C. R. RCICKHoFF INSANE
Prominent Orange City Banker and
Real Estate Broker Goes Sud-
denly Insane.

Adrian, Mimi, April 15.-Charles R..
Reickhoff of Reickhoff Bros, bankers
and money lenders of Orange City, Ia.
IS at the hotel in this city in dement,
I'd condition. The Reickhoffs are heav-
NY interested in lana in this county,
owning some thirty farms north of this
place. He returned couple of days
ago from Chicago, Where he attended
revival services. which seem to have
made a deep impression on him. He
was discovered in his room at Hotel
Slade Friday evening in serni-con-
scious state. When finally aroused 1t
vas discovered that his mind was de-
ranged DIR. II. A. Tomlinscn, superin-
.tendent of the asylum at st. Peter, ex-
tmined him last evening and pro-
bounced him insane. The patient
magines that he is Jesus Christ, and is
doomed to die for others.
Reickhoff escaped from his watchers
asst night, jumping through window,
carrying the sash with him, and took
northerly course toward the village of
Lismore. Teams We're at once started
n pursuit, but, as Reicl1hoff is an
athlete, and in physical condition, 1t
may be long chase. AT last reports
he was still at large.

r. Reickhoff spent most of his time at
Adrain but was frequent visitor here,
and was we'll and favorably known
throughout Sioux county.
His brother paid him a visit at
Adrian last Friday but has since re-
.urned home. The story of his insanity
created quite a stir here, and his
brother will at once go to Adrian to
help locate him.

Henry schware Ends His Life
After a Day OF Awful
Suffering.
HE THREATENED SUICIDE
Wife Watched Him All Day, but He
Eluded Her and Went to His
Room and Hung Himself
to "a 6edpost.

Holstein, Ia, April 15.-Driven fran
tic by the fortunes of asthma, and af
ter a day of terrible suffering, Henry
schware, a blacksmith, for many years
resident OF this city, quietly slipped
upstairs and hung himself to bed
post, Where his wife soon found him,
beyond human help.
Schware has been a great suf-
ferer from asthma Tor some time,
and Sunday he was in horrible
agony all day. A number of times in
his pain he threatened to end his suf-
fering, and his wife fearing the man in
his desperation would carry out his
threat kept careful watch on him.
While she was preparing supper in
die evening he quietly slipped upstairs
without attracting her attention. When
she called him for supper he did not
answer, and she went upstairs to his
room. The man was hanging from a
bedpost, gasping for breath. The wom-
an screamed and summoned aid, but
by the time he was cut down life was
extinct.
The mans long suffering, his inabil-
tty to work, and the sickness of little
laughter are plainly the causes of his
deed. Mrs. Schware. too, has been In
poor health. but she has made heroic
efforts to make things easy for her hus-
band, and tried her best to prevent the
tragedy. The man leaves his heart

RAISE TEACHERS WAGES.
Campaign in Iowa for Better Pay Has
Good Results.

Des Moines, Ia, April 15.-There are
he best of Indications that the agita-
ion over the low figure reached by
.eachers' wages in Iowa is bearing good
,esults. Superintendent Barrett in the
past two weeks attended conferences of
:!unty superintendent at Burlington
and at Waterloo. The reports of the
county superintendent agreed that
boards of directors. in making contracts
or the coming year, were increasing
wages from 50 to S. per month, and in
some cases as much as $40. There Is
much discussion in the meetings of the
county superintendent over the work.
ngs of the compulsory education law.
1t is the consensus of opinion that the
aw should be strengthened, though it
appears in most localities an honest eff
Tort to carry 1t out is being made. One
of the weak points in the law is that 1T
provides but twelve weeks too brief n
lime, during which child must be in
school; 1t also fails to specify an exact
lime when his twelve weeks shall be-
gin. Because of this, parents not wish
ng to have their children in school are
enabled to embarrass truant officers
and school boards a great deal. AT the
same time there is feeling among the
county superintendent that no attempt
ought to be made to have the law modi-
fed at the next session of the legisla-
ture. lest enemies of the law seek tc
amend the life out of 1t entirely.

TEACHERS WAGES RAISED.
Ida County Townships Have Almost
Enouqh Instructors,

Ida Grove, Ia, April 15.-School COM
menced yesterday in nearly all of the Ida
county districts and graded schools and,
although the limited supply Of teachers
almost approaches a shortage, yet 1T is
not likely that any of the rural schools
viii be left without instructors. and the
gratifying part OF the situation Is that
while teachers are much scarcer than in
former years, their average qualifications
are much higher as indicated by the pre-
ponderance of first and second grade GER
tificates. Ten Of the twelve townships in
the county have raised the wages of the
teachers in the district schools SO that the
general average over the county is now
S34.T5.
