Valdez Launched.

The steamer Valdez, the largest yes. 5el of it's kind ever built in Alaska, was launched last night at high tide. The dance at Mckinley hall in honor of the event was largely attended and much enjoyed, and when the time came for selecting the young lady to cbristen the vessel, Miss Helen Brown was chosen, receiving more votes than the balance of the candidates. The launch ing was a success, the vessel sliding down easily and resting on the tenn porary skidway, from which she will be put afloat tonight.
 McCarty Bros & Moore, who have been building the boat, planned on having one of the fastest boats of the kind in the North, and have been so successful in the undertaking that agents of the war department, impress sed witb the neat lines on which she was built, have arranged for her pur- chase by the government to replace the launch now in use on this bay. The papers were signed yesterday and when

 The court officials have not decided yet whether it will be necessary to call a petit and grand jury at the July term of court. The conditions are such that it would DO very hard for htigants to reach Valdez in time for court and witnesses in the more i'm portant cases could hardly be secured in time if it was decided to have a jury. The matter will be settled in a few days.

After all the people of Marsha ltown

thing when they get it. C-i-t-s-y-m
is M-y-s-t-i-c spelled backwards. We
wanted to arouse your curiosity ard
your interest for it will be to our mu-
tnal advantage TO do so. BY buying
Mystic flour you get good bread and
we get small profit. Our sales on his
-four have been so large that we are
able to sell it on close margin and
still make some money. Mystic is
made from the best hard Dakota wheat,
double screened so that only plump,
full kernels get into the hopper. The
most improved process is used, all
shorts and bran are absolutely removed
and only the best of the wheat kernel
retained. This flour is absolutely guar
anteed. You can take a sack home with
you. try it and if not found satisfac-
tory return it and we will refund you
the price of the entire sack. Isn't that
a fair offer? G.. w. Schick, East Main.

of the Commission Regarding BOOKS
for the Blind" a delightful vocal solo,
my World Within Thy Heart" and
encore number, were given by Mrs.
Merle N. Smith. Her accompanist
was Mrs. Charles Whitehead.
Mrs Norris expressed the commits
sion's appreciation of Miss Tyler, and
in taking up her subject, said that dur
ing the last year. the circulation Of
books for the blind has been more than
doubled. By an act of congress, these
books, necessarily of great bulk, are
admitted thru the mails free. The
speaker emphasized this as promising
field for the activities Of women's
clubs, and urged the starting and main
tanning of home teaching societies for.
,, the benefit of the blind. She told Of
the success of such movement else
where, and what the many travelling
libraries for the blind in circulation ov-
err the United States, are accomplish
ing. She said that in Iowa alone there
are 2,O14 blind people. Mrs. Norris
asked that the names of any helpless
blind people be sent to the commits
sion, that they may be given an edu-
cational benefit Mrs. Norris has C1.
display book written for the blind.
and the alphabet which is used. These
attracted considerable interest.
Mrs. H. ]. Howe spoke very delight
fully on the subject of "Iowa's Au-
thors," including those natives Of the
state and also those claimed as Iowa
authors by right of residence within rs
borders, either at the present time or
previously. She mentioned a number
and tie works by which they are pest
known, giving also brief biographical
sketch of each Among those mentions
ed were Alice French, better known
as Octave Thanet, HamEr Garland, DR.
Hills, born in Magnolia, Mrs. Mary
Rogers Miller, author of the best tree
book ever written" Emerson Hough
born in Newton, and aE.hor of the
mississippi Bubble" Herbert Quick, q
Grundy County product, now Of Sioux
City, Henry Sabin and his two sons, OF
Des Moines, DIR. Steiner of Grinnell, too
well known to need further mention,
and MISS Zollinger, also of Newton, q
writer of childrens books. Especial IN.
terest was felt in the mention of "Wol.
colt Johnson" author of can Old Mans
Idyll," who is in reality Johnson
Brigham, of the library commission,
and Miss Essie Hathaway, local high
school teacher, author of 1.-The Little
Corsican." Mrs. Howe considered that
this state should feel especially honor
ed by the fact that in the list Of holi-
day books, this year, were productions
of six Iowa authors.
The program closed with a piano

THE woMEN's CLUB.
Annual Observance of Library Found
ers' Dav Wednesday,

ers' Day Wednesday.
Wednesday was public library found
ers' day at the meeting of the Mar
shalltown Women's club, and as an es-
pecially pleasing feature, Miss Alice
Tyler, of Des Moines, president of the
National League of Library Commits
sions, and also secretary of the Iowa
Library Commission, was present, and
delivered an instructive address on the
subject of the library movement. Miss
Tyler has many Marshalltown friends
and received hearty greeting. Two
other members of the state commission
were present and gave short talks, Mrs
D. w. Norris. of Grinnell. and Mrs
HI. ]. Howe, of our own city. In the
absence of Mrs. George Darling, by
whom the program was arranged, Mrs
Fl. Fl. Nichols, vice president. presided
Miss Tyler emphasized that the aim
Of the modern library movement is not
to induce people to read more, but to
induce more people to read, and those
who do already, to read better books
She said that the movement, if not an
educational one, could not very well be
defended. She said that altho Europe
excells America in rare collections OF
books, the library as a popular educa-
tional center, thrives most in this coun-
try. Praise was given the club women
for the large part they had in securing
a library commission for the state OF
Iowa, and especial mention was made
by the speaker of the efforts of Mrs. T
j. Fletcher and Mrs. II. j. Howe, and
others, in the beginning of the move
\, tod w. To- fnr 1r1,
a commission being passed in 1900
Miss Tyler defined library extension,
and gave forcible illustrations of its
value in starting libraries in small
towns. Iowa towns method of getting
public libraries. by popular vote, is
different from that followed in most
other states, she said, where the city
councils alone decide the matter
therefore the growth of libraries in
Iowa deserves extra praise. and they
have a greater hold on the populace
when they are started. She spoke also
of the travelling library system, which
has grown to be very valuable. There
are now about $4,000 volumes in the
state travelling library. and these GO
regularly to $40 different points in
Iowa. Another Of the important ac-
tivities is the six weeks summer Ii
brary school, held at the state uni
versity. Iowa City. Other proofs were
given to show that the Iowa commits
sion is no longer an experiment. but
the speaker pointed out needs still to
be filled. In twenty five counties there
are no free public libraries, and thirty
nine county seats are without such
w hi,,fn %f 1oVN
ever, some effort has been made to Sc
cure Libraries. One splendid feature,
however. is the growth and develop
ment of libraries in state institutions,
and the great good resulting. Miss
Tylers closing remarks were eulogis-
tic of the Iowa board of library COM
missioners.
