IT COSTS NELSON
Marshall Ice Company Claims Lower
ing the Water Above the Dam Win
Mean Serious Loss to lt-lce Has
Been Damaged, Mr.. Nelson Says.

"The test the city has been making
at the river will cost me hundreds of
dollars" said Mr. c. w. Nelson, of the
Marshall Ice Company, Wednesday.
When, asked to explain. in what way,
and how, he said that the public was
not aware of the damage done already
to his ice crop, because of the water
being drained ,out of the river bed,
which could not be remedied, even
now that the gates under the mill
had been closed and the river was
rising In making his statement clear
Mr.. Nelson said: 1.-The water will not
raise to its former level all of the coat
of ice which covers it, but will lift up
only about one third of 1T, represented
by a strip running along the center of
the river. The rest the two strips
along the banks, will be held by the
banks, to the botto moi the river, and
instead of being lifted UP by the rising
water, they will crack off from the
center strip and remain stationary. The
water will then seep thru the cracks
and cover the strips along the bank,
and that ice will be valueless
Had the test not been in progress
would have been clearing the ice of
snow and would have been cutting by
this time"

COMMITTEES ARE
UNABLE 1O AGREE
Paving Company's Agent Here
But Nothing Has as Yet
Been Accomplished
COMPANY is READY TO SETTLE
There Is a Possibility That Refusal of
Those Representing the Forty-four
Who Have Cases Pending to Name
. Basis for Settlement May Prevent
An Adjustment.

The peacemaker's work in the paw
otandstill in the meetings yesterday by
the attitude of the committee repre-
ssnttng the property owners who have
appealed from their assessments. These
men claim that because they have APP
pealed and have refused to waive as
the others have they now stand in a
more advantageous position and should
receive more favorable settlement
than any given to the property own
ers who have appealed. They claim
that not only are they in a better po-
sition to force the paving company to
concede but that they still have open
the question as to special benefits and
indicate that they expect the city to
concede them something on this be-
sides any concession that may be made
by the paving company.
Judge Durham can not see his way
clear as a peacemaker and go-between
to offer a basis Of settlement for one
class of citizens any different than for
another and he has suspended negoti-
atoms temporarily until he can deter
mine in his own mind the best thing to
do. 1t Is probable that he will proceed
with the other committee and attempt
to arrange a settlement for the 200
or 300 other property owners indepen-
IDENTIFY of the 40 appealers.
j. w. Killmar, general western agent
for the Barber Asphalt Company, came
here Wednesday vested with full au-
thority to settle, but nothing was ac-
cornplished.s Mr.. Killmar left saying
he would stand ready to come again
just as soon as the committees agreed
that they had settled their differences
and were ready to make proposition
by which all the paving could be adj
,justed. Mr.. Killmar says he is ready
and DESTROYS of settlement, but he
wishes to make it total when one is
accomplished which will effect the
paving In litigation between individu-
ais and the company and city and
company.

ARNEY MAY RUN.
Wallace Arney Expects to Ask for the
Nomination for Representative.


Nomination for Representative.
Within the last few days consultation
among his friends has practically con-
vinced Mr.. w. Arney of Taylor town.
ship that he would be justified in seek
ing the republican nomination for rep
resentative from this county to succeed
Hon. b. f. Cummings. who will not
again be candidate. Mr.. W. r. Mon
niger, who had been talked of but who
had not given the matter any serious
thought himself will probably not be
candidate and as nothing definite
has been heard from anyone else 1t is
possible Mr. Arney will have no oppo-
sition.
Mr.. Arney, altho q farmer living six
miles north of town, is practically a
resident of this city. being a member
of the Woodmen, x. p. and Masonic
lodges here and spending a great deal
of his time in transacting business
here In addition to his large cattle
feeding operations on a 2T5 acre farm
he clerks a great many farm sales thru
out the northern part of the county
and negotiates the notes here.
Wallace Arney was born and raised
on a farm in Iowa township. His sec
ond cousin, c.. E. Arney, is at present
a member Of the board Of supervisors.
Another second cousin, p. r. Arney, IS
a prominent implement dealer of this
city. He has always been a repubii-
can, progressive and fearless in his
views. He has never held public office
save as township assessor once, but has
been prominent in the farmers insti-
tute work and has just been reelected
as secretary of the Iowa Valley Mu-
tual Insurance Company. Many of the
more prominent republicans in almost
every township have promised him
support.

A PEsTlFERoUs GERM.
Burrows Up the Scalp Into Dandruff
and Saps the Hairs Vitality.

People who complain of falling hair
as a rule do not know that it is the
result of dandruff, which is caused by
=. pestiferous parasite burrowing up
the scalp as it digs down to the sheath
In which the hair is fed in the scalp.
Before long the hair root is shriveled
UP and the hair drops out. If the work
OF the germ is not destroyed hair keeps
thinning till badness comes. The only
way to cure dandruff is to kill the
germ, and until now there has been
no hair preparation that would do it;
but today dandruff Is easily eradicated
by Newbro's Herpicide, which makes
hair glossy and soft as silk. Sold by
leading druggists. Send 10c in stamps
