ing at the school building several
farmer lines were clipped and for two
or three days much telephone talk was

West Union-A wire was received
from the United States railway board
to cancel the proposed railway meet
ing as it has been definitely decided "
run all trains on the Rock Island thru
to DEBORAH beginning March 80. This
Is very pleasing news as there has
been but one passenger train each. way
per day north Of West Union, the pas
seIger run in the evening terminating
here the following day. There has
been much interest displayed not only
in West Union and Elsin and Cler-
mont but also in the towns south be-
cause it made it impossible for people
residing between West Union and De-
corah to transact business In West
Union or Oefwein and return the same
cay. The new service will give two
thru passenger trains between DEBORAH
and Cedar Rapids each way daily.
Sioux City-For three months
Michael Carney. Of South Sioux City
has been keeping alive on his daugh-
ter's blood. Miss Katherine Carney, Il
years old, submitted herself to a third
TRANSMISSION, and Carney's life again
has been prolonged. Out of tilial love
Miss Carney has given nearly five
pounds of her blood. The series of
transfusions have extended over per-
Iod of three months. The first time
she was required to give twenty two
ounces of her blood to sustain life in
her fathers body. A full two pounds
was taken In the next operation, while
the last exchange Of blood between
father and daughter amounted to one
pound. In all Miss Carney has given
about two quarts of blood to fight off
pernicious anemia- which is gradually
emaciating her father. After each
TRANSMISSION Mr.. Carney has rallied, but
gradually the disease again gets hold
on him and his daughter cheerfully re-
peats her sacrifice.

!o-s codse-Thc e. y. Rich. q. NJ.
Olson and Leon Vincent homes were
entered by burglars. These homes are
closed while the families are in Cali
fornia for the winter and it Is thought
that little or nothing OF value was
taken as such articles were either put
In deposit boxes or taken with the
owners. These residences are all To-
Gated on Third avenue south between
Twelfth and Eighth streets. The Rich
burglary was discovered yesterday
when Willis Rich went to his parents
home and found that the house had
been entered. Everything was In con-
fusion. The thieves had entered by
breaking cellar window and chopping
out the door from the cellar to the
kitchen. They had made thorough
search Judging from the overturned
drawers and closets Mr.. Rich said
that 1t was difficult to estimate how
much was taken but he thought little,
as valuables had been taken to the
safety box, A collection Of Mexican
coins amounting to about twenty dol
lars was gone. Report OF the yandal-
age led to investigation Of other homes
in the neighborhood with the result
mentioned above Several houses on
the same street which are also closed
for the winter were not touched.
