LOCAL COMMENT.
*eeeeeeeeeeeee4e4eeeeeeees

City politics no longer lies dormant.
From now on, until the election on
March 80, there is every promise that
something will be doing in municipal
affairs. The prohibitionists of the city
will nut into the field next week a
"home protection ticket" to run in OPP
position to the present administration,
and other candidates who have an
nounced. The prohibition people do not
claim the movement to be one of the
regularly prescribed third party, but
ra Their on the law and order plan, and
it's chief object of attack will be the
saloon. According to the platform
adopted at meeting last night, an
nounced in the news columns today, II
the home protection ticket wins, every
saloon in Marshalltown will be COM
pelled to close up business, regardless
Of any state law in existence permit
ting it to operate. In this the cold Wa
ter people are little radical, and are
inclined to look upon the council as u
body having more power than the legis-
lature. They claim that with the coun-
Gil rests the right to prevent every sa-
loon from doing business, and by the
election of a council they expect TO
WELD a restraining power. So far as
known in the law as it has been ex-
pounded to date, the council has not
been gifted with the power further than
to regulate the number. That matter is
discretionary with the council and
there are good many saloon men IN
Marshalltown who wish the council
would prevent new saloons from open
ing up, because the greater the num-
her the less business those already II
operation can do. In other words, the
increase in population is not sufficient
to warrant the additional number of
saloons. From this point of view 1t
might be argued that the more saloons
that are allowed to operate. the sooner
will some of them have to close, for
lack of business.
AS far as the councils right to reject
the petitions Of the present saloons, IT Is
all nonsense to believe that it can as
long as there is a provision in the stat
utes allowing saloons to operate under
the mulct law or any other system. 1t
is much like the prevention of the use
of liquor, which is generally conceded
will be used as long as 1t is manuiac-
tured Saloons will run In Iowa as lons
as the state affords the privilege, andl
in some counties regardless. No one
questions the right of the council to use
discretion, however, in the operation OF
saloons, and especially In passing new

SMALL DOCTORS BILLS.
Scientific Feeding the Way to Reduce
Them,

| A little science in the selection of food
| leads to good health and smaller doc
tors bills. Ill health not only cuts
cost of living, too. How many men and
women would like to save the biggest
part of what they now pay out for sick
ness? AS most ailments come from in-
proper feeding it stands to reason you
won't need the doctor so often IL you
feed yourself and family right and the
doctor would be pleased as well.
The principal of the we'll known Hol-
land Academy at Beckville, Texas,

Marietta Farmers Have a Hot
Time atAnnual Meeting Of
Rural Telephone Co.
SESSION WAS VERY HEATED
Executive Committee Accused of At
tempt to Re-Arranse Lines of Hart
land Mutual Telephone Company to
Suit ThemseIves-Move Is Squashed
and Action Postponed Another Year.

The thirty farmers of the Marietta
Hartland neighborhood, who had hoped
tc equip their homes with telephones to
be connected with The Hartland Mu-
least another year before they can
have their wishes gratifed, SO far as
the Hartland line is concerned. This
came about thru the heatedness of the
annual meeting of The Hartland Mutual
Telephone Company, held in Marietta
on Friday, which ended in a blaze OF IN
dignation without any action being
taken. 1t is claimed the executive
committee failing tc carry Its point
adjourned the meeting and the CUES
ton under discussion until the aniuai
meeting next January.
The Hartland line has two wires WIN
fifteen telephones on each. Thirty 9TH
err farmers in the neighborhood We're
dssirous of joining The company ana
having instruments installed in their
homes. 1t was the intention OF the
company to add two more wires ana 50
divide the old users ;.nd the new ones
SO that there would still be fifteen on a
line. The matter was left to the eXecu-
tive COMMITTEES. COMPOSED OF Messrs.
Thomas Nichols, Robert Harper ana
Emmett Hole. These gentlemen, In the
presence of about sixty farmers who
were interested, ana who attended ths
meeting. submitted their plan for the
rearrangement and adding of the addi-
tional thirty phones and the TWO new
lines. 1t was this proposed DIVISION OF
the old users and the adding OF the new
ones that caused the trouble ana
heated speechss. The proposed change
was to leave on each of the old lines
four of the present users, and add 20
each one eleven of the new members.
This. it is claimed, would In many m
stances so separate patrons VINO were
intimate friends, 50 that they would
have to get connection via TINS city II
they wished to talk to their next door
neighbor. 1t is also claimed by some
that the executive committee arrange1
the new plan to suit itself, and IN one
case 1t is said one OF the members de-
sired to have all his relatives on the
line on which his own instrument was
connected.
After the discussion had grown most
heated and some decidedly plain talk
was INDUCED in the plan failed to carry
by vote Backers of the scheme tneh
moved and carried All adjournment IN
til the next regular meeting in January,
before which time tie matter can not
again come up. So warm did the accu-
so+;onc and sneecheS become that 1t Is
said one of the members of the COM
mittee wept and said he had never IN
his life before been so abused. The lit
tie nsighborhood is considerably stirred
up over the matter, and those inter-
ested are INDUCING in lot of talk con-
corning 1t. 1t is more than likely, how
ever. that no ATTEMPT will be made to
bring the matter up until the next
regular meeting, altho new and inde-
pendent company may be formed.

CITIZENS ARE INTERESTED.
A Meeting Held ard Petitions Being
Circulated Urging Hull and Turner to
DIR A.,

Run Again.
About thirty citizens met in an East
Main street law Office last evening for
the purpose of discussing public schooi
affairs and talking ever matters per-
tanning thereto. The gathering was
composed of laborirs men, business and
professional men ana citizens in gen
eral who have direct interest in our
public schools. After talking over the
expenditures that have been made IN
erecting new buildings and the policies
adopted by the present board 1t was
unanimously decided to urge Messrs.
C. H. Hull and George A. Turner the
present members, to become candidates
for reelection. These men favor a
liberal policy of providing sanitary
school buildings for every one and the
possible in public school instruction.
They have been vigorously opposed to
a cheese-paring policy which, While II
might reduce the taSes few real es-
tate owners have to pay, would sacr1-
flee the school advantages of the sons
and daughters of every citizen, rich or
poor, and 1T was the unanimous sentl-
ment of citizens present that the men
standing for these policies be retained
on the board.
Several citizens expressed themselves
in approval of the attitude of Director
Nicholson in favoring the erection of
modern schoo! buildings and commend
ed the careful personal supervision ha
had given to the work of building the
Third ward school. They said that tn.
laboring people of the city We're entitled
to representative on the school board.
and that Mr.. Nicholson had shown
himself worthy of the honor conferred
upon him.
number of petitions were circulat-
ed this morning requesting Messrs.
Turner and Hull to become candidates,
which petitions have been signed by
practically every one who has been app
preached. The canvassers will not at
tempt to cover all the city, but several
of the largest shops will be sought for
an expression of an opinion, and the re-
tail district. If the demand Is general
and representative of public sentiment
these men will consent to run for re-
election. and continue their efforts to
give Marshalltown good schools. Per-
sonally, they would prefer not to be
candidates, hut If the citizens demand
it they will act in order to carry out
their policies.

Mr.. Claude c. Crippen, agent Of the
American Express Company in this
city, received notice today from the
headquarters Office, Chicago, that he
had been promoted to the general agen-
cy of the company at GAINESVILLE, Wis,
and that he would be expected to re-
port for duty Tuesday. The notification
came as surprise to Mr.. Crippen, who
had expected to remain in this city for
an indefinite period.
Mr.. Crippen came to Marshalltown 10
take charge of the local office a year
ago last November, succeeding Mr..
George r. Kennedy, who was made
route agent. He has been with the COM
pany since 1892, and came here from
Lake Forest, Ill. His experience in the
express business dates from 1887, he
having been connected with the Unit
ed States prior to his entering the serv-
ice of the American. Mr.. Crippen has
made many friends, both in a business
way and socially during his stay here,
who will regret his departure. The new
position is a much better one, as the
GAINESVILLE Office does double the bust
ness done here.
Mr.. Crippen will be checked out Mon
day by Route Agent Kennedy. Ills sue
cessor has not yet been announced.

"Foxy Grandpa" Plays to Very Fair
Business at the Odeon.

William A. Brady's Foxy Grandpa,
a musical farce comedy Of considerable
merit, played to very fair business at
the Odeon last evening. Ed Groh, In
the title role, and his assistants, Ed
ward Koestler and Irving Newhoff,
"the boys" gave several very clever
sketches of the New York Herald's Gre
alton by Bunny" Schulz Musically
the company is not decidedly strong,
altho number of the choruses are
pleasing. The Neapolitan trio,s ap-
pearance were very much enjoyed, ana
had Albro, Slower and GrisWold been
given more of an opportunity to score
hits with their voices, and a little OF
the horse play been cut out, the pro-
duction would be more OF success

SAMUEL PEO CHARGED
WITH SERIOUS OFFENSES
Paid Heavy Fine This Morn.
ing and Was Almost I'M
mediately Rearrested

After paying a fine OF $50 and costs
this morning for keeping a disorderly
house, Samuel Peo was rearrested on a
warrant charging him with the serious
offense Of harboring girls under age for
immoral purposes.
Peo was arrested by Sergeant Lyons
ON two warrants, charging him with
separate oflenses. The warrants We're
isued at the instigation Of Chief of Po-
lice George Black, who has been trying
to secure sufficient evidence against the
prisoner for six months past to prevent
MIN from further violating the law.
The girls are alleged to have made
their home with Peo. Neither are over
16 years Of age. one was committed
several days ago to the Delaware In
dustrial School for Girls. The other
one, 1t is understood. is engaged to be
married.
The fact that the prisoner pleaded
guilty in City Court this morning to a
charge OF keeping a disorderly house
strengthens the case of the State
against him, as it will not be necessary
TO prove this essential fact to secure
a conviction Peo was locked up and
win be arraigned in City Court to-
morrow morning.
Evening journal., 1903-09-07

outlined his plan OF action. In q
suitable ship built in one Of our best
shipyards, strengthened to the maxi
mum degree and fitted with American
engines, Commander Peary hopes to
start with his expedition about the 1st
of April
In his letter of application to Act
ing Secretary Of the Navy Darling
for leave Of absence. comrandeF
Peary says;
az should expect TO accomplish the
distance to the pole and return in
, about 100 days, or a little more, an
average travel Of about 10 miles a
day Returning, should break the
ship out late in the season and return
home.
n "If ice conditions the first year were
such as 70 prevent reaching the north
ern shore of Grant Land, I should
winter as far north as practicable and
force the ship to the desired location
the following year In this event the
expedition would be gone two years"
Distinctive features OF Commander
Peary's plan are the use of individual
eledges with comparatively light
loads. drawn by dogs, and the adop-
tion Of Eskimo methods ana costume.
Acting Secretary OF the Navy Oar
Hing says in his letter to Commander
Peary granting leave of absence:
"Thc attainment OF the pole should
be your main object Nothing short
viii snfice. The discovery Of the poles
lis all that remains to complete the mar
of the world
1If Il is claimed that the enterprise
Is fraught with danger and privation
the answer IS that geographical dis
covery in all ages has been purchased
at the price of heroic courage and
noble sacrifice. Our national pride IL
involved in the undertaking, and this
department expects that you shall &C
X complish your purpose"
In an interview Commander Peary
said that the expedition would be
made under the auspices of the Peary
Arctic Club of New York. of which
n Morris X. Jesup is president The
iclub will finance the expedition to thl
extent Of sl50,OOO. which is S5O,00C
more than thS,cost of the last tlip.
