from the conservatory. This will be
done as many of the students in mu-
sic desire to take other Of the high
er grade studies and the arrange
ment contemplated with the high
school authorities will make this
possible.
1t is probable that the matter will
be definitely settled in the near fu-
ture, as the gentlemen interested in
the proposition expect to call a
meeting of these and the county SUI
pervisors to canvass the project and
decide as to what would be best in
the premises.
The location of such a conserva-
tory of music here as is contemplate
ed would no doubt be of great bene-
fit to Webster City, both materially
and from an artistic standpoint, as
it would bring many students here
from the out side towns and it is
to be hoped the new undertaking
may become reality.

Another Case of Poisoning.

Chas. Jones. who has been acting
temporarily as night policeman
while Geo. Jewett Is Ill, was strick-

maine poisoning Saturday evening,
but is now able to be up and about
the streets again.
Mr.. Jones had a most serious at
tack of the trouble which has been
prevailing throughout the city dur
ing the past several days and which
was at first thought to have been
caused by impure milk. Mr.. Jones,
however, as in some other cases re-
ported, has not used any milk and
he is inclined to think that his i'll
ness was caused from some cooked
ham he ate shortly before he was
taken with the attack.

Want MUSIC C0NSER-

Local Musicians and Other Business
Men Interested in Such

Webster City stands good show
Of having a conservatory of music
should plans now being considered
go through. For some time past sew
eral local musicians and business
men, have been interested in this
matter and have been quietly work.
ing to this end. 1t is their desire to
procure the plot of ground on the
east side of the river known as the
old fair grounds as a site for the
proposed institution. AS this land
is controlled by the county SUPER
visors, the music school promoters
will ask them for the site and it is
understood the county officials will
do their part in the matter. The
remainder of the funds to build the
conservatory will be forth coming
among the interested parties, togeth-
err with financial assistance already
offered by others who have heard of
the proposition.
1t is the desire of the promoters
to procure the services of Prof. A. E.
Bullock of Ellsworth College, Iowa
Falls, as president and head in
structor. A proposition was made
to him some time ago and though
he has not yet given his final an
swer, it is known that he looks with
favor on the offer and may accept
it. Prof. Bullock would be a great
addition to any school of this kind,
as his ability as a teacher Of vocal
and instrumental music is well
known throughout this section OF
country. Mr.. Bullock is a graduate
of Oberlin College, Oberlin, Ohio.
Following his completing of the
course there, he studied in Leipsic,
Germany, for one year and finished
under the able instruction of Vanini
and Boumsici, both located at Flor
ence, Italy. and among the worlds
best music teachers. Mrs. Bullock,
sic. would also be placed on the To-
cal faculty staff. Mrs. Bullock, too,
Is a graduate of Oberlhl and has TAX
en- instruction from the most promi-
nent teachers in the United States.
AS Mr.. and Mrs. Bullock are instruc-
tors upon most any kind of musical
instrument, the local conservatory
would be able to accept students
who desire instruction in either vo-
cal or instrumental music. AS head
of the music school the Bullocks
would be hard to improve on and
their presence would add greatly to
the popularity of the place with
outside towns.
The parties who are working on
the conservatory idea are hoping to
erect new buildings for the institu-
ton. They will have at least three
large structures with the latest mod
ern conveniences, furnishing recita-
ton rooms, dormitories and study
rooms large enough to accommodate
two hundred students, The men be-
hind the movement have consulted
the local school authorities and will
arrange to enter into the high school
at q nominal tuition fee students

in the Patten cotton corner case in

Notwithstanding the reports that

the case was submitted to the court
on the general principles that there
have been violations Of the Sherman
antitrust law.
Interest attached to the case against
Patten and others because it is an
open attempt on the part of the gov

break up corners in wheat, cotton and
other staples and to end agreements
to purchase in excess of the known
supply or to make contracts for the
future delivery of such products.
