Training, Here.

state inspector for normal training.
visited the high school yesterday
morning in the interest of the nor
NAL training course Superintendent
Kelly is thinking seriously Of es-
tablishing the course here in con-
nection with the public schools and
1t was with this in view that the in
spector visited the school today.
He talked to the pupils on the ad-
visibility of such course and ex-
planned the matter in clear man
ner, making 1t easy for the pupils
to see the many advantages such a
course would have If the school
should be able to start with ten pu-
pills the state aid Of $500 would be
theirs and would serve as a great
help. Students who have gradual
ed will be eligible in this course, as
we'll as those who are in school.
Such course would be most ad-
vantageous to Webster City and vi
cinity. bringing many young people
here to finish their preparations for
school teaching and keeping many
in the city who are now obliged to
get their training elsewhere.

SUNS ECLIPSE WE'D.
NEsDAY, APRIL II
A Total Eclipse Which Will be Seen
to the Best Advantage in
Europe.

A total eclipse of the sun will oc-
cur April II, that will be seen to
the best advantage in Europe. In
this country, the sun will rise partly
eclipsed In most Of the southern,
middle and eastern states, and at
New York city will emerge from the
shadow about 6:32 a. m. During
the eclipse the centers of the sun,
moon and earth will be exactly in
line for a moment, with the moon
between the sun and the earth. The
path of totality begins In venezue-
la, crosses the Atlantic, traverses
the northeast corner OF Portugal and
Spain, passes over Paris and near
Liege, Hamburg and st. Petersburg,
and ends in Siberia. The moon will
besat such distance between the
sun and the earth that the dame
ter Of the sun and the moon will
seem to be approximately identical
at the moment OF the eclipse. The
fact may enable astronomers to esti-
mate more accurately the diameter
Of the moon. In France the eclipse
wfll take place toward noon, when

A Grewsome Find is Made by n. V.
Daniels While Walking on
the Banks Of the
Boone.
CORONER FOSTER NOTIFIED
Case is a Mystery Dead Baby Prob
ably in the Water for
Some Time.

The most gruesome discovery Of
baby's body floating in the Boone
river. Just north Of the Bank street
bridge. was made by N. Y. Daniels,
q resident Of the east side, Sunday
afternoon. The body was floating
down stream within easy reach of
the bank. Although the coroner
and chief OF police have been work
ing on the case, nothing that might
be used as a clue to the mystery OF
the dead infant, can be found
The discovery was made about
o'clock in the afternoon. Mr.. Dam
siels, whose home is near the river.
was walking through the timber. He
stopped near the edge of the water
and while looking at the river saw
something white. Not knowing
what the object was, Mr.. Daniels
procured long stick and with the
assistance OF it managed to tow It
to shore. AS the body was badly
mutilated he did not at first recog-
nize 1t as the corpse OF an infant.
However, after pulling It ashore
with the stick he soon saw what he
had found. He Immediately tele-
phoned to coronef Arch Foster. who
notified Police Nickerson. and pro-
curing an automobile they went to
the scene OF the discovery. The
body was placed In q box and taken
to the Foster undertaking rooms.
MT. Foster then notified several lo-i
cal physicians and asked their opin-
ion on the matter.
According to the Judgment of the
doctors and the coroner the child
was. about FIVE months old at the
time Of death. It is also their opin-
ion that the body had been in the
river for some time. The lower
limbs of the corpse below the knees
were gone. The trunk Of the body
was badly decomposed, but had re-
manned in tact. One opinion is that
the child's body had been buried at
de.th and the rise of the water in
the river had washed it from its
grave in some private burying
ground on the banks Of the river.
Near the temple on one side the
skull has been fractured. This mark
might have been caused from vio-
lence In case of unnatural death, or
it could have been caused from COM
ing in contact with the ice in the
river. OF course this IL all mere
speculation and the facts in the case
will probably never be known.
While the location OF the place
where the body was deposited in
the river is unknown here, it is
thought to have been probably
many miles up the river. A further
is being made.
Coroner Foster has notified the
secretary OF the state board OIL
health and instructions as to the
of the body are expected.
The finding Of the body of thel
infant caused but little excitement
here Sunday. as the coroner and
the police did not make It publicI
until this morning.
