School Boards May Alter Dist ictS.

Assistant Attorney General Townsend,
at the request of the county superintend-
ent of Newbely couty, has rendered
an opinion Of considerable interest on
whether a school board of education
has power to alter the line of a school
district. After quoting the law on the
subject, Mr.. Townsend states that
boards have such power, but that the
portion taken away remains liable for
ITS share in any outstanding tax levied

CBMBNT SIDEWALKS.
Three Thousand Yards Of Sidewalk In the
Business Portion of the City to be
ss Made Of Cement.

City council at q recent meeting de-
%cided to cement the sidewalks in the
\ business portion of Newberry. The ex-
spenditure Of money which will be neces-
&sary to make this Improvement is esti-
mated at about $4,500 This amount,
is believed, will cover the cost of
laying at least three thousand yards of
{! cement.
During the past year the affairs of
the city have been run very economi-
Acally, and council figu"es that it will be
Aable to expend this amount of money
on the permanent improvement of the
sidewalks without placing the town
&deeper in debt or in worse condition
financially in any way than when the
present administration took charge.
A committee from council, consisting
OF Aldermen A. II. Brown, Van Smith,
and e. Y. MOI ris, with Mayor Earhardt
member ex-officio, was appointed to
prepare plans and specifications and to
advertise for bids. This committee
! held meeting on Tuesday afternoon
and decided to advertise for bids for
furnishing all material and laying not
& less than three thousand square yards
Sof cement pavements and curbipg COM
splete. The bids will be opened by the
committee on September 4th, at 8
O'Clock p. m. The contractor will be
bonded for three years to the amount
of contract.
Following are the plans and 81 ecfica-
tions prepared by the committees:
8 PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS.

crete, and finish with V shaped tool

Flour Higher.

The late Government report makes
the wheat crop thirty-five million bush
els less than last year. This means very
much higher flour until another harvest
in 1894. All flour is higher now, but
the advance on Bransford's "Clifton"
has not yet been as great in proportion
to other flour: However, it is mighty
g. I'd time to buy supply before it goes
still higher. Fresh flour constantly re-
ceived. ~. ]. HAYS.

Fresh Flour All the Time

The celebrated "Clifton" -four is sold
only to the retail merchants, and, as
they buy in small quantities, the flour
is always fresh. Bransford's Clifton
is strictly the flour for family use, and
if your bread, cake and pastry are not
made of it you are certainly the loser.
We keep it in stock regularly.

MUST PAY INTERES I.

The Kossuth county board of super
visors have recently decided on a
number of new departures that are de-
cidedly change from the customs OF
the majority of the boards of supervi-
sors in Iowa. First, they will hence
forth charge the banks minimum
rate of interest for the money deposit
ed in them by the county treasurer.
The county deposits have been easy
money to the banks who use it to a
good advantage and have not hitherto
paid cent for it's use. There is al
ways quite surplus on hand and this
lays in the banks several months out
of the year. They will also pay the
cost of the county treasurer's surety
bond, relieving that official of quite
an item of expense.

SOME FINE SPEAKERS.

One of the coming events which
bear with them more than ordinary
interest in the way of public profit is
the annual teachers meeting of the
Northeastern Iowa Teachers associa-
ton, which meets in Mason City Oc-
tober 10, Is and II. The program
promises unusual merit in the great
questions for discussion and the able
speakers who have been obtained to
address the various sessions. Charles
Emory Smith, the great Philadelphia
editor, at one time postmaster gen.
eral for William Mckinley. will be
the star attraction and will lecture Oh
the evening of the 18th. Among the
other speakers will be DR.. Storms, the
new president of the State Agricul.
tural school at Ames, President Seer.
ley, of the State Normal school at Ce.
dar Falls, State Superintendent Bar.
rett, and James l.. Hughes, inspector
of the Toronto, Canada schools and q
distinguished educator. A very large
attendance is expected, providing the
weather is favorable. A banquet will
probably be rendered Hon. Charles
Emory Smith by the Walt Whitman

POISONED THE WE'LL WATER.

Paris green and phosphorus were
the instruments of death used last
Thursday by unknown parties in an
attempt to poison W. A. Durfee, a
prominent coal operator of What
Cheer, and his entire family. Paris
green was poured in large quantities
down the we'll on Mr.. Durfee's prem
Uses and equally as much phosphorus
was poured into cans Of milk which
it was supposed the family would use.
Friday morning one of the members OF
the family discovered green SUBJ
stance about the we'll and this led TO
a search of the premises. 1t is believ-
ed that some party who had an imagi-
nary grievance against Durfee COM
mitted the act.

AN ADVERTISING TRIP.

Dubuque manufacturers and jobbers,
travelling in their special train, made
a five days Swing around the circle"
last week, stopping at the different
towns and cities for few hours each
to get acquainted and keep in touch
with their customers. They visited
100 towns and travelled 1000 miles.
Their train was solid vestibule one
of five coaches and was one CT the fin
est ever hauled through Iowa. Dubu-
auers know how to drum up trade and
keep it too. The party purchased
but single ticket for the entire trip,
and this was the most expensive rail
road ticket ever purchased in Iowa,
costing 81 $50.

at the home of DR.. f. l.. Rogers.
He had been the doctors hostler and
gardener and was faithful to his duties,
except on occasional sprees. He
would persist in this, and while no.
body was at home, Digian got into the
thing in the way of liqnor, including
a quantity of wood alcohol. Death
soon resulted. The remains were
taken to Lawler. Iowa, for irterment,
beside those of his wife, who died
thirteen years ago to the very day.

TRIES TO SUICIDE TWICE.

Howard Stone, a 14-year-old boy of
Estherville, attempted to kill himself
by drowning in the Des Moines river
Thursday morning. He was rescued
by companion. Later he made an
other attempt to kill himself by tie
ing handkerchief around his neck to
cause strangulation. The second at
tempt was made when he saw an Off
Ger approaching, presumably to arrest
him. The cause of his dispondency
was trouble at school.

when it was found that Mr.. Serum
was dead. A few pieces of kindling
were found tightly clinched in his

LAWYERS PICNIC.

Poor old Hank Day saved, scrimped
and boarded all his life acquired pro-
perty-somehow just how only the
Lord and Day ever knew; evaded bear
ing his just share of the burdens Of
taxation; refused to do thing to
build up his home town. Mason CITY,
and at last to the relief of all and the
Joy of not few, he sickened and died
one day and went, we presume, to the
place prepared for him. The bulk OF
his property, estimated to be worth
about 500, 900, he willed his sister,
Mrs. Hattie Day Ogden. Other heirs
are contesting the will and about $40, :
600 day is being pulled out of some
secreted strong box as a result. The
cash has escaped taxation for years it
is claimed and the county should get
a-good roll in the shape of evaded
back taxes. Nearly every attorney in
Mason City is retained on one side of
the case or the other and the prospects
are that by the time the county gets
it's due and the lawyers are satisfied
there'll be nothing worth while for
the heirs to quarrel over. And Day.
poor old Day, what if he could wit
ness the proceedings We are in
hearty sympathy with the efforts OF
the attorneys to put the cash into cir
culation. Any contraction of the cur
rency at this time is detrimental to
the public good. Rockwell Phono'
