not known.
The Schaumberg came into this port
about ten days ago from Galveston
and took on bunker coal. She is well

WAS NOT c. J. aEeELMAN.
Mistake in Name of Sailor Who
Figured in Alleged Robbery Case.

Figured in Alleged Robbery Case.
When the cases of Myrtle Johnson
and Mary Hundley. charged with rob
bling sailor Thursday night, were
called in Justice Browns court yes
terday morning the evidence adduccd
was insufficient to convict the women
and they were dismissed on the rob.
berry charge, but Myrtle Johnson was
placed under bond to keep the peace,
because of certain threats made while
in the court room.
1t also developed that Charles j..
Regelman was not the complainant in
the case. 1t seems that Mr. Regel-
man was passing when n sailor from
another ship called on him to look up
an officer to take the women in
charge. Mr.. Regelman. who has an
excellent record on his ship. felt
somewhat agrieved that he should be
made the central figure in the af-
fair, in view of the fact that participa-
ton in such scrapes while ashore
counts against n mans record in the
navy. This explanation is made in
justice to Mr.. Regelman who. as is
frequently the case with the inno-
cent by-stander, seems to have been
brought into the limelight simply
through his desire to assist another
sailor whom he found in q difficulty.

Waterloo, Dec. 21.-The exciting po-
litical story published in Des Moines to
the effect that the Cummins men of
this county were up in arms at Con-
gressrnan Birdsall because the latter
had decided to appoint Ed Knott to
succeed himself as United States mar
shall in preference to the Waterloo
candidate, Mr.. Law, is looked upon as
pure fiction by the men here who ought
to know. Mr.. Law was candidate for
the appointment and he was supported
by the Cummins men but this appoint
ment is not within the gift of Con-
gresham Birdsall. 1t will be decided
by the whole Iowa delegation in cau-
Gus and those who understand the po-
litical color sof that caucus have long
ago given up hope of a Cumnins man
receiving an appointment. Should Mr..
Pickett become a candidate for. con-
gress Waterloo and Blackhawk coun-
ty would support him but at present he
is not being groomed by the so-called
5"Cummins" men, that is certain. This
class of politicians look upon such a
story as the Des Moines papers dis
patch as an effort by misrepresenta-
ton to embarrass their forces in this
district and scare Birdsalrs friends in
to the other camp.

Teacher Out With Brooms.
Bridgeton, N. j., Dec. 2f.-The
"Smack in School," made famous by
readers and reciters for generations.
has caused an upheaval in the Back
Neck public school, near this city, and
the young schoolmaster, Smith West
colt, was chased out Of the building
by irate mothers with brooms. The
board of education of the township Is
making an investigation while the
school remains closed.
According to the stories told parents
by some Of the pupils the school has
been under lax discipline for some time
and often turned into an uproar by the
.doings of some of the boys. The staid
farming community learned thru some
of the girls that the boys had been
allowed to mingle freely with them,
that hugging and kissing were every
day features Of life within the walls
of the little building and there was
widespread indignation.
The latest story and the one which
brought the exciting crisis was that
boy had been overhauled by the teach
er for throwing spitballs which hit
girls in the eyes. The teacher caught
the boy, made him roll in a lot OF the
halls and then stood him in corner
and threw them at him until he was
a sight to behold.

BLAcKsMITHs ORGANIZE.
Association Of Northern Iowa Formed
to Fix Prices.

Special to Times Republican.
Ackley Dec. 21.-After several pre-
liminary meetings the Blacksmitlhs'
Protective Association Of Northern
Iowa met at Parkersburg, and perfect
ed it's organization, by electing it's
originator, George Johnson, of Gene
va, president for the ensuing year.
Skow of Hampton was elected secre-
tary and o. Berry Of Hansell, treasurer.
Mr.. johnson has been laboring for
some time to secure better UNDER
standing among the blacksmiths Of
northern Iowa in regard to uniform
schedule of prices for all blacksmiths'
work and horse shoeing and has the
satisfaction of seeing his efforts crys-
talized into an organization which its
members believe will secure the ends
sought. To those familiar with the
situation, the action of Iowa's sons of
Vulcan in corning to a better under
standing among themselves can not
appear but reasonable when it is a fact
we'll known to the farmers that their
wages have not kept pace with the
wages of skilled labor in other lines
and the advance of material.
The threat to boycott the organiza-
ton, which comes from some quarters,
is idle and will die the same death that
has always oyertaken opposition to or
ganized labor. The organization will
hold it's next meeting at Waterloo.
