The Parland- Newhall company re-

liar musical attractions in this coun-
try. It is one of the great 'headliners'
of the Mutual Lyceum bureau list, that
now leads all others in its selection OF
great attractions which are acknowl-
edged to be pre- eminent. This company
is unrivaled in it's bell ringing and has
raised it from novelty to a musical
feature of great artistic merit.
The brass quartet adds another mus
ical surprise. Mr.. Bret H. Ringler, slide
trombone soloist, pupil of the great Ar
thur Pryor, brings to the company this
season great additional strength
While his solos will be a notable feat

of the brass instruments in ensemble
will be splendidly in evidence.
The male quartet numbers-the re-
suit of three years Of coaching and re-
hearsing, together with careful study
of the demands of the more discrimin-
ating public audiences-add finish

None Better Than,
Marsha1lto,D1 and
Ti,nes-Rep,lbica,1

The press Of Iowa has noted the re-
cent Christmas edition of the Times
Republican with words Of praise Tor
the paper and the city for which 1t Is
working. These expressions are not
only appreciated by the Times Repuh-
lican, but by the citizens Of MARSHALL
town.
The following from the Vinton Eagle,
written by Mr.. Bernard Murphy, eds
tor of the paper, and appearing on the
editorial page, is a good illustration Of
the attention the special number Of
the T.-R. attracted turnout Iowa:
1.-The Msrshalltown Times-Repub-
lican under the date Of Dec. is was
splendid mirror both Of the town
and the newspaper. 1t contained six
teen pages. Seventy-five columns OF
it was advertising and the balance the
regular reading matter of the paper.
The Times Republican is regularly one
of the best newspapers In the state
No money seems to be spared to bring
to it the best and the latest Of news.
This especial issue Of the paper shows
what there is among the business
element of the city. 1t makes rs
good a representation in that respect
as some towns twice the size. It plainly
shows that Marshalltown is on the
map. It is we'll supplied with rail-
roads and it's trading territory takes in
quite a scope. 1t can well let it's bus
mess be known thru the columns Of the
Times Republican as the paper circu :.
lates all thru the central parts of the
state. Iowa is full Of good towns and
good newspapers, but there are none
better than Marshalltown and the
Times Republican."

Site Being Sought to Build Structure
For Sunday Meetings.
A search is being made by some
of those interested in the Marshal toWn
Evangelistic association, the corpora :
ton recently organized, to promote the
business Incidental to the Sunday re-
vival meetings, for site on which to
build, the immense tabernacle in which
these meetings will be held.
An effort was made to secure the
land in the rear Of the residence on the
northeast corner of Main and Sec
ond streets, but this effort will prob
ably not be successful because 1t Is not
likely that the council will permit a
wooden structure ito be built within
the fire limits of the uptown district.
Mayor Ingledue thought when asked
regarding it this morning, that it was
very unlikely that the council would
give Its consent to the building of 4
tabernacle anywhere within the fire
limits. In fact, he said, the council
could not do so unless it first amended
the ordinance establishing the fire
limits, which he thought was very
unlikely, altho so far as he knew the
subject had not been discussed by the
councilmen.
The fire limits of the uptown busi-
ness district of the city are as fol-
lows: Beginning at the corner Of Main
street and Third avenue, thence east
to Fourth avenue; thence north to
State street; thence west to Third ave-

1t was reported uptown this morn
ing that the board Of supervisors had
given their consent to the erection Of
the tabernacle on the ground surround
ing the court house. When asked re-
garding this, members of the board
of supervisors said that no such a
request had been made Of them. They
did not care to say whether they
would grant such request. provided
it was made.
