case of the new hotel law were made
at conference between w. c. John
ston, of Ida Grove, counsel for the no
tel interests, and State Hotel Inspector
Lafayette Higgins, at the Slavery.
"The case will probably be tried the
last Of this week and possibly in Polk
county if the chances for a speedy
trial are favorable" said Mr.. Johnston.
The reason we have had to postpone
action was that the preparation of the
case has taken longer than was ex-
pected. We are now ready for the
test case and hope to rush it thru so
that the September term of the SUI
preme court may pass on the consti-
tutionality of the law"
A great howl went up from a num-
|P. last Tuesday when they arrived at
Manila from Sioux City and found
they had to lay over all day as the
east-bound passenger had gone and
left them. 1t does seem strange that
the company would not make their
own connections, but on the other
hand. If they had held the thru train
two hours, which they would have had
to have done, the passengers for the
east would have missed their connec-
tons at Chicago.
Mr. Wheeler, the great candy kid,
who hales from the great city of Os-
kaloosa, was in Marshalltown and
Grinnell last Thursday. What Brother
Wheeler had under his cap we were
unable to find out, but we feel sure he
was after some one, as he is never still
one minute of the day.
L. L. Putzel, with the Marshall OIL
Company, went up the branch one day
last week. L. L. stood the. trip fairly
we'll, but it told on his strength quite
a little.
What has become Of the travelling
mems picnic that is to be? Some one
should get busy and arrange it while
this nice weather lasts.
M. T.. Groom, who has Travelled {
number Of years for the c. c. Prouty
Grocery Company, Of Des Moines
started out last Monday for the lowe
Grocery Company, of Fort Dodge. M
E. will cover his old territory. s. P
McNierney, whohas held a position IL
the house, made his first trip las
week in place Of Mr.. Groom.
No. 4, the east bound passenge
train on the C. M. & ST. p, WILL com
mencing July %, stop at Dunbar OF
Sundays only, for revenue passengers.
None are more pleased than are tn
travelling men over the decision Of tn
railroads not to allow sweeping of car
in transit, for nothing is SO disgusting
as to have the porters on the thru
trains sweep the cars when they ar
loaded with passengers. 1t surely wa
not very sanitary.
Mr.. Foster, salesman for the Glob
Soap Company, accompanied Dan Mar
pany, of this city, on his trip las
week.
#. IL. Reynolds, Of the firm F. +
Reynolds & Co., lumber dealers Q
minneapolis. spent last Wednesda,
calling on the trade in this city. F. T
was on his way to st. Louis to atten
the annual convention of the Gideons
a religious organization among travel
ing men. He was delegate from Min
neapolis.
Ed Stoltz is still undecided just wha
he will do, having had number c
offers. He expects soon to accept on
of them and again take up the grip!
We hope whatever the change may b.
it will not take Ed and his family ava
from MarshalltoWn.
