Residents of West Marshalltown
Willing to Give District
Valuable Land
SITE ON FREMONT STREE
New School House Will Have to be
Erected Within Next Few Years to
Accommodate Increased Attendance
Will be Located Some Place in West
Part of the City.

Residents of the western part of the
city, who are in the addition annexed to
the city a year or so ago, are anxious
that the next school house that is built
street, which, according to the inten-
tons of the residents of the district,
will be extended on west from it's pres
emit terminus at Sixth street. Mr.. James
Andrews and Mr. N. p. Hanson APP
reared before the school board Tuesday
night with the information that
beautiful site on high ground would be
donated by property owners when the
proper time came.
for the board will not build next year.
The levy for school house purposes has
been placed at only $4,000 for the com-
ing year, and that amount, 1T is consid-
cred, will keep UP repairs nicely and be
a great saving to the district. During
the year following, however. it will be
necessary to build new school house,
and it will be in the western part of the
city, where the school population has
rapidly increased and is continuing to
increase.
Mr.. H. A. Christianson is also inter-
estsd with Messrs. Andrews and Han
son in the donation of the land, which
will be sufficient for ample room for a
modern building. For the present the
Hartwell school is caring for the pupils
of that district in very fair shape, and
a number of the older pupils are being
cared for In the other schools. Superin-
stendent. Crane will have charge of the
redistricting of the city when the plans
for the new building assume more def
mite form. The board will meet the
proposed donors and other property
owners and patrons of the west part of
the town within the next few weeks,
when some decision will likely be made
regarding the site for the new building.
Tuesday evening was the regular
monthly meeting night of the board, but
there was nothing but routine business
to be disposed of. Mr.. Turner, who is
at the bedside of his son Frank, at
Ames. and Mr.. Church, who is at Col
fax with his son-in-law, DR.. C. c. Cot
tie, were the only absentees.

City Physician Decides LeGrand

Genuine SMALLPOX,

Township Family Are AFFLICTED With
Genuine Smallpox.
City Health Physician H. H. Nichols,
after investigating the cases of sup
posed smallpox in LeGrand township,
near Dillon, has decided that it is the
genuine article, altho several Of the
cases are OF a mild type. Dispute
seems to have arisen among those who
were afflicted, as to whether it was
smallpox at all or not, and this be-
lief seems to have been strengthened,
it is claimed. by physician from To-
ledo, who visited the locality and re-
ported the cases not to be as first d.
agnosed. Complaints We're made to the
board of supervisors. which requested
DR.. Nichols to investigate and report.
He visited the families Of John Lacina.
Joseph Lopour and Frank Peschl, in
which there were ten cases, and found
all to be suffering with smallpox. In
the same neighborhood are two or three
other families who have members Ill
with the disease.

The worlds Volcanoes.

The number of great habitual vol
canic vents upon the globe is estimated
at between three hundred and three
hundred and fifty. The American
Continent contains more than the coun.
tries Of the Old World-twenty in
North America, twenty-five in Central
American and thirty-seven in South
America.
There is but one on the whole con-
tinent of Europe-Vesuyius-thougb
elsewhere in the Mediterranean there
are six-Stromboli and Nulyano, in the
Lipari Islands; Etna, in Sicily; Graham
Island a submarine volcano, off the
Slcilian coast, and santorius and Missy
ros, ia the Aegean Sea.
The African Continent is known to
contain ten active volcanoes, four Oh
the west and six on the east coast,
and there are about ten others ia the
neighboring islands.
In Asia there are twenty-four active
volcanoes, but no less than twelve OF
these are situated on the Peninsula of
KaGlchatka, There are no volcanoes
in Australia. ii -:5
Thus, taken altogether, there are
about one hundred and seventeen vol.

The Average Trust In Talismans, Amuicts
and Charms.

and Charms.
The average thief born and bred IN
the slums, is always superstitlous and
cowardly. He believes in the power Of
witches, omens, and the protecting
properties Of amulets, tallsmans and
charms; and when searched at the po-
lice station there is usually found in
his pocket or concealed about his per-
son, bits Of coal rusty horseshoe nails,
lucky stones and rings.
He parts with these articles, on
which he relies for safety in the hour
Of peril, with the greatest reluctance,
ind stiDulates with the turnkey to
have them returned either to himself or
friends.
The burglars greatest enemy in his
nocturnal wanderings is a dog whose
presence he even breads more than
the policeman OF detective. TO protect
and guard himself against canine at
tacks on his person he carries about
with him a sprig of the gray limewort,
which, when used as an amulet, is an
absolute preventive against the bites
of dogs. This plant, when used inter
nally, is said, on the authority Of
Bacon, to remove hydrophobia.
There is also a curious superstition
common among all classes Of the genus
lawbreeGcc regarding the power of a
candle made from the body Of a young
woman. The belief is that such a
candle not only renders the perpetra-
tors OF robbeTies invisible, but that it
throws the victim or victims into a
state of deep somnolency. Within the
last two years four ignorant Russian
peasants murdered a girl and made
candles out Of her body. Before the
murderers were executed they confessed
that they committed the crime to make
themselves invisible while perpetrating
a robbery they had planned.
In the Scotch criminal code of tho
eighteenth century there are express
penalties against this hideous candle
superstition. The thief has implicit
reliance in the foreknowledge claimed
by gypsies and other people, and he
has been known to pay blackmail tC
