TOWN CAN'T
GET RELIEF,
COURT SAYS

The demurrer OF defendants In the

Judge Mumford OF the superior court
The, bill of complaint charged defendants
with maintaining In the town OF Gran
ston a slaughtering house and rendering
establishment 10 the nuisance or the
town and recites that the town council
never licensed the defendants TO carry
on said business, but. In fact, ordered
them 10 abate the nuisance.
These questions were raised by The
demurrer: Whether equity has jurisdic-
tion to enjoln a public nuisance; whether
the plaintiff not alleging SPECIAL injury
TO itself In its corporate capacity, can
maintain "A bill 10 enjoin public nui-
sancea An information lies as wei as
an Indictment In case OF public null
sances, Judge Mumford says.
As TO the claim that complainant Is
bound to maintain the public health, his
honor finds that the statutes contain
very broad provisions concerning the
towns duty i'm relation TO highways, In
functions having been granted enjoining
distractions to highways, but he finds
no such broad provisions as TO the
towns duty to care for the health OF its
citizens and no corresponding liability
on the part OF the town.
Judge Mumford concludes his rescript
with these words: Counsel have re-
ferred the court to no statute broad
enough TO enabN the town TO maintain
this bill. I am OF the opinion that the
nuisance can be enjoined only on infor-
nation by the attorney general or bill

special injury The demurrer Is sus-

and fastest money-making investment al
the present day.
Mr. Bennett at Oakland Beach can
show you over 20 cottages that are bring
ing their owners 20 per cent on their In

I'm process OF erection tells the writer
that he has had 16 applications to rent
Il the coming season. Ten days ago he
came here with the idea of building one
cottage for his own use. now he Is to

What makes Oakland Beach real estate
valuable: First-Transportation to and

When you put your money In Oakland
Beach lots it's safe. II can't run away.
II can't be lost. II can't be destroyed.
Don't put your money In mining or oil

William Jennings Bryan says: Real
estate is the best investment for small
savings. More money is made from the
rise In real estate values than all other
causes combined. To speculate in stocks
is risky, and even dangerous. but when
you buy real estate you are buying an in

of the berry business in Marshall

mess in general in Marshalltown For
instance E. E. Hood & Co., the whole
sale dealers, shipped this week two
car loads of strawberries to the Mime

handle this business means a great
saving to Marshall county farmers and
fruit growers There is no doubt that
had these two carloads of berries been
thrown ON the home market 1t would
have practically paralyzed the business
here and great many of the berries
would have been spoiled. AS it was
the home market was well supplied,
but not Quilted.

CLEAN AND HIGH CLASS
Sensational Attractions at the Big
Mid Summer Carnival Will be of
Highest Quality = Nothing Immoral
or Suggestive.

For the excellence of attractions, the
safety comfort and pleasure of their
patrons and correct character of serv-
ice, the Harry Lukens' Hippodrome
er carnival organization on the road
today. Each and every attache and
employe Of the company is constantly
under the direction of Mr.. Luken and
Mr.. Gates and their methods of con-
slant care of their patrons is systema-
tized to marked degree.
No immoral or suggestive shows are
carried with the company. Each and
every attraction Is meritorious and
worthy the support OF everybody.
Music will be one of the pleasing
features of the mid summer carnival,
and the cowboy and cowgirl band is
said to be ore of the finest organiza-
tons of its kind.
Scout" Younger, manager of the
wild west show. will offer reward Of
s25 to the owner of any wild, unbroken
horse that cannot be thoroughly sub
dued and ridden by any of his cow
boys. This reward stands for the en-
tire week. The antics and actions Of
the cowboys in the big open air arena
are exceedingly fascinating and SEN
sational. Daring and death at times
strive for mastery between the rider
and his mount, and thru some strange
freak of human nature, it has ever
been the desire of the multitude, ire
spective of social standing, to witness
scenes of daring that may possibly
mean death to those engaged in them.
Not that any one except the criminal
degenerate wishes to see a human be-
ing mutilated or sent to any untimely
pressible craving to see all former
feats of dare-lieviltry outdone.
For anyone but the experienced rid
err who mounts these wild, untamed
animals. or the experienced trainer
who enters the arena with the wild
and ferocious beasts the act would be
suicide. To the fearless wild beast
trainer or reckless, devil may-care
comboy it is considered an ordinary
occurrence, yet to the performance
thrill that is almost mesmeric is given
to the audience, increasing in Intensity
as each daring act is completed, and
finally, when the performances are over
and the Nperformer reaches safety,
hearts beat easier and the prayers that
have been on the lips of all for their
safety burst forth into one mighty
cheer Of admiration for these dare
devils Of the twentieth century.
The gates of the big midway will
open promptly at 200 o'clock Monday
evening, and from that time on to the
closing on the following Saturday night
the carnival is yours to be made happy
with.
The first free attraction will be put
on promptly at 500 o'clock and imme-
diately afterward all shows will open.
The premier free attraction of all car
nival or amusement organiza tons Of
any kind in the world, the Four Luz
kens, the International aerial marvels,
will take place promptly at II o'clock.
