Members Let Contract at Meet
ing Held Monday Night and
Ground Broken Today
A CHICAGO CHURCH THE MODEL
Expected That Building Will Be Ready
for Occupancy in the Spring, and
Building Operations Will Be Begun at
once-Edifice Will Cost, Including
Land, Between $1,000 and $4,000.

The members of the First Church of
Monday night, let the contract for the
erection of their new church home,
which will stand at the southeast cor
ner Of Main and Fifth streets, which
property was purchased year or two
ago by the church Ground was broken
today and the work of construction will
be begun at once, with the idea of COM
pleting the building for occupancy in
the spring. The new church will have
a seating capacity of about 400, and will
cost, when completed, between $4,000
and $4,000, the price including the cost
of the ground and the furnishings.
The congregation was first organized
April 80, 1892, by one of Mrs. Eddy's
loyal and faithful students, with twenty
charter members. Services have been
held for the last two years In the Kirby
building, corner OF Main street and Sec
ond avenue. The new building is to be
modelled on the lines of the Third
Church of Christ, Scientist, OF Chicago,
and is expected to be an artistic ana
worthy addition to the architecture OF
Marshalltown, as well as dignified
and restful home for the congregation
for many years to come. Christian Sci
entists look upon their church buildings
as a concrete manifestation of the spir-
itual truths of Christian Science, and
consequently in the present structure
the architect has given to the design
of the building qualities of simplicity,
steadfastness and truth embodied in
quiet, transformations structure of SIM
pie gables strong and enduring in con-
struction that it is believed are not Qua
struction that 1t is believer are not out
of harmony with the truths of Chris
tianity. No effert has been made to
make the building SNOWY or important,
indeed the contrary is true, yet the
quiet distinction of the simple, deeply
overhanging cornices and gables, the
soft mellow mosaics of the loaded win
dows and the purity of the color
scheme, warm grey and white, can not
fail to make building that the people
of Marshalltown will enjoy and be
proud of.
The general contract for the building
was awarded to Mr.. Fred Nissen, of
Marshalltown, and it will be con-
structed under the supervision of Mr..
Hugh NJ G. Garden, of Chicago, the ar
chitect who designed It, Mr.. Garden
was present at the meeting Monday
night and went over the plans with the
building committee.

stricken from the ordinances, so little
is it regarded The height of awnings
is another one that the merchants dis
regard. The law provides that they
shall be eight feet from the sidewalk,
yet there are not few that do not
exceed seven feet above the walk
The city has made law that says
that no distractions shall be placed
in either streets or alleys that Will IN
terfere with traffic for any length of
time. Yet a tour of the alleys close
to the center of the city will show two
places where the alley is almost TO-
tally obstructed. In one place big
pile of ashes thrown into the alley IS
the cause, the other, a huge heap OF
bricks from a recently burned build
ing have been piled in such way that
they have fallen down, almost obstruct-
ing the driveway. This same tour of
the alleys of the business part OF the
city will disclose another thing, that
of all the thoroughly disreputable
looking places in this city, the rear OF
some of the stores of Marshalltown IS
the worst. Boxes, ash heaps, papers
blown in confusion everywhere, bon
fires, debris and dirt of all kinds are
everywhere in evidence, regardless of
the fact that the city prohibits the
piling of ashes, except in certain
places, and the building of bonfires
likewise, both are disregarded openly.
Many of the rear yards of the stores of
this city have the appearance of never
having been cleaned, judging from the
accumulation of miscellaneous refuse.
The railroads also come in for their
share of disregarding ordinances. Two
of these provide that trains shall not
be run thru the corporate limits of the
city at rate to exceed six miles per
hour, and another that no train shall
blockade public crossing for longer
than five minutes. Anyone who has
occasion to visit the depot district need
not be told how often each day these
are disregarded.
While all of these are small matters.
yet the result from many of them
may at any time prove serious, and
more careful observance would not only
in many cases improve the city's APP
pearance, but would also do much to
improve city government. Those that
have been mentioned are but very
few observed in a half hours walk
about town. and represent but small
per cent of the many ordinances that
are practically dead.

Old Innocence.

Marshalltown theatergoers will be
glad to hear that Tim Murphy is soon
to appear here in "Old Innocence" q
comedy that is imbued with the in
gradients that the purer minded most
desire.
Not an offensive line or situation
mars it's happy progress. The dialogue
fairly scintilates with epigramatic wit
and brilliant situations interpreted by
an unusually clever company of far
ceurs, whose names in a cast means
thorough knowledge Of the art. The
individual effort of Mr.. Tim Murphy,
|as Jason Green" the aged philanthro
pist proclaims him an artist of inter-
national reputation. Miss Dorothy
Sherrod, as May Green" Jason's wife
has a part perhaps the best in which
she has ever been seen. The remaining
characters are in the hands of COM
potent players who help form COM
pany that for individual brilliancy is
far superior to any that has been seen
in support Of this popular star.
Mr.. Murphy's appearance in this city
will be at the Odeon on next Friday
evening.

APPLES IN ABUNDANCE.
Are Being Shipped Into the Northwest
In Large Quantities.


st. Paul, Nov. 4.--Apples are being
poured into the northwest. Every lit
tie hamlet in Minnesota and North and
South Dakota has received at least one
carload. They come mostly from the
south and east and as usual Missouri
is getting the largest part of the trade.
The unusually good crop, which is es-
timated at 100000 barrels, against
100000 Of last year, and the hne
weather have combined to break the
record in the number of growers who
are shipping direct to the northwest
this fall.
An unusual feature of the trade is the
large quantity of bulk apples shipped
from the southwest. Being thrown
loose into the car. they are not such
good keepers as the barrel apples, and
so are disposed of at much lower
price.
Up to date, the quality of the apples
shipped has been inferior, but from now
ON it is expected that a higher grade
will appear, as number of Minneapolis
wholesalers have mada good purchases
for storing, and these will be here soon.
The Ben Davis, apple experts say, is
doomed. Its protitablenass from COM
mercial standpoint resulted in over
production, which has caused dis
couraging fall in the price.

No Excitement About the Polls
and Voting Up to Average
in Most Wards
SLOW IN FOURTH ANE' FIFTH
Indications Are That for the Most Part
There Is But Little Scratching
Claim There Is Some in the Fourth
Democratic Boomerang Considered
as Joke and Hopeless Effort.

The general election of 1902 will be
| in the history of the city. There is alb
| solutely no excite ment manifested at
| the polls, or in their vicinity, and the
voters are apparently going to the polls
casting their blanket sheets and going
about their business. But very little
work is being dore by any of the cam
didates, which gives the appearance
that nearly all have concluded that
straight tickets are being voted.
The indications in most of the wards
are that there is but little scratching,
altho claim is being made in the
Fourth that cons iderable marking UP
of the ballots is being INDUCED in. The
Second led in the vote at o'clock, with
the Fifth at the bottom of the list. In
the Fourth the vote was also small at
this hour, and those about the polls
said they had never seen the 'levee" SO
quiet on an electi On day.
AT o'clock the First ward had polled
204 votes out of IL total registration OF
655, and with ne;lrly 700 voters in the
precinct. 1t was little light for the
middle of the day. and not quite up to
standard. The Second had cast 325 out
of total registration of CTS or almost
half In the Third 261 votes We're cast
at a'clock, and n this ward there are
about S25 votes, and a total registration
of GOT. The Fourth had but i54 votes
in out of total registration of about
500, and the Fifth 102, out OF about 500
qualified voters.
The judges and clerks in the different
precincts are as follows:
First-Judges, /. T. Kirby, Hans Err

Paine Celery
Compound
Makes Permanent Cures in
Chronic and Complicated
Cases OF Rheumatism
Il Gives New Life to Helpless and
Crippled Men and
Women

Professor Edward e. Phelps, NJ. D.,
LII. D., has given to his profession
positive and permanent cure for all
forms of rheumatism from which so
many suffer in the autumn season. To
the rheumatic, this truth should prove
encouraging and comforting. Men and
women suffering intense agonies from
a disease that frequently sdffens the
joints, cripples the limbs and renders
its victims quite helpless, can be re-
stored to activity, vigor and health, If
Paine's Celery Compound be used for a
few weeks. There is every reason why
sufferers should pin their faith to this
best of medicines. Your friends and
neigfbors have used it with success;
the honest physician is prescribing 1t
every day In cases where all other
means have failed, and they are de-
lighted with the happy results. Why
hesitate, or doubt the powers, virtues
and efficacy of the medicine that Is cur
ing thousands today? 1t is your only
hope; your safety and life depend upon
its use. Lizzie Pierce, Folger Tenn,
once helpless and in a critical condition
from rheumatism, writes thus:
81 had rheumatism so bad that 1 could
not walk, and could not bear to have
my legs moved; often thought the di-
sease would kill me. I commenced talk
ing Paine's Celery Compound: I used
two bottles and have not had the
slightest symptoms Of rheumatism
since. / wish / could tell the whole
world the good your medicine has done
for me. My mother, who had rheu1na-
tism for years, was cured by Paine's
Celery Compound after using a few
bottles. She can run now like a child
and says she feels ten years younger.
/ could tell you of a dozen or more peo-
pie who were cured by Paine's Celery
Compound"

HAVE YOU ANY OF THESE
Symptoms Of a Very Common Trou-
BILE?

There Is no disease so common in the
| United States as catarrh, because 1t
appears in so many forms and attacks
so many different organs.
| 1t is a common mistake to suppose
| that catarrh is confined to the nose and
| throat. Any Inflammation of the mu-
cous membrane, wherever located, ac-
companied by abnormal secretions, is
catarrh. Catarrh of stomach or bladder,
or intestines, is nearly as common as
nasal catarrh, and much more serious,
altho it is true that stomach catarrh
and catarrh of other internal organs Is
the result of neglected nasal catarrh.
A new remedy has recently appeared
which, so far as tested, seems to be re-
markedly effective in promptly curing
catarrh, wherever located. The prep
aration is sold by druggists generally
under the name of Stuart'S Catarrh
Tablets, and in addition to being very
palatable and convenient, possesses ex-
traordinary merit in many cases giving
immediate relief from the coughing,
hawking and constant clearing Of the
throat and head, those symptoms with
which every one is familiar who has
ever suffered from colds in the head
Catarrh is simply continuation OF
these symptoms until the trouble be-
comes chronic and grows gradually
worse from year to year.
Stuarts Catarh Tablets, are compos-
ed of Hydrastin, Red Gum and similar
lntiseptics and catarrh specifics, from
which it will be seen that no secret is
made of the ingredients and also that
no mineral poisons are used, as Is the
ase with many we'll known catarrh
medicines.
For catarrh of the nose, throat, bron-
HAL tubes, for catarrh of stomach, in
estines or bladder no preparation is
20 safe and gives such rapid and per-
lament results as Stuart's Catarrh
ablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents for
nll sized package. You can use them
18th assurance that you will not cont
act the cocaine or morphine habit as
he results from this catarrh cure are
tpparent from the first days use. |

Stuart Robson in Delightful Presen-

Stuart Robson in Delightful Presen-
tation of Shakespearean Comedy at
the Odeon.
Stuart Robson, actor of the old
school, lover of the classics and
portrayor of the legitimate because of
his love for it, was the attraction at the
Odeon Monday evening, Mr.. Robson
and an excellent company appeared in
one Of Shakespeare's most brilliant
productions, "The Comedy of Errors
Mr.. Robson had excellent support in his
entire cast, and especially noticeable
was that of his double, Dromio of
Ephesus, Clifford Leigh, Edwin Holt,
fas Antipholus of Syracuse, Adolph
Jackson's Antipholus of Ephesus, Miss
Eleanor Barry and Miss Frances Ora
peared as Dromeo Of Syracuse. The
lines abound in high class wit turnout
and the entire production was all that
could have been asked for. True, it was
hard to realize that a man of 65, APP
pearing in a character bordering on the
juvenile, could so deceive an audience
behind his paint, but this Mr.. Robson
does. The company Jared the same
fate as did Louis James and Frederick
empty seats. Too many good attrac-
tons for the week, and the general
failing in popularity for the higher
order of the Shakespearean drama, are
responsible for the poor business to
which each Of these superb attractions
played.

HOW CUSTER WAS SLAIN.
Old Indian Named Appearing Elk
Claims to Have Shot the General.


Claims to Have Shot the General.
Philadelphia, Nov. According to g
story told by a former Sioux chief, now
an Episcopalian rector, the man who
killed General Custer was Appearing
Elk. The former Sioux is the Rev
Philip DaIoria, of Flora, S. d. He says
old Chief Appearing Elk and knowing
that about a year ago he converted the
that the warrior had been in the Little
Big Horn battle, asked him who had
killed Custer.
Il did," he said. The story as told
to the rector by the old warrior fol-
lows:
1--WE had surrounded the last cluster
of soldiers when my pony was shot
from under me. When got on my feet
again I discovered that 1 had been
wounded. Suddenly man in blue
doomed up in front of me.
II knew he was big chief. He was
swaying like a drunken man from ex-
haustion and loss of blood because OF
many bullet and arrow wounds. I felled
him with my tomahawk and then sat on
his body to be sure that should not be
robbed of my spells. In order to make
doubly sure / took the revolver from
the holster of the dead man and stuck 1t
III my belt"
Appearing Elk died last spring.

others who depend upon their labors IN
that direction alone for their income.
The fire committee has been investigat-
ing the matter and has ascertained that
Anderson looks after his painting con-
tracts only during the hours that he is
off duty.
In the rules and regulations govern
ing the employment of the city fireman,
SO far as known, there is nothing that
covers this particular point. A menu
Der of the fire committee is of the opin-
ion that there is nothing can be done,
altho he realizes that it is hardly TAR
to the other mechanics of this line IN
the city. Until rules are made covering
the point in question it is thought that
no action can be legally taken.

Considered as Good Joke and Has Not
the De.iired Effect.
As usual, the democratic one-nan
machine threw his boomerang on the
eve of election, or rather in the hours
of the early moraing. When the polls
were opened this morning yellow fever
handbills were posted on the street corr
ners nearest the polls warning the pub
lie Of the iniquiti of trusts" The
posters were printed on the backs of
yellow" sheets, he other side contain
ing sample ballot, printed in the Re-
fiector office. The important side of the
quarter sheets hears the earmarks of
the Democratic Lord High Dictator,
and reads as follows:
What closed the glucose and threw
500 men out of employment!
is-s.-> TRUSTS.
What moved the Iowa Central offices
to Minneapolis and took its 100 en-
ployes and their families uI' there?
TRUSTS AND RAILROAD CoMBI-
NATIONS.

What makes it cost you IS per cent

TRUSTS.
DO you receive IS per cent larger

NO!
What party las been in power and

ty.
If you like it vote the republican tick
ct, If not then vote the remocratic tick
ct, because they can not make it worse
and they claim they will help us.
While republicans in general con-
sidered the effort a huge joke 1t is
interesting to refer to the badness OF
the false Instructions A leading mar
ket was teleph oned and the butcher
says round steaks, largely bought by
the, laboring eeple, asa the same price
today that they were one year ago.
The coal dealers report an increase of
$1.25 on soft coal, and an advance of
So on the anti racite product over
year ago. A leading contractor says
he is paying $1.75 for unslkilled labor
this year when last year he obtained
the same class for $1.25 and $1.50. and
for the services of mechanics he has
to pay from $3.50 to SO, as against
1925 to $3.50 last year. The reader
may draw his own conclusion.
