TWO TUBERCULOSIS HOSPITALS.
State to Make improvements Cost
ing $4,000 at OakdaIe
Institution.

Plans for two new buildings to be
erected this year at the state tuber-
culosis hospital at Oakdale have
been completed by H. F. Tiebbe,
state architect. One building will
be erected at cost of $4,000. 1t
will be three stories in height and
will be used for the care of advanc-
ed tubercular cases. The second
building Will cost $4,000 and will
be used as the medical and admins
tration building.
The architect is also rushing plans
for a $4,000 custodial building to
be erected at the inebriate asylum at
Knoxville, and an $4,000 laundry
to be constructed at Glenwood. Plans
for these structures will be complet-
ed so that the work may be begun
early in the summer and be finished
by fall.
This will practically clean up all
of the appropriations for new build
ings made by the Thirty-fifth general
assembly. There is a small tuber-
cular hospital planned for the school
for the feeble minded at Glenwood,
but this will not be much of a con-
tract, the architect says.

A Disastrous Fire at CrescO.

Cresco was visited Tuesday night
by its most disastrous fire in several
years. Just before midnight, board
ers at the Arlington hotel discovered
fire in the large implement house of
Woods, Schneider & Herold, just
across the street When discovered
the fire had made such Roadway that
flames were bursting from the win
dows, and the building was doomed.
The work of the fire department was
to save adjacent buildings, and to
their good work is due the keeping
of the destruction to the large ware
house, small building occupied by
Mrs. Bonn and the Joe Wendl pool
hall, and stopping the fire at the old
Gibbey building within five feet of
the pool hall.
The fire started back of the Office
near the oil room and it is presumed
that defective electric wiring or mat
ches and mice caused the blaze.
Woods, Schneider G Herold sus-
tain big loss, as good part of their
spring goods were already in stock.
They estimate their loss on building
and stock at $4,000 with insurance
of half that amount, $13,500 on
stock and $500 on buildings, which
consisted of the warehouse, the
building occupied by Mrs. Bonn and
barn.
Mrs. Bonn lost all her stock of con-
fectionery and her household goods
and clothing, with no insurance.
Joe Wendl lest all his stock, his
household goods and clothing. He
was awakened by the falling of the
floor in the warehouse, and had no
time to save anything but his family
and the clothes they hastily donned.
He carried insurance of $1,000 on
the building. and $500 on contents.

MAN SOLD AT AUCTION.
on Auction Block to Highest
Bidder.

One of the most unusual occurren-
at the farm of Hiram James, in the
vicinity of Dana, few days ago. 1t
wasn't exactly the sale of man at
public auction, but so near it that
the difference was not pronounced.
The man sold his time to the high
est bidder and the desire for his SER
vices on the part of the neighboring
farmers made the bidding spirited.
When Mr.. James sold out and re-
tired from the farm he had working
for him Russian farm hand. The
man was a steady, energetic young
fellow and all of the farmers who
knew him wanted his services after
his contract with James expired In
order to give them all chance to en-
gage him, the idea Of selling his time
from March 1 20 October / was con-
ceived
Auctioneer Frank Luther of Grand
Junction, who was in charge of the
sale, placed the man on a box by his
side, explained the situation as thor
oughly and as enthusiastically as
though he was selling pedigreed an
imal, told his age, habits, the amount
of work he could do, etc., and called
for bids. They came fast and in a
short time an offer of $35 per month,
with the usual board, washing and
keep was made. The farm hand was
knocked down" to a neighbor, who
later relinquished his right when an
other man offered $40 per month.
Since the sale nearly every farm
hand in the community is thinking
of getting himself sold" in the hope
that his wages will be raised.
Vincent Mitchell, another expert
farm hand, had his services auction
ed off to the highest bidder last week
also.
His former employer decided to re-
tire and held closing out sale, Nit
chell's services were so much in de-
mand that those present at the sale
agreed to have him placed at auc-
ton, he going to the highest bidder.
John Canavan gets the man, agree
ing to pay him $50 per month, with
board, room and washing.

600.
Inc silk was given the Milwaukee
company at Tacoma, Wash, and is
billed to firm IN New York City. II
is insured for it's full value during
the shipment.
The Milwaukee is making a record
run with the train, planning to land

WOMEN VOTE AT POsTvILLE.
At a Special Election Held Last
Week, Show Their knowledge
of the Ballot.

Happy days! Hurrah! The progress
sive people of Postville Independent
School District made a big forward
stride Monday, when by a vote of al
most four to one they decided to
bond the district for $40, 900 to erect
a new school building.
In all AIS votes were cast, 365
Yes" and only SO No" There were
IA defective ballots.
The men cast 253 votes-190 Yes,
81 No and defective.
The women cast 223 ballots-175
Yes, AZ No and defective. AS the
women only vote few times during
a century, while the men vote early
and often and absolutely know all
there is about it, it is strange the wo-
men had but two defective ballots
more than the men. All of which
goes to show that If they had the bal
lot all the time, as they ought, they
would make us intellectual giants
look like 80 cents.
The outcome of Mondays election
is the biggest step forward Postville
has taken in years, and will put it
distinctly on the map as town that
is awake and doing things. 1t will
put us in the front ranks among the
High Schools of Iowa; it will give
our children the best possible school
facilities and will draw to us many
boys and girls from outside. We
will soon be ready now to let the

IOWA RECORDS OF WEATHER..
Prof. Smith Shows Only Two Whit
ers Warmer Than This Year.

Iowa City, Iowa, Mch. 2.-"When
December and January are consid-
cred in succession only two winters
in the past fifty years have been
warmer than the present" said Pro-
lessor A. G.. Smith, of the University
of Iowa, yesterday. These were in
December and January '77-7S and
'9O-'91.
THE mean temperature for De-
cember II and January '7S was
something over 33 degrees" contin-
ued Professor Smith, who keeps the
weather records in this city, "and the
temperature of 80 and 81 almost
reached 81 degrees, while during the
last two months the average temper
ature was nearly 80 degrees"
Since the weather observations
were begun at Iowa City by DR.. Par
vim in 1860, there have been five De-
cembers with a temperature equal to
or higher than the one just past.
The warmest December was in 18-
II and it was so far above normal
that such temperature could not be
expected, from the standpoint of
probability, to occur once in CEN
fury.
