P.oonville, Ind., Oct. 22. The Newburgrh hif?Ii swrhool, nvojiiiized as one of the ivnt schools in the southern pr.rt of the state, in a town of 3,000 inhabitants, and the possessor of a commission from the state ivinj; it a four-venr course, will not have a kin pie

graduate this year, although twelve months ago then -were fifteen in tho junior class. Thoy would have been graduated this year if they had remained in the school. Trouble Arist-a from a Whipping. The fact that there would be no graduates this year has lately become known among other schools, and. the turn of events that brought about this Situation is singular. About a year ago, for some act on the part of a male member of the junior class, the boy was whipped by the school superintendent. Samuel I. Purdue, who Is elso principal of the hish school. The chastisement," while not out of place, was not well received by the remaining members, who believed that the boy should have been given the option of some other punishment, such as an apology or even expulsion from the school for a time. Assault Made on the Principal. They believed that their class was .Unjustly degraded by having a member openly whipped. There was an increase in the feeling against the principal, when the class was told plainly that a repetition of the offense -would be similarly dealt with. A few nights afterward the members of the class met the high school principal on the streets and although they did not give

turn a drubbing, his reception was rather unpleasant. Where Were the Parents? The next day the class was told that each member who took part in the affair of that night would be prosecuted. This was on Dec. 15 and that ciny some of the leaders dropped otit. From that time until Christmas the class decreased in numbers and on the day before. . Christmas two girls, the last two members of the class of fifteen, took . the books home.

IlKAHD" IS POOH EVIDENCE It Conies Especially Hard on This Woman Who "Heard" and Failed to Investigate. Martinsville, Ind., Oct. 22.

seven years n.go, Mrs. Williams had

She had also brought suit for support and for services, and both of these cases fivere decided against her.

Survivors from one of the houseboats of the Florida east coast railway extension along the keys tell a harrowing tale of death anddestruetion caused by the storm of Thursday. W. P. Dusenberry, civil engineer in charge of the work on Long key, who miraculously escaped death, arrived here on the Russian steamer Jennie, among other survivors rescued. He says house-

loat No. 4, on which were 150 men, was struck by the storm at 5 o'clock Thursday morning, and was driven into the gulf through Sawk's channel. At 6 o'clock the houseboat began to break up, and as the great waves hit her men. singly and in bunches of two and three, were washed into the sea and drowned. ' Many Were Crashed to Death. Some went below for protection, but when the top of the boat was carried away the waves rushed in and tho boat soon went to pieces, thirty or forty of the men being crushed to death In the collapse, the others grabbing timbers to save them from drowning. Engineer Dusenberry was in the hold, but succeeded in getting a log and! floated until Friday night. On one piece of timber sixteen men were clinging, and nine were hanging to another. The sides of the houseboat were crowded with men. It turned over three times, each time reducing the number. Steamers at Hescne Work. The Russian steamer Jennie sighted) the wreckage and succeeded in rescu

ing tne lorry-nine men, who- were brought here. Three other steamers with searchlights were picking up dead and alive men when the Jennie left the scene. There was another houseboat

Great Damage Done. 4 Salt Lake City, Oct. 22. For twen

ty-four hours this city and vicinity was swept by a wind storm of unparalleled severity. In addition to three serious accidents to persons property over a wide area has been devastated, a fire fanned by the wind has obliterated the new plant of the Utah Packing company. For much of the time the street car service has been at a standstill, and the electric lighting plants out of

commission.

The burning of the TTtah Packing

plant north of the city is the most se

rious single loss. The building had just ben completed at a cost of $100.0?0. and was to have been put in use

in a few days. The project was inaugurated by western cattlemen and

was in opposition to the large packing houses of the east. The cause of the fro has not been explained. Only a small fraction of the los is covered by insurance.

Ruined buildings, fallen chimneys,

broken windows, loosened signs and toppled trees throughout this and adjoining towns are the most common

souvenirs of the storm, and form, in the aggregate, an immease source of loss. The wind attained a maximum

velocity of fifty-two miles an hour. For hours afterward it maintained an

average speed of thirty-eight miles.

The greatest sufferers from injuries

by the storm were Captain William G.

Ca boon and Driver Fred Culbranson, of

the fire department. They were caught

under a falling tree as they were driving to answer a fire alarm. Cahoon suffered both legs broken and Culbranson was injured internally. . Both are in a hospital. Others sustained less

serious injuries fronr falling trees and

short circuited wires. A beautiful monaic window which cost $3,000, in the new Fresbyterian church, was broken to bits; the Grand, a Chinese restaurant on Second South street, was demolished, and the Belmont hotel was unroofed. A freight car in a Short Line train coming from Ogden, was lifted bodily from the tracks. Ogden, Utah. Oct. 22.
