Iowa City. Feb. 17.-Many students
lat the University of Iowa will so thru
the balance of the year on what is
termed short shedding" which means
sweaters and no more parties. as re-
suit of too implicit belief in the prom

i'm Chicago. Some students will be
compelled to leave the university un
less they can raise some money from
brothers or other relatives to last out
the year. The proposition of receiving
a per cent month, as represented by
the agents of the concern, proved very
enticing to students. who came back to
the university the first of the year With
heavy bank rolls for expenses during
the winter term.
The only man to get his money out of
all the investors in Iowa City was an
attorney, who demanded his money
back in strong terms on his business

closing of contract to manufacture it
for the trade, j. b. Boos, corner Eighth

salesman for the Mosler Safe and

safe made and that the output of the
factory which agreed to manufacture
his invention VIII be in the neighbour
hood of seven safes per day.
The invention with which Mr.. Boos
is credited with having perfected is
said to be nearer burglar proof than
any other strong box ever invented.
Instead of four or eight bolts being shot
into sockets on safe, as is the case
now. a steel rim fits into slot around
the door. making it practically air
tight and precluding the possibility of
placing nitro glycerine in the interior
by means of an air pump.

charges have received official notice,
hereby withdraw from membership

church authorities. and was probably
the easiest way out of the matter for
Mckay.

s. S. Scull, of the church board. 1t is
stated that the church has acted as
soon as possible, with justice to all,
as il did not wish to embarass the civil

Mckay was conviced of rape upon
the person of Ida Kraft. a minor child
under the age of consent, and will be
sentenced by Judge Wakefield on Feb.
%. Mckay afterwards married Miss
Kraft and she was allowed TO testify
against him at the trial. Mckay will
carry the case TO the supreme court
on the ground that wife cannot tes-
tify against her husband.
