BASE BALL SEASON is ENDED.
Maroons Practically Disbanded and
Out.o Town PLAYERS Have Ell.

The base ball season, at least SO far
as the semi professional nine, Maroons.
Is concerned, is ended, and most of the
hired players, who have been holding
positions with the nine, left the city
Monday. So far as the number of
games won is taken into account, the
team has been a success. The same
cannot be said, however, when the fl
nances are taken into consideration
On Aug. the first game was played by
the Maroons, and during the little more
than month that they were in exis-
tence they have played eighteen games,
having won twelve Of them. They lost
one game to Colfax, two to Written,
two to Belle PLANE and one at Water
loo. Oddly enough. only one of these
games, the second one, with Whitton.
on Labor day, was lost on the local dia-
mond. All the others were played gu.
OF town. The team quits the season
with about $40 on the wrong side OF
the ledger. The patronage which the
team received, excepting at the two
Sunday games was for the most part
very slim, and not sufficient in many
instances to meet expenses. Just what
will he done regarding d team next year
is problematical. but there 10 one thing

eat was burden to me-

meals and quit meat altogether but
nothing improved my appetite and the

on one meal day and had to force
myself to eat that and was rapidly
starving until one day a friend sug-
gested Grape Nuts.
..Altho my palate and stomach had
rebelled against all other foods Grape
Nuts agreed Immediately and really
relished this food while the changes in
my condition have been wonderful. My
weight increased from the start and
I have now regained IL pounds while
my pulse is normal and am new per-

ITO make sure that this change was
due to Grape Nuts I made the expert

Drama, Pleases Fair Sized Audience.
Sweet Clover" story of Connec-
ticut farm of the same name, told by
a company headed by Otis B. Thayer,
at the Odeon Monday night. scored a
partial success, altho the tale lost con-
siderable merit by the manner of its
presentation. The company is fairly
capable one, but is decidedly weak in
places, especially in the comedy parts,
where the tendency is very marked to
play horse and so overdraw that all re-
semblance to nature Is lost Mr.. Thayer
and his leading lady, Miss Edna Robb
the latter as Lois Holcomb," are very
clever as is also Mr.. j. M. Sullivan
The remainder of the cast is not UP to
the standard. The story is pretty one
and deserves better treatment, for, in
the hands of more capable people, 1t
would have been a strong stage les
son. An audience of fair size seemed
to appreciate and be pleased with the
production. The staging and scenic eff
facts were good.

game is played SO far only a partial
schedule has been completed, but the
teams secured are better than any local

met. The schedule, as so far COM
pleted, IS as follows:
Oct. 10-Elast Des Moines, at Mar

Oct. 17-Boone al Boone.
Oct. 24-Grinnell at Marshalltown.
Nov. Waterloo at Marshalltown.

1t will be seen by the above that
there is a decrease of one-half mill In
the assessment for the state tax, also
in the county. No tax for county in
sane is to be levied at all, neither Is
there any levy made under the head of
judgment. This would make a reduc-
ton of mills, but the board saw fit
to add a quarter OF mill to the gen.
eral insane fund, which leaves the to-
tai reduction 2X mills. Auditor Melee
land says that the reduction is obtain
able because Of the fac. that the funds
OF the county have been looked after
carefully by the board, and the ex-
penditures made wisely.

Special Election Nov. 3.

!
Quite a little discussion was occa-
Stoned by the report of Chairman Web
| ster. Of the buildings and grounds COM
mittee, on the park proposition. The
committees report was as follows:
"Your committee on buildings and
grounds, to whom was referred the Pc
titton of the Trades and Labor Assem-
bly,, Federation of Women's Clubs ind
Commercial Club. asking that the
| council call special election for the
| levy OF tax and the election of COM
missioners and thei dedication of the
tract of land owned by the city where
the detention hospital Is located for
park purposes, begs leave to report as
| follows:
Upon investigation of the law, we
| find that the election of park commits
| sioners and submission of a tax levy
| to raise funds for that purpose must
/ be al special or regular city election,
and not at the general fail election.
| "'Your committee would therefore
recommend that the two questions be
submitted at the regular spring cleo
J ton.
1.-THE law for cities of 12,500 inhabi-
tants, or under, places IN the hands of
the park commissioners the entire
charge OF the funds and location of a
park, the council having nothing to do
with the same. This council can there
| fore do no more in regard to setting
aside any tract of land owned by the
city than to offer such land to the
| commissioners after they have been
duly elected and qualified. The conn
missioners can then accept or reject
the same within their own discretion.
"'while this committee is strongly
in favor Of of public park and would
urge upon this council to do all In its
power for the securing OF the same, it
would not, however. recommend the
dedication of this ground, which COM
prises only thirteen acres, unless the
park commissioners when elected, can
secure at least thirty or forty acres
additional A park of less than forty
or fifty acres would be too small for
public purposes. Your committee would
deem 1t unwise to act upon this part
Of the request until after the questions
of the levy and election of park com
missioners have been passed upon by
the qualif1ed voters of the city"
Mr. Webster followed his report with
the following resolution:
Bel. resolved, by the city council of
of Marshalltown, Iowa, That there be
submitted to the qualified electors of
the city of Marshalltown, Iowa, at the
regular election of said city, for The
year 1904, the following question, to-
wit:

Takes a Decided Stand Against
Permitting New Saloons
to Operate
THE CITY HAS ALL 1T NEEDS
Mayor consratulates the Body on its
Stand-special Election on Park Pro-
position on November 3-To Collect
Rental for Meters-council Transacts
Much Business.

The city council took q decided stand.
at its regular meeting Monday night
against permitting new saloons to OPP
crate IN the city, and for the first time
and saloons were established here, the
council refused a petition of consent
for saloon in a strictly business dis
trict. Lorenz Ill, of D5s Moines, was
the applicant, and desired to put i'll a
saloon in the new building at the cor
ner of Third avenue aud Nevada street.
He was refused by an almost unani
nous vote of the council Mr.. Henry.
of the First, who presented the reso-
luton, and Mr.. Good, of the Third, be-
ing the only members to support the
petition. All of the members of the
council were present with the excap-
ton of Mr.. Abbott who is out Of The
city.
Mr.. Ill was represented by an attor-
made plea for the establishment of
the saloon on the ground that the rev
enue to the city was ,.-ach needed. 1t
did not take the n ~oers long to jump
on the resolution with both feet, and
their views were forcibly expressed.
Mr.. Greene took decided action
against any more saloons. but admitted
that II was a delicate position to place
the members of the council. As long,
however, as the members of the Fourth
ward, where the building is located.
were not apparently in favor of 1t, be-
cause of the fact that neither intro
duced the resolution, he would not be
in favor OF 1t even if he did not think
the city had sufficient number al
ready.
Mr.. Webster and Mr.. Ingledue also
talked against the establishment of
more saloons. as did Mr.. Kreutaer.
They all thought Marshalltown had
enough at the present time, and that
1t was time to call halt. 1t would be
better, Mr.. Webster thought, If half
OF the present number would go out of
business, and he was in hopes that
they would, il left alone. Mr.. Webster
has figured that there is saloon for
every 500 population at the present
IliIle, ana Itldl is lii0It tldll di Z dSialiy
found in towns that are called saloon
towns. meaning where there is an
overwhelming sentiment in favor OF
the licensed saloon. Mr.. Psenicka took
a stand against the establishing of
more saloons. and said that while they
were little dry in the Fifth ward.
with only two, he considered that six
in the Fourth were sufficient. Mr. Ar
mold did not express himself. but voted
with the majority. Mr.. Good and Mr..
Henry both made brief talks in favor
Of the new saloon, as they considered
that as long as Mr.. Ill was looked ur'on
as the proper kind Of a person to OPP
crate a saloon the number should not
be taken into consideration. Mayor
Jones took occasion to congratulate The
council on its stand, as he thinks there
liz a sufficient number now in opera
tion.

Sewer Turned Down.

Mr.. Henry brought up again. In the
shape of resolution, the First ward
sewer to run from Bromley street to
Lawrence on Fourth avenue. Both of
the First ward councilmen said the
sewer was badly needed. and had been
for the past fifteen years. Mr.. Greene
and Mr.. Kreutzer, While not opposing
the taking OF any sanitary measures
for the Improvement of the city, re-
CARELESS of wards, raised the question
of expense at this time. Mr.. Henry
estimated the cost at between s400 and
$780, and the specifications were looked
up and the cost found to be about $500.
The resolution was lost, Arnold,
Greene. Kreutzer and Mcbride voting
nay.
The council met as board Of health
at the conclusion of the regular ses-
sion, and allowed a few outstanding
bills.
