Sendir His Chi DIR. IL to School.
In the police court to-day Dennis Healey
was charged with neglecting and refusing
to send his children to school. Joseph X.
Judson, agent of the state board of educa-
ton, testified that he had received COM
plants regarding Healey from the Hope
Vile school district committee, who
claimed that James Healey, a boy of ten
years, had only been to school eight and
one half days since January %, and girl
aged eight, only four days. He visited the
house and found that the children were fairly
well clothed. Another girl of II has also
been absent from school frequently. John
B. Osborne one of the HOpeVille school
committee, said that he had warned Healey
and had met one of the boys whom he
told 90 to school. The boy acted inso-
lently. H. B. Bassett testified to the
above facts, as he was present with Mr.
Osborne Healey himself said that his
children had no suitable clothes. He had
been sick all last winter, bu twas now work
ing at Holmes Booth & Haydens. When
his children did go to school the other
children laughed at them because they
were not well dressed. Healey's case was
adjourned for thirty days.
John Cleary said he was a painter and
only arrived in town last night. He was
arrested near the night cafe. He tried to
get off free, but was given s. without
costs. This made him inSolent and he
shouted out: Only men now are demo-
Gratis His sentence was then changed to
81 and costs with warning that if he should
say any more he would get a severe SEN
tence. He shouted again: Il may say
more" His sentence was then changed to
thirty days in Jail. 1t was discovered then
that the man was still drunk and his SEN
tence was changed to 81 and costs.

f. j. Brown Withdraws Because, the
Usual Custom Was Not Followed. i
The democratic town committee met last
night, Committeeman Russell of the
second ward presiding in the absence of
Chairman Manville. F. J. Brown and D.
E. Fitzpatrick appeared before the COM
mittee to be heard in. regard to the pro!
posed primary election.
There was general discussion and Mr.
Brown said that if the committee followed
the precedent of the past twenty years in
making nominations he would enter the
primary contest. This precedent, he ex-
planned, was that the primary delegates
should be elected to convention which
would nominate a candidate. The very
nature of the word primary" he pointed
out, was prior preparation for final re-
suit. Hr considered that the course so
long followed would be just to all.
Mr. Fitzpatrick said that this was en-
tirely unnecessary and that direct cleo
ton would prevent possible complications.
The members of the committee, with the
exception of Mr. Dugan, favored a direct
nomination, and Mr. Brown announced that
inasmuch as the custom of the last twenty
years was not followed he would withdraw
from the primary contest.
Messrs Mailman, Russell and Collins of
the committee contended that inasmuch as
there is only one Office to be filed a con-
vention is unnecessary. 1t was also argued
as a reason for having direct vote that it
would be manifestly unfair to give the
democrats of the first and second wards
equal representation with the third and
fourth, where they are outnumbered two
to one.
1t was voted that primary be held on
Z 4.
nee for the office of postmaster also that
the voting places in the different wards be
named later; also that all ballots should be
uniform in size and alike in other re-
spects, bearing only the name of the can
didate to be voted for; that the polls be
open from to p. m, and that aspirants
for the Office must appear before the dem
ocratic town committee Saturday evening
at o'clock in order that an equal repre-,
sentation at the polls as to moderator
checker, etc, may be arranged.

At her side stood an older child who

Along the watershed of Northern Iowa

A Gross Act OF Cruelty.

Why should we be cruel to ourselves? 1t
is a piece Of senseless inhumanity, for in
stance, for any one of us to inf1ct upon his
bowels and stomach the convulsive, gripping.

people enamored of pills, powders and po-

only excepting up the agony perpetuating
the disturbance by this foolish course. Why
don't they take Hostetters Stomach Bitters
and get thoroughly and promptly set right?
This supreme laxative never gripes, never
produces violent effects of any sort Yet it
is very effective and brings about perma-

and kidney complaints. it is emnently serv-

LIGHTNING IN A SNOWSTORM.
A Freak of Nature Witnessed in COlum-

A Freak of Nature Witnessed in Colum-
bus-Churcf Spire Struck.
A remarkable freak of nature occurred
yesterday afternoon about o'clock. 1t
had been raining quite hard and suddenly
turned colder. In few minutes the rain
turned to snow, and it was not long until
a binding snow storm ragged. During the
height of the storm several streaks of
lightning shot athwart the heavens. fol-
lowed by several peals of thunder. Judge
Duncan and several attorneys were stand
ing at the High street windows of his
courtroom watching the scurrying fakes
of snow, the jury in the Bauer case be-
ing out, when the lightning struck the
tall spire of the German Lutheran church
across the street. The cross at the apex
of the spire is mounted by a lightning rod,
and the sparks of fire danced around the
point for several seconds.
What is more remarkable about the
freak is that within ten minutes the
clouds had disappeared and the setting
sun cast his refulgent rays over the SNOW
capped roofs with binding effect. 1t is
not very often that such freak of nature
occurs in this latitude-Ohio State Jour
