There was good attendance at the
last meeting Of the Political Equality
Club held Thursday evening at the
home OF the president, not only the
members being present In nearly their
entirety. but many guests also enjoyed
the session. Reports were read for the
year which has just passed and the one
of Mrs. r. NJ. Sutton telling of the sub
jects discussed and work accomplished
was especially interesting. A short dis
Ecussion OF the Cataline islands was the
first thing on the program and the in
formal debate on the subject. Which
Need the Ballot the More, Married or
Unmarried Women brought forth
some thoughts which had evidently re-
ceived great deal Of thought. Mrs. p.
NJ. Sutton and Miss Ella Moffatt led in
the discussion, each one holding that
the married woman was the greater in
need, owing to the poor property laws
effective in 30 many Of the states. Miss
Harriet sayers. who was present. gave
ia very pleasing talk, her theme being
the need for more comprehensive

Storm Local.

A terrific rain storm, attaining the.
proportions Of cloudburst west end
north of the city, occurred early this
morning, and in the vicinity Of st. An
thony, a small town on the Story City
branch, considerable damage is report
ed.
The storm was strictly local one,
and no rain to speak Of is reported
north OF Clifford, Hardin county, and
none south Of this city. The electrical
part Of the storm. accompanied by a
pretty stiff breeze, began about 10
O'Clock Thursday night and at about 2
a. m. rain began to fall. yMarshalltown
received only the outer edge OF the
rainfall, which was not at all heavy
here, but northwest, or between ST.
Anthony and Gearing, water fell in tor
rents for several minutes.
The Iowa Central suffered consider
able damage and traffic over the Story
City branch was practically at stand
still today. Track was washed out for
a total distance OF twenty-one tele-
graph poles. or a little over half
mile. The rolling prairie on either side
OF the right of way drained the water
into the level valley Of Minerva creek,
and in many places the railroad ties
We're lifted from their ordinary sta
tionary positions and washed over the
fences running parallel with the tracks
and enclosing the right of way.
The train from the branch due into
this city at $3.50 this morning was held
at its starting point Story City, and
did not arrive until this afternoon. A
work train, with Roadmaster Shelley
and Engineer Macy on board, left the
city about 10 o'clock to repair the dam
age. The train going up the branch,
due out Of here at 10 O'Clock, was held
here until the damage could be report
ed and track laid.
Considerable damage is reported ia
crops in the vicinity OF the flood, as
the hard rain was accompanied by a
great deal OF wind. But little damage
resulted from the wind here. Several
trees suffered and many branches were
found lying on the pavements this
morning.
AS a result OF the heavy rainfall
along Minerva creek the river is rising
radiply. The flood reached this city al
noon, and at o:3Oy o'clock the waters had
IErisen three feet. AS the storm was only
local. the waters will recede as rapid,
as they came up.
