Extra School Notes

There will be program in each
Of the rooms the day preceding
Thanksgiving.
Will Nelson has returned to the
Eleventh Grade after an enforced
absence Of two weeks.
The Eleventh Grade have begun
the study of Ivanhoe and the Ninth
Grade have nearly finished reading
the Lady OF the Lake.
Two new pupils have entered the
High School and become membe
of the Ninth Grade. They are
Martin Boose and Ethel Gray.
The Fifth and Sixth Grades have
just about completed the subject of
Physiology and will spend the
greater part of the year on history
instead.
The question whether or net
Effie was justified in staying with
Silas in the story of Silas Mariner
will be debated in the High School
before Thanksgiving.
Our genial and industrious jani-
tor, Mr.. johnson, looked over the
High School at Adair while visiting
there last Saturday. He thinks our
school is certainly superior in
many ways.
We were sorry to learn that in
the near future two of our best
pupils, Harry and Helen Cotton
contemplate moving to Council
Bluffs. They have done the best OF
work and all of the High School
will be sorry to see them go.

CEMENT PLANT is ENLARGED.
Capacity of Mason City Institution is
5000 Barrels Daily,

Mason City.-The surprise of the
stockholders at the final meeting of
the first annual session of the mem
bers of the Northwestern States &C.
ment company was the report of the
president, W. F. Cowham, that in
stead of mill capable of turning out
$500 barrels of cement in day, the
mill as it now stands will turn out
$500 to 5000 barrels.
The reason for this enlargement is
the abundance of raw material here
which is easy of access. Operation
of the mill started on the 10th. The
first train load of clay was brought
in from the beds about two miles dis
lance, the dryer started and the
grinders. In a few weeks these ground
materials will be mixed and burned
and reground. which is then the com
mercial cement.

ousting Mrs. Jennie Huegle from, and
reinstating 2. G. Thornburg in, the
office of county superintendent of
schools, in compliance with a recent
decision by the supreme court to
which the case was taken on appeal
by Thornburg, preliminary steps were
taken for an action against Thorn
burg and his bondsmen, demanding
he be required to make an account
ing for funds expended by him while
an occupant of the office. The origin.
al notice, prepared by Attorney War
ren Walker, is signed by E. v.
Boudinot, as plaintiff, and charges
Thornburg with misappropriation of
approximately $4,000 and non-account-

an expert accountant was unable to
discover vouchers on file.
The suit will be filed in equity that
opportunity may be given the plain
tiff to go into the details of sundry
deals which he clearly regards as not
strictly ION the level".

Defective Switch Cause of Wreck.

Defective Switch Cause of Wreck.
Des Moines.-Thomas H. Boylan,
clerk of the state board of railroad
commissioners, has returned from
Ames, where he investigated the
cause of the recent accident between
a Northwestern train and an electric
car, resulting in the injury of a
number of people. He finds that the
interlocking switch was out of order
because it was being repaired. AS a
result the derailing device for the
electric car did not work. Mr.. Boylan
refuses to express any opinion as to
who he thinks was responsible for
the accident. A large number of dam
age suits will grow out of the wreck.

You cant be we'll and have weak,
unhealthy, tired out stomach. Neither
can you feel good if by some little ir-
regularity in eating, you have caused
the stomach to get out of order. These
little stomach troubles are signs of in
digestion which may and very often
does turn into a very bad case of dys-
pepsia. Don't allow this to go on a
single day without doing something to
overcome it. Take some good reliable
and safe digestant like Kodol for Dys-
pepsia. Kodol is the best remedy known
today for heart burn, belching and all
troubles arising from disordered di-
gestion. 1t is pleasant to take and
affords relief promptly. Sold by Nick

GEORGE e. LOSEY A SUICIDE.
Well-to-Do Newark Insurance Man
Takes Poison and Dies Quickly.

NEW YORK, February 2S.-George E.
Losey, New Jersey agent of the Fidelity
and Casualty Company Of New York, COM
mitted suicide at his~home, 1120 Broad
street, Newark, last night. He drank a
mixture of laudanum and chloroform and
was dead ten minutes after it had become
known what he had done. Losey who had
been widower, married a young woman
from the east three months ago. William
H. Williams, his private secretary, lived
with them.
Last night Losey stepped into the library
and made out check to Williams for SAL
airy due him to date. He then removed a
diamond ring from his singer and. taking
his gold watch and chain, handed them to
Williams as gift.
Losey then summoned his wife from an
other room and told her and Williams that
he had taken, poison. He added that he
would have shot himself had Williams
open. Williams summoned DR.. ]. A. Blair,
who lives In the adjoining house. and he re-
sponded at once, but Losey was breathing
his last when he entered. Neither Mrs.
Losey nor Williams could give any reason
for Losey's act, but 1t Is believed that drink
had temporarily unbalanced his mind.
Losey recently told friend that he had
money enough to retire. He was member
of several clubs. including the New Jersey
Auto Club.

JACKSON FOR CHEAP GAS.
New York's Attorney General Will
Take Charge Of Pending Litigation.

ALBANY, February 23.-Attorney General
Jackson announced last night that his Of
flee would from this time take personal
charge Of the important litigation pending
in the courts regarding the authority of the
state gas commission to reduce the prices
charged for gas and electricity in Syracuse.
The investigation made by the state gas
commission into the complaint Of the mayor
and citizens Of Syracuse against the SYRIA
cuse Lighting Company, asking a reduc-
ton in the prices of gas and electricity sup
piled to consumers in that city, was the first
case outside Of New York city investigated
by the state commission. The decision Of
the commission has never gone into eff
feet because the gas company obtained a
restraining order from the courts and the
litigation over the matter is still pending.
Attorney General Jackson yesterday mott.
fed Walter w. Magee, corporation counsel
Of Syracuse, who has had charge of the liti-
cation for the state gas commission, that
he had decided that the complaint against
the Syracuse Lighting Company should re-
ceive his personal attention and that the
case would be conducted hereafter from
the attorney generals Office

sible under the circumstances, and 1t was
plain to be seen from the manifestations of
the audience that he had the sympathy of
every one present.
The jury retired after charge by Judge
Hallam. In short time, or long enough to
permit few announcements Of future
meetings in the course of prohibition, the
jury returned and gave unanimous ver-
dict of guilty on all counts as indicted.
1t was a tragic moment when the marshal
appeared with a coal bod and hammer
and, while the audience sat in deathly 81
lence, proceeded to carry out the sentence
of the court by knocking off the heads Of
the two prisoners,
