LOCAL COMMENT

40 one has been able to observe at
least from Newspaper accounts. that
any great notice was paid to members
lot the Marshall county delegation at
/ the recent democratic state convention.
| Can 1t be that Marshall county leaders
IRE not in good standing, or is Mar
shall county SO hopeiessiy republican
| that honors 10 her democrats are not
considered?
This was not the case at the re-
publican state convention, so far as
Marshall county was concerned In
/ fact. Marshall county got really more
than her share. N. S. ketchum was
nominated as railroad commissioner.
| Governor Packard was honored with
! the Fifth district vice presidency: and
| George r. Estabrook was elected Sec
rotary OF the state central committee.
Marshall county is going to have a big
representation on the different state
tickets this fall. and with Mr.. Ket-
| chums nomination there is one who
will be victorious.
! Half Lemon Pye controversy over
| baptism would probably prove as APP
| petizing to the public as Hull-Pye
splritualist debate.
Judging by the number from this
city who are registering to participate
in the governments big lottery In
South Dakota, Marshalltown will be
we'll represented, providing one out of

who have taken the initial steps to-

Young man has prepared for chicken
hunt on his land and is trying to as
certain whether or not he will have to
pay a license, being a nonresident
and at the same time Il free-holder.
Marshalltown is to have another
trolley day next week, for the benefit
of the Railroad Y. M. G. A Young
ladies will collect fares and give as
change their most winsome smiles.
Trolley day this year promises to
eclipse the initial venture which was Il
huge success.
Council Bluffs physicians have band
ed together In an agreement whereby
they have raised rates for night visits.
Heretofore in Council Bluffs the doc

rates for night calls as for those in the
daytime. Since the rate has been rails
ed they are getting more sleep, for
people with trivial ailments. who
would ordinarily call physicians now
grin and bear it, until after day
light. MarsEalltown physicians learn
ed this lesson long ago. and are now
seriously considering charging for adj |
vice given over the telephone, by peo-
pie who in that manner avoid calls.
