MAD DOG.
Rabid Animal Causes Excitement i'm
the West End

Quite an excitement was created in
the west end of town yesterday by
the report that mad dog was loose
in the neighborhood. Men, women
and children were constantly on the
look out and speedily gained places
of safety at the first appearance of
the animal. The news was sent into
police headquarters and Ed. O'Brien
was sent to shoot the dog. The chase
proved to be long one, for the dog
ran into the southwest part of town,
lodging through alleys and over
fences at pace that kept Ed.
hustling. Trees, posts, curbstones
and everything that came in the
way were viciously attacked by the
frenzled animal and people scattered
in all directions. Not until First
avenue was reached on the return
trip were the persuers able to get a
shot at the dog, but when they did
his career was soon ended. The
animal belonged to Frank Allen. No
special reason is known for bis going
mad.

PAVE THE YARDS.
B. & W. Invest S., 900 in Station
Improvements.

The B & w. Ry. station yards be-
tween High and First avenues are to
be greatly improved by being paved
with brick. The cost of the improve
ments and the changes that will be
made to accommodate them will be
in the neighborhood of So 900
The crossings of theroad with High
and First avenues have been planked
ever since the paving was put in and
the planking has been maintained by
the road at considerable expense an
nually. The planking has to be re-
paired every spring and practically
relaid. The road will now put in the
brick paving over these crossings and
be rid of the expense of the annual
repairs. In addition to the paving of
the crossings the entire yard space
between High and First avenues is to
be brick paved. There is an open
court at the north end of the station
house that is used by the omnibuses
and baggage wagons, and similar
court south of the station house that
is utilized by the freight drays, that
will be thus perma nently lifted out of
the fathomless mud that has greatly
hindered business and the movement
of freight this spring. Theplatforms
around the station will be repaired
and somewhat extended to accommo-
date the nature of the improvement.
The open space between the tracks
on the east of the station used by the
express aud mail rigs will be paved.
Brick has been ordered for the i'm
provement from the Oskaloosa Paw
ing Brick Company and is now being
delivered upon the ground. Three
hundred thousand brick were ordered
for the first part of the Improvement
and second large order will be given
to complete the work.
The work is in charge of Roadmas-
ter j. 7. Sheahan who will begin the
work as soon as there is sufficient
material on hand to keep the gang
going, land will push it to completion.
The Improvement will be great
one, for this part of the yards is a
veritable mud hole during wet wealth
er in all seasons of the year. The
change will be greatly appreciated by
the patrons of the road.

SCHOOL CASE.
Supt. Dodds Has a District Prob
lem to Settle.

County Superintendent J.P. Dodds
has a school case that will be tried
before him Wednesday next, April
30. The case is brought about by
peculiar combination of circumstan-
ces and the outcome viii be watched
with considerable interest. The case
comes before the Mahaska county
superintendent, but there are num-
Der of Poweshiek people interested
In the decision.
Some time ago the people of
Barnes City decided to form an indie
pendent school district and to es-
tablise school therein. There were
a number of nearby residents, prop
erty holders and taxpayers, joined
with the people of Barnes City in
forming the district. The new indie
pendent district went to work and
voted bonds for new building that
was to accommodate them and the
Poweshisk county residents that had
come into the district.
Now comes Thomas F. Williams
and others of the Poweshiek county
part of the district and state that
they do not desire to be part of the
district, but that they wish to be
separated again and to go hack to
their former methods.
Mr.. Williams is represented by
Captain Carr, of Montezuma, and the
Barnes City district will have their
part of the case presented by Judge
Lewis, of Montezuma, and I.C.John-
son of this city.
