Citizens of vinton observed a pecu-
liar phenomenon recently. During the
night the weather moderated and II
rained Generally after a shower the
cement walks dry almost Immediately
In the morning until between 3 and 10
o'clock the rain remained upon the
cement walks and it looked very much
as If oil had been sprinkled. The lit
tie pools in the -sunken places glis-
tened and had every resemblance to
OIL People coming to the business
section OF the city in the early morn
ing would stop and look at it and lift
their shoes to see if there was oil on
the shoe or heel. 1t looked odd to
say the least.
Wavsriy.
Bremen county is going to have a
new court house or know the reason
why. About 100000 is wanted to
build a new building and 1t Is believed
the voters Will willingly vote this
amount for n new court house. The
one now occupied is an old Iowa land
mark, having been in service for more
than a half century. 1t is poorly ven-
tilated and the sanitary conditions are
not such as to please. 1t is believed
that new building can be erected at
cost which would never be felt hv
the voters Of the county. 1t is quite
probable that within very short time
the supervisors Will submit the prop
osition to the people.

Yeggmen are getting in their work
in great shape in different sections Of
this locality They are not only after
the postoffices but a number OF stores
and depots have been broken into.
Deputy Postmaster Henry Larson has
issued a statement showing that the
loss In the robbery OF the Ossian post
offices reaches $317.50. by far the larg-
err part OF this amount being in stamps.
The safe was dynamitcd and all that
was of value was taken. On the same
morning the postoffice at Elma was
robbed and quite a number OF stamps
and some silver was taken but 1t was
not so great as at Osstan. Besides these
the stores Of n. ]. Gieson and Calmer
was entered and the cash drawer re-
Iieved Of It's contents, and what else
they stole is not known. Sheriff Quail
Ter and Deputy Sheriff Gleason have a
pretty good clue as to the Ossian rob-
berry and are following Il closely.
More and more the government Of
ficials who are here investigating into
the numerous north Iowa postoffice
robberies are convinced that Il is done
by one gang OF operators and they are
satisfied that in time they VIII ne
hunted down.
