..City News.

Marshalltown Odd Fellows and citi-
zens thought today they were recipients
of an agreeable surprise. in that 1t was
reported that the Iowa Odd Fellows
orphans home had been located in this
city. A report to this effect, however, is
in error.
The grand lodge is in session at Cres-
ton and dispatch was sent out from
that place Thursday night and printed
in several morning papers, notably the
Deg Moines Register and Leader, say
ing the Odd Fellows had taken the
home away from Mason City and locat-
ed 1t in Marshalltown. This was not an
improbability, as the grand lodge off,
GERS have been dissatisfied with the
Mason City proposition. To be sure
that there was no mistake and to learn
what inducements Marshalltown had
offered, the T.-R. sent telegram OF IN
;duiry to Mr.. E. H. Hibben, one of the
Marshalltown delegates. and received O
reply to the effect that the grand lodge
had ordered the home built at Mason
City and work had been ordered conf
menced at once.

A Citizen Investigates the Matter OF
Dead Fish Below the City.
Mr.. "A. r. Dodge visited LeGrand and
Quarry Thursday for the purpose OF In
vestigating the conditions in regard to
the fish. which ar. reported dying III
large numbers as the result Of acids in
the sewage. Mr.. Dodge found the situa-
ton decidedly bad. and saw more fish
dead and dying than he supposed the
Iowa river contained At the dams at
LeGrand and Quarry the river is almost
clogged with fish attempting t, get
down stream and with the dead and
helpless members Of the finny tribe
The mill races at both places fill up and
become clogged with the fish and the
mill employees have to scoop them out
occasionally. AT each of the mills at
least 500 pounds were taken out and
piled on the bank. Among the number
were large pike. some weighing eight
and ten pounds, besides buffalo suckers,
carp and quillbaclis. He saw no bass,
pfckerel or croppi,s, but was informed
that some pickerel had been taken out
in stupefied condition. Those with
some life were placed below the dams
in order to enable them to go further
down stream. Mr.. Dodge says that
within three days there will be no live
fish below the mouth Of the lower sewer
and as far down stream as the sewage
affects the water

Fifth District Entitled to Annapolis
Appointments in That Year.
Librarian NJ. NJ. BATHS is frequently
called upon for Information relative to
the appointments to and requirements
of admission to the United States
Naval Academy at Annapolis. She re-
Gently wrote for information and a
reply has been received inform
ing the librarian that the Fifth
congressional district will be en-
titled to the appointment of
one cadet in 1908, the cadet to be
named by the congressman represent
ing the district. Those desiring the
place are advised in the reply to begin
preparatory work at once to enable
them to pass the examination required.
The boys who receive these appoint
ments are usually required to take
preparatory course to fit them for the
actual work OF the academy, but when
they are once enrolled as cadets at
the naval school they begin to draw
salaries from the government. The
salary of u cadet is $500 per year.
and he receives gratis his education,
lights, fuel and other things that go to
make up his comfort. 1t is probable
that when the appointment for this
district is made u competitive exami-
nation will be ordered. as this has been
customary, altho this is not compul-
sorry on the congressman. who may APP
point, subject, of course, to the exami-
nations required by the government.
Those Marshalltown boys who desire
to try for the place ought to begin

tory schools or taking special course

CENTRAL TRAFFIC DELAYED.
Engine and Way Car Derailed and Tive
Employees Injured.

employees I0JuCeos
A wreck. small in one way and in
another of considerable magnitude. in
that it blocked traffic for about seven
hours, occurred Wednesday evening
about 5:16 O'Clock on the Iowa Central,
at point about half way between the
West Main street crossing and the Sieg
& Size brick yards.
The accident was to an extra freight,
composed only of al engine, No. 46, in
charge of Engineer John Skinner, of
this city, and way car, containing
Conductor Byron Fowler, Of Oskaloosa,
and a crew. The extra left the station
AT sos, bound for Minerva Junction
ahead of No. S, the evening passenger
north. to get an Italian surfacing gang,
which was to be moved from Minerva to
Newburg. In order that the full train.
when secured, could be taken south
with the engine at the head of the train.
the trip to the junction was made with
the engine backing, and pulling the way
car. A broken journal on the rear tank
truck caused the accident, and as soon
as the journal snapped the tank was de-
rallied. shooting off to the west side OF
the track down five-foot embankment
The engine and way car were also de-
rallied, the engine standing crosswise OF
the track, at an angle of about forty
five degrees. The accident happened so
suddenly that the engine crew had no
time to jump and Engineer Skinner was
caught by the right leg between the
side of the cab and the reverse lever,
ibruising and skinning the limb quite
badly. Brakeman Dan Searles, who was
in the way car, was thrown against the
stove and bruised somewhat about the
body, not as seriously, however, as the
engineer. The track was torn up for
about two car lengths and the position
of the engine was such that. unless ex-
IRENE care was taken, it would topple
over aud go down the embankment, the
tank being all that sustained 1t in an
upright position.
Conductor George Alexander took the
,wrecking outfit TO the scene, leaving
this city at 6:35. The crew returned at
about 8 O'clock with the way car, but

TAE SUNDAY SCHOOL CENSUS
Figure. Gathered by Church Workers
Are Compiled.

Figures Gathered by Church Workers
Are Complied.
The work of compiling the figures
gathered by volunteer canvassers I'M
der the direction of the Marshalltown
Sunday School Association has been
completed. The figures pertaining to
the population of the city are incom-
plete and therefore are not satisfactory.
Mr.. w. j. Fort, one of the district cap
tafns, says he knows of several families
that were missed. and he presumes
there are others who were away from
home during the time the canvass was
made. For the purposes of the associa-
ton, however, the work is very satisfac-
tory, and shows the number of church
members in the city. the number OF
Sunday school attendants, and the ex-
pressed preferences Of those who are
not enrolled in either church or school.
1t was to obtain this information and
enable the churches and Sunday schools
to reach people outside that the canvass
was made.
The canvass shows that there are A.
S43 citizens who are members OF church-
les, of a population of over 10000. or only
about one-third of the residents of the
city are allied with the churches. VI
Sunday school pupils there are 3,0Sl OF
all ages. while the enumeration of chill
dren between the ages of s and 81 years
is, according to the canvass, 1883. me
membership of some Of the churches
convinces those In charge that there are
many who belong to the different reiig-
ious bodies who do not attend regular
ly, and efforts will be made to enroll
those as active members.
The task Of compiling the figures az
Ter the canvass was made fell to the lot
Of a very few, and the work has been
hard and tedious.

UNDER THE WING
 OF DEMOCRACY
Silver Republicans Are Grad uaIIy Coming Into the
 Democratic Fold

Herald Bureau, 509 Fourteenth Street, N. w, Washington. March B. Special )-The action of the Silver Re- publicans of Idaho in dsbanding and rec- ommending their fellow partisans to af- ffliate with the Democrats is one of the indications of the trend of the times. The action taken by the Idaho Silvertes was forecast when Fred T. Dubois, Senator elect, announced his intention of acting with the Democrats and participating in their caucuses. This announcement was made several weeks before MT. Dubois took the oath of office, and he Is now not only sitting on the Democratic side of their number.
 The Populists are similarly becoming Democrats, and Senator Allen, who will disappear from the Senate within a few days--that Is, when the Nebraska Legis- lature chooses his successor or adjourns without an election-is the only real Pop ulist in the Senate, Hetfeld of Idaho, Patterson of Colorado and Turner of Washington now calling themselves Dem ocrats This absorption of the Populists, Fusionists and Silver Republicans by the Democrats will continue, and by the next election, unless the Democracy splits on some other question, there will be no Populist or Silver Republican ticket in the field, though the middle of the road Populists may insist upon continuing their organization, but 1t is so unimpor- tant as to warrant little attention.

rich flavor of romance. the same artistic coloring and the same luxurious aeeesso- rics. But 1t lacks the epigram and the fresh, sparkling dialogue of When KniRhthood Was in Flower, and the consnmmate art of Julia Marlowe to bring out fully and sympathetically what finer elements 1t has. Neither Miss IT, wing on Lorraine are able to make as much of it's dramatic qualities as ought to be made. At several critically points the other evening they failed utterly to take advantage of their opportunities. There are some glaring melodramatic eff fects. too. which should be eliminated. and until this is done ITO Have and To Hold" must be classed in the mediocre list The comedy business in the first act is quite well done and the climaxes are brought out forcibly throughout the play.
 There are four acts in MT Bedding toms version, and eight scenes-all done by Ernest Gros, and done magnfcen iy.
 The play opened in the meadow before the church in Jamestown where the maidens brought from England are sold as wives to the colonists, and where Ralph Percy wrested Jocelyn Leigh from Sharpless and married her. The second scene is an intermission of panoramic, kaleida scopic paintings representing the journey to Weyanoke. The third scene is that at Percy's house, where his bride tells him she does not love him and eX- plains her unhappy situation.
 Act two shows the arrival of Lord Car nal. Here there is a radical departure from the story. To escape Carnal, Per cy Is introduced as the Governor of Flr- ginia and tells Carnal that he himself will lure Jocelyn Leigh to the ship and Lord Carnal is deceived and Percy and his wife escape to the old watch house by the river In this house the action of the next act takes place. The deeep- ton has been detected by Carnal and he comes to the watch house and fights with Percy. But the men are separated by Governor Yeardley and put on parole, as in the duel scene in the novel Here also occurs the charming scene where Percy pledges his wife "We drink of the same cup; I will fight for you till the last ditch" Then the ship arrives with orders from the company; Carnal rushes to the house with soldiers, but is over powered by Percy and Is thrown by Jer- emy Sparrow, with the others, into trap door As they disappear through the floor some one asks in the din, "Where is my Lord Carnal?' Percy shouts back as he slams the trap door: My Lord has just stepped out Then the gallery goes wild, but the people in the stalls either look very serious or smile weakly. The last three scenes of the fourth act are laid in the hold, the cabin and on deck of the George, the pirate episode having of course been omitted. but brought out in the usual way Lady Leigh makes her touching appeal to Sir Francis Moat who sits with Carnal in the cabin. Percy staggers in with his arm sbound in rags and a daub of red paint. The "orders' of the new Governor are somehow brought into operation. Carnal swallows carbolic acid or some deadly disinfectant to purge his soul, and while is wondering how it all happened the next scene shows a great lurid moon leapng across the deck of the ship; the Lady Jocelyn discloses her
