TAMA PAPERS QUARREL.
Some Interesting Remarks Being In
dulgcd in over the Glucose Prob-


lem.
The Tama Herald and the Free Press
arc now uuasrelng over the glucose in
junction case and are passing some
Very uncomplimentary remarks. This
quarrel is one feature OF the contfo-.
versy that can not be charged directly
to Marshalltown. The current issue Of
the Tama county papers devote con
siderable space tp the question and the
following selections will be OF interest
The Herald Mr.. Wonser's paper says:
The Herald believes that frankness
and plain speaking at the present time
arr. the best service it can render the
good people of Marshalltown That
they do not now appreciate II does not
signify that they Will not ultimately do
50. What N1arshalltowsn needs to kiiow
is the sentiment Of Tama county peo-
pie That sentiment the Herald has
reflected fairly and in a kindly spirit.
Marshaltown has no enemies in Tama
but that fact does not mean that Il
Marshailtown institution may With im-.
punity violate the aws of the state
and be permanent nuisance and mem
ace 10 Tama county without earnest
and outspaken protest.
The News states that last week Mr..
Il. L. Bracken was in Chicago in confer
lence With the glucose magpates and
since his return he has been interesting
himself III defending the interests OF
the big Marshalltown institution. We
believe the News isin error and in the
absence of corroborating testimony
shall consider M. Bracken as in har-
lmeny with the practically unanimous
sentiment of south lama that the glu-
cose company must either give bonds
To cease communicating thc river or de-
fsnd the Injunction proceedngs Mr.
Bracker, in fact. in an interview With
the editor of this paper, stated that the
vice president of the glucose company
told him that Tama people We're de-
manding nothing unreasonable HIS
position, however. was that it was the
duty of Marshalltown ard not the COM
lpany TO provide for The sewage. That
I question is one as matter Of fact
lin which Tama is not vitality Interested
Marshalltown and the glucose company
mus settle that Is Saa;, them. Ta,na
1 Is only Interested in putting stop 10
lthe continued pollution Of the river and
lin efforts To the end we have faith to
/ believe that Mr.. Bracken Will join with
| his tuwnsmen and neighbors.n

The bristling glucose editorial in the
'gushei GTama Herald), last week was
moi far distant from the grand and sub

need not get scared, he don't mean it.
A The fact is he Is. most of the time in a
Econdtion mental not responsible for his
utterances And as far as the 'gusher'

4well that is rs amusing as 1t is ludicrous
land ridiculous. Boys, you needn't be
afraid to visit Tama again; come down
and bring quart of glucose extract,
vintage of 1870 and by proper manpu-
llation you can have the gusher as mel
