FEMALE BURGLAR THEORY.
Dubuque PolioeVFind Woman's Skin
Outside BurgIarized Saloon.


Outside BurgIarized Saloon.
Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque, Now 21.-The police of
this city are now wrestling with the
theory that perhaps Dubuque's per-
sistent salon thief is of the female
persuasion. Seeming evidence of the
truth of this theory, is the discovery of
woman's skirt on the ground just
outside of O'Brien's saloon, which was
burglarized. In the finding of the
garment the police think they have
take decided step toward the unrav-
cling of the intricate methods adopted
by the thief The skirt is now at the
police station and will be kept await
ing developments. 1t is Of the ordin-
airy polka dot, calico variety with
few tucks and frill or two around the
lower end of it. 1t looks as tho it was
built on plans and specifications sub
mitted by a modiste who had for a
model very short woman.
A number of the police, however,
do not favor the idea advanced as to
the femininity of the burglar. They
contend that it is real man who
adopts the woman style of dress as
ruse. Others Of the blue coats come
cross with the formula that the par
ty does not appear in woman's attire
at all and give as reason for the APP
pearance Of the garment that it was
used to deaden the sound caused by
falling glass

HAMILTON AGAINST
DOMESTIC SCIENCE
Board of Control Member Be

MISS BONN BACK TO BOSTON
Eastern Lady Secured to Teach in
State School Objects to Working in

Special to Times-Kepubfican.
Council Bluffs, Nov. 21.-Miss Ber-
tina Bohn, late a graduate Of the Bos-
ton School Of Domestic Science and
several kindred branches, has, it is
said, poor opinion Of Iowa educators
in general and one school and those
who manage it, in particular.
Miss Bohn gave up a position IN
Boston which was paying her SIS a
month to come to Council Bluffs and
take charge Of the department of do
nestle science at the state institution
for the deaf at a salary of $50 and
board-with the probability Of pro-
motion.
! The department is one that was al
lowed to languish in the school here
following the destruction Of the main
building by fire and was only recently
re-established. One day not long ago
John L. Hamilton, a member Of the
board Of control, who is understood to
have poor opinion of the frills, do
nestle economy being regarded by him
in that light, and to have little patience
with those who are its defenders, was
a visitor at the school here. In his in
vestigations and questioning he gave
it as his decided opinion that teach
er in this department, in order to make
her usefulness to the state and its
wards complete and satisfactory
should go down into the kitchen and
demonstrate there her ability in the
culinary line. In other words, Mr..
Hamilton gave those interested to I'M
derstand that he had little faith in the
department as a part of the curricu-
lnm and that the services Of the teach
er could be better applied and her time
better employed, in the kitchen of the
institution rather than trying to in
still into the minds Of the students
ideas Of domestic economy He gave
those in his hearing the impression
that he believed the home was the
place for the girls to be taught such
things and not in the state schools.
Result, Miss Bohn, Of Boston, who
came west with enlarged ideas of her
future life of usefulness and with the
thought that she was to be the head
of department operated for and by
the great state of Iowa, has returned to
Boston and there is an aching void at
the restitution which will know her no
more as an instructor in domestic
science or domestic economy.

Cedar Falls Club Workers Will be
Assisted by Number of Men.
Special TO Ii,nes- Republican.
Cedar Falls, Nov. 21.-The women's
clubs of this city are planning to agi-
tate two reforms in the near future,
they being improved service and clean
er cars, and less truancy among the
school children The ladies will be
aided by large number of men, Var
ious methods have been suggested,
among others that the women form a
union and start the ball rolling by
writing a chainless letter to the Off l.
Gals of the company. There can be
no doubt that great many of the men
would join in this reform if they only
knew what to do.
The other reform that will be
agitated among the clubs is less tru-
ancy among children. Some Of the
ladies are inclined to believe that
there are too many children running
| the streets that should be in the school
ROOM They purpose to start some
measure that will cause this to cease
and see to it that these children are
put in school. They do, however, ad
NIT that the truancy conditions here
are not nearly as bad in this city as
| they are in other places. but they pur-
pose to make this model city as far
as the attendance at school Is con-
| cerned. if it is possible.
