Washington, d. c., Dec. 24.-There
will be no rivers and harbors bill this
season. 1t now appears congress never
intended there should be. That sim
mediate appropriation of at least $780,
100000" talk was taffy prepared in
honor of the National Rivers and Har-
bors congress, which recently held it's
convention in Washington.
Now that the 1900 delegates have
left the capital city far behind, hav-
ing scattered to their homes in all
parts of the United States, the word
is being given out gently. of course
that owing to the huge deficit "it
may be" that the rivers and harbors
committee will not report a bill dur
ing the Goth congress- The leaders do
not say point blank the bill will not be
reported. Such language would not
be diplomatic Besides, the republican
| leaders do not deem it advisable to
jar peoples nerves-especially the
waterway mems nerves.
Laugh in sleeves.
But the representatives are really
laughing up their sleeves. While the
waterway men were. in convention
every member of the house was wear
ing a big badge, reading 81 am for

to make it readable a block off. There
wasn't an official in the whole city OF
Washington who didn't know for a
certainty congress was simply aching
! to vote Eat the very least s30,O00,000'
for waterways.
There is not bit of doubt about it

Anxious to Get Into a
Fight.

statement issued at the White house
today in regard to presidential inter.
ference in cases of Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison. of the American FEEDER.
alton of Labor, now under sentence
for contempt of court. attention is
called to the fact that the cases are
still before the courts and that no mat
ter what the presidents opinion may
be as to business of the sentences inn
posed, he cannot take any action look
ing to a pardon or express any opinion
as to the merits of the case.
Left for Taft to Settle.
Washington, Dec. 26.-That the Taft
and not the Roosevelt administration
will have to wrestle with the case Of
Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
Frank Morrison, sentenced to Jail by
Judge d. T. Wright for contempt in
the boycott suit of the Bucks Stove
and Range company, it is believed
here.
Labor leaders who have been stir
red to protest to President Roosevelt
are now taking the view that there is
no need to demand interference until
the resources of the law are ex-
hausted. The arguments in the court
Of appeals will not be heard until
I March or later, and further appeal to
T, the supreme court would bring about
another interval of months before the
labor leaders would face the actual
contingency of going to Jail.
Expect Reverse.

including several democratic congress.
men who have talked freely since the
decision of Judge Wright was rendered
appear so confident that the decision
will be reversed that they scoff at the
idea of intercession by the shief execu-
tive
There is general belief that Presi.
dent Roosevelt will be embarrassed in
more ways than one by taking action
in the case
In the first place it is explained that
the effect of President Roosevelt's ac-
!tion, should he enter into the fight,
tTill be felt during the initial months
of Taft's administration. If the SYM
pathizers of Messrs. Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison are to be appeased as a
political move, it is argued that Mr..
Taft, who will probably have similar
problems to face, should be the one to
do it.
Does Not Know Facts.
President Roosevelt. it is said, does
not know the facts in the case and
has not read the testimony, although
he is informed as to the ordinary sen.
tence of courts for contempt of court
in violation of injunctions.
The legal aspect of the case would
probably be given serious considers
!. tion by President Roosevelt before any
action were taken, according to unoffi
lcial statements coming from the White
house, and it is added that the presi
dent is not in the mood for taking or
further burdens when he already has
!, as his friends say, enough fights nov

Fat Folks Hot Weather
Comfort Secret

The only way to be comfortable, If
fat, in hot weather is to get thin
that Is, reduce. This is paradoxical,
but 1t is true.-and they say the truth
Is bitter. Truly, to face the necessity
Of reducing by means Of exercise or
starving is bitter prospect for any
overfat person, man or woman. But,
cheer up, those old methods are passe
out of date. II
Nowadays, the well-informed fat
people who want to take of enough
flesh to make them feel unstuffed with
in and unburdened without go to the
nearest druggist, from whom, for q
small sum. they get Y ounce Marmola,
" ounce Fluid Extract Cascara Aro-
matte, and 81 ounces Sirup Simplex.
This they take quietly for awhile, q
teaspoonful ait a time, after meals and
at bedtime, and pretty soon find them
selves losing their excess flesh at ,the
rate Of IL to .1s ounces day.
They eat the same food and don't
need to exercise, and yet they get thin.
Moreover, they do not accumulate
wrinkles or acquire an abusive stom-
ach in the process. This harmless
home mixture just bothers the fat
not the takar. In this it is different,
very different, you'll agree, from the
usual remedy"

Five Thousand People Respond
to Benedict T. Brintnall's
Invitation
STORE THRoNeEp ALL EVENING
The Beautiful New Store Attracts
Huge Crowd and tine Firm is Show.
cred With consratuIations-An I'M
provement Of Which the Whole City
is Proud-Reception Again Tonight.

About 5000 persons responded to the
& Brintnall on the occasion of the
formal opening OF their new store last
evening. During the evening the large
store rooms on the first and second
floors were filled and at times crowded
by an interested and delighted throng
OF visitors and congratulatory and APP
preciatlve expressions showered upon
the proprietors.
The store, which is built after the
most modern and up-to-date model, lent
itself to the beautiful decoration and
effective arrangement OF stocks. From
the open court hfty-eight electric
lights added their illumination. The
color scheme of the floral decorations
was in red and yellow, and the var
ious departments were dressed with
yellow pumpkin flowers, goldenrod
|chrysanthemums. southern smilax, buff
falo berries, hydrangeas and sunfiow-
ers. Stotts. Mandolin CLUB furnished
the music.
The windows were especially attrac-
tive. The west window was devoted
to coats. furs and suits. Among the
coats were the finest examples of OF
ter and seal skin and the high priced
and extremely stylish modes Chrysan-
themums and smilax were the principal
decorations. The east window bore
a varied display Of fine dress goods.
silks, lace waists and gloves. The dec
orations in this window included sun
flowers and ferns.
Altogether, the reception and opening
of Marshalltown's newest up-to-date
store was completely successful. and
satisfactory to both public and proprie-
tors. Its opening marked an additional
step to the modernity Of Main street
stores. and gave 1t equal rank with the
best and most modern stores in the
state, and adds emphasis to the often
repeated exclamation: "Marshalltown
stores are equal to those found in the
great cities

friend, Claretta Clark, who came to
Marshalltown Tuesday from Elan

day in mysterious manner, received
a letter this morning, postmarked
Grinnell, from the Clark kirl, saying
she would come to Marshalltown this
evening and to be sure and meet her.
She did not explain in the letter
anything about her going to Grinnell
but said she had heard about the
Times Republican having printed j the
item of her being lost, and in that
way got the address Of Mrs Manship.
Mrs Manshjp said this morning that
she would be sure to meet the girl.
Mrs. ,Manship went to seeress who
told her that she could divine the
girls movements to some extent the

in various directions. but on account
of the crowd was unable, to trace her

Local Comment

A marked increase III the school en-
rollment is only another evidence OF
the movement toward Marshalltown as
a residence city.
The county fair in two weeks will
bring another crowd to town. The mer-
chant who is telling the people, now,
what he wants them to know will re-
ceive the calls when the crowd comes.
The Fidelity banks enlargement Of
It's operations from strictly savings
bank to a commercial bank as we'll will
give the east end business district two
commercial banks and add virtually
another new bank to town. When the
First National opens its savings bank
there will be still another new bank
ing enterprise launched Why are the
monied men enlarging so unless they
can see bigger business for MARSHALL
town?
He who laughs last usually laughs
best and this is largely true in the
building of new store. The event on
Main street this week has put the city
several steps forward in the progress
Of merchandising. Gradually our stores
are becoming citified and the result
will be more trade coming to town.
Some OF these days a five story depart
ment store will go up in Marshalltown
where 1t can be seen for fifty miles
around and it will make this city a re-
tail center.
The scheme to show the farmers by
actual observation what tuberculosis
infection amounts ito is a good one. The
more wide-awake fellows are now haw-
ing their herds tested voluntarily but
thousands Of others lcan be induced to
follow suit if they are properly in
formed.
Few Of us can realize what a bene-
At a purely local building and loan
association could do for the growth of
the city. When several thousand MEM
bers go to saving their money and in
vesting it in building and loan shares
there is a stability and prosperity Civ
en- to community which makes for
a bigger town. Then when a society
Of this kind has an income Of several
thousand dollars a month to loan out
on houses. new building is bound to
follow. The great boon Of the build
ing and loan society is that women and
children, and wage working people
whose knowledge of property values
and investments is limited can pay out
on building and loan shares with their
eyes shut. A board of directors of
competent and experienced business
men will invest the savings of all these
share holders where their money will
earn good rate of interest Every
body ought to go into it.

II is question Of policy. EACo be-
