individuals may feel themselves
agrieved when the hum OF industry
makes some noise about town. but peo-
pie who own property would feel lnuch
more injury IL our local factories would
shut down or move away In any large
number. The stopping ofthe pay check
would cause a silence In many a home
far more uncomfortable than the noise
of a trip hammer The readiness with
which an agent was found who would
buy this property at fair price was
evidence of prosperous times which
factories produce. The good of the
greatest number of the community at
large is best served by giving protec-
ton and a square deal to the factory
which employs men. The Retail Mer-
chants association should establish
what the laboring men call defense
fund, and be ready with real assistance
when a local factory is unfairly at
tackled. The bidding which rival TOWNS
do to rob one another of their factories
makes 1t a matter of public concern to
see that our own institutions are not
driven away by petty persecution.

FOUR NEW ENGINEERS.
Iowa Central Sets Up Class of Four,
and Will Examine Another.

" ~
Master Mechanic Feeley, Of the Iowa
Central has announced the successful
nassing of the examinations for engl-
neers by a class of four fremen, who
were examined a few days ago. The
new engineers are Glen Boggie, John
Nelson. Ray Runneals and William
Quigley all of this city All or the
young men started firing at the same
time, in February, 1902, and have been
en- duty continuously. Securing an en-
CINE in five years time is considered
good record.
Boggie, WIZ is a son Of John W..
Boggie, one Of the Oldest brakemen on
the Central, has been firing for Bob
Holt and John Nell on the Story CITY
branch. Ten years ago he was news
boy in the employ Of the T.-R.. and
sold papers at the depots. Nelson has
been firing for Johnny" Norton on l
and 2, and 6, and Quigley has been
with Nick Miller on the same pas
senger runs. Runneals looks after the
coal supply for the veteran engineer,
"Mose" Arquette, on 8 and 4.
The examinations for engineers are
being conducted at this time in order
to have a supply when business picks
up in the fall 1t is likely the class
just passed will get engines about the
first of October. Another examination
for fremen to become engineers, and
brakemen to become conductors, will
be held next week. The Rock Island
examination for both is also given here
at the same time. All Iowa Central
engine and trainmen have to pass the
Rock Island examination because the

information that has reached this
country from Paris, France, is TO the
effect that the Carmelite Sisters. a re-
licious order of the Catholic church,
seeking a refuge in the United states
to escape the religious difficulties IN
France, have decided on Iowa as field
of labor, and Marshalltown as the point
at which the mother house will be estab-
lished. The statement of Mother Ma
RE de Zion, who heads the order, is to
the effect that Marshalltown Will be
the Headquarters, and that other COM
munities will be established turnout
the west.
The Carmelite Sisters form one of
the strongest orders in religion in
France, and have conducted for many
years what has been considered the
leading seminary for young women in
that country. This school has been
closed, however, by order of the
French government, as a result OF the
state, which is still current in France.
is a Clustered Order.
The Carmelite Sisters form clois-
tered order, living a life of absolute Sc
clusion excepting where dispensation
is given to teach or do other work. The
regular line of the sisterhood Is fancy
work, and some of the richest, costly
and most beautiful vestments used in
the Catholic church are made by these
sisters. Their work includes fine en-
broidery and needle work with silk and
gold, in building robes and other vest
ments used in the church.
Fitzpatrick Not Advised.
Rev. j. j. Fitzpatrick, d. D., Of St.
Mary's, knows nothing of the contem-
plated change in the orders headquar-
tiers, but stated today that if the order
were to come to this country he would
do everything within his power to en-
courage the establishment of the
mother house In this city. 1t is neces-
sary, before religious order estab-
fishes Il mother house, that the arch
bishop of the diocese sought as a ref
uge be consulted, and give his consent
Furthermore, the archbishop consults
the parish priest of the city selected as
headquarters, to see that there is no
reason why the request should not be
granted
DR.. Fitzpatrick stated today that
while he had heard nothing from
Archbishop Keane, who is now at Bad
Naeuheim, Germany, the archbishop
may have seen Mother Marie de Zion,
given her his consent to enter his do
cese, and that the word to Fitzpatrick
may not as yet have had time to
reach him.
Iowa Has Many Mother Houses.
Iowa has many mother houses OF
religious communities, and Marshall-
town has never yet been chosen as the
headquarters of an order Ottumwa is
the home of the Sisters Of the, Holy
Humility of Mary, which has a COM
munity here; Davenport, Dubuque, Ce-
dar Rapids, Iowa City and Independ-
ence all have mother houses Of the
Sisters of Mercy which also has a
community here; and Dubuque is the
home Of. the largest order in the Unit
ed States, the Sisters of the Blessed

lowest qualifying score with SO.
For some unaccountable reason the
quality OF golf exhibited In the quali-
flying rounds was generally poor, and
much Of it was wretched. Almost all
of those who entered were unable to
equal scores they had frequently made
in practice. The score of SO, with
which MIR. Boardman won the medal
for the qualifying rounds, is eleven

qualified with a score of 90 was the

Goat Gets a Ride in
Patrol and Enjoys 1t

w. Goat, very respectable In appear
ance, also in odor, was gathered In by
Officer Breckel, Of the police force last
evening, for "aboundin' and abuttin'
on the public highway" 1t isn't very Of
ten that a goat gets a ride in patrol
wagon, but John Kennedys William
has established a precedent. .
William strayed from home yesterday
afternoon, and wandered aimlessly
about n1editating on the strenuosity of
being hitched daily to his masters
wagon and compelled to do such
mental tasks as hauling all the kids
in the neighborhood. The more he med
itated the friskier he became, because
he realized that he was to have Fri
day afternoon off,
Now all well-regulated goats in the
south part of town are not supposed
to cross the dead line of Main street,
or at any rate to enter the sanctified
precincts Of the Second ward, but that
Is Just what William did. A telephone
to the mayor did the rest William had
been tempted by the tree Of knowledge,
and, like Adam, fell. 1t was not Mrs.
Wigs cabbage patch that he entered,
but that belonging to the owner OF a
feminine voice who refused to give the
mayor her name. It was "a suffic1ency'
to inform the executive that said goat
was eating her cabbages. OFFICER
Breckel was dispatched and so was the
goat, who retired in good order. AS IT
was just 6 o'clock, and time to change
BEATS Officer Breckel switched the
duty to Officer Edgar. William
switched his tail.
AT the pound at the South Third av-
enue fire station William was picketed
for the night, and appeared to enjoy
the greensward as change from cab
bages. Young Kennedy later took him
back to the old home, after paying the
impounding fee.

Local Comment

It is real pleasure to look upon
the beautiful library lawn and marvel
on the improvement as compared to
the eyesore that greeted the passerby
only a few short years ago. Instead Of
a pile of junk and the dirt and rub
bish Of market place for farm truck,
a handsome building and a nicely seeded
lawn with pretty flowers here and
there, appeals to the eye. The flowers
on the library lawn, which are adj
mired by all who pass, especially from
State street, show what little spare
time each day will do toward keeping
a yard in good shape. The boys of the
central fire station, under the personal
direction Of Chief Kirby. look after the
flower beds, and their work is credit
to a landscape gardener. Chief Kirby
has some good ideas that he hopes to
install in another year that will make
the library lawn even more beautiful.
n
Couldn't some enterprising theatrical
manager figure out how a few more
theaters could be made to pay in Mar
shalltown? We now have promise Of
four amusement houses that will be in
A'SSes'Ol1
fall. If the increase continues in the
same proportion as it has within the
past year, there will not be so many
in ano Their year.

Marshalltown this week was selected
without solicitation on her part as the
meeting place in 1908 OF the Iowa State
Sunday School association, which is
the most representative body of
Christian young people in Iowa, be-
cause of the fact that it is interde-
nominational. Marshalltown is recog-
nized by the state officers as the most
central point to hold a convention. and
for that reason wanted an invitation to
come from this city. Conventions dis
trbuted in out-of-the way quarters of
the state in recent years have not been
largely attended because of the In
ability of easy access.

reunion Of the Marshall county pion-
GERS, an event that is always looked

Cross Petition, Seeks Damages for
Alleged sanderous Statements
About Her Character.

District court last winter, was eooas
made the basis Of another suit by
witch Mrs Ida A. McEwen. OF Mariet-
tn. seeks to recover $4,000 damages
from Mrs. Estella MCGOWAN, because
of alleged slanderous statements MADE
i, Mrs. McGowan's cross petition OF
the divorce case. Mrs. McEwen was
named by Mrs. McGowan's petition as
a correspondent and serious reflections
were cast upon her character.
1t is chiefly on this charge made by
Mrs. McGowan in her petition that the
claim for the present damage SUIT Is
brought. 1t Is alleged, however, thae
the same or similar statements were
made by Mrs. MCGOWAN to others.
The following, alleged TO be the exact
wording of part of the MCGOWAN cross
retition on which the case rests, is:
THAT the plaintiff, (referring to MI.
McC;owan) wholly in disregard of his
marriage vows, has, at various times
become enamored of women, ana mas
committed acts of adultery with one
Mrs. McIcwen.'

(.owan mahciously gave utterahee 10
such statements which she knew 70 De
untrue. The quotation from the peti-
tIon and the statements OF Mrs NC
{;owan are declared to be defamatory,
slanderous and libelous.
The allegation Is set forth that, pc
cause Of the reference made to her IN
the petition, and because of the state
rnents of Mrs. MCGOWAN that Mrs. NC
Even has been greatly damaged, m
jured, and has been caused to surfer
great mental anguish and humilia tiofl.
