WILL DECIDE NEXT MONDAY
Plans Have Been Drawn and Probable

Five or Six Story Building for Lodge,
Store Rooms and offices-Thoush
That the Project Will Carry.

1t will be definitely known after a
meeting of the Masonic fraternity, to
be held next Monday evening, whether
or not the new Masonic Temple the or
der has been contemplating to erect will
become a reality during the coming
season. Men who are in a position to
favor of the plans being adopted and
the contract let for the building next
summer. A structure of five or six
stories is being talked of, to cost in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
Several members of Signet Chapter
No 3S, r. A. NJ, almost two years ago
filed with the county recorder articles
of Incorporation covering this building
project. At that tine plans were Sc
cured and the lot on South First ave-
nue., between Main and Church streets
was purchased. The matter was
dropped for the time, however. owing to
a lack Of funds. but 1t has recently been
revived and there is every reason TO
believe the building will now be erected.
Other than the plans already In the
hands of the promoters, local archl-
tect is now at work on plans which VIII
he submitted at the meeting Monday
evening.
The present idea ia to erect either q
five or six-story structure, which VIII
be used for lodge purposes, store rooms
and office apartments. The ground
floor is to be arranged for store rooms
while the second and third floors VIII
be used for offices. Tie two upper floors
will be utilized by the Masons and one
of the other orders for lodge rooms.
Men interested say there is no reason
in the world to doubt but that the
proiect can be carried thru success
fully. even in view OF the fact that
norton of the funds required VIII nave
TO be borrowed They give as their
reason for this view that had the build
ing been erected last summer every
available room in tho entire structure
could have been rented and would now
he occupied. The basement IT Is
thought will be arranged so that a
bowling alley can be placed therein, ana

STRANGER is ROBBED.
Tom Larson, of Harlan, Touched for
Watch and $17 in Money.

Tom Larson, resident of Harlan,
has every reason to remember the
short visit he paid to this city Wednes-
day evening. Larson stopped in this
city between trains, being on his way
to Queen City, Mimi, where he was
going to accept position with a
wholesale grocery firm. When he ar
rived in this city he was considerably
under the influence OF. liquor, and inn
bibed still more during the few hours
he was here. While sleeping off the
effects Of his debauch, in South
Third avenue saloon, he was relieved
OF his gold watch and SIT in money,
also his pocket knife and in fact every
thing he had on his person. When he
came to his senses, and discovered his
loss ,he applied TO the police for aid,
but no trace of the robber could be
found. Being without funds to leave
the city Larson applied to Mr. Nissen
for aid. and the latter purchased him
n ticket so that he might return to his
home. He left this morning for Harlan,
having decided to sacrifice his new po-
sition for the present at least.

koskuBA DENIES THE CHARGE.
Says That Joseph Mercheck's Death
Was Not Due to His Beating.

Joseph Koskuba, the Ferguson farmer
who recently figured in district court
case before Judge Burnham, who ex-
tended ;leniency to a marked degree af-
ter Koskuba's trial on charge of as
sault with intent to kill his neighbor,
William Brande, says that he has been
made to bear the blame for crime he
never committed. A reference to Kos
kuba's past career was made at the
time Of his arrest for the Brande as
sault, and it was stated that he had
been generally considered as having
been responsible for the death of
neighbor, Joseph Mercheck, several
years ago. Koskuba and Mercheck did
have trouble, resulting over differences
that arose one day when Mrs. Mer-
check called Koskuba a vile name. A
fight ensued, and Koskuba struck Mer-
check with a club. Mercheck had him
arrested, but the grand jury failed to
indict him. Instead of the blow being
the cause of Merchecks death Koskuba
says that he died by his own hand
swallowing poison, because he had
been informed that wife, whom he
had left in Bohemia. was coming to
this country to prosecute him on
charge of bigany, he having married
a second wife in this country.

Pretty Strong.

We dc not believe our record in crown
and bridge work has ever been equalled
in central Iowa. This is a pretty broad
statement, but we are ready to back 1t
with indisputable proof. Formerly We
laid great stress on our remarkably low
prices. This fact, coupled with our un-
firing efforts to please, has placed us
in position to do more crown and
bridge work than all of the other dem
lists in town combined.
Now, we justly claim to lead in this
particular branch and our large pat
ronage from people who have formerly
gone to Chicago and elsewhere for the
finest work are. among our staunchest
patrons and shows something even
more attractive than low prices.
1t is worth while to investigate and
consult us. Old phone. 1923; new

Bow Sent to Reform School.

Charlie Allen. the 12-year-old son of
Mrs. Nettie Beckel of 510 North Second
avenue, was Wednesday afternoon SEN
fenced to the reform school by Judge
Caswell. Marshal Nicholson took the
boy to Eldora this morning. The boys
mother filed the information. claiming
she was unable to control the child,
who was vicious and ungovernable. The
boy was arrested few weeks ago,
charged with assault and battery on the
person of one of his hoy companions.
His latest escapade, however, was an
assault upon his mother, which, the
neighbors think, was more or less pro-
voked, and resulted more because of the
lads quick temper than anything else.

In either case there is no clue.
The experience of Miss Gardiner was
by far the boldest affair. The young
lady had left her place of business
shortly after 6, and started home in
company with lady friend. They
noticed that man was following them,

of Linn street, near St. Mary's con-

for the work. which was over in a

robbed. After securing the purse the
thief ran down the street and into an
alley.
