The locals almost won the last game
almost. perhaps, maybe-1 don't
| think" Those rampany Fort Dodgers,
goaded to madness by the thought OF
| the past two trimmings, and the pres
ence of 500 of the city's fair sex,
climbed all over those would-be exui-
tant athletes, and beat them to i.
At the same time the locals climbed
held the pennant chasers down to sew
en- swats, while Hurst was damned
and pasted fourteen times, including the
one for three bases, when Jones dis
lodged his false teeth, and spit them
out all the way from the rubber to
third, SO great was his joy and the
force of his outgoing breath.
The clover leaf proved tickle spon-
sor for its power for good was as short
as its out greenness. That there may
be no mistakes, however. about the
scoring stunt of the first inning, It
should be noted that yesterdays was
the first session OF the series wherein
There was too much feminine beauty
there for the tickle Grays. and their
thoughts were in the grand stand, when
they should have been glued on Eubank,
as he unwound in the box. AS re-
suit they hit like the visitors did on
the day before, dinky little swats that
popped up to the infield. or skied out
the outfield.
The visitors started in by accumu-
lating three in the first time up, on
Franks and Collins singles and Jones
triple. They were aided in this by 81
pass and Burson's sacrifice. They add
ed another in the second, on two two
baggers, then for second Hurst stood
them off. tho they threatened several
times. They broke away, however, in
the seventh, with two. started by AL
berts missing Collins hit and two
swats. Three singles and a pass net
ted three more in the eighth and the
carnage was over. During all this time
altho the locals had made desperate ef-
forts, there was but little doing. Wilson
was the prize hitter of the pack. but
his efforts were wasted. The single
tally came in the fourth, by Eubank
passing Metcalf, and his scoring on
Williams hit. In the first they surged
as far as third, but the spell was brok-
en- and there was nothing doing. Twice
after that they reached second, only to

LOCAL COMMENT

The next time Marshailtown
"knocker" says that there are 500 emp
ty houses in this towr. someone should
call him liar, and then run. In the
month of June the Times Republican
completed a house to house subscrip-
ton canvass of every street in the city.
There is now on file In this office de-
tailed map of the streets of everyone of
our eighteen carrier boys routes show
ing the location of every dwelling
house, and SO marked as to indicate
whether that house gets a daily T.-R.,
semi weekly T.-R., whether 1t gets
neither one or whether it is empty. The
total census shows just 2,725 residences
In Marshalltown, 22S of which are emp
~. The solicitors, who We're men Of
good business Judgment, We're instruc-
ted to size UP the empty houses as they
worked, and give general opinion as
to the causes for their vacancy. The
report was that fully three out of four
were little shantes that ought not 10
be occupied by white men, and We're
probably put out of business by the
building of better houses. An eXamina
ton of the districts Will support this
statement. The routes in the packing
house district, the old barb wire fac
tory district, the Brennecke & Head
district. near the pottery plant, the May
street district. south of the Iowa Cen
trail shops, and the district along the
railroad from the inierlocking switch
west, show 159 of the "2s empty houses,
on seven carrier rou1es, leaving only
sixty-nine on the other eleven routes.
1t is in these portions of town that
the glucose employees and many of the
buggy factory men found houses tn
rent. Were these two factories In oper-
alton today there should be a demand
for 400 more houses, which would be
nearly 200 more than nre now available,
counting every old shack that there is
in the town. Marshalltown has made
such recovery from those set backs
that she has less than sixty habitable
houses vacant In the month Of June.
which should be the low tide mark
of the year.
And these figures Are supported by

Capacity Increased to One Hun
dred and Fifty Barrels
Per Day
ADDITIONAL STAND OF ROLLS
Steam Plant viii be Put in This Fall
Thus Assuring an Even Grade of
Flour the Year Round - The High
est Cash Price Paid for All Kinds
of Cereals.

Progressive men realize that in order
to do a successful business in these
days of push and competition. they
must adopt modern methods, else those
In the same line will soon distance them
In the game. Falgatter Bros, propria-
tors of the Marshalltown Touring mills,
are keeping pace with the times In this
respect, and manufacturing flour, meal,
and other breadstuffs that sell readily
in competition with any other brands
on the market. Their sales have in
creased until the capacity of the mill
was taxed to it's utmost and finally tina
mill has been shut down during which
time double stand Of rolls have been
put in, which increases the capacity
from 100 barrels each day. to $50 barrels
day. This will enable the proprie-
tors to fill all orders promptly in the
future. In addition to the double stand
of rolls, two sections of sitting ma
chimes, elevators, etc, have been added,
the mill reprogramed and many other
improvements made, so that the Mar
shalltown mills are equal in every re-
spect to any in the northwest. Later In
the season steam plant Will be put IN
the object of which is to keep the mill
as warm in winter as 1t is in the sum-
mer, assuring an even grade of flour
turnout the year. The Marshalltown
mills already enjoy large patronage
and are better prepared than ever to
accommodate the numerous patrons.
The highest cash price IS paid for all
grain used at the mills. -four is given
in exchange for wheat. and in view OF
the fact that as good flour as is male
anywhere is manufactured by Falgatter
Bros, It would seem that they should
be accorded q large patronage.

of years and had been for time In charge OF the
most noted oculists in New York city. and under
their care and treatment his eyes grew worse until
finally he totally lost the sight Of his left eye. The
inflammation then extended to the right eye. Pre-
vious to our call upon you he had been blind In
his left eye for about year and we were greatly
alarmed and feared that he would lose the sight
in his right eye and become totally blind For
tunately in conversation with one OF our leading
attorneys In Chicago Mr.. Frank P. Reynolds. 70

son to you for consultation and. as you VIII re-

to you that you have not only accomplished whai
you promised to do for my son. but great dea1
more Today his eyes are sound and well and. In
stead OF being blind in his left eye Is he was when
we first consulted you he has the use OF two per
