vinton, March 7.-Superintendent
McCune, who for nearly thirty-five
years has closely applied himself to
his duties at the college for the blind,
is convinced that he needs a rest very
much, and has accordingly notified the
board OF control that he will not be
an applicant for the position for an
other term. He is entitled to great
credit for the faithful service he has
rendered the state.

position Of first male teacher at the
college under the principa1ship OF
Rev. Robert Carruthers, and served in
that position until the death OF Mr.
Carruthers, when he was elected by
the board as principal to fill the va
cancy. In June 1882 he was elected
as principal for the full term. He
has been elected twice by the pres
ent board Of control as chief execu-
tive officer with the title OF, supertn-
tendent, thus covering a period OF
many years as a teacher and SUI
nerintendent. Mr.. McCune has no
other plans for the future except that
he will remain in vinton and occupy

for the consideration Of $4,000. These
property owners, whose property
would be damaged by the city's action
in closing the south part of that street,
state that they do not wish 20 keep the
road from entering Fort Dodge, but do
this as a protection for themselves.
These same property owners recently
filed suit against the city council, and
asked the court to make the action Of
the council in vacating that street null
and void, because OF the damage to
their property The council did not
pass on the petition, but will probably
communicate with the railroad officials
at once.

Building Contained Most Expensive
,v,ohar

Lumber.
Waterloo, March Fire that was
discovered in the lumber shed Of the
MacEachron-Have Lumber Co., cor
ner of First and Cedar streets, about
s o'clock Monday evening practically
destroyed the entire building, and all
of the material that was stored in the
building, which amounted to several
thousand Of dollars. The origin Of the
fire is not known, but 1t is supposed
to have come from the furnace which
was located in that part of the base
ment which was directly under the
fire when the blaze was first discov-
cred.
In spite of the fact that all Of the
fire fighting apparatus in the city and
the men were on the ground a short
time after the alarm was turned in,
the fire continued to burn until it had
destroyed or badly damaged every
thing in its path. Messrs. MacEach-
ron and Haven were unable to set an
estimate on the loss they had sus-
tanned by the blaze, but the contents Of
the building was the most expensive
lumber used in building purposes and
for that reason the loss will foot UP,
probably, over ten thousand dollars.
