Interest in the Worlds Fair Voting
contest is increasing, and it is expected

close second. Both are popular young

doubtless be highly interesting from

The first number of the Polk County
School News, the new school paper to
be established by County Superintend-
ent @. L. Starr. will be published
about October l. The paper will be
devoted to county school news, and
will be published monthly. The sub
scription price has been placed at the
small sum of so cents year, which
will barely cover the cost Of publi-
cation. Superintendent Starr says
that subscriptions are already coming
in at lively rate.
f. s. Garrison, who was recently
bound over to the Circuit Court in the !

was taken to Falls City by Sheriff
Ford on Wednesday afternoon, but no
0ne could be found who was willing /
TO stand good for his appearance at {
5he December term of court. Justice
Hardy Holman, before whom he had
MS preliminary hearing, refuses to
over the amount of his bonds, and
t is altogether probable that the
county will have him to board for the
next three months.
