HULL RISES TO EXPLAIN.
Denies That There Was Any
Episode" Ever Heard of Until Brad :
en- Evolved II

Rev. Moses Hull pastor of the Spirit
ualists' church, addresses a communi-
cation to the T.-R. today in answer to
the resolutions passed at the Braden
Injecting for men only at Methodist
church Sunday night. Rev. Hull says
that there never was an alleged epi-
sode" between Mrs Woodruff and him
self, either in Boston or elsewhere;
that his letter that was published in the
Woodruff and Clafflln Weekly, which
was read at the meeting, was written in
May, 1873, and published the following
August. 1t must necessarily follow that
the crime spoken of was committed
some time before 1873. AS to Mr..
Bradens statement that he and Mrs.
Woodruff were driven out of Boston,
Mr. Hull says that Mrs. Woodruff never
left this country until 1876 or 1877, and
that he left Boston in 1881. Rev. Hull
further says:
The fact is, there was no episode
ever heard of until Mr.. Braden evolved
it out of his own inner consciousness,
the place where he gets many of his
facts.
Il will now say did write letter for
Woodruff and Clafiins Weekly. but not

SCHEDULE BEING ARRANGED.
High School Base Ball Team Being
Formed.

Ross Salisbury, assistant manager Of
1.-THE high school base ball team, ex
ipects to have the schedule of games
for the season completed in about two
weeks. The series for this spring viii
be the longest and hardest the team has
ever played and will include games
with the first and second teams of
the Iowa. State College, at Ames, ana
with Western College, Toledo. besides
a number Of high school games. North
wood, the only nine which was able TO
defeat the locals last year wants an
other game, and one will probably be
arranged. In case the good wea her
continues practice will commence next
Saturday. Early indications give prom
Use that there are to be more base bail
teams IN the city this year than ever
in Its history. A second high school
team has made its appearance, and un-
forms have been donated to 1t by the
business men. This nine is already N
practice. Each of the wards promises
to put nine in the field, if the gossip
of the Juvenile fans is to be relied
upon, so that probably every vacant 10.
in town will be dotted with players
working out before the season Is
very far advanced. 1t is safe to assert
that this impetus given the national
game IL almost entirely due to the
fact that this city is in the Iowa State
League and the youngsters have caught
the fever.

PLANS OF THE MANAGER
If the Citizens of MarshalItown and
Vicinity Will Purchase 1000 Course
Tickets at So Each a $1,000 chau.
tauqua Will Be Promoted-co- oper-
alton Is Urged.

The suggestion made by DR.. E B,
Jones that Marshalltown put on a first
class chautalIaua program this SUM-
mer has met with hearty response from
the club women and business men Of
the city. He has appeared before sew
erat womens clubs to outline his plans
in detail and has always received the
strongest kind of encoura cement The
business and professional men have
listened to his plans, have endorsed
them and a committee has been APP
pointed to raise the necessary guarart-
tee.
DIR. Jones proposes TO put on q nine
days course of twenty-one OR more dis
tinct entertainments. consisting of tall
ent with national regulations. Excur-
sions will be run and immense crowds
brought into the city. If the citizens
will purchase 1000 course tickets at
81 each, he will make contracts for q
chautauqua costing not less than $4,000,
which will be equal to any chautauqua
ever presented in this state.
DR.. Jones proposition TO the public,
with the endorsement of the women and
the business men Is as follows:
The project of maintaining and oper-
ating a summer chautauqua assembly
in Marshalltown is now before the pub
lie for cooperation. 1t is proposed to
present subjects of curren. popular in
terest, such as the negro and labor
problems the trust and tariff in poll
ties and topics literary and education
al, together with musical and entertain
ing features.
The value of such an enterprise in It's
moral. educative and business adYan-
tages to MslTshaIitown is obvious. It
will be an inspiration to the youth. and
educatfve to all. 1t is proposed to ar
range excursions by rail from several
points, and business concerns of the
city may expect as large an assembly
from neighboying towns as barbecue
day procured.
To maintain such an enterprise the
management asks for the subscription
of 1000 tickets al 81 each; guaranteeing
in return the successful operation of
such an assembly for the period of nine
days, making ii equal If not better, to
any chautauaua in the state.

Hove for New schoo, Baliding.

The school trustees of district No l held meeting last Monday afternoon and decidsd to call mass meeting of the qualified voters, of Yuma. on Thursday, August 11th. The object be- ing for discussion and consideration of the proposition of selling the pres ent school building and grounds and fix price for the same. It is the in tention Of the board to use the proceeds of the sale in the erection of new-, commCdiOus and up-to-date school building On block 1l4, owned by the district, between Second and Third avenues and Third and Fourth streets. Plans and estimates are being pre- pared for the new building, the prob able cost of which will be in the neighborhood of $20,000. As matter of fact the present school property is not suitable for school purposes, neither as to location or character of building, which is also much too small for the growing town and consequent increas- ing school population; but nevertheless it is valua ble for business purposes, and the board will have no trouble in disposing of it at good figure. It is estimated to be worth S20, eco, and this value is none too high.

Age Of London Bridge.

London Bridge will be seventy-three years cid on August 1st, for it was on that date 1881 that it was formally opened by the King and Queen of Eng land. The famous American remedy, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, is TOW in it's Dist year, being first introduced in 1853, and when you consider the fact that it has been before the public con- tinuously all those years you must real iZe the merit it contains, without which it would have failed long ago. Today, however, finds it more popular than ever, especially among men and women who suffer from poor appetite, cramps, nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea, dyspepsia, indigestion, constipation or malaria. Don't fail to try it. The genuine has our Private Stamp over the neck of the bottle.
