three miles east of Tama and Burkhart,

for moment as tho the st. Paul en-
gineer might have things his own way,
owing to the difference in the weight
of the train, but Burkhart hitched his
old machine UP little and gave her
a trifie more steam. She soon began to
lengthen her stride until it was appar-

UNCOVER OLD RELIC.
While Excavating on South Third
Avenue Workmen Uncover Portion
of City's Former Fire Protection Ser

VICE.
The excavating for the new line of
the street railway company on the
corner of Third avenue and Linn
streets has uncovered one of the old
relics of this city's former fire pro-
lection service, erected apparently at
a time when Marshalltown was but a
thriving hamlet. The shovels Of the
.workmen disclosed the manhole of a
large reservoir used in former days to
store water used in case of fire. The
reservoir is large affair and would
probably have held several hundred
gallons Of water and it is evident it was
erected at some time before the water
works was built. Inquiry from old res
idents brings out the facts that it was
sunk in the early '70's and had been
connected with several of the houses
in the immediate vicinity, catching the
drain from the roofs. During dry
weather the supply was maintained by
pumping water from the Murphy we'll
near by. This was In the days when
the city's fire department consisted of
only hand engine. 1t was feared at
first that the top of the cistern protrud-
ed so far above the level of the grade
established for the bed Of the track
that it would have to be filled.
1t Is believed this will not be
necessary, as the manhole cover can
be cemented down and the track built
over it. Six or seven feet of stagnant
water was found in the reservoir.

truth. I at times kept from coughing
myself to pieces by taking a teaspoon
full Of this remedy, and when the cough
ing spell would come on at night
would take dose and 1t seemed that
in the briefest interval the cough
would pass off and would go to sleep
perfectly free from cough and its ac-
companying pains. To say that the
remedy acted as most agreeable sur

idea that 1t would or could knock out
the grip. simply because 1 had never
tried 1t for such a purpose, but 1t did,
and 1t seemed with the second attack Of
coughing the remedy caused 1t to not
only be of less duration. but the pains
were far less severe. and had not used

Twenty Business Men Will I'M
prove the Club For the Com
ing Summer Season
MEMBERSHIP TO BE INCREASED
Associate Members, Who Will Not
Have Golf Privileges, But All Others
Will be Taken in-New Outdoor
Games to Be Added-Bis Opening
May I.

The Marshalltown Country Club is
to be backed this year to such an ex-
tent that the club will be put on the
best of financial footing, equal to any
in the state. This was decided upon at
a meeting of the board of directors, held
at the Fidelity Savings Bank parlors,
when twenty members, all responsible
business men, decided to stand back OF
the club and improve it materially for
the summer season, now approach
ing.
The directors Of the club, Messrs.
G. +. Kirby, A. G. Click, e. r. Lay,
C. H. E. Boardman and III. e. Sloan,
We're all present at the annual meet
ing. and several important matters We're
disposed Of. A great many new APP
plications for membership We're re-
ceived, and it was decided to take in
associate members at a lesser fee. this
class to include all who do not wish to
play golf. All the privileges OF the
grounds will be open to them but that
of the links, even to the new games that
are to be added to the list OF sports.
Tennis courts will be laid out; basket
ball will be added; croquet grounds will
be marked off for a number who still
stand by the old game that they en-
joyed years ago; and a box ball alley
will be put in.
The club house and grounds were
reported in excellent condition, and un-
less high water prevails again this
season. as 1t did last, the grounds will
afford many pleasures to the mem
bers. Last season membership cards
in the Country Club We're not worth
very much, because the grounds We're
son, but 1t is not anticipated that such
will be the case this year.
Another matter that is going to be
looked after this year is the main
tenance of the road leading to the
grounds. The club is going to look
after keeping the road in good shape,
and will employ men. if necessary, to
make what improvements are found
necessary. The directors intend to
make the club most popular resort
in every way, a place where all mem
bers will want to go after days work
in town, and where they may be able
to recuperate, to a degree, from the
long, heated periods.
The club will have its opening on
May I, at which time the season will
be opened with gala day for all men,
bers and many of their friends.

this city, by Judge Mcpherson yester-
day. will not act in that capacity. Judge
Mcpherson having today cancelled his
order. The creditors. 1t seems, did not
ask that a receiver be appointed but

ruptcy. When the petition was re-
ceived at Des Moines 1t was duly filed,
and on the next train came another of
voluntary bankruptcy, from e. u. En-
cry. The Involuntary petition held
precedence because of its having been
filed first. The bankruptcy petition was
filed, 1t is understood because of an ac-
ton brought by Mr.. Emery against his
partner, Mr.. c. f. A. Lair. for the re-
covery of the firms books. which are
alleged to be in Mr.. LARS possession.
