..BRAKEMAN ORATOR" HERE.

E. A. Wilson, Now Deputy Labor
Commissioners, Visits the City.
The Brakeman Orator." who ad-
dressed one OF the largest political
gatherings Marshall county ever saw
in the Odeon during the campaign of
'96, returned to the city today on off,
cial business connected with his duties
as deputy labor commissioner 1t is
part of Mr.. Wilson's duties to look up
the labor employing institutions that
have failed to make their reports to the
bureau as to the number of men en-
ployed. wages paid, etc, and it is this
work that brings him to Marshalltown.
Mr.. Wilson says that the report of his
office will be issued in September, but
that returns have been already received
sufficiently to indicate general in
crease OF 25 per cent in the number of
men employed in the state, and an in
crease Of at least 15 per cent in the av-
erage wages paid. It is his estimate that
the labor commissioners report this
year will show Iowa to be enjoying the
greatest amount OF prosperity it has
ever enjoyed.

LOCAL COMMENT.

It begins to look now as though the
depositors OF the failed Commercial
Bank, the doors OF which were closed
year ago, would be q long time in secur-
ing further dividends. But two divi-
dends have been declared, and although
some time has elapsed since the last one
there IL but about $4,000 in the hands Of
the receiver at the present time accord
ing to his own statement. This Is prob
ably not the fault of the receiver, but is
due to the nature OF the securities. The
belief is still general that the directors
and stockholders OF the concern would
have been acting more fairly to them
selves and the depositors had they put
up the cash and taken the banks paper,
to handle 1t and realize on 1t as best
they could.
Recent events have demonstrated
that there are number of people in
this city who attend, in way, private
social functions to which they are not
invited, and consequently not wanted.
1t doesn't look we'll for individuals to
assemble around 9 house or lawn where
a wedding or party is in progress. At
several recent functions of this kind
the unlimited spectators. including
men, women and children, have nearly
outnumbered the invited guests.
80
Merchants OF the city report that
never during their business careers has
at the present time. The jobbers and
manufacturers all over the country are
behind on their orders. owing to the al
r7nv 1,,o -
improved financial and Industrial con
ditions Of the country.
A plan recently inaugurated by the
street car company ought to prove pop
ular, and, at the same time, profitable
to the company. That is the sale of
round trip tickets over the entire line
for 10 cents. It is plan followed in the
cities and is for the special benefit of
those busy people whose time for pleas
ure is limited. 1t requires nearly one
hour to make the round trip over the
entire Marshalltown line.
In Fridays issue was reprinted an
editorial opinion OF Christian Science
and the treatment of certain case of
typhoid fever by a healer of this city.
Today. In the religious department, is
printed an article in defense of the doc
trine. The arguments of both sides will
probably be accepted according to the
personal views and prejudices Of the
general public.
When there's work for every able
bodied man dissatisfaction pervades the
ranks Of few, as evidenced by several
recent strikes in this city. While some
OF the strikers demands are just and
they are entitled to participate In the
benefits of the good times, some of the
malcontents quit work simply because
the hot weather had taken away what
little ambition they had.
Some Of the critics who have beer

MRS. GILLESPIE DISCHARGED.
Tama Woman Not Held on the Per-
Jury Charge.

Tama Woman Not Held on the Per-
Jury Charge.
Mrs. Alice Gillespie, wife Of Tom Gill
lespie, Of Tama. and mother of James
Mccoy, whose marriage in this city
Wednesday to 15-year-old Sophie Pax
ton has caused considerable feeling on
the part of the latter's relatives, was
discharged from Justice Burritt's court
Friday evening upon the charge Of per-
Jury.
It Is not likely, however, that the
matter will be dropped with this, and
the identity Of the "Rina Johnson,
who swore to the age Of the girl when
the license was granted, will be found
IL possible. Mrs. Gillespie claims that
she knows nothing whatever Of her
sons marriage and was not in the city
on Wednesday,. Further than that she
says that she has not been in Marshall
town for five years. This, she says. she
can prove by six different persons.
The state expected to prove the iden-
tity OF the woman positively by Deputy
Clerk OF Courts Cammack and Officer
Cochran. This was not done. however
as neither of the officers, although they
said they thought Mrs. Gillespie was
the woman, was not willing to identity
her positively and swear to 1t. This
was all that the case rested upon, and
consequently the dismissal.
Mr.. A. C. Paxton. OF Montour, the
father Of the girl, now Mrs. Mccoy, was
in the city again today. He is very
much disappointed over the outcome OF
the case and threatens to make 1T warm
for some one. To County Attorney
Stone he intimated that he would bring
suit against Deputy Clerk Cammack
but the county attorney informed hi.
that Mr.. Cammack had acted in the
best Of faith and with the proper dis
erection, and any attempt of that sor
would be folly. Those interested in the
lease still have hopes Of finding thu

OVERCOME BY HEAT.
A Glucose Engineer Frustrated FRI
dav Afternoon.

A Glucose Engineer Frustrated FrI-
dav Afternoon.
The first case of severe prostration by
heat this season was recorded Friday
afternoon, when, at the factory of the
Glucose Sugar Refining Company, En-
gineer Arthur p. Huggard, of the feed
house, was reported overcome by the
severe warm weather and in an uncon-
scious condition. An ambulance was
summoned and Mr.. Huggard was re-
moved to his room, at the Tom Hockey
home, No. 208 South Second avenue.
Mr.. Huggard had been complaining
all afternoon Of feeling worse than or
dinarily in hot weather, but he did not
mention the subject but once or twice
and kept about his work as usual. He
had just completed the work of packing
ia light engine and remarked to another
employe of the room that he believed
it was getting warmer, when he fel.
backwards, striking his head agains
the floor. The superintendent office
was notified and the ambulance and
company surgeon were summoned. Mr..
Huggard lay as IL dead, and no sign of
consciousness We're noticeable. Work
of resuscitation was begun as soon as
the physician arrived and at about 3: 80
o'clock consciousness was regained. MIR.
Huggard's condition this morning is re
ported as encouraging, he having
gained considerable rest during the
night. No serious results are antici-
pated. although it will be several days
before he will be able to resume work.
Master Mechanic Wood took charge OF
the feed house department directly aft
er the occurrence, owing 90 the lack of
an experienced man.
Mr.. Huggard is the gentleman who is
to be married early next month to Miss
Gertrude Halferty.

v About as sweet-scented a trio as has
eraced the prisoners chairs Of the may

pear before his honor Monday in the
persons Of Al Edgington, Homer Head
and Ed Allen. The case is quite an inn
portant one. and II the proper DISPOSE
ton Is made Of 1t may put stop to
rome Of the petty thieving that has
been going on In Marshalitown for some
time.
Some time Thursday night there was
taken from the city building quantity
of fire hose, about thirty-one feet in all.
together with the connecting brasses
that are fastened to the hose when II
leaves the factory. The hose was missed
Friday morning, but there seemed to
be no clue as to who might have taken
1t. It would have been an easy matter
for any one to help himself II ne SO
chose, but the hose has always been
considered safe owing to the fact that
II would be q pretty hard matter for
any thief Of dispose Of it.
At any rate the hose was gone when
business began Friday morning and no
one knew where it had gone to. The
police were notified, but 1t was like
finding q needle in the haystack to pick
the thieves. A bit of good fortune was
encountered, however, in the afternoon,
and Officer Cochran was informed by a
resident of the city that he had seen
s AL Edgington, Ed Allen and Homer
Head walking down an alley, south of
Main street, and that one OF the men
bore on his back q large sack filled with
some bulky-looking material.
This was all the officer wanted, and
with this as his scent he worked all the
afternoon, but without much satisfac-
ton OF being any closer to the proof or
the thieves. Another informant then
told the officer that the three men under
suspicion had been seen entering the
building occupied by Erect, junk man
on South Center street.
This was another clue and good one
and Mr.. Erect was accosted by the Of
ficer, who made more Of hlu6 THAN
anything else and demanded the stuff
Erect admitted that the men had been
there and wanted him to purchase the
hose, but that he had refused to buy it
No pumping of any kind would reveal
other than these words and the officer
left Erect for the time Evidence was
then obtained that the men had beer
seen entering Freet's establishment
with a large sack, and had left it with
out the sack. Working upon the theory
again that the hose was in Freet's place
the officer demanded 1t and finally was
given possession. The hose had been mu.
tilated, however, and the brass connec-
tons, used for Joining the different
