Local Comment

Score one more victim for the booze.
Saloons furnish loafing place for the
vicious element, and 1t is not difficult
to stir up a row when the booze is at
work. Incidentally about 100000 OF
good money, which could go thru the
grocery and dry goods stores for food
and clothes for women and children,
now goes thru twenty-five saloons in
Marshalltown, SO as to furnish men like
Pell, the homocide, and Wescott, re-
Gently indicted, downtown club.
While this 100000 comes off the backs
and out Of the dinner plates of women
and children, the profits to merchants
on that much new business in their
stores would amount to 100000, to say
nothing of the losses on collections
now caused by the amount many men
spend for booze. If we could use SIM
ply these profits for public purposes,
we could give the hospital $4,000 per
year for annual support, help out the
struggle Of 100 widows for support of
their children, with say 5000 each per
year pensions, and have left enough TO
build a 100000 public building every
year. If after four or five new
churches had been built, and an audi
forum, we thought that we did not
need any more buildings. we could
pave our city streets with ctnders like
the cemetery drives at the rate of fif-
teen miles per annum This could be
done out of the profits alone on $780,
900 of business which it now requires
to furnish the kind of loafing place
sought by these men. Then We could
give this 100000 per year to the Retail
Merchants association, with instruc-
tons to use it in guaranteeing interest
on bonds enough to build forty miles
of interurban; assuming of course that
we would use only the usual store
keepers profit on 100000 of business
and that We would take care of the
hospital and the 100 widows before we
used any of the money for public
works. The comfort of Pell and Yves
colt, comes high.
OF course many men trying to sell
liquor in respectable manner dis
like to have the disreputable element
around their places, but the fact re-
mains that where saloons are permit
ted some will harbor this class and if
all were closed many of the undesir
ables would seek other communities
where the public was willing to pay
the cost Of their club rooms. Why

THE NEW STORE
Joseph Jewelry Company Opens It's
Doors to the Public - One of the
Most Complete JewcIry Stores in the

Today at 90 East Main street the
handsome new store of the Joseph
Jewelry Company was opened to the
public and it now becomes identified
with the business interests of Mar
shalltown. Explanations of surprise
and delight came from the hundreds
who thronged the store today. for the
new store is indeed a model of modern
store elegance. the fixtures being of
the latest and most convenient kind,
made of mahogany, massive and of
rich design, and everything about the
place. the arrangement, the goods and
their display, are in keeping with the
general character of the store-mod-
ern, enterprising, progressive-in every
sense one of the most complete jeWefry
stores in the west.
Not only is the store as handsome as
anything that may be seen in city OF
100000, but it's connection with the
parent store at Des Moines makes 1t
possible to carry here a line Of watches,
diamonds, hollow ware, in fact every
thing pertaining to the trade that will
give this city the same advantages en-
joyed in any city in the country.
The Joseph Jewelry Company has
been in the business in Des Moines for
nearly forty years. 1t is. one of the
substantial, successful business insti-
tutions in that city. The same methods
that have made it successful there,
will be pursued here. They promise q

That .pe6cit..

Some of the newspapers of this
state are still bandying that word
deficit" in relation to the states
finances with such freedom and mall
Ice that they have finally led them
selves as we'll as some of their read
ers TO believe that there is a de-
felt. They have come TO use the
word in the sense of stating a pos
Tive fact. The mind should be dis
abused of such misstatement: there
is no deficit in the states finances.
The "deficite shese has been so

soreheads think the present admin
istration is running the state into,
OF course, they would greatly enjoy
and relish such piece OF folly but
as they know they will not have that
satisfaction they take aSdelight in
trying to mislead the people. 1t Is
plain attempt at hypocrisy. The
Republican party hasn't run the state
into poverty or bankruptcy yet and
there is no indication that it is going

yising ways and means TO make both

DR.. HARTMAN, THE FARMER.

DR.. 8. B. Hartman, the inventor and
original manufacturer of Peruna, Is one
Of the best farmers in the Middle West.
His farm comprises several thousand
acres of the best land in the State Of
Ohio, located near the City Of Columbus.
AS an importer of French Percheron
and German Coach horses, the Doctor
has not an equal in this country.
The fowl-raising department is q
marvel of ingenuity and perfection
but, perhaps the dairy department is
where the Doctor shows his greatest
sense OF order and sanitary science.
His milk cows, of the purest Jersey
stock, have all been subjected to the
tubercultn tests, and he gives to the
City of Columbus pure milk, certified
by the Board Of Health.
The milk stables, the milk men and
the whole process of milking are alb
solutely faultless and clean.
The Doctor himself, past 20 years of age,
! is the managing head of the farm.
The Clarksburg telegram. [volume] (Clarksburg, W. Va.) 1874-1926, 1907-02-14

He himself supervises the working
details of every department.
Heis model OF strength and vitality,
and since Peruna is the only remedy he
ever makes personal use OF, his phi sical
condition is 3 testimonial to the efficacy
Of Peruna of greater value than could
be framed in words.
DIR. Hartman is one of the few doctors
who take their own medicine and his
splendid physique and strength in his
old age are an eloquent argument for
Peruna very difficult to galnsay.
DR.. Hartman, being farmer himself,
knows what the farmer needs and in
speaking Of Peruna to the farmer he
speaks to his own kind of people.

The local traction company ought
not to stop work on the present ter
minal OF the Fairmont-Cl..rksburg
interurban line in the belief that 1t is
good enough for present needs. There
should be substantial guard railing
erected around the platform which is
al present dangerous to the safety
of the public Some one might walk
off the edge OF the platform in the
dark, or slip of accidentally even in
the day time and he seriously or pos.
sibly fatally injured. Then there
should be some adequate accommo-
dation in the way of waiting room.
The small box car that is utilized
for that purpose at present does not
afford sufficient accommodation for
the comfort of waiting patrons of
the line and 1t looks very unsightly.
There should be proper provisions
for the handling of the baggage and
freight traffic also.

The question seems to be whether

White. Perhaps, If it we're shown
he is insane now, he would escape
the present trial and spare his fam
lily great deal of torture. as the

has been insane from the beginning
even so before he was born. The
insanity plea, however, will scarcely
cut much figure with the jury, as 1t
