Buds.

The colder weather of the past few
days, following several days rain and
cloudy weather, resulted in the ex-
pected frost Tuesday night when,
the sky cleared. While the weather was
cold enough to freeze ice in all parts
Of the county, at some places to a
thickness Of a quarter of an inch, the
circulation of air prevented the frost
settling on the fruit buds to an extent
that much damage was not done.
Reports to the T.-R. from all quar-
tiers of the county indicate that the
damage to small fruits was slight if
any. Laurel reports heavy frost, but
not of the white, killing kind, and it
is believed the damage will be very
slight.

At Marietta it is believed that only

MEETINGS NEARING CLOSE.
Baptist Revival Services End With
Thursday Night.


A rousing meeting at the First Bap-
fist church last night proclaimed an
increased interest in the revival serv-
ices that are being held there. Evan
gelist Hoag expressed his appreciation
Of the earnest cooperation on the part
Of so many during this revival cam
paign. The hearty response from the
workers has made the meetings most
successful. But two more meetings
remain, and it is expected that these
will eclipse in interest and results any
that have been held. The large chorus
choir is proving one of the most eff
cient agencies Of the meetings and this
feature Of the work will doubtless be
continued in the Sabbath services, for
some time.
The sermon last night was based on
the incident of the conversion of the
Phillipian jailer. Believe on the Lord
Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved"
was the text. What is it to believe?
A believer is one who struggles to
eliminate from his life every thing
that prevents him from living in har-
monious relations with his God"
At the close Of the sermon many ex-
pressed desire to live the life Of
believer. Tonight Mr.. Hoag will speak
on the subject: "Lost Thru Neglect"
The song service is from 1880 to s
o'clock

mercial and professional interests as
to the formation of such club, be-
lieve l can speak authoritatively when
say the time is now ripe to crys-
trallize that sentiment which the COM
mittee found favorable into positive
action. We were able to secure, after
only two half days work, nearly 100
names pledged to support such a club,
and had not personal work interfered,
would easily have gotten 200 pledges
the amount decided as the minimum
number necessary before starting the
association.
Your suggestion of an auditorium
In connection, IS admirable. and from
a pecuniary standpoint alone would
prove profitable investment
Marshalltown, with its geographical
advantage of being in the center of the
state, and easily accessible by direct
railroad connection with every part of
Iowa, is the natural convention city
for the state, and if we furnish ade-
quate auditorium and hotel facilities
we could easily secure two-thirds of
the conventions and large gatherings
held in Iowa.
Give us an auditorium and the trav-
cling men will get some conventions
here with very little effort.
At conservative estimate, l believe
we would bring 5000 strangers to our
city the first year, each one of whom
would spend on an average of not less
than SIS, or total of $4,000. Figur-
ing the net profit on that business at
Is per cent, would give us s11,250. Now
I estimate it would cost probably s25,
900 to build an auditorium and club
house and equip it. The interest earn
ing capacity of $4,000, figured at 6
per cent, is equivalent to s1.500, leav-
ing profit to the community of $3.50
per year from the auditorium This is
to say nothing from an advertising
standpoint for the city, and l know
it could be rented at different times to
private enterprises for enough to COW
err taxes, insurance and janitor service.
1t is true it uses funds to build an
auditorium. but it does not use them
up, and the merchant who charges his
contribution to the fund up to his loss
account is entitled to one more guess.

WATCH YOUR TONGUE
If Furred and Coated, It's Looking
Glass Stomach Warning.


When it is the morning after the
night before, you do not have to look
at your tongue to know that the stom-
ach is upset, the head is aching, no
appetite, nerves on edge with all the
sunshine of life clouded.
The real time to watch the tongue is
all of the time. If it is coated with a
white fur, or possibly with dark trim
mings, even tho the stomach does not
tell you by the acute pains of indiges-
ton that it needs help, yet the coating
shows you are getting into bad way
and that there is need of Mi-o-na.
Mi-o-na is so positive, so sure, so re-
liable in it's curative action upon the
stomach that Mcbride & Will, the To-
cal agents, give a guarantee of salts

Again, just after his first fraudu-

Tenth, it was heralded by the public
press, that Mr.. Watson would leave

pursued. Today history is busily VIM

it has been all along the line.
The intrepid mariners have always
been condemned while exploring and

but those who have followed after
them have had the manliness to rec

A Metropolitan
Banking House

The improvements at the Union Ma
tional Bank have been completed and
now there isn't a more handsome
banking house in the city. Fifteen
hundred dollars On interior decora-
tons and other improvements have
been spent, changing the appearance
of the bank so that one would scarce
ly recognize the place. A new front
has been put in, plate glass windows
added on the south side, giving a
great deal moro light. The ceiling
was decorated in old. ivory color, and
the walls provided with the 4Linerusta
leather New flooring sets the whole
place off to advantage.
Three new cages have been added
for the. payingteller, receiving teller,
and discount clerk. The cages allow
business to be transacted with more
dispatch than usual. The business OF
the bank is Increasing right along, so
that these improvements. were abso-
lutely necessary.

Will Handle Market Days

One Of the best things to be sold
in Minot On Market Day, June 6, is
a full-blooded, imported, pedigreed
Percheron stallion seven years old.
Here is chance for several farm.
ers who want good sire to go to-
gether and buy one jointly The
terms of this sale will be cash or
bankable paper. The horse weights
about 100 pounds.
Mr.. Gillen has made arrangements
with the Scofeld Brothers to handle
the market days in the future. This
seems to have been a very wise sell
ection, for the Scofield Brothers al.
ways make a success Of whatever
undertaking they have anything to do
with. James Scofield himself Is an
auctioneer and will likely assist In
the sales. The Scofeld livery barns
are among the largest in the state.
Whatever the Scofeld Brothers do
they go at it in earnest, and do things
on a large scale.
Everything is in readiness for the
big day. If the weather permits thous-
ands Of farmers will be here on that
day, and it is foregone conclusion
that the venture will be a great sue
cess.
Hundreds OF postal cards have been
sent out, and farmers have answered
them stating that they will be here
with everything from a guinea pig to
stallion, which will be sold.

For the first time Ward county is
going to have a governor. It is prac-
tically conceded that G. A. Johnson
will be nominee of the Republican
party. No one hopes to elect Twichell.
The thing for Ward county to do
is to give c. A. johnson the unani-
nous support of the party. Be patri-
otto enough to go to the polls on cleo
ton day and boost for Johnson. There
is nothing that a candidate appreci-
ates more than large home vote.

liked at home. Personally c. A. John
