Not Many in School
A canvass OF the factory district of Des
Notnes has been made with a view 10 ascer-
tain the extent to which the children Of
school age are abstaining from school at
tendance and the necessity for applying the
provisions of the compulsory attendance
law. In a certain district where over 500
children OF school age we're found by the
school census enumerators more than 260
were found to DO not attending school at
this time. A truant officer has been APP
pointed and has gone to work. The persons
In charge Of the factories refuse to assist
the truant officer in any way and 1t is
found that the application Of the law will
be very hard.
Found Dead I'm His House.
The body of William spauldlng was found
in a house he had just purchased in East
Des Moints this morning, he having died
during the night. Mr.. Spaulding was about
20 years OF age. He came to this city sew
eral weeks ago from a farm south of In
dianola, which he had sold, and intended
to make a home here. He had paid $500
toward the purchase OF the place from Mrs.
Ed Slope. He had put some pillows and
quilts in a west room and lay there last
night.
Appealed Receivership Case.
DR.. G.. E. spinney of Omaha, leader of
the faction OF the shareholders who sought
to throw the Home Savings and Trust COM
pany into voluntary liquidation and thus
secure the appointment of a trustee In ac-
cordance with chapter Xix, acts Of the
twenty-eighth general assembly. executed a
neat coup on the recelvership forces this
morning by filing a supersedess bond and
taking an appeal from the recent decision
by Judge McVey in which the latter de-
clared the law unconstitutional, invalid and
the appointment OF w. II. Bremner trustee
Illegal for the same reason. AS the matter
now stands the lower court is powerless to
appoint a receiver until after the supreme
court has finally decided the constitutional
ity OF the law referred to. The whole mat
ter has been deferred until an appeal bond
is filed.
