THE M1TcHELLvILLE AFFAIR.

AS to the cause or where the blame
belongs for the unfortunate affair at
Mitchellville, there will be a variety OF
opinions The Herald has no ak to
grind. is responsible to no man or set
of men. has no one to punish or re-
ward. In the present crisis the inter-
ests of the state and the unfortunate
girls committed to its care should be
above the interests of any man, officer
or set of officers.
1t is the blacklist cloud on the state
institution management in the history
of the state and made more SO from
the fact that the offenders are only
lot of girls. The Herald trusts that the
people will not be too hasty in placing
the blame of the mismanagement on
Superintendent Miller He is recog-
nized as one of the best men in the
state. Judge Porter w. j. NOR and
others of Eldora who knew him when
he was publishing the Tribune in this
city, speak of him in the highest terms.
We have never heard his integrity or
reliability in the least questioned.
He was book-keeper in the Sol
diers' Home at Marshalltown and Oc-
tober /, less than a month ago. the
board of control placed him in charge
of the girls industrial school. If he
had special training for the arduous
duties of the responsible position, the
Herald has not been advised of the
fact. There are fifty book-keepers in
Hardin county and not one of them
perhaps is superior to Mr.. Miller in
that line. but each one, so far as spe-
cial training is concerned. is doubtless
as competent as he is to assume the
management OF the girls industrial
school.
The Herald is of the opinion that the
board of control. and particularly John
Cownie, is responsible for the condi-
ton that exists. When Mr.. Cownie in
substance stated to the girls that if
things did not go to suit them to re-
port to the board OF control and 1t
would see about the matter he sowed
the seed that brought forth this crop

Help, help. Murder!" We're cries
that startled the people at the inter

1t was from them the cries proceeded.
A large crowd quickly gathered, and
when the rooms We're reached Mrs.

i IT was learned that the cause of the
alarm was a violent demonstration by
her husband, who had come to the
house in a state of intoxication. threat
5ening to kill his wife and others of his
family. Before the crowd attracted by
their cries had reached the place Pur-
cell had made his escape by jumping
off the roof of a shed at the rear of the
building He had been drunk the
greater part of the day and earlier in
the afternoon had visited his home,
making threats and had torn his wife's
clothing and curtains that hung in a
doorway between two of the rooms.
One of the girls, about II years old,
with younger child in her arms.
jumped off the roof of the rear shed In
order to escape her fathers wrath and
one of the children was quite badly
hurt. Mrs Purcell was unconscious
for more than half an hour as the re-
suit of her fainting and has required
the services of a physician several
times since the event.
Purcell was taken by the police later
in the night and kept in the city JAN
until morning. when charge of drunk
and dlsorderly was made and he was
assessed S5.S5.
