After short period Of uncertainty
Mr.. Willard Hull received this morning,
direct from Secretary of State Hay, his
appointment to the United States dip
lomatic service. as student, with or
ders to report at Washington, D. G., on
Oct. at 10 o'clock a. m. Mr.. Hull
received notice of his appointment once
before, but shortly after was disap-
pointed by the receipt of a second no
tice saying that Fred D. Cloud, of Des
Moines, in Congressman Hull's district,
had been appointed and that since there
were only ten appointments to be made
Iowa would hardly be entitled to more
than one. The matter was Immediately
taken up with Senator Allison and Con-
gresham Cousins. The former replied
that 1T was possible he had recon-
mended both candidates, altho he could
not remember of having recommended
young Cloud, but that in either event
he would do all he could to take care of
Hull even if both appointments had to
be secured for Iowa. Congressman

low it until the last dog was hung, and.
with the result that Hull's appointment
has been reaffirmed. The matter was
probably settled with the president at
the recent Oyster Bay conference,
where Senator Allison was entertained
by the chief executive. What has been

Capt. Cummings, Of Station No. 2, Re-
Experimentation to be Made.
The members. of the fire committee
Of the city council are Of the opinion
that the city fire stations were built
and are for other purposes than an all
tar Of marriage for the Joining of young
lives who feel they can not exist apart.
The sequel to the two weddings that
took place in station No. 2 is having
more serious results than was anttci-
pated. Maurice Cummings has been re-
lieved from duty as captain and placed
in the uptown station as a pepiman.
Driver Charles Roupe has been trans
ferred from station No. and promot-
ed to the captaincy of station No. 2.
Members of the committee have also
been informed that not only was the
fire station used as wedding bower,
but also the wagon was utilized for a
CARROT In which the bridal couples made
a wedding tour of the city shortly after
their marriage. This charge has been
denied by Fireman Claude Watson, one
of the grooms, who said that the wagon
was only taken out at the regular time
for exercising the horses. The COM
mittee, however, intend to investigate
the matter and find where the fault lies
and take the proper method Of correc-
ton. Captain Cummings was relieved
because he had charge of the station
and should not have allowed the nup-
ltials to have been pulled off in the city
property. After thoroughly Investigate
ing the matter the committee will make
the changes they deem necessary.

FoREcLosE BIG MORTGAGE.
Special Execution Levied on MARSHALL
town Stone company's Plant al


A special execution was levied this
forenoon by the sheriff's officers upon
the property of the Marshalltown Stone
Company by D. T. Denmead, holder of
a mortgage for $1,000. +. G. Pierce
and G. II. 2. Boardman are the prin-
cipal owners of the stone company,
but aside from the company the Acm,
Road Machinery Company, John L.
Herbert, Joel L. Nicholson and the
Louis Drach Construction Company
are mode defendants.
The Drach company is already de-
PENDANT in a suit brought by the stone
company for $4,000 damages for fail
ure TO comply with contract. The
Drach company leased the plant IN or
der to furnish the Great Western rail-
way with crushed stone. 1t has not
operated, hence the suit on the part OF
the stone company. It was because of
the failure of the Drach people to oper-
ate, and the consequent failure OF the
company to pay the stone company,
that the latter was not able to meet its
obligations set forth in the mortgage.

LABOR AND MATERIAL SCARCE.
Lack Of Both Mechanics and Material
Delaying Work at Soldiers Home
Homo Notes.

i
Both the lack OF men and material
are Joining together to delay the new
buildings now in progress at the Sol
diers' Home as much as possible. La
borers are plentiful but mechanics,
bricklayers and stone masons are
scarce and extremely hard to find. AL
tho Contractor Atkinson is sparing no
effort to push the work as rapidly as
possible 1t is not progressing as fast
as he would like. Another thing that
is having some effect on the progress
of the work is that since the recent
organization of the brickiayers and
stone masons into unions they are
working but nine hours a day, where
they We're working ten before. Exca
walton for the new addition of the
kitchen is being made and will be COM
pleted in a few days. The founda-
ton Of the assembly hall is also prac-
tically finished and the work of tearing
out the old boilers in the heating plant
has been commenced and it is hoped
that the new boilers will soon arrive
to be set in their places. The new
64O-ton ice house is entirely finished
and will hold the entire years supply
of ice that is used at the Home.

entity are not slow to appreciate the
big inducements offered at this cut
price sale on such artistic, world-re-
nowned makes Of instruments. and the
easy payment plan enables the most
provident to have music in their homes.
This appreciation is shown by the fact
that many have purchased pianos and

expected to buy for two DRY three years
to come. Tomorrow, beginning at 2

until late in the evening, there will be
one Of the finest musical programs CIV

Manager C. NJ. Mathews, of the Mar
shalltown Pottery Company, which is
going to erect $4,000 pottery pot
terry plant In this city, arrived in the
city Thursday afternoon. accompanied
by Superintendent Joseph Young, of
Burlington, and Mr.. George Jeffries. of
Monmouth, ILL.,, an expert pottery
builder. In company with Contractor
Chris Reimer. of this city. who has
been awarded the contract for build
ing the plant, the men visited the site
where the new concern is to be located.

Manager Mathews and Superinten-
dent Young commenced today to un-
load the cars of material that are al
ready on the ground. including largely
kiln brick.

In speaking of the situation today
Mr.. Mathews said: I'VE want all the
laborers that we can get hold OF, ana II
II am informed correctly there is I'M

Will BE Biggest Iowa Plant.
Tho new pottery plant will be the
largest in Iowa. At present plant To-
Gated at Ft. Dodge Is the largest in
the state, and it's output will be
small compared to that of the new
plant here. Statistics recently COM
piled show that there Is $1.25O,0O0 worth
Of pottery sold in Iowa annually, and
only about $4,000 manufactured in the
state. Manager Mathews sees a bril-
liant future for the plant, even II the
business Of the home state is catered
to. He says that the Marshalltown
plant will not have any very strong
competitors anywhere, for its output
will be largely specialties, the patents
for which the company owns. Special
machinery is necessary for the work.
Clay is Excellent.
i Manager Mathews received few
days before coming to the city reports
of more recent tests made from the
Clifford clay He says that while the
first tests were perfectly satisfactory
the later ones are far more so, and
that it has been found that the clay is
adaptable to any use in the pottery
line.

composed of $50 head, all raised at the
Home. Some are now almost to be
fattened for the market. They are OF
the Poland China and Red Rock Jersey
breed. This industry is the source OF
considerable revenue to the institution
as over $1,000 has been realized from
their sale already this year. But very
little pork is consumed at the home,
and then only the better cuts of the
animal. For this reason and also that
the institution is not properly equipped
for butchering, they are sold instead of
being killed for Home consumption.
The cost of feeding and fattening is
comparatively small, as they feed to
considerable extent on the kitchen
scraps. Col. Horton is experimenting
with alphalpha and has this summer
raised quite crop that will be used as
q part ration for the porkers.
Quite a colony Of fox squirrels have
made their homes in the old oak trees
on the Home grounds. Many of these
little animals have become quite tame
from the kind treatment they have re-
ceived and can almost be caught. Some
visitors to the grounds seem to take
a delight. however, in shooting them
with air rifles or being accompanied
by dogs. the latter chase the little
creatures and cause no end of annoy
ahce to the Home guards. For this
reason signs have been posted at the
entrances of the grounds reading that
neither dogs or firearms of any kind.
air rifles are allowed therein.
Persons found on the grounds with
either dogs or guns will be elected by
the guards.
