Local Capitalists Figuring on
Making Marshalltown In
terurban Center.
BUILD LINE TO GRUMPY CENTER
Electric Road in View That VIII Tap
Ferguson, Conrad and Grundy Gen.
ter, Giving MarshaIltown Direct Con-
nection with Milwaukee and Rock
IsIand-Letters Being Prepared.

Local capitalists have under contem-
nlation gigantic scheme that will, if it
materializes. and those who have it in
charge claim 1t will, make Marshall
town an interurban center and give this
city a direct connection with two addi-
tional trunk lines of railway, the Chi
cago. Milwaukee & st. Paul. and the
Rock Island. The proposed new cleo
trio line will run from this city to
Grundy Center, tapping Ferguson and
Conrad.
Letters to prominent farmers living
along the proposed right-of-way are
already being prepared, in which are
asked certain questions, the answer of
which will have an effect on the future
action of the promoters. 1t is the idea
of those having it in charge to call a
meeting, after the sentiment of the far
mers is secured, to be held in this city.
Plans will then be talked over at more
length and detail and If there is found
special election viii be asked for to
vote a tax for the new line. Bonds will
then be sold and the work of building
begun
The building of the proposed line
would have beneficial effect upon the
farmers living along the right of-way,
as well as this city and Grundy Center,
the terminals. Farmers could have the
advantage of hourly trains to get to
market with their produce, on days
when travelling overland would be very
disagreeable. The saving in time would
also be a great advantage, and the cost
of transportation for produce would be
minimized The same system, in all
probability, now in vogue In the east,
would be established here. One train,
at a certain schedule time each day.,
would carry an extra baggage car Tor
farmers produce, which would be
transported free of charge when ac-
companied by it's owner, paying regular
fare.
1t is estimated that the proposed line
will cost In the neighborhood of $780,
600. Local capitalists are anxious to
take stock, and it is presumed that
number of the farmers In the districts
that the road would tap will likewise
lend financial aid. The Milwaukee rail-
road is deeply interested in the venture,
as 1t has always been anxious to get
into Marshalltown in some way. The
Rock Island people, while they have not
as yet been approached on the subject
will likely be anxious to see the project
carried thru. The connection afforded
by the two trunk line roads will I'M
doubtedly have a tendency to create a
new freight rate for Chicago business,
as there would be two more competing
lines that would be anxious to secure
share of the heavy traffic to this city
from the east.
Inquiries have already been made
looking toward the cost of running the
preliminary survey.

Speak a Good Word.

Here is one thing that is being passed around by the newspapers that is applicable to some people in this town: "There is no excuse for a man living in a town if he doesn't like it. If you have no word of commendation to say for your town, its institutions or its people, emigrate. You won'tstop the course of events by going away, neither will your carping criticisms cut any figure if you remain. The church bells will have the same musical ring, the dogs will play just as frisky, and the pure air and bright sunshine will have the same health giving properties. Speak a good word of your neighbors if you can; if you can't, don't everlastingly en- large on their faults. If you have become thoroughly sour and dis gusted and cannot see any good in your town, move away; go some where where things suit you.

In many instances attacks of cholera morbus terminate fatally before medicine can be procured or a physician summoned. The safe way is to keep at hand a reliable medicine for use in such cases. For this purpose there is nothing so sure as Chamberlain's Collie, Chol- era and Diarrhoea Remedy. w. E.
