Don't Recognize Defeat.

He is a pretty poor sort of man
who loses courage and fears to face
the world just because he has made
a mistake or a slip somewhere, be-
cause his business has failed, because
his property has been swept away by
some general disaster, or because of
other trouble impossible for him to
avert.
This is the test of your manhood;
how much is there left in you after
you have lost everything outside of
yourself? If you lie down now, throw
up your hands, and acknowledge your
self worsted. there is not much In
you. But If. with heart undaunted
and face turned forward, you refuse
TO give up or to lose faith in yourself,
II you scorn to beat a retreat, you
will show that the man left in you is
bigger than your loss, greater than
your cross and larger than any defeat.

THr cLun ladies are hard at WORK on theiT plans

THE CLUB ladies are hard at work their plans
for library association-thats the way they always
proceed with any enterprise which they undertake
need the assistance of every citizen. We have a
splendid library and it contains hundreds of volumes
that should be available for public The city has
agreed to appropriate 81 900 year for the manten-
ance Of the library but this will not become available
till the taxes are collected for 1906 In the meantime
the library can be used only in limited way 1t is
the plan of the ladies to form association of hous
and persons who will each pay dollar per year for
the support of the library This would furnish an
ample amount to keep librarian and pay all expenses
Moreover if it should become permanent association
the burden Of supporting the library would be lifted
from the city. All the encouragement and assistance
possible should be given the ladies in their efforts

NEW NAMES FOR AVENUES.

PROMINENT citizen has suggested to the Ex-
PRESS the advisablty Of changing the names of the
avenues Of the city. His idea is that the avenues
should be numbered consecutively the streets run
ming north and south numbered. Beginning
say with Chickasha Avenue they would read First
avenue Second avenue, etc.
The advantages off such system are very appar-
ent. No one, whether resident or stranger, would
have any difficulty in locating places in the city It
would be very simple matter to find any given
place.
OF course there would be strong objection to
any change from the present names but the suggestion
is one worth considering What do the people thing
ofit?

Attempted Blackmailingscheme
Fails Thru Arrest of Man Civ
ing Name Of r. G. Hodges
AwDE THE VICTIM
Hodges Secures s1oo and Note for
Twice That Amount When He
Came to Collect the Note the Sheriff
Was Waiting - Mrs. Lord, Purport-
ing to be Insurance Agent, the Wom-
an in the Case.

Because his victim refused to be
held up" for an additional amount OF
5000 in what has every appearance of
a blacklnailing case, a stranger, Civ
ing. the name of F. G. Hodges was
arrested Friday afternoon by Sheriff
Hutson, charged with Matchmaking.
The complaining witness was j. A.
Awde, a meat dealer, of 100 East Main
street, who about three months ago, paid
Hodges 500 under threat of expos
ure when the latter found Mr.. Awde
an insurance agent.
Hodges was arraigned in Justice
Clark's court, and pleaded not guilty.
When confronted with a charge of
Matchmaking, and bonds for $1,000, he
weakened and paid over to Mr.. Awde
the 500, and returned to him the note
Flor 5000. His bonds We're then ac-
cepted, he was released and the prose-
cution will be dropped, as Mr.. Awde
does not care to press the case. Hodges
hearing was set for Monday afternoon,
but the defendant, it is understood, has
left the city and will not make appear
ance.
Mr.. Awde is confident Mrs. Lord and
Hodges We're working together, and
that the former was the stool pigeon"
of the latter, in carrying out his at
tempted eXtortion which, for a time,
was successful. The case had it's be-
ginning about three months ago, when
Mrs. Lord, who was well known to
Mr.. Awde, and who represented to him
that she was selling life insurance,
came to him soliciting business. She
told a hard luck story of her husband
bringing suit for divorce, and finally
induced him to come to her room.
There she continued to pour out her
tale of woe, and intimated that she
was so hard pressed for money that
she had little or nothing with which
to pay rent or buy food. 1t was ar
supper and he did So While they
We're eating some one: raped, and
Awde opened the door. There stood
Hodges, who claimed to be a detective,
representing Mrs. Lords husband, who
was seeking divorce, and unless Awde
paid up, exposure would follow. Awde
was frightened by the thoughts OF
what might follow, and effected COM
promise, whereby he paid Hodges $500
and gave him his note for $500 more.
The note came recently due, and
Friday afternoon Hodges appeared, de-
handing payment He was told to come
again, and while he was gone Awde
secured Sheriff Hutson, who arrest
ed Hodges when he returned.
Mrs. Lord is the, wife Of a former
Great Western bridgeman, and at one
time lived at SOC East Main street. Lat
er she moved to North Second street.
She has been seen in the city several
times since the incident in the room.
Hodges is believed to be sailing under
an assumed name. He is a large,
portly man, about IS years of age, and
was we'll dressed.

Commercial Club Enters Into
Contract With Illinois Men to
Locate Enterprise Here
3. r. coffman, County Treasurer of
Logan County, illinois, and e. RAN
kin, of Lincoln, ILL.,, Interested
David Lennox Endorses Project and
Becomes Stakeholder.

The Commercial Club drew con-
tract today with Mr.. B. +. Coffman,
county treasurer of Logan county, Hill
nois, and E. V. White, who is repre-
senting e. Rankin, of Lincoln, in that
county, providing for the location of a
small factory in this city, which will
the manufacture of aluminium signs
and brass, bronze and aluminium cast
ing. The company agrees to invest
$4,000, three-fourths of the stock to be
sold to local people at par If they wish
to take it, or Rankin will put up all
the money. In consideration for its
coming to Marshalltown, the citizens
are to subscribe for $1,000 worth of
the signs.
Mr. David Lennox has endorsed the
enterprise, and he and Charles Click
will take one-fourth the stock to help
it along. The banks at Lincoln and
Dunn's report give Mr.. Rankin good
recommendation, and the Commercial
Club approves of the scheme.
The order for signs will be taken
conditional upon the factory locating
here. Store signs will, be sold, and
people not engaged in bus ness pcan
lend a helping hand by purchasing
house numbers or street name plates
to be mounted on their residence cor
ners. The aluminium signs are bright
and attractive and never tarnish.
Each man can purchase from 60 cents
to $40 worth, according to his needs
or public spirit, and a factory can be
landed which may develop into en-
ployment for twenty-five or thirty peo-
pie, and will be anchored down by the
interests of local investors.

LOCAL COMMENT

II Jennings, McMains and Trip are
elected to the council it should be an
easy matter to engineer" things.
saa
The practice of buying votes"
while not to be condoned, does not
appear to be a twentieth century in
novation. if the history of Marshall
county is to be relied upon. A glance
at Mrs. Nettie Sanford Chapin's early
history of the county refers extensive
ly to the stirring days when MARSHALL
town was doing everything in its pow
er to wrest the seat of county govern
ment from Marietta. In speaking OF
the campaign of 1856, Mrs. Chaplin
ays:N"How handsomely the voters of
the right stripe were treated Many
calico dress, and packages of tobac-
CO, dried apples and tea, found their
way into the homes of the faithful
to Marshalltown."
]. w. Peisen, Of Eldora, of the firm
of Fleener, Carnahan & Co., tax fer
rets, who has been obtaining some
data for the firms records in this
county, during the past week, says
that from the records of his company
he knows it to be fact that there is
between 100000 and $1,O0O,O00 worth
of moneys and credits, owned in Mar
shall county, that is loaned outside of
the county. Il also know" said Mr..
Peisen, that all of this money does not
appear on the assessment rolls and
our experience generally, in working
on tax records, is that the money given
int no iS q 1naYSaH in the
county, and that the money that goes
outside is not listed, because the own
ers believe that it is sufficiently COW
cred. This money should all be taxed
at home, and there is no reason why
Marshalltown should have 791nill
tax. If all the property would be rea-
sonably assessed the tax rate should
not exceed so mills, as based on other
cities of similar size. Ottumwa had
over 80 mills last year, and we cut it

commercial keel has been scraping
along the bottom, but business is good
today and is getting better. We have
readjusted and have recovered. Our
factories are prospecting immensely,
and are on firm foundation. There is
hardly good house vacant in the city
today. Every month promises better
things, while some other Iowa towns
we could mention are experiencing
bursting of a boom, collapse of int1at-
ed values. For eighteen months in
those towns it has been difficult to cash
note with a dozen good endorsers,
while the banks in Marshalltown today
are plethoric with money. Four new
stores have opened on Main street
within the past six months. If it were
not for the conservatism of our Main
street property owners building boom
would open this spring, but as soon as
some leases expire the newt fremont
block is going to force some improve
| ment.
Travelling men who make many towns
regularly say that they find business
any other place. w. w. Shannon, who
INGQ mere IOF years, III lIlS SlIiplOy VI
j. B. Simmons, now travels for paper
supply house, making the towns of
| 10000 inhabitants and larger, in Iowa
and Illinois. He says that there is not
| a town on his route that appears more
prosperous than Marshalltown. An
,, other man. merchant here, who used
to be on the road and knows merchants
in other Iowa towns. says he would
not exchange Marshalltown's CONNER
cial prospects in the next two years
for those of any other city in Iowa.
| These are merely opinions, but this
town has been doing large amount of
public improving and there is fear
full sight of knocking" going on as
consequence, and those of us who are
in business here would like to have the
world hear the other side of the story

THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL.
Few People Know How Useful It Is
In Preserving Health and Beauty.


Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few, realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same clean
sing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present in
the stomach and intestines and carries
them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables. :.
Charcoal effectualy clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; IL
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one form
or another, but probably the best char
coal and the most for the money is
In Stuart's Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless

the form of large, pleasant tasting
lozenges, the charcoal being mixed
with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved con-
dition of the general health, better
complexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of it is, that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but on the contrary.

A Buffalo physician in speaking Of
the benefits of charcoal, says: Il adj

patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex

THE SIMPLE LIFE.
Ways That Are Pleasant And Paths
Th.& Arc Paaro

Ways That Are Pleasant And Paths
That Are Peace.
1t is the simple life that gives
length Of days, serenity of mind and
body and tranquility of soul.
Simple hopes and ambitions, bound
ed by the desire to do good to ones
neighbours, simple pleasures, habits,
food and drink.
Men die long before their time be-
cause they try to crowd too much in
to, their experiences-they climb too
high and fall too hard. A wise woman
writes of the good that a simple diet
has done her:
Il have been using Grape-Nuts for
about six months. / began rather
sparingly, until l acquired such a lik-
ing for it that for the last three
months I have depended upon it al
most entirely for my diet, eating moth
ing else whatever, but Grape-Nuts for
breakfast and supper, and 1 believe
could eat it for dinner with fruit and
be satisfied without other food, and
feel much better and have more
strength to do my housework.
when / began the use of Grape
Nuts l was thin and weak, my muscles
were so soft that 1 was not able to
do any work. ! weighed only 10S
pounds. Nothing that / ate did me any
good was going down hill rapidly,
was nervous and miserable, with no
ambition for anything. My condition
improved rapidly after l began to eat
Grape-Nuts food. 1t made me feel like
a new woman; my muscles got solid,
my figure rounded out, my weight in
creased to 126 pounds in few weeks,
my nerves grew steady and my mind
better and clearer. My friends tell me
they haven't seen me look SO well for
years.
Il consider Grape Nuts the best food
on the market, and shall never go back
to meats and white bread again"

HIGH SCHOOL BEATEN.
TaiIenders Win % to 13-standina Of
the Clubs.

In a game characterized for its
roughness, the Imperials, tailenders in
the series, beat out the leaders, the
High School, by a score of % to 10, at
the Y. M. c. A. gymnasium Friday
night. AS a result, with one more
game each to play, the Rabbits and
High School are tied for first place,
and the Imperials have jumped to
fourth place. The Innperials had the
best of last nights game all the way
thru, barring the first inning or two,
and were able to keep their opponents
from scoring except during four inn
ings. In those four the High School
totaled thirteen runs. The Imperials
kept scoring steadily all the way thru.
The score by innings:
