WANT A TEN CENT INCREASE
Iowa Central Men involved, Also Great
Western Employees, in Switchmen's
Union-No Northwestern Men Belong to

increase-Noonan .Seen.

There Is more than mere possibility
that the railroads OF this city Will be
tied up by Wednesday night by reason
OF a general strike Of the Switchmen's
Union of North America. That the
strike Is probability might not be
a conservative statement, altho mem
bers OF local union, No. 126, look upon
it In that light. The men want an in
crease of 10 cents an hour.
All Of the numerous switchmen en-
ployed in the yards Of the Iowa Cen
trail will be affected II q strike is de-
clared. as all belong to the union. The
Great Western employees here will be
similarly affected. Those Of the
Northwestern are not S. U. N. A. men,
but belong to the b. OF r. T., dating
back as far as 1891, when the North
western hired brakemen to DO their
switching. AS the B. of r. T. Is stand
ing out for an increase similar to the
S. U. N. A. men, they are In the same
position as regards prospects OF going
out. In the event that strike is de-
clared every railroad In this city may.
by Wednesday night. be tied up as far
as switching facilities are concerned.
What the Men Want.

Great Western are receiving under the
present schedule 80 cents an hour.

HEARD AT THE PILGRIM.
Travelling Men Speak in High Praise
of Marshalltown.

A group Of travelling mem at the
Pilgrim last night agreed that Mar
shaltown was one Of the most up-to-
date cities in the country. One OF
them said, II can generally tell whether
town Is up with the. times by MOTTO
ing the brand of cigars that is the most
popular If the leading store sells
more Waldsworth Bros Chicos than
they do of any other cigar ! put down
the residents OF that city as progress
sive and up-to-date and desirous OF
the good things of life"
Wadsworth Bros Chicos are sold IN
Mlarshalltown by b. A. Morgan, ana
the man at the cigar case told me that
he was selling twice as many Chlcos
as Of any other two kinds. rms
shows that Marshalltown smokers want
"a good Havana filled cigar that burns
freely is mild and pleasant and makes
an enjoyable smoke.
Wadsworth Bros Chico Is the only
cigar know of costing less than TWEEN
ty cents that fills the bill Just see
how fragrant 1t is" he said as he pulled
a lot Of smoke over the group.
Chicos sell for but five cents. even

Y. M. c. A. Normal Bible Glass.


The third meeting Of the Y. NJ G. A.
Normal Bible class was held In the
parlors Of the Methodist church Mon
day evening. The lecture on methods
OF teaching, as prescribed by Rev. Nc
Cord was of much interest. He spoke
very emphatically ON the need Of
greater efficiency ON the part of the
Sunday school teacher. and the great
responsibility Of those whose duty 1t
was to impact that knowledge which
was to, In great measure. determine
the characters Of $4,000 boys and girls
in our Iowa Sunday schools. His fur
Their discussion of manner Of securing
the attention of scholars, and the best
methods of conveying knowledge to
them was very helpful. Mrs. McKim
has kindly consented to take charge of
the exposition Of the Sundays school
lesson for each week. which Is very
gratifying to the members of the class.
This organization is destined to be-
come very popular among the Sunday
school workers of the city. 1t fills
"a long felt want and is the solution of
the problem Of attempting to keep up
with failure as the result Of a
teachers meeting In each church.
Every one interested in the study and
teaching Of the, Bible are eligible to
become members OF the class which
meets each Monday evening at 1880
in the Methodist Episcopal church.

"Tommy" Down. Make. a Hit.

The Joliet. Ill, News publishes the
following complimentary reference to
Tommy" Downs, who appeared at the
Grand opera house in that city last
week:
"The easy grace with which T. Mel
son Downs fills his hat with cash
coined in all seeming from the am
bient air, proves again that there is
always room at the top. His work.
ing paraphernalia is Of the slightest
and not in evidence in the least. He is
the whole thing himself. A genial,
pleasing, expansive personality, pair
of shapely arms and two certain sets of
'pickers and stealers' which are his
fortune His work is magical. He is
the very prince Of prestidigitateurs,
artless with the most artful cars,
palming six, eight, ten coins at once.
Verify, Downs can swear by his ten
finger bones If so he chooses. His skill
with the cards is not less marvellous
than with coins. He Is genius, we'll
nigh perfect in his artful art and CON-
fidential courtesy"

Light in Fourth and Fifth Wards Up
to o'oIock-Returns From State
Will Be Slow Coming In.

The early vote today was extremely
light, and there was not the excite
ment nor the interest shown that the
| increased registration indicated. Less
than half the entire vote of the city
was in at 2 o'clock. the Second ward
being the only precinct in the city that
indicated "a full vote. Early in the af-
ternoon, however, the number Of voters
began to increase, and the late vote
| will he larger than that Of the morn
| ing.
| Considering the vigorous personal
| campaign made in behalf OF Bradshaw
OF Toledo, for judge during the past
few days, the interest in the election
| does not come up to expectations.
| There Is much scratching being done,
however, both on the judgeship and on
some Of the other candidates. 1t is too
early to predict to what extent the
republicans are scratching Judge
| Burnham. Bradshaw will secure a
large vote in Marshalltown, but Burn
ham Is running well with the balance
Of the ticket in the country. The coun-
try vote, however, Is light, the weather
being favorable for corn picking.
At 2 O'Clock ESQ votes had been ca st
in the First ward, out of about 900.
Three years ago, when the last stale
election was held, a total of 524 votes
were cast in this ward.

been polled prior to O'clock, and Vt is
expected that 600 or more will be cas-,
compared to 451 three years ago. In the
Third 274 votes were in at 2, out of a
total OF over 800. while in the Fourth
only 160 had been cast at the same
hour. Three years ago the total vote
OF the Third ward was 463 and of the
Fourth 2S4. Over In the Fifth ward
the polling place up to 2 o'clock was
the most quiet spot in the city, and
only twenty votes had been polled out
OF a, total Of about 800. Three years
ago this ward cast 100 votes on the
head OF the ticket.
The counting OF the votes tonight
will be slow and the returns will be
late coming In. Members Of the cleo
ton boards in this city say that they
do not expect to be thru counting the
ballots until Wednesday forenoon. The
head Of the ticket and the vote on
Judge and congressman will be counted
first, so that the general results will be
known by midnight. Returns will be
received in the east court room.
No contest of the First ward election

so that the board is composed of re-
publicans, democrats and one socialist.

Grape Nuts in the papers and maya
zines, and two ponths ago persuaded
myself to try a package. 1 read the

to follow instructions as closely as
possible.
