From Spokane

Secured Will Be Viewed, and seIse.

Square.

1t is believed that by Monday the site
for the Sunday tabernacle will be def
nitely decided on by the Marshalltown
Evangelistic association. Albert P. Gill,
building superintendent for Mr.. Sum
day, is expected to reach the city Mon.
day from Spokane, and will look over
the proposed sites.
The association has options on three
sites, the Sinclair property at First and
Grant; the McLeland lots, at Center
and Lincoln, and the property just
south of the Methodist church. If this
is deemed sufficiently large to accom-
modate the tabernacle, it is believed by
members of the association that this
will be chosen as being the most de.
sirable. In the event of the tabernacle
going up here there would be two en-
frances to the building, one on Sec
ond, and the other on Main street.
The selection of the site will rest
largely with Mr.. Gill, whose business
it is to investigate the proposed sites
and put up the buildings. When Gill
comes and makes his decision, an order
for the lumber will be placed.
President Wanberg, of the associa-
ton, said today that the court house
site had practically been given up, as
many OF the members felt that the
questions that had arisen were not
worth squabbling over.
Mr. Gill is on his way to Springfield.

Local Comment

Now that the city council has man
aged to squeeze out from in under the
tabernacle load, it is time that the re-
vision of an electric light ordinance be
considered. Reform will never be COM

the service improved.

Few men have realized the real
magnitude of building Improvements
in this city during the past year. Half

one effort could gather all of the infor-
nation. There is yet more which has
not been told. But next year will sur
pass anything that has gone before.
With a third of a million in sight now
before the building season opens, at
least two thirds and perhaps full
million can be depended upon before
the season closes. What is more to the
point, however is that every real es-
tate agent and most employees of Ia

at Monmouth, ILL.,, Involved
IN Alleged Crime
WHOLESALE ARRESTS PROMISED
Chief Helm and Monmouth Police
Think They Have Succeeded in
Breaking Up Gang That Has Been
Operating Extensively - Employees
Alliance With Thieves.

AN important and sensational devel-
opment was brought to public notice
Friday night at Monmouth, ILL.,, when
Chief HELM, of the detective service OF
the Iowa Central, working in conjunc-
ton with the Monmouth police. made
arrests that they think will result ir
breaking up an organized gang Of
thieves that has been operating to the
severe loss of the Central Three ar
rests were made Friday night
1t is claimed that this gang, which
is comprised of about twenty five
members, has been robbing Iowa Cen
trail cars of between $4,000 and 5000
worth of merchandise per month, for
period of at last a year.
Former Employees Involved.
One of the most sensational features
of the case is that the arrests are eX-
pected to involve many former en-
ployes of the road. 1t is alleged by the
officers that the employees have been
working in alliance with professional
thieves.

"sTRoNGHEART."
A Play of Unusual Merit Coming to
the Odeonf Sunday Evening.

A Play of Unusual Merit Coming to
the odeon Sunday Evening.
"Strongheart." the play of American
college life by VIM. C. DeMille which has
been a success OF the most pronounced
type for the past three years, will be
the attraction at the Odeon tomo
evening.
Mr.. De Mile has been fortunate in
the choice of his theme and equally fe-
|licitous in the selection of the back
ground against which to relate his
story Columbia university Is the To-
and during the big football game of
the season. His leading character,
Stronghold, is a full-blooded Indian
the son of a mighty chief. His tribe,
approaching the value of the white
mans civilization, sends him to Car
Isle and later to Columbia university.
where he soon becomes leader In
sports and general favorite. On the
eve Of a great football game an act
Of treachery is discovered and suspic-
ion naturally fastens upon the Indian.
The prejudice Of centuries then aroused
becomes bitter animosity even when
Strongheant proves his innocence for,
he then reveals himself as q sutton
for the hand of the sister of his chum.
Strongheart has become as one OF
them-speaks their tongue, thinks their
thoughts, is governed by their ideals,
their desires, their fate. What more
natural than that he should choose his
wife from among them? But the white
men will not give their sister to an In
dian, and tho she, because of her great
love, would forsake all to follow him.
fate interferes, for his people will not
accept the white woman as the wife of
Strongheart The play is cleverly
thought out and very ingeniously
staged. There is splendid action.
plenty of sparkle in the dialog, good
situations and intense dramatic pur-.
pose that is certain to grip the atten-
ton from the rising Of the first curtain,
and to hold 1t ait high pitch until the
final word is spoken. Seats now SELL
ing. Prices Is, so, Is and 81.

Two mothers reported to DR.. Rosa
Liebig, overseer of the poor, Thursday
that their sons, and third boy, hal
disappeared from home, and they had
every reason to believe that the lads
had run away. The boys are Lester

son OF X. w. Robbins, 80 South

disappeared Wednesday morning. and
1t was later reported to the mothers.
who have been searching for them, that
they were seen near the Great Western
coal chutes, evidently in the act of
catching a freight train. which was
pulling by at the time they were seen.
The two mothers, Mrs. Allen and
Mrs. Robbins, said that the boys ran
away on Jan. 4, and got as far as AL
bion. They were detained there by the
Iowa Central agent and loaded on) a
train and sent back to this city.

Marshalltown now figures in the
headlines Of the news pages of almost
all the daily newspapers of the central
west For instance the news of a $780,
600 office building appeared in all Of
the Des Moines newspapers, practically
every daily in Iowa and in newspapers
of wide circulation such as the Minne-
apolis Journal and Sioux City Journal.
News of the Shorthill company estab-
fishing a branch was featured in the
Omaha Bee, Sioux City Journal and
Des Moines papers. The new theater
improvements for the Odeon were
published in newspapers at Des Moines,
Sioux City, Omaha, Dubuque and Gin
ton. The Minneapolis Journal spread
thruout the northwest news OF the in
creased employment in the Iowa Cen
trail shops at Marshalltown and like
wise the news of a new stove factory
being established went all . over the
state until almost every newspaper
had published it. Now the American
Tobacco company has advertised Mar
shaIltown on every sign board along
the G. & N. w. railway from Clinton to
Omaha
Another little item of interest that
has caused comment on the part Of the
Iowa press was the fine showing made
in the city's fire record during the past
year. A fire loss of only a little over
$1,000 is worthy of comment. Referring
to the showing in this city the Burling-
ton Hawk-Eye says editorially: Mar
shalltown is either exceptionally for
tunate, or she must have an excep-
tionally capable and faithful fire de-
partment. Her fire losses for the past
year were less than $4,000. After the
efficiency of fire department has been
brought to the greatest possible state
of perfection, there is still room for
vast improvements. Lie City . III = vi ~
nances can be improved. Certain kinds
Of construction can be prohibited and
the erection of fireproof buildings can
be promoted in various ways. The. old
peculiar belief that q fire caused no
real loss as long as there was sufficient
insurance, is rapidly dying out. The
majority have figured out that the
losses are not paid by the companies,
but by the owners of insured prop
erty." The Western Underwater,
leading insurance paper, also comments
on the wonderful showing for a city Of
this size. Small fire records mean low
er insurance rates.
The Des Moines woman whose con-
science smote her because she had
failed to pay 10 cents for two street
car rides here years ago, has evidently
been reading of Marshalltown's inn
provements, and has taken for granted
that the street car line had kept pace
with the procession The misguided soul
probably thought that the rides were
worth cents each.
