connected, being lured by the enticing
$40 per" offered himshim by Phlsa-
Gelphia quartet. Hodges so he claims.
Informed Mr.. Gideon. who is part owner
of the show, that he desired to sever
two weeks ago. He also claims that
Gideon did not want to lose his tenor
robusto and used every effort to retain
him in his chorus. Hodges, however,
accepted the offer of the eastern party
and the man forwarded him an order
for a ticket here this morning. Another
negro. claiming to be Walter Hodges,
and bringing IL telegram. came TO the
ticket Office at the union station and
secured the ticket there in waiting for
Walter Hodges. 1t appears, however,
that the Walter Hodges who secured
the ticket was not the one for whom 1t
Was intended and when the rightfui
owner appeared and requested the tick
ct he was Informed that it had been
already given to one Walter Hodges. As
ali "coons" looked alike to the ticket
agent he presumed it was the right one
to whom he delivered the transporta-
ton. Hodges. the tenor, began at once
= search for his double and solicited the
aid OF the police. He states that 1t is a
scheme of Mr.. Gideon to keep him with
the company. as he at present has not
sufficient funds to pay his way to Phil

to PASS as Walter HODGES. The man

carol his STORY of the Rose" While the
rrincely salary offered him will go to

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
LOCAL COMMENT.

MarshalltoWn'S new water works Or
dinance will probably be brought be-
fore the council at the special meet
ing to be held Monday night. This ia
one of the most important measures
| that has been attempted for some time,
and the preparation for it has covered
many weeks of toll on the part Of menu
bers of the committee and City Clerk
Egermayer, who have gathered facts
concerning rates from fifty-six cities
and towns in Iowa, Minnesota, Illinois
and Nebraska. The idea is to obtain
an equitable rate under the law for
water services Of all kinds, and partic-
ularly under the meter system which
is the only business-like way to sell
water. Investigations have also been
made as to the cost Of pumping water,
and it will be clearly shown that many
consumers have been getting water at
too low rate.
Last year the city pumped 513.345,000
gallons of water, and it has been es
ltimated that at least one-half of it was
wasted by consumers under the flat
rate system that is in vogue. If the
entire service of the city is metered
lit is thought that this great loss car
be saved and as a consequence better
water can be furnished. 1t will not be
necessary, in times of fire and wher
the mains are flushed, to turn in the
water from the river at all, and there
will not be days when the water will!
be muddy because of these necessities.
If the consumers could realize the adj
wa mi TIA rGS n hc
be afforded generally, there would be no
opposition to it at ALL it is thought. For
an example, one consumer has been
paying SIS per year on the flat rate,
and during the past year he has had
a meter installed. His water cost hin;
So last year and under the new rate
that is now proposed he will be fur
nished the service at about $40. 1t Is
a saving worth considering. TO some
of the smaller consumers, who are
paying 50 Il year for their services,
there may be Il slight advance, for
the committee is absolutely sure of
one thing. and that is that where the
flat rate is in force water is wasted.
If meter is placed on each service
consumers will be careful about al
lowing water to run all night during
the summer, or half hour at different
times of the day when five minutes
would accomplish the same results. The
water committee firmly believes that
if consumers would be careful about
the waste Marshalltown's city water
would not be excelled anywhere, and
there would be plenty in the present
wells to supply all demands
Another matter that will probably
come up Monday night is the packing
house difficulty. 1t is another import
ant question Marshalltown has never
done very much for the packing house.
which Is one of its leading industries,
and the time has now come when It

Score Of 8 to 2.

This city was threatened Friday with
played in the far east by the two great
leagues, the American and National, but
weather conditions prevented. Early in
the day the weather man promised tot
be good, but he failed shortly after noon
and drizzing rain set in, continuing
all afternoon. The game, If it may be
called such, was pulled off nevertheless
as scheduled, the National team Win
ming by the score of 3 to 2. The eXhl-
tition was, however, far from satisfac-
tory to large percentage of the spec
tators and many felt that they mad
been found easy in attending.
So far as the game itself was con-
cerned there is but little to say. Some
of the playing was good, but much of 1t
was Indifferent and it lacked the snap
sufficient to interest the fans in the
outcome. For much of this. however,
the weather was to blame. The game
was called at 2:3O instead of o'clock,
as advertised. owing to the rain, the
players desiring to give the spectators
as much of their moneys worth as 1T

Henry Ohlsen, of State Center, Said to
Have Settled With Northwestern for
Sons Death.
Henry Ohlsen, wealthy farmer liv
ing near State Center, is said to have
accepted a settlement with the North
western railwawgor the accidental
death of his son. August. who was
killed by driving .nto fast mail No. 10,
at crossing in State Center, on the
morning of Sept. 90. Ferdinand Oil!
sen, August's brother, was injured In
the same accident, having had his leg
broken. While the sum seems very
small, in comparison to the amount
usually paid by railroad companies l.:
event of death. it is supposed that
the company feels confident that it
can prove that Ohlsen's death was du.
to his own carelessness, and not to
any negligence on the part Of the rail
way company or its employees. The
senior Ol1lsen, it is thought, realize !
this, and would rather take $1,000 than
to sue for a larger sum, and run tia
risk Of peing beaten. On the othar
hand the railroad company would rath-
err pay a nominal sum than to go to the
trouble of standing suit.
