AFTER SCHOOL BOY SMOKERS.
Sioux City Board Of Education Takes
Tn Bio Problem.

Up Big Problem.
Sioux City. July 1o.-Directors or the
board Of education are talking OF max
ing new rules to stop the use or tobacco
and liquor and the frequenung or pool
rooms by boys Of the high school Re-
Gently complaints have come to certain
members of the board that the students
OF the high school are wont to smoke
too much and spend by far too many
hours In poolrooms during the school
years. 1t has been urged upon the OIL
rectors that they take measures 10
place such restrictions on the habits or
the boys as will reduce the smoking
and poolroom habits to minimum
Jpst how to get at the situation Is
botherng the directors. One way sug-
gested to enforce abstinence from
smoking and playing pool Is that the
boys who possesses these habits be de-
MED certain privileges OF the school. 1t
| has been suggested, for example, that
| no boy be allowed a place on an ath-
| letic team who fails TO obey tho rules
| of the board in regard to these matters
! In order to enforce their rules the d.
| rectors may decide to go even so far as
| TO deny violators any places OF honor in
| the school. II one or two OF the MEM
bers Of the board had their way the
! lads would be kept off debating squads
and athletic teams. and would be de-
MED any OF the several privileges that
are now allowed the pupils.
| There also Is some talk of making a
change In regard to paying teachers
who are forced to absent themselves
from their places because OF Illness,
Now teachers under these circum-
stances are paid the difference between
their regular salary and the cost of hir-
ing substitutes. For example, II a
teacher receives SIS a month and a
substitute is paid $40. the regular in
structor is paid S.. 1t is intended that
some plan be made whereby the sick
! instructor may be given quarter or
! half pay during her illness. regardless
of the amount that is required for the
Substitute.

him.
Young Zerbe's undoing came about
when he traded one Of the watches

He made the trade with a fisherman
and Raesli, who was securing that part
of the city for him, learned Of 1t and
took him into custody.
The other watch was found in his
pockets and also some Of the other

ID to Forestall

Algona, July 15.-The International
Harvester Company seems to have had
some difficulty delivering their ma
chimes in this part of the state the
past few weeks. AS the report goes.
Fred S. Clarke. as agent for the IN
ternational people. had made a num-
Der of sales in this county to be de-
livered at the harvest season.
After getting the machines here,
ready for delivery, Mr.. Clarke ac-
copied an agency for some machinery
manufactured by firms not in the In
combine. This caused the
International company to withdraw
their agency from the Clarke establish
ment. The International people then
made an attempt, so it is alleged. to
send out a second set OF machines for
the customers whom Clarke was to
supply, thus hoping to leave Clarke
with the machines on his hands and no
customers for them. The harvesters
We're sent here and an agent of the
company made arrangements to have
them delivered July 4. Mr.. Clarke got
wind Of the schemes that We're in the
air and notified his customers not to
accept the machines from the company
as he had their goods here in Algona-
When the International agent APP
peared at the farms where the ma
chimes We're supposed to belong. what
was his surprise to be informed in no
uncertain tones, not to unload single
piece of machinery on the place, and
there was no alternative but to haul
the stuff back into town.
Failing in the attempt to deliver the
machines the agent then attempted
to work bluff writ of replevin on Mr.
Clarke's agent, Charles Pettibone, in
an attempt to get possession of the
machinery then in the hands OF Mr.
Clarke. Mr. Pettfbone told the agent
to go get his writ thru the proper
channels and even then he would have
plenty of trouble ON his hands getting
possession Of the machines. After
this the tide OF battle grew more quiet
and the International delivery agent
seems to have retired from the conflict.

Special to Times Republican,
Des Moines. July 15.-Orman Nc
Pherson, an old soldier, serving a life
term for murder in the Iowa prison,
will be pardoned and released.
The case Of Mcpherson is one which
has occasioned much discussion the
past ten years among those who know
of 1t. Mcpherson was convicted of
killing the town marshal at Morn
ing Sun, Louisa county His friends
believe that it was not far removed
from case Of self Defense or at most
was case of manslaughter not war
ranting a life sentence; but that pop
ular clamor forced the extreme per-
atty.
Mcpherson and his wife had sepa-
rated and the wife had gone from
Keithsburg, ILL.,, to Morning Sun, TAX
ing their little daughter, and she was
working in q hotel when Mcpherson
and his son drove into town one Sun
day. Mcpherson had heard that the
surroundings Of the child were not the
best and he had sought an interview.
The 1umor had been circulated, how
ever. that he intended to kidnap the
child. and a mob of the roughs of the
town gathered at the barn where Nc
Pherson left his team and ordered him
to leave town at once. Trouble follow
ed and the pompous town marshal pro-
ceeded to interfere. In the fight which
followed, and when the mob was
shouting "hang him." Mcpherson shot
and killed the marshal.
The case was taken a few years ago
before the legislature and the COM
mittees made the usual perfunctory in
vestigation, deciding that the court
probably acted legally In sending Nc
Pherson to prison for life 1t so hap
pened that the man who was mayor
of the town at the time was in the
legislature and because of this fact no
legislative action was taken. There
was also opposition from friends OF
Mrs Mcpherson who feared that harm
might come to her.
The daughter who was the innocent
cause OF the tragedy has in recent
years graduated from an excellent high
school In Iowa and is a charming young
woman. 1t is now said that opposition
to the pardon has all been removed.
