Messrs. Talbot and Phillips, to-day gave

ADOPT ANOTHER.
The Board of Education Reconsiders the
Text Book Question.

Directors Sinnet and Robbins stood
by their previous convictions on the
text book question at Saturday after
Moons meeting. but they were over
come by the members who were
anxious to make amends for their
former serious mistakes. Chairman
Robbins refused to tolerate any dis
cussion Of the ACCESSIBILITY Of re-
consideration, and was apparently
much vexed at the idea of the school
board standing before the public as
such an incapable and changeable
body. Although he did not so ex-
press himself, such were no doubt
his inner sentiments, which were
acquiesced in by Mr.. Sinnet. These
gentlemen would rather see any
thing go through than appear before
the public as not having been
Thoroughly convinced that they acted
for the best interests of the schools
when the book trust proposition was
accepted. DR.. Kinyon and Mrs.
Hamilton wanted a reconsideration
and Mrs. Norris, while assuring
Chairman Robbins that she hoped no
llfeeling would follow whatever way
she voted, she stood by Mrs. Hamil-
ton and DIR. Kinyon. The vote for
reconsideration stood 3 to ..
Chose Read s KeilogG's System.
The board selected Read & kel-
loggs system, the first ballot decid-
ing it, and resulting four to one.
Chairman Robbins took occasion to
explain himself for not countenanc-
ing action in the absence o: Mr.. Sim
net at Friday evenings meeting. He
condemned Read & Kell ,gg's repre-
sentative, z. S. Lobdell, for canvass
ing among the members to secure
their signatures TO call a meeting
without consulting him. He con-
sidered it rude and an injustice. 1t
was always customary to consult the
chairman, but Mr.. Lobdell had
adopted an undetermined manner by
not noticing him.

4 Touching Incident.

In his sermon at St. Joseph's
church yesterday morning, Rev.
Thomas Mackin paid feeling tribute
to Rev. A. Maguien, ID. d., presi-
dent of ST. Mary's Seminary at Balti-
more, who celebrated solemn high
mass. and from whom the pastor re-
ceived his priestly instructions 20
years ago. Rev. Mackin spoke of the
qualification he felt in meeting the
grand old gentlemen whose loving
cares he left 20 years back a young
and inexperienced man. The oppor-
tunity of being in his presence
brought forth feeling which he
could not express. Rev. Maguien
responded briefly, stating what a
pleasure it was to meet the dis
tinguished pastor-his student of
bygone years. A special musical
program was arranged for the occa-
son. Peters mass was sung by the
choir, which was strengthened by
the presence of several prominent
vocalists. Spencer Robinson sang
an offentoy, 1.-The Holy City" with
charming effect. Messrs. Cakes
Lindlev and Huot, of Davenport.
rendered an 30 Salutoris, and Oscar
Schmidt furnished flute solo.

DAMAGES being asked in the sum OF Slo0'VVo.
The article with respect to which complaint
is made, referred to the divorce OF Dr. anu
Mrs Hearne and their antecedents. Inc
present demand for damages is based on
the allegation that the matter pupnsneu
was equivalent to charge that Hearne
had been a party to or an accessory to the
murder of one A. ]. Stillwell former nus
band of Mrs. Hearne, at hannibal, Mo-, SIX
years ago.
Stillwell was a wealthy pork packer
whose mysterious murder has been SUD-
ject of continued inquiry by successive
Grand Juries of Hannibal. Mrs. StillweH
was married to Hearne within year after
wards and was divorced in August last IN
this county. Her subsequent remarrlage
to DR.. Hearne still further complicated this
remarkable case. Blunt, one of the parties
