Wade, said: "Wien I was East, and while I lay for three weeks in a hospital, I had abundant opportunity to read the New Yorfc dailies. I found that Judge Wade's speech in Congress received more attention and wais more widely quoted and referred to In the big papers of that city than the speeches of any other man in Congress at the same time.

High School Equipment Mutt Changed--Board Matter- Other Business is Transacted by rectors. Possible danger lurks in the new high school, In case of fl.ro, jf th p'Csent equipment of fire escapes i n-jt changed, according to Fire War den Louis Messner.

Chief Messner would not appror the new fire escapes on the high school building, which were to erected under his direction, and i'o reported to President Hemmer the Board, of Education. The president, in turn, told the board thereof, at its Interesting meet Ing last night The directors then de cided to hold up the pay for the flre escapes, which amounts to a couple hundred dollars. Several additions, changes as to an cborage, were suggested by th chief, and the board may decide to order these things. The proposed ad ditlonal work will be done for 124, bj G. Schmidt, if his bid, made last night, is accepted.

The board transacted quire a bit other business last night. Director J. W. Rich, who lias been "under the weather" for the past raoath, attend ed his first meeting in that time am his usual interest in affairs, after le received a cordial welcome from confreres.

The board will withhold tbe Mance due the company until every hing is in perfect order, as by the contract provided. About $600 is still back. The board approved a'l of Superin- endent Stevenson's recommendations, nd thus Miss Josephine Krorta, a upply teacher iof merit, will taks Miss Crockett's place in tbe South chool. Miss Crockett will fill the iost vacated temporarily by Miss Lou ftoltz who has a leave of -absence ot wo months, being quite ill. Her post in the Grammar school.

The superintendent also received an reply to his request in be- of the city teachers, who would attend the convention of the So-uth- ern Iowa Teachers' association in tTuscatlne, -on April I and 2. This vacation is really to take the lace of the visiting day, annually ranted the instructors in the city chool and the latter holiday will be cut oft the list this year. Oddly enough the teachers will have but one actual working day free, as the first of April fails on but they are given Saturday, of course, and, in pinch, can crowd in three days and four nights, by leaving here Thursday evening and returning to work Monday morning. Bills amounting to nearly were allowed, and tuition, amounting to was acknowledged.

books, supplies, etc. was referred to the proper committeemen and the superintendent. Supt. Stevenson reported that all the teachers were now at their post of duty except Miss Folte, and the past month has seen but few absences (on account of sickness, death, etc.) Arrangements for holding the coming election were discussed. The "battle of will be no battle at all--will be held in the old high school.

The board spent a social half-hour before adjournment was taken, and aid its respects to the abundant supply of apples and oranges brought to the meeting room by Supt. Stevenson. Two Men in Store--It Attacked, But Them Offi--Much Cloth. In Stolen, but More Is Saved. Bald burglars broke into Speldel'a Clothing store last night, were met face to lace by Homer Speidel, balked in their designs, in part, but attacked the young man, overthrew him, and made away with about worth- of goods.

Garments worth more than $1,000 were roughly handled and several hundred dollars' worth was prepared SCHOOL FIGHT SEEMS LIKELY LIBERTY TOWNSHIP ROAD TAX IS OPPOSED. County Superintendent it in Doubt aa to Certain May be Engaged. County Superintendent H. Lau- genberg is "up a stump" in reference to a vexatious problem that has been presented to him to solve. He received a communication yes terday from prominent people In Liberty township, Informing him that there was a fight on against tbe school road tax voted at the annual meeting last year.

The tax amounted to about (575, and was certified up to the county tor removal, Just before the discov- au(litor dul)r it was put on the books and was partly paid-Into the treasurer's coffers. property owners of that township are still 'paying the tax, as it was assessed against them, and Mr. Reese has quite a bit ot the tax in hand now. The men who favored the tax want the superintendent to do something to prevent the upheaval of the ac tion. The threatened upheaval is due for the comng election, in a few days.

Mr. Langenberg is in doubt as to whether the voters can or cannot revoke the action, taken last year. Some of the opponents ot the measure declare that the call last year did not include an announcement that this proposition was to be voted on (at the annual election) when the notices were posted. The county superintendent does not know whether such announcement was In it or not. However, if it were not, the defect may be fatal.

The state superintendents. up to a few years ago, said this was not a fatal omission, but a ruling ot the supreme court, made in 1902, holds, that a tax Is not legal unless it was mentioned in the call. Assuming that the opponents of the tax levy find that they ace in the right about its legality, the superintendent does not know just what they can do, now that the tax has been paid In part. Mandamus and injunction proceedings have been discussed, but the superintendent has decided to tell the men on both sides of the fence that tney will do well to see attorneys, in stead of depending on his judgment. The road, over which the battle is anticipated, runs from the Indian Grove school house, north on the section Iimj, miles, where it intersects the road running Bind west through Ben Accord, More than fourteen acres are touched, and the farms of Charles Gross, J.

G. Manser and Joseph Heitzman are crossed. The balking of the bold burglary was as good as an intervention of Providence, for almost any other night would have seen the criminals successful. George Speidel, the owner of tbe store, and hie brother, Homer, left the place a rather late been detained by a customer. Ordinarily, they would not have returned until this morning, as the early closing agreement Is in force now.

However, they had decided to decorate the display windows, and accordingly they came back early, Homer arriving at 7.07, and George shortly afterwards. Doubtless, the rogues who invaded the store, whether "home talent" gentry or not, knew of this early closing pact, for they must have made their attack on the store immediately after the owner and Homer left. At any rate, within three-quarters of an hour, they had pried open the tin-lined shutters of wood, barricading Jie east windows in the back wall, and had raised the window, clambered into the room, rummaged all over the store, carried hundreds of dollars' worth of trousers, overcoats, vests, etc. back to the rear portion of the store, and had filled three telescopes to overflowing, and were at work on another. The loaded telescopes were so tight- packed with high-grade goods, that the very buckles had been torn off in one case, and the burglars had knotted the leather straps, tying the receptacles shut thus.

When Homer entered the store, it was dark, except for the little glow shed by the globes in the display windows. These did not illuminate the ack of the store sufficiently to permit an identification of the form that ooined up big in the semi-gloom in he rear. Homer called: "George," thinking it was his brother, rather put- led by the man's size--and a moment ater, by the fact that two men were mrtly visible. Receiving no reply, he started baelc, and then he saw one man dart to and hrougli the window, while the I-or- vard man crossed the room from east west to meet him. The more daring burglar then grap- led with the young man, clenched is bands around Homer's throat and lug his knuckles into the fearless outh's "Adam's apple." Thus cbok tig the defender of the store into si- ence, the fellow hurled him back nd down, probably hoping to knock i FLOOD SALE Now is the Time to Get Anything in the Clothing line at a Big Reduction.

Marshall Scott Wilson chanced to be a few yards away and he rushed quickly to the scene of the burglary. Speedily getting "next" to the facts, he started in quest oi the rottbers, but they had vanished out of the alley, and the neighborhood. One of the men, however, had left an overcoat behind--his own, probably--though the fellow had carried off some splendid articles. The abandoned garment contained a pipe, etc. but whether the police can get the fellow identified through his possessions is a question Mayor Stebbins sent a colored tramp to jail yesterday, and ordered his partner out of town.

So far as Homer's identification, goes--and his description, of course, is short on account of the semi-darkness--the man who choked him seems to be the blaelt The police have not; the fellow, however, altho-igh they have kept a close watch on all trains from a few seconds after the burglary was discovered. Officer Prank Suk has recovered a valuable cravenette, which he found near Tetter's back door, where the bulglars evidently dropped it in their rush.

Nomad's "pal." yet rounded up Miss Rachel Pattl Maxon delighted an that never seemed to weary of listening to her, in the Presbyterian church last evening. Encore after encore was given the gifted reader, whose selections were remarkably fine without exception.

Miss Maxon, in her "repertoire" flits from the pathetic and dramatic to the intensely humorous, with the ease of the experienced actress. She has a commanding stage presence; a mobile, flexible voice; graceful, easy gestures and a force and fire in the dramatic numbers that are the possessions of t'he true Thespiair only. Miss Maxon, in a word, seems to be in a class by herself, as a reader, amd her recital takes on tbe tone and caliber of a high class drama or comedy. Manager Atkinson is to be thanked fior giving the people of Iowa City an opportunity to hear so pleasing a reader. Miss Maxon was assisted in entertaining, last evening, by Miss Alice McGee, whio sang with wonted skill, and Mr.
