The school of Electrical Engineering
and the school of Pharmacy in con-
ncction with Highland Park Normal
College, Des MONIES, Iowa, furnish the
very best of opportunities to be found
in the West for young people to study
Pharmacy in order to become Register
ed Pharmacists, or to study Electrical
Engineering in order to take charge of
Electric Lighting stations. Both de-
partments are as thoroughly equipped
as any schools of the kind in the
country, and the expenses are remark
ably reasonable. Any persons desir-
ing to study these branches should ad-
dress the college for catalogue.
William Jenkins, night watch at the
Chicago, Burlington G. Quincy depot at
his sweetheart, her sister Julia and the
girls mother, at their boarding house
opposite the depot. Josie was instantly
killed. The mother was shot twice
through the thigh and once through
the abdomen. Jenkins then turned
the revolver to his right temple and
shot his brains out, dying instantly.
The cause of the tragedy was jealousy.
Jenkins had been keeping company
with Josie for some time. The previous
night she went out with another young
man of the city and when Jenkins
heard of it it crazed him, with the
awful result above stated. Josie was
shot through the heart, and Julia
through the bowels. The physicians
say all will die.
Fire started in livery barn which
which was formerly the old M. e.
church, at Leon. Five horses were
cremated. The adjoining church lying
north burned down; then it crossed the
street east, burning a livery barn
north, two-story carpenters shop,
then east a blacksmith and wagon
shop, then two buildings, reaching the
southeast corner of the block, where
shoe shop was, then north a two-story
frame building, barber shop, a res
taurant, and another barber shop, then
a millinery store. Here, fortunately,
the fire was checked by a brick build
ing, below which is a drug store, and
above the Leon Reporter Office. This
building and little fire engine of the
town and the heroic work of all the
citizens saved the town from total
destruction. The fire was flying in
every direction. Fire started in a
dwelling, in big feed store and in a
lumber yard, but it was extlnguished.
Another instance of mans perfdy
has come to light in Cedar Rapids. A.
L. Green is tall, handsome travelling
man who sells paint over Iowa, and is
the state. He is hail fellow and
makes friends fast. Five years ago he
lived in Topeka, Kansas, where he was
married, having wife and five child
rem. At that time he was covering
Kansas territory and in his rounds
through the sunhower state he met a
petite little brunette at Salina, a Miss
Lilly Kuhn. After time Green de-
serted his wife and family and came to
Cedar Rapids, bringing with him Miss
Kuhn, whom he introduced as his wife.
They moved in good society, and be-
longed to two or three card clubs, both
being expert whist players. They
were enthusiastic cyclists and attract
| ed considerable attention. A few days
ago Mrs. Green arrived from Topeka,
and after a consultation with the po-
lice swore out warrant charging her
| husband and Miss Kuhn with adultery.
Both were arrested and are now in Jail.
The revelations in the Woodbury.
county court brought out in the bond
injunction suit continue the sensation
of the day. The confession of ex'
Deputy Auditor Roberts shows thai
the robbery of the county by its officials
has continued for several years, anc
the total stealings must amount tt
many thousands of dollars. The cit
liens committee has been as mucl
astonished as anybody over the revela
tions, for they expected to find al
ordinary case of boodling, with some
show of excuses for the actions. None.
has been drawn from the county treas

reason other than that the county OF

brought out is that the records of tn
grand jury witness fees for the pas
two years are missing from the aud
itor's Office. They have been stole1
very recently. There has been mucl
talk of arrests, but all parties impli
