LOCAL COMMENT.


Mayor Pierce is wise enough not to
borrow trouble where 1T is unnecessary
to do so. Therefore he allowed the city
council to fight it out over officer
Kurzs suspension, when in fact the
council has little to say about such
matters. The control of the police, un-
der the law, is entirely in the mayor S
hands, and it the council takes a notion
to suspend or reinstate, the mayor can
reinstate or remove, as he sees fit. But
in the Kurz case the mayor saw there
was nothing to be gained by taking a
hand in the controversy and so he said
nothing while the aldermen talked and
got warm under the collars.
The city's late experience with ex-
perts has demonstrated that the hir-
ing of that class to help solve prob
lens is much like going to law over
questions that might better be settled
out OF court. Expert and legal SER
vices come high.
The passing of the Metropole Club
brings up memories of past accomplish
ments by organized effort. The club
was the direct successor of the old
Twenty Club, an organization that did
more for the upbuilding of the city than
any other instrument in the towns his
tory. If Marshalltown had another
such organization in these prosperous
times, when capital is seeking legiti-
mate investment, additions would be
made to the city's string of industrial
beads.

The wag of the T.-R. force remarks
that another indication of prosperity

house tower is still wanting hands.
\
and Marshall county love for shrubs
this prosperous era gives people money
to spend, it may be stated that an Ohio
nursery firm is now engaged in de-
| livering goods in this city to 25S pa
trons, the aggregate of whose purchases
exceeds $500 on about three times as
much as the house has sold here ir
iprevious years.
Some people believe that Marshall

case the combination has been made
with a worthy object. While prices

to discourage those with the cash OF
hand from purchasing large quantitie:
and thus absorbing all the available
supply and causing poor people to e,

PUT OUT WITH GARDEN HOSE.

Blaze Caused by Gasoline Stove in
the Boucher Home quickly sub
dued.
A gasoline stove in the home of DR..
and Mrs. F. H. Boucher failed to work
properly shortly after II O'Clock today
and the burning oil threatened the de-
struction of the home. Mrs. Boucher.
with rare presence of mind, attached
the garden hose to the yard hydrant
and with water from that source soon
had the fire put out, but not until the
woodwork near the stove was badly
scorched. One of the neighbors turned
in an alarm from box 426, but when the
companies arrived their services We're
not required.

the history of the party has q stronger
or better set OF men been offered to the
support of the republican voters. Every
man among them is a peer among his
fellows and every man should receive
the support of the party that nominated
him. If a voter has ever wondered at
the purpose of the square at the top OF
his printed ballot he should cease to do
so this year. 1t is there to be marked
with cross when just such ticket is
offered as the republican party presents
in this campaign.

years. The dispatch" is as follows:

Central railroad can be absorbed by
any of the larger systems, as the meet
ing of the owners when such PROPOSE
ton could have been acted upon has
passed and another Will not be held un-
I'll that time Such was the statement
made by Mr.. Tittemore, acting general
manager of the Iowa Central when
asked about the proposed sale of the
road to the Milwaukee, There has
been lively bidding, he continued, on
Central stock by both the Milwaukee
and Burlington companies to get con-
lrol of the road with the result that the
stock has gone up and neither company
has been able to secure control.

question of time when the Central Will
be absorbed by one of the larger sys-
TENS, but that time can not be sooner
than two years hence
Mr.. Tittemore was shown the article

reading it and enjoying hearty laugh

Mr.. l.. d. vitek. mailing clerk for the
Times Republican, in squirt" run
with a Dick mailing machine, has brok-
en- the worlds record. The best record
on this machine, which is the fastest
mailer manufactured, was 1872 papers in
one minute, held by Mr. ]. Nj. Cunning
ham, of Springfield. Mass. Mr.. yitek
concluded that he could do better than
that, and on Thursday night made the
trial. He stamped with the machine an
even 200 papers in fifty-nine seconds.
The time was caught by two watches.

THE BopY's PURIFIER.

The kidneys and liver act as
purifiers for the human body.
The blood, which is the life,
isrelieved by them of all poison
Gus and etfete matter, and passes
onward to energize and vitalize
the entire system.
Most important, then, is it
that these organs should ade-
quately perform their proper
functions, and happily an agent
exists which, when they become
disordered, congested and all
clogged up, can restore them
quickly to their normal healthy
condition.
1t has blessed the world fol
twenty-five years, and is known
as Warmers Safe Cure. 1t has
saved thousands of lives, and is
to-day the only known specific
for all diseases and weaknesses
of kidneys and liver.

IOWA FOOD FOR 1owANs.
Every state In the Union Looks to
Iowa for Its Breakfast.

The popularity of that wonderful
Iowa product known as Wheat-O, made
by patented process at Newton. la,
by the Newton Steel-cut Milling Com
pany, is attested by the large number
of orders and duplicate orders received
from every part of the country where
the food has been introduced.
The manufacturers have taken the
choicest Iowa wheat, removed all the
Impurities and the indigestible part OF
the grain and left in an appetizing form
all the gluten, phosphates and nitro
genous elements that the body needs
for health and proper growth and for
making bone, teeth and muscle. 1t is
little wonder that SO desirable and de-
licious a food has sprung into perma-
nent popularity in every home. 1t is t.
be had at most grocery stores.
