Tho First Coffee.

In the year 1858 q dervish named
Hadji Omar, native Of the town of
Mocha--hcnce the familiar name
was lost in an Arabian desert and
was dying of hunger when he discov-
cred some small, round berries, but,
trying to eat them, found them, to
his disgust, impossibly bitter. Then
he tried roasting them and finally
STEPPED few thus roasted in water.
Naturally this was coffee. and,
though OF the worst description, so
agreeable did Hadji Omar find it
that Is soon as he could make his
way back to his native town he in-
troduced the wise men OF the city to
this new drink. So. we'll pleased
were they with it that the dcrvish
was made a saint.

thriving and prosperous center. At
that time railroads &erc scarce in

and there were long stretches of
country not to be reached al all ex-

Fraternal Societies of the City
Planning to Let the Eagle

EVERYTHING WILL BE FREE
Business Men Will Be Asked to CO.
operate, and Celebration Such as
Was Hold Few eYars Ago Would Be
Promoted-Lodues Fall in Line.

If the expectations Of several Of the
realized Marshalltown will elebrate
the glorious Fourth this year., AMI the
eagle will scream again as 1t did SIX
or seven years ago, when the LODGES Oh
the city were back of the celebration.
Elk Mayor i. G. Pierce, who was chair
mar of the committees at the last fra
ternal order celebration has proposed
the celebration to all the lodges Of the
city, and already several have APP
pointed committees.
Knowing that the base ball team
would be out of the city on the Fourth
Mr.. Pierce conceived the idea of hav-
ing something doing in the old town,
and suggested the celebration b" let
ter to the different organizations, ask
Ing them to appoint a committee to
meet at some date In the near future,
at which time the plans could be talked
over. The Knights OF Pythias, Loyal
Legion of Plymouth, Royal Highland
ers. Modern Brotherhood of An erica,
United Commercial Travellers OF mel
lea and odd Fellows have already Sig
nifled that they are favorable 10 the
plan, and have appointed committees
Ii the celebration Is attempted It Will
be carried out along the same plans
as when the lodges had charge before.
Everything will be free, and the ex-
pense Will be met by popular SUBJ
scription. The business me VIII be
asked to cooperate. A parade, In
which the different organizations OF
the city will participate and floats of
different business enterprises shown,
will be one Of the features OF the day.
A program Of some kind will be ar
ranged, and in the evening a gigantic
pryotecfnic display given.
At the last celebration OF thi, Kind
there was an attendance OF between
5000 and 10000 people. The rail-
roads were swamped with. business,
and II will be remembered that the
Central train from the north IN the
morning had to run into the city from
Union without stopping, and then run
another train to Liscomb to bring the
people waiting there and at Albion.
The city will be asked to accord the
committee the same privileges as be-
fore, giving 1t the money derived from
all licenses on that day.
The other lodges that have beer
made familiar with the plans Will a
som action upon their first meeting
night.

Standing of tho Clubs.

A perfect day, a holiday crowd and
return OF the Grays and the opening
of the league season at the ,Iinkle
Park grounds Wednesday afternoon.
The Grays won In u tight squeeze,
and In such a sensational finish as to
give the 1854 who paid to look on,
plenty of thrills. Not until
the closing half of the ninth were the
locals able to forge to the front, which
came about thru their punched hits and
good luck.
Barring one or two performances on
the bases the game was featureless and
the interest conferred In the strenuous
battle which ragged between McKenna,
the visitors southpaw, and Parkin, the
pride Of Hudson. S. ID. Both pitched
fast and ~unrelenting ball, with plenty
Of head work backing it up. On the
face the figures show Parkin to have
y bit the best OF 1t, altho the other
outstripped him in the matter of
olA ihSOutSt OuS I'M was u A1ttIS ~
steadier Of the two. and finished
stronger.
Both twirlers received sassy and
fast support from their mates, altho
neither team played errorless bull. 1t
was due to this that tallies were not
made earlier in the battle, but the in
ability to hit at timely moments had
its effect. Not a single good yell did
the crowd nave coming, SO tight did
the pitching departments keep things
cornered, and but one or two stirring
events, prior to the ninth, interrupted
the clean, fast play. One of these
was Perry's game of tag, with the en-
tire bunch Of local athletes chasing
him between first n second. which
called for long and continued laughter.
Somebody tipped it off to Perry that
he might steal second after two were
gone in the ninth. He started off, but
Parkin caught him in the act, and the
entire team closed in on him while he
lodged, ducked and sidestepped IN an
effort to get past. Hoy, rushing in
from center to be at h finish, seized
the sphere and pressed it against The
winded Perry's spine, retiring the side.
Only once, really, the visitors might
have scored, when McKema started
the eighth with a two-bagger, but in
attempting to work the ancient gag Of
cutting first was caught and the hit
was wasted.
Twice before the eventful round the
Grays might have scored, but the OPP
perfume hit never came. Hoy opened
the scoring round by hitting along The
third base line for two sacks link
hunted toward first, and everybody
within reach sprinted for the ball and
the base was left uncovered. The hit
put Hoy on third, n he scored on
Krueger's %grounder to short, which was
too hot to handle, and the game was
over.
Preceding the contest the parade
with the band was pulled off, and May
or o. H. Ingledue pitched the first
