OF the pest Known SrOCeEy Sdiesiish
in west Iowa, with G. G. Prouty, OF
Des Moines, met with a terrible acct
dent one week ago. In stepping out of
doors at his home, he fell and a wire
that hung from a tree struck him IN
the eye and cut it open. A friend who
called on him Friday last, at the hos
pital in Sioux City. reports that the
doctors are afraid he will lose the oth-
er eye. Hugh is a member In good
standing Of the Hawkeye, I. S. T. M.
A., and U. G. T., who pay benefits OF
$1,250 for loss Of one eye, or $4,000 for
loss of both. His many friends are
pleased to know that he is we'll insured
against accident. We all hope to hear
that Hugh may be spared one; eye.
The order issued by the superinten-
dent of the Iowa Central, instruct-
ing No. 2, due out Of our city at $3.50
o. M, to wait ten minutes for the
C. & N. w. No. II, west bound. that
is due out at the same time, will
surely be appreciated by the travelling
public. Now, II they would have their
! night trains north bound out of<Pick-
ering wait ten minutes for the c., NJ.
& ST. p, No. 6 east bound, it would
help out immensely with MARSHALL
town travellers. AS it4is now, the Cen
trail is due out just one minute ahead
of the c., NJ. & st. P. No one knows
how convenient it is for passengers
to wait at Pickering for eight hours In
the night, unless they have tried 1t.
Will F. Zieke with Warfield-How-
ell Grocery Co.. of Des Moines, when
in our city on Wednesday last, was
buying up milk bottles, in order that
he might carry milk with him on his
trip to Perry on Friday. Will Is
strictly teetotaler, as he drinks moth
ing but milk, and at Perry they have
got the craze on canned milk, and as
the hotels dish it up he could not
stand the dope.
w. A. Preston, an old time Iowa
traveller, but for the past eleven years
with the Central Rubber Company, of
Chicago, with his home at Lincoln,
Neb., passed thru our city one day
last week on his way to Chicago. Mr..

died four weeks ago, from heart trou-
BILE, while he was away from home.
Mr.. and Mrs. Preston resided at Ce-
dar Rapids prior to moving to Me-
braska. Our brother has the SYM
pathy Of his friends in his sadness.
If the interurban one-hour service
to be put on between Des Moines and
Ames is continued to Marshalltown, 1t
surely would be a great help to our
city, and would give us, besides one
hour service to Ames and Des Moines.
the same service to Boone and Fort
Dodge.

the Marshalltown Vinegar and Pickle
works, called on trade in towns on the
C., M. & st. p. last week Mr.. Dean
is, a til eless worker for one Of his
years.
II there is any one thing F. e. Stew
art, of Minneapolis, enjoys when visit
ing in Marshalltown, is to win game

has been sick ever since, and he hates
to admit the strain was to much for
him.
