Centeryille, Dec 11.-(special.) -
Mrs. Oscar Armintrout has suddenly

and they slept innocent Of the fact
that they were alone the remainder OF
the night, awaking to find note say
ing that their mother had gone, but
not telling where.
Mr.. Armintrout has been employed
as machinist at Eldon, and he was
notified by the children that their
mother had disappeared. He came at
once and found the note that told him
that she could no longer live happily
in his home. She departed Friday
night, but her action has just been
made public.
The husband is overcome by the &C
ton on the part of the woman, and
it is with reluctance that he talks on
the subject. 1t is known that he has
information that certain Eldon man
disappeared about the same time.s ii
Mr.. and Mrs. Arm1ntrout lived In
Centerville quite number of years
but removed to Eldon when Mr.. Ar
mintrout entered upon his work there
about two years ago. Six months ago
for reasons best known to himself
he had his family go back to Center
vile.

HELPS OUT THE TRUSTEES.
Private Citizen In Dubuque Will Save
Water Works.

Dubuque, Dec. 1.-THE career Of
the waterworks trustees under munic-
ipal ownership came to head today
when John Morrison of Mcdonald
Morrison Pump company was made
adviser of the trustees, he agreeing
to serve without pay.
The expense and annual deficit have
been something enormous and Morri-
son declared that enormous leaks were
apparent to him which could easily be
stopped. He has agreed in the inter-
est of civic improvement to serve
without pay, and although much bitter
ness had characterized the charges of
incompetency made against the trus-
tees, an agreement was effected be-
tween them and Morrison. who IS re-
ally an agent of the municipal league.
The citizens of Dubuque look upon the
innovation as most encouraging
sign in a very intricate problem.

dom, the two basic principles of our
American system; the principle that
the majority must rule, and the princi-
pie that the minority has rights which
must not be disregarded or trampled
upon. Yet real progress has been
made in having these principles &C
cepted as elementary, as the founda-
tons Of successful government.
/ transmit herewith the report Of
the governor of Porto Rico, sent to
the President through the secretary
OF state.
In One Bureau.
All the insular governments should
be placed in one bureau, either in the
department of war or the department
Of state. 1t is a mistake not to ar
range our handling of these islands at
Washington as to be able to take ad-
vantage of the experience gained in
one, when dealing with the problems
that from time to time arise in anoth-
er.
In conclusion let me express my ad-
miration for the work done by the
der which the island is now being
administration. After seeing the island
personally, and after five years ex.
perience in connection with its ad.
ministration, it is but fair to those
who devised this law to say that 1t
would be well-nigh impossible to have
devised any other which in the actual
working would have accomplished bet
ter results.
