HELP FOR WOMEN
A vexins Problem Solved and Bur-
don Lifted - MarshalItown Business
Man Presents q Plan.

It Is hard for women to buy pres
ents for smokers and intimate little
decorations and necessities for mems
dens. Wives and sweethearts can not
consult with those for whom they in
tend these presents without destroying
much of the surprise and pleasure OF
Christmas giving. G.. P. Cooks cigar
store at % West Main street offers the
way out. This season Mr.. Cook has
ordered an immense amount OF the
finest and most seasonable presents
for men, imported goods and the finest
of domestic wares and novelties in
smokers sets and a multitude Of handy
and beautiful things dear to the mas
culine heart They are fine and Of all
sorts of prices to fit any purse and
every taste.
Here's a Scheme, Ladies.
Cooks patrons include most of the
smokers in the city. Your husband or
son or sweetheart gets his cigars there.
Cook knows his tastes, what he likes
in tobacco and cigars, the kind of
"
him. Men know about these things.
Go to Cooks and let him help you to
select the present. You can't go
wrong then. For Cook has been study
ing the individual tastes Of MARSHALL
town men for years. He has to. 1t is
what has made his establishment the
biggest, best fitted up, the center of
central Iowa smokers trade, able to
supply any and everything in the way
you want it.
Anyway step in and see the beautiful
array of novelties. Nothing like it was
ever brought to the city. Don't get the
idea, that because it is a cigar store
that you can't go there as freely as to
any dry goods store. Cooks is a high

Thirteen Below Does Not Pre-.
vent SAM Burroughs From
Claiming Bride
Webs MISS M'EvoY TODAY
Efforts of Preceding Eighteen Hours
to Keep Plans From Their Friends
Failed in That Wedding Became
Known Before Couple Left Town -
Marriage at $3.50 at ST. Mary's.

In the choir loft of ST Marys church
at 6 80 o'clock this morning, MIR. Sam
uel j. Burroughs. of Albion, son of DR..
and Mrs. E. S. Burroughs, of this city,
and Miss Estella NJ. McEpoy. secre-
tary of the Credit Guide company, were
married by DR.. j. j. Fitzpatrick.
The wedding, which was performed
: in the presence of two witnesses, was
the elimination of strenuous effort
made by the couple, thru a period of
eighteen hours, to keep their plans a
secret. Their efforts were partly sue
cessful. in spite of the fact that de-
layed train prevented them from get
ting out of the city before the news of
their marriage became known. The pa
rents of the couple were likewise kept
in the dark about the plans, altho they
were aware that the young people We're
intending to wed.
Miss McEvoy left at 1890 o'clock
Monday afternoon, supposedly for Du-
buque to spend a short vacation at her
home. On the train she met q friend,
which made her plan to get off at Green
Mountain more difficult to carry out
She succeeded, however. Mr.. Bur-
roughs, with the temperature below
zero. had driven to Albion in the morn
ing. Later in the day he drove to Green
Mountain. got Miss McEvoy and re-
turned with her to this city in the
evening.
At about 4:30 o'clock this morning
Deputy Clerk of Courts Frank M
Haradon was aroused out of bed, and a
carriage was sent for him. He was.
brought to the court house, where
the license was issued. The young peo-
pie went to st. Mary's church, where
mass was held at o'clock, this being
n holy day of obligation. They took
seats in the choir loft and. after the
service was over, the ceremony was
performed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Burroughs intended to
get out of town early in the morning
but the train that took them to Me-
cada was almost an hour late. They re-
manned there until early this after
noon, when they passed thru this city
where they will remain for few daes.
From there they will go to Dubuque
to visit with Mrs. Burroughs parents.
They expect to return here in a week
or ten days.
Their plans after that have not def
nitely been decided. Mrs. Burroughs. is
under contract with the Credit Guide
company, which is in force until next
July, and she does not know whether
the firm will release her or not If il
does Mr.. and Mrs. Burroughs will
probably go to Albion to live, where
Mr.. Burroughs owns an elevator which
he is operating. II
Both of the young people are well
known here. Mrs. Burroughs is re-
garded as most capable business wo-
man.

Interesting Discussion Waged in
Effort to Collect More Money
For Election Work
SUPERVISORS CUT THE BILLS
Because Telephone Company Paid s.
to Each Member Of Board, for Du-
ties in Franchise Vote, Supervisors
Deduct That Amount From County
BiIis-Election Officials Object.

Are the county supervisors acting
within their jurisdiction in cutting
down the bills of election officials at
the recent general election because
the officials received SIS each from the
Farmers and Merchants Telephone
company, for their work in the fran
chise vote?
Such is the question that some of
the election officials are asking, and
did ask before the board of supervisors
Monday afternoon. Because the two
boards do not appear to be able to
get together on the proposition, a suit
may be established to collect the
were cut.
Members of the election boards in
the city appeared before the board
Monday They registered strenuous
objection against the action Of the su-
pervisors, and claimed that it Is no
business of the supervisors whether or
not they received IS extra, or So The
election officials maintain that it is
the business of the supervisors to fol-
low the statutes and pay the election
officin's % cents an hour for the time
actually put in on the work Of the
election boards.
Board Divided in Opinion.
The members of the board of sup
ervisors are somewhat divided on the
opinion of just what is equitable and
just in the case, but they do not diff
fer in one opinion, and that is that
the county should not pay twice for
work performed.
Mr. Keen is OF the opinion that the
county should cut the bills straight
S., and says he will stand pat on it.
Mr. Bueghly and MT. Zines do not
think that the county should pay the
election boards twice for the same
duty performed, but they are inclined
to think that some apportionment
should be made Of the time actually
put in in caring for the franchise
vote, and then bill the county for the
difference.
Members of the election boards claim
that. If the county Is going to make a
practice Of questioning or cutting the
bills of election officials, it will soon be
impossible to secure any competent
persons who will be willing to sit on
election boards.

HAS PECULIAR INJURY
Henry Hall, Iowa Central Section Man,
Struck in Head and Knocked Down
by Flying Missils-Was at First
Thought He Had Been Shot.

While standing to one side of a
switch track, near the Iowa Central
old office building Monday, Henry Hall,
405k South First. avenue, a section
man employed by the company, was
struck in the forehead with some fly
ing missile and knocked down. 1t was
thought at first that stray bullet hit
the man, but the physician who at
tended him declare that the wound
was not made from bullet. !:
Where the missile came from Is a
mystery. The wound Is directly over
the right eye, the scalp and flesh
having been cut to the skull. After
Hall regained consciousness he wanted
to know who hit him.
Boys were hunting rabbits in the
wood piles south Of where Hall was,
at about the time the accident hap
pened, and 1t was thought that stray
bullet had found Halls head.
1T is now thought that a fragment
Of bolt or nut was either thrown
from the engine as 1t passed Hail, or
was KICKED lIlIO lIl0 dlI lIOIl Lie pOtlll
over which the engine passed, and
that it struck Hall.
The injury is not serious, altho had
the force Of the missile been sufficient
it might easily have proved fatal.
