Several residences In the Fourth ward were visited Monday r.lght by a lone bur glar, who evidently confined his operations to.. the ground floor at each house visited. and thereby overlooked considerable booty he might, have secured by venturing up stairs. Reports yesterday show that the burRlnr In question had a penchant for children's money boxes. At the residence of Page E. Morrison. 619 First avenue, the burglar effected an en trance by a dlnln groom window on the south side. Here he secured a child's bank containing a little over $5 and a pocketbook containing- a small sum In change, but overlooked a diamond ring and. gold watch and chsln which were Jn a drawer of he sldeljoajd, not to mention the table silver ware. At the residence of W. E. Iwis, 106 South Seventh street, the midnight prowler se cured another child's bank containing a small sum. By not going upstairs lie missed $125 which Mr. Lewis had 'on, the bureau In his bedroom. He effected an entrance Into the resi dence of E. C. Smith, 717 First avenue, by unlocking the dining room door at the side of the house, evidently with a skeleton key. Hera be arried off several bottles of wine nnd attempted to get Into the safe rh the library. The door of the safe was unlocked and the burglar evidently In trying to open It turned the combination and locked It. Everything In the safe was found Intact. Leaving First avenue the burglar wended hls-way to Willow avenue, where by means of a back window he effected an entrance Into the residence of Ttev. W. S. Barnes, pastor of the First Presbyterian church. Here he secured another child's bank con taining a small sum of money. Spots of tallow dropped about the rooms on the ground floor showed that the burgiar was provided with a candle. At none of the houses entered was the visit of the burglar discovered until yes terday morning. . CONSTRUCTING QT'ARTERMASTER'R .

BACKER, Purchasing Commissary. -A15-17-18-19M At the meeting of the Board of Educa tion last night it was decided on recom mendation of the committee on course of study to abandon the system of vertical penmanship which has been In vogue In the public schools of Council Bluffs for the last nine years and adopt the Bpen ccrlnn style with such modifications as may be deemed desirable. For the pres ent the change will apply only to the grades below the seventh,1 but In the course of time the vertical system will be elim inated entirely. It was figured that $113,800 would be suf ficient to run the schools for the ensuing year, as .igalr.st $145 000 levied for this year. The amounts needed In the different funds and which will be certified up to the county auditor were decided upon as follows: Teachers' fund, $76,01.0; contingent fund, WO.Oihj; school house fund, $8,800. The amounts named in the teachers' funct Is the same as this year, while that in the contingent fund Is Jfi.OuO less. The big saving is made In the school house fund, for which $35,000 was levied this yeur, $20, OOi) having been voted to be levied for the addition to the Avenue B school. Superintendent W. N. Clifford and Prin cipal F. C. Ensign of the High school were unanimously re-elected for another year. Acting on the recommendation of Attor ney Stewart, it was decided not to take any action nt present Jn the matter of an appeal from Judge Green's ruling in the vaccination injunction case owing to the application for a modification of the de cree being pending. On recommendation of the finance' com mittee it was decided to allow the four kindergarten volunteer teachers. Miss Shirley Moore, Miss Letha Butler, Miss Blanche Patterson and Miss Olive English, each $76 in full pay for their services to the cnl of the school year, the board to be under no obligation to retain them at the expiration of that time. Miss Blanch Noel, a substitute teacher who had been filling Miss Van Order's psace In the High school, was elected to fill the vacancy in the High school faculty caused by Miss Van Order's death, her salary being fixed at $75. Resolutions ex pressive of regret at the death of Miss Van Order and of sympathy with the family were adopted. The resignation of Miss Maude Wood ward, teacher in the Washington avenue school, was accepted and Miss Harriett Knlskern was elected to nil the vacancy at a salary of $60. In connection with the appointment of Miss Knlskern, Member Tlnley stated ho desired to go on record that it would be the last time he would vote to appoint any teacher from oat of the city. Mrs. Ingnlls, superintendent of drawing, was granted a leave of absence for two weeks In order that she might attend the convention of drawing teachers in Chl-c:-o. It was decided to dispense with the ser vices of Rev. Henry De Long as truant officer, who had been receiving a salary of $10 a month. The board expressed the opinion that the results did not JuBtlfy the 'expense. t Two requests to be permitted to take irroup photographs of all the classes In the school were referred to the committee on rules. BAI.IW1 MAKES PI.K. FOR 1JOYI.E Scores Barns nnd Also lilves Ills At torney n Rnp. The largest audience since the trial of the suit commenced and one which packed the court room to the doors and extended far Into the hall, waa present yesterday to hear the closing argument of John N. Baldwin for the plaintiff In the Doyle Burns case. Mr. Baldwin was In splendid form arid made an Impassioned plea for his client and was decidedly cnustlc In his arraignment of the defendant and his wit nesses. Neither did he spare the opposing attorneys, severely criticising Governor Thomas and Congressman Smith for al leged misrepresentation of the testimony on Important matters. The testimony of Burns, In which he stated he advised Doyle that O'Halre was going to sue him and that he had better put his stock In the liafne of somebody else, was read to the Jury and commented on In strong terms. Burns' sworn answer In the same milt waa then read, In which he denied that Doyle bad any Intention of transferring his stock to defeat O'Halre, or for any other purpose, was read, and the defendant then received the severest scoring of the day, It being charged that In that answer Burna committed willful perjury. Mr. Baldwin stated that Burns' counsel had In a half-hearted way en deavored to. apologlre for the ndvlce to transfer the stock, but that neither of them had the hardihood to even refer to or ex tenuate the false affidavit. Answering the contention that Doyle was secretary of teh company, and for that reason fully understood everything that was going on and had as much to do with the business transactions as Burns, atten tion was called to the fact that In only two Instances, out of many score, were the minutes of meetings of the Portland com pany signed by Doyle as secretary, and In this connection a letter from Burns to Doyle was read In which Burns said that Doyle was receiving $800 a month or act ing as secretary when he was really doing nothing, "myself, Mr. Blschof and Frank G. Peck doing your work." In connection with his presentation of the case, Mr. Baldwin used for the edification of the Jury a number of statements written on large sheets of paper, and which were exposed to the gaxe of the Jury'. These comprised classified statements1 of the dif ferent contentions of the plaintiff, lists of the witnesses by whom the points were substantiated, etc. This Is a new feature In trials here. One of the statements showed that during the year 1892, Burns had worked on the claims 13EV4 days, and Doyle 1.12. This waa In direct opposition to the figures of Congressman Smith, who had claimed the day before that Burns had done twice as much work as Doyle. It showed further that from December 28, 191, to the end of August. 1892. Burns and Doyle worked slda by side, day by day. When one worked, so did the other. When cno did not work, neither did the other. Mr. Baldwin Is not expected to flnlsta before this afternoon. CENSUS ABOUT COMPLETED Few of the Larger Citiei Are Slow in Com pleting the Work.

Until further orders teachers and pupils who have been vaccinated by the internal method win not be debarred from the city school provided they present a certificate signed by a reputable physician. These Instructions were received yesterday from Judge Green, who baa under advisement an application on behalf of the Board of Education for a modification of his recent decree' in the vaccination injunction suit. On behalf of tho Board of Education It Is asked that the Board of Health be required to accept all certificates of vaccination ,from any physician of repute and stajiding without discrimination as to the method of vaccination. The decree modified, as asked, was sent to Attorney I'usey, repre senting the Board of Health, yesterday by Judge Green for his consideration and If the Bourd of Health raises no objection Judge Green will sign It.

April 18.-(8peclal.)-The returns of the census for the entire state will be In the hands of the secretary of the executive council within another two weeks with the .exception of a few cities. Secre tary A. H. Davison of the council sent a letter to each of the auditors Inquiring as to the progress of the work and the Information is that they are two-thirds to three-fourths through, but that tho greater part of the remainder of the work will be completed In about two weeks. The as sessors of Sioux City have taken the, as sessment first and are In consequence be hind on the census. At Denlson, for some reason or other, there Is a delay and the figures will not be In till later. Informa tion from the auditors is to the effect that while the cities show a gain in popula tion the rural districts are only holding their own. IVew Ranks Chartered. The rapidity with which the private banks of the state are incorporating under the state law is surprising the officials of the state auditor's office and there Is a prospect that there will be no need of a state law such as the Bankers' associa tion proposes. There were two former private banks chartered today and there Is scarcely a week when there are not several. Charter have been issued to the Farmers Savings bank of Rhodes with a capital of $15,000, of which S. T. Goodman Is president; and to the Epworth 8avlngs bank of Epworth, with a capital of $10,000, both of which were private banks. A char ter has also been issued to the Farmers Savings bank of Keystone, with a capital of $15,000, with Henry J. Meyer as pres ident. Juvenile Law Lame. Judge Hugh Brennan of the district court today discovered a defect in the Juvenile court law which makes it Impos sible to punish a boy or girl who is be tween the ages of 16 and 17 years. The law provides that no child over 16 years of age can be sent to a reform school and the Juvenilu court law provides that no child under 17 can be sent to the state penitentiary or a county Jail. Eddie .ius pleaded guilty to stealing some brass and on account of his age tho court could do nothing but turn him over to the cus tody of his mother, which was done. Pfthlana to Davenport. At the meeting of the executive com mittee of the Knights of Tythlns today fat the Elliott hotel it was decided to hold the grand lodge In Davenport in August.

MITCHELL ASKS JURY TRIAL Senator's Contention that Ills Plea of Abatement Should Not De Consid ered by Court Overruled. PORTLAND, Ore., April IR.-In the L'nlted States district court today United States Senator Mitchell, through his at torney, Mr. Bennett, endeavored to sustain the regularity of the proceedings relating to the Introduction of his plea lit abate ment in connection with his indictment wth the land fraud cases. Bennett con tended for tho right to file the plea in abatement In the federal court and argued that If it raises a question of fact the de fendant Is entitled to a trial thereof by Jury; that If it does not raise a question of fact, then the issues must be decided by tho courts. Judge Bellinger indicated by frequent in terruptions that a plea In abatement is merely a permit to challenge the grand Jury, where there, has been no other oppor tunity, and said tho question becomes of added Importance by reason of the fact that the case could never be tried on 1U merits If separate pleas In abatement are to be given a Jury tiUl. The argument proceeded upon the merits of tho plea in abatement, Judge Bellinger having made a temporary ruling that for the purpose of argument affidavits of United States Dis trict Attorney Heney and Juror Oulston need not be considered as having been filed. Before the arguments commenced today Ira Wade, Indicted for complicity in the Slletz Indian reservation with W. N. Jones and others, pleaded not guilty to the con spiracy charge, and Dr. W. H. Davis, mayor of Albany, filed a demurrer to the Indictment against him.
