SKIRT FACTORY CONES
New Industry Employing Thirty
People Will Locate in
Marshalltown.
Contract Is Closed and $1,000
Will Be forfeited if Not
Carried Out.
Commercial Club and Mr.. Sears
Worked Hard and Long
to Get II.

After long and persistent efforts the
Marshalltown Commercial Club thru its
secretary Mr.. Sears, and it's board of
directors, has closed contract with the
Capital Skirt Company. of Des Miones,
for removal of it's factory to this city.
The club agrees to erect on the lots ly-
and Market street a brick and stone
factory building 40x10O feet, two stories
and basement and to make fair recon-
pense for the cost of moving when the
company shall be employing thirty peo-
PIE. The building must be completed
by July l, when the company will lease
1t at fair rental for ten years with the
privilege of buying.
The Capital Skirt Company is at
present doing a prosperous business in
Des Moines making dress skirts. 1t is
employing at present about thirty peo-
pie and intends to enlarge it's business
when firmly established in Marshall-
town to working force OIL SeVenty-uVe
to 100 people.
The Commercial Club has met with
many discouragements in it's efforts to
build up the city's industrial interests
but a few men have worked on, giving
their time night after night and even
days and then when there was money
to raise each contributed a full share.
Secretary Sears has been tireless.
There seems to be no let up to his en-
thusiasm or energy. He has other in
dustries in correspondence with him
now seeking to better themselves by
change of location and he hopes to
land some of them. The contract with
the Capital Skirt Company contains
penalty clause FORGETTING $4,000 in case
the contract is not carried out, so it is
absolutely certain that the city has
gained another new factory.

The subscriptions to the new st.
Thomas hospital fund are being handed
in to Rev. Father Lehman daily and
today the fund is announced to have
arrived at the $1,000 mark. This makes

As a result of their entertainment in
the basement of ST. Mary's church
Wednesday evening the members of the
Young Ladies' Sodality of the church
see their way clear to furnish one of the
hospital rooms. At least a fund has
been created for that purpose and with
the accumulations that will be made
from the plans of the society there will
be a sufficient amount raised when the
time arrives to put it into the appur-
tenances of the new building The en-
rertainment of the sodality Wednesday
evening was in the nature of spin
sters' convention, in which the different
characters were taken by members OF
the society. The latter portion of the
program was devoted to musical and
literary numbers. The entertainment
was an immense success and was very
largely attended, the seating capacity
OF the basement being inadequate after
200 extra chairs had been supplied. The
young ladies netted In the neighborhood
of $40 as a nucleus for their hospital

MarshaIItown Defeated in Series Of
Match Games at Cedar Rapids.
The Marshalltown bowling team met
defeat Wednesday afternoon and eve
ming in the series of match games with
the Boone club at the Eclipse alleys in
Cedar Rapids. Owing to circumstances
surrounding the Cedar Rapids alleys
each team is greatly disappointed at
the result which was far from satisfac-
tory, either to the victors or the losing
team. Boone won by 1913 pins, defeat :.
ing the players from this city in every
game but the last. Three of the games
were played in the afternoon, result
ing in Boone leading by sixty-s seven
pins. Altho not badly beaten in any of
the games, excepting one, the local
players were unable to make much
Roadway against the odds.
The showing Inade by any of the
bowlers was not satisfactory, the high
score being 1913 pins made by Moore,
of the Boone team Marshalltown's
high man was Oleson, at 1875. The
Boone men announced themselves
openly as being thoroughly disguised
with the games and the conditions un-
der which they had to play. No matter
how good balls were delivered 1t was
next to an imposs ibility to obtain a
strike. Most Of the players give their.

BOIL DRINKING WATER.
Turning in of River Water in Main
Flushing Makes Water Unsafe.


Flushing Makes Water Unsafe.
Consumers of city water should, as
matter of precaution against fever
infection, continue to boil all water
used for drinking purposes for some
time to come. The water from the
river was turned into the pipes yes
terday for short time when the mains
were flushed and as a result will con-
tinue to contaminate the drinking
water from the wells. Those who have
studied the situation from medical
standpoint claim that infection will
remain in the pipes for months, and
that one drop of the contaminated
water, in glass of water otherwise
free from any poisonous organic mat
ter, will carry fever germs and pro-
duce infection in the human system
that is susceptible to the disease.
1t was considered necessary Wednes-
day, in flushing the mains, to turn in
the river water, in order that the
work could be accomplished in
shorter time. AS result, to be Oh
the safe side, it would be well to take
every precaution possible, even tho
1t may cause some little extra trouble
and boil all drinking water. When the
twenty new wells are sunk the supply
will be sufficient to allow main flush

GEO. R. MORSE RESIGNS

Of the Iowa Central on

He Was Always Influential in
Defending the Rights Of

Roads Plans.

| Word YVES received from New Yorl

rendered to President Hawley. of the
Iowa Central his resignation as treas
i. No explanation is given of the rea-
sons for this move, but 1t is surmisec
/ that it means the withdrawal of the
Morse interests in Iowa Central stock
After fifteen years connection with

committee OF the Central Iowa railway
from 1892 to 1898. secretary and treas
urer of the Iowa Central Railway Com
| pany, from 1898 to 1900, vice president
and treasurer, and latterly as treasurer
of the company, Mr.. Morse retires from
official connection with the company OH
May 1, to assume the presidency of the
Guardian Trust Company, of New
York, recently formed with capital of
$1,000.000, very flattering opportunity
of allying himself with his former BUSH
ness of banking.
For a number of years, under Mr..
Sage's regime as president, Mr.. Morse
was practically the head of the proper
ty at the eastern end, as Mr.. Sage gave
very little attention to it. 1t was largely
thru his efforts that the property was
improved and built up. Mr.. Morse also
strongly opposed the removal of the
general offices and shops from Mar
shalltown, altho the attempt was sew
eral times made, and stood for the vest
ed interests and rights of the people of
Marshalltown who many years ago had
put their money into the property with
the assurance that the shops should be-
a permanence, and that in view of what
they had done the people OF Marshall
town had right to expect that their
interests would be subserved.
The last effort to remove the general
offices to Peoria and the shops to Os-
kaloosa was made under T. e. Clark's
management, and in view of the fact
that President Kimball was absent in
California, it was largely thru Mr..
Morse's exertions with the board III
New York that no change took place.
Socially Mr.. Morse had made himself
so popular III this city that his many
friends will greatly regret the sever
ance of his official connection with the
road for this reason aside from any ma
torial interest they might have in Mr..
Morse remaining in a position Of influ-
ence. Iowa Central business affairs
often brought Mr.. Morse to this city
for brief visits and the prospect of ter
minattng these relations will be a mat
ter of regret TO many.
Mr.. S. Seaman Jones, who, has been
connected with the property for ten
years. for the last four years as it's sec
rotary, has also resigned to go with Mr..
Morse and assume the treasurership Of
the Guardian Trust Company.
