PLEASURE FOR AN EVENING.
Novel Idea in the Way Of a Church
Entertainment.

Here's a novel idea for a church en-
tertainmcnt which requires little prep
aratiun. 4 rustic bridge was built out
from the stage, inclosing a square
space that was used for a FISH pond.
Rocks and ferns were grouped along
the edge of the stage. the floor was
covered with green carpet. and pref.
ty meadow scene painted on coarse
cotton was hung at the back OF the
stage, making very picturesque set
ting for the pond. says the Cooking
School Magazine. Steps led up to the
bridge, and at the foot was a rustic
lodge, where. on payment OF fee,
the prospective fisher was given q
pole and circle OF cardboard. upon
which was marked the number OF
times he was entitled to fish. Thus
equipped, he went up on the bridge
and fished in the pond. Tickets were
also sold by the bridge keepers. Re
freshments were served, and there
were candy and cake tables and two
stalls where fancy articles were sold,
One Of these stalls bore the sign,
Fish Market" Here fish of many
brilliant colors and quaint shapes
were for sale; there were blotters,
shaving cases. pin cushiHns and
sachet bags. On the cake table were
many toothsome fishes-chocolate and
clear candy fishes and boxes Of candy
decorated with water color and pen
and ink sketches. also sandwiches cut
out with flsh.shaped tin cutters, also
cookies and small iced cakes. At In
tervals singing and tableaux may be
given for variety.

When Little Johnny Jones" Is pre-
sented at the Odeon the theater-going
public of this city will have an oppor-
tunity of witnessing what is unques-
tionably the biggest musical hit and
the greatest comedy success that has
been presented for several seasons
past. Little Johnny Jones" Is in
every sense of the word a metropolis
tan attraction, with a distinguished
cast and chorus Of forty people, in all
numbering over seventy-five persons,
quite the very largest organization on
tour this season. The same production
in every respect will be seen here,
which delighted New York all last sea-
son and which scored a run of over
three months in Chicago, in the latter
city Mr.. McArdle, the dramatic critic
of the Chicago Chronicle thought so
well of 'I4ittle Johnny Jones" that he
took occasion in his paper to give it

remarked that "a person would have
to possess a mean disposition not to
relish the genuine humor which per-
vades George NJ Cohan's musical melo-
drama.

A surprise Is in store for the peo-
pie of Marshalltown and central Iowa
when the new store of the Hull Com.
pany opens at the corner OF First and
Main. The building has been equipped
with handsome fixtures all in mission
oak and the new store is extremely
handsome in appearance. The fixtures
are very artistically arranged and the
store presents several features that are
distinctly different from anything at
tempted here before.
The stock of goods to be carried is
Of very high grade. One of the most
pleasing surprises for the visitor to the
store will be the art room, where a
splendid line of art goods will be dis
played in such a manner as to enable
the purchaser to select with care and
discrimination.
Another very interesting feature of
this handsome store is the business
room where all the latest and most
modern office supplies can be seen in
modern office" desks, filing cabi-
nets and safes, systems and everything
pertaining to modern methods in &C
counting may be inspected to advan-
tage.
Then the books will be arranged in
handsome mission book cases and Will
be arranged in departments SO that
the patron may always find what he
wants with the least Inconvenience.
Handsome show cases for the display
Of the stationery and smaller supplies
have also been provided. A complete
line of magazines and periodicals OF
the better class will be carried
The business of the Hull Company
has grown so rapidly that more room
was necessary and the proprietors now
see an admirable opportunity to In
clude the new lines. The location In
the central part Of the state will give
ample opportunity for the business to
grow and expand and the company
will undoubtedly draw trade from a
large tributary territory.
Christmas shoppers should wait un-
til they have an opportunity to see and
examine the fine things in this beauti-
full store. formal invitation will be
issued by the management just as soon
as the opening date is arranged.

EAT WHAT YOU WANT.
Science Has Now Found the True
Way to Cure INDIGESTION.

Science Has Now Found the True
Way to Cure Indigestion.
A few years ago, when sufferer
from indigestion went to stomach
specialist, the result was rigid diet
list that almost meant starvation.
But the first thing to do In the case
of indigestion or stomach weakness is
to strengthen the muscular walls OF
the stomach and intestines, SO that
they will care for the food that is
eaten. In no other way can this be
done as we'll as by taking a Mi-o-na
tablet before each meal. This restores
strength to the stomach muscles and
stimulates the pouring out of gastric
juices, so that the food is digested
readily and it's nourishment retained
in the system to build up energy and
vitality.
Do not think the sick headache,
heartburn, bad taste in the mouth,
coated tongue, spots before the eyes,
sleeplessness and the many other
symptoms that are the direct result of
indigestion will go away Of themselves.
The stomach must be built up and
strengthened by Mi-o-na before you
can be we'll and strong, free from suf-
fering and distress.
The guarantee that Mcbride & Will
give with every 50-cent box of
Mi-o-na, to refund the money unless
the remedy cures, shows their conf
dence in the treatment.

ance-orisin Not Known.

Fire at 9 o'clock this morning, which
broke out in the finishing room Of the
Marshalltown Drop Forge factory, cor
ner Of First avenue and Boone street,
damaged the building, stock and ma
chinery to the extent Of $1,000. One
Of the stockholders and an employee,
s. p. Miller, was painfully burned
The clothes Of two others caught fire,
and one Of these, Lloyd Miller, the IL
year-old son Of Mr.. Miller, had a mar
row escape.
But for the prompt services Of the
department the building. which is a
frame structure, would doubtless have
been completely destroyed.
Flames Spread Rapidly.
The exact origin Of the fire could not
be explained by any of the officers Of
the company. It Is thought to have
broken out in a pail Of oil in the fin
ishing room, presumably from O spark
from an emery wheel Much oil is
used in this department, and the flames
spread with great rapidity. The up
town department, with the aid Of the
chemical apparatus was able to con-
fine the fire to the finishing room, and
the office which adjoined it.
The ceiling and sidewalks of the fin
ishing room were more or less charred
and burned, but the office fixtures
were uninjured except for the water.
and the company's books and records
We're not seriously damaged.
Boys Clothes Catch Fire.
Lloyd Miller. one Of those employed
in the finishing room. while attempt
ing with the others to put out the
flames, ignited his clothing, and it was
while attempting to rescue his son that
Mr. tMiller's hands and face were
painfully, but not seriously burned.
The father told the boy to run from
the burning room, and while the lad
was doing so his clothes caught fire
again. Employees Of the factory caught
the boy before he got out of the fac
tory and smothered the fire with gar
ments. The clothes Of Ed Perry, an
other finisher also caught fire, but the
blaze was extinguished without injury
to Perry.
Treasurer ]. w. Lodwig, of the COM.
pany, estimated the loss on the finished
stock at $1,000. The loss is fully COW
cred by insurance.

BRIDE COMETH NOT
David II. Friend Waits in Vain for
the Sign Of the White Ribbon, and
the E,rids- Be Who is to Wear It.

"Waiting at the Church." improvised
to read waiting at the Station" fits
the lonesome case of David II. Friend,
formerly Great Western crossing ten
der, but at all times looking for wife.
He is still looking. Mrs. S. Perry, the
Oskaloosa widow, who led David to
believe, that she would come to the
city yesterday to look over the matri-
monial field he had to offer, did not
arrive.
Yesterday morning, and again last
night, Friend kept vigil at the union
station, but the widow wearing the
sign of the white ribbon did not come.
Again last night Friend wore under
meath his overcoat a bow Of white rib
bon, the ends of which peeped out as
tho anxious to proclaim the signal FOR
which 1t was intended.
While standing in front Of the sta
ton door after the train had arrived
Friend despied a woman standing on
the step, looking about her with
rather anxious, expectant look.
There" doubtless thought Friend, "is
the woman l am looking for" But she
wore no white ribbon. Apparently to
make sure Friend plucked his coat and
drew it aside just little. showing
still more of the white ribbon. The
woman apparently did not see the
sign, for she dashed hotly across the
platform in pursuit of a train about
ready to pull out.
1t was suggested to Friend that Mrs.
Perry was probably not coming. "Well,
if she does not" he replied very COM
placently, "I'n look elsewhere
