NORMAL SCHOOL RECEPTION
Middle Glasses Entertain Faculty
and Other Students

The reception given last evening by
the middle A and B classes of the Nor
NAL school to the teachers and other
students was a success in every way
and the evening was greatly enjoyed by
quite four hundred young people. The
invitations were printed in rhyme on
common brown wrapping paper Tho
replies, which were in poetry, were on
view during the evening. The halls
were prettily decorated with palms, ger
aniums. smilax and holly berries, and
presented a charming appearance. Some
pretty choruses were sung by the stu
dents, the rendering of an extract from
"Pinafore" with variations, by four gen.
tlemen and ten ladies of middle A class,
deserving especial attention. The trans
formation of the large library into a
picture gallery in which were exhibited
photographs of all the teachers at diff
ferent periods of their lives was an in
teresting feature, and attracted con-
siderable attention. During the eve
ming imitation chicken salad, composed
of candy and wrapped in brown paper
with silhouettes of chickens in various
attitudes were served, partners being
found by matching chickens, and cake
walk followed the pairing of the couples.
The reception proper, which ended at 10
o'clock, was followed by a dance that
lasted until after eleven. The commit
tees were as follows: Reception, Miss
Casey; invitation, Miss Clara Smith; re-
freshment, Miss Nellie Langman;
amusement, Miss Mae Bosbyshell, Miss
e. Chase and Miss Mildred White; mu-
sic. Robert Neely. The reception COM
mittee ives composed of all the members
of the several committees. Miss Mary
Lewis and Miss Adele Morseman were
the committee for the arrangement of
the art gallery. The following teachers
assisted the students on the various
committees: Miss A. M. Laughlin, Miss
Agnes Crary, Miss Harriet Dunn, Miss
Mae English, Mrs. Juliet Rice, Miss
Lawson, Messrs. Van Lieu and Hierony-

The Evidence of Another
Victim Silenced
THE POLICE AND PUBLICITY
DETECTIVES HESITATE TO AID.
NIT THEIR IMPOTENCE
A Complaint Refused by the District
Attorneys Ofice-The Gangs
Way Is Clear

Poker Davis caught another sucker
last Wednesday and was enriched there
by $62.50. The sucker "hollered" but
police detectives the roar was muffied
and the facts did not reach the newspa-
per reporters until yesterday. The facts
then came from another source. This
suppression of the news Of another Of
Poker Davis swindling operations was
no doubt regarded by the detectives as
a model of discretion. Presumably, ac-
cording to the time-honored police creeds
had Poker Davis read once more of his
rascally transactions in the newspapers
he would have taken alarm and fled. Mr..
Davis has developed such a trepidattOn
at the sight Of certain officers that there
is great danger of soaring him away.
At last when the closely guarded Sc
cret did leak out, a Herald reporter tried
to get some of the facts concerning the
swindle. 1t had been stated that De-
tective Bradish had charge of the case. /.
He was seen and asked for the facts OF
the robbery. His replies, to say the
least, savored distinctly of evasion.
Bradish knew a sucker had been
caught. The man had come to him with
his tale of woe. About the only thing
that he knew besides this was that q
draft for $50 and $3.50 in cash had been
lost. He couldn't remember the suck
er's name, or the bank on which the
draft was made; he didn't know where
the unfortunate came from, where he
was stopping in this city or where he
could be found. He had heard the mans
story, told him to come round again and
get complaint and had then written
out his report for Secretary Moffatt.
Mr.. Moffatt was then visited. His at
titude was different from that Of Detec-
tive Bradish. He knew the name of the
sucker who had been buncoed, but re-.
fused to state what it was. He also de-
clared that the man had gone before q
member Of the district attorneys Office
and been refused complaint. When
asked which deputy district attorney
had been approached, Moffatt replied:
II will not say which member" This
was all the information that could be
obtained about the case from the offic-
ers, who have frequently announced
themselves as anxious to see an infam-
| Gus gang of confidence men run out Of
town by having them so thoroughly
published that they are known to every
one. a
Chief Glass was out Of the city and
could not be seen last night. Poker Da-
Wis continues to announce that his joint
at rooms 2 and 4, 4311s South Spring
street, are open for inspection or busi-
ness. 1.-The police know where to find
me-" he says, land let them come and
arrest me-"
Deputy District Attorney Joe Cham
hers was seen by Herald reporter last
night and admitted that another of Da-
Wis victims had asked him for COM
plant. Mr.. Chambers also allowed that
the complaint had been refused. alleging
| that the victim had no witnesses.

There is no public sentiment in

BLOW TO IOWA UNIVERSITY.

Library Building Struck by Lightning and
Destroyed. .r>'<:l.sg5.
Iowa CRY, Ia, June 21.-The library
building of the state university was
struck by lightning at 4 q. M, and de-
stroyed by fire. It was 2-story brick
structure, with the library on the Sec
ond floor, and the physical laboratory
on the first floor. The loss is 100000.
OF this $50, 900 was in books, $1,000 in
apparatus belonging to the physical
laboratory and $3S, 600 on the building.
The library was the best in the state.
Many Of the books are out of print
and cannot be replaced. The Talbot
collection of $500 volumes was about
two-thirds destroyed. This collection
was exceedingly valuable, many books
dating from the 10Th century. The dam
age to the physical laboratory resulted
largely from water. The firemen with
difficulty prevented the flames from
spreading to the dental building close
by. Fireman L. M. Leck was caught in
the building under falling roof and
burned to death.

ARBITRATION AGAIN.

President Mckinley Will Revive the
Abandoned Treaty.
WASHINGTON, June 2l.-President
Mckinley has determined to revive the
abandoned treaty of general arbitration
between the United States and Great
Britain. He has already turned his at
tention to the subject and under the d.
rection Of Secretary Sherman the matter
has progressed to the extent that new
treaty has already been drafted to serve
as the basis Of negotiations. The presi-
dent always has been all advocate of
the settlement of international disputes
by arbitration, and, though disappointed
in the reception accorded the original
treaty, he never has abandoned hope Of
being able to present the advantages of
arbitration to the senate in such light
as would make it acceptable to that
body. In the draft which is to be used
as the basis of negotiations there are
none of the Objectionable points which
caused the failure of the Olney treaty.
