Local Comment

7 :
II June is going to sustain
its reputation as the month of roses,
THE weather man will have to exper-
fence a sudden change Of heart and
reverse the lever that controls the
rain and sunshine.
-
Have you replanted your sweet corn
and "spuds?" Better dig down little
ways and see whether it is sprout
or rot.
Marshall county, always foremost in
affairs progressive, again takes the
lead in very important stand, the
ownership Of its own fair grounds.
Marshall county is looked upon gener..
ally turnout the state as one that can
be depended upon to assume the initia-
tive. Aside from owning a vast amount
OF well-improved property, every bit Of
which is unincumbered, the county has
in its treasury something like $780,,
900 in cash, and doesn't owe any man
one penny. The purchase Of Finkle's
park for fair grounds purposes, while
not meeting with universal approba-
ton, will be realized in time as a prop

is the only county in the state to
own its own fair grounds 1t is now
up to the fair association to make the
county fair the best exhibition Of its
kind in Iowa.
Another step toward progressiveness
was taken this week, when the board
of supervisors decided to set aside
rooms in the court house basement
for rest room purposes, apartments
where the women OF the county and
their friends may go while in the city,
arrange their toilet, check their bun
dies, and make themselves perfectly at
home> Such apartments properly con-
Quoted, will prove a great convenience
to country women, and the strength of
the petition presented to the board is
an indication of the interest taken in
the project by the women Of the
county. The details of the proposition
are not yet worked out, but will be In
due; time, or as soon as the rooms are

| available. The apartments will have
| to be furnished and a matron en-
ployed. The county will provide jani-
tor service, SO that the rooms will at
all times be kept clean and in order.
The club women OF the city will doubt
less have to take a hand In furnish
inE, and the business men In maintain
ms, the expense of the matron's hire.
BY all working together Marshalltown
can furnish fine resting place for her
women visitors, and one that will be
greatly appreciated by all who come
to the city.
Judging from the bills paid by the
county for the care of patients at
tlicted with smallpox and other con-
tagious diseases during the past win
ter, some action should be taken to
bring about changes In the law regu-
lating the assessment of the expense
incurred. IT persons become i'll of
some other disease. and are able to pay
for medical care and treatment, they
do SO without question. Why, then,
should the public be expected to bear
the expense II the illness happens to
be smallpox or some other highly in
fectious disease coming under quaran-
tine regulation? Because the law
places the burden on the county. re-
gardless OF the ability of the patient to
pay. the patient naturally takes advan-
tage of it. If an expenditure Of $1,000
or SO every year to care for scattered
cases of contagious disease in different
townships is necessitated. 1t would I'M
doubtedly pay the county to provide
township detention hospitals. where the
cases could be centralized and cared
for at more nominal expense.
Marshalltown Is on the eve Of an
other Y. M. c. A. canvass. to raise the
debt on the association building, and
provide for the expenses OF the fiscal
year. 1t is sought to extend the work
OF the association among the boys of
the city, and this cannot be done If
the association Is hampered by debt.
The canvass will not begin until $4,000.
or half Of the amount needed, is
pledged. Three thousand Of this
amount has been donated by three bus
mess men conditionally on the gift OF
$4,000 more by as many other public
spirited citizens. Who will be the 9TH
er five?

Apropos of the T.-R.'s recent discus
sion OF the graduating dress problem,
as It concerned the expense to parents
of allowing their daughters ID finish
the high school, word comes from
Woodward, Iowa, Of the self destruc-
ton of a 15-year-old school girl who
took poison because she could not bear
what she considered humiliation by
reason OF not being able to dress as
did Der classmates. Now, MARSHALL
town isn't expecting any such outcome
from the local situation. but neither
was Woodward, which experienced for
the FIRST time in the towns entire his
tory case of suicide. Because she.
was poor and could not have the finery
bestowed by fond and too indulgent
parents on their daughters, this un-
fortunate miss considered life not
worth the living. Parents, dress your
daughters sensibly but neatly for
school. In the language Of the street,
"cut out the gla4 rags" and permit
them only when the occasion demands.
which is certainly not In the school
room.

Robert Cortese. a justice Of the peace
in Paterson. y. j., who has actively aid
ed the police in the capture of Italian
Iawbreakers. was fatally wounded in his
office by the explosion of an internal ma
chine sent to him by express. He died
at midnight. Justice Cortese was -
years old and Of Italian descent. He
had been home to supper. While he was
there his son Robert who was in charge
of the office, received the internal ma
chine. which came from Newark and was
delivered by an American Express wagon.
1t had been prepaid and the boy accept
ed it and signed the receipt book. When
Judge Cortese reached the Office Robert
handed the package to him. The outside
wrapper was of paper, tied with strong
Irvine. Judge Cortese removed this paper.
Inside was another wrapping of paper
made fast with a strap, such as boys use
TO put around school books. Robert says
he was watching curiously to see what
the little box contained. His father rest
ed the package on the desk and pulled the
end of the strap toward him, so as to
loosen the tongue of the buckle. The mo-
ment he did so there was the explosion.
a mole SIX teet square was torn IN the
floor and the desk was driven down into
the cellar and torn to pieces. The boy
was hurled into a corner and seriously
bruised and burned. Judge Cortese was
found lying between the doorway and the
hole in the floor. Both legs and arms
were broken, his face and body were torn
and lacerated and his back apparently
broken. Some of the flesh was torn from
the bones. He was removed to st. Jo-
seph's hospital, where his ante-mortem
statement was secured. From the fact
that the greatest force of the explosion
was directed downward it is believed the
internal machine was filled with dyna-

Burn and One Death Results.
Che man was killed and at least thir-
teea others were injured in a fire that de-
stroyed the block occupied by Hunt
Brothers department store, several tene-
ments in fremont street, in the Roxbury
Crossing district of Boston, and caused
a property loss upward of 100000. ia
cob Gold was overcome by smoke and
died before medical assistance could
reach him. Two of the injured persons
were taken to the city hospital in a crit
zeal condition. They are Mrs. Kate Glass
and her baby, only two days old. The
fire department was hampered in reaching
the scene by the huge snowdrifts that
blocked the city streets. Many thrilling
rescues were made by police, iremen and
members of the Shawmut Athletic Club,
which was holding a meeting in the block
at the time the flames were discovered.
The blaze started in the department store,
which occupied the first floor of the brick
and wooden block that runs from Ire
mont street back to Columbus avenue.
On the fremont street side of the build
ing the tenements were occupied by TWEEN
ty families of about 120 persons.

At the conclusion of the testimony il
is expected will be heard two of the
most eloquent arguments for and
against a human life ever heard in q
New York court, when Jerome and Del.
mas will both try to convince the jury
that his side has presented the strong.
est proof.
The Thaw-White tragedy does not
constitute a new form of crime, nor
does it present any unusual underlying
causes. 1t differs only from innumera.
bic commonplace murders in it's set
tings, in the environment to which its
principals were accustomed in the
clothing and the jewels which they
wore.
Yet, while the natural outgrowth of
sin must be the same in the case of the
rich as in the poor, it is undeniable that
the interest which has peryaded the
trial Of Harry Kendall Thaw for the
murder of Stanford White is due pri-
marily to the fact that murderer and
victim were rich men. Beyond the
shadow of the Sing Sing death chair
beyond the mound which covers the
clay of White, there is the glitter of
the Thaw millions and the reflex of
the extravaganza in which White, the
PetrCnius of our day, reveled.
