ola mahogany Cleaned.

Kerosene was not successful and tur-
pentine required too much rubbing and
even then was not satisfactory for the
carved parts. So we tried little
piece with solution OF two heapng
tablespoonfuls Of sal soda to quart
Of warm water, put on with a tooth
brush well soaped, the place being I'M
mediately rinsed with cold water and
dried with soft cloth. Since then we
have used it on several woods, natural
and stained, and, homely as the recipe
may sound, it has never failed to give
good results. Afterward the wood
should be rubbed with a mixture OF
raw oil and turpentine.
One mahogany antique, q hundred
years or more old, that was so dis
colored as to hide the natural grain OF
the wood came out as bright as new
under this treatment Exchange.

Aged Man Run Down by Great
Western Train and Suffers
Serious Injuries
SKULL SLIGHTLY FRACTURED
John Hart, Former Member of Soldiers
Home Steps on Track in Front of
Freight Train and Has Narrow Es-
cape From Being kiIled-Iniuries
May Prove Fatal Because of Age.

John Hart a former member of the
Soldiers Home, living at present with
his daughter, Mrs. Swan Johnson, two
miles southwest of the city, had a most
narrow escape from being instantly
killed by being struck by Great West
ern freight train at about s o'clock
Tuesday evening. Hart escaped with
a slightly fractured skull, beside being
badly lacerated about the head and
badly bruised. He may recover, altho
the chances are against him because
of his advanced years.
Hart was on his way home when the
acct 'ent occurred. He had just climbed
on the track at point about mile and
a half southwest of town, and did not
apparently see extra freight No. 81, in
charge of Conductor James Lature,
which was approaching from the north.
The engine struck the man, throwing
him to one side of the track. He was
picked up by the train crew and
brought to this city, where he was
placed in the county hospital. His
worst injury is the fracture of the
frontal bone, little to the left of the
center of the forehead. Up to noon to-
day Hart still continued in a dazed
condition and did not seem to realize
the extent of his injuries.
Hart was, for a number of years, q
| member of the Soldiers Home, but has
not been member Of the institution
since Sept. II. 1901, when he took 6
| discharge. He is an old resident of the
city, and enlisted from the service, ii
1863, from this city, entering Company
I, Eighth Iowa cavalry. He served tive
years and was discharged at Macon
Ga. He came to the Home originally
/ from Storm Lake, on Jan. 80. 1901. Ac.
/ cording to the records at the Home h,
i is 70 years of age, altho he does no
t !, BGo.Tw gTRf-9 ig HIM HIM mhmn
have the appearance of being SO old
The name of James Hart, as neares
! relative, appears on the records, ant
| this Is supposed to refer to his son
who, at the time Hart entered tn
Home, lived at Storm Lake. 1t is said
/ however, that he has a son living in thi
city, north of the river, but so far h
i has not been located. A daughter Mrs
i Swan Johnson, lived two miles south
4 west of town, and it was for her HON
! that Hart had started when the acct
dent occurred. Hart had been drinkin:
/ and when examined at the hospital
half-pint bottle of whiskey, half emp
tiled, was found on his person.
While Harris injuries are not neces
sarily fatal it is feared that owing t
i his age they may prove so. At an
i rate his condition is very serious.
i The T.-R this afternoon succeeded il
/ locating the son, who is Charles Hart
residing on the I. N. Long farm, jus
across the river on the Center stree
road. Mr.. Hart is at present confine
to his bed on account of illness.

Commercial Club Will Dispose
of Industrial Addition Lots
by Chance
UNIFORM PRICE MAINTAINED
Drawing Will Occur at the East Court
Room Friday Evening at 8 O'clock
Sale Will Realize st4.4co, Which Will
Defray Cost of Land and Expenses
and Turn $4,000 to Pottery Plant.

The drawing of lots in Industrial adj
dition, in which is being erected the
mammoth new plant of the Marshall
town Pottery Company, will occur Fri
day evening at o'clock in the east
court room. Seventy-two lc wi le
disposed OF, at the uniform price of $500
each, altho ten of the poorer lots will
carry with them cash premiums OF $50,
and another. the prize lot, will contain
house, valued at about $500.
The Commercial Club has taken this
manner of disposing of the lots and
raising the necessary funds to be given
the pottery company, according to the
contract made when the company de-
eided to locate the plant here. The lots
will turn into the clubs treasury $14,-
400, and that amount will be sufficient
TO pay the original cost of the land, all
of the premiums and expenses, and fur
1lish the $4,000 to be turned over to the
company.
The lots that are to be disposed of
Friday night are the same as those sold
once before when the pottery plant
scheme was agitated, together with
/ several others that have been pur-
chased adjoining the original parcel OF
land.
/ There is considerable interest mani
| tested in the drawing, and the land Is
/ considered a good investment. The
company anticipates, within the next
few years, to be employing 400 men, and
enlarging its present main building
from three to six stories. Workmer
who will be employed at the factory
will want TO live near the plant, ano
many will be able to purchase the lots
themselves and erect their own little
Ihomes. To the purchaser who is SC
| inclined there will be good investment
in building and renting the property
AT any rate the land can not depreci-
ate, and is likely to greatly increase In
value within very few years.

THE SCHOOL BOARD.
Regular Meeting Held Tuesday Night
Without Incident.


With the truant law on one side and
the matter of collecting tuition from
the children of nonresident parents on
the other. the Marshalltown school
board is between two fires. The ques-
ton came up at the meeting last night
whether, in view of the provisions OF
the truant law. the order to Superin-
tendent Crane to exclude those children
of non resident parents who refuse to
pay tuition fees can be consistently en-
forced. The question is not only Civ
ing the board considerable worry, but is
source of much trouble to Superin-
tendent Crane. There are quite num-
Der of very worthy cases where the
board and superintendent would be
glad to waive the payment of tuition
for the, sake of the child, but there are
also many who are able but not inclined
to pay Superintendent Crane stated
that complaints are made daily by rela-
tives and friends of children who have
come to the city to attend the city
schools that they are unjustly required
to pay tuition, but that in a majority OF
cases they refuse to take the necessary
steps to show in good faith that the
I
nent residence and is actually a mem.
Der of the family, either by adoption OF
as ward of its guardian. The super
intendent is about ready to suspend 4
member who has failed to pay. The
question as to what effect the truan
law would have on these pupils wa;
brought up and it was suggested that II
| the law is enforced it would, in part a.
| least, nullify the boards rules ant
| place the members and the superin-
| tendent in the awkward position of ex-
| Guiding pupils from the schools in spit,
| of the compulsory education law, which
| was designed to keep them in school
While the board left the matter opeI
| for further discussion, it did take actor

ton of the cold appears. There is no
danger in giving it to children for it
