NO ONE SAW THE ACCIDENT
Indications Are That He Fell Into the
Water While Engaged in oiIins Ma
chinery-only Known Relative Re-
sides in Maquoketa-Served in South

Davenport, Dec. John Baker.
Waterman at the Crescent bridge, has
been missing since s o'clock yesterday
morning and it is believed that he fell
into the river and was drowned. At s
o'clock Baker took an oil can and
started down to oil the machinery OF
the bridge. He did not return and En-
gineer Thomas Conboy went down TO
search for him. He climbed down onto
missing man. The oil can had also
disappeared.
In order to oil the machinery it is
necessary to climb down to the draw
pier of the bridge. 1t is a danger
Gus task at any time but after the
rain the iron steps and the stones be-
come very slippery. 1t is supposed
that Baker in stepping onto the pier
missed his footing and fell into the
river.
The missing man was about 2S
years of age and had been employed
as Waterman at the bridge for about
two years. He served With the Eng
lish army in South Africa during the
Boer war and came to America soon
after the war ended. He was a man
of exemplary habits and had gained
considerable reputation as an athlete.
For this reason those who knew him
believe that he must have been
stunned in falling or he would have
been able to swim to safety
Baker has an uncle named .Margiens
living in Maquoketa and he has been
notified of the accident.

ARSENIC IN A WELL.
Attempt to Poison Family Near La
Porte is Believed to Have Been

Special TO Times-Repub1ican.
Waterloo, Dec. 1.-Word has been
received hero from LaPorte of a sup
posed attempt to poison an entire
family by placing of arsenic in a we'll
from which the family procured its
supply of water. Three members OF
the Grant Wells family who reside on
>the old Cal Howery farm in Spring
Greek township, were tjken seriously
i'll and only by the prompt arrival of
physicians who had been summoned
from town were their lives saved.
Drs. Graham and Fisher were sum-
moned and when they arrived at the
Wells home, Mr.. and Mrs. Wells and
their 5-year-old son were found to
be in a very serious condition, and
all three were suffering untold
agonies. Both the physicians, after
a careful diagnosis of the cases, pro-
nounced the case one of arsenic
poisoning. 1t is not known how the
poison was taken but from all indica-
lions it was in the water taken from
the we'll on the place. Shortly before
the family were taken sick they all
drank some water which had been
drawn from the well. The Oldest son
who did not drink any of the water
was the only one of the family who
was not sick.
How the arsenic came to be in the
water is not known. Mr. and Mrs.
Wells both say that there has been no
poison Of any kind on the farm since
they have resided there, and the only
solution that can be made of the af-
fair is that some one deliberately
placed the poison in the we'll in an at
tempt to poison the entire family. No
motive is known for such an act as the
family are highly respected citizens
and are we'll thought of in the vicinity
in which they reside, and it was not
supposed that they had an enemy who
would commit an act of this kind

Many Applicants For Teachers
Certificates Under New Law
Do Not Pass
ONE REASON FOR SHORTAGE.
Failure of Applicants for Certificates
Largely Responsible for Inadequate
Supply of Teachers to Fill Rural
schoos-Specia Examinations Nec-
: essary.
Special to TImes-Repuplican.


Des Moines, Dec. 1.-Prof. John T.
Riggs, State superintendent of public
instruction. today reported to the state
board of educational examiners that
total of 355 out of sos applicants re-
ceived certificates TO teach as q result
of the first examination under the new
state certificate law The average age
of those who failed to pass was 1915.
Professor Riggs report was read to
the board at its meeting today and
shows that there were sos applicants
for teachers certificates, 527 of whom
wrote the entire examination, while rs
wrote only IN subjects in which they
received less than 80 per cent on sec
prior to October /. 1905.
OF those successful at the eXamina-
ton eight received first grade certiti-
Gates, los second grade, 142 third grade
and five special certificates, and 80
were granted provisional certificates on
special examinations held because of
the shortage of teachers. The total
for the travelling expenses and salaries
of the readers was $311.15.
The report of Superintendent Riggs
shows the extent of the shortage OF
teachers in the state Because of the
shortage forty-tive special examina-
tons were held in forty-five counties
of the state since the state examination
and total of 1870 certificates have been
issued to persons examined at these
special examinations.
The report of Superintendent Riggs
considers some of the criticisms which
have been made on the new law, es-
pecially as to filling positions on short
notice and the requirement that thesis
be written for certificates of certain
grades. The recommendation is made
in the report that booklets be issued
containing information for the benefit
of teachers desiring certificates of
higher grade. Attention was also called
to the fact that the legislature failed
to make proper provision for the pur-
chase of the certificate blanks
