BOOSTING AGAIN. !.
Retail Merchants Soliciting Member,

Retail Merchants Soliciting Members
for Local Insurance Order.
Mr.. and MRS. ]. w, DeForest are
now the special representatives Of the
Retail Merchants association in the
Guards Of the World, fraternal insur-
ance order Of this city. The merchants
association sent a special committee Of
competent insurance men, financial
men and lawyers to inspect this COM
pany. They reported that it was a
clean association, offering one IT the
best plans Of fraternal insurance ever
devised, and the merchants associa-
ton agreed to assist in securing 400
members in Marshalltown in consider
alton for the location Of the companys
headquarters and the effort is now
being made to get the members.
Membership in the Home Guards Of
the World is restricted to white per-
sons, men and women, over fifteen (1b)
years and under f1fty-eight (5S) years
of age, Of good character, good habits,
and in good health, who are required
to pass a medical examination before
a local physician. Persons over fifty
eight (6S) years Of age and those who
cannot pass the required medical ex-.
animation, may become social mem
bers without financial benefits. Per-
sons engaged in any unlawful occu-
patton or prohibited occupations" shall
not become a beneficial member Of this
association.
Nc shortsighted policy or private
gain has been attempted in the matter
of rates under its articles. whenever
it shall become necessary to levy more
than twelve assessments in any one
year at the then established rates, In
order to pay the losses Of that year,
then and in that event the benefit
rates then in force will advance 10
per cent"
Mo other plan in existence has any
provision whatever for meeting the
emergency, when 1t comes, Of collecting
more money but a step rate or double
headers" which are scarecrows at best.
The following automatic scale forever
settles all agitation Of rate readjust-
ment and prevents double headers.
And then to avoid the disaster of the
politics of a fraternal order and the
temptation on the part Of officials to
levy burdensome rates, the Home
Guards Of the World provide that
neither the rates nor plan of assess
ment shall ever be changed except as
above (automatic scale) unless so or
dered by a majority vote of all bench
dal members voting on said PROPOSE
ton submitted to them, looking to that
end, said vote to be taken in local
lodges" The control Of the company
is thereby left in the hands Of the
members. This section as we'll as that
providing for the automatic adjust
ment of rates has wisely been copy
righted, to protect the members.

heated. and according to some OF the
numerous witnesses, had an argument
with his sister in which he applied
some epithets that were unfit for pub
lication Other witnesses claim Douta
did not call his sister the vile name
which was claimed. but the Justice felt
that the brunt OF the testimony was
against Doud, found him guilty and
assessed SIS and costs, which decision
was appealed by Doud, who gave

the trouble.

and drank 1t every day. I never had
much flesh and often wondered why I
was always so pale, thin and weak.
"About five years ago my health
completely broke down and l was con-
fined to my bed. My stomach was in
such condition that I could hardly take
sufficient nourishment to sustain life.
During this time / was drinking
coffee, didn't think ] could do without
it.
"After awhile came to the conclu-
sion that coffee was hurting me. and
decided to give it up and try Postum.
1 didn't like the taste of 1t at first,
but when it was made right-boiled
until dark and rich- soon became
very fond of it.
I'm one week began to feel better.
I could eat more and sleep better. My
sick heac aches were less frequent, and
within five months l looked and felt
like a new being, headache spells en-

Amateur Base Ball


1t was hard luck for the invincible
Red Men yesterday The ball tossers
who have been the pride Of the county
seat Of old Marshall county's amateur
diamond chasers. and who have added
scalps to their belt time and again this
summer, certainly got It in the jug
ular Sunday. 1t was warm for most
folks yesterday but the boys in scar
let got 1t cold.
They went to Baxter full Of hope and
energy and came home "skunked."
They did not get run. 1t was a
shut-out to the tune Of 1 runs for
the Baxterians and nary a tally for
the Marshalltown sports. Each team
and WEIGH doing the passing of the
pellet for the Reds, and Dodd and
Shryock handling the sphere for the
Baxter bunch.
Every inning the Red Men got the
bases full, only to have their hopes
of scoring blasted by the alertness OF
the opposing team, while some of the
failure to land men at the home plate
was ascribed by the Marshalltown men
to the decisions Of the umpire. Nevada
ball players who have been UP against
the Baxters on the latter's grounds,
make the assertion that 1t is impossi-
BILE to beat the Bakers on the Baxter
diamond. But whether these complaints
are fully justified or not the Baxters
can certainly handle the game in good
style and have a farmer pitcher. Dodd,
who can set a tine pace for a lot Of
young sports who think they know
how to make ball avoid the aims Of
the ambitious batsmen.
Baxter proposes to have base ball
tournament next Thursday at Athletic
park, with three games scheduled with
purses Of $50 each. The first at 1880
a. M will be between Nevada and
Rhodes, second at 1880 p. m. between
Laurel and Baxter, and third at p.
IN. between the winners Of the first
two games.
"A trio of ball games were played on
the Marshalltown fair grounds yester-
day and fair sized crowd of fans
turned out to watch the contests. The
first game was between the Caprons
and Teamsters, the former taking the
victory by score Of 6 to 5. The bat
teries were Hughes and Francisco for
the Caprons and Milton and Williams
for the Transfers.
The second game was between the
fMarshalltown Grays and st. Anthony.
and the score was to 8, the Grays
winning.
The third game was scheduled to be
played between the Dillon nine and
the Crossroads colored men, but. as
Dillon did not show up the Caprons
jumped into the breach and won from
the Crossroads, Is to IL.
