Aged and FriendIess Woman Stricken
with ApOplexy and Not Found
for Hours.

WATERLOO, Ia, Nov. 25.-(special.)-
Doomed by the loss of her husband to sup
port herself, her hands her only capital,
after reaching the half century mark
through toll and poverty, to be called upon
to die forsaken and alone, tells the story
of the life of Mrs. S. Bradford, who wac
discovered almost dead in her lonely cot
tage in this city.
She had suffered a stroke Of apoplexy
and In this condition had lain on the floor
Of the cottage all night. The work Of the
day caused her to retire early every night
and by 9 o'clock no light was ever visible
In the house. The light burning after
daylight was what attracted passersby, who
entered the unlocked house and found her
in an unconscious condition.
Physicians were called and many who
had never thought to call upon her when
we'll fastened to make her comfortable, but
1t was too late and she expired without
regaining consciousness sufficiently to rec
ognize her benefactors. She was given a
respectable burial.

QUESTIONS TITLE OF CITY
Owners of Auditing Property Lay Claim Il
What Was Once Bed Of Big Lake.
CITY RELIES UPON GRANT BY coNeRES,
Contestants Assert That Congress Had
No Power to Make the Grant as
Title Was in Private
Parties.

The right and title OF the city Of Coun-
ell Bluffs to Big Lake and the land which
originally formed the bed of the lake are
to be attacked in the courts by owners
Of the adjoining property. The first Of the
suits attacking the city's title will be filed
In the district court today by George II.
Mayne and George S. Wright, Joint owners
of a considerable tract Of land adjoining
the lake. The piece of land is known as The
Island"
The action will be to quiet In the plain
tins, as against the city, the title to the
middle Of the lake on the grounds that
the owner Of the adjacent property owns
the bed Of an inland lake to the center
thereof. II successful in this action Mayne
and Wright will secure the title to a large
tract OF land between their property and
the lake which formerly formed part OF the
bed OF the lake and which the city now
claims ownership OF. In the event of Mayne
and Wright winning the suit. It is under
stood that the other owners Of property adj
jacent to the lake will bring similar ac-
lions.
The piece Of water known as the Big Lake
formerly was a part Of the bed OF the
Missouri river. 1t became an inland lake
wnen the river changed it's course. On
June D. 1880, an act Of congress granted to
the city OF Council Bluffs the title to the
meandered lake, known as the Big Lake
Tor public use, resort and recreation II
is from this act of congress that the city
lays claim to the lake and the land origin
ally forming the bed of the lake.
Since the city acquired the title to the
lake by act OF congress the piece OF water
has year by year become smaller until
TO-DAY there are nearly 100 acres OF dry
land, which originally formed the bed OF
the lake. Big Lake and the adjoining prom
erty is classed as one OF the city parks
and is under the control and management
OF the Board Of Park Commissioners. which
mas Tor several years maintained a watch
man to look after the property. part Of
which has been protected with a fence. The
value OF the land is p~roblematical.
Messrs. Wright and Mayne contend that
congress had no authority to give the citv
title to the lake, as in fact IL belonged
TO the owners Of the land adjoining it.
They Will also bring a separate action
10 restrain the city from collecting muni-
cipal taxes on their tract adjoining the
lake, and which is just inside the CITY
limits. on the grounds that It is held soIeIv
Ior agricultural purposes and receives no
Denent from the city administration They
VIII also sue to recover the amount paid
during the last five years as city taxes.
Big Lake Is a popular resort for SPORTS
men and for picnic parties In summer and
the result Of the suit to be brought nv
Mayne and Wright will be watched with
much interest.

ABOUT TEACHERS
superintendent Appealed to to Relax on
Examination aud Increase Supply.
STATE OFFICIAL OBJECTS TO THE PLAN
Says School Boards should Pay Wages
Sufficient to Keep Competent
People In the Ranks of
Teacher
(From a staff CORRESPONDENT. ,

DIES MONIES, Nov. 25.-(Special 1.-THE
problem of how to supply the schools of
Iowa with teachers who are competent has
already become as important as the other
problem of how to secure to the teachers
wages that will induce them to stay in the
profession a reasonable length of time. The
complaint is general in the state that there
are not enough teachers available to keep
the many schools going. County superiu-
tendents are importuned to invite teachers
from other counties or other states to ill
out the quota.-The fact is that the induce
ments are 30, slight that teachers are al
ways ready to get out and engage in other
labors more remunerative. Miss Elsie
Perry, county superintendent OF Howard
county, wrote the superintendent of public
instruction asking what her rights and
duties were in a case where there are not
enough teachers in the county certihcated
to teach, and the demand is that she issue
certificates to persons known to be incom-
petent in order that the schools may be
filled. The reply OF superintendent Barrett
applies as we'll to ell counties and is as fol-
lows:
We think the statute does not impose
upon the county superintendent the duty of
providing the required number of compe-
tent teachers. 1t is officially required of
him that he examine applicants at stated
times as 10 tnelr competency In and
ability to teach" statutory subjects, and
IF the examination is satisfactory and the
applicant is Of good moral character" a
certificate to that effect shall be issued. In
view of. this plain provision of law, we
think the county superintendent should
positively refuse to license the incompetent.
Teachers to Get Rates.
The State Teachers association has been
having trouble getting reduced rates from
the railroad companies under as favorable
terms as usual. At recent state meetings
the Western Passenger association has
granted the reduced rates on the certih-
cate plan on condition that holders of GER
tiicates pay the joint agent 25 cents for
signing each certificate. In other years the
association had paid the Joint agent
directly, paying him about SIT for two days
work. Under the plan proposed the teach
ers would pay him about $500 for two or
three days work. The committee In charge
objected to this. State superintendent Bar
rett and Superintendent Sheakley Of the
West Des Moines schools, went to Chicago
on Monday and interviewed the railroad
men, asking them to advance the time for
the sale of the regular holiday excursion
tickets so they could be bought on Deem
Der 80 as well as on the two or three follow
ing days. II this could be done there would
be no need Of special rates for the teachers
association, which begins In Des Moines the
31st Of December. Their conference was
successful. This will obvlate the necessity
Of having the certificate plan for the teach
ers.

The Udell-Samson Woodenware company
of st. Louis caused a restraining order to
be served on Trustee Muse yesterday
morning enjoining him from disposing
at public sale the stock of Whitelaw &
Gardiner, proprietors of the Boston Store.

advertised for yesterday morning, but
owing TO the action begun by the st. Louis

settlement will be reached by which the
stock can be disposed OF.
