The effort to move the Eckham school house near Traer further north and abandon West Union and move the VaVIiete school building further south nearly a mile, to likely to cause considerable of a law suit.

The case now is in the district court and will probably be tried in the present term. The citizens objecting claim that the action was not only illegal, but is not warranted by the conditions. The federal grand jury at Keokuk has been Investigating a complaint made by the Iowa Soap company of Burlington. The charge was made that a competing company with a similar name at Keokuk had been receiving and opening letters addressed to the first, named concern and taking advantage of the business. It Is stated that the company complained to the postofflce authorities and as a result the matter was taken up by the grand Jury.

No indictment, however, has as yet been returned. E. I. Bmery! of Griswoid, who was fined $300 and costs at the April term of court for keeping a liquor nuisance In connection with his hotel business, is threatened with prosecution under the habitual criminal act that may give him a sentence in the penitentiary if he does not cease his business.

Last May. he says, so roe pretended charges were made against him and without any hearing his certificate was revoked. He says if he starts to practice again the board has threatened him with criminal prosecution.

White asks that the board be enjoined from proceeding farther against him; that he be ier-mltted to return to his practice, and that he be permitted to make an appearance and give his side of the case against him. Boone has had a couple of fatal cases Of dlptheria. A mild epidemic of diphtheria le reported at Clare. Mrs. Rachael Leland of Waterloo died at her home in that city Wednesday.

On account of diphtheria the public schools In Pleusunt Valley have oeen closed. Robert Stewart, an old time resident of Iowa City, passed away Wednesday at hla hume. A. C. Brooks of Auburn while feeding a buzz raw at his place had three of his fingers taken rr.

Good strings of wall-eyed pike are being taken from the Iowa river in and around Marshalltown. Dr. E. R. Walker, formerly of the Slate university hospital service, has located at Princeton, Iowa.

Charles Youngqulst while at work in the Farmers' Klevator at Gowrle had the misfortune to break his arm. The new $9,000 organ being installed In the Congregational church in Grin-ncll will be completed tilts week. The Iowa Central strike at Marshall-town Is very quiet at present and no now developments have taken place. Gas lights have proven so unsatisfactory at Kellogg that electric lights have been substituted in many cases. Benjamin Henning of Cherokee has been appointed city engineer at Webster City and will move there at once.

It la understood that a sliver plating concern is about to be opened in Des Moines for retail and commercial work. The town of Britt Is putting In about a half mile of four-Inch water mains as an extension to the water works system. The Hancock County Sunday School association met at Brltt last week. A large attendance and a good program were features. The team of Andrew Head of Grln-nell became frightened and threw him from his buggy, breaking his legs above the ankles.

S. E. Miller, engineer at the American Can factory in Davenport, had his hand smashed by having it caught In the machinery. Burlington citizens will observe tomorrow as "Cleaning Day," when all rubbish is supposed to be gathered and properly disposed oj. Ringgold county has the largest cash balance In fifteen years.

There is now on hand $61,650.12. The county is practically out of debt. November Grand Jury Will Be Asked to Indict Carnival Management, and Possibly Others, Although No Other Names Are Mentioned As Yet. There is blood on the moon. The county attorney to going to get busy.

He proposes to make a horrible example of somebody. Incidentally, he will earn a few "honest dollars" for himself. Mr. Wa kins' 4legal adviser has given It out cold thafi the carnival management will be indicted by the November grand Jury. He also adds, paranthetically, that it was understood that nothing should be done with the carnival management until the November term.

Just what that means the public to at liberty to guess, for the September session of the grand jury adjourned just before the carnival opened. Mr. Watkins has not indicated whether he will attempt to indict any other law-breaking concerns, such as fair associations which permit tli sale of boose on their grounds, the operar tlon of all sorts of gambling devices and the presence of the worst kind of women. Neither has he Indicated whether he will investigate a certain picnic held down on 'the Interurban In September, but It Is presumed that he will, for It would be extremely Inconsistent to make fish of one and fowl of another. The Gazette Is not rushing to the defense of the carnival management, for outside of Davenport, Dubuque, Burlington and a few other cities the people of Iowa are supposed to be law-abiding and law-observing.

But inasmuch as the county attorney will get his winter's fuel bill out of the fine imposed upon the carnival management, if an indictment is returned, it would seem that he wouldn't overlook any good opportunity to get himself a good winter overcoat, the price of a trip to some warmer locality along about Christmas, and a few other nice little things. Of course Mr. Watkins will have an opportunity to get busy in November, whether he is re-elected or not, for his term doesn't expire until December 31. It is perhaps well for hirn, politically, that the grand jury does not convene until after election. In some respects Mr.

Watkins has been very considerate. If he had enforced the law at his command the carnival management would have been prevented from permitting the sate of a drop fit beer on the grounds week before last. But then it is probably better, as a business proposition, for the management to pay a fine and "statutory attorney's fees" than It would be to be prohibited from letting the beer privilege. Mr. Watkins is very sure of one thing, moreover: If he gets a Judgment for his statutory attorney's fe? against the carnival association it will be good, whereas he might have difficulty in collecting from some other concerns In Linn county.

But it is strange how much more criminal an association is which per- mits the Bale of beer on Its premises, for a few days in the year and on a special occasion, than are the owners charge of the catholic students attending the university. William Root, an old resident of Charles City, is dead.
