THE GRlNNELL NEWS.

special to Times Republican.
Grinnell, Dec. 27.-The heat proposi-
ton has at last been solved by a good
tshare of the merchants and Office men.
In the last few days nearly all of the
offices and good share of the stores
have been supplied with stoves. The
weather has been so intensely cold that
the small supply of steam was abso-
lutely inadequate, and now modern
heating apparatus has been supplanted
by the old reliable way of heating by
|stove. Every bit of kindling wood has
been engaged for some weeks to come,
land it is very hard to get any wood
Many of those who have put in stoves
in puace of steam now avow that they
will not go back to the steam when the
new boiler comes, as they do not be-
lieve that when 1t is put in place there
win yet be power enough to supply
sufficient heat to the consumers.
The bowling contest last night be-
tween the Hopkins and Render teams
resulted in a victory for the Render
team by thirty pins. The lineup of the
team was as follows: Rehder-George
McMurray, Manatt, Manly and Fritz
Rhinefort; Hopkins-Fred Spaulding,
Harry Wire, George Spooner and Lou
Rhinefort. The total scores were 1854
pins for the Render team and 1854 pins
for the Hopkins team. The total aver
age for the Render team was LAP o.
and that of the Hopkins team 141 20.
The highest individual average was
made by Render, which was $50. In ths
first game spaulding was the high man
at 1853; second game, Render at 1888;
third game, Manly at 154; fourth game,
Lou Rhinefort at ITS; last game 1SS,
with Spaulding as high man.
r. w. Wilson, of Marion, Ind, ar
rived this afternoon to slae what can be
done with the heating proposition,
which is at present in very bad con-
clifton. Another boiler has given out
almost completely and in reply to tel
egram sent yesterday Mr.. Wilson came
immediately to see IL some relief can
not be had here. Mr.. Wilson is thor
ough business man and he will no doubt
find a way out of the difficulty.
The whisky captured from the Ad-
ans Express Company is still held by
the city. The United States supreme
court Judges have decided that it is
legal to ship whisky c. O. D., but some
Iowa Judges still hold against it, but II
the business is finally declared legal
then the city will have to pay for all
the whisky taken and destroyed from
the United States Express Company,
and 1T will be quite neat sum. 1t is
said that the United States Express
Company may have to pay the liquor
houses for that destroyed.

a Fake.
Special to Tlmes-Republican.


Parkersburg, Dec. 27.-The exclusive
and special dispatch from this place
published in the Des Moines News to
the effect that the postoffice robbers
had been captured and the loot re-
covered was a pure fake. No trace
nor clue of the robbers has been found,
but most of the stamps, about $1,000
worth, have been found secreted be-
hind the brick vault, where the rob-
bers undoubtedly put them, fearing to
carry such suspicious amount of
stamps away with them. The post
master says today that the robbers
also overlooked in their haste nearly
$3.50 in money which was in the vault
and which they could have taken out
thru the hole they picked in the brick
wall along with the s150 they did
make away with.
