FORTY NEW ENGINES.
Great Western Places an Order for New
Passenger and Freight Locomotives.

Great Western Places an Order for New
Passenger and Freight Locomotives.
The Chicago Great Western Railway
Company has ordered from the Brooks
branch of the American Locomotive
Works, at Dunkirk, N. Y. twenty new
passenger locomotives and as many
freight. The contracts call for delivery
in January and February, and when
the new engines are added to the
equipment of the company there will
be total of 312 locomotives, compared
with I'll year ago. The new engines
are designed for service on all the di-
visions of the system. With that addi-
ton the company will be in fair condi-
ton so far as motive power Is
concerned until the opening of the
Fort Dodge and Omaha extension, and
the consequent increase of business
renders more power necessary.
The new passenger engines are of the
Lake Shore type, piston valve and wide
firebox. That type of engine has ten
wheels-a pony truck, three drivers on
a side and trailer. The drivers are
sixty eight inch, the truck wheels
thirty-two and the trailers forty-two.
Ine WEIGHT Oh lHsA dFlFeTS Is IiU,oUo ana
the whole engine weighs 100000 pounds.
They are similar to the 1SO-class en-
CINE, but are lighter. They are in
tended for local or limited use.
The freight engines are of the Prai-
RE type, Brooks tandem, and are SINH
lar in all respects to the twenty engines
received by the Chicago Great Western
last summer. The new engines will
have the Pyle national electric head
lights. The engines will cost from
$4,000 to $4,000 each.

The rural lecture courses have been

negotiations for the attractions having
all been closed.
The lecture associations Of LeGrand
and Ldscomb have arranged for speak
ers and entertainments. LeGrand has
five numbers, four lectures and one en-
u dnment, while Liscomb has four,
two of which are lectures.
The Lisconb course began Monday

people present at the Christian church
to listen to DR.. George Henley, of Chi
cago, lecture on Twill it Take" The
next will be on Dec. 6, when the Dixie
Jubilee Singers will appear for an en-
tertainment. The remaing two are

NOR" The Almondbury Hand Bell

Street Railway Company Will
Contest Legality Of Paving
Levy in the Courts.
BOND FILED TO COVER COSTS
Notice of Appeal Will be Served on
Mayor Today or Tomorrow by the
Company's Attorney - Two Import
ant Points to be Contested - Prop
erty Owners May Also Appeal.

The Marshalltown Light, Power ana
Railway Company will fight the pay
ing assessment levied against theif
property for the North Third street
having done between the rails OF the
company's line and one foot on eaeii
side An attorney of this city TO-DAY
filed a bond for $500 with the city 10
cover the costs in the case, and stated
he had a notice Of appeal prepares
and would serve the same on the city
today or tomorrow. The amount IN
volved in the paving assessment II
something over $4,000. The case VIII
probably be holly contested, ana VIII
doubtless be appealed to the supreme
court. regardless of how it may be de-
cided in the lower court.
The contest will probably center
around two important points. They
are both Embodied in the ordinance
that was passed by the city couch az
the time the present franchise was
granted the railway company. Inc
company holds that the ordinance
which granted them the franchise :is
q contract between the city and the
street railway, and that g. clause In
that ordinance states that the com
pany shall be released from all assess
ments for paving the streets along the
line OF said company. While the city
will admit that the clause referred to
does exist in the ordinance IN which II
is embodied, they will contend that 1t
is invalid, and has been SO ever since
it was made part of the ordinance.
The reason given is that the city coun
ell went beyond their corporate au-
thority when the. same was passed.
They also will aver that the city coun-
Gil passing this ordinance cantrary to
federal statutes covering such cases.
Under the law the company has ten
days after notice of assessment in
which to appeal.
1t is thought probable that owners
of property on North Third street will
also appeal, as an attorney who Is
several of them has re-
ce ntly made inquiry regarding the
amount of bond required.

Thousands of Women Suffer and
Many Die, Owing to False
Treatment
Paine's Celery
Compound
Never Fails to Danish Disease
and Re-establish Lasting
Health

Thousands of women are kept IN
sickness for months and years owing
to false treatment and the use ofworth-
less medicines. and we are inclined to
believe that Milton thought of this class
of almost dying women when he said:
1.-THE angelic guards assembled,
mute and sad
The common sense treatment of today
for weak. run down and suffering wom-
en- is Yaine's Celery Compound. This
marvellous medicine is spoken of in
every part of the civilized world, and
men and women of all classes derive
new life from its use. M. Elizabeth
Messick. Marietta, Ohio, writes about
her rescue from a low condition OF
physical weakness; she says:
Eight years ago was most success
fully operated on for an ovarian tumor,
weighing twenty-five pounds. After
the operation tonics and foods were
used In vain to bring back strength.
In some way Paine's Celery Compound
came to the rescue and it really seemed
that four doses produced a change. !
was then sixteen years old ana mao
three years more of school work. Your
compound is the only thing that have
to thank for strength during the last
three years at school. Now, l am
eight months of each year in the
South in home missionary work among
The freedmen. This last spring would
have had to give up, but one bottle of
Paine's Celery Compound made me
over again. My sister cured her &C.
zema with Paine's Celery Compound.
We recommend 1t to all,

Mr.. S. A. Walsworth who for many
years was one of the we'll known resi-
dents of this city. Mr.. Walsworth re-

prior to July 1901, when he moved to

AMUSEM ENTS.
"The Village Postmaster" Treat in
Depletion Of Rural Simplicity.

j. Wesley Rosenquest's large COM
pany, which has scored eminent sue
cesses in extended runs in New York.
Boston and Chicago during the past
two seasons, appeared at the Odeon
Monday night in THE Village Postmas-
ter by Alice e. Ives and Jerome ii.
Eddy The story of the play, while fol-
lowing somewhat along the stereotyped
lines of the melo- drama, is prettily told,
and while there is no attempt made at
artistic work on the part of the play
ers, one finds in '"The Village Postmas-
ter much to admire. 1t is one of those
plays that appeals to the better nature
of man, brings him from the hustle of
daily toll in the city to the country,
where the simplicities of rural life are
told by nature. The scene is laid in
New Hampshire, and the characters
deal with people who make their daily
life their religion, and live UP to the
high standard set by their forefathers.
OF course there's a villain, but he is
not of the deep dyed sort. Politics and
love enter into the story, but neither
is overdone. The scenic and mechan-
Teal effects are true to life. Real rain
falls during the thunder shower; real
chickens and pigs appear in the barn
yard scenes, and real straw is used on
threshing day. "The Village Postmas-
ter is all, and more. than was expected
of 1t.
