Within q milo Of the OrODOSpd


site are the great brown sandstone
quarries of Lake Superior, and here
is to be found as fine quality of
building stone as is quarried in the
United States. The use of this
stone at this particular point would
be a tremendous saving in the ex-
pense of construction of buildings.
There is at Houghton Point a
deep, wide ravine running back for
some distance from the bay. This
would no doubt be of considerable
advantage to the school in many
ways. In the ravine there is beau
tiful fall of water, known as Hough-
ton Falls, adding to the attractive
ness Of the site.
Enclosed is a map, the shaded
part all being available for your pur-
poses. The descriptions which the
City particularly desires to offer are
as follows:

tional quarter, SW NV quarter,

section %, township 40, range 4
west. The whole tanning 4lO.73
acres. If more land is desired the
four adjoining forties in section 20
can be added, and as they contain
100 acres the site could be thus in
creased to 570.75 acres. If desired
the tract of land to be acquired
could be further increased to fully
1000 acres.
The value of this land is about $25
an acre, but we are authorized to
say in this connection that the Com
missioners can set their own price
on the tract and clear title will be
furnished providing the proposed
site is selected.
The land is high and dry, has the
very best natural drainage, it is
partly wooded, in fact considerable
clearing would have to be done, it is
rich and fertile, free from swanps,
has all the water frontage that will
be wanted, water is the very best,
fronted by natural harbor with
twelve feet of water at the shore
and thirty feet OF a water depth a
few feet further out 1t is crossed
all the way from a quarter to half
mile from shore by the Omaha
railroad, and if these tracks are too
near the shore front they can be
moved, and we will guarantee to ar
range this with the railroad com
pany. The harbor will never re-
quire dredging, and the facilities
for target practice cannot be ex-
celled anywhere.
Trusting that the site may be
selected and assuring you that any
thing desired to make this beauty
spot more acce ptable will DE COM
piled with upon your suggestion,
and thanking you for the considera-
ton given the matter while here,
we remain.

CASHED FORGED CHECKS.
b. r. less Secured Twenty Dollars on Worth.
less Paper and Left Town.

On Wednesday of last week a
young fellow by the name of B. F.
Legg made small purchase at Lo.
max's dry goods store and presented
! check for $40 made payable to
himself and signed by w. S. Cross.
Thinking the maker of the check was
BIS. Cross, the we'll known farmer and
stockman north Of town, Miss Anna
Lomax who was waiting on him, took
the check and gave him the change.
Shortly afterwards the same fellow
visited Smiths dry goods store
and after making purchase pre-
sented the same kind of
check. Mrs. Smith asked him
who w. S. Cross was. He said it
was farmer north Of town whom he
had been working for. She told him
she knew Of but one Cross here and
that was B. S. Legg took the check
and left the store at once. Having
gotten the correct initials Legg made
another check, signed "B. S. Cross"
and succeeded in getting it cashed at
Browns drug store.
MIR. Cross was in town the next
morning and Geo. G. Smith asked
him if he had given Legg a check.
He said he had not and pronounced
it forgery and so notified the bank.
When the Lomax and Brown
checks were presented at the bank
they were of course turned down.
Legg had worked for Mr.. Cross a few
days but he had not given him any
check. Legg's home is at Paris, Ill.,,
but he had recently been stopping
with an uncle by the name of Simp-
son, a blacksmith at Wheeling. He
left Laclede on the 10 o'clock train
that night.

there was a shout.
The convention was on it's feet.
Like the crash of thunder that follows
the lightning, the enthusiasm began.
Flags were in the air, hats were
thrown up, men jumped on their
chairs, women stood and shouted.
The air was rent with one continuous,
prolonged shout from thousands of
throats. So mighty was the volume
of sound that nothing definite in the
way of articulate sound was dis
tinguishable.
When order was restored and the
roll of states called Chairman Canon
announced that Roosevelt had receiv-
ed the entire vote of the convention,
994, and was the unanimous choice of
bis party for president.
The roll of states was then called
for nomination for vice president.
Alabama yielded to Iowa and Sen
ator Dolliver presented the name of
Senator Fairbanks of Indiana. No
'ther name being presented Senator
Fairbanks was unanimously declared
he republican candidate for vice
PRESIDENT amid much enthusiasm.
The convention adjourned and the
