ever made
a mlstako In my man , the first tlmo I ever
failed. '
"Wo recommended and the board adopted
Sawyer's report , or the selections made by
hlm at our request. I have been hearing It
for two years that Sawyer was In the way
ot the book trust and would have to go. He
augured the truet by refusing to permit an
agent to approach him while selecting the
books to bit recommended. Ho got Into It
because ho was requested by us to do the
work. I hiivo neon Stoner a number of times
since then. Ho always calls upon rae when
he comes to town and was In here u short
time P.JTO. "
MISS PORTERFIELD'S EXPEUIKNCTJ.
Miss Lou Portcrfiehl. supervisor of music
In the schools , who failed to he re-elected ,
wua visited yesterday afternoon and ques
tioned concerning her experiences with tin
trust. She tmld she. had been visited e
number of times by an agent of the com
pany and a U'd by him to look over "The
Natural Music Course. " which ho desired
hir to recommend In place of the coursi
now In use In thu schools. The agent wai
u Mr. EppHtetn of Chicago. Ills first vlsli
vas just before the meeting of the South
western Iowa Teachers' acioclatlon hold
hero last April , and other visits were dur
ing and subsequent to that time. He left
the books and she looked over them care
fully , but saw that the system was bated
upon the Normal course , now In use and
was lu no respects superior. Ho labored
very earnestly with ber to Induce her to
change her mind but the dcfcuded her con
victions vigorously
"I realized , " said she "that U would co |
the patrons of our BchooU about $2,003 tc
make the change , and I would not think
of .recommending It , especially when It
was not any belter. Our present system
Involves the use of thirty large musical
charts In the school rooms. There cost
$10 apiece , or $300 , and I couldn't think ot
throwing them away , and 1 told him so
very emphatically. Ho left , giving me to
understand , although he did not nny so ,
that If I would not recommend the change
In books his company would have to get
somebody that w.Vild. H was a very Im
politic thing for me to do perhaps. Ho
wrote to mo once afterward from Chicago ,
asking me to go out to Logan or Hoone.
where I could see the nystem working , hut
I never answered his letter. It never oc
curred to mo mill recently that my refusal
to approve the change may hove had some
thing to do with my failure to bo re-
oltcted. "
Various members of the board were vis
ited yesterday afternoon , and the discovery
was made that they were liberally supplied
with specimen books , all bearing the Im
print of the American Hook Publishing com
pany. The card of W. H. Stoner was found
In some of the books.
SAWYER'S SUCCESSOR CHOSEN' .
Dr. Robertson and Dell G. Morgan. Iwo
of the members , were visited , and asked
It n majority of the members had not
agreed upon the election of Prof. Joe Heizy
of Kansas City. With n llttlo reluctance
they admitted that such was the case , and
that ho would be elected upon the first bal
lot at the meeting to be held this evening
for that purpose in the Hoard of Education
rooms.
In this connection It Is somewhal Interest
ing to know thai Hclzy's appointment In the
public schools of Kansas City was duo to
the Influence of Prof. Fltzpatrlek , formerly
superintendent of the sehools at Omaha , who
Is now In the employ of the Hook Trust.
The rumor that has boon In circulation
for several days thai Miss Kennedy , who
was chosen lo supcrcodo Miss Porlerftcld
as supervisor of music , IB a special protege
of Mr. Helzy could not be verified last even
ing. Two attempts were made to ECO her
yesterday afternoon , but a previous engage-
Jiient made It Impossible for her to meet
the reporters.
Prof. Sawyer Is at Glonwood , conducting
a teachers' Institute , and his information
concerning the former actions ot the book
trust's agent in connection with the con
tract from the Council Illuffs School board
could not bo obtained.

Cannot Amrc < - on ( In * Conditions.
The city council and the water works com
pany had another unsatisfactory round yes
terday morning and the fight is still a draw-
so far as results arc concerned.
When the committee on fire and water of
the city council got ready for the test the
members were served with this notice by
.Manager Hart of the water works company :
You are hereby notified that the Council
HlulT.s City Wutor Works company objects
to and protests against your eouiieetlug
two lines of hose with uny one hydrant , In
making your proposed test of water pres
sure , under the said company's contract
with the city of Council HlurCs , la. , and also
objects to and protests agalmit your usdng
In making said proposed test any line of
lioso greater than llfty itiO ) feet In length
nl each hydrant during said test , and will
refuse to turn on the pressure for said pur
pose.
The council committee heeded not the no-
lice and went on with the test. Aldermen
Pace , Casper , Graham and Shubert and City
Engineer Tostevln represented the city ,
while a citizens' committee composed of
Thomas Officer , Chris Straub , Leonard Ev-
erell and T. J. Evans Joined In making a
record of Hie tests. The committees went
to the roof of the Grand hotel , where they
had good opportunity to watch the work.
With four streams on the flag on the hotel
anelevation , of 100 feet was easily reached ,
but when six streams were used the water
fell short of the mark. The report of the
observations of the two committees Is as
follows :
Citizens committee : Two streams on
Pearl street fifty feel ; stream on Main
street , where East mini nozzle was used ,
ninety to 100 feet ; Main street and First
avenue , eighty to eighty-live feet ; two
streams on First avenue nenr Grand hotel ,
sixty feet , and but fifty feet of hose used
for each stream.
Council committee : Two streams on
Pearl street , from ono hydrant , average
fifty feet ; stream on Main street , where
Eastman nozzle- was used , single hydrant
100 feet ; stronm on Main street and First
avenue , single hydrant , eighty feet : two
streams from one hydrant on First avenue
at Grand hotel average seventy feet.
An alarm of fire was turned In from box
31 , but the pressure was not increased , the
water works people having satisfied them
selves that the alarm of fire was for the
purpose of getting additional pressure and
not for fire purposes. The manager of the
waler works asserts that according to the
terms of Ihe company's franchise the test
should be made with but one section of hose
attached to each hydrant , and Mr. Hart
offered to furnish the pressure on five min
utes' notice for any tesl under such condi
tions , but the commltlee failed lo accept
his proposition. As a matter of fact , no
ono claims that the test has been an actual
ono In the respect of finding out what the
company can furnish by giving the addi
tional pressure called for In cases ot fire.
The company the council committee fall to
agree upon the terms of the test , and Ihr
company has refused to furnish the pres
sure which It Is supposed to bo ready and
"
able to supply in case of fire. Mr. Hart
says he stands ready to furnish the pres
sure at any tlmo the commlllec will sclecl
any six hydrants In the business section of
the city and attach a single section of hose lo
each hydrant. Mr. Casper and some of the
other members of the committee claim that In
case of a flro two streams would be attached
to one hydrant , and that the test should hi
made accordingly. That's where the council
and the company differ. Mr. Canper , chair
man of the committee , Is very much In favor
of taking the matter to the courts , and will
probably recommend such action In tin
council.

Union Pacific council of the Iloyal Ar
canum celebrated the nineteenth anniversary
of the foundation ot the order by giving a
banquet last night at the Mlllurd hotel.
The bamiuct also served the double purpose
ot celebrating the close ot a membership
contest , whereby the roster ot Union Pacific
council has been lengthened by the addi
tion of a largo number of now names. The
occasion was one ot those enjoyable affairs
for which this energetic council has bccomo
Justly celebrated , and the perfection of the
anangcmcnts reflected great credit upon
Iho elghl gentlemen who had the mailer In
charge.
The guests assembled In Ihe spacious par
lors of Iho hotel , where everybody was made
acquainted with everybody else , and the
perfect sociability which always marks the
functions given by this lodge was strongly
In evidence. The Sutorlus Mandolin or
chestra was slalloncd In the corridor , con
cealed behind n bank of beautiful palms ,
nnd the sofl strains of the sweet-tone In-
struinc-uts floated out upon the night air ,
lending an additional charm to the enjoy
ment of the guests.
When the guests had assembled they were
marshalled under the direction cif the com
mittee and marched Into the spacious ban
quet hall , to the Inspiring strains of n
martial air. The hall was elaborately dec
orated. The long tables were arranged In
tineo rows , extending the full length of the
room , with another table placed at right
angles acioss the end of the room. At the
latter table were seated the chairman ot
the evening and the speakers. All of the
tables wore handsomely decorated with cut
flowers and potted plants , forming u beauti
ful setting for the bright and becoming
gowns of the women. About 200 guests
were seated at the tables , and the slghl was
an enchanting one of brilliant color and ani
mation.
A most delicious menu had been provided
for the delectation ot the assembled com
pany , and It was served In a manner which
left nothing to bo desired.
After the cofTeo , Toastmastcr A. K. Hutch
Inson rapped the assembly to order and re
minded the guests that they were assembled
upon the nlncteonlh annivcrsaiy of the
foundation of the Iloyal Arcanum , which
he said , was established In Hoston , Mass. ,
nineteen years ago. with a membership of
nine , but which had since grown until Its
membership now numbered IHR.OOO. He
called upon llev. T. J. Mackny , n member
ot the order , to respond to the toast "The
Iloynl Arcanum as an Educational Factor. "
IWOADENS MEN'S VIEWS.
Mr. Mackay's talk was brief and witty ,
Interspersed with amusing anccdoles which
illustrated n point in n telling manner. He
referred to the moral Influence of the
Arcanum In bringing Its members In con
tact with one another in such a way RS to
broaden tholr views and educate them In
the study of men. He compared Us social
influence with the general tendency of old
line insurance towards selfishness , nn-l r.aid
the fraternal Insurance societies were taking
the wind out of Iho sails of the churches.
He suggested that It would be necessary for
the churches to institute a plan for Insuring
its members In the next world , as well ns
In this , It they desired to keen pace with
the sock-tics. Mr. Mackay referred briefly
to the benefit of fraternal insurance as a
means of providing for the widows and
orphans , and ulso to the fraternal features
which extended aid and comfort In time of
distress.
Toastmaster Hutehlnson then road a letter
from E. C. Stiyder. a member of the council ,
who soul his regrets at his Inability to bo
present , accompanying the latter with a
shorl discussion of Ihe benefits of fraternal
Insurance and of the particular advantages
offered by the Iloyal Arcanum.
J. W. Maynard wus the nxtiKr > oaker , his
text being "Tho Iloneflcial Features of Our
Order. " He spoke in an entertaining strain
ot the practical benefits of Insurance and
the advantages of the fraternal features of
the Arcanum , concluding his talk with a
humorous poem , extolling the virtues of
Nebraska , which was greeted with great
applause.
P. II. Galncs was next called upon to
speak to the topic , "Our Wives and Sweet
hearts. " His talk was a well worded trib
ute to woman and the relation of the
Iloyal Arcanum to the sweetheart wives
of the members.
The last speaker was Dean C. H. Gardner ,
whoso topic was "Tho Fraternal Features
of Our Order. " The dean's address was
short and pithy. Ho said that fraternity ,
as exemplified by the fraternal Insurance
societies , was an eternal protest against the
Innate.1 selfishness of humanity. No belter
example of fraternity existed , according to
the speaker , than that of the Hoyal Ar
canum , to which ho paid a high tribute.
This concluded the program and Toastmaster -
master Hutehlnson dismissed the guests
\vlth a neat speech.
The committee having the banquet In
charge and to v.hleh the success of the
cntcitalnnicnt was due coin'irleed the fol

state convention at Waco on August 2.1 to
nominate a full stnto tlekel from governor
lo n. They selected a full list of delegates
to Chicago and aUo selected presidential
doctors. The pint form adopted was strongly
laudatory ot Cleveland and Carlisle.
The IlimnclHl plank demands that the
present gold standard be maintained. The
coinage and circulation ot silver Is favored
In such amounts us can bo kept at a parity
with gold. The free and unlimited coinage
of silver Is oppo cd as n "measure borrowed
from populists and fraught with dishonor
and disgrace to the nation and destruction
to the people. " U Is further donmnded thai
the novormucnl should retire from the bunk
ing business and thai Its outstanding treas
ury notes be retired and cancelled.
The various delegates wore selected ns

The silver men In tholr convention spent
the entire day In 'arranging an organization.
There Is no particular light In this conven
tion , save In the matter of a few delegates
to the Chicago convention , wherein some- are
trying to down Congressman Hatloy , who Is
very desirous to gct on the delegation.
Tonight a big wrangle occurred over the
adoption of the platform. There were two
reports from the committee on platform
and resolutions. The majority report
favored silver ut the ratio of
in to 1 , and the mlnoilty , presented
by Jonathan Lane , favored an endorsement
of Cleveland and Carlisle and n gold stand
ard. Governor Hogg presented a substitute
to the majority report favoring the trie
and unlimited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 1G to 1. Irrespective of the action of for
eign governments. This raised considerable
discussion , which was still In progress nl

gations are being contested by them , but
tholr objection was withoul avail , and the
gold men proceeded to select tholr national
delegates. The silver men selected tholr
men and will contest. As the convention
will bo free silver by a largo majority , the
silver delegates will probably bo seated.

have hnd largo experience In the cure of
young children In cities as well OH In
towns emphasize the fact that babies
brought up on lactated food cscnpo wasting
diseases , cholera Infnntum and diarrhea In
a most unmistakable manner.
Kvcry child , however luckily born , must
run the gauntlet of those summer dis
orders. The fearful Infant mortality dur
ing hot weather has compelled medical
men to make extraordinary efforts to flml
the reason. It Is today an absolutely as
certained fiict that none of these Intestinal
disorders can be explained by hut weather
alone. High temperature simply weakens
the Infant digestion and makes It easy for
Improper feeding to bring on cholera In-
fantum , convulsions and colic.
Above Is a picture of the hcppy hnby boy
of Mrs. Leigh Putney of Appleton , WlH. .
who wrltca :
"Inclobcd you will find a picture of our
baby. Truman , who owes Ills present per
fect health. If not his life , to Inclatcd food.
"Wo fed him on milk until he was about
5 months old. At that time he suffered a
severe attack of cholera Infaiitum. He
did not seem to rally from this , hut grow
thinner and weaker until he was nearly
10 months old. There were days at a tlmo
when lie could retain nothing on his stomach
ach , nothing more than a little hot water
or arrow-root tea. and even a teaspoonful of
milk would brim ? on his bowel trouble.
We tried everything In the line of foods
that was HUggcBtcd , but nothing seemed
to be right , and lie grow MJ weak and c-na-
ciated that it was dilllcult to dress mid
handle him.
"At last on my own responsibility I deter
mined to try lactatcd food. Ho began
at once to Improve. He has never been
sick since then , and we can almost see him
grow fat. He has Just accomplished the
feat of cutting eight teeth all at once and
has not been sick or kept us awake a
single night. "
Lactatcd food has saved the lives of thou
sands of infants during the hot , dangerous
months of summer.
Lactated food Is the best diet for June.
Cholera Infantum often terminal Insldo
a few hours , and no household with llttlo
children in It should feel safe during these
summer cloys and nights unless using lactated
tatod food.
Lactatcd food pleases the Infant taste
and Induces the child to cut heartily.
