The Girl in the Grandstand,' new
comedy with music by two young Chi
cago Jewish aspirants for dramatic
honors, appeared at the Odeon We'd
nesday night. The piece did not make
good and scored anything but a nit
with the small audience.
David NJ. Wolff wrote the book, and
the lyrics and music are by Arthur B.
Weinberg. Both of the young men were
in the city TO witness the production,
which is now on "try-o out season to
determine whether the play is deemed

Chicago for run.
For so-called comedy "The Girl in

airs especially in the second act, are

RINGS THE BELL
1t Is True That Nearly Every Bride
Wears Ring That Comes From
ellbere's-There's a Reason.

There are more rings worn by the
women of Marshalltown and vicinity
that came from Helberg's. than from
any other store in the county. Why?
Well because Hellberg carries the big
line, he does not buy rings like the
ordinary jeweler, he buys them by the
pound, then carefully weighs each
ring, deriving the cost, and that is the
way he gets his rings for about half
what they cost the ordinary jeweler.
This is your saving as he only charges
YOU a reasonable profit. Such an as
sortment of wedding, plain, signet and
gold rings was never on display in
this city as Hellberg has today.

THE woMEN's CLUB.
Address BY L. C. Abbott On cuisines.
Man in Politics.

The bad weather Of Wednesday af-
ternoon was responsible for very
small attendance at the regular meet
ing Of the NIarshalltown Womens
Club. Mrs. White read a greeting from
the General Federation of Women's
Clubs, pointing out what the federation
can do for each club Unidentified with
it, and discussing plans for increasing
the federation's income. A brief re-
port Of the last city federation meeting,
was read BY Mrs. s. P. Knisely.
The program was in charge of the
business department, Mrs. Harriet SUIT
ton, chairman, and opened with a de-
lightful piano solo, "Hark, Hark, the
Lark" lSch1lhert j isztl, by Miss Loa
Scheeler. who responded to encore.
Mr. L. C Abbott's paper, on "a Bus
mess Man in Politics." was prepared
for and read two years ago before the
National Hardware Dealers Associa-
tion at St. Louis, and dealt largely and
satisfactorily with the question Of why
the business man should enter politics,
why he does not, and what the future
holds forth in either case. Mr.. Abbott
believes that politics needs business
sense injected into its management, but
regretted that political methods are far
from being classed with business meth
DDS. He touched upon the prevailing
graft generally, in municipal govern
ment. He holds that the man is fal
more important than the party, an6

MILLIONS OF LIVES LOST.
An Awful Toll Collected by consump
tion-Many Unnecessary Deaths
From This Disease

If people could only understand that
systemic catarrh is an internal disease
that external applications can not cure,
they would not need to be warned so
often about this malady, which, when
neglected, paves the way oftentimes for
consumption. at the cost of millions of
lives every year. Yet catarrh may be
cured. if the right treatment is en-
ployed.
Catarrh is caused by general dis
eased state Of the system which leads
commonly to annoying and perhaps
serious local conditions, which may
prove fertile breeding ground for
germs of consumption. External rem
edies give but temporary ease.
The only way to successfully treat
catarrh is by employing a medicine
which is absorbed absorbed and carried sy The
blood to all parts of the system, so
that the mucous membrane or internal
lining Of the body is toned up and
made capable of resisting the infection
of consumption and other diseases.
We have remedy prepared from the
prescription Of physician who for
thirty years studied and made catarrh
a speciality, and whose record was a
patient restored to health in every case
where his treatment was followed as
prescribed. That remedy is Rexal

EARLY reports that the licensed and
unlicensed automobile manufacturers
would produce 100000 machines for
next season caused considerable fear
that the country would not be able to
absorb this tremendous output. Since
then these figures have been pruned to
100000 and by close students of the
situation to $4,000. One of the largest
makers of rubber tires in the world
has figured on the demand for rubber
tires from all the factories in the Uni
ted States and bases his estimate on
the 1910 output at 10000 cars. TAX

Settlement is Reduction.

.Altho It has been impossible TO secure |
all of the details OF the proposed basis
OF settlement, it was learned that ii
means a marked reduction in the city's
assessment in most cases. The settle
4nent contemplates, roughly speaking,
a reduction of about 40 per cent from
the original assessments.
OF the thirty-one properties involved
dn the cases. twenty-seven are corner
lots 1t is proposed, in a small percent
age of these cases involving corner
lots, that the assessment be lowered to
what is termed "equitably'' by reason
of the so-called excessive assessment
resulting from paving having been laid
on TWO sides Of the properties
"A further reduction is then conten-
plated. this last lowering of the assess
nent being a percentage cut, which, in
the cases of corner lots where the as
sessment was already cut down, will
approximate at least 40 per cent.
Amount Of Reduction Differs.
Not all, however, of the corner lot
properties are TO enjoy reduced as
sessment before the percentage reduc-
tion is made. In a majority OF the
cases no such reduction is made. and
tions are to be the same, the difference
being based en- the alleged value OF the
property. Those corner lot properties
which are OF the Least value receive the
most. and those that are the most
valuable get a smaller reduction or
none at all
The settlement also contemplates
that the property owners pay low
rate of interest on the assessment,
from the date il was made up to the
less the net reduction received by the
property owners.
Asphalt Company Stands Half.
Attic the Barber Asphalt Company
is not a party TO the suits, it is vitall1
interested with the city in the settle
rnent and for that reason it stands
one-half of Whatever reduction is made
in the paving assessment. The city
stands the other one-half.
From all quarters where the proper
ty owners, the CITY and the pawn.
company are represented, it was give,
out this morning that the prospects TO
settlement We're good and all SCENE,
to be encouraged with the progress al
ready made.
