wife is at the home. Tenth near Ire
mont, so badly used up that she is un-
able to go about. This deplorable state
of affairs comes thru the brutality OF
the husband, who has thus abused his
promise to cherish and protect the
woman of his choice.
The instrument with which the in
jury was inflicted is a heavy beer
glass, which the Infatuated Mckinney
used to particularly impress on the
mind of his wife, the point he was
trying to make. He was successful
in making an impression as a cash re-
quiring several stitches was cut in the
woman's head.

Baskerville, March 13.-The mutiny
in the high school which had been
brewing for some time, and which
came to climax by almost the enire
school walking out yesterday continues
today, with somewhat abated vigor
About half of the school pupils re-
turned to their duties this morning.
Six of the boys called for their books
and went home. The parade yesterday
continued until p. m. with diminishing
ranks, as parents who discovered
their children in line sent them back
home. An effort was made to induce
the fifteen who refused to go out to
stay out today. The board suspended
four for causing a disturbance. One
was reinstated upon apology and good
promises. 1t is thought the leaders are
influenced by boys of hard characters
outside of the school, tho formerly
connected with it during the football
season. Miss Cullen seemed partial to
them while Professor Dukes disapprov-
ed of the game under such circum-
stances This with the other differ
ences led to the rupture between them.
Her walk out yesterday was a surprise.
tho threatened a few days ago. 1t is
thought now to have been planned by
her to have the school follow. She will
leave the city soon. The parents will
likely insist on the attendance OF the
children and thus close the incident.
The board and Professor Duke are har-
monious. and the latter will have the
hearty cooperation Of all the mem
bers.
The affair has caused a great deal
of excitement here and while Miss Gull
len has a great many friends, the gem
eral impression Is that she acted un-
wisely in opposing the superintendent.
She was regarded as very efficient
instructor and had q great hold upon
the pupils.

Special to Times Republican.
Davenport, March 13.-Rumors re-
garding the shortage of Postmaster
lMetzgar and the probability that he will
continue In Office are still In the air
despite the fact that word was given
officially to the effect that the short
age had been made good by friends
of the postmaster and that he would
be allowed to retain his position. A
new complication, however, has arisen
| in connection with his bondsmen. They
must agree to continue to support
him and protect the government before
the matter can be considered fully
ended. The postoffice inspectors have
been interviewing the bondsmen and a
local paper states it has ascertained
from absolutely reliable authority that
10 OF these bondsmen have refused to
continue on Mr.. Metzgar's bonds.

thoritative sources that these bonds

in which the government has either to

While without the operation there was

projsct seems likely at this time, in

is advertising in eastern papers for
bids on the construction of something
near $50 miles OF track between the
two points mentioned. This can hardly
be merely for siding. as the road is al

1t will be the object OF the dairy de-
