LIBRARY PROSPEROUS
Annual Reports Show Maintenance
Fund and Circulation Of Books Have
Increased During the Past Year -
Duplicate Copy DEPARTMENT Great
Success

The city's library has enjoyed a most
prosperous year. both financially and
in the number of books used and read
as shown by the annual reports filed
at the special meeting held for thai
purpose on Saturday night. The main.
tenance fund has increased almost $500
during the year. Six hundred new
books have been added during that
time and the circulation has increased
about 400 volumes
The duplicate copy department has
been an immense success and has be-
come self sustaining. This department
was opened last February and during,
the year contained ninety-five volumes
of fiction, which circulated 1874. The
total revenue from this source was
$91.55. 1t has cost to maintain the
library during the year s3,591.79, as
compared with $3,497.3O for last year.
The largest items were $1,6425O for
salaries and $1,122.4s for books bought.
The receipts, including cash balance
of $2,09531, carried over from the pre-
ceding year, was s6,050S7. The casa
balance on January l was $2,459.O3
The library now contains 1881 vol
umes as compared with 9,703 last year.
The circulation was 40,994, as against
40,520 for the preceding twelve months
The books added numbered 654, and
757 new cards were added during the
year. The total number of readers
now taking books, 1888, as against
1925 for last year. While apparently
this shows decrease, such is not the
case, for during the year 1900 cards,
which had expired under the two year
rule, were destroyed, but many of them
were rewritten.

The end of a vast amount of litiga-

sued by Judge Smith Mcpherson. in
the circuit court of the United States
for the southern district of Iowa, at
Des Moines, in which the court holds
that all patents covering the manufac-
ture of wire mats by either A. S. Bur

force. The case is dismissed at the
plaintiffs costs.

alleged that the McNeelys had not liv-
ed up to their contract, by failing to
protect him under certain patents, and
the district court held according to the
that event. owed the McNeelys nothing
on royalties.
From the district court the McNeelys
carried the case up to the federal
court. claiming Burnel had infringed
on patents owned by them. They ask
ed several thousand dollars damages
for infringement, also money for royal
ties due, and asked that Burnel be en-
Joined from making the mats in the
future.
This put in issue the validity of the
McNeely patents under which all the
mats had been manufactured, and the
court now holds that the patents held
by both McNeely Brothers or Burnell
are without force, effect or validity.
This brings an end TO the mat liti-
cation, as far as the manufacture Of
the mats is concerned, for any one, ac-
eording to the courts ruling, can make

WALK HERE FROM GILMAN.
G. B. Miller and James Wylie Make
Fourteen Miles Over Snow in Four

Because they missed a train, and
driving was out of the question. two
Gilman men, G. B. Miller and James
Wylie, walked to this city Saturday
over the snow covered roadbed of the
Iowa Central. They made good time
considering the kind of road they naa
to travel, leaving Gilman at 10 O'Clock
and reaching here at 2. They were not
dressed for fast walking either. as each
wore a heavy coat and overshoes, ana
carried bundles.
Saturday morning the regular local
train from the south on the Central
did not run. owing to the drifted cor
dition of the road. Two belated trains
went thru Gilman during the mornins'
but both We're earlier than the schedule
of the regular train, and the passen-
gers missed them. Having business
matters here than needed attention.
Mr. Miller and Mr.. Wylie decided to
walk.

ing found there would be no train to

HoIt Expects MANY New Houses.

First, think we can safely predict
prosperous year in every branch OF
business because the past season was
prosperous one with the farmers, and
the farmers help to build the city and
not the country entirely.
Second, there are certainly good
building prospects both in manufac-
turing enterprises and private resi-
dences, because the tide of prosperity
has apparently set in and with the new
establishments which have sprung up
within the past year and those that
are being contemplated. mean addl-
tional employment for contractors and
skilled laborers. which will fill our
vacant houses and require the con-
struction of new ones. MarshalltoWn
has passed its lowest ebb, and While 1T
never has had a boom that flashed IN
the pan" its growth, with few set
backs has been steady and permanent.
Third, if our real estate agents and
brokers would join hands with the peo-
pie in advertising Marshalltown and
Marshall county in inducing people to
seek investments here instead of try
ing their chances in the frozen north
or the torrid south, the tide would be
turned and we would have immigrants
seeking property and investments in
Marshalltown and Marshall county.
rather than the people grasping at
wild cat schemes and catching at RAIN
bow investments at a distance. In fact
we have evidence of such results thru
the efforts and activity OF one real es-
tate broker who opened an addition, in
what appeared to be an unfavorable
location, but has made 1t bloom into a
veritable garden, as it were, and one
street that was opened is already
built UP with fine and per-
manent residences by some of our best
and most enterprising citizens. and
what we need is to advertise MARSHALL
town and Marshall county, more
and other locations less. "Of all
that is good, Iowa affords the best" as
plainly demonstrated by a recent
article from the pen Of Hon.
d. W. Norris In the Times
Republican, under the head Of "1rriga-
ton. which struck at the climate OF
California, showing it to be deception
and delusion to the invalid.

selling water" The position of the
water works department seems to be
that the city is supplying it's constitu-
ents with water and distributing the
expense among those supplied as
euuitably as possible. In ordering me-
tiers installed upon certain classes OF
water services recently. the water
works department stated In their re-
port that the purpose was. not to gain
more revenue. but to equalize the ex-
pense of supporting the system. With
this view of the matter 1t appears per-
fectly plain that the one who uses the
water should be expected to take care
of all the expenses that can possibly
be adjusted by him.
Each property owner must pay for
the sidewalk in front Of his own prem
ises. and must keep that sidewalk clear
of snow; but before the sidewalk can
be constructed and charged to the
property, the owner must be given no
tice to do it himself, and before the
street department can remove the snow
and charge the expense to the proper
ty. the owner must have ten hours at
ter the storm is over to remove 1t him
self. These are practices based on the
principle old and we'll estabilshed. tnat
society should not bear the burdens OF
the individual except in case OF ne
cessity or TO accomplish some great
good.
1t seems to me that experience in
the city has shown that the meter sys-
tenn is the most equitable system OF
adjusting rates, and the city council
may fairly assume that the people wish
them to decide which is the better sys-
tenn, and to put that system In oper-
alton in accordance with the estab-
lished principles Of government, in the
fairest way possible. The property
owner owns his own bath tub.
he owns his water pipes to connect
with the street mains, he owns his
stop box, and should own his meter.
The only expense that the city should
impose upon him is the price of water,
which cannot he otherwise If he uses
city water ANOTHER CONSUMER.

LAMkIN MEETINGS BEGIN.
Revival Services at the Baptist Church
Start SUNDAY.


DR. l.. d. Lamkin began the revival
meetings at the Baptist church yester-
day with well filled house. mainly of
adult people. The morning sermon was
plea to CHRISTIANS to cut loose from
the worlds aims and come into the
higher life of power and service. The
two departments of the Sunday school
were merged and a plea made to teachers
for better service. and to pupils to
enter the Christian life. The evening
was cold and the sidewalks icy which
reduced the attendance, but not the
interest.
DR. Lamkin is master of dramatic
art, as it relates to the pulpit and relig-
ious assemblies. His language is sim
pie and often thrilling. In his morning
sermon he reached several climaxes
with telling effect, that moved the en-
tire audience.
