Letter to Mr.. N. S. kctehum, Marshall
town Iowa.

Dear Sir: The annoyance caused
by short measure In paints that are
sold by the gallon" is worse than the
loss by the shortage. Misled by the
makers Misrepresentation as to how
far gallon will go, you buy too little
of every sort. and must send for more
in the midst of the work.
Besides, short measure man Is,
doubtless. also cheater in other ways:
mis- paint is likely to cover perhaps
two thirds as much as he says. This
also you find out while the work is
going on, and the painter must wait
while you send for more.
Even this Is not all, nor the worst
If it wears half as long as he says. you
are lucky. You have the whole Job to
do again in year or two: and per-
haps your paint is not really good for
that short time.
One law Of lying Is that liars lie
most where it's hardest to catch 'em
Another is that liar lies whenever he
can.
Look out for short measure. It In
cludes all the rest. Devoe Ready Paint
is full-measure and durable.
Yours truly.

P. S. Devoe Ready Paint can BIO
found at C. j. Lander's.

The sheriff's office was notified of the

characters seen, other than the arrest
made in this city, which is not looked
upon as providing any clue. Sher-

THOUGHT They Had Clue.

The Green Mountain people thought
they might possibly have a clue in the
visit of a man to the S. p. Gettle board
ing house. at about 9 o'clock. The man
appeared to be Intoxicated and talked
Iincoherently. He wanted to get lodging
until the train left for the south this
morning. but was told that he could
not be provided with Accommodations.
He said he lived at 20S West Church
street, Marshaltown. 1t has developed
late today that the man was George
+. Barstow. A Marshalltown travelling
man Is authority for the statement that
Barstow was seen on passenger train
No. Q, on the Great Western, due to
arrive in this city at 7:10 Thursday
evening. He had no money with which
to pay his fare farther than Green
Mountain. and was put off the train
at that place.
1t appears that Barstow fell into
the hands of the robbers and as a re-
suit is minus his watch. the only val
liable he had in his possession. He
was locked in box car, where he was
found this morning.

drove the loafers from the station they
returned claiming that they we're wait
ing for north bound train. It was
nearly midnight when the station was
finally cleared. This night of revelry
is the closing one Of the orgies as the
sgent of the company has been notified
that the station must be kept clear of
such meetings in the future. Travellers
have often been forced out of the sta
ton by the action of this gang of
rowdy men and women and the scenes
that have been enacted there often
times have partaken of the ssnsa tional
nature of the levee in Chicago. Few
people in Kenosha have known of the
abuse of the station but it will be
matter of rejoicing to these people to
know that the company has finally
taken the matter in hand aud will for

The sweet tales of love and affection

Sunday the officers of the railway
company together with officers from
the city drove the crowds of lovers
from the station and forever sealed
the door against the use of the little
station as trysting place. For
months the little station has been used
as gathering place for the boys and
girls. ''Meet me at the station" has
been the salutation of the West Side
lovers and they have used the station
at all times of the day and night.
Stories of carousals hardly believed bic
are told by the agent for the company
in Kenosha. It is claimed that young
girls have been found drunk in the
station while it was a common sight
to find party of a dozen boys and
girls sitting in the station all smoking
cigarettes and often times drinking
whiskey and other intoxicants. Mid

One of the biggest items in the bud

County Board meeting was the bill for
costs in the Caster case. This bill to
the county alone amounted to little
over eight hundred dollars. Added to
this some of the minor expenses had
been paid at former meeting of the
board. It is estimated that the costs
of the case have exceeded $500. Jus

Between and during courses they dis
cussed the business In hand. Almost
all the tables were filled and they

which comes from the presence OF a
large and noisy crowd.

that you had better send over to-
morrow and pay the 100000 for that
forty feet. You've really got to have
1t, sooner or later, and every day you
put off the purchase makes 1t more
likely that the price will go UP. If 1t
ever gets out that you intend to cover
the whole block with a single build
ing you'll have to pay more than
twice as much for the property. AS a
matter of fact, you could better af-
ford to pay 5000, 900 for the piece than
to have your whole plan. spoiled by
not getting 1t. You can't build . de-

little squat four-story building in the

WHERE ASPHALT Is CHEAP.

Not far from the town OF Ardmore.
in Indian Territory, and partly with
in the corporation limits is an asphalt
mine which is thought to be extensive
enough to pave all the streets in In
dian and Oklahoma territories. Ard
more proposes to build her streets Of
native asphalt. She will be prodigal
in the use Of asphaltum, for the rea-
son that 1t Is more economical than
crushed rock and cement. The plan
is to take the asphaltum as 1t comes
from the mine and make foundation
six inches thick. This will be pound.
ed and rolled until compact. Upon this
will be spread coating of the same
material crushed into coarse gravel
size, mixed with the powdered ma.
terial that results from the crushing.
This also is thoroughly tamped and
rolled. The last coat is made of the
same material ground to powder and
then heated. No wagon ways have
been made, but many sidewalks have
been built in this manner and they are
giving most satisfactory results. The
crude asphaltum can be laid upon the
streets at about half the cost OIL
crushed stone.
