Accident at Animal Show.

The crowd at one of the perform
ances in the animal show last evening
came near witnessing a tragedy that
would have cast a pail over the entire
carnival. Nero, the big mountain lion
that rides a horse around the steel
arena, was in an ugly mood last night.
and repeatedly snapped and struck at
the attendants. When Mile. Barnes,
his trainer, attempted to make him sit
erect on the horse she stepped little
too near to the savage animal and he
sunk his fangs in her cheek. Attend
ants with iron bars Immediately drove
the animal to corner Of the arena,
and the company physician was called
to attend the injuries of Mrs. Barnes.
The injury is not necessarily serious
one, and the lady will be able to go
on with her act again today. The in
cident came near causing a panic in
the crowded tent, however, and was
the chief topic of ton about
the grounds later in the evening.-Ce-
dar Rapids Gazette.
A letter from Cramer and Tyler re-
ceived by the local managers, states
that the riding act will positively be
presented in this city next week in
spite Of the above accident.

That is the Spirit of the New
Commercial Club Organized
in MarshalltOWn
TALK UP LOCAL FACTORIES
Always Boost; Never Knock; Will be

Covers Laid at Banquet Held at the
Pilgrim Friday Night.

Amid lively music from the Crescent
Mandolin club, fully 100 travelling men
merchants and manufacturers enjoyed
a many coursed and exceptional ban /
Duet at the Pilgrim hotel Friday even
ing. The occasion was the first get
together of the new commercial club
organized among the travelling men OF
this city and their purpose was to hear
from representatives of the various
factories in this city about the things
made in MarshalltoWn. s
Mr. l.. j. Jarrett, who travels for the
Roberts, johnson & Rand Shoe Com
pany, of st. Louis, president of the
new club, acted as POSTMASTER with
wit and grace seldom equaled on any
similar occasion in the city. Mayor In
gledue told the travelling men in glow
ing terms of the extraordinary and
superb municipal wealth of the city.
He made comparisons with other cities
which could not fail to make Mar
shalltown man booster.
, Mr.. Merritt Greene spoke of the city
and the farm, giving some very sound
advice as to how the town should treat
the farmer. The committee had eX-
pected to hear from one representative
from each factory but our factory peo-
pie proved too modest to talk about
their goods when they had chance,
SO Mr.. D. w. Norris, IT,, who had been
expected to represent the Lennox Fur
mace Company, was requested to tell
what he knew about all of the factor
les. In conclusion he urged every
booster to put money into Marshall
town factory and actually build as we'll
as boost.
Mr. L. M. Osborne. of the MARSHALL
town Buggy Company, thanked the
people Of Marshalltown for the interest
they had taken in his factory to the
extent of 100 Marshalltown men own
ing stock. and invited everybody to
visit the factory.
Mr.. E. A. Harris, an old-time resi-
dent and organizer of the Fisher Gov
ernor Company. was called upon for
remarks which he delivered in his US
ual breezy style. He spoke to the
TOAST, Leave lite LaiiiiliSi VI eiiS
for some day you may need boost
yourself"
Mr.. Jarrett then closed the program
by extending an invitation on behalf
of the factory owners for everybody to
visit the factories of this city and he
announced that the travelling men ex-
pected to make the visit soon in a
body.
Mr.. Shaft of the Shaft Shoe Com
pany, of Fairbault, Mimi, was pres
ent, and spoke briefly to explain why
Marshalltown ought to have a shoe
factory.

but all that she or the girls could say
or do was not sufficient to induce the
young woman to go back to the home.
Finally, as a last resort, police call
was sent in and Miss Dunn consented
to accompany the matron back to the
home.
This morning, Mrs. Blanche Simpson,
"a sister of Miss Dunn, took the young
woman to State Center, and after II
brief stay there will accompany her to
her home in LaHarpe, kas Miss
Dunn has been in poor health for some
time, and her present nervous break
down is supposed to be due to her
illness 1t is believed that her mental
aberration of Friday will prove to be
of only temporary duration.

Local Comment

1t is not the city councils fault that
there were only five Mondays in Sep
TENDER. If there had been more doubt
less they would have been utilized for
council sessions.
Isn't it rather queer to think Of
city with a paid fire department hav-
ing to furnish heat for it? Just think
of having to keep a fire department
warm!
1t begins to look as tho the physi-
clans of Marshalltown had amputated
their own nasal appendages when they
made their fight a few years ago for
pure water supply Just now their
brothers in the profession in other
Iowa cities are battling with the bacilli
of Eberth in an effort to down it. In
Marshalltown everybody is WELL no
epidemics exist. Only few Isolated
cases of typhoid, to be expected, es-
pecially at this season of the year, are
to be found. Waterloo is having its
annual, if not ever present scourge,
and the Des Moines papers are warm

If the city water in MarshalltoWn con-
tinues to be as good as it is at present,
and the day ever comes when the shall

where for typhoid experience.

In paving the bills for policing the fair
grounds, and remarks: The Dispatch
is Interested in the discussion going
on about who should pay for policing
the county fair grounds while the falr
is being held. There should be no
question about the matter. The fair
association is fully justified in ask
ing Marslalltown to bear this expense
because there can be no good reason
given why the city should not take
care of the crowds that gather there.
The city pays the expense OF extra
police when circuses, carnivals, etc,
show there, and these enterprises leave
but little money within the borders,
to the amount the fair at
tracts there. Besides, the fair prac-
tically is local enterprise and the
money paid in premiums and other ex-
penses largely remains within the
county, while the greater part of that
which falls into the hands of travelling
leaves for good What
