The burglary at Rowan's was the
nerviest trick that has been turned for
many a day. Indications are that the
burglars spent an hour or more in the
store, during which time they went
over every department and picked out
the best goods. After they had secured
enough booty they gathered it all to-
gether and, rolling 1t up in large
counter cover, took their departure.
The burglars got away with their
booty without leaving the slightest

Court House Fight.

Hedrick. Nov. 26.-Keokuk county is
on the eve of another court house fight.
Fifty years ago the county seat of Keo-
kuk county was located at Lancaster, a
little hamlet six miles southeast of
Sigourney. In court house fight the
voters of the county ordered it to
Sigourney by a majority of less than a
hundred.
Ever since at frequent intervals Lam
caster has had court house aspirations.
but never before has the thing assumed
such gigantic proportions as at present.
1t is now proposed to build a railroad
from What Cheer to Richland thru
Lancaster. This road is to be branch
to the Northwestern, but the stock will
be principally subscribed by farmers
and capitalists along the line.
Saturday evening the Lancaster peo-
pie had amseting and have offered site
and $4,000 towards the building and
it is thought they will even do better
than this. There is a great anti-Si-
Courtney feeling all over the country
and the fact that the proposition for a
new court house has twice been de-
feated in this county by overwhelming
majorities Notwithstanding the fact
that our present court house has been
considered unsafe, seems to add fuel
to the flame of Lancaster's inspiration.
The defeats above mentioned are
traced largely to the anti-Sigourney
sentiment. The Lancaster people will
have another meeting tonight when an
organization will be perfected and the
fight declared on in earnest.
