Thought Best to Close Definite Con-
tract as to MIR. Brownies Promises.
A meeting of the chairmen of the
various precinct committees selected
by Mr.. Moore's general committee
was held in the council chamber FRI
day evening. After several hours
discussion it seemed best to close a
definite contract in writing with Ham
ilton Browne as to what he would
agree to do in the way of street rail-
way extensions and reductions in cleo
trio light and gas rates in return for
a fourteen-year extension of franchise
before going ahead with the canvass
for a per cent tax aid for an inter-
urban.
While there are two distinct and
separate agreements with Mr.. Browne,
one as to the building of an interurban
line from the Milwaukee railroad to
Marshalltown, and on toward Grundy
Center, as far as the present city park;
the other as to street railway extern
sions and reduced rates for electric
lights, and gas, it seemed best to close
both up into definite contracts before
proceeding with either and the meet
ing was adjourned at the call of the
chairman, awaiting such time as Mr..
Browne can come here and sign up
with the committee of the Retail
Merchants Association.

SUIT OVER HALF IN
NIGH Of PROPERTY
Interesting Case, In View of APP
preaching Tax Sales, Filed
In District Court
800 FOR INFINITEsIMAL PART
Cedar Rapids Firm Pays for Paving
of Smith Property in 1898, and Has
Equity in Land in Shape of a Strip
one Half Inch Wide by $50 Feet
Lons-Smith Says May Have 1t.

An action filed for the January term
of the district court, in which e. B.
Moore, of Cedar Rapids is plaintiff,
and Nellie T. and George w. Smith, of
this city, defendants, gives promise to
prove of more than ordinary interest,
Ein view of the fact that the date of the
annual tax sale is drawing near. The
action is one in partition. involving the
Smith homestead on West Main street.
The Smith property was offered for
sale at the general tax sales in De-
ment Of the paving tax, in the sum of
about $500.
At the sale the Hawkeye Loan and
Brokerage Company, of Cedar Rapids,
offered to pay this tax for an undivid-
ed one-five thousand, one hundred and
thirty first part of the property, and as
this firms bid was the best received
an undivided one-ffve thousand one
hundred thirty-firs part of the prop
erty was sold to it, for the sum of $500.
A fractional part as small as one
five thousand one hundred thirty-first
of the property would be a tract of
land fronting on Main street one-half
inch wide and running back $50 feet,
the length of the lot. Mr.. Smith, rea-
lizing that $500 was a very good price
for such small par. of the property.
being at the rate of about S432,e00 for a
sixty-foot lot did rot redeem from
this tax sale, and maintain that ale
is ready and willing to sell the balance
of the property at the same rate.
Smith holds that if his property is
worth in the neighborhood of s10,262,
as he claims, an undivided one-hve
thousand one hundred thirty-firs part
would be worth 81. and will ask that the
court fix some such small sum as the
real value of the property.

Auditor and Recorder-Elects Be
sieged With Applications
For Positions
DEPUTY AUDITOR is SELECTED
As Accommodation to Appointee, How
ever, Auditor-EIect Cornell Prom
Uses to Withhold Name Until Busi
ness Matters Can Be Settled - Two
Dozen Wanted Job.

las the time approaches for the new
seats, applications for the position
of deputies to both auditor and record
er have been swarming in at a rate
that fairly overwhelnrs the officials
with whom lie the power Of appoint
ment. Auditor-elect Cornell has had
no less than two dozen applications
for his deputyship, and has already ar
rived at his conclusion. Because of
personal reasons Of the iappointee,
however, who has business affairs to
settle, Mr.. Cornell has promised that
he will not make the appointment pub
lie until later
Altho Mr.. Cornell has decided on his
deputy, applications for the position
are filed almost every day. Men from
various walks of life, some holding po-
sitions equally as good if not better in
some ways, want the job because of a
hankering for public life and an am
bition, perhaps. to enter politics at a
later date.
The recorder is the only other newly
elected official to make change in
deputies, the remaining officials having
been reelected. Mrs. Allen, recorder
elect, has also had many applications,
but not so many as the auditor. This
is due to the fact that the position of
deputy recorder, under the salary lin
it recently fixed by the board, does not
pay enough money to make the office
much of an inducement. The deputy
recordership will pay this year only
s45, as against s65 two years ago. The
deputy auditor receives a salary Of
$40
Some pressure has been brought to
bear upon Mrs. Allen to appoint mar
as deputy, but this Mrs. Allen is not
likely to do. She has one application
from a man, three others from the city,
one from Lsconlb, one from Newton,
one from Cedar Rapids and one from
West Middlesex, Pa.
The appointment of deputy recorder
has not yet been made, but Mrs. Allen
has made up her mind to appoint some
one already in the county. The po-
sition has been offered to a young
woman of the city. but she has not as
yet decided whether or no she can af-
ford to take it, in view of better po-
sition which she now occupies

"A telegram received in the city this

Fisher, from Ernest Baughman, of
Chicago, announces the death of the
latter's mother, Mrs. Ella o. Baugh
man, which occurred Friday afternoon
at 2 o'clock, at Long Beach, Cal. Mrs.
Baughman died in Long Beach hos
pital, where she underwent a severe
operation for hernia last Sunday morn
ing. The cause of her death was not
stated in the telegram.
Mrs. Baughman had been ill for the
ach trouble. The operation babe fair
to be highly successful and several
kilograms, sent to the son and daugh-

the patient was doing nicely. The tel

received in Chicago Friday night, was
unexpected.
Mrs. Baughman was for many years
a well-known Marshalltown woman,
and was prominent in musical circles,
especially in the Beethoven Club, in
which she took much interest. Mrs.
moved to California two
years ago.

Local Comment

The people of Marshalltown are
about to close la contract with a rail-
road builder who is almost certain to
build, interurbans in many directions
out Of this city. We are on the eve OF
new epoch in Marshalltown, altho our
merchants could never complain of the
business conditions that prevail here
at this time. In the near future we are
to see the town expand, property val
ues rise, new houses built and more
and larger stores spring up. The inter-
urban is coming and with it added
prosperity for iMarshalltown.
II
Our best business men believe these
things because Hamilton Browne has
built railroads time and time again and
he knows how to frame up scheme
on which to borrow the money neces-
sary to do the building. He has done it
before He promises now to build only
to the Milwaukee railroad but he hopes
to build to Nevada, to Grundy Center, to
Tama, to Grinnell via Laurel, to Story
City and to Eldora in time. 1t has
been the experience of interurbans In
Ohio, Indiana and the eastern states
that they grew in just this way.
However, Mr.. Brownies optimism
should not carry us off our feet and
cause us to go to voting $4,000 in tax
money without exercising the usual
business prudence in drawing up
definite written contracts covering all
promises and having them scrutinized
by competent lawyer in behalf of the
public as we'll as by one representing
Mr.. Browne. 1t is well, too,i before
beginning a public canvass to harmon
ize as many views as possible land it
was for this purpose that the meeting
last night was delayed.
