holders, to be Circulated and Pre-
sented to Councils - Conrad and

General Manager T.. A. Ferrin. OF the
Marshalltown Electric, Street ~ inter
urban Railway Company, accompanied
by other members of the company, eX-
poets to go to Grundy Center tomorrow
to start the work necessary to the cir
culation Of the petition of resident
freeholders in that city, asking for .
per cent tax upon the taxable value OF
the property in the town, to aid the
road in building between Marshalltown
and Grundy.
few days in Conrad and Beaman and
it is expected that the petitions in the
three places will be in circulation at
the same time. The manner of pro-
cedure in each is the same as here, as
the law requires. Petitions are to be
circulated and signed by resident free
holders, asking the councils of the diff
ferent towns to call special elections to
aid the company in building: in other
words. to assume public equity in
the property. The tax is payable the
same as in this city, in March and Sep
TENDER of 1906 and 1907. divided into
two payments for each year. and is not
due and payable unless the road is
completed and in operation by Dec. 81,
1905. In Grundy Center the taxable
value of the real property is between
$500, 900 and 100000, which will yield
between $4,000 and $4,000 as the equi
ty that the public will hold. This
amount. rs is the case here. is payable
to the taxpayers in certificates of stock.
issued in shares OF 500 each. The
work in the other three towns will not
take so long to complete as it did here,
for the reason that there Is less ground
to cover. In Marshalltown the step
was an initiative one. and work could
not begin in the remaining towns until
it was absolutely certain that the tax
would carry here. 1t is necessary for
a notice of ten days to be given after
the councils order the elections. until
the elections can be held. but the entire
work should be completed within 4
few weeks time.
Word from ]. G. White & CO.. New
York, is expected soon. relative to the
beginning of the survey. White & Co.
have had an ASSIGNMENT for q corps Of
engineers ready for some time await
ing the outcome of the election In
Marshalltown. The complete informa-
ton. by mail. of the status OF the stu
alton In Marshalltown. resulting from
the election. should have reached the
New York firm Thursday evening.

Iect,,re on Radiur,.

An audience numbering about 2oo
gathered at the Methodist church
Thursday evening to witness the tests
and demonstrations given by Profes-
sor w. b. Patty with radium, liquid
air and wireless telegraphy. In some
respects the lecture was disappoint-
ment. no demonstrations We're given
with the radium, the reflections OF It's
light only being shown to the audlenca :.
Owing to the batteries being out or
order nothing could be done with the
wireless teiegraphy outfit. The exem-
plificat,ns of the strange uses ana
powers of liquid air were well shown.
The Erworth League, under whose
auspices the lecture was put on. re-
allied nothing by the undertaking.

Doctor Whom Coffee Was the Hidden

Doctor Whom Coffee Was the Hidden
Cause.
II was a moderate coffee drinker for
forty-fiye wears and never knew or be-
lieyed coffee was as strong poison for
me as it turned out to be. About three
years ago l began to suffer with my
heart and stomach. and altho l TOOK
several kinds of medicine. also house
remedies. / would feel little better
and then get worse again In this way
/ kept on until in 1888 my constitution
broke down entirely.
"In the next three years employed
ten prominent physicians OF South
Bend. Niles, Buchanan and Valparaiso,
gave each one fair trial, but no two
of the ten doctors had the same opin-
ion Of my disease The first one said !
had tobacco heart: the second said the
nerves of the heart We're weak; the
third said it was a tumor in my stom-
ach and could not live long; the
fourth said it was my stomach ana
leading blood vessels and there was no
hone for me: the fifth said my heart
and liver were enlarged: the sixth SAID
the inner coat OF the aorta was rup-
tured and my life would be very short;
the seventh said it was all in the back
of nv head; when l told the eighth
what the seventh said he did not give
me his opinion: the ninth doctor said
he would straighten me up, but he did
not do it. the tenth one said it was my
stomach. / received some little bene-
fit from him. then l stopped employing
physicians and tried patent medicines.
but found no relief.
81 never had any pains with the ex-
ception of a slight one in the heart re-
gion, but was very nervous and was so
weak that at times l could scarcely
walk across the floor. Sometimes when
/ laid down my nerves would shake so
hard it would shake the bed so that

eleventh doctor. who strictly forbade
coffee and medicine and advised me to
drink nothing but Postum, which OF
course / did at once. The first four
weeks l did not feel much better, but
after that began to feel the effects OF
Postum and kept on improving.

good appetite, sleep well, have steady

whole trouble was undoubtedly coffee
