PROPERTY SELLS WELL
w. M. Petit House and Lot, At Public
Auction, Sells at $3,1e5, Within IS
Of Price Asked at Private Sale
Demonstrates Cash Market for Mar
shailtown Property.

At public auction Monday afternoon
the residence property of w. M. Pet
lit. corner Of Third and Lincoln streets.
was sold to George r. Wingert, of Ne
vaol, for s3.195. The lot is 45x95M feet.
and on it Is q modern house OF eight
rooms The price secured was within
IS Of what Mr.. Petit had held the
piunert. at private sale.
MIR. Wingert, the purchaser, bought
the property for a home. He is to move
t. this city to take charge Of the pro-
duce business Of Wingert & Co. Mr..
Wlngert is e. son-in-law of Mr.. w. b.
Beeson, of this city.
A lot on Webster street, 45x150, also
belonging to Mr.. Petit, was also sold
at auction, S. c. Bell being the pur-
chaser at s525. In both instances
Peckham & Smith sold the property.
The sale of this property for $3.195.
when $4,000 was the price asked by the
owner, demonstrates that Marshalltown
real estate now has cash market.
Any man can invest in 1t with the as
surance that he can get his money out
of it at auction If necessary. He has
the same cash market as the farmer
has for grain or live stock.
This was also true Of the Fullmer
~.ooorA,a.o, cso,+l, rrrrya1fth opd Vast
State streets The one sold at auction
for $500, when that was all the owner
asked for 1t. The other was held at
81, 200 and sold at auction for $1,125.
The agents selling these properties
attribute much of their success to
Times Republican advertising. They
say that buyers from out of town are
attracted by their announcements in
the T.-R. and the result is to bring new
buyers to town.

Reioiesd Too Soon.

The excursion steamer was crowded.
The water was rough, and many of the
passengers were seasick.
On the lower deck was an elderly
man with a John w. Kern beard and a
serious, preoccupied expression OF
countenance, who took position neal
the port rail, holding on to 1T firmly
with one hand and at frequent inter-
walls moistening his tongue with d
thick slice of lemon held firmly in the
other hand.
Now and then he made his way
across the deck. slowly and cautiously
to the other side, when the vino
seemed to be blowing more freely
from that direction, his slice Of lemon
accompanying him. Nobody asked him
what was the matter. His manner die
not invite confidence. Whatever the
trouble may have been, he fought 1t In
silence during the five or six hours OF
the trip.
At last, however, the boat entered
the smooth water at the mouth OF tins
river and the rocking ceased.
few moments later the elderly pas
senger with the John w. Kern bearo
threw away his slice of lemon
Then, with an expression of serene
satisfaction on his face, he took q
square, brown chunk Of something OF
other from the right pocket OF his
trousers, bit off piece, and replaced
it in his pocket.
At this moment large excursion
steamer Just starting out, attracted the
attention of the passengers
They all rushed to one side, and the
boat began to rock again.
The elderly passenger with the Johr
w. Kern beard turned pale
Hastily taking something out OF his
mouth, he threw it overheard.
Then he went and sat down on col
of rope.

The fact that Canada thistles are

should prove Il cause for alarm among
the farmers OF this county. A small
patch can easily seed hundreds of
acres OF ground, and they can only be
eradicated by the most strenuous eff
forts, and at an enormous expense per
acre
d. e, Hole, of this city, gives a, good
illustration of the danger from Canada
thistles. Mr.. Hole has just returned
from Kitson county. Minnesota, where
he has been looking after 400 acres Of
land owned by his sister, Miss Lou
Hole, and zoo acres belonging to Mrs.
Hole. Mn. Hole says that the people
in that sehtion of Minnesota are really
discouraged over the missiles, which
form the one great drawback to the
country at the present time. Aside
from that THE farmers have had their
second consecutive poor crop, in reality
toy about half crop, and they are
about ready to move out One
Farm he cities in particular, with tair
improvements and buildings not over
five years old, was offered him for $25
per acre with the crop thrown in. The
principal reason given for selling was

Mr.. Hole says chat unless a farmer
i'm that sectitln Of Minnesota sticks to
his knitting pretty closely, and works
hard TO eradicate the uhistles, he can
raise nothing.)

Benedict & erintnalI viii Open Their
Nav Store With Orchestra Music
ard Flowers - The Sunshine Store.

People in the vicinity Of this chy
who have been wondering why Mar
sha!ltown did not have more netropoi-
itan stores, have now got the ideal OF
their desires in the new Benedict block
which will be formally opened ITO the
public on Friday evening and satur-
day Of this week It is one OF the
very few two story stores in the city
and has been so carefully planned with
the open court in the center with a
flood of sunshine coming thru 4 roof
of glass that the effect is THAT OF
place OF beauty as we'll as OF useful-
ness in displaying goods.
AS one enters the new store the et-
feet OF the rich oak furp' shings, low
plate glass show cases, e and Open
view Of both the second and first floors
is Impressive. The first Thought is that
the goods must be here else why sucn
a large and pretty store and as the
eye wanderS from one show case go
another the conviction is forced homie
that the goods are here. No longer
do we need to go farther than Mari
shs,lltown ito find what we want.
AS originally planned the main DRY
goods stock occupies the first floor
wiuh cashiers desk in the center and
elevated so as to command "a view of
1.-THE whole store. In full view of the
person entering the front door is the
long easy stairway leading to the rest
room above and as one ascends the
rugs and trunks and ready made gar
n1ents cam be seen on an sides. In the
rear par. of the first floor are the furs
and skirts SO displayed in glass cases
and on racks as to be easily seen by
all who are looking around.
The store will be closed on Friday
all day preparatory for the formal OPP
ening Friday evening and Saturday
when there will be orchestra music and
d camation for everyone. The firm OF
Benedict & Brintna1l has ordered 5000
carnations for the event. No goods will
be sold Friday evening, but on Satur-
day selling will go hand in hand with
sight seeing.
