of work unless he is interested in it.

Today, Allowing Water Above the
Dam to Escape.
Further complications In the mill
dam case, In which the city is vitality
interested, were brought about yester-
day by the opening Of one Of the flood
gates under the Fallgatter mill, which
allowed vast volumes of water to pass
out Of the river above the dam into the
channel below, lowering the stage Of
the WAFER considerably.
Severa, months ago an, injunction
was secured against g. w. LaPlant, re-
straining him from tampering with the
dam. and later the city secured re-
straining order covering the same
grounds. Attorneys interested in the
case, both for the city and the Mar
shall Ice Company, which has also a
suit pending against Mr., LaPlant, be-
lieve he has attempted to take advan-
tage of a technicality in the restrain
ing order, and opened the gate. These
same attorneys claim by doing so he
has violated the injunction secured by
the Marshall Ice Company. Prompt le-
gal action is promised to further re-
strain Mr.. LaPlant from lowering the
stage of the water.

LOCAL COMMENT

It is now time for the annual "hard-
luck" crop stories. The first one comes
from gardeners, who claim that the
sweet corn is actually maturing so
rapidly that it is impossible to market
1t in small enough quantities Farmers
have held that hot, dry weather is
needed for the field corn, and the
past week has certainly afforded them
their exact needs. The rest of us poor
mortals, however, would like to see a
little rain-just enough to lay the dust,
at any rate.
II you are planning to entertain
company from out of town urge your
guests to come to Marshalltown now,
during the progress of the chautau-
qua. Altho 1t is dry and dusty the city
could seldom be seen to better advan-
tage, as the lawns are all beautiful,
the trees still retain freshness and
everything in nature suggests the
gladstone summer time. The chautau-
qua will make it easy to entertain
guests, and with an array Of talent,
such as has been provided by the man.
agement this year, visitors to the city
at this time will have many pleasant
memories of their stay. The grounds
are convenient to reach accessible to
street cars, and at a nominal expense
hosts can show their guests fine
time. Just have them come a little
sooner than they had planned, and help

A committee from the w. G. T. u.
has taken steps this week to urge upon
the board of supervisors the advisa-
bility and necessity of providing
Il suitable place of detention for
youthful violators Of the
law. The board has as yet taken no
action, preferring to take the matter
under Amusement for time. Under
the provisions Of the new Iowa law, if
properly construed, it would seen,
that such a place as the w. C. T. U.
women ask is highly practicable and
indeed necessity, if youthful offend
ers are to be properly dealt with
The mayor. since the juvenile court
law went into effect, can not deal
with children guilty of minor offenses.
The mayor cannot send a child to
Jail for minor offense, but rather the
youth must go before the juvenile
court. A place of temporary deten-
ton is therefore made quite necessary
if the spirit of the law is to be carried
out. There is no doubt but that the
working of the juvenile court would
have a good moral effect 1t would not
only restrain children, but their
parents as we'll.

nozzle shall be larger than n inch
Hose for sprinkling purposes may be
