Reports Show Decreases In Cost.

Sioux City, Aug. 1.-THE average
cost Of instructing each pupil in the
schools of Pottawattamie county dur
ing the year 190S-1909 was Z cents per
month less than the figure for the year
1907-190S, according to the report OF
Edwin R. Jackson, county superinten-
dent Of public instruction.
For the year that ended in June,
1909, the average cost of tuition per
pupil was 2.40 per month. In the
previous year is was $2.47.
The highest figure for the past year
was reported from Liberty district in
Lincoln township, where the amount
was 1914. Lone Star district, Silver
creek township, showed the lowest
cost, s1.76 per month. Both are rural
independent districts. The cost in
Council Bluffs was we'll below the
average, being $2.0S g. month.
The number of pupils enrolled has
of course, marked effect upon the
average cost of tuition, which is high
in proportion to the number of teachers
in proportion to the number of techers
| necessary.

Pleasantville, Ia, Aug. 17.-For the

Des Moines river has claimed victim
among the farmer of this community
Tom PETERS, well known farmer,
in company with his brother-in-law,

MARENCO MAYOR
PUTS UP FIGHT
FIRST TRIAL UNDER THE cossoN
REMOVAL LAW OPENS
IN A FEW DAYS.

Des Moines, Aug. 1.-THE first
test of the Cosson removal law pass
ed at the last general assembly will
begin today at Marengo, when Mayor
A. NJ. Henderson goes on trial for
drunkenness. If found guilty he will
undoubtedly appeal to the supreme
court. Under the law the case would
tack precedence over all other so
that final decision could be secured
during the September term OF the
higher tribunal.
Attorney General Byers left last
night for Marengo to prosecute the
case against Mayor Henderson. Coun-
ty Attorney w. ]. Kirby of Williams
burg will assist him. He will be op-
posed by a group of the best legal
talent in the state. Mayor Henderson
has engaged to defend him the firms
of Wade, butcher & Davis of Iowa
City. Henderson & Henderson of IN
dianola, Dover & Murphy of Marengo
and John F. Groin of Marengo. Judge
Byron w. Preston of Oskaloosa will
hear the case, the prosecution hav-
ing taken the necessary steps for
calling In an outside judge. A large
number of witnesses have been called
and the hearing will probably occupy
several days. A hard fought legal
battle is looked for.
Action to GUST Mayor Henderson un-
der the Cosson law was brought last
June by County Attorney Kirby on the
petition of several citizens of the town.
Intoxication was the chief charge
against the mayor. A month later
Mayor Henderson filed his answer, in
which he attacked the Cosson law as
unconstitutional because it does not
provide for jury trial. He admitted
being drinking man, but says the
people of Marengo knew his habits
when they elected him. Besides, he
said he was elected before the sCosson
law went into effect.
Shortly afterwards Mayor Hender-
son was severely injured by being
struck on the head by pulley which
fell from a building which he was
passing. The slowness of his recovery
made necessary two continuances OF
the hearing.
Senator Cosson, who drew the re-
moval law, said yesterday that he
hopes the Henderson case will be car
ried to the supreme court in order to
get speedy decision. While this
is the only action against public
official started under the new law it is
probable that others will be com
menced as soon as the Henderson
case is disposed Of

after 80 YEARS
SERVICE RESIGNS
D. H. PAYNE, suPT. M. E. SUNDAY
SCHOOL AT BLOOMFIELD FOR
MANY YEARS.

Bloomfield, Aug. 17.-(Special.)-
Some two or three weeks ago d. H.
Payne rendered his resignation as sup
erintendent of the Methodist Sunday
school in which capacity he had given
valued service for thirty years and
which resignation was reluctantly
accepted. On Sunday morning August
Is, T. p. Bence in a few well chosen
remarks in behalf of the officers and
scholars presented Mr.. Payne with a,
handsome large oak rocker. Mr.. Payne
received the gift with a speech full OF
feeling as the school had grown to be
part of his life and it was only the
thought that a younger superintendent
might render better service that he
gave up the office. He has kept up the
spirit and interest of the school always
prompt in attendance and it will be
hard to find another superintendent
like him. He followed General James
b. Weaver, who had held the office
fifteen years. Many have died in the
thirty years and many classes have
grown up and gone out into the out
side world. Governor B. F. Carroll and
other prominent men have attended
and gone their way later, leaving Mr..
Payne at his post doing good.
The following resolutions were read
before the school by Ellsworth Rom
niger and adopted:
Whereas, D. H. Payne has for thirty
years rendered valued service as sup
erintendent of the Methodist Episcopal
Sunday school, Bloomfield, Ia, and
has now voluntarily asked that some
one else be selected to assume the
duties of superintendent,
Therefore, be it resolved by the Of
ficers, teachers and eupils of the Sun
day school of the Methodist Episcopal
church of Bloomfield, Iowa, that we
take this opportunity not only to ex-
press our sincere regrets at the retire.

This department is one of the most
interesting in the national government
and young man, such as Mr.. Bliss
could not dedicate his life to a field
that affords such possibilities of sue
cess and government distinction.
1.-TWO yearsi the local weather bu-
reau have proved that Mr.. Bliss Is
entirely competent for the position and
it is safe to say that If he We're not
reliable and capable in every respec,
he would not have been selected by
Chief Willis Moore, one of the ablest
heads this department of the govern
ment has ever had.
mo other department of the govern
ment is of such manifold interest tc
the public at large, for the reason that
men in all occupations, trades and en-

institute outdoor undertakings.
For this reason Philadelphia will BIZ
