Altho August is a shy month as far
as birthdays are concerned within the

not allowed to pass without reunion,

it upon themselves to do the entertain

The picnic was held at Hollenbeck

proved a most delightful affair. The
ladies furnished a bountiful supply of
the seasons choicest yiands and the
men provided the ice cream and coffee.

there is no interurban even conteln-

crowd have had salaried men in the
field for months getting rights of-way

franchise and be open to all roads that

Lying critically i'll for week, and
being watched daily by his physicians
who fear that momentarily surgical
operation may be necessity, 17-year-
old Harold Guthrie, son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. S. c. Guthrie, 205 West Church

parents the cause of the ailment, which
Is ruptured right kidney.
Because he did not want to tell his
mother that he had violated her con-
slant admonition never TO jump on a
train. young Guthrie has refused to say
anything about his accident, which
happened one week ago this morning,
during the unloading of the Buffalo Bill
wild west show.
A companion of the lad. however
has thrown light on the injury, which
was sustained by the boy missing his
board one of the circus trains. The
train was moving quite rapidly. and the
led fell, striking his right side against
the step.

every sign that he was not only feel
dng sick but suffering acutely, his
mother pressed him for an answer. The
boy refused to eat any breakfast, and
went to bed. When he grew worse a
physician was called, and found that
the right kidney had been ruptured.
From the injured kidney there has
been a constant hemorrhage, and the
presence of temperature shows pus
formation in the injured region. AS yet
there is no appearance of any danger
from the peritoneal cavity, and it is
hoped that nature will absorb the pois-
on and thus avert the necessity of an
operation.
Young Guthrie is the son Of the
manager of the Standard Oil Company,
who took charge of the local business
of the company two years ago. Mr..
and Mrs. Guthrie came here from

AS the city of Marshalltown is now
a consumer of gasoline in large guam

Oppose Tax On Water PRIVILEGE


Washington, Jan. 29.-Even a Sec
ond veto message has not convinced
members of the house committee on
interstate and foreign commerce of
the entire wisdom of the presidents
views on the granting of dam priv
ileges on waters under the control of
the United States, and as a result it
is almost certain that there will be
no remedial legislation at this con-
gress. The main point of difference
between members of congress and
the executive arises out of the presi-
dents proposal to tax the party con-
structing the dam for that privilege
While the committee seems willing to
agree to a license fee, it hesitates to
concede TO the desirability and the
constitutionality of an annual tax
upon the use of the waters.
