Committees Decide 10 Give One IN the
Near Future-The Annual Election.
The committees appointed to make
arrangements for a Commercial Club
banquet met with the directors OF the
club in the offices of the Letts-Fletcher
Company last evening and talked over
| plans. Some very enthusiastic sugges-
tons were made. for the promotion OF
Marshalltown's industrial interests, and
IL was decided to 20 ahead with the arr
rangements for a banquet In the near
future, at which the various suggestions
! could be talked over n to which the
public would be invited, at a very mod
crate cost per plate. The various
church organizations among the women
will probably be given an opportunity
to serve the banquet upon terms which
will make 1t an object to them to under
take the task.
1t was decided to proceed with the
ele ction Of officers OF the Club for the
ensuing year in the regular way at a
called mass meeting n the east court
room. AS the directors have made a
final settlement in full with Mr.. Sears
for his services as a paid secretary, and
the employment OF 4 salaried person
for this place terminated for the very
good reason that the funds have been
exhausted, there will not be SO great
an interest taken In the meeting. How
ever, if the Commercial Club is to cons
tinue landing such enterprises as the
pottery plant, 1t will be important for
the citizens to turn L en- masse to the
meeting and elect a board Of workers.
The meeting has been called for
Tuesday evening, Jan. a..

Household Philosophy

ditions Is forced to the conclusion that
q large per centage of housewives are
needless martyrs. Too many of them

And the cause without looking far.
Those whose daily work is a grind can
almost Invariably help the situation If
they study their work and s~ystematize

TO the woman who does her own
homework, washday Is the stumbling
block. When washday becomes un-
bearable, the washing Is sent out, and
too many times the results are dis
astrous.
The pioneer firm Of Iowa soa max
era, Jas. Beach & Sons, of DUBUQUE,
after "A years of soap manufacturing.
succeeded in producing q soap of ordi-
nary cost that will wash clothes with
out boiling. A half hours soaking In
Peosta suds starts the dirt, and half The

pure whiteness is beautiful. It seems
needless to say thai the use of such

dared to tell what had occurred.
Conductors Of all freight trains that
left the city shortly after the crime was
committed were notified by wire to
be on the lookout for Andrews. Officers
of other towns have also been notified.

novelties In brass wire.

WORK OF A BRUTE.
Little Son Of Albert Buchanan Assault,
ed by Middle Aged Man.

M u
OF all the revolving and brutal crimes
that can shock community, one of the
most terrible on the calendar was COM
mitted in the south part OF town Thurs
day evening at about $50 o'clock, when
Fred, the 6-year-old son of Albert Bu-
chanan, of SOC South First street, was
the victim of a criminal assault at The
hands of a middle aged man known as
BILLY" Andrews. Andrews has been
working for the Great Western, and has
been making his home with Buchanan,
who does not live with his wife. Blu
chanan was away from home at the
time, having left his boy with Andrews.
When the father returned he was
shocked to behold, before his very eyes,
the revolving crtne, and before he could
lay his hands on anything to punish the
lads assailant Andrews jerked from his
pocket a razor. Buchanan was afraid
to advance further, and Andrews es-
capped with his razor as a means to
thwart any attack. The matter was at
reported to both the police and
the sheriff's officers, and a warrant was
issued for Andrews arrest, the statu7
tory charge being preferred. The boy,
who was in a pitiable condition, told
his father that Andrews had threatened

Another Big Comic Opera Coming 70
tho Odeon.

SbV0 N00Sss
Patrons OF the Odeon Will have the
first local opportunity of greeting the
great musical comedy. "Floradora,'
next Wednesday, Jan. %. According to
those who have already seen Flora
DORA" 1t might more properly be called
an opera, and we'll deserves all the nice
things that have been said about 1t.
The music goes with a vim and a dash
that is most refreshing and not lnfre-
ouently during Its performance one
finds ones head moving gently from
side to side, drawn by the splendid
which the composer has swung
into his work. "Tell Me Pretty Maid
en-" of the. second act, is one OF the big
hits of the piece and introduces the
double sextette of pretty girls
and handsome men in a sattrical street
Irritation. The catchy musical numbers
interspersed with comedy that is
whole some and clever follow one an
other in such rapid order, tina the in
terest is kept alive from the very start.
The cener is rich in coloring and
striking in its contrasts. and the cos
tunes of the principals and chorus har-
so as to produce the most
pleasing effects.

HEREDITARY APPENDICITIS.

Fifth Case in Ono Family Operated
Upon Thursday Afternoon.
The fifth case of appendicitis in n
family, occurring within a year, was
operated upon Thursday afternoon at
the home OF Mr.. and Mrs. James r.
Dunn, six miles northeast Of st. AM
thony. The fact is looked upon by the
medical profession as being quite re-
markable, and goes to demonstrate that
appendicitis, like other diseases, may
be in q way hereditary. A little over
a year ago Thomas Dunn, son of Mr..
and Mrs, Dunn, took suddenly Ill and
died. A month later Harry, another
son, was taken ill. and a laparotomy
was performed. resulting In the dis
covery of symptoms OF appendicitis.
together with q bad abcess. He also
died. Not long following this death
Miss Bridget Dunn submitted to an
operation for appendicitis, and follow
ing her her sister Dolly and brother
William underwent the same ordeal.
The last case, operated upon Thursday.
was that OF James u. Dunn, Jr. The
last four operations have been very
successful, and as there are no more in
the family, aside from the parents. the
trouble is thought to be over.

Audience Thursday Night.
AS a burlesque the tale OF Tracy the
Outlaw" as presented at the Odeon
Thursday night, would be q success
from a dramatic standpoint; as q melo-
drama 1t is a failure. What thread Of q
plot there nay be in the story Is largely
hidden from the audience in its presen-

out merit. and the entire production Is
too much Of q farce to be taken Sc
riously. The fair house, especially up-

Only One Hope for City.
Whv the Factory Was Closed.

why the racSory was SloSeos
MI. Chamberlain said that the only
product turned out from the factory in
this city was glucose, and that the bulk
Of 1t was marketed in England and
Europe. This was done at a loss, and
during the past two years an import
duty on glucose had been placed in
England, so that the attempt to manu-
facture glucose in this city and market
it in England would be impossible. The
market in the west and middle west was
limited. and was not of sufficient vol
ume to a k the output of all the plants
os the corporation that were making 1t.
For this reason the M~arshalltown plant,
which manufactured glucose alone, was
closed and the other plants at Peoria,
Rockford and Davenport, that manu-
featured sugar, starch and syrups, CON-
tinued to be operated. These factories.
he stated. were able tc more than sup-
ply the western demand for glucose.

A Murderous Tree.

The above title we'll describes the
peculiar habits Of tree found in the
tropical jungles of Cuba. j. W. nsr-
ris, in an exchange, describes the tree
as follows:
Il holds position in the forest sim
liar to that Of the devil fsh IN the
ocean. It is q sort Of bsnysn tree,
and when you see q well-grown one
waving its arms aloft and sending hun
dreds Of roots down to the ground,
you might never guess the arboYeal
tragedy by which it gained much of
its present position. When you find
the seed pods, or nuts, which fall from
its top, lying on the ground ell round
you might naturally suppose that this
hundred-legged giant had made an
honest start in life, from lowly be-
ginning, anu had laboriously risen to
its present height by its own patient
efforts, like other trees but il you
use your eyes to good purpose as you
walk through the forest. you will soon
find that, unlike other trees, this ras-
cal is not willing to start on the ground
and climb upwards; but, like some
human beings, takes advantage Of
what others have done. 1t starts in
life By finding lodging high up
among the branches of some other
tree. AS soon as it gets start by
feeding on the abundant moisture Of
the air and the substance which the
other tree has gathered, it begins to
send down its rope-like roots to seek
the ground. Those which reach the
earth soon strike out many branches
into the soil, and begin to bring up
nourishment to feed the growing tree,
which can no longer get food fact
enough by robbing it's unwilling sup
porter. But this is only the first
chapter, or our tree would only be a
robber. Many Of these roots in their
downward course, twine themselves
about the supporting tree, and, as they
grow stronger aud thicker, tighten
their hold until they crush out the
very life of the tree which first sup
ported them, and its deoaying trunk
becomes food for the ungrateful para
site which, starting life as thief,
has now become murderer.
