One of the many women in Topeka
interested in charitable and social puri-
tv work is Mrs NJ. f. Goodwin of East
Fifth street. She talked to a Journal re-
porter today on the subject Of the de
serted wives and said.
II think there are three things which
cause more separations than all others
combined. The first is the lack Of work,
second. unwilling motherhood. and third,

WANT MORE SCHOOLS.
Petition to be Presented to the
Common Council Next
Week.

Fond du Lac Wis, Feb. 15.-[Spe-
cial. More and better schools is the cry
that is heard from the citizens i'll every
part of this city, and if the common
council is composed of real educational
members the cry will be needed and
in the near future this city will equal
any city in the state for good school
facilities. An examination of the
superintendent last report discloses
the fact that the various schools
have total enrolment of 1915 pu-
pills and teaching force of 81,
including the special and kindergarten
teachers. If the school buildings were
centrally located there would be. thirty
six rooms needed instead of ffty-two
as at present. This would make a say
ing of at least $1,000 a year for janitor's
services, heating and apparatus. The
saving of the wages of nine teachers at
$3.50 per annum would amount to $1,000
a year, making a total saving of over
$1,000 each school year. With an idea
. of ascertaining what other cities have
done in the way of school reform the
members of the local school board have
made inquiries of the school boards in
various cities, and the tabulated state
ment shows that this city has more
schoolhouses, more schoolroOms and
more teachers for the same number of
pupils than any city in the state.
At the next council meeting the matter
of obtaining loan from the state will be
brought before the members. A petition
was circulated throughout the city the
other day asking that better schoolhouses
be built, and the names of 1900 women
were obtained, and the paper will be
presented to the council Monday evening
with resolution from the school board
asking that money be borrowed from the
state with which to erect suitable school
houses.
T. G. Kinder. manager of the Marble
Head stone quarries near here and also a

His friends are quite anxious as to his
whereabouts and inquiries have been
sent around to different towns where he
gone to Chicago on business and will
return in a day or so. Wednesday the

Zinke Mercantile company of this city.
Mr.. Kinder has been manager Of the

was stated that progress in the passage
of the Fox river bill, for the placing of

had been sent to Washington to urge the

bill, it being based on a principle of stor-

often expressed himself and Congress-
men Cook and Miner are both very much
in favor of the measure and are working
in its behalf. For these reasons, Mr..

Milwaukee, Wis, Feb. 17.-Frederick
II. Day is acquitted of the charge of re-
ceiving deposits as president of the
Plankinton bank when he knew the in
stitution was insolvent. After a session
of more than thirty hours the jury that
had listened to testimony and argument
for and against Mr.. Day for the last
Ave weeks, at $50 o'clock yesterday aft
eraoon returned verdict of not guilty.
This verdict, as was later learned from
the jurymen, was the result of the con-
casssion finally reached by the jury that
the bank was not insolvent on May 16,
1893, the date of the deposit on which
the prosecution rested it's case.
History of the Case.
f. II. Day was the president of the
Plankinton bank at the time it went
down in 1893, running hundreds of peo-
pie. The crash was precipitated by bad
loans, which had been made by the bank
under his management. A terribly bitter

Coroner's Verdict in the Case of the Man
Found Near SUPERIOR.

Found Near superior.
West Superior, Wis, Feb. 15.-[Spe-
cial THE coroner's jury in the case of
the man found dead in the woods last
Thursday rendered a verdict this morn
ing to the effect that the unknown came
to his death by bullet discharged from
a gun in the hands of an unknown per-
son. A post norton examination of the
body made by DR.. J. G. Adams developed
the fact that the man had met his death
through the agency of a bullet which
struck him back of the ear and lodged
in the brain, and the verdict of the jury
was founded on the evidence to that
effect. A sign of the Masonic order
tattooed on the dead mans arm was dis
closed, indicating that the deceased has
probably been member of that order.
The most probable supposition that is
now INDUCED in is that the body is that
of man named MCCLELLAN whom the
police have long believed to have been
murdered by Henry Lamont now con-
fined in the county Jail awaiting trial on
