but with hundred or less votes cast,
as sometimes occurs, the chances for
strange things yes, queer things to
happen, become very great Monday IS
election day and every parent can i'll
afford to neglect the duty of casting a
vote. Two good men, in the persons OF
a. A. Moore and A. CT. Click. are seek
ing reelection, or rather have been
forced to ask a recollection. II any one
bears such a grudge that he can not
support one of these candidates let him

should see that their own votes are
registered on Monday.
The work Of securing signatures to
the petitions for the interurhan railroad
tax goes merrily on. A few objections
are made. but with scarcely no eNcep-
tons the people are signing the petit
tons. 1t has been feared. howver that
there is some slight misunderstanding
of the situation. The tax proposed of
per cent is not upon the full value of
the property of the citizens. Under the
laws of Iowa the taxable value of the
property is fixed AT one fourth its ac-
tual value and it is upon the taxable
value that the tax is proposed To be
levied Again the tax viii be levied but
one year, that Will be for the year 1906.
1t may be paid however, in four pay
ments, April 1906. September 1906,
April 1907 and September 1907. The |
law OF Iowa compels the company to
issue shares of its capital stock to the |
holders of receipts for taxes paid in I
OF 500, or multiples of that |
sum. The certificates issued to tax |
payers for the amount of the taxes paid |
are transferable. and 1t Is usual for the |
citizens to transfer these certificates TO I
one of their number until an even I
amount of 500 has been reached, when [
a share of stock will be issued to the in |
dividual holding these certificates. The I
will be organized with but one |
class of stock, and the shares issued to
tax payers will be exactly the same I
character and value as the shares held |
by other investors. These shares VIII |
be fully paid and non -assessabe. The |
question Is now beings asked, what
would be the amount of the per cent
tax in aid OF the interurban railway
upon real estate of the value of $1,000
The answer is $3.50 The assessable
value OF $1,000 is $3.50; the 8 per cent
tax on this is $3.50. The semi annual
payment of taxes, of two payments each
year, makes the $3.50 payable in four
payments of $1.S7ia each.

Prohibitionists Will Not Place
Party Ticket In the Com
ing City Election
TO SUPPORT INDEPENDENTS
Differences Between Prchibtionists
and Home Protection Candidates Are
Aired, But Truce is Declared-WiIl
Favor independent Candidates Be-
Iieved to Be Loyal to Prohibition In
terestss

While in hall above a band strug-
gled blatantiy to extract melodies from
certain airs, about score of the third
party workers, assembled in the office
of the Iowa Prohibitonist for the an
nounced purpose of placing a city tick
ct in the field, reconsidered their de-
termination and adjourned after avow !.
ing to support such independent can
didates as had already announced who
were believed to be true to the cause.
The differences that have existed be-
tween the prohibition faction and a
home proteetionists" We're aired and
the discussion had largely to do with
the determination that it was unwise
to name a party ticket.
Motions We're carried whereby the
prohibitionists as individuals were re-
quested TO support candidates for the
council from each ward. All but one of
these candidates have announced in
dependently, and three of them We're
named on the ticket of the home pro-
teetionists. They are as follows:
First ward-R. r. Waterbury.
Second Ward-lDr W. S. Devina
Third ward-G. w. Calhoun.
Fourth ward-Myron F. Wiltse
Fifth ward-Charles Wassmer.
Sixth ward-John A. Sieg, and F. W.
Iseman.
OF this list Mr. Calhoun Is the only
one who has not already been put up,
either by petition or party movement,
and he WAS requested to run indepen-
IDENTIFY, a motion to that effect being
carried unanimously. Wiltse, in the
Fourth, is candidate on the socialist
ticket, while Waterbury, Wassmer and
Sieg, were slated on the home protec-
ion ticket
No platform was adopted, altho one
vas presented and read. 1t lacked only
n uni,nportant details from being iden-
ical wifi, that of the home projections
SITS" For that reason r. r. Water
bury objected 10 Ii as being ursurped
rom that party and asked an explana
ion. This was given by Rev. o. d.
Elicit, who accused the home protec-
ion candidates of boiling the plat
orm, and accused them of sacrificing
heir moral standing for the sake of
,olicy in the hope that they might
rin. This was denied vigorously by |
9th WI Irvine and Charles Wassmer, |
andidates who We're nominated on the |
,lltform With the prohibition plank. |
Thru the efforts OF Warren Howard the |
actions were brought closer together, |
md the understanding was reached |
hat the campaign was too far advanced
o warrant placing a strictly party |
icket in the field. As consiliatory |
MEASURE the motions. which amount to
practical endorsement for the indie |
,endent candidates, were passed.

Directors For Independent Dis
trict of Marshalltown to
Be Chosen Monday
VOTE AT NO. WEST MAIN
Polls Will Open at O'clock and Close
at Two Directors and a Treasurer
to EIect-Resular School Tax Levy
to Come Before the Voters at That
Time.

The annual school election will be
held next Monday at the vacant build
ing at 1 West Main. Two directors.
enc for the regular term and the other
for the unexpired term of one year,
are to be elected. There will also come
before the voters the usual tax levy for
school house purposes. which. this
year, is in the shape of a levy for So
coo. The polls will open at 8 o'clock,
and will close at Z.
MIR. A. G.. Click, a present director.
is the only candidate for the full term,
to succeed himself. Mr.. Click has
made valuable member of the school
board, and there is no opposition what
ever to his election. Mr.. A. "A. Moore.
who is probably as we'll known as any
business man in Marshalltown, is q
candidate to succeed himself for the
short time, or the remainder OF the I'M
expired term caused by the resignation
of f. Il. Nicholson. Mr.. Moore was
chosen by the board to fill the unex-
Fireu term, anu was ttpi'oileSo q AS"
months ago. effective until election.
The only opposition to Mr.. Moore is D.
NJ Hostetter.
1t is hoped that the people of Mar
shalltown, and especially parents and
who are vitality interested in
the welfare of Marshalltown's public
school system, will evinee enough in
terest to vote Monday. The present
board. which has been careful and
most conservative at all times could
not be improved upon, and it is not
well to make experiments, especially in
school elections.
A treasurer is also to be elected to
succeed Harry Gerhart. H. S. Law
renee is the only candidate.

D., who was chosen to manage and
captain the Marshalltown team of the
Iowa State League, and who has now
about completed the work of signing
the PLAYERS, is an old Western Assoc
citation player. He first became prOmi-
nent as a second baseman while with
the Rockford, ILL.,, team of the Western
Association, where he played during
the seasons of 1896, '97 and SO. When
that league disbanded in 1899 he went
to Sioux Falls, S. D., and since that
time has been playing manager OF the
Sioux Falls team of the South Dakota
Iowa League. Warner made the Sioux
Falls "Canaries" famous and won the
league pennant each year excepting
last season. The Sioux Falls team dis
banded at the close of the season. and
Warner was secured by Marshalltown.
AS player Warner has always led the
second basemen Of the South Dakota
Iowa League in fielding and is a sure.

MYERS WOULD BET $50
Will Wager That Amount That Wa


keTIOC beats TOTI bOO9c.
The rivalry between Waterloo and
Fort Dodge, for honors in the Iowa
State Base Ball League, is beginning
to become very evident. and it is safe
to predict that considerable money
will change hands on the result of
the games standing of the teams. etc,
after the season once opens. Mana
ger ]. w. Myers, of the Waterloo team,
is ready to bet $50 that Waterloos
team will lead Fort Dodge at the end
OF the first, second or third month or
at the end of the season. This offer
came about thru the bluff of Wa
terloo fan" who, while in Fort Dodge
recently offered to wager similar
amount that Waterloo would chase
Fort Dodge to the tall timber" as soon
as the season began. Fort Dodge fol-.
lowers had their money up so quickly
that it took the Waterloo mans breath
away. and he finally weakened and re-
fused to bet. Myers seems to have the
confidence the other one lacked.

exhibitions are for the patrons, and the
children and pupils are invited to come

necessary on account of the lack of

getting but a glimpse OF the work. For
that reason all children, excepting those
chosen TO help. and babes in arms. will
not be admitted in the evening. The

Of washing it away The idea adj
vanced in the council year ago by
Mr. Ingledue that some good woman
would make the best kind of health
officer and would see that the streets
and alleys are cleaned, is a good one.

a good salary for a few months or I'M

looked after before warm weather sets
in. Much spring sickness may be
avoided If the precautions of cleanli
ness are taken.
For the first time in the history of
Iowa so far as known, water is being
sold as a common commodity, in the
city of Waterloo. People of that place
are afraid to use the city water. owing
to the prevalence of typhoid, and a few
men who own deep wells have a boz /
nanza. Water is peddled out each
morning to regular customers. at so
