Herr kennaott Arrives.

Herr A. kenngott, a young German
gentleman and personal friend of the
United States Consul Mcfarland, ar
rived in Marshalltown Friday from
Nottingham, England. He expects to
locate here and engage in teaching
the German and French languages
Marshalltown students should be con-
graduated upon such an opportunity
to study modern languages, for Prof.
Kenngott comes very highly recon-
mended. He was instructor in Ger
many for both Mr.. and Mrs. Mcfarland
and reports that Mrs. Mcfarland was
rather the reader pupil. In a personal
letter to Mr.. d. w. Norris, Jr., dated
September IL, Mr.. Mcfarland says of
him:
Il gave a letter Of introduction to
young German, Herr A. Kenngott,
who was our teacher in the Berlitz
school at Nottingham. He had intend
ed going to America on his own
hook, and finally concluded to go to
Marshalltown direct. He is an educat-
ed, upper class chap whom we found
very gentlemanly. His father was
professor at Zurich, and he himself
is graduate of Zena university, and
Lie lt odiISTunS. Ills IA
Their lost his wealth and the boy had
to follow teaching. That he has taught
in Paris and England under Berlitz
for about two years is evidence of his
ability He is a fine German instruc-
tor and is equally good in French,
teaching the advanced natural method,
and he also speaks Italian. No better
luck could have happened to the Mar
shalltown people, young and old, who
desire to gain a practical knowledge
of those languages for he is one
teacher out of a thousand While we
are not exactly responsible for his
plunge to America, am afraid that we
are for his Marshalltown debut, for
we told him that it was the best town
of any four times its size in America,
the world not barred"
Yours truly,

DO HONOR TO LUTHER.
Anniversary of Reformation Celebrated
by Norwesians and Swedes Friday
M;oL&

u
Night.
The 3S5th anniversary of the Luth-
eran reformation was celebrated by the
members of the Swedish and Norweg-
ian Danish churches Friday night at
the Norwegian Danish Lutheran
church. The church was crowded, its
seating capacity being taxed. Beauti-
full flowers adorned the altar, in front
of which was a large portrait of the
famous reforTner, Martin Luther
The address of welcome was deliver
ed by the pastor, Rev. NJ. Londahl. The
Swedish choir gave several numbers,
and Rev. Linvall, of the Swedish
church was introduced and gave an
address on THE Wonderful Power of
the Reformation" Rev. Londahl spoke
en- "The Blessings of the Refornna ton"
1t was soul inspiring to listen to the
large congregation joining in singing
Luther's battle hymn: "a Mighty
Fortress Is Our God

that he lived in large house, had
small family, but he wouldn't be with
out the accommodation for twice the
amount of its cost.
No wonder that Chairman Greene, of
the water committee, stated to Times
Republican representative after the
Thursday night meeting, that he felt
as tho he was of no service on the COM
mittee at ALL and was of a good mind
to resign as chairman. After all the
labor that he and the other members of
the committee had been placed to, in
getting the ordinance in shape. had
made it consistent in every detail, and
had an apparent reason for every clause
and section, then to have one or two
members try to tear it apart and elimi-
nate the most essential portions, it was
discouraging in the extreme. Mr..
Greene says that the formulation of the
ordinance represents six months
thought and labor, and that there is not
a clause contained therein in which
there is not philosophy for its appear
ance.
That was certainly a dear letter that
President Jones, of the Marshalltown
Light, Power & Railway Company,
filed with the council at its Thursday
night meeting, giving notice of protest
against the assessment for Third street
paving. 1t was one of those heart to
heart letters, of the Mother Don't You
Love Your Darling Child?" sort, meant
to play upon the heart strings of the
city's fathers. Mr.. Jones gives as his
reasons for making the protest that the
company's franchise protects 1t In the
matter, and that it's business will not
justify any such expenditure. He asks
the council not to misunderstood him,
and he does not wish the company to
appear in the light of being opposed to
any public improvement in Marshall
town.
The letter caused a ripple of laughter
to pervade the council chamber, even
tho it was a touching appeal, seeking
Indulgence for the weakly institution
that is having such hard time to ex-
ist. 1t is certainly too bad that the
street car company is having so severe
trial to make both ends meet, and 1t
might be wise idea for the council to
pass a resolution calling upon the city
to pay the company's expenses for n
few months, until 1t can get upon
its feet again. Then perhaps 1t could
realize enough to pay for the benefits it
has derived from the pavement, which
has given it the only flrst-class road
bed it has had since the North Third
street line was placed in operation.
-
The city will go ahead with It's as
sessment, as advertised, and the street
car company will be notified OF the
amount it will have to pay The COM
pany will resist, without doubt, and the
matter will be tried in the courts. There
are already decisions, however, affect
ing similar cases, and they are in favor
of the municipal corporations.

The earthquake shock experienced
IN southwestern Mexico illustrates
and exemplifies the. unstable quality
of the territory lying along the Sierra
Madre range of mountains. And it
Is through this range that the west
ern section of the proposed Nicara-
qua canal is to be cut. Thereafter the
fateful cry, ''Tremblers!" will mean
something more in the isthmian re-
gion than destruction of frail build
sngs and perturbation among an ig-
norant peasantry.
