ting Fourteen Murders.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Mrs. Mildred A.
lison Rexroat, the dancing teacher
who was shot to death at Wheaton,
ILL.,, a week ago, was the victim of y
modern Bluebeard, who, according to
his own confession, had killed thir-
teen others in as many. years.
Henry Spencer, arrested in room
near the South Side levee district,
confessed that he not only killed Mrs.
Rexroat, but that he had slain four
teen persons.
He was positively identified as the
mysterious Mr.. Spencer, with whom
Mrs. Rexroat left Chicago on the
night she was killed. Mrs. Rexroat q
blood stained rattan suit case was
found in his room, as was the re-
volver with which he said he had

Spencer's story was 80 startling

will know just what books should be
bought. Letters have been sent
throughout the state by book houses
whose contracts expired July 31st ad-
vislng the public that the supreme
court has held that the 1908 books
should be used. A number OF these
letters have been sent to me. In my
opinion they are misleading and In no
particular conform to the courts de-
cision.
The adoption made in 1908 expired
the 31st day of last month. If the
supreme court holds the 1912 adop-
ton to be good. then the books adopt
ed in 1912 will be used exclusively.
II the supreme court should hold that
the 1912 adoption is not good, then
there is no adoption and any book may
be used without regard to any previous
, adoption.
To all who have written me for in.
formation, have replied that they
should buy only the books over which
there is no controversy. and make out
the first few days of school without
buying books over which there is any
doubt as to the legality as to their use
1t is my desire that the school pa.
irons be put to no unnecessary eN.
pense in this matter. We had this IN
mind year ago when these adoptions
we're made and for that reason tn,
greatest changes were made by elimi
mating a large number of useless
books and making but few changes In
the text books actually needed In the
public schools, believing that one ot
the greatest evils Of the public schoo
system is that the children have beer
required to buy entirely too many
books.
The following is the list of books
used in the grades over which there
is no dispute and may be purchased
without any doubt as to the legality
of their use: The Common Sensy
