Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 34, Number 44, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 January 1902 — Wants The Volcano Suppressed. [ARTICLE]

Wants The Volcano Suppressed.

A petition is being circulated and will be presented to the county commissioners, next week, asking that some means be adopted to diminish the big black volume of coal smoke that usually rolls - out of the chimney of the court house heating station. It is a serious annoyance to families living anywheres near tbe volcano when it is in violent eruption, and that is pretty well towards a good deal of the time, these days.
