ENLARGING FURNITURE STORE

Stearns and McCormick's Furniture
Store is now being enlarged so that
there will be more floor space and
show room for the large stock of goods
that this firm finds it necessary TO
handle. The building has been raised
two feet and enlarged from "a to 20
feet to 40 by 10 feet and a two story
addition 23 by 40 feet built on the
back. When completed it will be 40
by SO feet The new part will be con-
crete block and there will be show
rooms for both rugs and linoleums.
The building for some time has
been sinking, probably due to the
fact that it now stands where the.
river once was. This has made it nee
essary to raise the structure. The con-
crete, floor was left as a foundation
and board floor raised two feet
above is nearing completion.
The front of the building is not to
be changed and few alterations are
being made in the second story.
Stearns & Mccormick are still
doing business and the store will not
be closed any of the time. An attractive
line Of new furniture and floor cover
ings is expected by the firm about
October 10. They WILL however, not
have their formal opening until the
first of November.

TRAGEDY ON HAWKEYE HIGHWAY

Two cars going at terrific speed on
the Hawkeye Highway near Dubuque
on Monday evening crashed into each
other, with the result that the driver
of one car is dead, one woman in
critical condition in hospital, and
the others more or less injured. The
two cars, of course, are scrap from.
All this happened for no other reason
than that the Des Moines man who
was driving the death car responsible
for the accident, was filled up ON
moonshine. So long as men are going
to drive high powered automobiles
while in state of intoxication. so
long will such terrible accidents occur
