Goldfield. March 21.-A great sensa-
ton was created last night when a
minister was made the victim of a
shower of bad eggs. The preacher in
question had gone to Goldfield from
Ames. He expected to secure damag-
ing evidence against I. c. Welty, a
former superintendent of the Goldfield
schools, and defeat him for county SUI
perintendent of Story county for which
position he is NOW running. The min
lister, however. found that the greater
portion of the people We're warm
friends of Mr.. WeltS. The people find
ing out his purpose escorted the rev.
erend gentleman to the depot. Reports
say this is not the first attempt to de-
fame Mr.. Welty's character for which
reason the Goldfield people are furious.
Their action of last night shows IN no
way that they do not approve
of'the minister's efforts to defeat We'll
ty. 1t is said that the minister may
cause wholesale arrests.

Denison, March 21.-There will be no
end of work for the man that is look

coming season. With the new $4,000
court house. the $4,000 Carnegie Ii
brary, and the score of $4,000 and $4,000
-csidences that have been contracted
for, it would seem that work would
be hunting men. Denison is not on the
boom. it is simply having a steady
growth and a growth not only in build
ing but also in population, and one that
will remain with it in after years. All
that is needed in connection with these
Improvements is an electric car line and
paved streets and sewerage, and then
the town will be satisfied.
