Aged Woman Missing.

winona, Mimi, Dec. q. - Diligent
search is being made for Mrs. Augusta
Schultz, who disappeared from her
home on East King street a short time
since. 1t was supposed she had gone
to the home of her son-in-law. Albert
Beck, at Utica, but this proves TO be
erroneous. AS she was seventy-one
years old, fears for her safety are en-
tcrtained. It is thought she may have
wandered into the country and have
been frozen to death.

Pulling Problem for Solution by
Chicago school Beard.
Chicago Dec. %. Movable school
buildings may be the expedient hit
upon by the board of education in solv-
ing the problem of adapting school ac-
commodations to the fluctuations in
population in various parts of the city.
Supt Cooley. in his forthcoming annual
report TO the board, will recommend
that it adopt a policy Of erecting no
now schools in localities in which the
demand for accommodations has not
become fixed and which the school pop
ulation has become Indefinite. In other
cities experiments have been made
with small frame structures which are
movable. They contain from two to
eight rooms, and can be removed to
other cities as the population Huctu-

BLEW OUT THE GAS.
Two North Dakotans Found Dead in
"A Chicago Hotel.


Chicago. Dec. 22.-John F. Weber and
Stephen IIinsterger, two farmers from
Valley City, n. D., were found dead
from gas poisoning in a room of the
st. James hotel yesterday. The bodies
of the men lay sioe by side, and two
gas jets in the room were turned on.
II is supposed that they were unfa-
miliar with the use of gas, and that
they blew out the Jets. From papers
found upon the men it was gathered
that they were on their way to Mile
way, Ont5 from Valley City. Little
was known about them at the hotel.
They came there Thursday afternoon,
engaged and paid for a room, and re-
tired early. The police believe that one
of the victims. ignorant as to the use
of illuminating gas, blew 1t out before
retiring.

turing Moore.

Fifteen dollars is a poor reward for
the Massillon officers whose clever work
resulted in the arrest of Frank Moore,
the alleged horse thief and Jail breaker,
Wednesday night. says the Massillon
Independent. The amount will not cover
the expense incurred by Messrs. Budd
and Kitchen in making the capture and
is anyway disproportionate to the cx-
tent of the service rendered the county.
Inasmuch as rewards of several hun
dred dollars are usually offered for Jail
breakers and horse thieves the officers
were justified in expecting that the
county would at least secure them from
loss Their experience offers little in
centive to further effort outside the
line of immediate duty.
