Word from Chicago this morning to
Mr. and Mrs. j. F. Atkinson from Mrs
y. w. Atkinson. formerly of this city
but now of Colorado Springs, Col, con-
tanned the intelligence that Chicago
specialist had diagnosed the case Of her
little daughter as being one of genuine
hydroph obia. and that she was consid-
cred in a very critical condition, altho
everything known to medical science In
|hydrophobia cases would be done to
save her life. Mrs. Atkinson and daugh-
ter Mabel, aged 4 years, passed thru the
city Sunday afternoon on the Colorado
special, en- route to Chicago to consult a
specialist. The child was bitten about
a week ago by little dog, and only SAT-
lurday began to show signs of any i'll
ness, the wound having entirely healed.
A veterinary surgeon who had exam
ned the canine after the child was Bit
ten was snapped at by the dog, and the
| flesh of his hand lacerated and he, too,
has gone to Chicago for treatment. Sew
eral other dogs and one or two horses
We're bitten by the same animal and all
have died, SO there is conclusive evil
dence that canine was suffering from
j the rabies.

Cedar Rapids, Ia, Aug. 6-The com

tonight by a large number of the Her
riott delegates, who abandoned their
man and went over to the Des MOines
candidate. They will bring to Cum
Minis an increase of ffty-six votes on

The detection of Herriott's men is
considered to practically settle the
nomination in faVOrS OF Cummlns- his
opponents conceded to him early In
the evening $50 votes on the first ballot.
while he claimed 791. The break to-
night. even by the admission Of his
opponents, gives him $50 on the second
ballot. while, according 70 ms own
statement he will have at least S4l on
the first ballot. and a total OF S59 on
the second. while but 81 votes are nee
essary to a choice.
Chairman Mcmillan of the steering
committee said tonight that he still

GAIN IN ATTENDANCE.
Supt. COoper's Report Shows an In
crease Over Other Years.

NAIeA0C CFC4 SL14Gl ears
The annual report of Superintendent F.
B. Cooper was submitted to the board.
Among other things it stated that the
number of pupils enrolled in the city
schools and the average attendance dur
ing the year show a decided gain over all
previous years. Owing to lack of means
for making the compulsory law effective.
many children in the district had little or
no benefit from the schools. For this
reason Mr.. Cooper thinks the discontin-
uance of the truant officer was a mistake.
and he recommended the establishment
of a truant school at some central point
in the city.
The objects to be aimed at in the pub
lie schools, Mr. Cooper thinks is to have
the child read inteliigently, to spell cor
rectly, to write legibly, to compute cor
rectly, to acquire material for thought
to think independently. to express him
self clearly and correctly, to know the
right, to esteem ii, and to do it.
The report recommends a beginning in
manual training in connection with the
school system, recommends parents clubs
and shows the growth of the High school
in ten years from fOrty-eight to $50 and
the graduates from none TO siXty-nine
In closing, Mr-=COOBer acknowledges the
obligations he is under to teachers, super
FiSOrs, principals and the board of educa-
ton for aid and sympathy during a very
trying year.
