From Tuesday's Laj;y
The newly constructed highway
leading from the eastern end of the
new traffic bridge over the Missouri
river to Pacific Junction and Glen
wood was underway today in full
force.
The contractors on the work have
secured the gravel from the Bell
gravel pits north of this city and
I the gravel is being conveyed in trucks
to the scene of activity and spread
alontr the highway to give it a hard
surface and to provide an all wea
ther road from this city to Glenwood
and ioining the paved highway at
that place.
The road has been graded up in
fine shape by the Iowa and Mills
county authorities and is well up
above any possible overflows of the
river and in the construction of the
new road all possible curves and
turns have been avoided, making it
a fine straight piece of road from
the bridge until the turn into Paci
fic Junction.
The contract for the work from
Glenwood to Pacific Junction is be
ing let and assures by the coming of
winter that this road will be up in
the very best of shape and open for
travel at all times and under all
conditions.
The completion of the gravel will
be a great boon for the Iowa farm
ers and stock raisers as it gives them
the nearest and best route into the
great stock markets and wholesale
centers of Omaha with their cattle,
hogs and produce.

TWO ACCUSED OF FORGING
Detroit Warrants were Issued
here Tuesday against two members
of a gang of five alleged forgers,
who according to police have oper
ated a "charity racket" in Detroit
and other large cities, forging the
names of prominent persons. Wal
ter Marks, alias Marx, under arrest
in Buffalo, and Frank Ross, alias
Carpenter, alias Louis Krohn, held
by Cleveland police, are named in
the warrants which were issued on
compiaint of the First National bank
of eDtroit and signed by Judge Kil
patrick of recorder's court.
The name of Mrs. Nell Ford Tor
rev, Grosse Pointe Shores society
woman, wa3 forged on two checks
for $500 and $700, according to
Lieut. Frank Yank. A woman who
gave her name as Mrs. Mabel Marks
was arrested with Marks and is held
at Buffalo, Lieutenant Yank said.
He said that Ross and Marks have
admitted forging Mrs. Torrey's name.
FAIL TO RECALL MAYOR
Sioux Falls An attempt to recall
Mayor George W. Burnside and Alex
Reider, street commissioner, failed in
a special election Tuesday. Burnside,
mayor for twenty-two years, defeated
A. N. Graff, 5,248 to 5,026 votes
while Reid easily was elected over
Eliis O. Smith. Charges of ineffi
ciency, improper government and po-
! litical favoritism against Mayor
l Burnside brought about the recall
election.
Retail buying among merchants is
ahead of last year, according to mem
bers of the Allied Clothiers and Job
bers association, who opened their
meeting at the Paxton hotel at Oma
ha Sunday. Cold weather has im
proved business, they reported.
"Optimism is prevalent
among the retailers," declared
Edward Gugenheim of Lincoln,
president of the association.
"Dealers have been a little cau
tious in the past, but now they
are buying good quantities for
immediate consumption as well
as for spring. They are buying
more quality goods than ever
before. People want good mer
chandise and are willing to pay
for it."
Business conditions are good in
:he vicinity of Toledo, la., according
to Karl Kupka and Reuben Shaw.
"We can't complain," they
stated. "A good part of our
trade comes from farmers and
they are in the market for" every
thing the need. Crops look
good in Iowa."
Business seems steady to Jean Mc-
Cammon, who has an exclusive men's
store in Des Moines. He looks for
ward to an improvement.
"I believe the association is
stimulating business in this part
of the country," stated John H.
Conley, Watertown, S. D., ex
clusive director.
Organize Demo
cratic Club in
Rock Bluffs
Albert Wheeler Named as President
and Mrs. E. B. Hutchison as
Secretary of Club
The democratic voters of East
Rock Bluff Precinct last night or
ganized a club composed of prac
tically a hundred members. The
school house was filled to its seat
ing capacity. County Chairman, D.
O. Dwyer presided and made the prin
ciple address after which the organi
zation was perfected by selecting the
following officers:
Albert Wheeler, President.
Mrs. Joe Campbell, First Vice
President.
Mrs. Fred Campbell, Second Vice
President.
Mrs. E. B. Hutchinson, Secretary.
Mike Kaffenberger, Treasurer.
A half dozen or more members
were called on for short talks and
responded enthusiastically for the
cause.
The trend of the speaking being
that extravagence and unnecessnry
expenditure of public funds must be
stopped in order that there be re
duction in taxes in the state and
throughout the nation.
The club adopted permanent rules
and regulations and will continue
from year to year with monthly
meetings at which will be discussed
the various bills presented to the
legislature and such action taken
thereon as might meet the approva1
cf a club. These organizations are
bringing the control of governmental
affairs closer to the people where
they belong and if every precinct
in the county and throughout the
state would ororanize such as now
exists In Eight Mile Grove and East
Rock Bluff precincts, government
would then be functioning by the
will of the peonle. Other precincts
are now considering the formation
of similar clubs and with the suc
cess already attained there is no
doubt, but it is only a question of
time until the entire county i?
thoroughly organized.

excuse for tardiness revealed Tuesdav
how a father had slain his wife and
four children, then committing sui
cide. Robert Thorsen, on his way to
school, stopped at the home of
George Froseth, sixty, assistant post
master, to return a book. The door
was locked and when he looked thru
a window he saw the bodv of Mrs.
Froseth. "There's something wrong
at the Froseth home," he told his
teacher, explaining why he was late.
The teacher went on with classes
and at recess notified authorities.
They first found the bodies of Mrs.
frosein, iorty-nve; (jeorge, jr.,
eleven; Adelaide and Neil, twins,
nine and "Bootsie," six years old.
The husband had beaten them to
death with a hammer, and had
slashed his own throat with a razor.
The authorities believe Froseth
became suddenly insane in the
night and went from room to room
beating the slepers. after which he
went to an upstairs bath room and
fatally wounded himself. He had
staggered downstars and as far as
the living room, where the body was
found. Froseth had held public office

WOODCOCK DENIES STORY
St. Louis Amos W. W. Woodcock,
director of prohibition enforcement,
told reporters here Tuesday in reply
to their inquiries that recent pub
lished reports quoting him as saying
It Is not unlawful to manufacture
beer and wine in the home for home
consumption were "absurd."
"I never made such a statement,"
he said, "because home manufacture
of any beverage containing one-half
of 1 per cent of alcohol is illegal
and is specifically prohibited by the
national prohibition act. What I
have been trying to do is to direct
enforcement activities against com
mercial violators of the law and li
quor trafficking on large scales."
