Every citizen in Marshalltown can
rejoice that the Iowa Central strike has
been ended. The struggle had begun
to tell severely upon the combatants
and it was time to quit fighting. Each
side had had enough or ought to have
felt that way about it, for the unpaid
store bills about town and the indi-
vidual instances Of distress coming to
Light, told Of the cost to many a wo-
man at home. On the other hand the
road has suffered terrific punishment,
having paid out thousands of dollars
to il competent labor, while its equip
ment has been almost incapacitated.
With winter coming on many families
would have suffered and the road
would probably have been tied up by
the first severe storm. 1t is fortunate
all around that the end of the strug-
gle has come. It is what everybody
has wanted to see.

The Times-Republican has never
been able to understand just What he
controversy was, owing to the con-
fiicting claims of the men and of the
company. At first, when the men went
out this newspaper attempted to pub
lish the specific contentious of each
side. and the management Of the road
felt very much aggrieved at these
news reports. Later when assaults
were made by strikers and their SYM
pathizers upon strike breakers, this
newspaper published what happened.
and incurred the displeasure Of some
of the men, but it is reasonably Ger
tain that with each interested party
demanding more favoritism, the public
has been given the facts in the news
as nearly correct as could be obtained
by any human agency. Even then the
cause of the strike has never been
quite clear, and it is a reasonable as
sumption that it ought never to have
occurred. The company has lemon
strated that it placed more than usual
Importance upon its own contention or

punishment it has received by this

would be twenty-four hours before the
exact nature and extent of his injuries
could be ascertained. Smith is suffer-

May Be q Stylish One, But It Makes
Trouble.
A man usually buys a hat that's "in
STYLE" but the modern hat for men
has lots to answer for.
Baldheads are growing more numer-
Gus every day. Hats make excellent
breeding places for the parasitic germs
which sap the life from the roots of the
hair.
When your hair begins to fall out and
your scalp is full OF dandruff it is a
sure sign that these countless germs are
busily at work..
There is but one way to overcome the
trouble and kill the germs--that way is
to apply Newbro's Herpicide to the
scalp--it will kill the germs and healthy
hair is sure to result.

BRADSTREET EPORH Holiday Trade Larger Than a Year Ago in Many Cities
 of the Country. QUIET WHOLESALE WEEK Unusual Activity for the Season Seen
 in the Boston Wool
 Market
QUIET WHOLESALE WEEK

New York Dec. -Bradstrccts state of trade tomorrow will say
 Holiday trade expanded further and reached its maximum this week with majoritN of cities reporting this class of business larger than year ago. A few cities even report tho volume larger than in 1906, though qualifying this by saying that the az gregate money value is smaller owing to cheaper grades Of goods bought. In wholesale and iobbing lines the week has ben a quiet one, with the possible exception of staple Wools, which have been sold well at the high est prices of the year. Reports as to collections are not materially chang ed from last week, and the number of cities reporting payments slow or only falr exceeds that reporting nor maj or good receipts. Full reports for October gross earnings show larger ratio of decrease than preliminary re- turns Indicated the failing off from october q year ago being per cent. as against per cent in the earlier returns The aggregate net earnings show gain however, of 6,G per cent. comparing with q gain of upward of ' per cent in September.
 Unusual activity for the season of the year marked the trading of the past week in wool at Boston. Pur- chases by the leading interest amount ed to between i0O00O0 and 5.OO0,0OO pounds, a very large purchase, con- slderlng that 1t was q holiday week. The sales consisted entirely Of fine staple and half blood Montana wool cleaning up the stocks in those grades The prices paid ranged from 29 l-2 to 24 cents.
 Other grades were very quiet all week, as Is usually the case around Christmas and New Years Desirable lots are scarce and very firmly held, with now and then sale at the dold- CTS price. Fleece wools are especial ly well sold up, with prices constantly advancing. % at 80 cents being asked for quarter, thrcc-elghts and half blood Ohio fleece Wools Stocks Of wool to be carried over into 1909 by Boston houses will be extremely small the total domestic stock prob. ably being in tho nolEhhorhood of 2O,OOO,00O pounds.
