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.

Internal Method Permitted Vnder
Late Order of Court.'
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. Pending deter
mination of the application Judge Green
wrote Attorney Stewart, counsel for the
Board of Education, that the board may
accept the certificate of any reputable phy
sician until further orders without being- in
contemut of court. ,
Kelly Admits Robberies.
William Hughes, alias William Earle, the
one-armed burglar, admitted yesterday'
that his right name Is Frank Kelly and
that his home is in DenVer, Colo., where
his mother still lives. He further admitted
that he recently finished serving a ,two
years' sentence In tha Jefferson City, Mo.,
penitentiary, having been" sent up from
Kansas City for burglary.
He admitted having robbed Fred Mur
phy's house Sunday afternoon 'and when
questioned as to what he had done with
the Jewelry he secured there, he said he
had "ditched" It In front of the new Car
negie library on Pearl street after Detec
tive Callahan had arrested him. Search
was made at Hie place named by Detec
tive Callahan yesterday afternoon and two
of tho stolen rings and a gold chain were
recovered. One gold ring and gold locket
are still missing and It Is supposed they
have been covered by the earth now being
hauled to grade tho library building
grounds. r
To Detective Mitchell of the Omaha po
lice Kelly admitted having pommltted three
robberies recently across the river and
told the officer where some stolen watches
and other Jewelry could be found. Kelly,

DES MOINES. 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.

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.

Many a bright and promising career hat
been blighted by injurious haults of folly
before me Hge of Knowledge and under
standing, and many have been cut short
by the unfortunate contracting of roms
poisonous special disease which, throuah
neglect or Improper treatment, has com
pletely undermined and shattered the
physical strength and mental . faculties.
No greater mistake can be made than to
consiaer lightly tne first evidence of the
introduction of any private disease into
your system or to negiect the nrst symp
toms of weakened mind and approach, of
nervous deblnty, caused by Improper or
unnatural habits, excesses, dissipation, etc
Such indifference and negleot of the first

Men! Why take such desperate chances?
The maiilicMHtlons of the lust symptoms
of any disease of weakness should be a
warning for you to take prompt steps to
safeguard your future life and happiness.
You should carefully avoid all uncertain,
experimental. dangerous or half-way
treatment, for upon the first treatment
depends whether you will be promptly re
stored to health agAln, with all taint of
he poisonous disease remo-ed from your
system, or whether your disease will ba
allowed to become chronio and subject you
to future recurrences of the disease, with
the various resulting complications, eto.
If we could but see ana treat ail men
when the first svmotoms show themselves
there would soon be little need of so-called
specialists In chro.ilo diseases, and there
