ACCIDENT TO AGED LADY.
Mrs. A. woolston Falls Froma Bug
gyand Breaks Her Hip.

Mr. Edmund Tuffree is coming to the
conclusion that there is an i'll fate con-
cealed in his carriage. which manifests
itself in broken bones. Mr.. Tuffree is
just becoming able to walk with ease
since the accident last spring, whereby
his leg was so badly fractured. Mrs.
Abram Woolston, of State Center. an
aunt of Mr.. Tuffree, was in the city
Thursday, a guest at his home. She
desired to call upon a friend who lives
on Baptist Hill and in the afternoon at
about o'clock Mr. Tuffree drove her
to the house. AS she went to alight in
some manner her foot slipped from the
step and she fell to the ground, break
ing the right hip. The accident was a
painful one. yet she so desired to be at
her own home that she was carried on
a stretcher on the afternoon train. 1t
is feared the fracture may result SER
iously. as Mrs. Woolston is not only adj
vanced in years. being past GO. but is
frail and has little vitality. Mr.. and
Mrs. Edmund Tuffree went to State
Center this morning to spend the day
with Mrs Woolston and ascertain her
condition..

We're put up with the Commercial State

under an order just given from the
Marshall county court ordering the bal
ance OF the assets Of the bank, which it
has been impossible to raise any money
on. to be sold at public auction. The
order was issued after meeting held
by the depositors and creditors of the
defunct bank in which several resolu-
tons were passed denouncing the
method of the receiver and directors in
the conduct of the bank and its affairs.
AT the same time that the order was
given for the sale of the remainder of
the assets of the bank the court was
forced to issue an order for a 100 per
cent assessment on the stock of the
bank for the purpose of paying the de-
ficiency due depositors. This assess
ment was petitioned by the depositors
of the bank a year ago and the court,
Judge Obed Caswell, failed to issue the
order. 1t is now said that some of the
stockholders have, since disposed of the
property which had been held in thei1
names in order to avoid the possibility
of the assessment being finally made

WILL BDIDC[OB HOUSE.
Country Club to Build . Handsome
Structure, to Cost in the Neigh
borhood Of $4,000.
The Full Amount Has Already Been

menced.

The Country Club, Marshalltown's
largest social organization, has plans
under way for the erection in the near
future of handsome club house, and
the money for building the same is all
ready in sight.
The club has at present been pledged
$4,000 for the purpose. and this sum will
be expended for building. The club
officers secured this amount without
trouble, and when the structure is
built 1t will be equipped with all the
conveniences of modern club quarters.
The plans, however, have not yet been
drawn.
The club is at present undecided
whether or not it will renew it's lease
of the present grounds northeast of the
city. A committee has been looking
over other grounds, as it Is desired to
secure, if possible, location either
nearer to the city or convenient to the
street car line. An effort was made to
secure a lease of grounds in the north
west part of town, lying between
Fourth street and the Soldiers Home,
but the owners did not desire to lease.
The club desires to secure lease run
ming for five years, with the privilege
of holding it another five years If de-
sired. If it is unable to secure more
convenient grounds the present land
will be retained and the club house will
be built thereon.
| If the present grounds are retained.
which is probable, a man with a hack
will be employed for the season and
| trips will be made to and from the
grounds at regular intervals. The
large grove will be cleared out and
! fixed UP as park. and other extensive
improvements will be made. The mem
bership of the club will be materially
Increased.
The golf tournament recently arr
ranged by the club has already COM

JUMPS AGAIN.
Another Advance of Fifty Cents Pei
Ion on Bituminous Coal is
Announced
A Schedule of Prices Prevailing il
Marshalltown-Hard to Get
At Any Price.

Coal has taken another jump in the
local market because of the scarcity of
fuel and no immediate prospect of the
shortage being relieved. The advance
for bituminous coal in the last two days
has been an average of 80 cents per ton
on all grades.
The following table shows the univer-
sal price prevailing in this city, and
these figures will be of special interest
to every householder:
Centervllle.-. ........S4.3t
Illinois lump.... 49,. ............... AZ
Oskaloosa district. ..... $3.50. ..... 40
Des Moines district.... -. ........ 40
Nut.-.... $500 1880. ....... ...... Dol
Steam coal. -. 1900. ............. %;
When it Is taken into consideration
ally sells for $3.50 and S375. Oskaloosa
and Des Moines coal for 50 and nut ane
mine run for $2.25 and $3.50, the adj
vance is fully appreciated.
One of the leading dealers of this cit,
says the question for the people now is
to get coal at any price. He says that II
severe cold weather would set in a.
the present time there would be som,
shivering done on the part of the popu
lace. There is not a mine that is not a
least 100 cars behind its orders. TIL,
same dealer said that one reason for thu
| last advance was TO discourage people
| from laying in large supply of coal a
the present time and the dealers them
selves prefer that big orders do not b.
placed because the chances are ten t,
one that they cannot be filled. He say
1 further that while there is no immedi
ate prospect of relief. he thinks tn
mines will be enabled to catch up in ;
month or six weeks and that prices vii
then come down somewhat.
