Practically the same amount OF
money will be spent for schools on the
south side of town as on the north
side. if the bond issue to be voted on
April carries. If the city grows rs
lit Is expected that it will, more event
ually will be expended on the south
side districts. A glance at the pro-
lposed figures shows this to be true.
The total bond issue asked for is
s95 600. Forty-five thousand of this
sum is to be spent on the south side
districts, $4,000 to start the seventh
ward school, and $4,000 for the addi-
/ ton to the Lincoln.
!! The school board will only build a
six room building to start with in the
seventh ward, now, but if the city
grows as 1t is expected, there will be
some $4,000 expended in a short time
for the seventh ward school, when adj
ditions will be necessary.
The argument that lately has been
produced that the south side was not
going to get as much OF che money
in the bond issue as the north side
Is shown to be absurd by glance al
the figures.
i Keoluk is way behind the south
e1n Iowa cities in the matter of build
ing schools. She is VIGOROUSLY behint

matter. When the George Washing

Scarcity Of Opium Felt.

Codeine. a very largely used mar
cotic. is more than twice its normal
value. owing to the scarcity Of
opium. Carbolic acid continues to
advance in price, and it is not at all
unlikely that the cost of household
disinfectant, may be increased. The
most noteworthy of the few articles
which have declined In value is gly-
GERM, which, after long period Of
high value, now shows signs of COM
ing down in price.

THE ROYAL.

The Vitagraph players, than whom there are no better in the motion picture world, will present for your approval today, one of the sweetest dramatic stories this company has ever produced with Lucia Swayne Gordon and Tefft Johnson, two of Vitagraph's most celebrated stars in the leads "Lueia's Love Story" is the title of this splendid drama and you miss a good one if you miss it.
 Pathe comes with a juvenile drama in which there is many a comic scene, especially the love making be- tween two juveniles who imagine that they are sorely stricken in an affair of the heart. 'The Minister'S Daugh- ter" will certainly charm you with the excellent theme of the story and the splendid acting of the leading characters.
 Biograph comes again today with
 "The Abandoned We'll" a thrilling drama, in which the situations are tense and the scenic surroundings more than beautiful.
 1t is a wonderfully interesting pro- gram for the weeks close, and you should make it a point to see it.
