Not a word has been heard concern
ing the whereabouts of the high school
principal. According to the superin-
tendent of the city schools, A. J. Nc
Allister, the principal was expected
back on duty the next day but he has
not reported and no word or excuse of
any kind has been received.
The train and switch crews have
been questioned carefully but none of
them seem to have seen the two men
or Zumwalt alone. The train auditor
and conductor on train No. 2, the train
that passed in between the two men
and the depot platform the night of
the fight cannot remember of a man
answering to the description of Zum-
walt. The missing man had purchased
a ticket at the ticket office for Topeka
from whence he expected to go to Bon
ner Springs.
Considerable anxiety is being felt in.
Herington over the disappearance of
the young high school teacher. Zum-
walt has been in Harrington for the last
two years. He was at one time editor
of the Harrington Sun, daily and
weekly. He held a controlling stock in
the plant of the paper. He then sold
out and accepted the position of prin-
cipal of the high school.
Graduate of Washburn.
Irmi Zumwalt is graduate of
Washburn college of Topeka, also the
Washburn law school. He took a very
active interest in the college affairs
and has represented the college in both
oratory and debate. He was a MEM
Der of the Tau Delta Pi honorary fra
ternity and the Delta Phi fraternity
After graduating from Washburn
Mr. Zumwalt took a position with the
Topeka Daily Herald as editorial writ
er. He held this position for almost a
year-until the paper stopped publica-
ton. At this time he purchased con-
trolling stock in the Harrington Sun
and has been in that city since.
When he finished his school work in
Herington this spring. Zumwalt was to
go to Bonner Springs, where he had
purchased a weekly newspaper.

ASSAULT is FEARED.
Zumwalt Had Ordered Brake

They Laid For Him When He
Took Midnight Train.

- In connection with the sensational
ssstory'' concerning the assault OF
Clerin Zumwalt, an agent of the State
Temperance union at Atchison the 9TH
er day, a deep mystery surrounded by
treachery comes from Herington in
volving the disappearance of Imri Yum
walt brother tc the state temperance
worker and at one time an editorial
writer on the old Topeka Daily Herald.
Imri Zumwalt is principal of the high
school at Herington. a town of 5000,
southwest on the Rock Island Last
"wednesday the Harrington high school
g5iayed game of baseball with the high
school team from Council Grove and
during the game a number of Rock Is
land railroad men tried to enter the
grounds free of charge. Zumwalt, who
was watching the gate, caught them
and in rather fefceful language he or
dered them from the park. Mid the
5eers of the spectators and the ''jollyS''
of their fellow workmen at the game
the men left the grounds swearing
vengeance upon the watchful gate
keeper.
That Wednesday night Zumwalt went
to the Rock Island depot with the in
tention of taking the midnight train
east-to be gone but a day. While
waiting for the train Zumwalt saun-
tered into the Rock Island eating house
whom he had thrown out of the base
ball grounds the afternoon before. He
commenced roasting him at once, re-
minding him of the fact that he was
a tight wad" and the like and limiting
that If he appeared on the grounds
again he would receive less polite treat
ment.
The big burly brakeman took the
matter a little too seriously and jump
ing to his feet he dared Zumwalt to
leave the building. The school teacher
Journalist took the railroader up on
this proposition and followed by a flock
of call boys. switchmen. brakemen and
enginemen the two men left the eat
ing house. AS soon as they left the
doorway Zumwalt made a break for
the open platform closely followed by
the irate railroader. They came to-
gether in between tracks No. and No.
S Just in front of the United States ex-
press Office and then disappeared. A
train came in before the spectators
could get into the ring and rothing has
been heard of either man since
saw Man Strike ZumwaIt.
The policce at Herington have been
putting forth all their efforts for clue

BY SMALL MARGIN
Conference Report on Tariff Bill
Adopted in House.
TWELVE MAJORITY FINAL VOTE
Twenty Republicans Join Demo-
Gratis in Opposition.

Washington, July 31.-The house to-
night adopted the conference report
on the tariff bill, 1875 to 1873. Twenty
Republicans voted against the report
and two Democrats for it.
The vote was the climax OF an
eleven-hour session, conducted through
most oppressive heat, but notwith-
standing il was enlivened by dozen
or more speeches of more or less fiery
nature.
The twenty Republicans who voted
against the adoption of the report
were as follows:
Representatives Carey (Wfs.), Da-
Wis Mimi, Gronna IN. d., Haugen
(Ia), Hubbard Qa), Keifer (OO, Ken
dali Qa), Lenroot (Wis), Lindbergh
(Minn.), Mann Qll), Miller (Minn.)
Murdoch (Kan.), Nelson (Wis.), Nye
Mimi, Poindexter (Wash.), South
wick IN. ". Steenerson (Minn.), Ste
vens Mimi, Volstead (Minn.) and
Woods Qa.).
A change of three votes would have
killed the tariff bill In the house on
one of the roll calls. The motion to
recommit the bill, which meant its
death, was defeated by only five votes.
Two Louisiana Democrats, interested
in maintaining high sugar duties, and
ether Democrats absent and not
paired saved the measure. The Incl
dent shows its unpopularity.

sheltering and providing means Of sus-
