East Madison improvements.

Klaumann, Hobart and Beck are
getting- ready to do their improving
on east Madison avenue where the fire
burned hole. Mr.. Hobart started to
build and then found that the adjoin-
ing buildings abutted on his lot. Now
the difficulties have been removed and
all three will build and improve.
Klaumann and Hobart will build a
joint wall of brick 50 feet long and
Mr.. Klaumann will continue it to the
rear of the lot. Mr.. Beck and Mr.
Hobart will do the same thing to the
west. Mr.. Klaumann will cover his
lot with brick buildings, as has been
told in the REGISTER: Mr. Hobart will
build a two-story brick, with two
rooms on the floor; Mr.. Beck will put
a new plate glass front inhis building
And it will look well to have the hole
filed and the buildings all repaired
and put in shape.

the construction of the new third ward
school building, according to the
plans and specifications of j. II. Nave.
Overmyer q Williamson, of this city,
secured the contract for S11, ,797.00.

The contract was let, as advertised,
to the lowest bidder and went to the
first named contractors, who will be
required to give a good bond for the
carrying out of the plans and specifi-
cations.
The new building will be an eight
room structure of pressed brick, and
will occupy the six lots between Wal
mt and Chestnut and just south of
Vine street. 1t will face on Walnut
where the main entrance will be, an
other door facing Chestnut. There
will be a large basement in which the
heating and ventilating plants and
dry closets will be located. The build
ing will be handsome and graceful of
outline and the elimination ofthe third
entrance will give larger rooms, a
fact discovered in the north building,
which also will be built with only east
and west doors.
The architect is working on the
plans for the north building to take
the place of the burned one and every
effort will be made to have both com
pleted this summer, and once more
lola will be one of the best equipped
towns in the state in the matter Of
school facilities.

A Guest Pusxler.

In one OF the old castles of northern
England visitors are shown two rooms
which are connected with each other by
singular mechanism. Each room is ad.
Joined by an alcove, used as a sleeping
room apartment, and the floors OF the ad.
joining alcoves turn on pivot in the cen.
ter Of the partition wall.
This ingenious device was the invention
OF one of the ancestors OF the present pro.
prietor, who was somewhat Of wag,
and found great pleasure in frightening
and mystifying his guests
When one had gone to bed in the green
room and the other in the blue, the floors
were turned on their pivots, and on
awakening the visitor found himself in
strange quarters. with clothes that were
not his own.
It Is said that this fun loving lord lost
2 rich inheritance by disturbing the rest
full moments of wealthy aunt, who new
er forgave the trick her nephew played
upon her.

DRoUTH AND PROSPERITY.

The drouth In this locality has been
discounted by advance in price on ev-
erything the farmer has to sell, even
straw is being sold and shipped at al
most the former price of hay. The man
who has potatoes or tomatoes for sale
may wear diamonds Hogs and cattle
sell as never before since war times.
This is prosperity to all. The man who
wants q job can get 1t and none need go
hunrgy. as the crop, especially corn far
exceeds anything hoped for during the
last weeks of that blazing hot sunshine.
Trade of all kinds should be good be-
cause Of such fine prices for farm pro-
ducts. No one should feel the least dis
couraged for times cannot fail to be
good. The shortage in feed is being met
with corn binders that will for the next

farm which lives prudent farmer and
there are host of them in Iowa who
have had timely notice of the necessity
for storing feed.

pressed it az their private opinion that
he was simple. Upon the question Of
his mental responsibility will depend
largely the action Of the grand jury.
which will probably spend two more
days before a final decision Is reached,
County Attorney Miller. who has
handled the case with great thorough
ness, is naturally averse to the express
sion of opinion at this time. He said:,
~, of course, can not say what action
the grand jury will take in the matter.
Young Montane's story is straight
enough. but his later denial destroys to
a large extent the force of his original
statement. 1t is understood that there
is a faint OF insanity in the family Of
George Montague. He himself has been
to the asylum. but is supposed to be all
right at the present time. One explana-
ton that might be made for the boys
action Is the fact that he claims to have
a grievance against his father. He says
That he had been promised that when
he reached the age of q he would be
given quarter section of land and that
his father has not fulfilled this promise.
He will not work until the promise is
fulfilled and has been itlling about his
fathers place for some time"
AS to the whitecap letters young Mon
tagne explains that he also wrote these
as a joke He claimed that he would
write them and then place them on the
fences, and then enjoy the
fright that would ensue.
MIR. Miller further said that the Mon
tagnes had always borne fairly good
reputation. That they were well to do,
George Montague being worth in the
Of $4,000"
The grand jury has already been at
work for three days on the case and
will make a thorough investigation be-
fore they complete Their work. If they
decide that George Montague is respon-
sible. the feeling at Cherokee seems to
be that an indictment will be returned.
In any case young Montague will UNI
doubtedly be restrained.

CORN IN NORTHERN IOWA.

Observations from a railway train OF
corn conditions between jefferson and
Spirit Lake gave the Bee man the i'm
preston that the northern part Of the
state has little the best of us this year
as regards this cereal. They have had
considerably more rain there than here,
and the bulk of the corn with them
seems to promise seventy-five per cent
of an average yield.
