Ernest Shellhorn, 17-year-old son of George A. Shellhorn, 1512 Sixth avenue, Council Bluffs, hunting at Lake Manawa yesterday afternoon, was tne victim of an accident which may cost him his life. He took his gun out of a boat with the muzzie pointed toward him, the trigger caught in a seat and the entire charge entered the young man's side and breast under the left arm. Young Ehellhorn was shooting from the bank of the lake in the vicinity of the clubhouse and had placed his gun in a boat drawn up on the bank while he tied a duck he had just shot. Noticing his gun was slipping into water in the bottom of the boat, he made a grad for it and caught it by the muzle. The trigger caught in one of the soats and the gun was discharged. The boy staggered towards the clubhouse several hundred yards before he dropped. Frank Hawkins, a 15-year-old lad living near the lake, heard the shot and saw Ehellhorn drop. He burried to the wounded lad, who asked Hawkins to get him a drink of water, which he did, and then assisted him to the clubhouse. A telephone message was sent to the city for a physiclan. Drs. Treynor and Water- man at once went to the lake end, after temporarily dressing the boy's wound, re- moved him In Cutler's ambulance to the Woman's Christian Assoclation hospital. Al Kittle, a farmhand near Honey Creek, suffered the amputation of his left arm Wednesday night at St. Bernard's hospital as the result of a shooting accldent. Kittle went to the lake Tuesday evening to shoot ducks and was pulling his gun from his buggy with the muzzle toward him when it was discharged. The charge shattered the arm so that it had to be amputated midway between the shoulder and the el- bow. Kittle Is a Canadlan, 21 years of age and has only been a short time in this coun< try.

Of the city school teachers 135 reglstered yesterday in addition to the ar- rivals from out of town. Among the notable arrivals yesterday were: President George E.

Sheakley, Des Molnes; President Willlam H. Beardshear, lowa Agricultural college, Amee; Hon. R. C. Barrett, Des Molnes, state superintend- ent of Instruction; President W. A.

The general sessions are held in he auditorlum of the new High school. , Superintendent Rothert of the lIowa School llnr the Deaf has extended an invitation to the tecchers to visit that institution before leaving the city. The opening session last night attracted an audlence that filled the auditorium. Ad- 1 dref were made by President Seerley of | the State Normal school and President MacLean of the State university.

Methods are good enough as far as they go. but they do not go far by themselves. They are not the thing hat makes the efficient teacher. Bchools are more than piaces to practice devices of teaching. Their efliclency goes further than the formalities.

There is no escape from needing a good teacher in the school If the work Is to be a reality. The good teacher makes the reality. The great crime againat youth perpetunied by our educational systems Is the endeavor to get along without the vital factor found in the human element. Prosident MacLean of the State university spoke on “American Schools and Anarchy." He sald: | Lawlessness s tolerated by the state. In |18 therefore natural that the school lacking the use of authority finds it difficult to maintain discipline, “Patrons secure favors | for petted children both in public and pri- vate schools. Each school has for jts ends the plea that the local community hay unlque demands. "In'lowa ope of the most difficult problems Is the unification of the fehoor Jystem. This s the outgrowth of the fundamental American philosophy of exireme individualism. veryone for him- self has been not only the law of competi- tion, but the law of American lifa.

Joe Blake, George Wllllams and Tom Fleming, three prisoners who were released from the county jail yesterday morning after serving a sentence for stealing four cks of barley from a Northwestern freight car, devised an ingenlous plan for replen- jshing their exchequers. The three men, who belong to the vast army of hoboes, were without shirts when the time came for them to go out into the world agaln ana they demanded that Jailer Martia furnish them the necessary clothing before he turned them out. Martin sent them to the county avditor. The three filed into Auditor Innes’ office and demanded that he provide them with a shirt cplece. “I'm not running a dry goods store,” replied Mr. Innés, “and as far as [ know the county Is under no obligation to clothe Its prisoners when they are re- leased.” The spokesman for the trio told the county auditor they had been sent to him by the jaller. Mr. Innes told them that if the jaller wanted any supplies he should apply for them In person. In the end, at the request of Jaller Martin, an order on a local dry goods store was given for the shirts and the men secured the garments. Instead, however, of wearing them they hastened to the nearest pawnshop and sold them for 30 cents aplece. Decree in Land Sait, A supplemental order and decree issued by Judge Green in the suit of E.

OTTUMWA, Ia., Oct. 31.—~(Special Tele- gram.)—Sherift G. E. Climmie of Appanoose county has been suspended from office by a decislon of Judge Roberts of Ottumwa. which was promulgated today. The case arose as a result of the recent Indictment of Sheriff Climmie by the Ap- panoose county grand jury, charging him with malfeasance in office. R. B. Vermilla of Unionville, Appanoose county, was ap- pointed acting sheriff in Climmie's place during his term of suspension by Judge Roberts. The case l¢ one which caused consider- able talk all over southern lowa and is entitled State of lowa by E. M. Probasco, County Attorney, vs. G. E. Climmle, Sheriff. The state's attorney filed a petition charg- ing that the sheriff was guilty of corrup- tion In office and accusing him of trying to unduly influence certain jurors while en- gaged at the September term of court dur- ing the time they were considering the fluding of an Indictment against him. It is charged that he approached two or threa members of the grand jury and tried to persuade them not to return an indletment against him; that he tried to find out what evidence was being Introduced against him: that he clalmed two of the grand jury were fixed and had come to fix him. It also charged bim with willful misconduct in office and stated that while he had chare: of the grand jury as sheriff after it had returned indictments agalost him, cursed them, abused them and traduced certaln members of the grand jury on ac- count of its officlal acts. The petition asked that he be suspended during time of trial of the cases agalost him. The court held that there was reasonable ground that jurors might be embarrassed by reason of nis position as sheriff if he be allowed to act during sald term of court and dur- 1 the time of the trial of the cases against him, DES MOINES, Ta., Oct. 31.—(Speclal Tele- gram.)--Sherifft Climmie of Appanooss county was today removed from office by the district court, pending trial on a charge of conspiracy and malfeasance in office.

SPENDS YEARS IN PRSON AND ASYLUM Is Free at Lost to Start Investigation of His Alleged Kidnaping and Confinement by Persecutors (From DES MOIM , Oct. 31.—(Special.)- rkable story is told here by J. C. Faust, formerly a farmer of Marshall county, which, it fully substantiated, would indicate that he has been the vicitm of a terrible conspiracy, which included sending him to the, penitentiary on falee charges and sub- sequent kidnaping and incarceration in an insane hospiial. Faust lived on a big farm in Marshall county & few years ago. In 1897 his house, barn and all his property wero burned, the fire catching about 5 o'clock In the morn- ing. His wife was visiting at the time with relatives in Cedar county and Faust -A re- until late In the evening and alleges that here over night. Despite strong proofs that he actually was in Des Mofnes at the time of the fire, Faust was arrested, indicted, tried, convicted of arson and sentenced to the penitentiary for three years. At the time Faust was sent to the penitentiary be bad some suits pending against the Northwestern Rallroad com- pany for damages, one on account of house- hold goods burned in a car and the other for damages for injuries by being thrown off a train. After he was sent to the peni- tentfary the suits went against him by de fault. Supposed to Have Killed Himself, Faust was released June 4 of last year from the penitentiary at Fort Madison. Nothing was heard of him for some time and his wife had continued to live with | her parents at Clarence, in Cedar county, and supposed that after Faust's release he | had either killed bimself or been " killed accidentally, The next heard of the case was & year ago, when a tramp gave a sealed letter to Postmaster Munger of Waterloo and then digappeared. The letter stated that the writer, C. F. Rawlins, had actually set fire to the Faust property, gave the proper date and many detal known to be correct, stated that Rawlins and & tarmhand named Johnson had taken the horses and $375 in money belonging to Faust; that Rawlins had ridden his horsc into Illinois and sold it, stating that the testimony against Faust on which he was convicted was false and the result of a conspiracy to get Faust out of the way and | the writer offered to go on the stand and | make a full confession, It guaranteed Im- munity. Therg was much mystery about the letter and no explanation. The letter also stated that Faust was then in confinement in Chi- cago. Today Faust arrived in Des Moines to consult a lawyer, and he tells a strange tale of his experiences. He relates that when he was released from the penitentiary he was notified that he was wanted for per- jury; that he was seized by three strangers, who took him over into Illinols in a buggy; that he was placed on the cars and taken o Chicago and confined in jail several weeks; that later he was sent into Indlana, then to TiMn, O., handcuffed and closely guarded, and finally was consigned to the Ohio State Asylum for the Insane at Toledo, and was kept among the incurable insane. He broke away twice and was recaptured, but abowt & month ago got loose in and wanderod back to lowa, | Mount Vernon, November 7 to 10 next. Like a Resurrection. His wife was astonished at meeting him alive, as she had mourned him as dead and bad never been able to uid out what be- came of him after his release from the peni- tentfary. The fact of his having been in the Insane hospital at Toledo has been con- firmed by inquiry from there, and much of | his story, fs corroborated by other evidence. He appears lo be perfectly sane and con- nlllll’d his attorney with a view to causing a tull investigation to be made of the o Faust stood well in Marshall county and 'n Cedar county, was a prosperous farmer, had a beautiful young wife and is n man of edu- cation and good character. The story he tells is almost Incredible, but there are so many facts to confirin it and to substantiate the confession of the mysterious tramp atd Waterloo, that Faust's statements are gen- erally belleved by those who know him here. Cammins Goes Out Again. A. B. Cummins had so far recovered from his lliness and loss of voice that he today went to Maquoketa to deliver a speech this evening. It is expected he will make only very short addresses the re- mainder of the campalgn, as he has but a few speaking dates. Some trouble havin, arisen here over an lnvitation by the Grant club to Hon. Robert G. Cousins to addre the club Saturday evening, a compromise has becn effected by making the meeting one in the Auditorium aud all will be wel- come. Former Governor Frank Jackson, who strongly opposed the nomination of Cummins for governor, has consented to preside at the Cummins meeting in the Auditorium on Monday evening. Of for Teachers’ Meeting. Superintendent Barrett of the state de- partment of public Instruction et to Council Bluffs this afternoon to attend the meeting of the Southwestern lowa Teach- ers’ aseoclation. These district meetings of teachers have become a regular feature of educational lite in Towa and all held this year have been largely attended. Coburn of the Kansas depart- jculture has written Secretary Vau Houten’that he will be unable to at- tend the annual meeting of the lowa de- partment in December and read a paper. | He was expected as one of the principal contributors to the program. State ¥ A, The state committee of the Young Women's Christian assoclation had a meet- ing in Des Moines today and outlined the work which it i proposed to lay before the state assoclation at the annual meeting in The most important work which the committes will recommend to the general assoclation will be that relating to the organization of local circles In the smaller towns of the state, auxillary to the large assoclation work. The assoclation will be asked to make such changes In the constitution as w. . Plans, may be necessary to permit afiliation of the | smaller circles with the assoclation. It wag also decided that the assoclation should be asked to call for a contribution of 7 cents for cach member from each of the thirty-one Young Women's Christlan ass soclation eircles of the state as a yearly contribution to the work of the national Young Women's Christian assoclation, and 5 cents per capita for the world's work. Heretofore all the assistance given these soclation and has not be state association will be for the use of the committee during the next year.
