tinues to number as many players, but
there is expected to be a falling Off
as the work advances. The schedule
for games still remains incomplete. and
the management is encountering diff
culties in filling all the dates.
The Ames game for next Saturday
has been Cancelled, owing to the Ames
eleven not being eligible to play UNI
der the rules of the High School Prin-

lice information concerning his SON,
Arnold II. Lura, who will be Is years
of age on December 5, and who has tfr-
ed of farm life at home and left We'd
nesday night to see the big world. Mr..
Lura says says that he knows of but
one reason why his son should have
run away, and that is that he has
become dissatisfied with his wages, and
wants more money to spend. The son
has been working for his father, but as
the young man was inclined to be a
spendthrift the father, cut his spend
ing allowance down, and bought all of
the necessities of life for him. This has
disgruntled youn Lura. who has become
tired of home and thinks he can do bet

Young Lura was last seen by his
father a week ago Saturday, when he
accompanied him from Roland to Nc

Mangel Wurzel From Andrews Farm
Weighs Nearly Fifteen Pounds.
Potatoes are not the only Marshal'
county crop that appears to be OF enor-
nous proportions this season. Beets
have come in for their share of praise
and a variety of the mangel Wurzel,
on display at the Finkle barn, shows
that the famous stock beet has been
raised with success at least on the An
drews farm. west of the city. At the
Finkle barn, i'm the window, where
there are on display, several large po-
tatoes as a center piece there is shown
an immense mangel wurzel, weighing
fourteen pounds ten ounces. The beets
are used as stock feed. and assist ma
terially with the use of grain, in feed
ing.
Apples have also grown to immense
sizes in Marshall county. Mrs. Eliza
Hollingsworth has brought to the T.
r. samples of fruit grown on her place.
Apples measuring from foot to fir
teen inches in circumference are not
at all uncommon.

Grand Army Men Claim That In New

Caswell.
Assistant Adjutant General Newman
of the department of Iowa, q. A. H., Is

case will be appealed to the supreme
court at once by the q. A. H. MT.

other states, of which he learned willis

the national G. A. r. at Boston.
while attending the encampment az
Boston," says Mr.. Newman, had a
conference with James G. Kay, OF
Brooklyn, who originated the idea OF
the soldier preference law and has
done more to get the principle estab-
lished in various states than any 9TH
err. He assures me that the law In
New York state, for which he is large
ly responsible, has been tested before
the supreme court there in Its every
nossilole rhase and has been sustained
In every respect. In that state various
lower courts at first declared it uncon-
stitutlonal. In Kansas a law similar
to Iowa was declared null by lower
court and on appeal the supreme court
decided the law was all right. In that
case, as in Iowa, the test came on
matter Of appointment of city clerk.
We would have preferred that the test
would come on case where 1t was
sought to remove an old soldier, but
the principle is the same. We have no
doubt that the law will be sustained
by the Iowa supreme court"

MAY FIND GAS.
Ex- Sheriff Shoemaker Thinks His
Kansas Farm Will Prove Bonanza.

Ex- Sheriff Shoemaker Thinks His
Kansas Farm Will Prove Bonanza.
Ex-.Sheriff T. J. Shoemaker, Of this
city, who invested in a large farm in
Labette county, Kansas, near Oswego,
is of the opinion that his land may
prove bonanza, because Of natural
gas and oil. What is said to be the
largest gas well ever drilled west OF
the Mississippi river, has just been
completed at a point ten miles south
west Of the Shoemaker farm, on land
owned by Bengt johnson. The well has
been tested and has been found to reg
lister 31,203,30O cubic feet Of gas daily.
A large sum has been offered Mr..
Johnson for his farm, which has been
leased to operators at big royalty.
Gas has also been found in other d.
rections from the Shoemaker farm.
Two miles northwest gas is found in
paying quantities. also seven miles
north, seven miles northeast, and thres
miles west. South Of the Shoemaker
farm, eight miles, five gas wells have
been drilled, and two oil wells sunk.
The latter are producing thousands OF
barrels daily. Mr.. Shoemaker will
prospect on his farm for gas and Oil,
and is confident Of finding either one
or both, in view of the fact that both
have been found on land that is SO
near his farm.

MEMORIAL TO HIS SON
George A. Turner Will Spend $1,000 in
Equipping the New Railroad Y. M. G.
A. Building With Finest Swimming
Pool in the State.

AS a memorial to his son. Frank.
George A Turner, will make it possible
for the basement of the new Railroad
Y. M. G. A. building, when completed,
to contain the finest swimming pool in
the state. When completed and ready
for use, the water will reflect white
marble, glistening, polished nickel, and
snowy tile.
The dimensions Of the pool will not
be changed, but its walls and ledge will
be covered with marble and tile. The
retaining ledge, which rises above the
floor about foot, will be covered, both
inside and out, with marble, and cop
ing of the same will extend inward six
inches from either edge. The space
along the top between the marble will
be tiled. The walls retaining the water
will be tiled to a depth Of forty inches
below the water, with white tile, and all
around the pool, just above the water
will be nickel grasping rail. Ladders
of polished nickel will give access to
the pool from both ends. The pool will
bear a memorial tablet. The improve
ments will make the pool a most des1r-
able pace in which to swim, and the
cost will approximate about $1,000. Mr..
Turner originally subscribed $500 to
the building fund, but offers to increase
it for the purpose described, as MEM
orial to his son, Frank.
