Court Holds There is no Difference in tho
Law and That Councilman Can Not
Sell Goods to cty-Ex- Councilman

the Case. .A.......

8 Judge c. B. Bradshaw late Friday
afternoon made permanent the temper
airy injunction granted by the late
Judge Caswell in 1904, preventing the
city treasurer from drawing or pay
ing warrants In favor of the firms OF
four former members of the city coun-
Gil, and who furnished the city, in or
binary course of trade and in open
market, certain goods. John A. Sieg,
also ex-councilman, was the plaintiff
in the case, and brought the action,
as he claimed, as test case. The
title OF the case was John A. Sieg VS..
the city OF Marshalltown, c. c. Urine,
treasurer and L. Derby, city clerk, and
asked to enjofn the clerk and treasurer
from drawing or paying warrants in
favor of Abbott & Son. d. S. Good
Grocery Company, the Mcbride & Will
Drug Company, Henry & Bradford and
Fred Wasem. At the time the action
was started l.. c. Abbott, D. S. Good.

Plaintiff May Appeal.
That the plaintiff may appeal ts a
possibility, altho his counsel said this
morning that the latter had not been
discussed as yet. The plaintiff is not
satisfied with the ruling, as he wants
an absolute divorce.
Counsel for the defendant expressed
himself as being satisfied. MCGOWAN
will have to support us" the attorney
said, and we don't want him to have f.
divorce. We will continue to buy our
groceries, our meat and our dry goods
and have them charged to MCGOWAN,
and IL he doesn't pay the bills we will
sue him on every account"

the bill rendered was under the name
Of Frederick Wasem. and not Kreutzer
& Wasem, and it was not shown that
Peter Kreutzer had any interest in the
Wasem BILL For that reason the court
did not include the Wasem claim in
his ruling, which applies only to the
firms whose members were actually on
the council.
In making the injunction permanent
the court prohibits the different firms
from getting money from the city for
bills in the open market, holding that
it makes no difference whether the
goods were sold under contract or at
regular market value, even tho the city
received the benefit. The decision IS
in conformity with recent decision
by the supreme court from Decatur
county, which held such to be the
law.
Both sides may appeal, the plaintiff

Says Papers Would Not be Looking

Discuss catalos Houses and Thsir
Evil Effects on Retail Business.

Seventy-f five business men from cen
trail Iowa points, great maoorlty
lumber and hardware men and dealers
in building materials, met in the city
Friday afternoon for heart-to- heart
conference over the evil effects of the
catalog house. and to discuss how best
to combat these influences.
The principal speaker before the bus
mess men was w. G. Hollis, of Mime
apolis, secretary of the Northwestern
Lumbermen's Association. Mr.. Hollis
advanced many theories and told how
the business men in retail lines al
over the country were becoming
aroused. MIR. Hollis laid special stress
on home advertising and said:
Local merchants make the great
mistake of not patronizing their home
papers, and advertising extensively IN
them. II the local merchants extended
sufficient patronage to their own pa
pers the papers wouldn't be looking
for outside advertising OF catalog
houses, such as is being rum In many
papers Of Iowa today"
Mr.. Hollis went on to say that the
mail order houses were threatening the
retail business in almost every line,
and that the only thing for the mer-
chant to do was to meet the. prices
made by the catalog houses at home,
and not give the trade any excuse to
buy away from home.
While no action was taken, or no
association was formed, different lead
ing merchants OF central Iowa towns
declared that they stood ready to meet
every price of any catalog house at
any cost. In this way the merchants
think that in time they can drive the
catalog houses out OF their local
fields. ssi

have to go to New York, or even to
Chicago, to witness first-class city
shows; they have them brought to
their own doors.
Des Mones police are throwing out
the dragnet for auto speeders, and are

Yes, this is fast age were living
in, and the ThaW trial is scarcely over
until moving pictures showing the
scenes are placed before the people
hundreds of miles away. No reference
is here intended to the recent district
court scenes in this county.
1t is probably not within the province
of a newspaper to suggest to the court
a seeming duty, yet it is more than
a little further with his ruling of ex-
clusion during the MCGOWAN trial the
public would have been better salts
fed. The court did right when he de-
clared that the four children of the
warning couple be barred from hearing
the unclean evidence. and recital of
allegations entirely unfit for children.
But these children had heard them at
home; there was nothing particularly
new for them to learn. 1t was the in
nocent children mere school girls in
short dresses, who stood UP during an
entire afternoon and gazed with open
asouths, eyes and ears, taking in every
word regarding the indecent things in
volved in the trial. 1t was the day
OF parents to have prevented chilean
being there, but many parent did not
know that their children were there.
The first thought always is that it is
the other fellows kids who need re-
straint.
The good showing made by the Mar
shalltown postoffice during the past
year, of an increase of over $4,000 in
receipts over any year in the history
OF the Office is gratifying indeed, and
is proof positive that the town is still
alive and prospecting. In spite of the
removal of insurance companies and
the Iowa Central general offices, all
heavy postage purchasers, the Office
has done more business in the past
year than at any time when these in-
stitutions were in operation. There
certainly must be volume of bus
mess somewhere to fill the gap and
still show an increase.

complaining about her husbands al
legged in1delity. She talked to her doc
tors, her nefghbors and her grocer. and
in order to know, and to satisfy my
self wherein Mrs. McGowan's evidence
has been contfadicted, I have referred
to the testimony of Mrs. Liebig, when
she went with the little girl, as humane
officer. to seek redress for punishment
the child Marie had received at the
Catholic school.
II can see no occasion for Mrs. NC
Gowan saying anything about her hus-
band. Rosa Liebig's testimony was u1-
impeached, and I am not at liberty to
disregard it. There was no occasion
for Mrs. McGowan's statements at that
time" (Here the court read certain
testimony Of DR.. I.iebig, in which she
was asked to repeat certain words
Mrs MCGOWAN had told her concerning
her husband in the presence Of the lit
tie girl, and which the witness begged
to be excused in answering because
of their obscenity and vulgarity).
The court then referred to the tes-
timony of P. +. Arney, whose evidence
he considered good and that of an un-
willing witness, and was to the effect
that Mrs MCGOWAN had told him cer-
tain vulgar things before the girls.
There Is evidence enough to satisfy
this court that the woman used most
vulgar and profane language, all OF
which she denies. With that in view,
while much of her testimony may be
given credence. to Il large extent IL
given discredit in my mind.
Exonerates Mrs. McEwen.
I'm regard to the defendants evil
dence as to the plaintiffs intimacy
with Mrs. McEwen, consider it as ems
tirely imaginary or invention, and the
circumstances look to a conclusion OF
q fair-minded man as being no ground
for suspicion because the plaintiff went
up stairs after he had heard a noise on
the roof. Mrs. McGowan's testimony to
the effect that the plaintiff had said
that he had been intimate with Mrs,
McEwen right under her nose, and she
wasn't smart enough to know IT. is. to
my mind, absolutely discredited.
Wife Blamed for Husbands Departure.
II think the defendant in this case
has been almost insaneIy Jealous. or In
clined to make disturbance. She is to
blame for Mr.. MCGOWAN going away
from home the last time.
There will be a decree in this case
denying divorce to the plaintiff, and
denying the petition for separate nain-s
tenarce on the part Of the defendant.
The costs will fall on Mr.. MCGOWAN.

For Certain conditions-Plaintiff
May Appeal; Defense Satisfied.

Judge G.. B. Bradshaw, in the district
court today, gave his opinion I'M the
sensational MCGOWAN divorce case,
and leaves the couple to fight it out
on the same old lines. The petition OF
the plaintiff, Charles T. McGowan, for
divorce, is denied, as is also the petition
for separate maintenance and $500
alimony on the part Of the defendant,
Mrs. Este1le MCGOWAN. The costs,
above a certain amount already fur
nished by the plaintiff, are taxed to the
plaintiff, with the exception of the cost
Of the defendants witness fees.
The court spoke some pretty plain
words. especially in regard to the con-
duct Of the defendant, Mrs. MCGOWAN,
whom he blan1es for certain conditions,
and for her husband leaving home the
last time In the matter OF q tongue
contest tile court considered that the
plaintiff twas entirely outclassed, and
said. that if the plaintiff did use his
fists. althio he would not say that he
did, he thought he had been driven to
desperation, and it was a wonder ne
did not 81, further. The court believes
the defendants testimony. when she
claims never to have used vulgar or
obscene language before her children,
ito have been clearly disproved. The
court also believes that the charges
against l1rs. McEwen, named as CO.
respondent in the defendants cross
petition, were uncalled for and I'M
founded, and classed them as wmag-
mary or am invention" upon the part OF
the defendant. The court considers
the defendant either as insanely jealous
or inclined to make a disturbance.
