ing are part Of the public oulioing
improvements for Grinneli during the
presen. year. This in round numbers:
The city sewerage extensions Will
amount to 100000 and contracts have
been made.
The college ladies' dormitory will
cost 100000.
The merchants material building Is
a $50 1000 enterprise.
The Grinnell Herald will expend
500, 900 in a new building and improved
machinery.
The Laros Buggy Company will
make additional building improve
ments amounting to $4,000.
The Monroe Hotel is to have nine
ty foot addition and over $4,000 Is the
cost.
Messrs, Talbot and Summers have
bought the west end OF the Grinnell
block, and their Improvements Will cost
at least $1,000. g}a4
And it is more than probable the
Congregational church will this year
build $50, 900 parsonags.

Congress has even considered the
matter Of enough Importance to leg

A number of states have enacted

Although the matter has been fire.

done in Iowa to make chattel loaning
legal. We have here but tho one legal
rate of interest, 3 per cent, and chat
tel loans at that rate are out Of the
question. The result II illegal loans
at rates extortionate enough to Justify
the risk.
The Massachusetts law, which IL

provides for q legal rate OF i u pei cent

section, Ali Reed of Vale, Butte

accept the Bull Moose nomination
for governor in the November cleo

fill all vacancies.
Ali Reed is quite a character in
the northern Black Hills. He is at
present farming near Vale and also
conducts q salient little paper called
the Call to Action which he pub
fishes every little once in a while
and is Chiefly characterized by its
bitter attacks on Governor Byrne and
republican and democratic officials.
high and low. Reed for some years
a rural telephone service
to the farmers out. of Sturgis, is a
vigorous fighter, a man of strong
opinions just as strongly expressed
and a t~ireless worker. He has been
claiming to belong to the Progressive
partyRsin this state, opposed e. l..
Sem of this city, one of the first
patrons, in the latter's attempt to
dominate the Huron meeting. Reed
has been active in his adocacy of the
Kid Korn Klub, an organization of
boys in the western part of the state
to develop better corn growers by
means Of prizes and systematic train-t
ing. He is new in politics except
through the part he has taken with
his paper in opposing the present
state administration.

FIND LIGHT SHINING
ON TINWARE.

There were burglars there sail
right. You could see their flashlights
shining and If you were real quiet,
you could hear them walking
around.
The situation vas serious. VIM.
Anderson, night clerk at the Mil
waukee freight house, wanted to pro-
tect the goods in the warehouse but
he did not care to face the guns OF
the burglars whom he could see
walked about.
1t was clear that more help would
be needed to repel the attack of the
invaders. So a switchman was hail
ed and pressed into service. He took
n glance into the warehouse, saw
the lights of the burglars flashing
about and decided that discretion
was the better part of valor. The
call-boy was then Stationed at the
outside entrance to the warehouse
and Mr.. Anderson wen to the jun
gle restaurant to telephone to the
police. 1t would no do to give the
alarm in the freight Office.
Finally Patrolmen Darling and
Kirkpatrick arrived. Drawing their
guns, they peered into the warehouse
The flashlights of the burglars were
still glimmering. But undaunted.
they marched in and up to the spot
where the miscreants were hiding.
About that time they perceived
that the lights of the flashes were
nothing more than the reflection
from the light in the office, which
showed forth every time the office
door was opened.
