CROWDED
More Pupils Enrolled at the Various
Buildings Than Ever

Efforts Being Made to Readjust
Matters and Find Room
For All.
kindergarten Quarters May Be
Rented Additions to Buildings
Necessary Next Year.

A proof that Marshalltown is enjoy
ing a very healthy growth-if proof
were needed-is in the increased attend
ance in the public schools, which have
just opened. The fact is that the schools
are considerably overcrowded and the
school board realizes now that an addi-
ton should have been built to at least
one of the buildings during the vacation
period just closed.
Superintendent Willard and members
OF the board have been trying to relieve
the somewhat chaotic state into which
the schools have been thrown as a re-
suit of this increased attendance and
lack of room. In one or two instances
lit has been necessary during the open
ing week to divide some of the grades
and hove half attend in the forenoon
and half in the afternoon. This is not
a desirable plan, however, and some
thing will be done to enable the stu
dents to secure the full advantages of
the schools.
The present plan is to rent rooms in
the west central portion of the city for
the kindergartens of the Third ward
and Arnold school buildings and per-
haps portion of the Second ward kim
dergarten. BY this arrangement room
would be made for classes of the sixth
and seventh grades in the Third ward
and Arnold buildings.
The exact enrolment for this year has
not been determined, owing to the UNI
settled condition due to the oyercrowd-
ing and because the transfers to be
made to relieve this have not been com
pleted. Some of the grades in the diff
ferent buildings are not crowded, anC
pupils in the same grades are being
transferred from the buildings where
the Accommodations are not adequate
This entails considerable work ane
causes more or less dissatisfaction t.
the pupils, some of whom prefer attend
ling school at certain buildings. Sucf
pupils are transferred as reside neares

Spiritualistfo Enthusiasts Believe
the Mediums Could Capture
Murderers
Trying to Induce the Sheriff to In
woke the Aid ofthe Spirits
In the Search.
Mrs. Folsom Says She is on the
Track and Will Reveal Names
At q Private Sitting.

For the past two days some OF the
enthusiastic believers in spiritualism
have been interviewing Sheriff McPher-
son with the hope of inducing that Off
cial to call the spirits-through the me-
diums in attendance at the campmeet-
ing Of the Central Iowa Spiritualists'
Association--to his aid in Identifying
and capturing the murderers of Brake
men Wilson and Matthews. So far the
sheriff has not seen his way clear to at
tempt to secure a clue from that source,
but one of the mediums has already
made q start
Mrs. Josie K. Folsom, of Springfield,
Mo-, is the medium who referred very
briefly to the murder at the test seances
Friday night. Mrs. Folsom is nervous
little woman while in her trance, which
is explained, however, by the fact that
her spirit control, "Effie'' the one from
whom she receives her directions,
passed away with st. vitus' dance.
There were many in the audience who
wished Mrs. Folsom had continued along
the lines that she began, but as the
lady afterwards explained 1t, there was
some one III lne duQlenCe VINO WOul0
have been aggrieved over the revela-
tions she received. Mrs. Folsom began
by saying that she saw train moving
rapidly out Of the city-a freight train,
and she motioned in the direction of the
scene OF the crime on the night Brake
men Wilson and Matthews were MUIR
ldered. With the letter &C." as she re-
ceived It, she stopped. saying the muir
derer's name began with that letter.
After the seance Mrs. Folsom said that
her mouth was closed by her spirit con-
troll as ii some ones hand had been sud-
denly clasped over it. She said she knew
that scene would be caused in the
tent If the entire revelation were given,
consequently the withdrawal of the
subject. She advised private sitting
for further information, although she
informed President Vail this morning
that she hao tried to get the murderers
name, but SO far had been unable to do
lso.
| Now IL the sheriff or one Of his depu-
| ties will take that private sitting and
will tell the whole story to the T.-R
this paper will pay the expense of the
sitting. The story would be interesting,
at the least.

The Frudden Lumber Company Has
Big supply.
Those of our citizens who have not
placed their orders for their supply of
hard coal for the winter, should do so
at once and take advantage Of the pres

expected soon. The Frudden Lumber
Company has a large supply of the best
Pennsylvania coal, which was bought
early In the season and at much lower
prices than 1t could be had for at the
present time. They have not advanced
the price, but are selling at the same
rate as before the advance. IL you
want the best coal for the least money,
leave your order with the Fruden Lum-
Der Company. they will do the rest.
