around Upton and vicinity several
weeks and had worked ii short time for
different farmers. One zof them, who
gave his name as G. W. Showers, hired
out to Bert Tracht last week and re-.
imained there until Saturday, when he
borrowed Bert's overcoat and came to-
town. The overcoat disappeared along
with Showers. The fact that the men
were known to be working near Upton
made their game possible. At drst u
was thought that the forgeries were the
work of one man, but when the victims
got together to give description the
authorities realized at once that two
men were implicated. The sheriff has
sent out description Of the two men;
and requested their arrest.
Davenport.
One OF the most extensive real es-
tate deals that has taken place in this
city recently was that which was con-
summated Monday by the John Ochs
Sons, in which Max D. Petersen be-
comes the owner of the valuable prop!
erty at the northwest corner Of Third
and Main streets, known as the I. NJ.
McClelland property. The consideration
was $4,000 in cash. Mr.. Petersen
bought the property at the southwest
corner OF Fourth and Main streets,
something like year or SO ago, paying
for it the sum of $4,000. With this new
acquisition he now possesses property
there with a frontage of 300 feet on
Main street, Ito on Fourth and 100 on
Third street. 1t is Mr.. Petersen's in
tention to improve the property, but ex-
actly what will be done in that line has
not yet been determined.
Sioux City.
School officials in Sioux City have res
iceived from r. C. Barrett, state super
intendent OF public instruction, circu-
lar containing information as to the
Transportation Of pupils The Twenty
eighth general assembly passed law
4 providing for the levying OF special
tax for the purpose of transporting chill
dren where such plan was considered
advisable. and the law is explained in
the circular. Already the system has
been tried in twenty-five counties in
Iowa. The Sioux City district has taken
advantage of the law and carries pupils
| to school to some OF the suburban dis
tricts, altho as matter OF fact this was
done before the law was passed. :

Importance because there are great
many preparations on the market
which are worthless and after the suf-

The attention OF the Iowa press Is re-
called to the fact that Sioux
City expects this week to complete new
school buildings that will give ample
room for its public schools. When the
fall term Of school opened one new
building was not completed and with
out It the school officers found 1t almost
impossible to care for all thes pupils.
Ten years ago Sioux City was credited
with the best equipment Of school
houses in any Iowa city, since then II
has built a 5000 900 high school and sew
eral ward buildings and this year was
unable at the beginning Of the term te
comfortably house all the pupils With
the six additional rooms that will be
brought into service this week the
schools will have enough room at their
disposal for the present year, but BY
another season will require still further
engagements OF facilities. It may moi
be appropriate to add that from 1895 tc
1900 Sioux City had the largest increase
of vote recorded in any Iowa city; In
