general order to the effect that the
cost of the dresses to be worn at the
high school graduation this year
should be limited to s..
THAT would be enough for each
girl to have a really beautiful dress,
Superintendent Riddell said, and it
would prevent poor people from spend

so that their dear daughters may grad

so much money for graduating dress

Fire and water, costing Lee county
an estimated loss of nearly $4,000,
wrought almost total destruction to
the court house at Fort Madison be-
tween 10 O'Clock in the evening and

played on the building from that hour
until 4:30 this morning.
From Fort Madison police authori-
ties it is learned that the officials
there believe the fire to be of incen-
diary origin, suspicious character
having been seen lurking about the
court house shortly before the general
fire alarm was turned in. Every eff
fort is being made to trace the susr
pected fire bug.
The court house building as ii stands
today is almost complete wreck, fire
having started in the rear on the sec
ond floor and eating its way forward
burned the top part of The building

The fixtures and furnishings on the
first floor were so completely drench-
that the larger portion of them are
beyond repair About three-fourths of
the damage is covered by insurance.
Only the fact that the county of
