Protest About Drinking Fountain.

Editor Times Republican,: A mer-
chant protests against the city coun-
ellis recent order for the removal of the
only public drinking fountain in our
city. We should have more instead of
less.
The stranger who is in our city In
warm weather should not be compelled
to hunt up a soda fountain, pop stand
or saloon to allay his thirst. To one
who has been doing business for three
years where he could see and has no
ticed the throngs that gathered about
the only water fountain waiting for a
chance to fill their own cups as well as
to drink out of the common one this or
der of the council to remove the only
fount is wrong in his humble opinion.
This cry about conta mination Is a
fad carried to dangerous extreme, as
notice the proposition carried into my
place of business to the stranger who
comes into my place and asks for a
drink I make reply: mo. you can not
use my cup, for you might have dis
ease germ about you that would be dam
gerous for me to drink after you.''
1t is true you can not have a good
thing without some trouble, so with our
drinking fountain. There is some muss
around it. But the most of this grows
out of having horse drinking place in
connection, which could be removed and
have the horse drink elsewhere.
Here Is for more public drinking
fountains, not less, as ordered by our
city council. c. II. CULLEY.

memory. Blind Boone was born In
Marceline, Mo-, and Mr.. Young remem-
bers him as being rather worthless
colored lad who had very remarkable
musical talent. Mr.. Young was In the
pottery business at Marceline at the
time, and for years was we'll acquainted
with the now famous musician. This
was in the neighborhood of twenty-five
years ago. About eight years after Mr..
Young had left Marceline and was re-
siding in Macomb, ILL.,, when Boone
came to that city to give one of his con-
certs Mr.. Young met him on the street
and without giving his name asked Mr..
Boone If he knew who he was. Instant
ly by the sound of his voice, the colored
musician told him his name and where
he had met him. That incident &C.
CURED twelve years ago, and since that
time Mr.. Young had not seen his COL
cred friend until he came to this city
last week. AS soon as he heard he was
in Marshalltown Mr.. Young went to his
hotel and again, without proclaiming
his identity, asked the blind man If he
knew him. Boone Immediately told him
his name, where he had known him, and
mentioned the time of their last meet
ing in Macomb. Ill.

MILK WILL Be SCARCE.
Prospect. Are That Milk will Be Both
Scarce and Hiah This Winter.

Prospects Are That Milk Will BE Both
Scarce and High This Winter.
If YOU have a milk man who de-
livers to you good milk treat him most
kindly. II at times his commodity re-
minds you Of the blue sky or seems
tainted with q superior article of wa :
ter and chalk, only smile at him and
try to forgive and forget his shortcom-
ings. II you don't you may lose him,
and to lose him at this time of year
is a serious problem. Milk is scarce
and hard to get. and is commanding
IA good price and the indications are
that it will go higher. A person would
naturally suppose that with the album
dant rains of the summer there would
be plenty OF pasture. While the fields
appear green, dairymen claim that the
excessive rains have seemed to wash
the strength from out the grass and
there is but really little nourishment
left in it. Another thing, feed. both
grains and hay, is high. Owing to these
reasons, and others, one dairyman in
the city has gone out of business, and
one or two others are talking of doing
so. With this the case. and those who
are already in the business having
about all the business they can handle,
the milk proposition is becoming SER
ious one. Milk is now worth 6 cents
a quart, and there is every Indication
that the price may advance one or two
cents more. Most Of the milk being
sold is not up to the usual standard,
and the deficiency is also augmented,
by the fact that at this season of the
year many mich COWS go dry.

ANOTHER INDUSTRY.
Commercial Club Has One Ready to
Close Contract If Citizens En-.

dorse Il.
Secretary Sears, of the commercial
club. has asked the Z. -R. to call a pub
lie meeting of citizens in the east
court room Friday evening at 1880 to
hear the details of a proposition which
if endorsed will result in bringing ten
families to this city and the employ
ment Of from fifteen to sixty other
people. No soliciting of funds or sub
|scriptions will be allowed at this meet
ing but the directors of the commercial
club feel that the citizens in mass meet
ing should endorse the plan before
they go ahead.
1t is important that citizens turn
out to this meeting. They have before
them in the enormous pottery plant
now building visible illustration Of
what the commercial club can do with
the support of the citizens. The insti-
tuition to be discussed tomorrow night
has strong possibilities of becoming
las great an employing institution as
the pottery plant II properly encour
aged but it is disheartening and useless
for commercial club directors to labor
night after night in this public work
unless the citizens will turn out en-
masse when asked. Let everybody come
out and give a glad hand to every
stranger who has an industry to be To-
Gated in MarShalltOwn

WATSON RESIGNS
Tenders Resignation as Commercial
Agent Of the Iowa Central, and Will
Leave Service of Company on Nov. I
Future Plans Not Announced.

Commercial Agent 7. I. WATSON, who
has been in the service of the Iowa
Central for the past twenty years in
various capacities, rendered his resig-
nation this morning to Superintendent
Davis, effective Nov. /. Mr.. Wasson's
plans for the immediate future are In
definite, but he does not contemplate
leaving the city.
Mr.. WATSON first entered the service
Of the company twenty years ago as q
clerk In the Office OF the freight audi
tor. He later accepted position In the
auditing department, as bookkeeper,
and for several years after was chief
clerk under the administrations Of Aud
itors Benson and Gabelman. Upon the
death of the latter gentleman he was
made general auditor and served in that
capacity for over five years, or until
this department was consolidated with
that OF the NJ. & S. L.. and Mr.. Frank
Nay was placed at the head of both.
cepted the position of local freight
mercial agent. This position he has
filed since the change on April 1. Mr..
Wasson's leaving the employ Of the
company marks the departure Of an
other man who had reached a high po-
sition thru his labors with the COM
pany by which he had been employed.
While the head Of the auditing de-
partment he had supervision Of a large
force Of clerks and was held in high
esteem by all, not only for his ability
but for his fair and impartial dealings
with his men. Mr.. Wasson's plans for
the immediate future are not known to
a certainty, as he is not ready to make
them public, but it Is thought that he
has some business venture in this city
in which he will embark. His success
sor as yet is, OF course, not known.

Mr.. Stuart Robson.

Stuart Robson, who appears in "The
Comedy Of Errors" at the Odeon Mon
day. Nov. 8, probably has done more
than any other American actor of any
time to place this delightful Shakes
pearean comedy in its proper place in
dramatic literature. Mr.. Robson has al
ways stoutly maintained that "The
Comedy of Errors" is comedy Of the
highest order, while many persons, not
over-deep students Of Shakespeare
have been inclined to regard Is as a
farce pure and simple. Critics Of to-
day, however, almost to unit, have
come to accept Mr.. Rcbson's view as
correct and credit the actor with having
done for the play what the aged Mack.
lin did towards rescuing Shylock from
the buffooneries of the clown comedi-
ans.
This is Mr. Stuart Robson's first APP
.pearance in Marshalltown. but an actor
with his reputation should need no in
trodtctiOn.

LIKED THE LIBRARY.
State Regent Richards, Of the b. A. r.
Pleased With MarshaIItown Visit.

State Regent Richards, Of the 3. A. r.,
Pleased With Marshalltown Visit.
Mrs. Julian Richards, of Waterloo.
state regent of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. who was in the
city last week to address Spinning
Wheel Chapter on Patriotism" was
very much pleased with her visit. Es-
pecially was she interested in the new
Carnegie library, and to the Waterloo
Courier she spoke Of her visit and IL
brary as follows:
I'm the forenoon drive was taken
over the city which at present has
1000 inhabitants less than Waterloo.
Great activity is seen at the Soldiers
Home, where seven new buildings are
in process of construction, the general
assembly last winter having appropri-
ated generously for that purpose.
."The visitor is shown with pride the
new Carnegie library. not yet COM
pleted, but rapidly approaching the
finishing touches. Mr.. Carnegie gave
$4,000, the same amount as was do
mated to Waterloo and which, after
quite some discussion, AS the repre-
sentative Of Mr.. Carnegie puts 1t, was
Withdrawn.
"The library building in MARSHALL
town is built of light colored stone
from the quarries near the city and is
two stories high with a basement. The
reading room will have large windows
and will be admirably adapted for the
purpose intended. The stack room Is
of brick, semi-circular in shape and is
the height of the main building. The
architects are Patton & Miller, of Chi
cago. The building follows the classic
style OF architecture and is a thing OF
beauty from an artistic standpoint
alone. Then, too, it represents liber-
atty of thought and the broadening
influences OF culture. The locating of
the building caused some discussion.
but nothing serious occurred. Center
street in Marshalltown sometimes
widens, asserts itself and put on airs,
and then the west enders" and east
enders" have time and one might
imagine that that street was filled with
Cedar river water for the time being.
After awhile the division is overlook
ed and again the citizens are at peace.
1.-The west side of Center street was
chosen for the site Of the library on
ground given by the city, and peace
and harmony brooded over the laying
of the corner stone Of the handsome
building. The president of the library
board is Mrs. II. j. Howe. a woman
greatly interested In art and letters.
She is a prominent club woman of the
state and has for years been actively
engaged in library work. She is in
daily consultation with the architects
regarding the building, and in every
way possible has contributed to the
success Of the enterprise.
MAY we not some day point with
pride to Waterloo's public library?
Hasten the coming Of the day."
