President of Western Grocery
Co., Selected to Lead Reor-
organized Corporation
WILL BE ITS PRESIDENT
Creditors and Stockholders of tho
Bankrupt Fish and Oyster Company
Select Let's to Be Executive of tho
Reorsanzed Company - Mr. Let's
Declines to Discuss the Matter.

F. c. Let's, OF Chicago, president
Of the Western Grocer company, of
this city, has been selected to be the
executive of the reorganization Of the
A. Booth Fish company. which be-
came bankrupt few months ago. The
selection of Mr.. Let's is said to be
a positive fact, he being the man chos-
en- to lead in the regeneration Of the
company by both the stockholders and
the company's creditors.
The details of the proposed plan Of
reorganization have not been given
to the public, and Mr.. Let's is quoted
as declining to discuss the matter for
publication.
The following regarding his selection
and the plans under foot for the COM
pany's future is from the Chicago Tri-
bune Of Sunday:
Reports that the planned reorgani-
cation and regeneration of the bank
rupt A. Booth Fish company, practice
ally was a fact were given substan-
tiation yesterday when the identity Of
the. man whom both sides have agreed
upon as the head Of the new concern
became known.
Frank c. Let's, head of the West
ern Grocer company and the Nation
al Grocery company, corporations do
ing business annually amounting into
the millions, is the man selected to
place the fish company on the pay
ing basis which II once occupied.
"While Mr.. Let's would not discuss
the matter. representatives of both
-ides, creditors ard stockholders in the
company. announced that he was the
most desirable man whom they have
yet suggested and that it remained
with him whether he would take
charge of the company"

Assignment Of w. D. Toler to
Monmouth Round House
May Cause Trouble
REFUSE TO WORK
M Elm
Unions Here Are So Notified If ToIer
Is Returned To Work--Meetins of
Joint Unions Held Sunday and De-
termination To Strike Is Reached If
Toler Is Re-employed.

The possibilities OF another strike,
involving the shop and round house
employees Of the entire line of the Iowa
Central, with its center in this city and
Monmouth, ILL.,, developed in Monmouth
Saturday, and here Sunday, when 1t
became known that w. d. Toler. the
man who shot and killed George ".
Davies during the strike last summer.
had been assigned as night foreman
of the Monmouth round house. Toler
was acquitted by a Tama county jury
in December.
On the best authority obtainable,
which lacks, however, absolute verifi-
cation, it is said that at meeting of
the joint unions, representing the local
shop employees, held Sunday morning
at the Trades and Labor assembly
hall, it was decided to strike 1t Toler
were returned to work.
Monmouth Men Refuse to Work.
This meeting followed kilograms e.
ceived by the boiiermakers and ma
chinists of the local shops from the
boilermalSerS and 1nachinists of the
Monmouth round house Saturday aft
ernoon. These kilograms said that the
machinists and boilernnakers of Mon
mouth would not return to work il
Toler became night foreman. A joint
meeting was called at once for Sun
day morning No information, as the
%I,S, r,Nr,1I 30 nh
tanned from union men interested.
Believe Truce Effected.
It is believed that a truce, of ut least
a temporary nature, was effected over
Sunday, as the local shop force was at
work as usual this morning. But what
ever the nature of the arrangements
made, neither Assistant Master Me-
chanic William Gill nor Master Me-
chanic Gossetts chief clerk, Mr.. Lind
say, protested to know when seen this
Mr.. Gossett is not in the city. He
went to Monmouth Saturday night,
where he remained Sunday Today he
is in Chicago. tits presumed that the
fact that the Monmouth men would not
work was communicated to Mr.. Gossett
upon his arrival there
Sunday morning. Toler was to have
begun work Sunday night.
Monmouth Men Not Out.
AT the Office of Master Mechanic
Gossett 1t was said this morning that
the Monmouth men were not out, or
the headquarters of the q, department
here would have been so notified at
once. This is ground for the conclu-
sion that Mr.. Gossett effected an ar
for the time being at least,
that mrestalled a strike. It is be-
lieved here that had Toler gone to
work last night the Monmouth men
would be out, and strike would have
been precipitated here.

serum for cerebro spinal meningitis,
which was made for the first time in

Demonstrators Making Reliability. Run
Over Frozen Iowa Roads.

SN0t Ul0GSu s0Wa TOo0os
A reliability run over the frozen
roads of Iowa, in zero weather,
brought an automobile party into the
city Sunday evening. The car used in
the trip is the new Studebaker q. NJ. F.
80, the only one of it's kind at pres
ent in the state. The run began at Dav-
export at noon Tuesday, in charge of
F. P. Steinhauer, OF the Buck Auto
company, state agents for the Stude-
baker line. No effort is being made for
fast time, but to observe what the car
will do at a season when automobiling
is not especially attractive. m,
The route taken to this city was via
Muscatine, Oskaloosa and Grinnell.
Stops were made at each point. Out of
here the car will stop at State Cen
ter, Ames and Boone, and go from
Boone to Des Moines.
On Wednesday. in the run from
Washington to Oskaloosa, the mercury
ranged from Is to 20 below. G. A.SGlid-
;den of the Glidden tour, who was
driving, froze his left hand and was
relayed at Oskaloosa by Frank Jahns,

other transactions are showing up that

right Only Saturday Mr.. Gregory
was visited by customer who wanted
to pay his bill. The account was
looked for, and no record of It could

q scratch of the pen, according to- Mr..
Gregory, to show that the coal had
been sold. The order book was con-
suited, and showed nothing. The scale
ticket was missing, also the return
card of the driver. Mr.. Gregory says
that instances of this kind are very
rare in the coal business, and that If

A STARTLING STATEMENT.
New York Medical Authorities Claim

New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.
The post norton statistics of the big
New York hospitals show that some
cases OF consumption are due to UNI
checked dyspepsia, especially when the
victim was predisposed to tubercu-
aosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable stomach
is unable to digest food, the body does
not receive the required nourishment,
constipation ensues and the victim be-
comes thin, weak and haggard. AS a
result, the body becomes fertile field
for the germs of disease to lodge and
flourish.
Therefore, the person who permits
dyspepsia to progress unhindered is
guilty of contributing toward the de-
velopment of one Of the most insidious
and fatal diseases known to mankind.
Dyspepsia is durable if properly
treated The Mcbride & Will Drug
company sell a remedy which they
positively guarantee will cure indiges-
ton or dyspepsia or they will pay
for all the medicine used during the
trial. This remedy is an absolutely
new medical discovery and has been
named Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets. Ger
tainly no offer could be more fair, and
the offer Of the Mcbride & Will Drug
company is proof positive that Rexall
Dyspepsia Tablets slre a dependable
and infallible remedy. Inasmuch as the
medicine will cost you nothing if it
does not benefit you we urge you who
are suffering with INDIGESTION or dyS-
pepsia to try this remedy. A twenty
five cent box of 3exall Dyspepsia
Tablets contains enough medicine for
fifteen days treatment. Remember
Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets are only sold
in Marshalltown by the Mcbride &
Will Drug company.

Single Penny of Indebtedness -
Sum of $1,000 Raised at Mornino
Cerv;ca

The new $4,000 Methodist church at
Albion was dedicated Sunday entirely
free from debt. Altho three services
were held during the day, morning, aft
ernoon, and evening, it required only
the first no raise the $4,000 necessary
to start out the new church with no
indebtedness.
AS a result the church is much graf
flied. The members were anxious that
the building not be handicapped by a
debt, and all rallied ito the call for
funds to wipe out the last OF the ex-
pense necessary to build and furnish.
Rev. A. T. Bishop. of Iowa Falls,
preached the dedicatory sermon, and
made the appeal for funds.
While all the services of the day
were largely attended, owing to the
