Common School Education, Longer—Some Facts and Figures From the City Bchools. The fact that but ome boy has been graduated from the high school in two years, while about sixteen girls have won that honor, directs attention to the fact that fow boys avail themselves of the full advantages offered by the public schools. Many queries naturally arise as to causes and remedies, and the facts and figures should excite thought and lead to action of some sort. The census shows that there are about an even number of boys and girls of the school age. In the lower departments, the primary rooms especially, this proportion is pretty well maintained, but as they advance the boys drop out much more rapidly than the girls. Taking the statistics of the school on the big hill, and the Bloomer building, it appears that of those entering the grammar department at the beginning of the school year there were 66 boys and 66 gle Among the lower classes in that grade we find 51 boys and 56 girls in attendance during the year, but (lnrinf the lost month only 40 boys and 49 girls, In the next grade higher, in the grammar de- partment, there were 51 boys and 52 girls in attendance during the year, but the last month’s report shows 32 boys and 44 girls, In the next higher grade, the B grade, there were during the year 37 boys and b4 girls, but the lnst month \ly 22 boys and 42 girls, In the A grade, still higher grade, of the gram- mar department, there were during the {unr 28 boys to b8 virls, and during the nst month of the year only 19 boys to 43 girls, Thus it is_seen that in the grammar department the boys drop out of school in much greater numbers than do the Many of these boys probably end opping out, years of age, and with only a knowledge of the fundamentals of arith- metic, able to write a fair hand, to read intelligently the more ordinary and com- monplace literature, knowing “somethin, of local geography and with some genes ideas of the countryat large, and able to construct common English sentences.

Sheriff Dan Farrell arrived here . terday from Colorado, bringing with him a8 & prisoner a man named Jasper Clau- sen, whom he arrested for murder com- mitted nearly six years ago. Many still remember the crime, it being the murder of two men, Doran & Tynan, who were running a quarry, and the purpose being robbery. The men were shot as they were going along the highway, three or four miles below Pacific Junction, the murderers waylaying them, and after killing them robbed them, getting §130 and a watch from one of them. This was on July 11th, 1877. A man named McCreary was arrested soon after and found guilty and is now serving a life sentence in the penitentiary. Some sus- picion fell upon Clausen ‘as being Me- Cleary's partner in the bloody transaction, but there seeming to be a lack of evidence to confirm the suspicion, he was not ar- rested, Clausen moved into Fremont county and soon after %ut into another ncrn{n: and was sentenced to three years in the {;cnitentinry for assault with intent to kil Having served his time he moved out to Colorado, and for the pust year has been living at Boulder City, “where he has heen teaming. ately some discoveries have been made which, it is claimed, surely establishes the fact that he took part with McCleary in the murder of the two men near Pecific Junction, and information was filed charging him with the crime, and Sheriff Farrell has taken him on that. He left with his prisoner last evening for Glenwood. Sheriff Middleton, of Harrison county, accompanied Sherift Farrell on this Col- orado trip, and brought back something in his gamebag, too. His prisoner is named George McIntyre, and he is wanted for stealing a team of horses about two years ago.

It wasn't as pleasant a surprise as ho expected. The poor little woman suddenly aroused, shrieked and serieked again before she could realize that it was her George stead of some strange man.

Investigation into the matter convinces us that one of the most equitable, reason- able and feasible plans of building houses is that proposed and_in operation by the Mercantile Loan, Trust and Improve- |-~ ment company of this city. By invest- ing in shares in this institution, which is backed by some of our best and most re- liable business men, it becomes possiblo and comparatively easy for a man of moderate means to secure a comfortable home for himself and family. In taking a certain number of shares, at a certain monthly payment, in a few years a man can own & house of his own for about the same as Lo pays monthly for rent. We believe the Mercantile Loan and Trust company, by organizing and opening up for business, have filled a long felt want in Council Bluffs. Their plans and of loans will bear the most care- ful scrutiny and examination, and we have no_hesitancy in_ pronouncing them reasonable and equitable, and backed by [ and th gentlemen of honor and integrity.
