LOCAL COMMENT.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Some of those who have not studied
the conditions are asking why North
Third street should be paved. The
property owners who have headed the
movement to secure the improvement
of this thoroughfare appreciate the
conditions. Third street is narrow-so
narrow, in fact, that it Is with diff
Guilty that teams pass on the same side
of the street car track. AT most points
it is almost impossible for teams to
cross the track from one side of the
street to the other. The heavy grade
and lack of proper curbing and gutter
ing causes heavy rains to wash the
roadway and keep 1t in poor condition
the entire year. Without paving the
cost of maintaining respectable road
way would be great Owing to the few
cross streets and the distance between
the intersecting streets team once on
the street his difficulty in getting off.

The conditions referred tc are the rea-
sons the property owners desire the
improvement made.
One of the members of the depart
ment made the prediction during the
fire at the Russell home that one-half
the fires in this city in the future will
owe their origin to effective electric
wiring. The need of thorough inspec-
Itself more and more on the public
mind.
If the conditions are as Chairman
Greene, of the water committee, says,
and that the addition Of twenty wells
to the supply will not furnish enough
water to flush the city mains, the
quicker the council takes up the stor-
age reservoir question the greater will
be the health OF the city and the sat-
isfaction Of the people. A storage res
ervoir in connection with the present
system was contemplated for the flu
ture, when the we'll system was adop-
ted. With the installation of reservoirs,
however, there would be little necessity
for flushing the mains, for the reason
that the iron sediment in the water
would be removed by aeration. Water

its use even once or twice a year.
So
The business men of Gilman have
come to the conclusion that the trading
stamp does not possess the merits
claimed for it as an advertising scheme,
and are willing to let go of their supply
at the earliest opportunity. They have
Joined in an agreement to issue no more
stamps after June /, when no
more premiums will be offered.

The action of several patrons of the
Third ward school on LIST Tuesday
contradicts the claim of the new men,
bers of the board that the people of
that section of the city do not demand
a new building. During the gale of
Tuesday parents summoned their chill
dren from the school, believing the
building would be unsafe If the force
of the wind increased.
Company L of the Iowa quart, To-
Gated at Oelwein, has been mustered
out of the service. The company -four
ished for time but was handicapped
because 1t lacked good armory, and
that is assigned as the chief reason for
disbanding. Company H Of this city
may have the same experience unless
the citizens become interested and as
sist the boys in procuring company
home.
All that will be required to start
stampede of building improvements
around the court house square is the
erection of one or two buildings similar
to that contemplated by Mr.. Arney,
near the corner of Church and Center
streets, and the Masonic temple to be
erected in the not distant future.
One Of the dreams INDUCED by the
people of F't Dodge contains sugges-
'tion to Marshalltown residents 1t is
announced that negotiations are about
completed for the erection of a large
hotel building by the Elks' lodge. The
hotel will contain luxurious quarters
for the lodge on the upper floor. The
Elks might join forces with the Ma
sons and erect a magnificent building of
this kind in Marshalltown. The thought
of four story building with separate
rooms for the two lodges on the fourth
floor and modern hotel occupying the
three floors below is almost too vision
airy for serious discussion but it is
practicable nevertheless.
The human stomach is subject to
many distressing affections, like
cramps, cholera morbus and dysentery,
which, if neglected, are dangerous The
best and quickest remedy is Perry Da-
Wis Painkiller. Look out for substi-
tutes. 25 cents and 80 cents.
She is fine girl. quite brilliant,
hear. / understand that she has just
completed course of Rocky Mountain
Tea. That accounts for her brilliancy.
