GET ABOARD A TROLLEY
Sixty Young Women OF the
City to Act as Street Car
Conductors
GENERAL PICNIC DAY FOR CITY
Program at Cottage Grove Park In the
Afternoon Will Be Worth Listening
to-Two Band Concerts, Afternoon
and Evenins-A Chance TO Hear Or.
Jones' Celebrated Speech.

Tomorrow is trolley day in MarShail-
town, and incidentally general picnic
for the city. No one walks tomorrow,
and there will be no need Of horses or
matter whether you are going half
block or are trying to get your money S
worth out of the corporation. In fact
there is but one corporation tomorrow,
and that is the Railroad Y. NJ. c. A.
Every penny taken in by the sixty
young ladies, who are to act as con-
ductors, will go into the Y. NJ. c. A.
building fund, the Marshalltown Light,
Power & Railway company having do
mated the use of its system for one day,
When one thinks of a days receipts
from the street cars, he is not inclined
to consider what they would amount to
if the line Is well patronized. Two
years ago, during the carnival when
the city was filled with strangers. street
car receipts for one day were Sl,20O.
They should be larger even than that
tomorrow, for the cause is worthy
one, and every one in Marshalltown is
anxious to see new Y. NJ. c. A.
building. Each person can help by his
mite, and the mite wanted tomorrow Is
his street car fare.
The program at Cottage Grove park,
in the afternoon, will be worth listening
to. Aside from the musical numbers
those who are present will be privi-
legged to hear DR.. Elijah Brown Jones'
celebrated lecture on John Brown and
His Work" which is considered by
critics to be one of the very best of his
large repertoire. The lecture is one
filled with pathos and patriotism, inter-
es;ing as romance. and is drawn true
to the political history of those stir
ring days when one of the strangest
and most interesting characters mag

their rides. Those who will pull the

Residents of North First Ave-
nue. Petition Council to Put
Down Pavement
WILL ADVERTISE BRICK BIDS
Delayed Paving of West Main, North
Second Avenue, Byron and North
Streets Comes Up at an Adjourned
Meeting Monday Nioht-To Receive
Bids Aug. 3-To Abate Nuisances.

It was hard scratching to
6et quorum for the adj
Journed meeting of the council Mon
day night, Messrs. Arnold, Greene.
Psenicka and Webster being absent,
and 1t was nearly 8 o'clock before the
sixth member put in appearance, and
the members got down to business. A
new precedent was established before
the council Monday night. when Coun-
Gilman Ingledue, of the First ward, pre-
scented a petition signed by forty prop
erty owners on North First avenue, be-
tween skirnnt and Lincoln, asking that
a resolution be passed authorizing the
paving of First avenue between the
streets named. So unusual was the
procedure that 1t nearly took away the
breath of some of the members.
The petition was signed by eleven
property owners, w. A. Anderson, f. A.
Gillette. Mary j. Eads, j. G. Armstrong.
w. Battin, L. s. Gantz. John T. Epson.
Louisa Johnson, j. G. Wentherby, Helen
Drubse and n. c. Nelson estate, by c.
w. Nelson, agent. The petition adds
that the street is poorly drained as 1t is
at present, and Is continually covered
with surface water after heavy rains.
The property owners want to get rid
of the difficulty, and are willing to pay
for the improvement. Asphalt Is spec
flied by two of those signing the petit
ton. but the others signify no prefer
ence. The petition was referred to the
committee on streets and alleys.
The brick paving that has been de-
layed from time to time, came up for
consideration, and resulted in the plans
and specifications being adopted after
an amendment striking out the word
''repressed' as referring to the kind of
brick to be used. The council is of the
opinion that repressed vitrified paving
brick are no better than others that
may be secured. and the fact that the
specifications call for depressed brick
ehuts out competition of bidders who
could furnish equally as good and serv-
jceable material. The streets to be
paved with brick are North Second
avenue from Byron to Riverside
street: Byron street: North street
from the alley west to First street, and
West Main from the end of the present

WILL IMPROVE SANITATION.
Old Lavatores in High School, Building
to be Put in First Class Condition.

The school board has become con-
vinced that the lavatories in the base
ment of the high school building need
immediate attention, and as result at
their adjourned meeting Monday even
ing, took steps to remedy the existing
evils. and make the necessary altera-
tons and repairs, so that the work may
be completed by the time the fall term
opens. Monday night, for the first time
as whole. the school board inspected
the lavatories and found them to be

ventilation was found to be anything
but perfect. and the sanitary condition
poor.

reported favorably on the petition OF
residents of Bromley street and Fourth
avenue. asking that a sewer be con-
structed leading from the corner OF
Fourth avenue and Bromley and empty
ing into the. general sewer at Lawrence
street The estimated cost of the sewer
is $3.50. Mr.. Kreutzer thought the First
ward was getting too many sewers,
while he was unable to obtain the
proper facilities in his own ward. He
amended the motion to adopt the re-
port, by deferring it until the next
meeting. Mr.. Henry accepted the
amendment. but stated in connection
chat there We're less sanitary sewers in
the First ward than any other in the
city. aside from the Fifth.
Mr. Good, streets and alleys, reported
number of walks in bad condition,
noticeably one on South Second street,
in front of F. c. Ducane's property.
He recommended that the walk be re-
laid at the city's expense, as the city
had been at fault in laying 1T below
grade. The same condition prevails
with brick walk at the corner of Cen
ter and Linn. The city engineer was
instructed to inspect thsm at once with
reference to grade and action was de-
ferred until the next meeting.

Cattle receipts at Kansas City last

pared with 1867 head the correspond.
ing week last year. At this time a
year ago receipts at all the markets
were small and prices advancing. This
year all the markets have had heavy
supplies and prices are s1.75 to st.9O
lower than a year ago on fat steers.
Light and medium to thin heifers de.
clined sharply last week. but stockers
and feeders showed little change.
Western fed steers brought from $3.50
to s4.95, and western stockers and
feeders from $500 to s4.45. Some Col.
orado cows, weighing 1,O96 pounds.
sold Tuesday at $3.50. Receipts since
the middle Of last week have been
light. with a beneficial effect on prices.
Today the run is light at 5000 head.
and the general market was from
strong to 10 cents higher than Friday.

against 1898 the same week last year.
The run was mostly Texas grass stuff,
which closed the week a trile under
the beginning. Lambs were scarce all
week, and not nearly enough for the
packers wants. The runs today was
large at IL 1000 head, but the market
opened up with surprising activity.
Texas and Arizona grass sheep were
strong today, and western lambs 10
cents higher. Mr.. Forder of La Junta
again topped the market with some IS
pound wooded lambs, at $3.50. A bunch
of Kansas fed westerns, 70 pounds,
also brought $3.50. Clipped Colorados
