that they have a strong man in their
party
AS general rule the colored people
in Topeka have been under two flags.
1t has always been a hard matter to
combine them into good strong
party. The latest from their camp
says that the flag of truce has been
sent to the top of the staff and they
are now combined in the interests Of
their color. The colored people have
always been dead against the COM
mission form of government and dur
ing the campaign a majority of them
voted against it. They did not think
that their interests would be repre-
scented in a small body of commits
sioners.
commission plan is inevitable and the
only thing for them to do is to rise
up and demand representation InlS
course of electing a commissioner or
their own to be on the city staff has
taken hold and it is thought that their
chances for a victory are good. There
are about 5000 co1ored people in the
city and their influence in general
elections when their votes are needed
by other politicians is marked and
has turned many city elections IN Tor
mer times.
Several of the city officials at the
city hall have been approached by
different colored people asking Tor
ideas on their race against the pres
ent outlay of candidates 1t is I'M

Former Topeka Man Not Dead.

the Topeka relatives and friends of
John P. Fleisch, of Denver. by an
Associated Press dispatch yesterday
announcing the death on New York
Central train at Buffalo, of one John
J. Flach of Denver. Mr.. Fleisch was
here a few weeks ago visiting rela-
tives, leaving for Chicago some ten
days ago. and at that time had in
mind spending some time in New
York city. 1t was therefore feared
he had met an untimely death, but
communication with Denver dis
closed the fact that he had returned
direct to Denver from Chicago, and
that he is now in the former city
hale and hearty.

list up to the figures desired.
The permits last year during Noven-
Der amounted to s91. 900. This is only
about one-third the amount taken out
for the same month this year. And still
some people say that Topeka is not
growing.
The moving picture shows in To-
aeka are proving good thing for the
city treasury. In the November re-
I license Collector G. T. Mattingly it
was stated that in the last month alone
$500 was collected for the operation
1f moving picture houses.
Collector Martingly collected ST.
z21.20 during the last month. This is
compared with the collections for the
same month last year-$331.50. The
city is obtaining a beautiful revenue
from the license collections.

plumbers last night, Howard L. Ward

TO the electric light commission for
additional lights in the city have lost
their long tried patience and they have
addressed the following letter to Mayor
Green:
About six months ago we sent to
the city electric light commissioners
asking for street light. Some of these
lights are an absolute necessity to pre-
vent accidents as our petition recited.
We again call particular attention to
he intersection of Orchard avenue and
evans street, Laurel street and Roose-
welt avenue, where many people grope
through the darkness, mud and de-
plorable street left SO by the laying of
water mains.
Duane street has no light of it's
own nor reflection from any light
Orchard street is improving wonder
fully and we want the city to follow
suit. The Terry store where We
are compelled to go for breakfast
bread and steak is located in the midst
f the proverbial Egyptian darkness.
Several times we have endeavored
&C consult with the commissioners but
we have failed to catch up with them.
They have peddled out street lights by
the dozen but when we were fortunate
enough to get hearing we were told
tr at they were not letting out political
lights. We are not dabbling into poll
ties and all we ask is a square deal.

w. w. Rodwell, former teacher in
the high school here, who has been
superintendent of schools the past
eight years in the province of La
Iaguna, Philippine Islands, was in the

ter, Susie. MIR. and Mrs. Rodwell were
the guests while in the city of Mr.
and Mrs 7. A. Brown.
Mr.. Rodwell and family came from

self and family has been excellent dur
ing their sojourn in the Philippines up
to about three years ago. when he be-
gan to suffer with malaria, which has
made serious inroads upon his health
and has become chronic; hence his re-

eating the malaria from his system
within the year he will go back and
resume his educational work in the
same Philippine province otherwise he
will remain in this country.

THANKS TO THE PUBLIC
National Wooden Mills Thru Mr..
Edelman, Their representative, Ex-
press Their Appreciation for the
Large Patronage They Have Re-

We, The National Wooden Company,
announce our thanks to the public of
Marshalltown. We have enjoyed an
unexpected amount of trade thru Edel-
man, the tailor, the past season. In
announcing our entering into business
in Marshalltown last spring, Mr.. Edel-
man sent out special letter, stating
that we opened an account with him,
and as we stated in our first letter, we
find Mr. Edelman has more than
doubled the business he promised U.S.
Furthermore we will say, Mr.. Edelman
is an artist in his line of business, a
practical cutter, and. we will venture
TO say, he is one of the best designers
in the state of Iowa. That is saying
a good deal and Marshalltown can be
proud to have man that can dictate
style,
There is one hitch that Mr. Edelman
has to contend with. and that is home
talent in tailoring He finds it is a
Very hard matter to get first class
talors, that are up TO date, and for
that reason he is employing tailors that
have worked for him four years, when
he was employed as head cutter with
one of the largest firms In Chicago.
His ambition is to have the work done
at home, but he is like the man from
tIn,-
when they can do that, that is the man
| he Is looking for. Now If the public
1 will take the opportunity to assist him
by giving him just part of their pa
tronage, he will in a short time have
one of the best tailor shops that is in
the state and one of which MARSHALL
town will be proud, as he has had the
experience and understands the bust
ness from A to q.
Now, we. The National Wooden
Company for one, will boost him as
we are making an effort to do so bv
4 giving all the advantage the great big
houses have We are placing over 200
new fall and winter STYLES that are
the very latest up date novelties and
i staple goods with Mr. Edelnan and
we guarantee all to be strictly all wool
ana up-to-date, as we make it a point
not to carry any shelf of stock worn
goods from season to season And yor
VIII find by calling on Edelman, the
tailor you will be able to do lust as
well, if not better than, with any large
city or mail order house in the coun.
try.

DEATH OF M. c. ROBERTSON.

Former Well-known Farmer of st. An.
thony Dies Near Maxwell.
The death of Morris c. Robertson, a
former well-known farmer of st. An
thony, proved shock to the old friends
in this county. Mr.. Robertson began
to be i'll about March /, and has grad
ually failed, and after a hard battle of
over four fonths died at his home near
Maxwell at the age of AZ years. Mr..
Robertson was a loyal citizen, help
full neighbor, true husband and a kind
father. He was a lover of his home
and home life-a believer in the prin-
ciples of truth and honesty, and daily
endeavored to practice that which he
believed to be right.
Morris c. Robertson was the son of
Alexander and Margaret Robertson
and was born April I, 1862, at Gilmore
Town, Tuscarawas county, o. During
his boyhood his parents moved to Say
brook, Mclean county, Ill. There he
grew to manhood on the farm and de-
veloped those manly traits of character
so prominent thruout the years of his
maturity.
On March 10, 1855. he was united il
marriage to Miss Lovina Carbaugh d
Saybrook. Five children, one daugbte
and four sons, came to bless hi.
home.
on Thanksgiving day, Thursday, Nov
IS, 1891, Mr.. Robertson and his family
landed at St. Anthony, where for six
teen years Mr.. Robertson was engaged
in farming, and won for himself place
of honor in the community, being high
~ esteemed for his honesty integrity
and uprightness of life. On Feb %
1907. he moved from st. Anthony to ,nt
present family home. four miles north
east of Maxwell, where in two shor
years the sterling qualities of thi.
noble man and his excellent fanail!
won the respect and esteem of all who
know them. Mr.. Robertson leaves {
father, three brothers, five sisters,
wife and his five children to mourn hi
death.
The burial service was held from III
Christian church at St Anthony, at
o'clock on the afternoon of July II
1909, conducted by Elder S. P. Telfo-d
pastor of the Christian church a
Maxwell, after which the body was lai
! to rest in the Clemens cemetery.

SECURING YOUR SCALP.
Will Remove the Loose Dandruff Scales
But K Won't Cure Dandruff

Will Remove the Loose Dandruff Scales
But II Won't Cure Dandruff.
If your hair is brittle and thinning
you have dandruff. The mere securing
of the scalp of the loose scales, won't
cure dandruff; because dandruff is
nothing but scales of scalp being
thrown up by pestiferous little germ
in burrowing its way to the root of
the hair where it saps the vitality,
causing falling hair and, in time bald
ness. Now you can't stop dandruff nor
falling hair, nor prevent badness unless
you destroy that germ; and the only
preparation that can do it is the new
scientific discovery, Newbro's Herpi-
eide. In fact no other hair preparation
claims to kill the dandruff germ-all
of them will clean the scalp; soap and
water will do that, but only Newbro's
Herpicide gets at the root of the trou-
BILE and kills the dandruff germ. Sold
by leading druggists. Send 10 cents in
stamps for sample to The Herpicide
Company, Detroit Mich. Two sizes
so cents and 81. B. A. Morgan, special
