For several years pas, there has been
much complaint of all kinds OF ;hievery

thing that was portable. Young trees
that had just been set out formed a
habit of walking away during the silent

catch the thieves in the act were uusuc-
cessful.
Finally James A. Anderson. a Well
known farmer. marked new lot Of
peach trees in secret manner. and soon
after the twenty-five young trees dis
appeared. The missing trees Were dls-
covered in David Roscums : orchard, on

bought from man who claimed that he
was in need, and if the property was
stolen, the man who sol,, it to Rosculn
must be the thief or be able to give the
information that will lead TO his discov-

Grinnell June 10.-The completed
plans for the opera house are now in the
hands of the board of directors Of the
corporation. Every detail is finished
and bids will soon be advertised for a
melting of the board was held this after
noon, and q final consultation held with
Architect Hallett. No change of import
ance has been made In the plans, which
We're outlined in this column some time
since. The work of tearing down the
building which stands on the opera
house site is progressing rapidly, and
by the time the season opens Grinnell
will have as complete and adequate a
play house as any town in Iowa.
An opportunity for profitable invest
ment is offered to any one who will
build comfortable dwellings in Grinnell
There Is not vacant house in the town
and many are now occupying cheap ten
ements who would be glad to get some
thing better if 1t could be obtained. The
better class of dwellings attract the
more profitable tenants. and al! the
houses which have lately been built for
rent have been rented before the foun-
dations were even completed. Several
families who have been attracted here
on account of exceptional social and ed
ucational advantages have been COM
PEELED to look elsewhere by reason of the
fact that suitable houses could hot be
obtained. On the other hand 1t may be
said that the scarcity of builders alone
prevents the erection of at least three
good houses this season. There is an
almost unprecedented demand for me-
chanics in the building line, and skilled
labor finds ready employment.
