SMITH AND cRARY ARE OUT.
f. Aubrey Smith and George E. Crazy
Announce for County Recorder
Nomination

Nomination.
Two new candidates for the repub-
lican nomination for county recorder
are announced in today's issue in the
persons of f. Aubrey Smith and George
e. Crary of this city. Mr.. Smith made
a strong run for this office four years
ago, being among the four leading can
didates who all ran within about sixty
votes of one another. Mr.. Smith has
never held public office, but he has
been very prominent in Woodmen lodge
work and other soliciting which has
given him a very wide acquaintance
thruout the county. Having made the
fight four years ago, he feels that he
is now the logical candidate for the
place and is not ashamed to run again
on his record as a campaigner or as
citizen. If nominated and elected he
would be thoroughly competent.
Mr.. Crary is a retired farmer of a
very high reputation. For thirty years
he has lived and voted the republican
ticket in Washington township. For
seven years more he has lived and
voted the republican ticket in this city
where he now resides, at 40S North
Third street. He has been recognized
by his neighbors as an active citizen
in township affairs, and will find a
great many friends in all parts of the
county. He has long been a large tax
payer, interested in his county's vel
fare, and has clerked farm sales in the
southern part of the county for fifteen
years where he has made many ac-
ouaintances. For twelve years he has
been secretary OF the Marshall County
Mutual Fire Insurance Company

Eactor;ea Better Than Banks,

Mr.. A. G. Click, manager of the
packing house, says: Il believe the
outlook for business in 1906, at present
is better than it was at this time last
year. However, 1905. was a record
breaker in all lines and if general trade
during 1906 is as good, no one will have
any reason to complain.
1T looks to me as if Marshalltown
real estate values have touched bot

than in 1905.
Relative to our manufacturing en-
terprises, all seem very prosperous and

than in bank. The percentage OF

WARD WILL FILED
Gilman's Benefactor, Or. W. J. Ward,
Leaves Bulk of Estate, Valued at
About s125,ooo, to His Wife and
Brother, j. A. Ward.

The will sof DR. William j. Ward,
which disposes of property, valued ap-
proximately at s125000, was filed with
the clerk of courts Tuesday afternoon.
To his wife, Mrs. Nellie M. Ward, and
to his brother. and partner in business,
J. A, Ward, Dr. Ward bequeathed the
bulk of his property after making min
or requests.
To Mrs. Ward was bequeathed the
interest DR.. Ward had in the Nufe1
Cedar Company, of Whitehall, Mich,
and about 500 acres of land in Tama
county, seven miles east of Gilman, the
income from which, the will provides,
aside from providing for his wife's
maintenance, is to go toward paying
off the mortgage on it. Aside from the
minor beouests j. A. Ward was given
all of the other personal and real
property
Arthur Stineman was given $500, to
be held in trust. the earnings of which
should go to Stineman until he became
40 years of age, when he is to be paid

pooJittIe Wants the Milwaukee.

Mr.. W. w. Doolittle, of the Mar
shall Vinegar Co., says: First. The
past year has undoubtedly been a rec
ord-breaker as regards the volume OF
business transacted in MarshalltoWn
and it would hardly be safe to predict
a, substantial increase the coming year
However, can see no good reason why
the present standard should not be full
ly maintained.
Second I can see nothing at the
present moment TO stimulate building
operations the coming season
Third We have in Marshalltown
not only one of the best, but the very
best and most attractive city IN the
state. 1t is clean and wholesome with
more miles of paving and cement walks
than any other city of it's size.
Its public schools are unsurpassed
It's municipal affairs are in excellent
hands and l believe that a judicious in
yestment at the present time in Mar
shalltown real estate, will prove prof
liable. We have practically outgrown
our agricultural resources and for fu-
ture Developments, must look to manu-
featuring industries. How to secure
these is the question.
I'm my opinion, there can be more
accomplished along this line thru the
loyalty and cooperation of our citizens
than in any other way.
"Marshalltown has fair shipping ia
cilities, but she might have better. The
entrance to our city of the Chicago
Milwaukee and st. Paul, which controls
more mileage than any other road in
the state, would certainly be attractive
to the iobbing and manufacturing in
terests. "W. w DOOLITTLE."

In his report Mr.. Mack says: Dur

was discovered that there was an in

This aroused a suspicion and caused

orders to me to close the gates

time showed that the gates were open

to prevent the water from rising and
