ItuliliiNon (11 vi"i \niulicr of MrlUltiK IlliiKlriilliinx lit Illn Men * for tinllciicllt of Alt In Altciiilniiee. Yesterday was it busy day for the dele gates to the Interstate Sunday School In stitute of the Latter Day Saints church. The number of delegates was largely Increased , and much now Interest was taken In the proceedings by the people ( if the city. Tb . first session was held at 0 o'clock. It con sisted of general Sunday school review work. The discussion was led and the work Illus trated by J. F. Minium. Many new methods of Interesting and Instructing llio children wcro shown.V. . N. Robinson gave n num ber of striking Illustrations of his method of reviewing In a Rcnrral way for the benefit of the school the lessons that had been taught In the separate classes. The feature of this general review wns to show that II could be made In at least seven minutes tv.nl In such a manner that all of the classes In the school could comprehend It. The black board was freely used. The illustrations ere atcd a good deal of Interest , and drew out t general discussion that nearly all of the delegates took part In. At 10iO : ! T. A. Hougas acted as Instructor for the teacher's training class. He exem plified Trumbull's method of "Teaching Teachers. " The discussions that were brought out occupied the remainder of the forenoon. AFTKtlXOON WORK. The active work of the afternoon began at 2 o'clock , and an hour was devoted to ana lyzing the visiting committee. At 3 o'clock a general discussion took place , with T. A. Hougas as the leader , upon the subject ol the selection of teachers and the qualifica tions to teach. The problem of who should select the teachers came up for considera tion , many of the delegates appearing to feel that It was placing too much responsibility upon the superintendent of the Sunday school to bo obliged to select the teachers for all of the classes. "Who Should Work1 In Sun day Schools ? " wns also a fruitful theme. At I o'clock the most Interesting feature of the afternoon session occurred. It was the blackboard work led by Joseph Roberts He Illustrated what might be termed the kindergarten method of teaching scripture to the child. While showing that the mind of the child can be reached and a thorough understanding of the subject beat Insured by proper Illustrations , his blackboard work wan so strong that he held the attention of the old teachers present and Imparted many new Ideas. The evening session was devoted to the reading of a paper Illustrating the system atic and unsystematic methods of teach ing. The blackboard again played an Im- p-.rtant pnrt , giving the delegates addi tional cause for approving the methods that taught by aid of eyes as well a * cara. Joseph Roberts was the artist. The concluding paper of the evening wrn an essay on the "Sunday School Newspaper , " by Charles Frey. CONCLUDING SESSIONS TODAY. The concluding session of the Institute will be held today.

The secret of the temperance meetings that have been held within the la.U few days wan disclosed In the meetings of the Council muffs Ministerial nflosclation yester day , when It WES admitted that It waa the purpose of the temperance people to use all available means to build up a sentiment op lioslng the posolblo adoption of a liberal amendment to Iowa's present prohibitory liquor laws , an amendment that will permit the manufacture of alcoholic liquors In the state. The temperance people , recognizing the existence of a strong Influence In all parts of thn nlato to secure such an amend ment.

Death Halo for Ilcn-inlicr. The death rate In Council Bluffs for De cember Is heavier than In any previous- month for two years. Up to last night City Clerk Philips had recorded thirty-three deaths , several more than the record. The laws of the State Hoard of Health requir ing undertakers and physicians to report at once every death coming under their pro fessional notice Is being pretty generally observed , but It is possible that some deaths have occurred that have not been reported. The Increase of the death rate for the month Is not due to any epidemic or the un usual prevalence of fdckncris , hut Is attri buted to the great number of very old people who have passed away. Deaths of extremely old people has been a remarkable feature In the mortuary reports of the city and county during the year. Death has been very busy among the old patriarchs and pioneers , and a score or more who had reached the vicinity of 90 years have been gathered to their fathers , and there are several In stances where IS'JC finishes the century of life far old citizens. Dlphtheretlc diseases , which threatened to become epidemic In the city thirty days ago , have been entirely stamped out. Not a case has been reported to the Health department for two weeks. No contagious diseases of any sort have been reported for ten days. This makra the paradox a little more remarkable , that while the health of thn city's people Is better than at any time during the year the death rate Is the hlghe.it.

No. 3 , the Chicago limited passenger train on the Northwestern railway , which reaches here at 2:45 : p. m. , came perilously near killing an unknown tramp yesterday. Tl'c ; train \vns approaching the Ilro.tdway depot , and when four blocks from the sta tion a tiump who had been stealing a ride uti the. trucks attempted to get off. As lu iulh'1 out his clothing caught In some way and he was dragged along the rail on Ihf- outside of the track. The train was going about trn miles an hour. The yells of thi. > tramp attracted the attention of the trainmen and people on the streets. He could not bo ac.cn from the coaches , but white-faced people pointing at the bounding object convinced the train crew that some thing was wrong. The air brakes quickly 'brought ' tin- train to a stop , but It would not him- been quick enough to have saved the tramp had It not been for the presence of mind of a man named Racer. Ho was -tending by the side of the track , and Just cs the tramp reached the point his head came Into contort with the earth and he was rolled up Into a ball and In an Instant more would have been crushed beneath the ivhi'dfi , but Racer seized him and dragged him out of danger. A comrade of the tramp crawled from another point of the train it Ills juncture and ran to the assistance if hid friend. He placed his arm around the injured tramp and they went up Avenue D. The tramp was staggering like a drunken man , but his friend got him away before the trainmen reached the point. The matter was reported to the police , ind a thorough search was made for the Injured man. bill without result. The anx iety of tl/c men to leave the train created i suspicion In the minds of the police that they might have a reason that would Justify the terrible risk they had taken to avoid being taken Into the railway station.

Ho at once notified the officers , and the remains were taken to an undertaking es tablishment and Identified as those of Mrs. Mary Qlinilan , a waitress at Howe's hotel. Considerable mystery surrounds the mur der. Mrs. Olinilnn came from Ilradford , 111. , six weclts BRO , and first entered the Bervlco of Doc Wolvcrton , a farmer , residing near Osccola , as a servant. Two weeks ago she came to Osccola , and was encaged as a waitress In Howe's hotel.

She left the hotel Saturday night , and her dead body was found twenty-four hours afterward. A warrant has been issued for Wolvorton's arrest , but he has disappeared. Mrs. Gllfll- lan did not get along peaceably with her husband and left him. It Is understood di vorce proceedings were pending. What mo tive there was for the murder cannot be Im agined.

( Special Tolc- grnm. ) Last night occurred the death of Mrs. Itobcrt Howard , who was thrown from a buggy while out riding with John Slick , n liveryman , while Mr. Howard was nt homo taking care of the children , supposing his wife was at church. She had gone for a buggy ride with Slick. The accident hap pened about 9 o'clock only a short distance from the Howard homo and parties who happened along soon after picked up the unconscious woman and carried her to her home. Drs. Mocnch and Glngsley were sent for Immediately and did all they could for Mrs. Howard , but she died In a few mo ments. An examination showed a deep wound at the base of the brain and she bled a great deal from the mouth and ears. There were no other marks on her. Sllek says they were out ? riding together when the team became frightened and ran away throwing them both out of the buggy , killing the woman , but hurting him only slightly. It was noticed that his clothes were somewhat torn. The doctor said the wound In Mrs. Howard's head had been caused by some sharp pointed instrument. Possibly one of the horses might have kicked her and made the bole with the cork of the shoe. Mrs. Howard leaves a husband and two small children. Many of the citizens of Madrid are not satisfied with Slick's story and expect startling developments at the coroner's Imiucst , which Is to be held this evening. Some things look suspicious to those who hove taken the pains to probe Into the case anil the verdict of the jury Is awaited with n great deal of Interest.
