A very costly mistake of one of the
largest lamp factories in the east is go
ing to prove bonanza for Marshall-
town people. a special agent making
this western territory for his factory in
Ohio ordered consignments of sample
lamps sent to him at all the larger
cities in Iowa, Des Moines, Cedar Rap
ids and Marshalltown, intending to sell
to the jobbing houses which he eX-
pected to find in each town and turn
over the lamps. When he reached this
city he found no jobbing house and was
compelled to sacrifice the samples or
pay return freights. Sinclair's Tea and
COTE House, always alive to snaps,
bought the whole lot at ridiculous fig
ure and will sell them Saturday at 20
per cent discount and move them all be-
fore their regular line, already pur
chased, arrives for fall trade. These are
elegant lamps ranging in value from 81
to $40, and only one sample of kind.

Hellberg knows how to repair any OF

TAKES SENSIBLE STEP
Carnival Company Very Sensibly
Decides to Call the Floral
Parade Off.
Will Spend the $500 Thus
Saved for New Free
Attractions.
Voting Contest for the Piano
Will Not, However, Be
Abandoned.

AT the latest meeting of the carnival
big floral parade scheduled for July 2
and expend the $4,000 set aside for that
spectacle in occurring other and greater
attractions for their free show of june
80 to July 6. While in number and
quality the company has already ar
ranged the greatest exhibition ever pC-
before Iowa people, the added $4,000
saved from the floral parade will ena-
bic the company to make the carnival
grounds the Mecca of all sight-seerS
and a memorable event in the amuse-
ment history of the west. 1t was after
n careful canvass of the business men
of the city that this conclusion was ar
rived at. 1t seemed to be the concen-
sus of opinion that the big free show
might better be strengthened by
number of high grade attractions than
TO expend so great a sum on any spec
tacular event which would be over il
few minutes. Whet the business men
desire goes with the company, Of
course and the parade was called OF
and all prizes offered for floats, etc, in
connection were taken down. The mon
ely, however, is on hand and will I've
used to make such a display Of Won
ders as the average citizen never
dreamed of. In this the company is
sensible, and its action will meet with
general approval.
OF course the abandonment Of the
floral parade obviates the necessity Of
a carnival queen, but the contest for
any means. The carnival company and
Mr. Tuffree have decided that the vote
will go on precisely as tho no change in
plans had been made, and the piano
will be presented to the popular lady
receiving the greatest number of votes
up to June %, at 8 o'clock p. m. The
piano has been given for the contest
and will positively go to the, winner. 1t
has further been decided that Tuffrees
Music Store will be made the
single polling place after 6 o'clock
next Monday evening, and bulletins
will be posted for the information of
voters whenever any change ia the
standing of the candidates occurs. IN
contest will develop and the ele3tion
grow greatly exciting as the time
draws near to the closing of the vote.
