A DISSATISFIED VISITOR.
Came to MarshaIltown to Spend

\ tie Came to MarShalltoWn to Spehd
the 18th and Was Disappointed.
The editor of the Tama County News
is disposed to criticize the city of Mar
shalltown for his failure to enjoy the
Fourth here. He we'll says the city
had no entertainment to offer. The
city itself did not profess to offer a
celebration That was the work of the
Carnival Company. The News plant
is as follows:
1T would be difficult to get together
several thousand more disguised people
than the throng that visited MARSHALL
town, Iowa, on Friday July 4. 1902.
That city owes an apology to about
10000 people. men. women and children,
for having played Il confidence game
upon them on the glorious anniversary
of Americas independence. Great
things We're promised and With confi7
of people went We should judge that
not less than a thousand people from
Tama left their peaceful homes anG
Went over to Marshalltown to get
skinned Nine hundred and ninety
nine cat leasD of them got it. We We're
the other one. The city had no enter
tanment to offer. This criticism doeS
not apply to individuals or firms who
looked to the comfort of personal
friends and patrons. The impression
seems to have been an erroneous one
but it had general circulation that Mar
shalltown was going to celebrate in
truly royal style. But there WAS alb
solutely nothing doing" A close cor
poration, organized under the style OF
q carnival company. had loaded up
circular enclosure in the old fair
grounds With fakes and skin games OF
every conceivable kind and character
and aggregation that was a disgrace to
the soil 1t camped on, and when by
slaring advertisement and haring
poster the surrounding population for
q score or so of miles had been in
Niesled into paying an admission to the
enclosure they, the people, We're plucked
at every turn.
The much advertised $4,000 display
of fireworks took place between 1920
p m. and midnight and it cost about
so cents per capita to get a glimpse of
Its Illuminating grandeur. AS matter
of fact it probably cost $3.50 and the
carnival company must have reaped
about $1,000, profit in its display. The
whole affair from start to finish was
a roast, Q roast that few of the visitors
appreciated"

TAKES PECULIAR TURN
Report of Examination OF Mrs.
Lambert's Internal Organs
Received.
No Traces of Poison Found to
Exist .-- Most Inexplaina-
BILE Phase.
The DOG. Living by Her Side
The Dog, Lying by Her Side
When Found Dead, Killed by
Morphine.

One of the most peculiar phases in
! the supposed Lambert murder case de-
veloped this morning when Coroner f.
/ II. Lierle received from Des Mones the
report of Chemist Floyd Davis on the
examination of the internal organs of
the late Mrs. Maude Stubbs Lambert,
whose sensational death from supposed
| poisoning occurred in this city a few
weeks ago.
The report of Chemist Davis is in ef-
feet that there is absolutely no tract of
poison whatever either in the wornans
stomach, liver, kidneys. heart or other
internal organs sent him to be ANAL
yzed.
Coroner Lierle, County Attorney
Stone and the sheriff's officers are
greatly puzzled over the findings of the
chemist, and while they have been a
quandary over the affair since it's oc-
currence they are now up against a
more peculiar mystery than ever. AS
WAS the case when the woman's death
occurred the same trouble is in their
way-the dog. When Mrs. Lambert
died one theory after another could be
advanced and reasoned out without
much difficulty, but every time one was
attempted the dead dog stared them in
the face and its death could not be ex-
planned. The body of the dog was first
sent to Des Moines for an examination,
and the report returned showed traces
of morphine poisoning, Morphine was
the probable cause as given by Coroner
Lierle when the woman died, as his pri-
waite opinion The examination of the
dog went to prove that he was right,
and now comes the second report
showing no morphine or any other form
of poisoning in the woman, and every
thing is exploded.
Ii the dog had been found dead at
any other place than on the same bed
With the woman, when both were alive
and we'll three hours before when the
woman's husband left home, it might
be reasoned that their deaths We're due
to different causes. From the bodies
Of each the manner of death appeared
the same, even to the frothing at the
mouths and the position of the tongues.
The only thing that is left that will
account for the woman's death, and
that by morphine tho the examination
does not show it, is that perhaps such
u small quantity was taken that, in
4 human being. no traces were left.
Instances have been known where
deaths We're caused from morphine and
yet no traces We're noticeable unless
examinations We're made Immediately
after death.
Will Hold an Inquest.
Coroner Lierle will conduct an in
quest over the woman's remains to-
morrow morning, presumably about
8 o'clock, in the sheriff's office. Wit
nesses have been suhpoenaed this af-
ternoon and it is hoped that by their
examination some additional light may |
be thrown on the case.
