WONDERFUL PICTURE
The Most Valuable Picture and the
Most Unique Now on Exhibition in
Orlando Baxter's Store Window.

Probably the most wonderful picture
ever seen in Marshalltown is now on
exhibition in the window of Orlando
Bakers store. The picture was loaned
to Baxter by Bedding Bros. manufac-
turers Of embroidery silks 1T was
made by the famous Japanese artist,
Tarazo Kotow, and is valued at more
than $4,000. 1t has never been loaned
by Bedding Bros, except on one other
occasion. The picture is made entirely
from Bedding Bros New Process
wash embroidery silks, and it is esti-
mated that it contains 100000
stitches. 1t took Kotow eight months
steady work to make the picture and
100 different colors were used. One
can hardly tell the painting from waite,
color at a short distance 1t is beau
tiful landscape scene, and is worth go
ing a long ways to see. The Baxter
store has been accorded the unusual
honor because of the fact that this
store has sold more Bedding Bros
embroidery floss than any other retail
store in Iowa.

PRISONER HELD UNDER BONDS
Thomas Williams, Whom Thome
Struck at Ball Game, Lies in stupor,
and Is Conscious Only at Times
Injury May Prove serious-Thome's
Hearing Set for Sept. q.

Whether or not Marshalltown is to
nave a record of two murder cases re-
sulting from assaults made in a sim
gle day will probably develop within
the case of Bud" Williams. the col
ored man who was hit behind the ear
at a Sunday afternoon ball game by
James Thome
Because Williams grew worse Mon
day afternoon and again lapsed into
Inconsistencies Thome was rearrested
Monday evening on the more serious
charge of assault with intent to COM
nit murder. He had been out on a
small bond for simple assault and bat
terry, but when County Attorney Eyer
mayer learned of the mans real con-
dition he Immediately filed an nforma-
ton covering the more serious charge.
Thome was arraigned before Justice
Willard, entered a plea of not guilty.
and his hearing was fixed for Nom
day, Sept. 81, at a. m. His bond was
fixed at $1.500, and he is in Jail.
Williams Lies in Stupor.
Williams, who is at the home of his
mother, Mrs. Margaret Williams, 912
Turner street, is lying in a stupor to-
day, and is partially rational only for
brief intervals. His condition gives
every evidence of the rupture. Of a
small blood vessel in the BRAIN and
the formation of blood clot as the
result. He is also evidently suffering
from the conclusion to the brain,
caused by the severe blow he received
back of the ear
This afternoon Williams condition
is somewhat improved, and he is rest
ing much easier.

Woodshine and made to look like real
mission woodwork. Look at 1t. You
can hardly believe 1t is not the real
thing. Then he has samples Of old

started the work of erecting its big saw
mill and planer across the river from
Newport it is time that the business

the question OF providing better ferry

as part OF our town 1t is up to US to see
that adequate means of transportation
across the river are provided.
Some steps have already been taken
in the way of investigating plans for SER
vice, and this meeting is called for the
purpose of considering them. Every
business man and citizen of Newport
should feel an interest in this matter
and attend the meeting on Friday even
ing of this week at the City Hall at 8 100

About Pecan Culture.

We continually read in the news. papers of phenomenal yields from pc. can orchards. The profits from these orchards are almost fabulous and De- can orchs rds undoubtedly pay the most handsome dividends of anything known in horticulture. Pecans are the most valuable of commercial nuts and The supply can never equal the demand. The trees grow in any south. ern soil and require but little atsen. tion. Anyone wishing to improve his property should write to the Southern Nut Nursery O., of Lafayette, Louis. lana, for their free catalogue about pecan culture. This concern owns and operates the largest pecan nur. sery in the world and makes a bnsi. nesi of selling pecan trees.

Cooper's Theories Are Being Rapidly Accs,..,
 by Eastern People.

l.. T. Cooper, whose theory that the human stomach Is the cause of most i'll health and who created a furore in Chicago. St. Louis and other western cities. Is meeting with the game remarkable success with his medicine throughout the east. Cooper has convinced an immense number Of people that his theory is sound and his medicine will do what he claims.
 Perhaps the most interesting fea. lures of the discussion this young man is causing, are the statements made by responsible people who have taken his medicines and have become enthusiastic converts to his beliefs.
 Among statements of this charac. ter. the following. by Mr. August Wittmer, 1049 Rockwell Court, Chi. cago.

Candidate Whisky Again.

Mir. Editor: If you will allow me space in your paper want To indorse with all my heart the communication from Johnson township opposing Can didate Whisky. Personally, l don't know that there is candidate in the field that will try to get votes by using whisky. but fl there is such man, 1 hope he will be defeated. We don't need whisky men to fill our offices. We want men who think too much Of themselves and the welfarc of their country to resort to such methods 10 get office. We have. lots of good men in the county well quail fled to i'll office, that are friends to temperance on every part of the ground, and would suffer them- selves defeated before they would resort to whisky, though they knew by using whisky they could be elect ed. Whisky has wrecked too many lives, ruined the happiness of too many homes, to tolerate the use of 1t anywhere as a beverage. When We recall the past history of our county, it brings to mind the language of the old prophet, recorded in Proverbs, %, ?: When the righteous are in authority the people rejoice, but when the wicked heareth rule, the people mourn.
