Teachers Present.

The Northwest Iowa Teachers

of the largest enrollments in the
history of the association. Only
about two hundred were Fort Dodge

convention. Much favorable COM
ment has been heard of the associa-
tion in regard to the meeting just
closed. ~
The meeting place for next year
has not been decided upon, although

ANOTHER BURGLARY
ADDED TO THE LIST
H. L. Wise Bottling Works Entered
Saturday Night Nothing
Taken by Thief.

With the lapse of about two
sweeks time another attempt at burg
larizing was tried Saturday night.
The thief, whoever he is, is clever
in waiting until the excitement OF
each robbery has somewhat abated
before entering upon another explo-
it. This time it was the H. l.. Wise
bottliAg works, the culprit having
taken out window light in the rear
of the basement and crawled
through into the building. The safe
in the store was unmolested, cash
register being the only thing that
Mr.. Wise can see had been tamper-
ed with. However, this register is
MT used, the proprietor having it
simply as means of convenience
when down at. the state fair each
year. The back door to the base
ment had been unbolted, showing
the more convenient exit preferred
by the thief.

occupied.
OF all those present who were
