MarshaIItown Business Man Discusses
a Question of Gift Livingstone
Remarks or Usefulness and Dura-

IT don't believe" said c. f. Schmidt,
the hardware man, this morning, that
there is anything more sensible and
that will give more lasting pleasure in
the way of gifts than nickled goods.
They last almost as long and cost only
a small amount as compared with sill
yer, besides having many qualities
that recommend them in preference to
silver. I have had one of these little
gold lined nickel sets in my home for
nine years and have used it constantly.
yet it looks as we'll today and has
required but little care" And with
this introduction Schmidt showed a
line of nickled goods that was a revel-
alton to his patrons. Beautiful little
cream and sugar sets, some gold lined,
others nickled, tea sets, tea pots, cof-
fees, chatting dishes, trays, baking
dishes, nut bowls, syrup pitchers, in
dividual pieces Of various sorts. Cof-

MARSHALLT0WN OUT
This City Dropped From the Iowa
State League at Quincy Meeting -
Name Of Circuit Changed to Gen.
trail Base Ball Association.

MarshalltoWn is down and out in a
professional base ball way. This is the
outcome, locally, Of the annual meeting
Of the Iowa State League at Quincy,
Ill, yesterday, when this city's fran
chise was declared forfeited because
Of last seasons attendance. The fran
chise was voted to KeWanee, I'LL. The
name Iowa State League was changed
to the Central Base Ball Association,
and its membership will now be
Quincy, Jacksonville and Kewanee, Ill.
Burlington, Keokuk, Oskaloosa, Ottum-
wa, and Waterloo.
President J.. H. Holland, of the
Three r. league was present at the
meeting, and an effort was made by
him to trade cities of the two leagues
in order that the circuit of each might
be made more compact, and thus re-
duce travelling expenses. Nothing In
this direction, however, was accom-
plished.
Both Kawanee, and Hannibal, Mo-,
were represented at the meeting by
delegations, and both were after the
Marshalltown franchise, which went to
KaWanee. Hannibal then made an eff
fort to have the Ottumwa franchise
transferred to it, but this failed to
carry. The only, change made in the
bylaws was the increasing Of the
game guarantee from $50 to $35. Fol-
lowing the meeting the delegates were
entertained at supper by the Quincy
association.
The dropping Of Marshalltown
leaves Waterloo in a rather lonesome
position, and means that it to will I'M
doubtedly be dropped at some future
time. BY removing M~arshalltown Wa
terloo is left a long ways from the
nearest town of the circuit, Oskaloosa.
Heretofore this city has always been
the connecting link between Waterloo
and the balance of the circuit, and
without it leaves a jump Of more than
100 miles from Waterloo to the near
est town to the south, which is Os-
kaloosa. This will tend to greatly in
crease the travelling expenses to Wa
terloo, and will work materially
against that city.

PEDDLERS of all kinds are supposed
to pay license fee for the privilege
of annoying housewives but it is not
likely that all of these gentry that
have been making nuisances of them
selves in the outlying sections of the
city of late have contributed to the
treasury. The Council has ordered
the police to see to it that the junk
dealers pay in their license money
and it might be just as well to look
after the peddlers little also. Even
if the fees received did not pay the
expenses of collection the enforce
ment of the law would drive a good
many of them out of the city and that
is just what it was intended to do.
The license fee was intended to dis.

THE Council, recognizing the need
of the extension of the street railway
system and the demand for the service
in the outlying sections of the city,
has beeB more than generous with
Mr.. Frost. 1t has given him about
all he asked for with Che understand
ing that the extensions needed were
to be put in at once, and he will un-
doubtedly carry out his part of the
bargain and build the new lines as
soon as possible. It is for his inter-
ests to do so, for it is unlikely that
the Council could be persuaded to
grant any extension of time on the
new ordinances just passed on any
pretext whatever, and the rights he
has just secured are very valua BILE to
his company. The demand for better
service is possibly a good and sufi-
cient reason for giving Mr.. Frost
streets on which he is to build i'm
mediately, but when he asks for fur

cred by the franchise originally
granted to Mr.. Arnold, he asks too
much. That is another matter en-
tirely. The company has never made
move to build on these streets since
the ordinance was passed and it's
rights to the streets have simply been
used to shut out competition and give
Mr.. Frost absolute command of the
local street railway situation, and if
the city can get possession Of these
streets again it had better do so. The
city would certainly be in a better
position to do business with Mr..
Frost in the future or with any other
company seeking an entrance to the
city if it has control of a few Of its
own streets.

Leaders of Zion City,s Free Love Colony
Are Finally Married at waulkegan
After three weeks defiance of the
state marriage law, during which
time they have occupied separate
cells IN the Lake county Jail, Miss
Lucy Crosby and Arthur Bales, the
former Zion City leaders, Monday sent
note to Sheriff Elvin Griffin of
Waukegan telling him they had given
way-that they wished to be married.
The sheriff was busy Monday, hence
the ceremony did not take place until
Tuesday when the couple appeared
before Justice Weiss in Waukegau
and were married in the same room
where, three weeks ago, they openly
Hdefed the marriage law, proclaiming
that they believe it is up to man and
woman to marry themselves without
aid of outsiders.
Miss Crosby was quite a leader in
Zion for time, having two hundred
followers. Her teaching was that
marriage under law is farce and to
prove her theory correct, she pick
ed up Bales as her husband, openly
declared him so in Racine and was
Mortified when the Zion police ar
rested them upon their return on the
charge of adultery.
When bound to the grand jury, both
refused 10 be married under the law
and thus escape prison, saying that
they would remain ia Jail forever
rather than violate their belief. Three
weeks, however, proved sufficient for
them. Both stated after their mar
rage that they would carry on their
teachings, urging people to wed
themselves and not under the law.

I Terrible INJURED; HOLDS ON

James Rankin, horse trainer,

cident this morning, when his horse
frightened at train leaped over the
embankment near the corner of Di-
vision street and the crossing Of the
North Western railway. Rankin held
on to his horse and did not leave the
saddle. but he paid for his daring
with terrible injuries. The horse
that Rankin was riding is said to have
been a member of team which a
short time ago had been struck by a
train and the mate of the horse was
killed. Rankin had ridden to the
show grounds and was starting west
when the train came along. The
horse saw the train and with the in
stinct of danger bred in him by the
former accident he leaped over the
embankment. The horse climbed the
hill and Rankin still hung on to the

loosened. AS soon as possible he was
taken to the Office Of DR.. Spalding,
where his injuries we're dressed. AS
soon as his wounds had been cared
for, Rankin left the Office and went
out to hunt for the horse. The ami
NAL was found, and Notwithstanding
the fact that the man was bleeding
from dozen bad wounds, he insisted
that he was going to ride the horse
home. 1t is not thought that Ran
kin's injuries will prove serious, but
the man was terribly bruised up and he
will probably be sore for several
weeks.

increase 10 Pay Of Police Officers
Makes Candidates for Office
More Plentiful
HOLD EXAMINATIONS MAY %
Commission Has Already Received 20
Applications for Places and More
Are Expected to .ome- in
This Afternoon


There has been change of heart
among the men of Kenosha, and not
withstanding the fact that a few
months ago the Police and Fire Com
n1issioners was searching the city to
find men to accept places on tne po-
lice force, the Commissioners are now
being overwhelmed with applications
for jobs and it is expected that no less
than thirty4men will take the examin-
atoms for positions in the pay Of the
city tomorrow. Twenty applications
are already ia the hands of Secretary
Priddis, of the Commission, and he
has been advised that more are COM
ing. The recent action of the Council
IN increasing the salary of the officers
SIS month and the installation Of the
police patrol telephone system seems
to have added attraction to the jobs.
There is now a vacancy on the po-
lice force, as since the resignation of
Officer Carr several months ago the
Commissioners have not been able to
get man to fill the position. Seven
of the men who have now filed appli-
cations are seeking places on the po-
lice force, and the other thirteen are
seeking positions with the Fire De-
partment. There is one vacancy IN
the Fire Department. Most Of the
men want to be drivers either of some
Of the fire wagons or Of the new patrol
wagon.
1.
the most interesting ever held by the
police and fire commissioners and as
the applicants are all pretty good
men it is expected that there will be
long waiting list for both the fire
and police departments. The members
of the commission are seeking to
devise some scheme by which the men
seeking positions as police officers
may be held subject to call as it has
been shown that the city is in great
need of an emergency police depart
ment. If possible all of the men will
be put on the rolls as officers and
some arrangement be made by which
they will be on duty only when called.
During the Allen strike the Chief of
Police had q hard time finding men
who were willing to serve as special
policemen and many of the members
Of the Common Council were called in
to serve. 1t is also thought advisable
TO have few waiting meu for the fire
department. Should the time ever
come that the volunteer firemen are
mustered out of service these men on
the waiting list would have the first
chance for places on the department.
