Tuesday it's selection of a superinten-
den to succeed Mr.. e. Willard re-

spending much time considering the

narrowed down to four candidates, with
the chances in favor of a gentleman
who is a non resident of the state, but
who has had wide experience and is
considered an unusually strong man for
the position.
Former Principal c. c. Carstens. of
the high school. who is pursuing adj
vanced studies in a Pennsylvania uni

considered by the board, and there was
some talk of offering him the place, but
this has ben abandoned as it Is not be-

The Iowa conference of the United

a new mission church in this city this
season, and a site for the building has
already been purchased. The church
will be erected during the coming sum-
mer, and Rev. p. B. Meloy, of Colo, has
been selected as pastor.
The United Evangelical church So
ciety of this; city is fouishing but the
house of worship is on the south side
and inconvenient to those of the de-
nomination who reside in other parts of
the city and to others whom the church
desires to reach. The conference has
adopted an expansion policy and is
pushing the work into the populous
centers.
At the last annual conference held in
Colo in March 1t was decided to begin
eastern portion of the city was decided
upon as the most favorable point. A
committee, consisting of Presiding Ell
ders G. w. Mullen, of Nevada, and E. b.
UT, of Lisbon, with Rev. j. b. Meloy.
of Colo, and Rev. S. Skogsberg, CT the
MarshalltoWn church, was appointed to
promote the, undertaking. The commit
tee has held several meetings, and at
the last session an option held on prop
erty located on the corner of East State
street and Fifth avenue was accepted.
Steps are now being taken to built a
church during the coming summer, and
about $4,000 Will be expended on lot and
building. The new church will be cit ler
q frame structure or brick veneered. A
building committee, in the persons Of
Mr.. j. S. BARLEY, Rev. j. b. Meloy and
Rev. Skogsberg has the matter in
charge.
The conference will provide the
funds for the purchase of the lot, put
the balance of the money will be raised
by subscription in Marshalltown. Rev.
]. B. Meloy will be the pastor of the
church. and he will divide his
time for the present between Marshall
town and Colo. He will continue to
make his headquarters in Colo for the
as he is pastor Of the church
at that place.
The conference and trustees believe
they have a good field for the extension
of the church work in Marshalltoyn,
and are quite enthusiastic in their eff
forts to promote the undertaking.

CT each year to work among the various
colleges in this section of the state, TINS
matter came up for the consideration
| OF the board. This new idea met with
| approval by the board and was favora-
| bly, acted upon. While taking Mr.. Fell
| ingham away from the city a small por-
ton of the time, it will in the end be of
benefit to the association here, as in
his outside work Mr.. Fellingham viii
come in contact with the various col
lege associations and will receive new
ideas that he can use in furthering the
work here.
The Y. NJ. c. A. officials here say that
the annual cost to the association for
each member is S11, while the associa-
ton has received only So in member
ship fees from each member. In order
to further the work both religiously and
physically a committee will be APP
pointed to go among the citizens and
ask for donations to the amount of ST.
600. This is made necessary owing to
the fact that the work requires two
men besides the janitor, and in order to
properly take care of the physical
reeds of the members physical direc-
tor will be employed the year around
For this purpose and to secure special
speakers to promote the religious work
the $1,000 donation to be asked for viii!
be employed. Owing to the monthly
donations received from the Iowa Cen
trail the citizens heretofore have been
asked for no donations to help the work
excepting for the purpose of building
and repairs.
On Wednesday Mr.. Fellingham goes
to Lake Geneva, Wis, to attend the
college conference of the middle west
This he attends in the interest of the
state college work.

Every one, of course, knows that
woolens are never boiled, but excessive

BY using Peosta Soap the woolens
can be washed in tepid water and If

Rubbing between the hands, if you use

A GORGEOUS PARADE
1t Will Be a Picture Of Beauty
and Long to Be Re.
membered.
Those Who Wish to Participate
Should Notify the Com.
mittee.
Six Leading Bands Have Been
Secured for the Grand
Parade.

The feature of the carnival on July
will be grand and gorgeous floral
and industrial parade on the main
streets of the city, participated in by
| citizens, manufacturers, merchants,
uniformed societies, etc, for which the
carnival company, in it's usual liberal
manner, has offered to the participants
most generous prizes in addition to the
courtesies of the grounds.
The floral parade in itself will be a
| picture of beauty such as has never
been seen upon our streets before.
Marshalltown has more fine turnouts
for its size than any city in the state,
and more pride In their display. To
those who have seen a floral parade it
is perhaps needless to mention the eX-
quisite appearance or artistic design of
decoration in flowers nor the enthusi-
assn and delight of the people in wit
Messing such u parade.
The industrial feature offers a rare
opportunity for unique and lasting adj
vertisement and will appeal direct to
the people, leaving a permanent i'm
preston and at the same time bring
before the thousands of visitors who
will throng our streets the strength, the
scope and the magnitude of the manu-
featuring and other business industries
of our city.
A committee of representative citi-
zens will have charge of the entries,
formation and line of march of the par
ade, and 1t is earnestly hoped that taose
desiring to enter will communicate with
the chairman at an early date in order
to secure good position in the parade.
The personnel of the committee is as
follows:
H. e. Sloan, chairman; B. A. Beeson.
L. S. Peckham, c.. III. Hull. B. A.
Rhoades, A. F. Bach, w. S. Robbins, A.
II. p. Densel, L. C. Abbott, L. B. Jones.

Floral Parade.
This will be escorted by Marshall
towns pride, the Forty ninth regiment
band, in full strength. headed by the
magnificent float of the carnival queen
and decorations that will cost $1,000.
and by far the most expensive and
elaborate feature of its kind ever seen
in this city.
Following this will come the decorat-
ed private conveyances of our citizens,
