When the new south side fire station
is built, as it very probably will be
during the coming summer, the site
will possibly be about 200 feet south
of the location of the present station
on South Third avenue. The Western
Grocer Mills has expressed wiling
ness to trade the city tract off the
southwest corner of its property for
the city's property where the station is
now. just south OF the Linn creek
bridge
Mayor Jones, the councilmen. and
Fire Chief Kirby, in discussing the fea-
sibility of the new site and plans for
the station this morning, We're disposed
to favor the trade. The offer was
made year or more ago, and it is not
known whether the company would
now trade.
Tract 4ox1C0 Feet.
The citys station site is 40XlGo feet
The one the Western Grocer Company
has offered to trade is of the same
size. and Chief Kirby thinks. that for
the purposes of fire station, 1t would
be better than the old site. This. he
argues, is practicularly true because
the station built on the site farther
south would be more distant from the
south approach of the viaduct and from
Linn creek The mayor and councii-
men are inclined to agree with him.
viaduet Makes . Difference.
The prospects Of the viaduct being
built in a year or two also remove most
of the objections to having station on
the south side. the councilmen think.
With the viaduct furnishing means
for speedily crossing the railroad
tracks, there would be no delays by the
department being blocked at the cross
ing by trains. The viaduct would also
lessen the length OF the grade on Third
avenue north Of the Northwestern
tracks.
In addition the councilmen argue
that the NJ. & St. L. shops, the Western
Grocer Mills, the Marshall Oil Com
pany, and other industries in that part
of the city makes it advisable to keep
the station on the south side. At one
time it was advocated that the sta
ton should be moved to a site north
of the Chicago Great Western tracks.

Lovers of good music are preparing
for a treat in the appearance at the
Odeon next Thursday night of FRITZ
Scheff. the clever Viennese grand opera
singer, who is to sing the leading role
in the new Hungarian opera, THE
Love Wager"
With an augmented orchestra, and a
supporting company of sixty-five peo-
pie, Miss Scheff's production should be
everything that is claimed for it.
Charles j. Hambitzers music is de-
clared by critics to be most tunefuL 1t
is high grade turnout, and might be
compared favorably to that of THE
Chocolate Soldier" and productions Of
that sort THE Love Wager. is not
musical comedy in any sense OF the
word, but rather light opera. Miss
Scheff's first big success in this coun-
try was in Mile. Modiste."
Miss Scheff, who. in private life, is
the wife of John Fox, Jr.. the author.
is a young woman possessed Of a SUI
perior voice-a voice that is far bet
ter, it is claimed, than that of the av-
erage prima donnas-and with it has
the gift Of acting. She comes by her
talents honestly, being the daughter OF
a grand opera singer. Miss Scheff is
native Of Vienna, where her father for
years was practicing physician. Her
husband has been equally successful in
his line, and many Of his works have
been widely read. Noticeable among
his stories. perhaps, are The Shep-
herd Of Kingdom Come and Trail OF
the Lonesome Pine"

[Supervisor Maytag. when asked
about the controversy, replied that the
Eden township meh misunderstood
him. as he did not intend to promise
anything until he had thoroughly in
vestigated the matter. He says that
he finally voted for the change OF the
road because at the new location about
100 feet west of straight line the
approach to the overhead crossing
would not require SO high a grade. He
thinks that the grade at the new loca-
ton is only seven or eight feet high.
while at the location asked for by the
petitioners ii would have been seven

to meet to investigate the merits of
the controversy. This investigation was
completed. and N. o. Keen, chairman
of the action Of the eighty seven Pc
titioners who had prayed that the
board refuse to change the highway.
position. Mr.. Zines, Of the board. IN
his vote, took issue with the petit
TONERS, and voted against them. This
put the matter squarely up to MIR.
Maytag.
There was a meeting of the board
to be held on the following Monday,
and at this meeting action was de-
ferred until the October meeting. In
the meantime Mr.. Maytag met A. F.
Pike, one of Eden township trustees at
the Eden district fair. and wanted to
know If he was getting his eyes trained
for a crooked road. but Mr.. Pike re-
piled that he was not. Mr.. Maytag
stated that it would be useless as he,
(Maytag) was with the petitioners,
and would vote to keep the highway
straight. Previous to this John w.
Long had asked Mr.. Maytag what he
intended to do in the matter and he
replied that he was with the petit
toners, which was that the road would
be left straight
Now, in spite of these statements,
Mr.. Maytag, when the board met again,
by some unknown means. experienced
change of heart. and Topped from
the straight road to a reverse curve;
in fact. Topped just about as far from
the real right -of-way as possible. Hls
excuse for so doing was that MT. Lutte
kin had promised to get petition OF
our citizens favoring a change in the
road which would shorten the curve
as originally proposed.
The following letter is Maytag's
excuse:
"Marshalltown, Iowa. Oct. %. 1872.
"a F. Pike, Rhodes. Iowa. Dear
Sir: Yours of the 26th at hand and
contents noted. Mr.. Lutekine called
a Binford's office, and stated that II
the railroad company would make an
other change, shortening the curve, ne
could get a petition sufficient for the
change. Action was deferred Tor
time, and the board adjourned Oct.
subject to call of the chair. which was
to be expected soon.
Meeting was called Oct. 25. and was
decided for the change
IF you or Mr.. Long will call at the
November meeting 1 would like to talk
to you. Yours truly,
ID. c. MAYTAG.
MIR. Keen stated his position at the
beginning and stuck to it. Mr.. Emes
did the same in opposing it. MIR. May
tag finally sidestepped. and lastly
flopped clear over.
The Milwaukee road has spent
thousands Of dollars In Strengthening
its tracks. but at the same time leaves
crooked highways for the people in
spite of monster petitions. and the peo-
pie Of this part Of Marshall county are
not at all satisfied with the action OF
Mr.. Maytag in the matter.
1--WE are to be congratulated upon
securing the services OF William Mich
OILS. who is to follow Ny. Keen. and the
thinking public is watching the actions
Of its public officials. Our people will
not be adverse to rebuking those with
whom they are not satified.
