COLONEL PRATT MEETS
RETAIL ASSOCIATION
Consulting Engineer of Chicago Out
lines Plan and Rates and Promises
improvements to the Extent of $780,
ooo-committee Investigate PROPOSE

The Retail Merchants Association
met in the council chamber this morn
ing TO consider request from Col.
E G. Pratt, consulting gas engineer,
of Chicago, for good will and support
in securing an extension of the fran
chise for the Marshalltown Light, Pow
er and Railway Company the entire
property of which he said his associ-
ates propose to purchase, extend and
improve.
Mr.. Pratt said that his deal was now
ready to close pending the extension
of the franchise. In answer to questions
as 10 details of the franchise he would
ask he proposed a gross rate on gas
starting at S140 per 1000 cubic feet
with 10 cents discount for cash and
further reductions to large consumers.
He also proposed to reduce the rate
cents when the consumption OF gas
in MarshalltoWn shall have reached
S5,000,0o0 cubic feet per annun. II is
now 22000,000. Still another reduction
OF . cents is promised when the con-
sumption shall have reached $4,000, 900.
When his attention was called TO the
fact that the old rates which people
are now paying in Marshalltown gave
them net rate OF sl.15 when they
used between four ana five thousand
cubic feet per month whereas his pro-
posed rate was $1.30 net, he replied
that if his sliding scale averaged high
CT than the ord rates here he would
revise il, as it was not his intention
TO ask for an average increase over
the old rates. When asked if he would
be willing 10 accept the new rate ordi-
nance recently passed by the city coun-
Gil reducing gas rates TO s110 this
year s1.05 next year and 800 the next,
he replied that these rates We're pro-
l1ibitive, and that capitalists would
not invest in public utilities at such
prices.
In return for an extension of the
franchise at the rates asked he prom
ised Improvements TO the extent of
$4,000. 4 motion was made by L. C.
Abbott that a committee OF three be
appointed to confer with Mr. Pratt, in
vestigate his proposition in detail and
report TO the association Friday morn
ing. President Hopkins appointed L. c.

next Monday night at the Odeon, when
Frank Gotch, the worlds champion,
will meet Carl Olson, the big Swede
of St Louis. who is classed with the
heavyweights and strips at go.
Devotees of the game will naturally
ask how it happens that Gotch is
brought here for match. and this is
explained by NJ. \. Connolly, who is
promoting the bout. Connolly was pri-
marty responsible for bringing the
Humboldt youth out of Iowa corn
fields and managing his first public
appearance as a wrestler. Dan" Nc
Leod of Cleveland. who has himself
worn the championship shoes at pres
emf claimed by Gotch was also inter-
ested With Connolly in forcing Gotch's
debut several years ago, The result is
that Gotch has a warm feeling in his
heart for both Connolly and Mcleod,
and when Connolly asked him TO come
to Marshalltown following his Chicago
match, Gotch readily consented

Gotch defends his title as worlds
champion at Chicago tonight, when he
meets Yusif Mahmout, the Bulgarian
Turk who is touted as the best man

INTERESTING FACTS.
The B. M. Hyde Drug Company Offer
to Cure Catarrh. The Medicine
Costs NOTHING IF They Fail

When medicine effects cure in 50
per cent of cases, and when we offer
that medicine on our own personal
guarantee that it will cost the user
nothing if it does not cure Catarrh, ii
is only reasonable that people should
believe US. or at least put cur claim to
practical test when we take all the
risk. These are facts which we want
the people of Marshaltown to sub
stantiate. We want them to try Rex
all MucuTone, medicine prepared
from a prescription of a physician
whose specially was Catarrh. and who
has a record of thirty years of cures
To mis- credit.
We sell more bottles and receive
more good REPORTS about Rexall Mucu-
Tone than we do of all other catarrh
remedies sold in our store, and if more
people only knew what a thoroughly
dependable remedy Rexall tMucu- Tone
is, it would be the only catarrh med
icine we would have any demand for.
ReXall MucuTone is quickly ao-
sorbed and carried by the blood until
the entire mucous membranous tract,
dcStIOSS anu removes the parasites
which injure and destroy the mem
branous tissues, soothes and heals the
irritation and soreness, stops the mu-
cous discharge, and builds up strong,
healthy tissue, relieves the blood and
system of diseased matter, stimulates
the muco-cells, aids digestion and i'm
proves nutrition until the whole body
vlbrates with healthy activity. In a
comparatively short time there is a
most noticeable gain in weight
strength, good color and feeling of
buoyancy.
We urge you to try Mucu- Tone, be-
ginning a treatment today. AT any
time you are not satisfied, simply come
and tell us, and we VIII quickly re-
turn your money without question or
bubble. We have Rexall Mucu-Tone
in two sizes 80 cents and 81. The Nc

realize that there is no longer any hope

STATEMENT OF
STANDARD STRIKERS

The chairman of the grievance COM
mittee of the striking employees of the
Standard Arms Company, Harvey w.
Brown, issued the following statement
to-day in reply TO that made by the
secretary of the Standard Arms Com
pany.
The statement made by an officer OF
the Standard Arms Company in a
morning paper to-day that the com
pany did not want to compel any OF
their employees to work against their
will on Saturday afternoons was all
right so far as the words were con-
cerned. but we do not think It was
borne out by the facts. The machine
operators were told by the general
foreman of the company on the Mon
day following the first Saturday that
the men did not work, that If the men
did not work on Saturday afternoons
they could get their money and not
continue at work.
The strike includes not only the tool
makers but was called for all the en-
ployes except those on salary basis.
Naturally all new plants run without
any income to start, expect to get their
return later on.
A larger statement will be forthcom-
ing by the committee in charge OF the
strike.
