Drummer MAKES A RECORD.
Local Pedestrian Sets New Mark for
Amateurs in Quarter Mile Walk.

The mile walking race between j. III
Drummer Of this city, and A. H. Moore,
Of waverly, which was scheduled as
the feature for the second night or the
Royal Highlanders' carnival at Flnkie's
hall, was not walked Tuesday night be-
cause Mr.. Moore had sprained his right
leg. Instead Mr.. Drummer consented 10
go against the amateur walking record
for a quarter mile, which he lowered
from 2:2S to 2:12. A path was marked
off across the hall on which the trial
was made. The record is, of course,
not official, as 1t was not made under
the supervision of American Amateur
Athletic Association The judges were
I. E. Huber and William Jordan, and
the timer was Samuel Dillon.
Mr.. Drummer today formally accented
the challenge of NJ. Russell, OF Lis
comb who is now in Kansas City, for
a purse of either $500 or 5000. Mr..
Brunner's stipulations are that the dis
lance must be two miles, and that the
race must take place in this city. He
is willing to walk either on the turf or
indoors.

today to Hamilton Browne and all 9TH
err investors in public improvements in
Marshalltown. The special election of
Tuesday which resulted in the car
rying Of the interurban tax aid prop
osition, sustains the old reputation
Marshalltown has enjoyed for years,
as a progressive and up-to-date city,
and one anxious at all times to forge
ahead. Marshalltown will not now be
classed with the has beens,' and the
municipal eyes of the state, which have

Despite the active opposition that
was centered against this, rs well as
any other proposition where an In
crease In taxes Is involved, the per
cent levy was carried in every ward of
the city, but one, the Fifth. The wom-
ems vote was not so fiattering to the
proposition, and but two wards, the
First and the Fourth, were carried for
the tax aid. In the Fifth there was but
one woman loyal to the business inter-
ests Of the city, and against her were
twenty eight.
A total OF 1879 votes was cast In the
city, the mems vote being 1861 and

Of the mems vote was 369 in favor of

the prosecution left no doubt In the
minds of the court and hearers that ne
knew more about the crime than MIS-.
Clements.
1T was the theory Of the detectives
that Mrs. Clements had overinsureo,
feigned a robbery, and set fire to her
own office. The statement was made
many times that the contents OF the
Office were not worth more than $2oo,
and that she had policy for $l,2Oo.
This is where a slight explanation
might have helped the detective force
had they paid any attention to her in
the case. Her main storeroom and
workroom contained the principal part
Of her stock, printing presses, type
outfit, ETC., all of which, together with
her Office equipment and stock IN the
office, invoiced more than $1,000 at the
time the policy was taken out, and, at
the time of the robbery, the goods
alone invoiced a little over $1,000.
"The fire, as will be seen by the fore
going statement, was not started In the
room where the principal part of her
property was located, for in the office
was only about $500 worth of goods.
The insurance policy covered the
goods both In the Office and storeroom,
and included the printing press, type
writer, furniture, fixtures, etc.
Mrs. Clements is either innocent or
guilty. No one who Is acquainted with
the facts and circumstances can even
have single doubt as to her inno-
cence.
1.-THE sensational reports printed at
the time, were in my opinion, mere fool
ishness, having absolutely nothing on
which such theory could be reason
ably based. Mrs. Clements neighbors
the wrong they had done her. They
promised, am told. but have not as yet
acted; so q good woman and her fam
lily must suffer because they do not
seem inclined to spoil what they had
printed as startling sensation.
"The financial loss, as far the the
robbery Is concerned, is small as COM
pared with the loss of time and bust
ness, and both Of those together are
not equal to the physical and mental
injuries sustained.
II need not say anything to the peo-
pie OF Marshalltown in support of Mrs.
Clements character. have taken an
interest in this matter because of my
love Of justice, and believe that the
people OF Marshalltown and the terri
tory adjacent will be interested to read
such statement as this
II might add further that Mrs. Gle
ments was a patron Of mine while I
was conducting Dudley Business Col
lege in your city, and found her bus
mess. like and conscientious in meeting
her financial obligations and ambitious
for the education of and success Of her
son and daughter. I say without any
doubt whatever that Mrs. Clements has
been irreparably wronged, and that the
detectives and newspapers Of this city
are not guiltless until they make some
effort to right, as far as possible, the
great wrong done her, as it is in their
power to do. Respectfully,
"A. w. DUDLEY"

Supervisors Of Marshall and Story
Counties Take Up Drainage Ditch.
A joint meeting of the boards Of SUI
pervisors of this and Story county was
held today to appoint commission to
assess the benefits to be derived from
the Story Marshall county drainage
ditch and to make preparations for let
ting the contract. Because of the large
number of claims for damages it has
been decided that large part of the
ditch will be made Of drain tile and will
be covered, and only part OF it will be
left open This change in the original
plans of the ditch has caused to be
waived the appeal of all but two OF
those who had appealed from the find
ing Of the commissioners who assessed
the damages. A session VIII probably
be held tonight to close the details.
Story county Is represented at the
hearing by E. r. Silliman, j. o. Mich
aelson and B. Johnson, supervisors; F.
S. Dunahugh. auditor. and H. E. Had
ley, assistant county attorney of Story
county. Ed. Schilling, w. N. Gilbert,
of State Center, and John M. Wells, OF
Nevada, the engineer who has prepared
the plans, also attended the hearing.

The golden wedding Of Mr.. and Mrs.

by Mr.. and Mrs. c. E. Bovee, Of Storm
Lake, nephew and niece The groom
wore with much pride his wedding
shirt Of fifty years ago, garment of
fine stitch and texture, made and pre-
sented to him by his bride. The 166
pleats embraced in its makeup are
suggestive Of the true love that would
prompt such an undertaking Of hand
work
"All the details Of this most pleasant
reception were carefully and happily
attended. Miss Jennie Jarvis received
in the afternoon and John Wallace in
the evening. Misses Minnie Stowe and
Lulu Wallace served ice cream and
cake and Miss Grace Austin presided

DEFENSE OF MRS. CLEMENTS.
A. w. Dudley, Formerly Of This City,
Thinks Great Injustice is Done.

A. w. Dudley, Formerly Of This City,
Thinks Great Injustice 10 Done.
In defense of Mrs. w. III. Clements,
formerly OF this city, Mr.. A. w. Dud-
ley, formerly proprietor of the Dudley
Business College. in this city. now of
Des Moines, addresses a commun1ca-
ton to the Times Republican, in which
/ he wishes to set right before the public
certain sensational charges that were
preferred against Mrs. Clements in Des
Moines, as result of fire in her Of
fee. Mr.. Dudley considers that Mrs.
Clements has been greatly wronged by
the newspapers of Des Moines which,
he says, have refused to, publish q
statement as to her being exonerated at
the hearing OF her case. Mr.. DudleyU
communication follows:
"Editor Times-Repub1ican believe
that the readers OF the Times-Re-
publican would like to know the truth
about the sensational reports concern
ing Mrs. w. H. Clements, who was
formerly resident Of Marshalltown.
and whose son and daughter were in
the Marshalltown high school and are
well known in your city. There have
been so many misstatements concern
ing the case, and persons with whom ]
have talked, who know nothing Of Mrs.
Clements, are in very doubtful state
of mind as to what the true situation
was. Here are the facts as I have
learned them:
ION the evening of December 13,
Mrs. Clements took dinner with
friend on Grand avenue, and upon her
return, and while waiting for her car,
on the corner of Seventh and Walnut,
opposite her office, she observed that
a window in her office was open and,
thinking it had been left open by ac-
cident, went up the stairs to close it.
when she was brutality assaulted, rob-
bed and left unconscious by her door.
The robber secured about 800, and
fired the office. After the fire was ex-
tinguished, the officers did not see any
one they thought could possibly have
done it, and without giving her a
chance to recover from her dazed con-
dition so that she could give some clue
to ascertain the perpetrators, they ac-
cused her of setting fire to her own Of
fee. A warrant was sent to her house
the next day, when she was unable
to leave her bed. Mrs. Clements was
not arrested. but appeared voluntarily
the following week, and in a few
days was granted a hearing.
1.-The hearing revealed the true stu
alton and showed up the faulty work
of the detectives. Mrs Clements was
exonerated and dismissed without hav-
ing to offer a witness in her defense.
Her position and character were I'M
assailable, and the main witness for

BROWNING CLASS TREAT.
Rev. Merle Smith Gives Fine Addres.
Before Twentieth Century organiza-

ton.
At the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. H. ].
Howe Tuesday evening, the members
Of the Browning class Of the Twentieth
Century club, their husbands and few
guests, listened to what all agreed upon
as one Of the finest treats they had
ever enjoyed, lecture by Rev. Merle
N. Smith on Robert Browning's "The
r; 3 and the Book" About fifty were
present.
Rev. Smith said that "the genius Of
Browning was not a subject for de-
bate, any more than the genius Of
Shakespeare. The Ring and the
Book is his masterpiece. and differs
in method from all other great TRACE
dies, in that it is without movement,
and emphasizes the infinite impor-
lance Of small things. Browning does
not describe his characters thoughts
he compels them to describe their own
thoughts" Then followed an analysis
Of the chief characters of the poem,
Tompilia, Count Guido and the Priest
Caponschacci. The speaker spoke Of
the former as the rarest portrait Of q
woman by creative genius.
