perintendent Frank L. Smart, along
with the fuel committee. started an in
vestigation, and after reweighing a
load and gathering other evidence,
submitted the figure to the board Mon
day evening. According to these fig
ures during the month of April there
was a shortage in one load of % bush
els and 40 pounds. The loss for the
past year will amount to more than
$3.50. Just who is the cause OF the
shortage has not been ascertained.
The matter was reported to Mayor
Alfred Mueller and he stated that he
should be glad to take specific evil
dence in the case. 1t was referred to
Alfred Mueller, as a member or the
board, to be taken up with Dick r.
Lane, as attorney for the board, and
make an effort to bring it before the
city council.
Fighting School BurqIars.-That the
work of youthful adventures in break
ing and entering the various public
schools of the city will be vigorously
opposed was emphatically declared at
a regular meeting of the school board,
and steps may be taken with view to
just and compensate prosecution OF
the miscreants. The report was made
by Superintendent Frank L. Smart
that seven schools had been forcibly
entered since the first Of the year. and
that while nothing of great value was
taken, a window light was generally
destroyed to effect such entrance, and
the school room thrown into a state
of confusion. The boys usually ram
sack the teachers desk and take such
articles of value as they find, includ-
ing knives, pencils, erasers. books and
other materials used in the rooms.
The last school to become the object
of the nuisance was Tyler school,
which was entered only a few days
ago. Only a few days previous Polk
and within month Tyler had been en-
tered. Other schools entered since
the first of the year were Madison,
Monroe, Harrison and Buchanan.
Obituary Record.-Yesterday, at her
home, 1880 Perry street, occurred the
death of Mrs. Caroline Jansen, wife
of ORGY Jansen, the we'll known in
surance representative. Deceased was
born in Davenport Sept. 2, 1868. In
addition to the bereaved husband, ORGY
Jansen, four children, three daugh-
tiers and one son, are left to mourn
the loss of a devoted mother. These
are Bessie, Lieleth, Nellie, and ORGY.

COMETS TAIL is LONGER
French Astronomer Thinks Poison

French Astronomer Thinks Poison
GUS Gases May Affect Earth.
Paris, May ASTRONOMERS in
France are making observations of
Halley's comet that are attracting
the greatest interest. Maurice Hamy
of the Paris observatory reports that
the length of the tail has increased
from 5 to 10 degrees in three days.
Professor Deslandres of the univer-
sity of Dion finds a temperance in
the spectroscope of cyanogen, the
poisonous gas which was observed
in January and February. but which
disappeared in March. In his report
he says that the hypothesis that the
gas is liable to affect the terrestrial
atmosphere would not be at all abb
surd.
On the other hand, Camille Flam-
marion thinks that. the tail of the
comet is simply an optical phenom-
enon produced by the fight through
ether, similar to the wake of a ship
at sea.
Mr.. Marchand maintains that the
comet shows important variations
from it's predicted orbit, which pres
age unexpected surprises.
