LOCAL COMMENT.

In talking with banker from Mon
mouth, ILL.,, where great deal of pot
terry is made, the information was given
that IL Marshalltown has suitable clay
the city should lose no time in putting
up plant, for, in his opinion, the sale
of the goods would be an easy matter.
He said that both of the Monmouth
potteries We're running TO their full ca
pacity with plenty of orders ahead and
that the business was immensely profit
able. The citizens of Marshaltown have
before them one of the grandest oppor-
tunities of their lives. The man or men
who invest in this pottery are doomed
to be rich men, unless all signs should
fail. Now, have we got citizens with
nerve There is no need of asking about
citizens with money for there is over
$2,000.0O0 on deposit in our banks and
nearly three-quarters OF million are
on time deposit, drawing about 3 per
cent returns. The pottery scheme offers
% per cent or better. Have we got men
with nerve?
Marshalltown this season offers to the
public an unusual opportunity for fall
trade. With one of its leading clothing
firms going out of business all prices in
clothing have been so demoralized that
people can we'll afford to pay railway
fare for thirty miles and back in order
to come here to buy. There is brisk
competition in dry goods and hardware
lines and many of the stores carry inn
mense stocks. Marshalltown always has
been cheap market for boots and
c,,,n hat tc 1,o Jlx, is,
which this city is not offering unusual
advantages and attractions for custom
ers this season Food stuffs are very
high everywhere, but in Marshalltown
all other commodities are unusually low
The conditions are exceptional.
The fourth trading stamp scheme has
entered the field and one of its promot-
ers declares that the business is SO prof
table to it's promoter that IL it wins here
he will give up his present job and de-
vote his entire time to organizing trad
ing stamp companies. Marshalltown
now has the green, the red, the gold
ccin and the blue trading stamps, and
practically all of its merchants are in-
cluded. No one dealer has any advan-
tage over his competitor, yet all are
taxed from to 31s per cent Of theiI
gross sales for the fun of doing bust
ness. Opinions will differ as to which
stamp is the strongest trade winner,
with the advantage on the side of the
scheme that offers the greatest decep-
ton, but out of 1t all no new business
has been created. Had the same money
been offered in refunding the railway
fare to QUITO town customers new bus
mess would have come in in great vol
ume and the merchant would have
gained something for his trouble. AS 1t
is, the suspicion goes abroad that he Is
studying ways and means by which he
can make the customer pay for the
stamps. and the prices of the mo
stamp" store are destined to make him
feel sick.
There are only nine candidates In
the field to date for the republican
nomination for county recorder, and the
primary election is three months dis
tant.

those additional wells that Mr.. Benson
wants and the city greatly needs. The
matter should not be delayed until some
big fire turns the river water into the
mains or another dry season comes up
on US. Seeming extravaganza for pure
water supply will never be censured in
any council.
Des Moines people, or atleast the fifty
implement men, jobbers and manufac-
turers from that city present at the
convention held in Marshalltown this
week, are now convinced that the CAPT.
tai city is not the only town on the
map of Iowa. They have tasted of
Marshalltown hospitality and it has af-
fected their hearts, If not their heads.
The visitors made as favorable an i'm
preston on the people of this city as
the city did on them.
From a selfish point of view it is
profitable to the city to entertain con-
ventions of this kind. One OF the off,
GERS of the implement dealers associa-
ton who is in position to know says
the visitors and jobbing houses left
between $4,000 and $4,000 in the city,
and aside from this one carriage manu-
factory alone sold for future delivery
500 buggies. The manufacture of the
vehicles in this city not only benefits
the firm making them, but the en-
ployes as we'll, and thru the employees
the merchants In various lines.
But one criticism was made of Mar
sfialltown people in regard to the enter
tainment of the convention, and that
was not made openly. That was be-
cause of the failure, or oversight, of the
ladies of Marshalltown to call upon the
wives of the officers and those mem
bers who We're accompanied by their
wives. At gatherings of this kind 1t is
customary for the officers. at least, to
be accompanied by their ladies, and
they are entitled to some consideration
at the hands of the fair sex of the city.
The wise Christmas shoppers are
making the rounds of the stores of the
city and securing the first choice Of the
large stocks put on sale by the mer-
chants.
If the republicans intend to retain
their city organization and make the
campaign on partisan lines,
a plank in the platform might favor
the employment of paid fire depart
ment.

The red white and blue stamp asso-
citation is being formed which will COM
bine all the advantages of all the con-
Germs in town. The new company will
give direct discount Of ten per cent
on all goods purchased. including
watches. diamonds, rings, clocks, cloth
ing hardware, groceries of every kind,
as well as lumber, coal and wood. Gus
toners will thus become partners with
the business men and receive small
share of the profits.
The new company will be backed by
unlimited capital pay cash for goods at
car load prices, thus saving twenty per
cent. which will all be given to the Gus
toners
It will only be few months until all
the trade drifts into the stores of the
new company, which will become enc of
the strongest associations in the city.

Woonsocket, r. 1.-The r. T. Booth
company-Dear sirs: / was troubled
with bad case of bronchitis for six
years, and many, many nights never
closed my eyes in sleep on account OF
my cough. tried different doctors and
all kinds OF stomach medicines, but
could not obtain more than temporary
relief until began using Hyomei. After
inhaling the first bottle stopped ex-
pectorating: my cough Disappeared, and
I have not been troubled since. altho
this was two years ago.
W.. J. coRR1GAN.
Here is another case showing the ut
ter worthlessness OF stomach medicines
in curing dangerous coughs. Yet just as
soon as Hyomei, the new dry air ger
mincide, was inhaled into the bronchial
tubes, where these germs were located,
they began to die and within week
every one of them had been DESTROYED.
This is why the United States health
reports make the statement that Hyo-
mel alone has reduced the death rate
from such diseases 81 per cent, ana that
no other treatment or remedy had any
thing whatever to do with bringing
about this reduction.
In other words, Hyomei il the only
remedy which has ever permanently
cured catarrh, bronchitis and consump4
ton, and the only remedy which can be
inhaled into the air passages and thus
reach the germs OF the disease.
Coughs Of every description succumb
to the influence Of Hyomei in q few
hours. Group Is broken up in twenty
minutes after the first inhalation.
In fact. no diseases Of the air passages
can exist for any length Of time where
Hyomei is breathed daily.
Those who still doubt its efficacy can
receive four days treatment free by
writing to the r. T. Booth Company,
Ithaca, N. Y, Hyomei outfits are also
kept in stock by all druggists, or will
be sent by mail on receipt OF the price.

 KILLED ON ACCOUNT OF A GIRL.
 A telegraphic dispatch sent out from Tucson announces the killing of Jose Lopez in the San Pedro valley by Castillo and Gregorio Martinez on ac- count of jealousy, the woman in the case being a young Mexican girl. The dispatch says the two assissins got Lopez drunk, brought up the name of the girl and an argument ensued which gave Castillo an excuse to draw his gun. He killed his man and both he and Martinez fled The latter sprained his ankle in mounting his horse and had to give himself up. Castillo's whereabouts is known and he will probably be apprehended.

Every great fortune had its first foundation laid in small savings. Mar shall Field began work as clerk in a small retail dry goods store. Today he is one of the greatest merchants in America. He saved something every day. Then he put his savings in a saw ings bank. where they drew interest. Why not initiate Fields example by putting your savings in The Home Saw ings Bank?
