Highland Park Normal College, Des
Moines, Iowa, still continues to lead
all other schools of Iowa in the num-
Der of pupils enrolled for the year.
The fall term opens September 4, and
it is said by those who are in position
to know that the coming year bids fair
to be the most prosperous of any in
the history of the school. 1t is really
one of the great institutions of the
state.
w. j. Turgem, agent of the American
Express Company at Jackson, Neb.,
and also agent of the Northwestern
railroad, transmitted a message for the
Jackson bank to the Sioux National
Bank, of Sioux City, for $1,000 and
| forged message calling for $4,000
more. When the money was sent to
him for delivery he appropriated it and
$500 of the railroad company's money,
| put another man in his place and fled.
| 1t is supposed he went toward Mexico.

destroyed by fire. When first discover
/ ed by Mr.. Collins, the operator, the fire
had entered the waiting room. Seeing
it was approaching with such rapidity,
he had only time to notify the dis
patcher. The agent in the meantime
managed to secure few valuables. 1t
is supposed that the fire was caused by
a spark from the NJ. e. st. L. engine
Several of the trains were delayed until
the fire had abated and some tracking
had been replaced.
Thirty-fve Coxeyites were put off the
Chicago, Milwaukee & st. Paul railway
at New Hampton. They were taken
in charge by Mayor Dandusny and
Marshal Smith and were housed for the
night in the fremen's hall. They are
commanded by Captain Wilson.
Some of them came all the way from
Washington. They tell some wonder
full stories of hardships and adventures
that occurred on the road. They left
home three months ago and are still
bound for Washington, .. c.
A session of the federal court at Keo-
lkulS a few days ago was attended with
sensational features. Again Judge
Woolson showed that he would not
tritie with those railroad men who are
disposed to hold the orders of the court
in contempt. Edward E. BuclSholder,
striking Santa Fe switchman at Fort
Madison, who assaulted Ii. r. Mason,
the man who took his place, was SEN
fenced to thirty days Imprisonment.
r. b. Davis, the Santa Fe operator at
FIT. Madison was sent to Jail for con-
tempt, because he refused to produce
before the grand jury certain kilograms
passing between Debs and the strikers.
A few hours in Jail caused him to re-
lent, and he very penitently complied
with the courts order and was released
on payment of costs.
A disgraceful stabbing ARRAY oc-
Cured on Vine street between Second
and Third streets at Des Moines just
at midnight a few nights ago. As
usual it was over a woman. Her name
is Lizzie Finley. Kilbane, who is about
% years old, and a young man named
III. f. Eckman, were both admirers of
the woman. A dispute arose as to who
was to go off with her, when Eckman
pulled big knife and stabbed Kill
bane five or six times in the back and
then ran. The police were summoned
at once, an alarm sent in for the patrol.
and then they started off for the man
who had committed the deed. They
soon caught him, as he ran down the
railroad tracks, and he was taken to
Jail in the same wagon which conveyed
his victim. A doctor was summoned,
who pronounced the wounds as not
fatal, but it will be some time before
KAbane will be able to get around.
The village of Rowley, nine miles
south of Mason City, was almost en-
tirely consumed by fire, twenty-five
business houses and two dwellings be-
ing reduced to ashes. The total val
uation of the property destroyed is
| $50, 900; insurance, $4,000, in the
Germania, Etna and Continental COM
panies. The fire originated in the
hardware store of Clayton & Norton.
The drippings of oil barrels had
accumulated for years, and when a
lighted match was thrown to the floor
il quickly ignlted and the flames com
municated to the barrels Kegs of
powder were next in the path. Vic
lent explosions ensued and the fire
became general. Among the principal
business houses burned were McLeish
& Brown, general merchandise, loss
$4,000, insurance $4,000; Joseph
Sweeney, general merchandise, loss
$1,000, insurance $4,000; A. f. Bos-
worth, agricultural implements, loss
