R,NeLINe BROS. COMING.
Worlds Greatest Circus Soon to Visit
Marsh ajltoWn.

Ringing Brothers Worlds Greatest
Show is scheduled to come to Mar
shalltown, on Tuesday, September l,
with complete new outfit, an entirely
different parade from those seen In the
past, an enlarged menagerie, a new in
troductory spectacle and a company OF
European performers, the equal OF
which has never in the past been as
sembled under one management.
Each season finds this circus a step
in advance of it's past splendid record.
The progress that will be noted this
year is exceptional. 1t manifests itself
first in the new parade, built by foreign
artists and artisans. AS visitors ap-
proach the showgrounds 1t becomes
more evident in the great sea OF canvas
stretching over fourteen acres OF
ground. The vastness Of 1t all strikes
forcibly as one enters the exhibition
tents reaching for hundreds Of feet, one
walled with veritable jungle OF
strange animals and the other laby-
rinth of stages, rings, arenas and gym :
nastic and aerial riggings extending 10
the very dome.
A new and extravagant spectacle be-
gins the program this season, built
more deliberately and at greater cost
than any Of the past. The acts that
follow, all of European origin, were
booked last winter by the foreign
agents of the show, care being taken
to select nothing resembling any act
ever before seen in America. The re-
suit Of this policy has given a per-
Torrance delightful in novelty and
varied enough to suit all tastes.
The magic touch of the Ringing
management is evident thruout every
department. 1t is in truth a wonder
full show that this season reaches the
aparter- century mark in its remark
able history Every old feature has
been dropped and only the newest OF
the worlds wonders are found under
the great tents.
An automobile double somersault
caps the climax of this years unique
bill. It is the first instance in which
an automobile has made two complete
revolutions in mid air. The act is al
most appalling in it's danger. The
thought Of it suggests tragedy, yet 1t
is accomplished with triumph at every
performance by mere slip Of girl.
The act Is not to be mentioned in con-
nection with other mere stunts" that
in the past have been advertised as
thrillers.

Local Comment

The reorganization of the Green
Mountain bank with strong and sub
stantial stockholders of the MARSHALL
town State bank interested in the
venture is the best thing that could
happen for the business of that vicin-
ity and Of the whole county. The
strong banks Of this city should be
identified with the village banks thru
q community of interest possible in an
identity of stockholders, for it solid
ifies the village bank and brings bus
mess to the big bank. In Canada this
system has been elaborated to a high
degree and it has done wonders for
the development of their newer
provinces.
The sewer committees report Of q
discovery in the statutes whereby a
city may build a sewer and issue GER
tificates which in effect permit it to
paw for the sewer on the installment
plan, will prove of immense benefit
to the city's progress. Sewers last for
many years and their first cost Is
heavy. hence distribution of the cost
over the period of their usefulness is
good finance.

BAD. TOOTH CAUSES DEATH.
Mrs. Eliza Clark, Old Resident o
County, Succumbs to Paralysis.

County, succumbs to Paralysis.
Mrs. Eliza Clark died shortly after
midnight Friday at the home OF her
daughter, Mrs E. B. Connley, 406
Swayzee street, after an illness OF
about two weeks duration. Death Is
believed to have been almost directly
due to the extraction Of astooth which
had been bothering her. Almost imme-
diately after its removal she became
i'll in Tama, where her son, j. w. Clark
resides, and soon entered a comatose
state She was brought to this city
for treatment several days ago, and II
was ascertained by physicians that sne
was suffering from paralysis, which
had been induced by the rupture OF a
blood vessel in the optic tract OF the
brain. 1t is believed that the removal
of the tooth started an irritation OF the
brain, leading to the blood vessel
breaking and the subsequent paralysis,
which was almost wholly on the left
side.
Mrs Clark was the widow Of the late
Thomas Clark, and was born in Owen
county, Indiana, May O. 1888. She mar
ried Mr.. Clark in July, 1865. They left
Indiana in 1883 and removed to Albion,
Marshall county, Iowa, where they re-
sided for three years, going thence to
Stanberry, Mo-, where they lived for
six years, when they returned to Mar
shall county, where Mr.. Clark passed
away July 1s, 1894. Mrs. Clark, who
was almost for her entire lifetime iden-
titled with the Christian church, is
survived by three sons and two daugh-
tiers, James. Of Marshalltown; Arthur,
of Crook. Col; ]. W., Of Tama: Mrs.
Lizzie WEIGH, of Chico. Cal. and Mrs.

rs az lnoeP0u00US0'
The late Col. Fitzroy Sessions, whose
death is announced today from the In
sane hospital at Independence, and
who was for time an inmate Of the
Iowa Soldiers Home, had an excep-
tional record in army and civil life.
He was born Aug. 16, 1880, at War
rem, Mass, and enlisted in the union
ranks June IL, at Keokuk, serving In
Company K, Third Iowa volunteers.

attachment become adjutant of bat
TALON, adjutant general OF his brigade,
and Judge advocate of hi, divieon. At
the time Of his discharge he was a
first lieutenant and adjutant Of his
regiment.
His Iowa home was in Cedar Falls,
Blackhawk county. and for time ne
was deputy United States marshal Tor
the northeastern district OF Iowa. Al
ter he lost his wife he boarded at the
Burr hotel in Cedar Falls for over
twenty years, until entering the SOL
diers' home Aug. %, 1905. He re-
mained in the home until adjudged In
sane early in December, 1905.
He had been known to be OF I'M ll
sound mind for some time and occa-
sionally manifested tendencies to vio-
lence, but the authorities at the home
hesitated to have him committed UNI
til one day he attacked Adam Leiberk-
necht, who is partially paralyzed,
striking him with cane and cutting
him on the hands and wrists with a,
knife. Then DR.. H. P. Duffield had
Colonel Sessions /, examined by the

One of Colonel Sessions haliucln ma

supposed to have been the outgrowth
Of his long stay in the hotel at CEDAR
