Two Of our town lads-one q student
of Theology-thc other University stud.
ent had occasion few days ago to
stop at the town Of Lamoille in Marshall
County, Iowa, on business. Having trans
acted their business they betook them
selves to the C & N. w. r. w. depot to
take the western bound train. When they
found upon inquiry that the night train
did not stop there as they had supposed.
After consultation they concluded to try
the difficult feat Of boarding passing
train. When they saw the headlight OF
the locomotive in the distance they sta
toned themselves on either side OF the
track for the venture. On came the train,
car after car passed them until the plat
form of the rear car came directly opposite
where they stood. simultaneously both
lads made spring for the rail around the
platform. The University student sue
cceded in making the landing all safe
Not SO with our Theologian; he went wide

the track from whence he sprang. Moth
ing daunted however, he gathered him.
self up and struck out for the train at
two forty gait. An eye witness informs
us that he would have succeeded in catch
ing the hind car, had he not carelessly
caught his foot in between the ties,
wrenching off q boot heel, throwing him
self head long down steep embank-
ment. The University student seeing the
discontinue of his comrade, and imagining
all sorts Of horsid scenes of mangled re-
mains and such, leaped from the train and
fastened to the assistance OF his fellow
traveller, arriving just in time to assist
him to regain his feet. He was not badly
injured but considerably bruised. Slowly
they clambered up the bank to the track,
and returned to town. They put up for
the night and took the morning train Tor
their place Of destination. One Of them
much wiser than before, and little the
worse for wear. He says he won't try 70
board another train, while il i in rapid
motion. Rather risky business we should
think for novice TO undertake, -be more
careful next time. You might fare worse,
should You try \ again.

that 'unless person is on the alert, they
stand poor show to get copy" Of that
slanderous rag. He would thus try to de-
ccive by conveying the idea to the people
that the demand was overwhelming for it.
What are the facts. Its editor may be
seen almost any day, taking two or three
dozen copies of that live local paper
out Of the Toledo postofficc, they having
been returned from all parts Of the coun-
ty. Large numbers of the people of lama

copies Of that immoral sheet are heartily
disguised with it, and will not take them
out of the office, even if the postage has
been prepaid These are facts which can
not be successfully contradicted. We
know whereof we speak.

flrms...The Largest Hardware
House In Central Iowa,

4
During recent visit to Marshalltown
we took look through the extensive
Hardware House of Messrs Nathan Wor-
ley & Sons, in Woodbury's Block.
This house was established by Mr.. E..
P. Welles, in 1868, and by his fair and
upright dealings he soon built up large
trade. In 1885 or 1885 he was succeeded
by Turner, Williams & Co., they in turn
selling out to John Turner s. Co. This
firm added to their facilities and con-
veniences, increasing the size Of their
room, till in 1873 they had large estab-
lishment and were doing an immense
business Last year Mcssrs. Morley &
Sons VINO were living in Pennsylvania,
decided to take the advice Of the great
philosopher, Horace Greedy and go
West" Accordingly they came to Mar
shalltown, and seeing it was town OF no
mean pretensions and destined to be one
of the most important inland cities of our
State, concluded to settle there. They
bought out this establishment Of Messrs.
John Turner & Co., and went to work
with will to increase their business, adj
ding new features, and charging their
stock They are now building up good
jobbing trade, and will no doubt ere long
be able to compete successfully with any
house in Iowa. They carry stock of
about $4,000, besides having goods on
the road, going out to their customers,
and coming in from the east. Their room
is 20x1S0 feet with an L 2Ox4O, making
20x220, and a basement under all, with
the exception Of about 90 feet, giving
them room of 20x420. They deal ex-
tensivelY in the far-famed Charter Oak
Cook Stoves, La Belle brand Of nails,
Wagon and Blacksmith's stock, and tools,
House Building Material, Carpenters
tools, Windows, Doors, Sportsmen's COM
plete outfits, Studebakcr and Star Wag-
ons, and in fact, all first-class goods that
the wants of the country demand They
have ten men in their employ and all are
kept busy with their large trade. They
make specially Of the Charter Oak
Stoves, House Building material, Wagon
and Carriage stock and House Furnishing
goods. They have tin shop in connec-
ton with the establishment under the
management of one of the best timers in
Iowa, Mr.. George T. Craig. They are
doing the tin work and plumbing on the
elegant residence Of our townsman Maj.
Clark. This firm is composed of Nathan
Morley and his two sons John and Ma
than, Jr. who are all first-class, honorable,
high minded gentlemen, with whom it is
a pleasure to deal They keep none but
good goods, and what they say can be re-
lied upon. They will not recommend
anything undless the article is able to bear
it, and the result is that those who know
them have confidence in them. They
get custom not only from Marshalltown
and county, but from surrounding coun-
ties, and we would not be surprised if
they would be obliged to secure more
room before long. We are happy to note
their success and will haye occasion to
refer to them again hereafter.

The Tama City Smut MILL says that the
Inuian trouble in Chelsea last week was
on Monday. That "a white renegade by
the name of Rawson was arrested" for
procuring the Indians whiskey. That
Sheriff Austin made the arrest &c. All Of
which is gross misstatement of facts
The Indian trouble was on Thursday and
Friday, and not on Monday, and Sheriff
Austin did not make the arrest. 1t was
not Rawson who was arrested as stated in
that paper It was man who gave his
name as Osgood. The statement Of the
Press should be corrected. Mr.. Rawson
is good citizen of Tama county, gen
tleman, and temperance man. Do the
editors Of that vile rag mean to malign
Mr.. Rawson, or is it a mistake?

The HoIiy-Tree Inn Enterprise

Desiring to give practical shape to their eff
forts, the Temperance people are laying hold of
the proposition to establish in Wilmington what
are called in Boston ''Holly-Tree Inns" These
are places where coffee and wholesome food are
furnished at the cheapest rates--as low as five
snd ten cents for single purchase-in order
that persons who would otherwise use that
amount for a drink of beer or spirits may take
these instead. AS conducted in Boston, and in
some other cities, they have been made finan-
cial success, supporting themselves, and con-
tributing very considerably, no doubt, to the
advancement Of temperate habits and good NOR
as in the community.
In Wilmington, the project has been under
discussion for some two or three years, and it
seems possible that it has been burdened by an
attempt to do too much II it were undertaken
next week, in some suitable locality in a rented
room, with the simplest surroundings, there
would he no reason for its non-success. In this
way the pioneer Slim" was established in Bos
ton. The plan Of all Incorporated ASSOCIATE on
with liberal amount of capital stock, IL tot
good in all respects not to be realized, and tin
gentlemen interested in it deserve the coria
support of the community, but it takes time Il
put 10 large project on its feet, and meanwhil
there could be much done, and much learned, i
the ladies would undertake it in simple econ
omical and direct manner.
