DIES MONIES, June 15.-(Special To
morrow the vacation schools Of Des Moines
will reopen. This is one of the semi
charitable institutions OF which Des Molnes
people are proud. The vacation school sys-
tenn was organized some years ago for the
purpose of giving to the poor children liv-
ing in the downtown district of the city
something to do during the summer months
and as a way to reach a large class of
persons who might not be reached in any
other way. Last year the enrolment at
the vacation schools reached 1875. and this
year it is almost certain the enrolment
will be double that amount. A term OF
six weeks is given and the school is open
but half a day. Formerly the teachers
volunteered for the work, but this year a
systematic effort was made to secure funds,
and as a result $500 was secured. which
will be used in paying the teachers a small
salary. There will be six regular teachers
and Ave substitutes. The school will be
in the Lincoln school building, one OF the
best in the city and located near the fac
tory district and the railroads. The pupils
are taught under the Froebel plan and are
taken on trips to the country for observs-
tion and instruction. They are taught sim
pie studies and given the rudiments Of an
education, but the schools is more par
ticularly to enlarge the powers OF observa-
ton. The West Des Moines school board
donated the use of the school building and
gave 800 to the movement, but otherwise
the school is under the auspices of a COM
pany Of philanthropic persons banded to-
gether especially for that purpose.
Fatal Des MOines ARRAY.
Albert Hefey was stabbed by Robert
Morris about midnight last night and died
today from the wounds. The ARRAY was
caused indirectly by a quarrel, in which
Hehey was not Interested. He lives near
Greenwood park in the western part OF the
city in a small house and his brother-in-
law, Samuel wellington, lives with him.
Wellington during the day and evening
was with a young woman who lives In VAL
ley Junction, and 1t appears that Morris
was Jealous Of Wellington. TIL two had q
quarrel in the park and Wellington after
ward went home with the girl. He had
not returned from Valley Junction at mid
night, when Morris and Charles Hughes
went to the Hefey home supposedly for
the purpose Of finding wellington. Morris
was seen in the yard By Hefey Just as the
latter was preparing to retire, and he
went out to order Morris away. A quarrel
followed, in which Morris struck Henley
several times with a large butcherknife
and inflicted the fatal wounds. Henley
made a dying statement, declaring that
Morris did the cutting. Hughes was found
afterward and he declared that Morris was
drunk at the time. Wellington returned
later and told OF his quarrel with Morris
in the park. Morris had been a cook In a
restaurant at Valley Junction, but is not
much known here. He was arrested in
Valley Junction this afternoon and placed
in taiI. and Hughes, who was with him, is
also detained in jail.
