LIGHTS FOR WEST MAIN
Movement Started BY Marshalltown
CLUB and Property Owners to Extend
EIeetrolier Lishting to. thirteenth.

A plan proposed for lighting West
street with electroliers was approved
Tuesday night by the parks and boule-
wards committee of the Marshalltown
Club. The project is a cooperative
move of the Iowa Railway and Light
Company ana the West Main street
property owners, and it is believed the
city will lend it's assistance by agree
ing to maintain the lights once they
are established by the property owners.
The Inwa Railway and Light Com
pany will erect new and permanent
steel trolley poles on Main street from
Third to thirteenth. 1t Is proposed to
attach an iron backet. carrying one
sixty watt lamp and globe to each Of
these poles at a height to line, up with
the electrolier lights in the business
section. The Public utilities company
has agreed to furnish the poles ana
set them, and to furnish the brackets,
lamps, globes and wire, and install the
lamps at practically cost. The property
owners committee guarantees the cost
will not exceed $3.50 per each sixty
foot lot. The property owners are to
pay for bracket, lamp, globe and in
stallation.
The Iowa Railway and Light Com
pany has plated the street to place
seventy-four Of the poles at distances
ranging from 80 to 12S feet apart,
and spaced SO that there would be two
lights at each street and alley inter-
section. 1t has proposed rate to the
city for furnishing the light. For the
ten blocks the rate is about 800 a
year more than the city's expense OF
maintaining the ten arc lights that
will be removed These arces are badly
needed in other parts of the city, and
the completion of this project would
allow the city to move them.

PHYSICIAN TELLS HOW

1T is a worldwide misfortune that
such a small percentage of the public
understands the simple fact that about
90 per cent Of all stomach troubles are
due to an excess Of acid in the diges-
tive fluid Of the stomach. This trouble
can be Immediately overcome by simply
neutralizing the excess acid. You can
cure yourself. Avoid bitters and the
various stomach medicines and merely
take teaspoonful Of ordinary bisur
ated magnesia, dissolved in a little
water, after each meal. 1t gives sur
prising and immediate relief. AS there
are several forms of magnesia be sure
that you get bisurated magnesia. You

Knoxville Man, Now Banker in Mar.
shaIItown, Stands Well at Home.
Fl. NJ. vawter, Of Knoxville, who has
recently moved to Marshalltown to en-
gage in the banking business being as
ISOLATED with J. L. Williams in the Sc
curity Savings Bank, was an active
and prominent citizen at home as may
be judged from the expressions OF the
Knoxville newspapers.
The Journal says of him: "Dr. Vaw-
ters career in this city has made him
we'll known as fnancier as well as a
professional man Of much ability. With
the exception Of o. P. Wright he Is
the oldest director in the Marion Coun-
Ity National Bank, having, served con-
tinuously in that capacity for over
twenty years. and has also taken an
active part in its management.
He has served on the city council
several times; was director and treas
urer Of the Knoxville Commercial Club,
and was member of the park board
six years and also its secretary. In
short, it can be said Of him that he Is
business man, professional man and
financier of far more than mere ordi-
rary abilities knowing Of him as we
do we confidently bespeak success for
the Security Savings Bank Of Mar
shalltown."
In much the same language tho Ex-
press refers tl him as having had
long and o,.orabfe business career in
Knoxville; and express regret on the
part Of his many friends and associates
in business and society that he and
his family were to leave. He has been
a director IN the Marion County Rank
for twenty years q longer period than
any other man except the president,
o. P. Wright. He y active and aggres-
sivet in business. and every indication
is that his new venture will prove
great success.

come to Topeka to exhibit. The voters
of Shawnee county in the election
Saturday, in favOring n tax levy of
one-fourth of one mill, made it possi
BILE for the mana cement to absolutely
guarantee the payment of premiums.
Then, too, exhibitors like to show
where there is a crowd, and it is
foregone conclusion that there will
be the greatest attendance on the
grounds in the history of the fair.
The machinery manufacturers in par
ticular pick out the fairs that draw
the greatest attendance, for display
purposes. 1t is safe to predict, ac-
cording 10 the mana cement, that there
will be acres of machinery of varied
assortment on the grounds next Sep
tember.
Free Entry at Gate.
OF course there will be a charge
made to the grandstand, the conces-
sions, and the night show, but the eX-
hibits will all be free as usual-and
the gate. The money voted by the
county will go towards the payment
Of premiums only. The money re-
ceived from the concessionaires, from
entertainment or entertainments, will
be used to pay the overhead expenses
which are always heavy. AS a mat
ter of economy there will be no sec
retary this year. If all of the money
raised through the special tax levy for
premiums is not required the balance
will be held by the county and it may
not be necessary to make as heavy a
levy next year.
