CHEAPER LIGHT AND POWER.
Sioux City Company Makes Voluntary
Reduction in Rates.

Sioux City, Aug. 9.-Material reduc-
tions in the price of electric light and
power were announced by L. L. KEEL
logg. president of the Sioux City Gas
and Electric Company, to become ef-
fective at once, in line with the COM
panys campaisn 10 sell more current
and to sell K cheaper.
The reduction. which amounts to %
per cent in residence rates. was un-
solicited, ac .ording to Mr.. Kellogg. and
probably is the first time in the history
of the city that a public service cor
poration has made a voluntary cut in
prices.
That the city which has a ten-year
contract with the corporation under
the old system of rates also will share
in the reduction is shown by the an
nouncement that sixty candle power
lamps will be substituted for the 1850
thirty-two candle power lamps now in
use. The change will be made in the
near future BY the increase in candle
power of the street lamps, Mr.. Kellogg
declared. the company expects to fore
stall future complaints of poor light
ing in the residence district and posi-
by TO provide a factor in the minim-
izing. the number Of holdups and rob-
berries in the hill district which have
been ascribed largely to inadequate
lighting.

he was back at the desk, having

BANK ROBBERY.
SEVERAL GOOD LEADS

Man Who Answered Description Given
by Teller Perrin Found to Have
Been involved Only in Love Affair
PERKINS, Stay in Chicago Said to
Have Been Without Results.

Cedar Rapids Aug. 9.-What prom
ised to develop into the finest lead
that the detectives here to investigate
the robbery of the Cedar Rapids Ma
tional Bank have yet picked up, gave
some of the best of the sleuths several
hours of hard work Saturday after
noon and evening. AT first it seemed
that they had surely picked up the
right trail. There was a chain of facts
which seemed to fit together like the
titles in floor.
For some time before the robbery
happened a man who answered Mr..
PERKINS, description Of the bank rob-
Der fairly we'll had been seen staying
at one of the principal hotels in the
city. And he had been paying some
attention to an attractive young wo-
man, who was supposed to be in q
position to pick up some reliable in
formation as to the internal workings
of the bank.
On the night before the robbery was
perpetrated this man left his rooms at
the hotel, checked out and engaged
rooms in private home in the city.
He paid a weeks rent for his rooms
and the next morning arose at o'clock
as nearly as the members of the house
hold could determine. He was not
seen again until o'clock that morn
ing wher he appeared at the bar Of
a certain saloon in this city and asked
the bartender for a drink of whisky

That seemed like a good arrange

detectives and certain members of the
police department in fever of excite
ment. They went to the hotel, they
chased up the bartender and they
chased up the house where he had
stayed only one night after paying a

about the pretty girl in the case. But
Saturday night they solemnly de-
clared that there wasn't. a thing to
it."

to soon place this state on u par with

MIA Is now.
The proprietors Of the Rhode Island
Red farm, near Waverly, have pur-

arrived last week in good condition.
They expect to experiment with the
birds and determine If they can be sue

have been informed by others more
versed in ostrich raising. they are In
clined to believe tLat 1t will not be a
difficult task to winter them in Iowa
and if they find that this can be done,
they will engage extensively in the
raising of ostriches for their plumage
and Iowa will secure its first ostrich
farm.
