retracted his plea of not guilty and
pleaded guilty to entering the Van Dy Ike

court sentenced him to hard labor ia the
state prison at Windsor for not more
than four or less than three years,
The case next taken up was that oil
in re Mathewson, an appeal from the
probate court to the appointment of a
guardian. The tendency of the plaintiff s
testimony tends to show that there was
trace OF insanity in the APPELLANTS
alleged jealousy of his wife. The cast
will probably occupy two more days
Dunnett & Slack appear for the petitioner
and Harland B. Howe and Elisha May
for the appellant.

A Picturesque Display.

The Art rooms OF the Academy have
been opened the past few days for the
public's inspection, and the work dis
played is worthy OF much praise. Spec
ial mention should be made Of the me-
chanical drawings which have drawn
much attention as well as the geometri-
cal, which show a great deal of study.
The theory drawings are among the
most difficult to draw. but they have
been very we'll mastered by the pupils.
A large number of beautiful drawings are
displayed in the charcoal work and many
OF the young ladies have proved them
selves artists in this line as well as in the
water color paintings. Many OF these
patterns are taken rom the Greek,
Gothic, Saracenic and Egyptian Miss
Edith M. Nichols, who is in charge o
this work, has ever proven herself an
efficient teacher, and is to be compli-
mented upon the success with which the
pupils have met this year.

Fire at the Scale Shops.

The alarm was rung in about 7.30
Friday evening for fire in the annealing
room at the scale shops This is an old
building across the spur track and is
fortunately separated from the brick
buildings that compose the main shops.
The fire department arrived promptly
and extinguished the flames after
considerable difficulty. The roof was
badly damaged though the arduous
wu of the fremen saved the adjoining
building which is occupied as black
smith shop The loss was largely that
of the delay in completing orders for
scales as the pivots that were hardening
in the ovens were damaged by the fire.

erenneck Replies to capron.

Upon looking over the names given
by Mr.. Capron in last evenings T.-R.,
as belonging to his band, we md that
Of F. 7. Nokes and several members Of
the Soldiers Home band, who never
belonged to the Marshalltown band,
also those OF D. ]. Ferguson and Julius
Holm, neither Of whom has played with
the band for over year. Investigation
shows the so-called dissatisfaction Mr..
Capron speaks Of to be confined largely
to two members who were disciplined
for intoxication. OF the remaining
names some were secured by misrepre-
sentation, others signed under pro.
test, and these members state they dc
not intend to stick. Mr., Capron has
perfect right to organize new band
and give fair. but he should let his
band stand on its merits, and not seeE
to secure the patronage Of the public
for his fair by claiming to be the gen
line Marshalltown band, which VIII
hold Its fair at Finkle's hall from jan
uary Is to February 2. and will appre.
ciate the patronage Of the public. Yours
for a square deal:

Interurban Petition, Calling
For Special Election, Filed
Thursday Night
BIG MAJORITY ON PETITION
Total Of 22o More Names Than Are
Necessary Appear on List That Is
Absolutely FIawIess-couneI Will
Meet Tonight to Fix Date Of Special
Election.

With a strong petition. bearing 1,043
names Of resident free-holders, the
general committee Of the Marshalltown
Retail Merchants Association went be-
fore the city council at its adjourned
session Thursday night, asking for q
special election to vote 8 per cent
tax aid to the interurban, project. The
council was unanimous in receiving the
petition and at meeting tonight. will
fix the date of the special election,
which will probably be set for Mon
day, January IA.
While the list Of names compristn!
the petition aggregated 1,043 bona fde
resident free-holders, out Of approx
mately 1000 in the city, the 1,043 names
do not represent the entire number ask

the auditors certified list were open

ton. Every name that was In any
way questionable was stricken out,
and the petition went before the coun-
Gil absolutely flawless. There were
some names on the auditors list that
were found, upon investigation. as hav-
ing sold their property since the list
was compiled from the tax books.
Some OF these had bought again, and
were still free-holders, but others were
not ree-holders at the present
time. There were other names on the
list representing people who are really
property owners. but who are paying
for homes and have not yet had their
deeds recorded. These also had to be
stricken out, to be on the safe side. For
majority the petition would have re-
auired S23 names, SO that the petition
actually contains 220 more names than
were necessary.
Mr.. Mcdonald, Of the First ward.
presented the petition before the coun-
Gil, and there was no discussion what
ever in receiving 1t.
