WILL HAVE EXCELLENT BAND.
Prominent Leader to Be Secured for
Coming Season-Annual Meeting OF
Band Held Thursday NIGHT.


Band Held Thursday Night.
Every member of the Fifty-third
Iowa infantry band is working as one
man to give to Marshalltown during the
coming season the best band this city
has ever had. They say that never in
the history of a musical organization in
this city has there been so many good
musicians iii the city as at the present
time The band has been handicapped
during the past to a more or less extent
by incompetent leaders, but this is to
be remedied during the next season,
and a Chicago musician. who is of the
highest class, will probably be secured.
Negotiations have already been opened
with this gentleman and there is every
prospect that he will be secured.
The annual meeting of the band was
held Thursday evening. resulting in A.
C. Everist being elected manager;
Charles Wallace, secretary, and James
Lamb, treasurer.
AT some time during the month of
February the band will give a fair, the
proceeds from which will go toward
paying the salary of the director to be
employed. The committee which has
the arrangements for the fair In hand
are Messrs A. c. Everist. v. e. Now

for an armory, expired Jan. 1. COM
mittee was appointed to secure suitable
quarters.

oppose it's abandonment. But some
thing must be done to make life more
secure, and on the part of the town
that something can be done tomorrow
night. Only one crossing is asked to he
vacated, and that one conceded to be
the least used and the best spared of
any by the general public. An open
crossing at opera hall, on Owasco
street, is OF little value to the town
ana it's outside patrons compared with
a reasonable guarantee of safety at
the four other crossings. The coun-
ell should perform a duty to all who
are obliged to cross these tracks by
making the pending ordinance law.
and let those who oppose it resist 1t
in the courts if they will. Let us
have the point involved legally settled
and as quickly as possible. Otherwise

The Glea son Meetinus.

The special NEE tings being conducted
at the First Methodist church by Miss
Anna Gleason are attracting much in
terest A large audience was present
Thursday night. The music, which is
in charge of Miss Elizabeth Merritt,
is one of the enjoyable features.
Miss Gleason spoke Thursday night
on Jacob and Esau, taking her text
from Genesis 1871. Jacob. in securing
Esau's birthright and his fathers bles-
sing. incurred his brothers displeasure.
In order to escape the results of Esau's
anger he followed his mothers advice
and left home. Going toward Haran
there came to him one night the visions
of the angels of God, ascending and de-
scending upon the ladder which reach
ed from earth to heaven, and with the
vision Gods voice in promised blessings
followed by Jacobs vow of faithful
ness to God. Jacob continues his jour-
ney to Haran, lives and prospers there
for twenty years. then returns with his
family to Canaan, failing to go at once
to Bethel, as he had promised God, and
settling down instead in the pleasant
valley of Sechem. After eight years OF
forgetfulness in Sechem God speaks to
him and commands him oarise, so up
to Bethel, dwell there and make an al
tar unto God. Jacob Is compelled to
pay his vows. made thirty years before.
From this bit of Biblical history Miss
Gleason drew the lesson that many peo-
pie today are living in the conscious
ness of having made vows that remain
unified. At time of conversion the
heart is given to God, with pledge of
faithfulness. Later the VOWS OF the
church are taken. Children are pre-
scented to the Lord. In times of sick :
ness. death and adversely, VOWS are
taken, only to be broken under other
conditions.

A DOCTORS BANQUET.
Five Hundred Friends as Guests.


When DR.. N. S. Davis, Dean Emeritus
of the Northwestern University, reach
ed his SOth birthday the event was cele-
brated with banquet at the Auditors
UNI Hotel, Chicago, with 500 invited
guests. AS most of his long life has
been spent studying health DIR. Davis
is an authority on the subject. In one
of his recently published articles, he
says:
."The almost constant sense of weari-
ness impels many workers to resort to
the use of strong tea and coffee, the
stimulants in which appear to offer re-
lief for from one to two hours, but
which only add to their ultimate misery
by impairng digestion and causing
restless sleep at night.
",This is the truth in a NUTSHELL,
writes a young lady authoress of
Wheaton, Ill.,, and 1T decided me to be-
gin using Postum Food Coffee in place
of tea and coffee I had suffered from
impaired digestion and wakeful nights,
was tired all the time and my brain re-
fused to respond to the demand made
upon it by my profession.
"Almost from the first felt benefited
by Postum, and am now 100 per cent
better. brain clearer, digestion never
better, weight increased twenty-seven
pounds, sleep soundly all night and
awake refreshed in mind and body.
my improvement has been so very
great that at least twenty of my ac-
auaintances have adopted Postum"

GETS LITTLE SATISFACTION.
State center's Interview With North.
western Over Crossing Gates Has
No Results.

western Over Crossing Gates Hds
No Results.
The visit of the committee of State
Center business men to Boone Tuesday,
which was mentioned in these columns,
was not a very satisfactory one to the
town. Superintendent Whalen made a
proposition some time ago, in which the
vacating of one of the crossings was
involved. He takes this position still,
and will not swerve. The Enterprise,
| in speaking of the situation, says in its
1 Thursday issue:
mayor Buck, r. II. Schilling, w.
T.. Brimhall. and Theodore Engle went
| to Boone Tuesday in compliance with
| instructions from the town council to
i wait upon Mr.. Whalen in the interest
| of securing gates at the three west
railroad crossings without closing the
/ opera hall crossing. Members of the
committee standing on either side of
! the question admit that nothing was
accomplished by the visit. Superin-
itendent Whalen stands firmly on tho
agreement made with the councilmen
outside of chambers, and informed his
callers that he would do nothing more
until the council has carried out its
| justment in the matter is reached. The
ordinance vacating the crossing will
come up on its second reading at the
council meeting tomorrow night and
the council will do the proper thing
lif they pass it to its final adoption.
From present indications, however, it
looks as tho there will not be suffi-
cient votes to carry it thru. Mr. Schil-
ling and Mr.. Brimhall are openly OPP
posed to it and indications point to two
others who will not vote in the affirm
alive. In case the ordinance is lost the
matter will go back to its original sta
tus and some other proposition will
have to be worked out that will be
agreeable to the railroad company. But
If it should carry the property owners
interested will have the whole thing in
their hands, and as they promise an in
junction in case the ordinance carries
they will be pretty well prepared to
stop proceedings-if they can.
There are five public streets cross
ing the Chicago & Northwestern tracks
lin this town. Every one of them crosses
the side tracks as well. Every cross
ing is an obscured crossing. The double
track, the increased number of trains,
and the higher rate of speed combine
to make these crossings much more
dangerous than in former years. In
stance the number OF fatal and other
accidents within year or two. Lons
wears of use have accustomed the cit
liens to these crossings and naturally

Has Handed in His Resignation
to Take Effect on Sunday,
March 1
NOT YET KNOWN
One Of the Oldest Employees of the op.
Grating Department of the Iowa Gen.
trail to Leave the company's Service
News Will Be Received With Re-
greet by Employees Generally.

| The Times Republican is in posses
Trustworthy, to the effect that Train
master Ben G. Falls, of the Iowa Cen
| trail, has handed in his resignation TO
become effective March /. An intima-
ton that such was the case was made
| in these columns several weeks ago,
| there having been a persistent rumor
at the time that Mr.. Falls was to SOON
| leave the road AT that time it was
also stated that Chief Dispatcher f. Nj.
Melin was also to leave, and his reslg-
nation became effective only a few days
ago.
Mr.. Falls departure from the Iowa
Central will be source of general re-
gret on the part of employees. He has
been looked upon as a fixture, as he
| is now the Oldest official in the oper-
ating department left from the group
that had been in charge for SO many
years. Mr.. Falls career with the road
has covered a period Of fourteen years.
He began as an operator IN the ONCE
here and was soon afterwards given
| a trick, which he held until made chief
dispatcher. When Mr.. E. e. kerwin
was made trainmaster of the line south
| and east OF Peoria, Mr.. Falls was
made trainmaster of the property north
| of Oskaloosa, with headquarters in
this city. About eight years ago, when
| the system was placed under charge
of one trainnlaster, Mr.. kerwin. and
the dispatcher's office removed to Os-
kaloosa, Mr.. Falls was again made
chief dispatcher, which position he
held until about five months ago, when
he was again made trainmaster.
Mr.. Falls is thorough railroad
man and his ability is unquestioned.
He has spent the better part of his
life with the company, and a more
| tireless worker could not be imagined
than Ben Falls. Friends who saw
him at work have often wondered
when he ever slept or went to his meals,
for it made no difference what there
was to be done, or under what con-
ditions duties had to be performed,
Ben Falls was on duty to see that the
conditions might be met.
/ Mr.. Falls plans for the future are
not yet determined upon. That he
will be taken care OF by some road
where mans labors are appreciated.
there is no doubt. 1t has been gem
orally understood among railroad men
when c. w. Huntington went to the
Jersey Central that In time he would
have Kerwin and Falls with him. Mr..
Kerwin has already joined his former
chief and is now superintendent. Mr..
Falls may have an eastern position
| in view.
| AS to the successor there has been
no formal announcement made. SUI
perintendent Sullivan, of the Nj. K. &
T., is known to have been in Oskaloosa
recently with Superintendent Davis.
but whether or not his visit had any
significance in view of this change
| is not known. Mr.. Sullivan is very
| close to Mr.. Sweeney, also to Mr..
Davis, and 1t may be that he is the map
slated for the position.
