LOCAL COMMENT.

Marshalltown is in the position of pos
sessing a detention hospital for small
pox and other contagious diseases, bu
with no smallpox, while many Of thu
cities of Iowa have no isolation hospita
and from ten to 100 cases. If the author.
tiles of any of these cities should seek
advice from this quarter, the answer
would be, Go thou and do likewise"

The art scheme recently worked in
this city and elsewhere tells the same
old story of the oerweening desire
of the people to get something for moth
ing. 1t isn't always the ignorant people
who don't read the newspapers that bite
at every tempting bait, only to get
hooked.
Since the man with the wrench has
been around the city City Clerk Shaw
says he has had callers at his Office who
had never before been there, and I'M
doubtedly many of them had to inquire
the way to his office In order to pay
their water rents.
This seems to be the defendants term
of the district court. Every jury case
so far tried las resulted in favor of the
defendants. County Attorney Stone
thinks. however that the conditions
will change next week when the criminal
calendar is reached.

When the Great Western puts on two
additional trains the number of passen-
ger trains entering Marshalltown every
twenty-four hours will be twenty eight
AS these trains come from all directions
it is readily eeen that no city in the en-
tire state. mot excepting Des Moines. is
more easy Of access.

The farmers ard residents OF the city
to the south. southeast and southwest
ought to be successful in their efforts,
commenced to procure the con-
struction of an overhead crossing of the
tracks on South Center or some
other adjacent street. The agitation OF
this question few years ago resulted
in the construction of gates at some of
the crossings, and while gates and flag
men are better than no protection what
ever, they are not sufficient to bring
about safety to the people who of neces-
sity pass over the tracks daily or for the
free and unobstructed crossing OF the
same.
A Marshalltown attorney who was
in the LAMA case, recently
decided in the supreme court, expresses
=, l,o5 .,,1a
otherwise than 1t did in favor of the de-
PENDANT quarry company, it would open
the doors to innumerable damage suits
For every accident great and small and
would in time bankrupt companies and
individuals employing men in avoca-
lions that are in the least hazardous. A
man who meets with an accident is en-
titled to sympathy, and If the fault is
With his employers he should have
damages as partial recompense. but In
many accidents the fault is entirely
with the employee, as the supreme court
pays it was in the case of Mr.. LAMA.
