To the Stage
Struck Girl

had to suffer so much before achieving that success which was hers
by right, what is, what must be the lot Of so many mediocriies who
pass through the same fires with no reward in the end.
OF all girls, the stage struck girl who has no ability for the
profession into which she rushes ignoranty is the most to be pited.
How ] wish that might stem the tide Of girls who rush bindly
into a profession Of which they are ignorant, and for which they
are, as a rule, untitled, and in which dangers unnumbered Turk on
every side. Few who attempt to secure recognition on the stage
have but little or no idea OF what is demanded OF them in the way
Of natural abilities, and few, very few, have these natural abilities
to offer.
Girls think well Of the step YOU are making before offering
yourself as a sacrifice to the glory Of the f~ootights. II you have
the ability, the power and charm, that will win success, the stage
offers inducements that are attractive, BUT WlTHOUT THESE
IT OFFERS WORSE THAN NOTHING.

The Good Fellow Girl"
Not a Success
By MRS. RUSSELL A

Do not imagine, young woman, if you
are a "good-fellow" girl that you are a sue
cess, because it is apparent to everyone but
yourself that you are not.
You are about as pitiable a failure as a
girl can be.
But" you say, 81 am popular with the
men" That is not a specially commendable
ambition, but granting that it is, you are not,
in the strict sense, even popular with them.
Your free tanners and speech may render
you c~ompanionable to a certain class of men,
but even these do not ADMIRE you. In
deed, it is doubtful that they RESPECT

Dr.. Jonas, "The Man Who Buries
Alive" Arrives in the
City.
Coffin and Apparatus Used in

Exhibition.

DR.. L. Jonas, the man who buries
alive" arrived in the city today pre-
paratory to the making the necessary
arrangements for the burial alive of
the subject who is to pass carnival
week inferred on the carnival grounds
In grave guarded to prevent fraud.
The apparatus necessary to this ap-
parently superhuman act, coffin, tubes

Cigar Store this evening. This will
give all an opportunity to view the
various mechanical contrivances con-
measure explanatory.
Dr. Jonas assures the public that
the burial is as absolute and complete
an interment as If the subject We're
actually dead. The man is hypnotized
and prepared after the manner learned
by the doctor from Hindu adopts, and
remains practically dead until his res

walk Bond.

Henry c.. Mack, a cement sidewalk
contractor of the city, has donned his
war paint and feathers and proposes to
get the scalp of the entire city council
to hang on his belt. 1t seems that Mack
has been brewing war medicine for
some time and Isl now making an effort
to execute his threats. The trouble
seems to be the outcome of differences
that have existed between Mr.. Mack
and certain members OF the council for
some time owing to the unsatisfactory
quality of walks laid by Mack, as
claimed by the council
The councf, thinking that the bond
Mr.. Mack had furnishd for the satisfac-
tory completion of walks laid was in
sufficient to protect the city, required
him to furnish additional new bonds to
the amount of $1,000. The council
claims that many of Mack's walks in
the last few years were not up to con-
tract, that they have cracked and have
in every way proved unsatisfactory.
Many of the walks We're in such a con-
dition that the council has required
him toirelay portions of them. This has
so aroused Mr.. Mack's ire that he has
made an attempt to file information
against the entire council as body,
charging them with being guilty of yot-
ing for measure allowing members of
the council to furnish the city with sup
plies, in violation of the state law.
Mr. Mack consulted an attorney, had
drawn up and the same
were brought to a justice and he was
requested to swear out warrants for
the arrest of the entire council. This
the Justice refused to do not being GER
tain If his ground, and Mr.. Mack was
told that unless the informations had
the backing of THE county attorney he
would not act in the matter. Mr.. Mack
then proceeded to County Attorney
Stones office ard requested that Off

matter, stating that in case he did not

Mr.. Stone says, that he ordered him out
Of the office, telling him that he pro-
posed to conduct the affairs Of the
county attorneys office along lines as

that he had the matter under consider

OF VITAL IMPORTANCE
Marshalltown Business Interests
Must Work Together on Gov.
eminent Building.
Most Desirable Sites Being Held
al Figures That Are Too
High.
Government Can and Will Con
denim Ii 1t Sees Fit...An
Informal Meeting.

An informal meeting of MarshalltoWn
business men, who are interested III
Marshalltown first, last and all the
time, was held Tuesday night for the
ment building location. The best inter-
ests of the city demand that the bust
ress men get together on the matter of
location, and this will be done If such
4 thing is possible.
Several sites have already been sug-
gested for the new building, but as yet
all that are the most desirable, and
centrally located, are held at such enor
nous figures that it is hardly thought
the government will consider them. A
number of other quite desirable loca-
items, altho not so central, will be Of
fered in the bids of property owners,
and the prices for the same will not be
exorbitant, but at such figures that the
government can not help but investi-
gate and consider
Among the latter class now being
talked of are the old Click property at
the corner of Second avenue and
Church street, now occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Il. NJ. Dodge, and State street lots
at the corner of Second avenue. Either
site can be secured reasonably, yet
would not like to have
the building so far out of the way. The
business men of the city are not looking
ahead one year, or two, or ten, but
lifetime, and in trying to bring the loca-
ton matter to proper solution it has
the mind of future generations in view.
In the Tuesday night meeting only
matters in general We're talked over. 1t
Is likely another meeting will be held
soon, when reports on certain options
can be made. If the proper sites, or
rather the more desirable sites as re-
cards central location, can not be Sc
cured 1t is likely the secretary of the
reasury, or supervising architect, will
appoint an agent to investigate, and
that the land will be condemned at .
figure considered fair by the govern
nent. The matter of arriving at sat
S factory conclusion concerning loca.
ion is vital one to the city's business
interests, and is one in which all per-
;onal differences should be laid aside.

anne a law reads, The secretary of the

The work of installing the equipment
in the fire stations is progressing rap
idly and it will not be many more days
until the city will be provided with two
excellent stations. The interior work
on the central station is being pushed
rapidly to completion and in day or
two the work of training the horses
and men will begin. The placing of the
electrical apparatus and equipment is
practically finished in station No @,
and the men and horses began to learn
their duties today. Mr.. Hutchings, with
force of men, has been at work all
Gay placing the equipment, fitting the
harness and otherwise getting things In
readiness for the training Of the station
crew. Mr.. Hutchings will be supplied
with three men who will for the pres
ent compose the force at the south
side station and If they prove satisfac-
tory they will comprise the crew that
will be permanently located there. If
not they will be succeeded by others
until three are found who prove capa-
Bile. Mr.. Hutchings will probably spend
and will then come to the central sta

To T.-R reporter Mr.. Hutchings said
he thought that in ten days time the
horses and crews would be so well
trained that they would need no fur

Coffee Drinking Incapacitates Some
People for Business at Times.
A gentleman from McBain, Michigan,
says, Coffee drinking has cost me
much, for during my life I have been
many times SO thoroughly put out of
condition that 1 have been compelled
to abandon business for day or two at
time. The attacks or headaches
would commence on the right side be-
hind the ear and become so severe as
to totally incapacitate me for any ex-
ercise, even mental. have frequently
had to take morphine to relieve the suf-
fering. Sour stomach troubled me and
had a nervous heart that gave me
great deal of trouble.
-Four years ago I saw an advertise
ment for Postum Food Coffee which re-
cited the Ill effects of coffee on the
nerves. at once decided to make the
change and leave off coffee and take on
Postum. The result has been all that
one could expect.
II am never constipated any more,
the bilious attacks never come on eN-
cept from some indiscretion such as
drinking coffee, which I am foolish
to indulge in now and then.

and no bilious spells. l have
not been sick to my stomach or had q
vomiting spell in three years.
Am now 56 years old, and have better
health and do better business and
more comfortable than ever ever before
in my life. I certainly attribute the
change to leaving off coffee and using

aid in making the change.

Superintendent Sweeney, of the Cen
trial. on the matter of adopting sched-
a conference with General Manager l..
+. Day the committee returned to Os-
kalosa Tuesday with the satisfaction of
knowing that their request had been
granted. In an interview with the
committee the Oskaloosa Herald prints
the following, containing the outline of
the concessions made and the advan-
tages the new schedule will give to the
trainmen:
COMMITTEES representing the Iowa
Central freight and passenger service
have been in consultation with General
Manager L. T. Day, of the Iowa Cen
trail and the M. & st. L., and have sue
ceeded in having the Iowa Central
wage schedule for the train service
raised to a point where 1t approaches
the standard. The men succeeded in
getting the points decided in their ia
vor that were under discussion with
Mr.. Sweeney when that gentleman was
iii the city a few days ago.
1.-THE committee is to be congratu
lated upon the excellent work done and
upon their ultimate success.
1.-The committees spent Monday in
the city of Minneapolis with General.
Manager L. F. Day and presented their
argument. The conference was of sew
eral hours duration and morning and
afternoon sessions were held.
Some OF the most noteworthy
changes made by the bettered schedule
are as follows:
"On the thru freight runs the wages
have been changed from $3.50 for con-
ductors and s1.9O for brakemen per 100
miles to So and 81. On the local freight
the former figures have been $3.50 and
$l.90, and this is raised to 1925 and
$2.16 2-3.
with switchmen at Oskaloosa and
the raise amounts to
about 80 per cent, or where they have
received 81 they now receive $1.3O.
1.-THE general raise in the passenger
service for conductors, brakemen and
amounts to about IS per
month.
'The work train wages will hereafter
be made in accordance with other
schedules and this will not be quite so
good as under the present schedule.
"The changes that were secured by
the committee place the freight service
OF the road practically on a standard
basis and a start has been made upon
the standard foundation and men and
can now work toward bet
ter things.
"The pay of the men engaged on the
several branches has been bettered to a
extent and the Marshall
town. Mason City passenger run on
trains now known as and 4 is consid-
erably better.
''The gentlemen Of the committees
speak in the highest terms of the treat
nent and the entertainment received at
the hands of General Manager Day and
they are loud in their compliments OF
that gentleman. Every attention was
shown the committees that was posi- |
ole and the conference was Of the most
nature.
1.-The committees returned to the city
his morning and since it is becoming |
what has been accomplished
general satisfaction is being expressed"

WAS PERFECTLY HARMONIOUS.
Seventeenth judicial Convention at
Belle PLANE in Nature of Love

Seventeenth judicial Convention at
Belle PLANE in Nature of Love
Feast.
The Seventeenth judicial district
convention at Belle PLANE Tuesday
afternoon was nothing more or less
than love feast. In fact there wasn't
enough opposition to make 1t interest
ing, and the two judges of the district,
Hon. G. w. Burnham, of Vinton, and
Hon. Obed Caswell of this city, We're
renominated by reclamation. The
Marshall county delegates returned
home Tuesday evening more than sat
isfied at the outcome, and nothing but
words of praise could be heard from
them concerning the Tama contingent.
which 1t was expected might at least
attempt to cause trouble, owing to the
feet that Hon. n. G.. Ebersole, of To-
letlo, had not withdrawn from the con-
test up to the day of the convention.
The Tama people, however, showed the
proper spirit turnout the entire con-
vention, temporary and permanent
chairmen We're chosen from that coun-
ty.eand Hon. Welcome Mowry, who has
been alleged to have unfriendly feelings
toward Marshall because of his defeat
in the state convention for railroad
commissioner, made the motion to
nominate the two judges by acclama-
ton.
Senator Penrose, of Tama, was made
temporary chairman of the convention
and DIR. e. r. Smith, of Toledo, perma-
rent chairman. Mr.. Ebersole, the Tama
candidate, addressed the convention to
explain his position in remaining in the
contest, saying that he had wanted to
withdraw some time ago, but his con-
stituents would not listen to it, and it
was for their sake only that he re-
NAMED in the field. He stated, however.
that now, on the day of the convention,
he desired to withdraw, and hoped that
the convention would nominate Judges
Rurnham and Caswell by reclamation.
Mr.. Mowry then arose and made the
motion that was made in the wish ex-
pressed by Mr. Ebersole.
There was the lSindest of feeling at
all times, and Tama county has more
friends among the Marshall delegates
today than she ever had before.

ANOTHER WONDER OF SCIENCE
Biology Has Proved That Dandruff Is
Caused by a Germ.

Science is doing wonders these days
in medicine as well as in mechanics.
Since Adam delved, the human race has
been troubled with dandruff, for which
no hair preparation has heretofore
proved a successful cure until Newbro's
Herpicide was put on the market. 1t
is a scientific preparation that kills the
germ that makes dandruff or scurf by
digging into the scalp to get at the root
of the hair where it saps the vitality:
causing itching scalp, falling hair and
finally badness. Without dandruff
hair must grow luxuriantly. Herpicide
at all druggists. 1t is the only de-
StrOyer of dandruff.
