Mr.. j. F, Atkinson, of MarshalltOwn,
who has secured the contract for the
erection of Denison's new High School
building, was in town yesterday active
~ pushing the work Of the new build.
ing. Mr.. Atkinson has first class
reputation as a contractor and seems to
70 at the work with the determination
Z to push it as rapidly as possible.
The building brick for the interior
will be furnished by Mr.. Green. while
the mottled brown pressed brick, which
is to give the exterior of the building
such fine appearance, will be supplied
by an Omaha firm.
Mr.. A. j. Gary has secured the con-
tract Tor the excavation and for hauling
the brick. Matt Mill will furnish the
sand necessary.
at a meeting of the board together
with the contractor and supervising
architect the grade of the new building
was established. This grade provides
for four foot cut on the north end of
Of the lot and fill Of about two foot
at the south end. We hope in the near
future to furnish our readers with de-
tailed description OF the plans of the
building, the floor plans, seating capa-
city, etc.
The building promises to be a great
addition to Denison's fine buildings
and we are sure that none Of our voters
will regret that it is to be erected.
The teachers took their examinations
for certificates yesterday and to-day.
1t would seem as if this is almost too
hot weather for one to be examined OH
anything.
We learned from Mrs. Schlumberger
this morning that Mr.. Schlumberger
passed fairly good night and seems to

Rev. and Mrs. F. w. Bateson aud
Miss Lillian Plimpton attended the
Baptist convention at Correctionville
this week. Miss Plimpton read paper
on the Utah missions, which we know
was we'll worth hearing.
Five wagon loads of gypsies struck
town yesterday with the regular para
phernalia of lanky men, brightly
gowned fortune tellers and dirty babies.
The fortune tellers were particularly
busy during the afternoon, and we
suppose everyone in town knows just
what is going to happen to him during
the next year.
A notable sale occurred this week at
the McHenry stock farm. The pur
chaser was w. I'll. Donahue, promi-
nent stock breeder of Iowa county. He
bought the fine prize bull McHenry

The animal is beauty and Mr.. Dona-
hue got full the worth of his money.

Cuban war yesterday. We gave then

found that they were loaded. Th,
souvenirs were three cartridges picke'
up on the battle field of San Juan Hill
One was Krag-J -Jorgensen cartridge
which must have belonged to some on
Of the Rough Riders. The second wa
one of the Mausers, and the third wa
one of the much abused Spfingfel
