PLANS FOR BAND FAIR.
Band Boys Invite Lodges Of the City
10 Co.operate in Annual Fair.

Band Boys Invite Lodges Of the City
to Cooperate in Annual Fair.
The Marshalltown band has fixed the
week of December 20 as the date for
the annual band fair, and has decided
to follow out the same plan adopted
last year, in inviting the different
lodges and fraternal organizations of
the city to cooperate with it in the
venture. The fair will begin on Satur-
day evening, December 20, and close
the following Saturday night, Janu-
airy 5.
It is necessary, If the band organ
ization is to be maintained, that some
revenue be derived aside from the bare
earning capacity, which is not suffi-
cient to pay expenses. The band gives
concert every week during the sum-
mer months, which is free to the
working classes, and a feature that is
thoroughly enjoyed. As many of the
working. people are members OF the
many fraternal organizations, the band
has decided to invite the different
lodges to cooperate with it in putting
on the fair. One night will be assigned
to lodge, and will be known as MAC
cabee night" Royal Highlanders'
night" or as the case may be. Should
the lodges feel that they are not able
to enter into the spirit of the occasion,
they will be asked by the band to as
sist in SO far as not planning other
events for band fair week.
The base ball contributions Of the
business men last summer hurt the
band subscriptions, and last year the
band finished the year with short
age Another annual donation of 500
will not be forthcoming this year, by
reason of the recommendation of the
state auditors committee to the city,
to the effect that its $500 contribution
to the band is illegal.

Pasadena, Cal, papers, received here
Tuesday, announce the death OF Mrs.
Sarah E. Banbury, wife Of the late Col.
Jabez Banbury, which occurred at PAS

men of the city in an early day, and
with his wife will be remembered by
many of the Older people now living IN
the city. Colonel Banbury's name &C.
cupies a conspicuous position on the
new Iowa monument at Chattanooga.
The Pasadena Times of Tuesday, De-
cember 4, says concerning the death Of
Mrs. Banbury:
In the death Of Mrs. Sarah e. Ban
bury, widow Of the late Col. Jabez
Banbury, which occurred at 11.15
O'Clock this morning. Pasadena has lost
one of the oldest and most respected
residents, woman whose life has been
closely identified with the earliest he
ginnings in Pasadena. For the past
six months Mrs. Banbury has been a
great sufferer and for the past two
days and nights has been dying, the
general breaking down of age being the
cause of her death. She is survived by
two twin daughters Mrs w. w. Fore
of Pasadena, and Mrs. F. Dewitt
Crank of Pomona, and by two brothers,
Henry Dunton OF Winters. Yolo county,
this state. and Burton Dunton of Piru.
Ventura county.
Mrs. Banbury was the daughter OF
the late Rev. Soloman Dunton, an aged
Methodist minister who will be remem-
bered by the earlier residents Of the
city as closely identified with the be-
ginnings of Methodisin in PASADENA.
Mrs. Banbury was e-lallve of Ohio and
was 70 years old She was a woman
OF great sweetness and gentleness OF
personality and her whole hearted hos
pltality to new Corners was well known
In the early days when Pasadena was
but a wee hamlet and the Banbury's
was the first house built here. Col.
Banbury owned from the Arroyo bank
to Fair Oaks avenue and his house. the
first ever built in Pasadena, was SIT
uated on South Orange Grove avenue
on the present site of the Old Durand
place. 1t will ibe remembered by the
overarching avenue of cypress trees
which led from street to veranda and
was known as the tunnel, a place Of
which the children of the neighbor-
hood stood In great awe because of the
dark and mysterious shadows beneath
the thickly matted branches.
Colonel Banbury, whose death oc-
CURED six years ago next Sunday, was
the first treasurer Of the town OF Pasa-
dena and for eight years occupied the
position OF treasurer of Los Angeles
county. The family came here, from
Marshalltown, Iowa, and were the first

lowe Publishing Company, Of Daven-

in Marshall county:
During the progress of the work of
the New Dubuque County Atlas, the

Of the proposed book, and knowing the
reputation and reliability of the Iowa

justified in urging the Importance Of

ira copies. notwithstanding the fact
that the number of copies to be pub
lished would correspond with the num-
Der Of subscribers, and that no extra
copies could be obtained after the sub
scription lists were closed, some per-
sons did not seem to credit the state

Good Work of Department Con
fines Main Street Blaze to
One Building
THE LOSS WILL BE VERY SMALL
With Mar.haIltown State Banks EIe-
CANT Building Two Door: Away, and
Cooks Fine Store on Other Side,
Firemen Work HeroicaIIy to Hold the
Fir. Whore It Had Il. Origin, and
Are Successful.

A fire Tuesday evening that might
the heart of the Main street business
section, was confined to the small
frame building in which 1T had its orig
in by the quick and heroic work of the
fire department. AS vt was the loss to
all concerned will not be much over
$500, fully covered by insurance.
At 1880 fire was discovered in the
building at 10 West Main, owned by
c. E. Hatcher, and occupied by the Nc
Carten Plumbing Company. The blaze,
famed by strong down draft, had
broken thru the floor of the upper story
to the room below before 1t was dis
covered. Chemicals were used to good
advantage. and by o'clock the blaze
was extinguished.
What might have resulted, had not
such efficient work been done, is hard
to surmise, with the elegant new build
ing of the Marshalltown State Bank
but two doors to the west. and the
Shelter building, remodeled and inn
proved but a few years ago, and occu-
pied by c. p. Cook, next door east. AS
1t was there was not even any smoke
damage in either the Cook store or the
small frame building occupied by c. +.
Schoenhut, and owned by ]. A. Rohr,
OF Los Angeles, directly to the west.
A careful investigation of the prem
ises this morning. made by Chief Kir-
by, results in the belief that defective
fiue was responsible for the fire. At
first 1t was thought that possibly a
cross OF telephone and electric light
wires was responsible, but the wires
We're followed up and no cross was
found to exist.
, The loss to the building Is estimated
by Mr. Hatcher at 5000, which is COW
cred by insurance. AS the building is
a poor risk only a few hundred dol
lars worth of insurance is obtainable.
Mr.. McCarten says his loss will be
between $500 and $500, which is cover
ed by $1,000 insurance on his stock
The roof of the building was burned
away, and the upstairs rooms Quilted.
Nothing in the McCarten place was
burned, and the loss is wholly by
water. W

today that it is on easy street" as

The committee estimates today. and
declares the estimate to be conserva-
tive, that there have been affixed to the
petition a total Of $50 names that will
stand the test when compared to the
tax list Of resident free holders.
One most gratifying point connected
with securing the names to the PEE
tition, is that great many Of the OPP
position, men who have stood out and
refused to sign, are now coming to tho
committee and voluntarily offering
their Signatures. AS the situation is
becoming better understood the oppo-
sition lessons, and, in fact, there is very
little opposition to the project today.
The committee is getting the differ

man, is in California for the winter,
and at present in Los Angeles, where.
he has the best opportunity in the
world for witnessing the workings OF

of Marshalltown. and has written May

asking for petition that he may sign
it and return it to the committee.
Mr.. Beaman, in his letter to the may
or, says:
II see by the T.-R. issue OF December
