SATURDAY TRADE GOOD.
Merchants Do Big Business and Indi-
cations Are That Holiday Rush Will

cations Are That Holiday Rush Will
Be Great.
Merchants in all lines Saturday did
& most satisfactory business, and the
first big crowds of holiday purchasers
were on the streets iostling each other
in their efforts to reach favorite trading
places and get waited upon first A
great many people from the smaller
towns in this vicinity visited the city
to take advantage of larger stocks from
which to make their selections, and the
union station Saturday evening, with
all trains belated, gave one an opportu
nity to see to what extent people from
surrounding towns used the day as one
in which to trade in Marshalltown. The
iateness of the earlier evening trains
allowed the crowds to congregate and
the capacity of the station waiting
looms was taxed. Bundles were piled
here and there and every train out OF
town was filed much the same as
enc would expect on a circus day The
merchants anticipate a great holiday
rush this season, if the present cold
weather continues, and the roads re-
main in a condition conducive to good
shedding. A large number of country
BUYERS which came to the city overland
was in evidence Saturday

Bread is reputed to be the
"staff OF life." Yet there are
some people who never eat
bread.
We allude to this because of
a curious parallel fact in medi-
cine. We recommend Vinol
and sell it on a guarantee of
money back if 1t does not bene-
fit the user. We don't expect
Vinol to help everybody. Yet,
strange to say, out of every one
hundred bottles sold, less than
two per cent. proved unsatis-
factory. In other words, ninety
eight out of every hundred
found Vinol of value many Of
them great value.
We want to say that If you
are rundown, weak, too thin,
ailing, with bad stomach, poor
appetite, cough, nervousness,
that we think Vinol will help
you.

Mt. Pleasant Asylum, Arrested IN
This City.
Frank Johnson, formerly farm hand
of Marietta township. who was or
dered sent to the state hospital for
the insane at Mt. Pleasant on June
10, was arrested at the Leland Hotel
at IL o'clock Monday night by Sheriff
Shoemaker and Deputy Hutson. john
son escaped from the hospital Saturday
night and word was received at the
sheriff's office Monday afternoon, APP
prising the officers of the fact. A tel
egram was received from Superinten-
dent Applegate this morning asking
the officers to return him at once to the
hospital.
Johnson was accompanied to the city
by K. S. Mills, a farmer living six
or seven miles west of Mt Pleasant,
to whom Johnson had applied for lodg-
ing after making his escape. Mills,
as it happened, was just about to start
for this city to visit relatives in the
country and came thru with Johnson
The latter still shows indications of
insanity altho Mills claims that he did
not suspicion it until Johnson confided
to him that he had left the asylum.

The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1902-08-12

follows: BY the state engineer of Col
orado, 147; by the state engineer of
Wyoming, II. The fact that surveys,
plans and estimates for 224 of these
works have been made in two states in
two years shows that activity in reser
voir construction is not confined to eff
forts to secure government aid, but
that large sums of money are being
expended in the construction of pri-
yate reservoirs.
An inquiry into this subject reveals
potent cause for this activity. Reser-
yoirs are being built because those
now in operation are profitable. These
have paid their builders. and are bene-
fitting the communities they serve.

At the outset the farmers of these

harvests; when the rivers ran dry,
the farmers saw their crops wither
and perish, but this latter was rarely
the case at first. Wheat and native
hay were the leading crops, and as
these We're irrigated while the moun-
tain SHOWS were melting and the riv-

changed when wheat farming gave
way to diversified crops. and alfalfa

came paramount necessity, and the
natural flow of these streams failed to
supply the demand. When the SHOWS
