Iowa City, Dec. 2S.-The accidental
death of Henry Mckirehan in the rail-.
road yards Of Moline last week, and
the burying of his body by his sweet
heart, Miss Esther Randall, Il sister of
Mrs. j. A. Valenta, of this city, is the
tragic ending of a romance that found
its beginning in the shadov of the
State University of Iowa, where both
were students. Two years; ago Nc
Kirehan was q. member of the college
of liberal arts, in which Miss Randall
was a student. The son of a minister
now living somewhere in New York
state, he had made his way westward
for reasons he had never told, and had
attempted to earn his way thru the
state university. For two years he
had struggled here, when in Decem-
Der, 1903, he decided to leave the in
stitution, but before he left he had be-.
come engaged to the girl who has just
buried him, and he had told her that
when he had made a place for himself
he would write for her. Saying little
to his many friends in the university,
he dropped out of the college life and
until six months ago his whereabouts
were a mystery. At that time D. c..
Abrams of this city received letter
from the Northwestern Boarding Com
pany in regard to the reliability of
McKirehan who during his college days
had worked for him. Abrams recon-
mended him highly and once started in
the work the young man made rapid
Improvement. It was then he wrote
his sweetheart that by Christmas time
he would have home for her and
they could be married then. Walking
on the railroad tracks Of Moline on the
day before Christmas, discussing his
coming marriage, McKirehan was run
over and instantly killed by freight
train. His parents could not be locat-
ed and the girl he was to have married
came for his body and took it home
with her to Little Rock, Iowa, and
there buried it.

WANTS LAW REVISED.
Children Once Wards Of State, Should
Remain so Until Of Age.


Special to Tifnes-Republican
Mason City. Dec. 2s.-Miss Clara
Lubbock, state agent for the Iowa In
dustrial School, in an interview here
yesterday, intimated desire for re-
vision Of the law that created her Of
flee. An effort wifi be made to bring
the matter to the attention of the gem
eral assembly this winter, with ths
hope that the law will be revised. She
desires that all children who have once
been wards of the state, remain so till
of age. She does not mean that they
be kept at the school by the state but
that if allowed to return to their homes
they be still under the care and NOM
inally state wards. She gave an in
stance in which the law as it now
stands makes extra work necessary. A
recent case of an entire family being
convicted Of shoplifting in Des Moines
is given as an example. The children
of the family were once wards at the
Industrial school. Now that it seems
necessary to bring these children to
the school again the legal process
brought into play before will have to
be resorted to again, whereas If they
were wards of the state, their reten-
ton would be an easy matter.
