a lasting popularity in Marshalltown

hearers, altho many criticised him as
being anything but elevating. Follow
ing are some Of his remarks, as near
as can be given, in his own words:
1.-THE chautauqua belongs to the con.
dition Of things that obtains in Ameri-
ca today. It is a compromise between
the old camp meeting and the county
fair. People haven't got enough relig-
ion nowadays to run the former, and
they are tired Of the latter. The chau-
ta,uqua Is not q chautauqua without its
social features. Just as we drive the
social nature out, the devil comes in.
'Tt is the drying UP of the social life
OF today that has multiplied the divorce
business in this country" Rev. Jones
said he had quit fighting the divorce
business. Indeed, when people can't
live together peaceably, he urged them
to separate, but wants the judges to

vorcees to remarry. That he said,

BREACH OF CONTRACT CLAIMED.
Citizens Lumber Company Asks Juds'
ment AGAINST j. n. Mineah.

The Citizens Lumber Company is
plaintiff in an action filed in the dis
trict court for the August term, in
which J. III. Mineah is named as de-
PENDANT, and damages for alleged
breach of contract are sought. The
plaintiff AYERS that on Aug. 20, 1904, it
entered into contract with the defen-
dant, whereby the latter agreed that if
the plaintiff purchased the A. A. Moore
lumber yard in this city within ten
days time he, the defendant, would
not directly, or indirectly, either as
principal or agent, engage in the lum-
Der business in any towns in which the
plaintiff operated yards, or at any
point within radius of fifty miles of
such towns for a term of ten years.
The plaintiff claims that the defendant
did not live up to his contract, and
seeks $4,000 as exemplary damages,
that amount being stated as the bene-
fit Mr.. Mineah would derive providing
the Citizens Lumber Company pur-
chased the Moore yard.

LOST PHOTO VALUABLE
Melbourne Man Ask. 5000 az Dam
aged Sustained For Loss Of His
Mothers Photosraph-Eeho Of Pic
ture EnIargins Scheme.

M. w. CorDett, Of Melbourne, has
brought an action for damages for the
August term of the district court, in
which Fred Benson and Herman Bonn
sack, formerly merchants of Mel
bourne, are made defendants. The
plaintiff wants $4,000 for the failure
Of the defendants to return to him the
only photograph Of his dead mother,
which was given them as copy for an
enlarged picture.
The plaintiff claims that the defen-
dants were using the picture enlarg-
ing scheme to stimulate business, and
that his wife gave his mothers picture
to the firms agent, from which an en-
larged picture was to be received. The
contract also specified that the copy
was to be returned In good order. The
plaintiff alleges that the photograph
was lost, neither picture nor photo
graph was returned. AS his mother
has been dead thirty years and this
was the only photograph he had or
was able to get, he considered 1T of
unreasonable value.

TT. Dodge Aug. 16.-The game
scheduled to be played here yesterday
between the Marshalltown and Fl.
Dodge teams was transferred to Dun
combe, where a celebration known as
worlds fair day" was in progress. A
crowd of 1900 people witnessed the
game, which was an intensely exciting
one. The grounds were fair, for a
place of that size, but necessitated
ground rules. Three unrpires were al
SO needed, two Of which were players,
who made decisions on balls knocked
along the foul line, and who also made
decisions on put-outs at the first and
third sacks. These men gave perfect
satisfaction to both teams and no
kicks were registered.
Marshalltown made the first run in
the first session. After one out. War
ner hit for two sacks. Middleton hit a
grounder towards Yeager and, the ball
striking an obstruction, carromed Off
into the field, allowing Warner a
chance to score.
Only three other men got on bases
for Marshalltown up to the ninth, and
two Of these got there on errors In
the ninth Corkhill and Brown each
singled. Kruger hit to Mackey, who
retired Brown at second. A passed
ball allowed Corkhill to score. Eubanks
settled down and struck out Parkin,
thus ending the game.
Fl. Dodge had several chances to
score, getting men on bases in all but
one inning. The first score came in the
second, on a single by Mackey, and a
two dagger by Eubanks.
Two more came in the seventh, a
pair of three-baggers by Clark and
Davidson, and a single by Frost. An
other score came in the ninth on a hit
by Hupp, sacrifices by Metcalf and
Curtis, and an error on the part Of
Kruger.
The game was u pretty contest to
watch, and kept the big crowd of
spectators on edge all the while. The
feature Of the game was the pitching
of Eubanks who allowed only two hits
up to the ninth inning, and up to the
same session had issued free transpor-
tation to none. He was in control OF
the situation at all times, and deserved
a ,shut-out, and probably would have
had it had ne been on the home
grounds. Kruger also made a sensa-
tional catch of drive off Metcalf 8
bat in the third inning. He then
fielded the ball to second, and caught
Danny Hupp, who had led off that
bag after knocking out his two-bagger.
The score in detail:

Save Ono Hundred Dollars on Piano.
The 500 that 1t ordinarily takes to
soil a piano by means Of local can
vassers can be saved by getting your
piano direct from the worlds largest
music house, Lyon & Healy, Chicago.
Lyon & Healy often sell from 20 to
80 pianos direct in a single day. And
the cost of handling this immense
business is very little greater than
that of smaller concern selling only
a few pianos month, hence the great
advantage of dealing with them.
The freight on piano from Chicago
to this city is only a few dollars, and
you run absolutely no risk in order
ing from Lyon & Healy, for IL the
piano they send you is not satisfac-
tory, they agree to pay freight both
ways.

HOW TO ENJOY THE BALL GAME
Sensible Pointers for Those Who Sit
on the BIeachers.


No smoker should go to the ball
game without pocketful of Wads-
worth Bros "Chicos." With one Of
those stuck in his face he can root to
his hearts desire, and when down on
his luck get consolation from his
fragrant "Chicos."
If he should happen to lose few
ten-cent cigars pay the bet with
wadsworth Bros "Chicos," for no 10
cent smoker would ever call them 5
cent cigars. They are made of long
Havana filler, smoke clear and free,
and always leave good taste in the
mouth.
B. A. Morgan, the local agency for
the "Chicos,' has laid in a good sup
ply for the base ball season. Try one
and you will want some more.

FIVE STITCHES
Necessary to Close Painful Wound
In ChiId'S Face.

Little Edith Mason sustained a
serious and very painful accident
last Wednesday afternoon about 5
o'clock, which may result in max.
ing a permanent scar on her face.
While Mrs. Mason was at the
home of Mrs. N. Linton, Edith
and one of her little companions,
Collette Wolfe, were playing in the
yard. Both little girls ran across
the street, when Edith encountered
barbed wire, which she failed to
notice on account of the sun shin.
ing in her face. Edith's right
cheek came in contact with the
cruel barbs, resulting in a cash
several inches in length.
Mrs. Mason hurried the child to
DR.. Nieukirk's residence, who
found it necessary to put in five
stitches in order to close the wound.
