LOCAL COMMENT

The .sbig show" has come and gone,
the small boy has spent his money,
saved for weeks, and is now dreaming
of other circuses to come. The steiner
duties Of the school room, are now en-
crossing the attention of the young
sters, as school has begun in earnest,
under conditions said to be most fav-
orable.
The attendance at the recent Barnum
& Bailey show is an indication Of the
way people in Marshall county feel
over the prospects for a bounteous
crop. The circus showed to about 49,
500 people in two performances, in this
city, and it has been estimated that
anywhere from $4,000 to $4,000 was
spent by the patrons. 1t is a lot of
money for amusement, and yet it is
willingly spent, for good circus, once
year, has grown to be almost a neces-
sity. A big circus takes a great deal
of money out of a town and leaves a
good sum with certain classes of bust
ness. If the farmers and business men
did not anticipate a good crop. and
easy money, it is not likely the circus
would have Jared so we'll. The same
conditions have prevailed turnout Iowa
this season, says the press representa-
tive of the show, and in each Iowa town
on the shows route, capacity has been
played to at the afternoon performance.
In Marshalltown people were turned
away at the afternoon performance
to the extent of between 500 and 1000
There were not seats, excepting at the
highest prices, to accommodate the de-
mand.
The illustrated supplement showing
the pictures Of "The Men Who Make
the Times-Republican," proved of great
interest to people of this city, for few
ever realized how many workers were
necessary to the making Of a large
newspaper. In it's employment the T.
r. is one Of the large industrial insti-
buttons of the town. More than this,
however, a newspaper is always per-
sonal representative of 81 town and it is
a source of qualification to the men
who make the T.-R. that the people of
Marshalltown thinks so we'll of it.
In connection with the paper and its
standing among advertisers a little in
cident that came to the notice of the
city force on circus day is worth re-
peating for the benefit Of other adver-
tisers. A few weeks ago, Mr.. w. d.
Coxey, general contracting press agent
of the Barnum & Bailey show, visited
Marshalltown to place his advertising
contracts. Mr. Coxey is considered one
Of the shrewdest advertising men in the
business and knows a good paper when
he sees one. To the T.-R. he confessed
on his own volition that he never was
so surprised in his life. to find in a
town the size Of Marshalltown, news
paper of the size. circula ton and bust
ness standing of the T.-R. To Mr.. Dan
S. Fishell, press agent with the show,
Mr.. Coxey wrote, that he might know
what to do while here: Treat the
Times Republican as you would city
paper" Words like these cannot help
please the men who make the T.-R., for

Case Of g. II. Shaw VS.. the City coun-
oil of MarshaItown, Disposed OF by
JUDGE caswell-AppeaI Will Prob
ably Be Taken to the Supreme
court--shaw Wanted to Be City
Clerk, and Asked Writ of Manda'
mus.

The soldiers preference law, which IS
,,n for a decision in several Iowa coun-
ties, received it's first severe bloN to-
day in the district court of this &C lnty
when Judge Caswell declared tn law
unconstitutional in sustaining tn. de-
murrer of City Solicitor G. H. V.'n Law
It is likely the case will be eealeu
to the supreme court, and that SINH
1ar actions pending in other counties
of the state will be continued untll
decision is handed down by the higher
tribunal.
The case which Judge casweil
gives his decis is that of G. II. SHAW
VS.. the city Council of Marshalltown,
asking a writ Of mandamus to compei
the council to appoint him city CLERK
instead Of L. Derby, the appointee OF
the council last spring. Captain
shaw made the demand on the counch
under the provisions of the new law
granting a preference to honorably dis
charged soldiers of the civil war, in sae
appointment to public positions.
To the petition of Captain Shaw Guy
Solicitor G. H. Van Law filed de-
rnurrer. on the ground that the new law
was unconstitutional, in that 1t vlo~
lated section 6, article l, constitution
OF Iowa; section l, article !, constltu-
i+ion of Iowa: and section l, of the 14th
amendm emit to the constitution OF the
United States. A statutory ground
was alst, cited, but it was not OF SO
much consequence.
There were but the four assignments
IA the city's demurrer, and Judge Cas-
well sust ained the demurrer as a whole
He spent about fifteen minutes this
atternoon in giving his ruling. Class
legislation is the view taken by the
SQUIRT, in reference to the new law, and
because it is declared TO be class leg
islation, the court holds the law uncon-
stitutional Judge Caswell said that
he himself was one of many who might
De DeuSlltGu Ny Lie 40 W. ASA ~ ''SsS -
soldier Of the civil war. 1t might nat
urally b. expected that he would con-
slider the. matter carefully, for he would
be anxious to do everything possible
for the benefit of his comrades. He
could not see, however, how the law
could be possibly construed as consti-
tutional, altho he realized that there
might be difference Of opinion among
turists. He considered that had it not
been for race legislation, which in real
ity was class legislation. there would
have been no civil war, and therefore
no need for the law passed by the last
assembly. II the law, as he under
stands it, is class legislation. and he
firmly believes it is, it must necessarily
be unconstitutional.
The attorney for Captain Shaw, the
plaintiff in the case, when asked this
afternoon whether or not he would ap-
peal, said that the matter Of an appeal
had not been determined as yet.

Small Audience Listens to English So
cialIstic Speaker Last Night.
An audience of about 100 sympathiz-
ers Of the socialistio movement, and
members of the Socialists Club, list
ened to the address given by John
Spargo, socialistic campaigner, at
the east court room Friday night.
Spargo was introduced by DR.. A. B.
Van Sickle. He spoke for over all
hour, and devoted most of his time to
arraigning the leading parties for al
legged shortcomings, and failure to full
fill campaign promises. Spargo could
scarcely be termed socialist Of the
radical type, but his address teemed
with. denouncing the existing evils OF
society rather than pointing out a
remedy.

After Vacation.

Just as it is harder to set ball inE
motion than to keep it in motion it is
harder to take up any line of work
again, after the summer vacation, than
to keep on with it.
The effects Of the strain are seen in
changed looks, diminished appetite and
broken sleep.
Now is time wh,o many-clerks,
bookkeepers, teachers, pupils and 9TH
ers-.should take tonic, and we think
the best is Hoods Sarsaparilla, which
acts on the whole system, builds it up,
and wards off sickness.
