ATTRACTIONS
 1.-THE THEATRES
PARK THEATRE
s.NEARLY NLARRIED."

That portion of theatre goers who delight in laughter-and they are 1e- gion-are finding much pleasure in the announcement of the presentation here of Edgar Selwyn's farce Nearly Married, '' which is to be seen at the Park Theatre Monday and Tuesday, Matinee Monday. In making their preliminary announcements for this piece Cohan and Harris state that they hope it will be a funny farce
 More power to Conan and Harris, say we. An honest avowal like this is rare enough to call attention to the exploited play if other resourceful ones had not brought it to our atten- ton. It is so unlike the usual bonn bastic methods of showmen in gen erasl, who, having wares to sell usually exhaust the adjective pages of Web ster's Unabridged in an effort to inn press their importance. Conan and Harris do, not say that Nearly Mar ried'' is
 The funniest farce ever written, .
 "A laugh that gird1es the globe
 t'The most furiously funny and fan tastic farce in the wide world
 ''WfIl knock you off your seat
 Nothing like that for Conan and Harris. Just-'twe hope it will be funny faree,'' and we are willing to bet a stack of Aunt. Jeminra's famous pancakes that it will be a funny farce
 Nearly Marrfed'' has a 75 per cent. start for the goal of success in the personnel of it's announced cast, which includes as it's feature member MT. Bruce McRae. Associated with MT. McRae will be John Wesley, Robert Fisher, Mark Smith, Harry Lorraine, Schuyler Iadd, Jane Grey, Virginia Pearson, Ruth Shepley, Georgia Law renee and Mabel Acker.

FOUED DEAD WITH z HIS THROAT CUT

Unfonvi11e, Conn. Aug. so-with his throat cut, his left eye gouged out by a boot heel, a deep stab in his breast and bullet through his heart, the body, of a young, well dressed man was discovered yesterday afternoon in a lot in the northern part of this vil- 1age- A straw hat near the body bears some address on Boylston street, Bos- ton, and belt appears to have been purchased in New York city.
 A conductor on a trolley line that runs to Hartford thinks he saw the murdered man, accompanied by three others, last Tuesday afternoon
 No money was found on the body, but in one pocket was a Swiss watch, which had stopped at thirty-four min utes past twelve o'clock There were evidences of a desperate struggle.

Dearth of Payers Is Responsible For
 Delay In Streets

fT have been unable to get payers, ' that is why the work on Barnun ave nue from Seaview to Central avenue has not gone along faster" This was the explanation which J. H.. Magi1l, superintendent for the Hassan Paw ing and Construction Go. made to the Paving and Sewer Commission last night when questioned about the de- lay of his company there.
 He did not attempt to explain why the excavation made for the concrete foundation was allowed to stand for nearly a week before any attempt was made to lay in the concrete. The committee of East End citizens who have been threatened to call on the commission and demand action in this section of paving did not appear eith- CT.
 MT Magin said he couldn't get pay CTS without sending to Philadelphia for them. With three more good payers Magil1 said he could make much faster progress. James Longo Of the firm of Piscettelli 6 Longo cor reborated Magilfs statement about the difficulty in getting payers.
 'I hope to get through with the concreung of Noble avenue by next Saturday Nagi1 told the commission. n. <1 have told my men they must work Labor Day and those who do not re- port for work that day will get no more work from me-
 Magfll in conclusion said he hoped to finish all the work which his com pany is doing by Sept 15-
 Supt. c. H. Chapman of the Con necticut Co., was present and told the commission that his company was willing to go ahead with the work in Stratford avenue but in view of the great amount of construction work which it is carrying on at present and the state of it's finances he could not promise much more. He said it would | be agreeable to his company if the work on the new paving was started l at SeaVieW avenue to. proceed east ward on Stratford avenue. w. H Arthur who has the contract for the work was present and told the com mission he would begin the work for I the city on Tuesday.

NEW GARAGE BIG AFFAIR.
Wheel Building Ono Of Largest and
Best of Kind in State.

Among the more substantial build
ings now in the course Of construc-
ton in the city is the new block on
South Third avenue erected on the
site of the old artificial ice plant by
+. w. Brewer, for his daughter, Mrs.
E, V. Wheel of Chicago, at cost of
approximately $4,000.
The new structure was begun about
Dec 10, and when completed will add
greatly to the appearance of the ave-
nue.. The building will have a ground
dimension of 55Xt3S feet, and will be
faced with Kansas buff brick trimmed
with dark red brick. 1t will be two
stories in height.
The first floor will be occupied by
the Bobzine Automobile Company, with
one of the largest and best equipped
automobile garages in the state or
Iowa, and with spacious salesrooms.
The main entrance on Third ave-
nue. will be wide enough to admit free
access or exit Of larger automobiles,
and the lobby will be enclosed in glass
so as to eliminate danger Of collisions
with pedestrians by cars leaving the
building full view of the street be-
ing afforded in either direction a cars
length from the doors.
AT one side OF the entrance will be
the salesroom, 20x42 feet. and on the
other side a large room, 1ax30 feet, to
be used as a ladies' waiting room and
toilet.
The rest of the main floor will be
used as Il garage and automobile sta
bic. fully equipped for all kinds of re-
pairs and storage.
The second floor will not be finished
until later. Mr. Brewer may convert it
into a hall for public purposes as Ii
has been admirably planned for those
demands. 1t would be one of the largesl
halls in the city if devoted to thar
purpose and would be easily ventilated
having twenty foot ceiling. 1t would
be a fine place for an arlnory, in the
event of MarshalltoWn organizing a
military company.
MIR. Brewer is panstalling in tho
erection of his building: is seeing
that only the best of material is go
ing into the structure and is per
sonally experimenting the work. The
work will be hurried that the auto
mobile company may be housed b!

RURAL SCHOOLS PROGRESS.
Sanitary Measures Adopted in Schools
of County.

That Improvement in rural schools
has resulted during the past year is
shown by reports made to the outgo-
ing superintendent, Miss Mary Hostel
Ter.
The improvements most noteworthy
are the adoption Of sanitary measures
in the way Of heating and ventilating
the buildings, and the introduction OF
sanitary fountains.
A. A. Gettlestad, a Norwegian direc-
tor in district No. 6, LeGrand town
ship, could, if he chose. claim the cred
it Of being the first school man In the
county to introduce better system OF
ventilating in the ordinary country
school house.
While Mr.. Gettlestads idea was not
original, insofar as the method is con-
cerned, he took the initiative and fur
nished the school house in his district
with something more than the ordin :
airy heating stove that roasts the chill
| dren who sit near 1t, and permits the
others at q distance to freeze.

LIGHTING OF CITY
is BIG IMPROVEMENT.

One of the most noticeable improve
mems in the city during the past year
at least one which will attract most
attention, is the installation or eiec-
troliers on South Third avenue. rms
great Improvement extends the Srea'
white way" from Main street to the
Great Western tracks and is a most
pleasing adjunct to the city beautiful.
Marshalltown was transt1rmed in the
summer of 1910, when pubic spirit
asserted itself and the merchants on
Main street bought the poles and lights
for electrifying the street. From
dark and dingy thoroughfare, with
suspended arc at the street lnlerstc-
tons. the business section of the city
was lighted with eloctroliers' turning
night into day, and causing Marshall
town to rival big city with her say
white way"
At that time the merchants bought
the poles and lights and Installed the
system. Sixty poles We're Installed each
with five lights, making 900 lights IN
five blocks along the main street.
This Improvement was so marked
that Third avenue business men began
to envy tho uptown merchants. ana
long for white way" of their own.
Later the merchants and property
owners On Third avenue We're solicited
and gladly joined in clectrifSing the
street and as a result Third avenue IS
today almost as brilliantly lighted as is
Main street.
Thirty-two poles were installed on
Third avenue. eight TO the block Tor
four blocks Sixteen molo poles VIII
he added next spring. the poles extend
ing from the Great Western tracks
south to the old Iowa Central general
office building, a distance of two blocks.
This great Improvement. together
with many brilliant electric signs re-
Gently added on Main street, make the
business district of MarshalltoWn one
Of the best lighted in the country. Dur
ing the holiday season the scene along
the main street was one of brl!!lanCE.
This Improvement, il may be sup
posed is an expensive one to MAINTAIN.
but the cost is less than would be
IMAGINED Under the old electric light
rates the cost was SO 33 per pole Of five
lights per month. When the new rates
were put into effect this cost of main
tenance was decreased to $50 per
pole. the present rate.
Third avenue is to have still another
