He LOST WIFE and CHILD
BATTLE CREEK LiVERYMAN WENT
TO FREMONT.
FOUND THEM IN DEPOT THERE
And After the Family Had Enjoyed a
Happy Reunion, Wife and Daughter
and Mr.. Trum Boarded the Train
For Home.
IFrom Wednesdays Daily.l

[From Wednesdays Dailyl
Fremont Tribune: George Trum, a
liveryman of Battle Creek, came to
Fremont in search of his wife and
eight-year-old daughter and got the
first positive knowledge of their pres
ence here when he caught sight of his
little daughter on Main street. He
set in pursuit of the girl, but she elud
ed him and got away.
Prior to this little drama, Trum had
been in conference with Sheriff Bau-
man and Deputy Jenson. He had re-
lated story Of domestic infelicity
which eliminated, he said, in his
wife taking the girl and going to Nor
folk and then to Fremont. According
to his statements, Mrs. Trum had said
she intended to enter a hospital for
an operation and he thought she might
be in one of the institutions here. She
had left home on March and her long
absence, coupled with the conditions
under which she left, gave him cause
for apprehension.
When the sheriff and his deputies
were informed by Trum of his posi-
tive knowledge that his daughter was
here, they started rigid search. This
eliminated in their locating the moth
er and child at the union passenger
station where they were apparently
waiting for a train. Trum met Mrs.
Trum on the depot platform and the
couple had a family reunion in the
presence of the officers, Mrs. Trum
said she intended to go to Norfolk and
Trum said that was his destination,
too. The affair seemed to be about to
reach a happy ending in reconcilia-
tion and home-going and the officers
concluded their presence was neces-
sary no longer, They made a prompt
get away and Mr.. and Mrs. Trum
boarded the Norfolk train.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT TO
THE CONSTITUTION.

AT the coming election the people
will be asked to vote on three pro-
posed amendments to the constitu-
| tiun OF the state The first one pro-
vides that Sec. Z, Article 9 Of the
constitution be amended, and relates
to county superintendents, but does
not affect the state su perintendent.
who has supervision over all. Any
old dub can be elected TO this office
without respect to his educational
itications, but the county super.
lntendent is to have HIS qualifications
fixed by constitution. 1t Is Il we'll
known fact that the county snperin-
tendents have beer digging in all the
while for special favors aud per
quisItes. A few years ago, they got
the legislature to submit an amend
ment to the effect that the two-year
limit which applies to all other coun-
ty officials except clerk of court.
should not apply to them--the super
intehdents- and the people defeated
1t by an overwhelming majority. 1t
is also understood that the county
superintendents have maintained a
powerful lobby at Pierre to look after
their interests and secure legislation
favorable TO their interests. They
have juggled the school laws and in
a good many cases they have left the
law so indefinite as to give them al
most unlimited discrimination in
various matters, under which, in a
good many cases, they have assumed
arbitrary power of granting aud re-
v0king teachers certificates and hold
Ing Institutes where they pleased,
even outside the county. Through
their instrumentality, the school
laws have been amended aud changed
in accordance with their ideas until
they have become SO complicated and
contradictory that it has become ne
cessary to appoint commission to re-
wise the entire school laws, for sub
lection to the coming session of the
legislature.
The effect of the proposed amend-
ment, II adopted, would be to permit
the county superlntehdeuts, through
the legislature, to impose whatever
restrictions they saw lit upon the
rightssOf the voters to select such
persons as they think best qualified
for county sOperintendenJs such as
their having been graduated from
certain pet educational institutions
or the length Of time they must
teach before they are eligible, or, in
short, almost any restrictions of the
kind that they may see TT to impose.
Judging from their work IN the past.
we think it just as well to leave the
constitution, as 1t now is.
II the voters are of the opinion
that they are not capable o. making
proper selection OF the persons they
wish to ill the Office OF county super.
intcndent, they should vote for this
amendment; but If, on the other
hand, they believe they can make a |
good selection without the and or |
assistance Of these gentlemen, they
should vote against the proposed
amendment.

On the Window is held John Cunningham

said they had been recently shipped from
