mess, you ought to cut it down to 8
per cent"
Mr.. Lay wanted to know whether 1t
was better advertising to talk quality
or name prices. Quickly again Bright
replied: equality every time. Read my
ads. for Mandel Brothers, and you will
see that ! am great on prestige adver-
Using" Then he held up to view a
specimen page on art pottery. Mr.. L.
ID. Smith asked IL he thought people
would read all that was In that adj.
With instantaneous resource Bright
called for an elocutionist, If one were in
the room. Professor Gilbert was
crowded forward, who read the ad. at
length, with expression, and it was rec
ognized at once to be superb editorial
on art pottery. containing both infor-
nation and convincing argument as to
why art pottery should be bought at
Mandel Brothers store.
Mr.. Abbott wanted to know whether
an ad should present some one article
or mention the whole line. "Concen-
trate on one thing" said Bright John

and Adam both had 1t. Tell them some
one thing newsy about the store"
Mr.. Sinclair asked whether there was
not great danger of putting too much
into an aid. Bright said there was.
when you are thru, stop" he replied,
but it was apparent from his specimen
ads thar he was not averse to telling
some one story complete in detail In
his advertising.
Literally hundreds of other ques-
tons were pressed upon him during the
lunch hour which followed, which he
answered with clear understanding, and
many business man went away with
new thoughts on advertising, and a
conscious feeling that about one such
an electrifying personality in busi-
ness community would make town.

corded Monday Night, Setting New

Monday brought with it some genu-
inc old fashioned winter, and makes the

hog had not seen his shadow the other

day, below being recorded as the
maximum for the twenty-four hours.
A new cold record for the present sea-
son was established Monday night,
when below was recorded. The same

days snow measured two and one-half
inches, furnishing precipitation of IL
of an inch of water. A year ago Mon
day night 10 below was registered, as
against 81 below two years ago.

Per Mile Tota

Total 81, 1873, 1896
The Iowa Central branches are given
a. valuation OF $4,000 per mile. which Is
included in the total set opposite the
valuation Of its main line.
City Taxes Tidy Sum.
Within the city limits of MARSHALL
town there are 1924 miles of road own
ed by the Iowa Central, Northwestern
and Great Western. The Iowa Central
mileage is the greatest of the three,
being Abs miles, which includes only
its main line. The Great Western is
next with 3.04 miles, and the North
western last with 2.95 miles. Into the
city the Northwestern will pay the
largest sum, $3.340.4S. The Iowa Cen
trail will pay s1,751.27, and the Great
Western. $1,342.10, a total of $6.433.S5.
Taxes by Townships.
The taxes that will be paid by the
four roads, and the valuation of each
as assessed in each township and in
corporated town Of the county, is as
follows:

Four Roads of County Assessed
With Tax BILE Value of More
Than a Million
NORTHWESTERN PAYS MOST
Four Roads Pay Into tho City Taxes
More Than ,ooo-MiIease of the
Four Roads Inside the County Totals
147 MiIes-Assessments and Taxes by
Townships and Towns.

The four railroads companies whose
lines pass thru the county will pay IN
taxes to Marshall county during the
present year $33.5O7.29. This amount
represents what has been levied against
the properties of the four lines, which
are assessed with taxable value OF
more than a million dollars-to be ex-
act, s1,139,335 OF the four the North
western is the heaviest taxpayer. and
the Great Western pays the least.
1t seems almost incredible, but 1t is
nevertheless d fact. that there are
14115 miles of railroad lines within
the boundaries OF the county. While
the Iowa Central is not the largest OF
the railroad tax payers it has the great
es. mileage OF any in this county, a
total OF $685. miles. This Is due to its
branches, in addition to its main line.
The Great Western is next, with 1882
miles, the Northwestern third, with
$3.50 miles, and the Chicago, Milwau-
kee and st. Paul last with 1888 miles.
Total and Per Mile Valuation.
While the Northwestern is third IN
mileage it is first in the amount OF
taxes to be paid. This Is due to its
being a double track road. hence Its
taxable value is much greater than the
others. Its valuation for assessment for
taxes is almost three times that OF the
Iowa Central. and more than twice as
much as the Great Western. The val
uation per mile and the total valua-
ton fixed for taxation by the state ex-
ecutive council of the four roads is as
follows:
