 Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Arts, which he uses on his stationery, it is said that when asekd about them he failed to give satisfactory evidence of where he obtained these honors. After persistent questioning he is said to have given the name of some ob- seure college, which is unknown to the bureau of education at Wash ington.
 One of the greatest charges against Mcclure is that he has advertised and been generally known as the head of this teachers institute, which is nothing more or less than a scheme for filling vacancies in Arizona schools and deriving a profit from his rec concentrations. It is general hearsay that Mcclure recommends teachers to positions in various Arizona schools and after they have obtained posi- tions, exaets from them a certain percentage of their first years sal ary.
 Mcclure has been accused of filling his own schools with teachers from whom he demands and receives trib- ute at the rate of five per cent of their salaries. That is the aceusa- tion and that is what Dr Babeoek will endeavor to prove.

nesses to rebut the testimony Of the
defense, it is probable that the case
will continue for another week or ten
days. To shorten it as much as pos,
sible, Justice Bowling is holding court
until o'clock daily instead of until A.
the usual hour of adjournment.
The carpenter, Robert Trotter, was
the last witness yesterday afternoon
He said when he was working in the
servants quarters Mrs. Gould rush
ed in at one time, swore at and abus-
ed the servants.
Her voice was shaky and incoher-
ent. her hair disheveled and she was
very profane. She was decidedly

swore at the grooms, and was sc

UP stairs to the harness room but
could not navigate the eteps,' he ad-
ded emphatically. He had orders to sc
to Blue Gap farm. On several days
he was there he testified he saw her
intoxicated and heard her swear a
great deal at the workmen.
"One night she came in from driv-
ing, drunk said the witness, land
began to abuse me. and man named

told her I would have to get help and
she said, "Why, I can move it myself
She was staggering drunk. She grab
bed the heavy clock and both she anc
the clock fell against the wall to-
gether."
Trotter testified that Mrs. Gould was
cnlv Occasionally intoxicated during
her stay OF ten days at the Blue Gar
farm when he was there.
"How many times do you think she
was intoxicaed during the ten days?'
asked Mr.. Shearn.
EVERY other day" was the reply
Referring to the time when Trotter
said Mrs. Gould fell off a chair and lay
on the floor helpless, Mr.. Shearn ask
ed:
Didn't you put something in Mrs
Goulds coffee that night at Blue Gap
farm?''
II certainly did not" replied the wit

Didn't you get Betty Foster the
colored girl in the kitchen, to put
something in Mrs. Gould's coffee?"

Don't you recall that Mrs. Gould

"She was taen sick and fell to the
floor directly after she had been eat

"No, it was two hours before she

COMP ANY MAKES
MPROVEMENTS
RAILWAY AND LIGHT CONCERN
SPENDING HUGE SUM ON
HEATING FACILITIES.

The extensive improvements being
made by the Ottumwa Railway and
Light Co., that are now being made
bid fair to last until the summer is
past and the chilly weather again re-
turns before the end will have been
reached. The cost of the work will run
high in the thousands and an army of
men will be employed by the company
throughout the summer and fall in
making the improvements. The great
est element of the work will be the re-
laying of the steam mains for the fur
nishing of heat to hundreds of OF
tumwa homes and business houses
Roughly figuring the mains being in
stalled by the company will amount tc
two miles in length and are consider
ably larger than those previously used
bv the company. The work of laying
the mains is progressing rapidly for
such heavy work. since the beginning
of the work about month ago, but 1t
Is necessarily slow and much difficulty
is experienced due largely to the TAX
ing up of the paving in the down
town districts and the necessity OF
taking out the old in order to relay
the new material.
Larger Mains Used.
The work Of laying the steam mains
is being done bv the American District
Steam Co., of Lockport, N. Y. This
company has had much of the material
on the ground Cor the past month and
has employed large force of men to
take out the old mains and substitute
the new and latest improved steam
mains in their place. The new material
is Of q larger type than the old stock
and ranges as large as sixteen inches
against twelve inches as the largest OF
the old mains. The mains are OF
wrought iron and are covered by as
bestos paper and cloth, after which
they are inserted in thick covering
of wood, lined with tin. This latter is
to protect the pipes from the cold
ground and it also preserves the eff
cheney of the steam from the time it
leaves the boilers at the power plant
until it reaches the radiators in the
homes of the users.
-ay New Steel.
Material has been ordered by the
Railway and Li..ht Co. for relaying the
east end line with new so pound steel
between Jefferson and Ash streets. The
work will begin as soon as the mater
ial arrives and the track will be put in
the same condition as the same line
