What a Prominent Citizen says of
West Main as q Residence street.
BY natural selection" said promi-
nent citizen to reporter. West Main
street and vicinity Is the residence part
of Marshalltown, par excellence. 1t is
close enough to the business center and
yet removed far enough from the din
and discomforts OF the manufacturing
districts. There is the desirability Of
the manufacturing districts and there
is also the desirability of the resident
district. We must have both, each in
lis kind; but they cannot be blended.
Both are absolutely essential in the
American idea of the community; but
they cannot be Joined. The home is for
health. strength. comfort and recupera-
ton. We must have railways and their
stations, however hurly- burly. There
is the arena of this knock down Jump
up-and-try-it-a age. Well know
ing their fitness and necessity, yet we
put our homes out of reach. The street
car line is the only permissible link.
When the o'clock whistle blows the
surcease of toll. suddenly the clang and
jangle Of iron and steel and the shout
ing OF the captains OF industry die
away and in a twinkllng We are chang
ed, and the tired hand, ear and eye is
bro0ght back to life and JOY by the
softer andm ore tuneful melodies of
softer and more tuneful melodies OF

thought the proposition from the Kan

his personal interests for the interests
of the company and Its policy holders.

The Old Story Of Drink and q
Wrecked Home City
News.

A man named Updegraff former
resident here. arrived In the city Sat-.
,urday in state OF mental excitement
bordering on insanity, caused by the
disappearance OF his wife, Mrs. Ada
sUpdegraff. from Kansas City. The
Gpdegraffs left Marshalltown last Oc-
tober for Missouri, making the trip
overland. They landed at Sedalia and
finally drifted to ST. Louis and then
to Kansas City. Updegraff and his wife
will be remembered by good many
Marshalltown people as truck farmers
who sold vegetables to residents in the
north and east part Of the city. He
came here from Dies Moines, and for a
time previous to engaging In the truck
garden business worked at the glucose
factory. Updegraff when sober was a
good workman and kind hus band and
father But his appetite for liquor
would get the upper hand and then he
went to pieces entirely He was some
thing of genius. could turn his hand
to almost anything and make money
at 1t. He was hard worker and SO
was his faithful wife. Time and again
they accumulated a comfortable little
sum OF money and began to look on the
bright side of life. Then liquor would
get in its deadly work and prosperity
would go glimmering, and with 1t, for
the time being, the hopes and ambitions
of both wife and husband. updegraff
prospered last summer. AT the end OF
the season he sold his effects here ard
as before stated went to Missouri, taxi
ing his family with him overland. His
old enemy re-asserted itself, however.
and soon wife and family We're with
out home or means of support. In
telling his story here TO friends
Mr.. Updegran stated that while
in Kansas City last winter he was taken
sick and finally landed in the pest house,
suffering with what he calls Cuban
itch" He admits. however, that he had
neglected his family and had been on
one Of his periodic sprees Insthe mean
time his wife took in boarders and
washing and did what she could to earn
a livelihood for herself and family. But
when Updegraf finally got out of the
pest house his family was gone. He says
their effects were shipped to Marshall
He thinks they have gone to ST. Paul.
The most serious part OF the story is
that Updegraff now threatens to kill his
family II he succeeds in locating them.
He declares he loves his wife too well to
let her go and says there will be corpse
across the threshold when he finds her
1t is thought Updegraff has left the city
and gone, to ST. Paul. He seemed to be
laboring under a terrible mental strain
when talking to acquaintance in the
city and was in a condition when last
seen to carry out his murderous threat
