Gilman Young, of Fifth
VOTE a TIE; MAYOR DECIDES
Herman Doesn't Think That Council is
Elected to "Raise" Other Peoples
chiIdren-"We Already Have acur-
few EIelI"-Motion to Table Follows
and Carries.

The city council, or at least ma
jority Of the members, evidently pc
lieves that dance halls in Marshalitowh
need no regulating. The last leglsla-
t,,re adopted legislation, and included
skating Kinks with dance halls. Coun-
Gilman Young, of the Fifth, thought
dance halls needed regulating, and &C
cordngly had an ordinance drawn up.
He had not thought of including skat-
ing Kinks, but legal advice was to the
effect that they must be included, in
order to conform to the state law
1t was the skating rink proposition
that appeared to become the bone OF
contention in the council. as evidenced
by the arguments of the past few
meetings Mayor lngledue ruled a
week ago that the ordinance could not
be brought up on its second reading
without a suspension Of the rules at an
adjourned meeting Mr.. Young raised
the question last night if the ruling
were correct and the mayor said he
was wrong in 50 ruling. MIR. Young
then placed the ordinance on its Sec
ond reading.
Good Moves to Amend.
Mr. Good Immediately moved to
amend by deferring until the next
regular meeting. but received no sec
ond. Mr.. Psenicka moved to amend by
receiving it and laying it on the table,
which in othes words meant the kill
ing of the ordinance. Mr.. McMains
seconded this motion.
Not Keepers Of Neighbors' Kids.
Mr.. Herman was recognized under
call for remarks and said that he
didn't think the council was elected to
raise" other peoples children. I'VE
have a curfew bell already. and we
can ring that if necessary. 1t is a great
slam--'
Mr.. Gregory here arose to a point
of order, claiming that motion to
lay on the table was not debatable.
Mr. Herman. in addressing the chair,
You called for remarks, and l am
here to make them. | can make lots
of them"
Mayor Ingledue ruled that the point
of order was we'll taken.
On the vote on the amendment to
table, Good Herman. McMains and
Psenicka voted aye and Clark Gregory,
Jay and Young nay. The chair voted
with the ayes. McDonald and Devine

Epidemic, Influenza, Grippe, Catarrhal
Troubles, Pneumonia Increasing.
A marked increase in troubles of the
breathing organs is noted in many To-
calities. If you will only have Hyomei
at hand to use with the first attack OF
cold in the head, pneumonia, colds,
bronchitis. hoarseness, sore throat,
Group, in fact any respiratory affection,
the trouble will be quickly overcome.
If the attack is neglected and become
severe, speedy relief will come in most
cases and persistent ues of Hyomei
will cure.
The directions for using,it vary, but
the principal is always the same. that
of destroying all the germs in the air
you breathe and having it reach the air
passages with dry medication from the
Pine and Eucalyptus forests.
Remember that liquids or moisture
Is barred from the bronchial tubes and
lungs. It's the dry air of Hyomei
that reaches the spot. Mcbride & Will
guarantees it.

BOY BEST spELLER
Harold Biselow, Of the Rogers School,
Wins the First Prize for Spelling in
the Contest Open to Seventh Grade

Harold Bigelow. OF the Rogers
school, won the first prize of 81 in the
spelling bee for seventh grade pupils,
which was held at the manual train
ing building Monday night before an
audience of 300 people. About 100 pu-
pills from the four schools which have
seventh grades participated in the
match. The other ten, each of whom
won a prize of 81, were Helen Glow.
Howard Miller, Ruby Inman, MadgZ
Newcomer and Wilfreda Heald, Of the
Arnold: Marigold Mooney, of the Alb
bolt; Letha Treanor, Lena Nehring
and Cora Harter, of the Click; and
Myron Bay, of the Rogers.
The showing made by the Arnold
pupils was especially good, as five Of
the eleven pupils who won prizes were
from that school.
The match began at 8 o'clock and
was completed at $50. Harold Bige-
low won the first prize on the word
disappearance" which his competitor
for first honors misspelled. The weed
ing out of the poor spoilers was grad
ual no one word taking down any
great number Toward the close Of the
match the word "saleratus" proved a
stumbling block to number. J. L.
Carney pronounced the words.

DON'T CROWD CHRIST OUT.
DR.. Buckner Shows Local Application


DIR. Buckner Shows Local Application
to His Subject.
At the Methodist church last night,
DR.. Buckner preached a very practical
sermon on the danger of croWding
Christ out of the life. He referred to
present day tendencies in Marshalltown
illustrating his thought.
There is not much room for Christ
in the modern business and CONNER
cial world. Men are so busy, so driv-
en- by their business. that life Is COM
pletely filled with plans for material
things. and strenuous strivings to get
ahead No time is left for prayer or
| meditation, or the growth of the spirit
ual life.
There is not much room reserved for
Christ in the social world. How many
clubs and societies are formed which
leave Christ entirely out of the reckon
ing. And if we follow them for brief
periods we see to what tendencies OF
worldliness and vanity. temptation and
sin, they lead.
There is not much room for Christ
in the modern home. How many
homes there are in which Gods word
is not read nor honored; where the
voice of prayer is never heard.
There is not much room for Christ
In our humble schools, those mighty
centers of influence and potential
power over the plastic minds and char
acters of the youth Of our land. The
Bible is not a sectarian book. And yet
1t has been ruled out of many of the
public schools All sorts of other lit
eratrre NAV enter there.
oh for an awakening spirit OF Am
ericanism and a feeling Of our moral
responsibility at this point. When
Christ is crowded out, the devil enters
in. We need Christ everywhere. in ali
spheres of activity.

SAMPLE BALLOT RECEIVED
Tickets to Be Used at Primary Will
Be Confusing.

Judging by samples of the ballot to
be used at the coming primary, which
have been received by County Auditor
Erastus Cornell from the secretary of
state, voters will have some studying
to do in marking their ballots.
The ballot is not so large as many
ballots that voters have used before,
but the arrangement of the candi-
dates is somewhat different. The ball
lot is 14x22 inches, and Is divided into
four columns. The first column is for
the national and state, the second for
the district, the third for the county
and the fourth for the township can
didates. Each party will. of course,
have separate ballot bearing the
name of he party. Should there be
only partly filled ticket to accommo-
date few independent candidates, the
rest of the ticket will be printed in
blank.

NOTHING TO STORY.
Local Weekly Makes Big splurse Over

Local Weekly Makes Big spiurge Over
Purported Northwestern Removal,
A local weekly paper publishes in its
current issue highly colored article
to the effect that the Chicago &
Northwestern railway has options on
land here, and may decide on the es-
tablishment Of division headquarters
here. The paper claims to have high
Information on the subject.
AS a matter Of fact the T.-R. inves-
.tigated this same runor a month ago,
when it first became circulated. This
paper was fully satisfied that there
was nothing to the story, and did not
publish rumor which had no basis
in fact.
In order to make sure, however, that
sources Of information here might not
be clearly posted, the T.-R. wrote
General Manager R. H. Ashton, who
denied the rumor in toto.
In his letter Mr. Ashton says: Gas
a matter Of fact there is no such move
contemplated, neither is there likely
to be, as the location of Marshalltown
could hardly adjust itself to the proper
division of distances, necessary for
economical operation. Boone is fix
ture; Clinton Is fixture. The distance
between them is 200 miles, and the or
binary freight division on account Of
compensation rules is generally fixed
at 100 miles. You can readily see that
this would hardly render it probable
that we would do anything Of the kind
at Marshalltown."

CURES ECZEMA QUICKLY.
New Drug, Poslan,, Now obtainabe in
Small Quantities.

Small Quantities.
Since its discovery one year ago, the
new drug, poslam. has successfully
cured thousands Of chronic cases OF &C.
xema and other distressing skin affltc-
lions. Heretofore poslam has been
dispensed solely for the benefit Of &C.
zeraa patients in large jars sufficient
for months treatment. This was
found to be an Inconvenience to many
thousands who use 1t for minor skin
troubles, such as pimples, blackheads,
herpes, acne, scaly scalp, complexion
blemishes, itching feet, piles, ETC.,
which require but small quantity to
cure. To overcome this, and in re-
Spouse to urgent appeals. the dispens-
ers Of poslam have been obliged to
adopt, in addition to the regular two
dollar package, a special fifty-cent size,
which in future may be found on sale
at the Mcbride & Will Drug Co.'s and
other leading drug stores in Marshall
town, or may be ordered direct from
the Emergency Laboratories, No. 81
West 25th Street, New York City. In
all eczema cases poslam stops itching
with first application, and proceeds to
heal Immediately; chronic cases being
cured in two weeks. In less serious
skin troubles, results are seen after an
overnight application.
Samples for experimental purposes
may still be had, free Of charge, by
writing to the laboratories for them.

took it upstairs. His sister Ida saw
him and being suspicious of the pur-

told her father and brother. The lat

to the room In which his brother had
