benefit to tn travelling public, has been
started. The tickets to Lynn canal points
have already been sold at $3.50 and IS, first
and second class respectively. The prevailing
tariff has been $50 and 500. The Pacific clip
per lines steamer Santa Ann on the Lynn

coal, feed and flour is the greatest in
central Iowa, and the new headquar-
ters a model of convenience and capa-
city.
No one will grudge Mr.. Weber his
success. He has earned it by strict at
tentlon to the details of his business
and by fair and honest dealing. He
makes good his guarantees, sells what
he processes to sell, and delivers 1000
pounds for q ton. While he will still
retain for time as q branch the store
at JOG South Center street, the big
sheds and the main business will be
located al 500 South Center convenient
to the railroad tracks. Here he will be
pleased to meet all his old friends and
customers and make new ones. Mr..
James Cahill, a Well-knOWn and high
" trustworthy young man. has been
made manager of the coal department
and will be pleased to quote prices on
hard and soft coal, wood, flour. feed of
all kinds low grade fiours in fact every
article carried and handled by the
most up to- date store in Iowa. Weber's
prices make customers and the quality
of his goods keeps them. Try the old
and reliable feed and coal dealer in his
new location.

BUYS IHE FLAI|R(|N'
Henry Weber Purchases the
Kelley Property on South
Center Street.
Will Make the Finest Coal and
Flour Headquarters in
Iowa.
Weber's Success Due to Capac.
ity and the Strictest Bust.
ness Integrity.

The old fiat iron, which has sheltered
Marshalltown put together, will shelter
them no more. This property, located
at SOP South Center street, has been
purchased by Henry Weber and is be-
ing converted into the most commodi-
Gus and convenient quarters for a high
class flour, feed, wood and coal bust
ness in the west. Large new offices,
new coal and wood sheds and a flour
and feed warehouse are being or have
been erected Special tracks will be
laid in a network which will reach
every shed and warehouse. The new
office on Center street will be fitted
with new team scales of the latest and
most approved pattern. There will be
a long line of sheds and warehouses,
each with special railroad facilities in
which to store the immense stock of
coal, wood, straw, hay, flour and feed.
The old boarding house is being turned
about and will be handsomely fitted up
as additional warehouse room, and the
upper story finished into living rooms,
where one of the employees will live and
look after the premises after business
hours. Taken all in all, Mr.. Weber is
making one of the most convenient
places of business of this nature in
Iowa, and far the largest in this city.
AS convenience in handling and ability
to cary stock means lower cost to the
dealer it is easy to see the great adj
vantage which will accrue not only to
Mr.. Weber but to his customers from
the change he is making. He will be
able to buy cheaper and give his eli
entele the same advantage.
To build business from small be-
ginning in remote location upon a
residence street into the largest of it's
kind in the city speaks we'll not only
for the business ability of the man who
accomplishes it, but for the integrity
of his business methods as well. The
growth of Mr.. Weber's business has
been almost phenomenal, considering
conditions. Less than four years ago
he was in small way on South Fifth
street N residence district. Increas-
ing business forced him to locate more
centrally, and he secured the premises
at LOG South Center street. Now the
necessity of greater facilities for the
conduct of his retail and wholesale
business has forced another move to
the larger and more convenient quar-
tiers at 500 South Center street. The
lot on Fifth street where he started is
covered with an elegant residence, one
OF the best in the city. Instead of a
single horse hitched to a democrat
wagon, s450 team of big black horses
does it's part of the work of delivery.

LOCAL COMMENT.

1t is now up to the weather man
for the success of the carnival
There is talk Of changing the name
of Center street. a suggestion to that
effect was made at a meeting OF bust
ness men the other evening, and the
more it is talked the more favor it ap-
pears to gain. The idea is that there
should be no Center street, because
center signifies that there is division.
Marshalltown wants no division In it's
business interests; no east or west
end.
The judicial convention at Belle
Plaine, while not at all surprising in
its results, was rather much of happy
surprise in some of its phases. Tama
county rolled into line with her sisters
Marshall and Benton worked for the
two leading candidates, and showed
on every hand that she was anxious
to have harmony prevail. AS a re-
suit Tama county has more friends
in the district than ever before.
One of the largest strides the city
has taken towards metropolitanism was
realized this week with the installation
of portion of the paid fire department.

| Further particulars from Davenport,
concerning the suicide of Mrs. Mildred
Edgmgton Pleiffer formerly Of this
city, at Rock Rock Island, ILL.,, go to
show th;lt the young woman took her
! life because of having quarreled With
her husband. The girl swallowed o
large amount of the poison and died
shortly after reaching the hospital In
an ambulance.
Tie Davenport Times of Friday eve
ming, contains the following about the
affair:
1.-THE dead girl was married on the
afternoon of June 20, by Police Magis-
trate Johnson at the nome of Mr.. and
Mrs. Cowden, on Thirteenth street and
Third avenue, to John T. Pfeiffer, who
makes his living as piano player. The
couple roomed above the Missouri sa-
loon as the husband played the piano in
the saloon below. Last night Pfeiffer
He left his wife in Rock Island.
About o'clock the husband received
telephone message from his wife in
which she asked him If she could join
him. The husband told her to remain
at home as that was the best place for
her About II o'clock the husband was
surprised to see his wife enter the sa-
loon in which he was playing. He prompt
ly told her to return to Rock Island.
She did as she was told. 1t appears that
this approach had preyed on her mind
considerably and when the husband re-
turned at midnight he found his wife
and the two retired to their room up
stairs. They sat on the bed awhile and
the conversation drifted into wrangle
and hot words were exchanged. The
husband went to a separate room and
retired for the night.
About o'clock he says he was
awakened by Thomas Carney, the night
bartender, who told him that his wife
had taken poison. Pfeiffer arose from
his bed and walked to the room. which
Carney occupied and found his wife
Frustrated on the bed. Carney tells that
she took the drug in her own room and
ran to his room and fell in swoon on
the bed. Drs. Eyster and Sala were
called and the girl was taken to ST.
Anthonys hospital. The trip to the
hospital was made in a hurry as the girl
seemed to be dying rapidly. She had
been in the hospital not more than fiji
teen minutes when the denied result of
her desperate attempt to end her life
became a reality.

How often does 1t fall to the lot OF

the Rev. II. j. Huston, pastor of ths
Methodist Episcopal church in Eliza

A Most Peculiar Case May Rival

Mystery.

What may develop into case of
murder. and one that will rival in its
mysterious surroundings the celebrated
Anna Wiese affair. was reported to the
sheriff's office Friday afternoon at 4
o'clock by Coroner +. p. Lierle, who was
called to investigate the death of Mrs.
Silas Lambert, of 905 Leverton street.
Mrs. Lambert was apparently as well
as ever when last seen alive by her
husband and upon the return of the
latter from the city, a few hours later,
was in the throes of the death struggle
and gasptng her last. The family dog,
a puppy of three months, was lying by
Mrs. Lambert's side, alsotdead. mdica-
tions point strongly to poisoning, yet
by just what agency it is not known to
certainty. The probabilities are,
however, that morphine, or perhaps CO.
caine, was used.
Finds Wife Dying.
Mrs Lambert was only % years of
age and prior to her marriage to Mr..
Maude Callies. Her maiden name was
Stubs, sister to Mr.. w. w. Stubs, of
this city. Mr.. and Mrs. Lambert moved
to the Leverton street property only
last Tuesday, coming to the city from
the Joe Haines farm. eight miles east Of
town, where Lambert worked.
The husband and wife arose at about
the usual time Friday. morning, and
partook of a breakfast composed of
bread, goosesberry sauce, potatoes and
coffee. Mr.. Lambert says his wife was
apparently as well as usual when he
left her, an hour or so later, and wanted
him to be at home at II for dinner. He
described her appearance as being hap
Ply and contented, and in the best OF
spirits. Incidentally ne states that their
married life had always been happy.
When he left home she had already be-
gun the preparations for dinner, by
placing chicken TO boil on the gasoline
stove. Mr.. Lambert came to the city to
do his trading, and upon his return
went Immediately to the room in which
the stove was contained, and in which
was also a bed, the family belongings
not having been yet arranged as
planned. He noticed his wife lying on

Officers Without Clues.

AS yet the officers are without any
tangible clues on which to work. Much
will depend upon what is learned after
the examination of the dog. All are
confident that there has been foul play
somewhere, but just where to locate
the responsibility is another question.
w. w. Stubs, brother of the deceased,
is also of the opinion that his sister
was murdered
Mrs. Lambert has lived here nearly
all her life. She was married when
very young to Edward Callies, of Sioux
City, and lived there some little time.
Her married life did not prove happy
and she secured a divorce from her
husband. 1t is understood Callies now
lives in Titonka.
Other relatives of the young woman
are Mrs. George Franklin, of this city,
sister, and brother, Delbert Stubs.
of Omaha. Lambert has also been
married before, altho now only about
26 years of age His father, j. H. Lam
bert, lives in MonteZuma.
The funeral will be held from the
family home Sunday afternoon at 3
o'clock. conducted by Rev. S. Skogs-

other of creosote and some sulphate of
copper. Each was undisturbed. A
thorough search of the entire house by
the officers failed to find anything that
would throw light upon what had been
administered the woman.
Do Not Think It Suicide.
The sheriff's officers, Coroner Lierle
or County Attorney Stone, who inves-
tigated the premises, are not of the
opinion that the case was one of sui
eide on the part of Mrs. Lambert
Neither do they think that the gasoline
stove has any bearing on the case. If
Mrs. Lambert had premeditated suicide
it is not likely that she would have gone
to the trouble of preparing dinner, and
the chicken that she had put to cook
was nearly done when her husband re-
turned. Another question they ask is
that If she had committed suicide, what
would be her object in killing the dog?
Concerning the gasoline stove the Off
GERS do not think that there was
enough gasoline in the stove to gene

in the can, and that from that supper
the evening before and breakfast Fri
