| The Entry List Large and lferc Us
Every Promise of Good Meet.
The entry lists of the Marshalltown
race meeting to be held at Finkle's
Park on July IA, 10 and Is are out and
indicate that the three days racing
this season will equal if they do not
exceed the good sport which has invari-
ably been furnished the race going peo-
pie of central Iowa by Secretary Finkle
in past years. Tuesday, July IA. is
opening day and on this day the 2:25
trot, the 2:15 trot and an eight furlong
running race will be started. For We'd
nesday the 2:20 pace and the 2:35 trot
are listed and another running race will
be sandwiched with these. Thursdays
sport includes the 2:15 pace and the
9. 80 pace. besides another contest be-
tween the runners. All the fields have
been filled to Mr.. Finkle's best expec-
tadons and with a class of horses that
insures fast time and close finishes.
The 2:30 pace has an extremely large
field of entries and all are Well filed.
Mr.. Finkle's extensive acquaintance
among horsemen over the state has
enabled him to bring together a splen-
did field of the best performers in the
different classes for the edifcation OF
his patrons.
Marshalltown races are always good.
The MarshaNtown meeting Is N the
center of the circuit and gets thu rorses
on edge from Just enough racing TO
make them good before summer of
campaigning has worn them down.
This fact, with Finkle's enterprise and
pull with horsemen, is the secret of
the fast time and long drawn-out con-
tests Marshaltown race meeting al
ways develops.
The big, new, cool amphitheatre will
add to the comforts of race attendants
this year and band concerts daily make
the waits between heats pleasant in
stead of tedious. Special railroad aX
cursion rates will obtain on the Chi
cago Great Western, Iowa Central and
Chicago g. Northwestern railroads
turnout the meeting. which will as us
ual draw big crowds from all over
central Iowa. No one who enjoys the
sport of kings" can afford to stay
away from Marshalltown during the

GORDON is BOUND OVER.
Negro Who Passed a Forged Check
Held to the Grand Jury.


Charles Gordon, negro who. as an
employe of w. X. Painter, is alleged to
have forged his employers name to a
check for S. made payable to w. III.
Barton, which was cashed at Giffords
saloon. was given his preliminary hear
ing in Justice Burritt's court this morn
ing and was found guilty. Justice Bur-
rift bound the prisoner over to the
grand jury. and placed his bonds at
$500. He was unable to furnish the
bonds and is in Jail.
The fact that Gordon asked for a
change of venue from the court of
Mayor Jones TO that of Justice Burritt,
gave the state a good opportunity to
get sample of his handwriting to
compare with the signature of Barton
on the check on which Gordon received
his money. Gordon made his applica-
ton for a change of venue, and signed
his own name to it. The writing is
easily identified as that OF the same
hand that wrote Bartons signature.
The officers claim that Gordon's past
reputation is bad, and they are glad he
Is placed in position where he can
be retired from circulation for time
at least. Gordon is said to have been
mixed up in a case of obtaining money
under false pretenses a few weeks ago
in the south part of town. He is said
to have bought a hog from one Mrs.
Stegman, for which he gave $1.5O in
cash and check for the balance, Si.oo.
He had no money in the bank as Mrs.
Stegman found when she went to get
the check cashed. Gordon was willing
to settle and there was no prosecution.
Gordon is also said to have served
term in the penitentiary already for
robbing the postotlice at Quarry several

HOSPITAL Will
B OPENED SOON
Expected Within Two Weeks
Time New Public Hospital
Will Receive Patients
ROOMS ARE BEING SELECTED
Those Who Have Furnished Rooms in
the New Building Are Being Given
the Privilege Of Making Selections
Work on the Interior Progressing
Nieely-Formal Dedication Later.

From the present indications the
new ST. Thomas hospital will be ready
for the reception of patients in two
weeks. The work on the interior OF
the building is progressing nicely and
by evening the plasterers will be thru
with their work The painters are
varnish, and two more coats will see
that part of the interior work COM
pleted. No painting is being done in
side, but rather all the wood work is
being finished in oil and varnish. which
finishes the interior entirely in the nat
ural grain of the wood.
The formal dedication of the build
ing, even tho the patients may be re-
ceived in two weeks, will not occur
until later. The exact date is not yet
known, and Will be subject to
the plans of Archbishop j. j.
Keane. of Dubuque. who is to
deliver the dedicatory address. 1t is
expected that everything about the
new building will be ship shape by the
time the formal dedication is made.
A large number of the Iowa priests
will be in the city for the dedication,
and many will participate in the cere-
monies.
The selection of rooms is now
being made by those who have agreed
to furnish them. The opportunity to
make the selection is extended accord
ing to the order In which the requests
were filed when the hospital project
was first suggested. Mrs. Henry
Pappe has made the first selection, and
took a choice room in the southeast
corner of the building, on the second
floor. The Elks have also chosen as
their room one in the same part of the
building. This evening at o'clock the
Lady Maccabees will make their selec-
ton, and Sunday afternoon at o'clock,
the travelling men Of the city will pick
their room. There are still left in the
neighborhood Of thirty rooms that have
been set aside for individuals who may
desire to furnish them. Every few
days Father Lehman receives letters
asking about what is required in fur
nishing room, and it is thought that

dedication. nearly every available room
will be furnished. On the door of each
room is to be fastened a plate bearing
the name of the individual or society
furnishing 1t.
People who have driven out past the
hospital site are more than pleased
with the appearance of the handsome
new building. 1t is certainly credit
to Marshalltown, or any other city for
that matter, and will be one of the best
equipped and most conveniently ar
ranged hospitals in the state, even tho
not as large as some.
The sisters who are to have charge
of the building are expected to arrive
in the city any time. They will be here
in advance of the opening, in order to
have everything in readiness.
