Marshalltovvn Travelling Mon will
Have special Train for state Picnic

Marshalltown travelling Mon Will
Have special Train for state Picnic
at Dos fMoines.
The meeting of Marshalltown travel
ing men Saturday evening made up I'M
enthusiasm what It lacked In numbers.
Many of the boys We're out OF town and.
had not seen the call for the meeting
which was published at p. M, only a
few hours before the time set for 1t to-
convene. This meeting was only pre-
5liminary, however. to the rousing turn
out which Is expected next Saturday
night, May 26, by which time the boys,
Will all have been notified Of the time
and place of meeting and the action
taken Saturday evening by those pres
Ient. 1t was uEanimouslyd decided to at
tend the annual travelling mems picnic
at Des Moines, June 2, in a body and to
80 in proper style. "A special train was
arranged for on the spot and the requi-
site number OF passengers guaranteed
by the travelling men there present. 1t
will be special Marshalltown train
and will make the run to Dies Moines
without any stops except those neces-
sary to take water, and 1t has been
suggested that travelling men never
take water.
u is proposed to send delegation to
Des Moines of a. least 100 travelling
men and their families. They will go
loaded for good time and Marshall
town bands will accompany them and
play rag time and cake walks. A spe-
cial car will be provided for the lunch
baskets, sample cases and the general
cheer that makes -picnics desirable af-.
fairs. They wish to show Des Moines
that Marshalltown and Marshalltown
travelling men appreciate past favors.
and are anxious toEproperly show their
Appreciation. Marshalltown has twice
had the picnic and the travelling men
will return the compliment. Indications
are that many professional men, such
business men who can spare themselves
from their business on Saturday and a
number of city and county people will
take advantage of the occasion to visit
the capital city with the delegation and
enjoy the free sports provided for the
entertainment of the visitors, and 1t
will be we'll for Des Moines to hold the
procession until the Marshalltown con-
tingent arrives. They will swell it's
numbers and add to the beauty OF its

built with the money lin case he dies)
on the lot he has bought, he can die In
the peace that only good common-sense
men can, that his wife will own her
own home and have q shelter for herself
and children. Most women can earn
enough, with the help Of the children, to-
buy food and clothing, II only the home
is hers and has no debt. There Is all
ways the helping hand to that extent:
enough vegetables can be raised on the
lot itself to take care Of small family.
It takes the kind Of men associated to-s
gether as the Marshalltown Improve
ment Company to formulate such a
grand idea and make themselves not
only a company to improve the city but
to improve the opportunities OF the
working man to save money, to enable.
him to be a householder and at the same
time assure his wife absolute immunity
from debt or annoyance when he is sick
or out of work. No companies can fail,
no panics can harm him: he knows his
wife is safe and that he is safe. 1t Is
grand, good idea. new idea and is
bound to win, for an easy mind makes
a good man, and good men are what
are wanted IL Aa-shalltown.
This grand piece of property, bounded;
on the south by Main street, on the
north by the Soldiers Home park, on
the east by Ninth street and on. the
west by Thirteenth street, is naturally
an ideal residence section. It is only
nine blocks from the court house, with
a paved street the whole distance and
nothing but good residences to look ups
on; one has to go thru no poor quarter,
past no Objectionable features or any
thing to annoy the olfactory nerves.
The land itself is mostly high, and from
It one can get views north. south, east
and west. Lots have been plated a
Ilgocd. generous size, many being 6exl63
feet, While the smallest is 54x17S, and
there are enough lots for every one to
I5choose from.
Edmund G. Walton, real estate man
from Minneapolis, who has laid out and
handled all OF the principal residence
property in that city for the last ten
years, ane. whose wonderful success has
been a great factor in the history of
that city, has been engaged to open up
this property and to manage the auc-
ton sale of lots, Which will take place
May 81
Some very new and attractive feat
ures are to be offered the public which
Will be noted in a later issue.

A record has been established on the

which the officials and employees point with
pardonable pride. In round numbers there
are nineteen hundred men employed on this
division, all OF whom are working steadily.
With such a large force at work the
chances of fatal accidents are many, and
the greatest caution is necessary. During
the period between June /, 1899, and Feb.

was killed or even dangerously injured.

In the suit of the County Commissioners
OF Marion county against Maurice Don

fees alleged to be due the county. Judge
