When the public schools open in the fall the system of free school books will be inaugu- rated.

The books will be purchased by the school authorities and will be the property of the schools. They will be loaned to the chil- dren to be returned when they have passed from the grade where the books afe used. The money appropriated will only be suilicient to supply books for the four first grades, and the teachers are now engaged in making estimates of the number of books that will be required in their respective schools based upon the proba- ble attendance for next year, Under the provisions of the law, which has been in operation for some yeurs, providing books free of cost to indigent pupils, quite & large number of books have been purchased and belong to the schools.

He had served several years in the army, during which time he had saved some money, and it was his intention to visit friends in Germany, but instead of returning to his native country he went off for a good time and spent almost every dollar he had in the world. Where he remained Saturday night is not known, but he reached the shore of the Eastern branch early yesterday morning with a loaded “bull dog” revolver in his_possession. Going to the bushes he made a piliow of his cout and vest and then fired the fatal shot. He rolted from the pillow thus made before his death and the revolver fell upon the green grees, which was still wet with dew. ‘The weapon was pressed so closely to the body that the tlesh was torn by the powder and his shirt was burned. ‘The deceased was an elderly man, with gray hair and beard, and during hix stay in the home he alwa; imself in a gentle- manly manner, so gained many friends there. So far'as is known he has no relatives in this country.

Petty received through the mail a request for his resignation, sigued by Supervising Prineipal John T. Free- man. This news spread rapidly among the partisans of Mr. Petty and at 9 o'clock Satur- day night they held a meeting ut the residence of Mr. William H. Peck on Maple avenue. Mr. George H. Armstrong was chosen chairman. Among those present were Messrs. J. W. Bart- lev. J. C. Leonar: . 4, B. Frisbie, Win H . N. Min- . J. E. Minnix, William H. Peck, Dr. G. W. Fisher, O.8. Pumphrey, A. 8. Etzler, Charles Ohm and Mr. Brust. Speeches criticising the action of the schoo! authorities in requesting Mr. Petty’s resignation were made. At 9:30 the ng adjourned and a delegation waited upou Superintendent Powell at his residence. The interview took place at 10:30 o'clock. Mr. P costia since Octo- ber 1, 1872, having been appointed principal by the school board while Mr. Benjamin P. Davis was trustee of the county schools. His friends propose to make a vigorous appeal for his re- tention and have called a meeting for tonight at Judge Armstrong’s office. Mr. Freeman whem seen by a reporter of Tar Srax today stated that he had requested Mr. Petty's resiguation by authority of the euper- intendent and that such resignation was desired for purely business reasons. Nothing of a personal nature, he said, had entered into the matter. It was not incumbent on the superin- tendent even to request a resignation, as teachers were appointed for one year, at the expiration of which the successor might be ap- jointed without other formality. No charges, said, had been preferred against Mr. Perty and the board of trustees as yet knew nothing about the matter. He believed the matter would receive consideration by the board to- morrow evening. He disclaimed any personal hostility to Mr. Petty. In speaking of the case of Mr. Petty Super- intendent Powell said this morning that when he was informed by the supervising principal, Mr. Freeman, that a change ought to be made in that position he merely advised Mr. Free- man as to the proper course to be pursued, namely, that Mr. Hetty be asked to resign. Mr. Poweil added that the superintendent of the schools had no power to dismiss a teacher. Recommendations in regard to the appoint- ment or dismissal of teachers, he said, were made by the local trustees aud acted upon by the entire board. It is alleged as a reason for asking Mr. Petty’s resignation that there is dissatisfactioa with Mr. Petty rmong the patrons of the school, and it is alleged that he is not competent to’per- form the duties of the position. Some of the parents, it is said, have sent their children to othér schools. ‘Tor these reasons, it is stated, a change was determined upon. NorEs. Mr. 8. C. Carpenter, one of the most impor- tant factors in the New York real estate syndi- cate, is visiting Mr. H. A. Linger.

Jas. Alexander was aiso charged, but hq for- feited $5 collateral. ‘fhe game was played on Meridian Hilla week ago and Policeman Rhodes was an inter- ested spectator. At that time he was unable to catch those in the game, but he procured war- rants for them. ‘There was no doubt from the proof that Cole was in the game, and when the officer arrested one of the men he interfered and protested the other man’s innocence. Judge Kimball fined Harris $10 or thirty days, and Cole was fined $8 or twenty¥our days. 4 Criminal for Nearly Forty Years. Jack Reed, one of Iowa's most notorious criminals, died at the poor house at Eldorado, Towa, yesterday. He was sixty-five years old. Since the age of twenty-seven his career has been one of continuous thieving. He was ar- rested twenty-seven times for stealing and was convicted only four times.
