To Close Heating Plant

About two hundred homes and

or suffer with the cold next winter
If the Iowa Railway and Light Co.
carries out their plans.
They have informed Che patrons
by registered letter that owing to
the fact that the heating plant has
been losing money, it will be closed
down. Their franchise expired on
May goth and they do not feet that
il should be renewed-at least at
the present rates.
The action of the company comes
as a big surprise in Perry. NJ. G..
Lyon, local manager, states that he
knew nothing of the move until a
few days ago. He had been working
on a plan to eliminate some of the
non-paying lines, but it seems that
company officers have decided to
take a step which is decidedly radi-
cal.
The edict has caused consterna-
tion among the people who have been
patrons of the company for so long.
1t is believed that even in normal
conditions it would be nearly impos-
sible for everyone to install a heat
ing system by fall. and with material
so hard to get, there is sure to be

In one of the rooms of the Hotel

Millions OF bushels of corn and

Anita PostoHice BurgIarized

Cracksmen Friday night invaded
the Anita postoffice, blew the lock
off the safe, and made their get

robbery was not discovered until
Saturday morning when Postmaster

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. George
Bigger, who live two miles north
west of Manson, was the victim of
mysterious and fiendish assault
Monday evening about $3.50 o'clock.
As she was about to enter her
home, she was seized by a man who
attempted to force concoction of
carbolic acid and other deadly pois-
on down her throat. In the strug-
gle, the poison was spilled on the
girls face and arms, burning her
skin in several places. The assail-
ant did not succeed in forcing her
to swallow the mix,rre.
The girls says she was returning
from an clubhouse anc was only a
few feet from the door of ner home
when she was attacked. She says
her assailant was a tall man. He
seized her and pressed the poison to
her mouth. She struggled and pre-
vented him from accomplishing his
purpose. The man carried the
poison in the top of a baking powder
can, which he left as he fed.
After emptying the poison, the as
sailant pressed a note in the girls
hand. The note told her parents
that he was killing her for no
reason whatever and that / am do
ing IL because / have nothing else to
do" The note was signed Mr.. No
body from Nowhere"
During the attack, the girls par
ents were seated in the house a few
feet away. They heard nothing
and the girl had no time to give an
alarm.
After the attack the girl made her
way into the house and informed her
parents as to what had happened
Mr.. Bigger Immediately called a
physician and notified Sheriff Keen
ey at Rockwell City.
Sheriff Keeney teiegrapned to
Waterloo for bloodhounds. They
came in the early morning train and
were put to work. They followed
trail for a short distance, but
searchers had tracked \over the
ground so thoroughly that it was
impossible for the dogs to work eff,
ficiently.
No clues have been found that
would lead to the Identification of
the assailant. Sheriff Keeney
states that he is working on theory
that may lead to developments.

promptly removed the apron and
smothered the flames about the
room. Her face and hands were
quite severely burned by the ex-

The flames in the room were extin-
guished before they could catch in
the wood work and no damage was
done to the interior of the home.
The explosion was caused by large
quantity of black powder which had
been deposited in the box several
years ago-possibly in the good old
days when muzzle leaders and buck
shot was used to repel Indian at
tacks.

Atlantic MethOdists to Build New
Church Next Year

Actual construction of the pro-
posed new 100000 church edifice of
the Atlantic First Methodist church
will not begin until next spring.
This is the decision of the board of
trustees after a canvass of the stu
alton as regards the campaign for
funds and the probability of getting
acceptable bids on the construction
work. The needed funds are assur-
ed, say members of the board. While
the entire 100000 has not been
raised, it is said the drive for funds
has sufficiently advanced to insure
its success. The time between now
and next spring will be utilized in
completing the raising of the $780,
900 fund and the letting Of the
contract for the new building. 1t
is the plan of the board to let the
contract in time to have the con-
struction work begin early in the
spring.

failure of the American bankers to re-

Britain has stepped into the breach

good will toward the United States.
While the complete transaction is a
good business deal for Great Britain,
the fact stands out in public opinion
that the British did what the Amer
