A special meeting of the School Board was
held last evening and the following Directors
were in attendance Messrs. Dewitt, Hanna
Baugh, Dove, Higgins, Coughlin. COnners
Britt Sullivan, Breslin and KEEPER. The
president, Mr. Dewitt, announced that the
meeting had beon called to consider the
advisability Of increasing the corps of even
ing school teachers
Secretary Hanna read petition bearing
the signatures of thirty-six boys and young
men TO the following petition "The fol-
lowing persons have requested to have
school established for them" Attached to
the paper was a certificate from superintend
ent Cooper, stating that as the other schools
are quite full, the request should be granted. b"
report from the committee on evening
schools was also read and, after setting forth
the assignments of night school teachers it
stated that the committee also considered
the advisability Of establishing another even
ing school and, upon the recommendation of
Mr. Cooper, recommend that the Board es-
tablish another evening school to pen
Monday evening, Nov. 1st."
Mr. Higgins moved that the report be ac-
cepted and the Board proceed to the election
Of teacher.
Mr.. Dove wanted to know if the night
schools were so crowded as to make it neces-
sary to open another school and employ
another teacher.
superintendent Cooper, in reply, said the
petitioners were young men ranging from rs
to 21 years Of age and the young men school
now has 40 pupils.
Mr.. Dove said that if the reports were
correct, the evening schools are well attended
when they first open, but the attendance falls
off. He thought it would be better to wait

MADE TO ORDER.
That Seems to be the school Boards
Method

When the School Board elected its night
school teachers few weeks ago a young
man named John McGowan, who was one of
the corps last year, was knocked Off the list
No public announcement was made Of the
reason why the applicant did not get a
school, but it was pretty generally under
stood that the defeat was intended as a rep
rimand to the young mans father, the Dem
ocratic members of the School Board feeling
that the parent had not been as consistent a
Democrat as circumstances required. When
John MCGOWAN, Sr., heard of the action of
the Board he started out with blood in his
eye and openly commenced a canvass directed
to the defeat Of Frank Hanna next Spring.
The threats were treated with indifference
at FIRST, but Mr.. McGowans campaign in
creased in vigor each day and it soon became
evident that unless something heroic was
done, and the movement inaugurated set in
motion by the angered parent curbed.
Frank Hannas chances Of denomination as
School Director next Spring would be in bad
shape.

CHICAGO, Sept. 3.-W. A. Ward, Of
San Francisco, a passenger on the
Chicago and Northwestern train, which
arrived here to-day, the man who eloped
last summer with the wife of Millionaire
Bradbury of Los Angeles, leaped from

received from Wheatlands, Iowa, al
most at the same time the train pulled
into Chicago, which said that Wards

All of Wards effects, consisting ofsev.
eral expensive satchels, are in the hands
of the Pullman Company authorities.
The suicides name and residence was
learned from his ticket.
Another report is to the effect that
Ward was brought into the train at
Fremont, Neb., bya gentleman. Just
before the train started from Fremont
the other man placed Ward in the
state room and shutting the door be-
hind him leaped from the train. In
mediately after leaving the car the
stranger rushed to telegraph Office
and sent message to the police OF this
city requesting them to take his friend
in charge when the train arrived.

Lion Tanners Tragic Act.

CINCINNATI, O., Sept. 3.-William
Houstetter, lion tanner at the Zoologi-
cal Gardens, had trouble yesterday al
ternoon with pair of huge African
lions. Toward evening he had sub
dued them by repeatedly beating the
animals with heavy iron bar. he
then fed the lions, tigers and other ami.
mails and strolled down toward the en-
trance, still out of sorts. A few min
utes after feeding the animals Baus'
letter met his wife. When within two
feet of her he whipped out big re-
volver he invariably carried as pro.
lection against the wild animals, and
fred two shots. One entered his wife's
left lung and the other Haustet-
ter's head. Both fell and were quickly
surrounded by crowd of Zoo visitors.
Haustetter died instantly, and his wife
cannot live until morning. Haustetter
was 50 years old, and his wife 35. They
had two small children, and lived near
the Zoo entrance. The couple had
never quarreled, and the only cause Of
Haustetter's deed was the tit of anger
the fighting lions had aroused in him.
He was widely known as tanner and
keeper of wild beasts, the handling of
lions being his speciality. No one else
dared enter the cage occupied by the
pair of lions.

FRIDAY EVENING. SEPT. 8. 1897

A DIsREPUrABLE resident OF New
Orleans, who was pledged to support
MIR, Reed in the national republican
convention, was bribed by the promise OF
an Office, made by Mr.. Hanna and the
Presidents cousin. Mr.. Osborn, to break
that pledge and support Mr.. MoRin-
lev. That promise has now been fui-
filed, and he is naval officer at the port
of his city. Bribery and corruption
permeste the whole body Of the gov.
ernment, and the evil has grown to
such proportion that it is incursble. If
the people were IS patriotic as we're
those of the country in it's earlier and
better days they would be appalled, at
the present outlook, but they are not,
and they view the future with apathetio
and reckless unconcern. The people OF
the poor South, who haven't much to
lose, can certainly stand the coming
racket as we'll as those of the rich North.
