Preparation town and a dubious new religious sect
A 600 to 800 population town near Monona County north of Council Bluffs hosts a group calling itself the Conteprezites led by Charles B. Thompson, editor of The Newspaper.

The report also notes a suicide mystery at Kilbourn City involving Amelia Dutcher, and local election color with humor about Democratic spending.
