w. j. Coleman, the lumber and tim
Der man from Sabula, was IN Irontor
last Saturday for the first time fol-
some months past. Mr.. Coleman say:
that business in his line at present is
dull, very dull, but an improvement is
hoped for with the advent of spring
anyway.
There is some talk of forming a
stock company for the purpose of en-
deavoring to purchase several of the
lots which suffered by the recent fire,
and put up a large brick building
| which could be used as hotel, store
and Office building. 1t would be most
desirable.
A hundred acres where the commit

for the conference school can be pur-
chased for $25O0. Only ten acres are
required for the school. The remain
ing ninety could be divided into town
lots and sold for enough to pay for all
the land.
Mr.. Warren G. Johnson. who for
several past has been making his home
near Chicago, has returned to Middle
brook, and will make his home there
in the future with his father. Mr..
johnson is an excellent young man
and we are glad to have him as a resi-
dent again.
Mr.. Elsman from Pilot Knob was in
that our old friend, Val. Effinger, has
been on the trail of one certain flock
of turkeys for two months past, and
while out looking for them Monday
secured a bear, hide, meat and all.
This is Mr.. Elsman's story, though.
tits reported that Mr.. S. E. DeHaven,
who was about two years since ap-
pointed to position in the Interior
Department at Washington, has lately
been dropped from the rolls because of
the general reduction in expenses.
We have not been able to trace the re-
port to any definite source, and trust
there is no foundation for it. Mr..
DeHaven is a competent and deserving
yong man, and in evory way fitted for
any clerical position.
Some of the adjusters for the differ |
ent insurance companies have been |
here and settled their losses in the re-
cent fire. One or two have showed a |
to do the fair thing and
then on the other hand some, like most
insurance adjusters, have acted any,
thing but square. The adjusters for
some of the companies have not yet
appeared, probably thinking that the
longer they delay making settlement,
the more the policy holders will need
the money, and perhaps be willing to
j. NJ. Spates, the hotel man at Bis
was here last Wednesday max
ing inquiry for negro by the name of
Heusley who it was supposed had the

Toung fellow by the name of VIM.
was arrested with Golden

ute. He addressed an audience on
he subject at IrontOn last night Of
