Charity Work in
Need of Clothes.
Mrs. Ray Reports

With the un seasonably cold weather
Of the past FIVE days the Marshalltown
Associated Charities has been swampea
with calls for clothing for the poorer
people OF the city, and Mrs. Luther
Ray, who is in charge, reports short
age Of several articles. Children's un-
derwear Is one article of clothing which
Is needed at present. A heating stove.
or as tove Of any kind, is also in de-
mand by family which has no stove
of any kind. Some old rugs for two
elderly ladies who have no covering for
their floors could also be used.
The attention Of the charity associa-
ton has been called several times to
two young girls, between the ages Of
16 and IL who have been selling lace
from house to house, and also asking
for help in the shape Of food and
clothing. The girls, whose name is
Stanley, are Living in tents on May
street. between Third and Fourth ave.
nues, just back of the building for
merly occupied by the Western Paris
Green Works.
Mrs. Ray says she has investigated
this case thoroughly. and has found
that their condition Is not as bad as
they have pictured 1t, and that they
have both food and clothing in their
tents. They also have rugs on the floor
Of the tents. The father is horse
trader. Altho several people to whom
the girls offered lace for sale have told
them to report to the charities associa-
ton, Mrs. Ray declares they have
never done so, and that she has been
at the tent to offer assistance. Des-
pite the stories told by the girls to
several people Of their hard times,
Mrs Ray found them making custard
pies when she visited the tent The
girls admitted to Mrs. Ray that the
mayor Of Omaha forbade them asking
for money, so they carry lace with
them to give in exchange for what
ever cash contributions they receive.
The case has never been reported to
the police.
The charities association Is willing to
help any worthy case which Is called
to it's attention, but can not vouch
for irresponsible persons who do not
ask for aid altho claiming to need It..
The telephone Of the charity headquar-
tiers is the same as last year.. 1887, and
the office Is still situated under the
Iowa Savings Bank.

of Chronic Constipation
Dr.. Cald,oell's Syrup Pepsin

Seemed Hopeless.

patton until she was SO run down she
was unable to do any kind of work, Miss
H. A. Frees. 209 Adams ST.. Dayton,

ARTISTS IN RECITAL.
Real Treat For Music Lovers Fails to
Draw PATRONAGE


Draw Patronage.
Once In long while real musical
treat is accorded liberal patronage by
Marshalltown audience. More often
things that are worth while unsteady
full short from box office standpoint,
end after it is too late people realize
that they have missed something.
Contrary to the usual rule Evan
Williams was brought to the city a
few seasons ago by the Tuesday Musi-
cal Club and was greeted by large
audience. Feeling that local music
levers were anxious to hear good
music, the club launched second ven-
ture and, at the Odeon last night, pre-
scented Marie Kaiser, soprano, assisted
by Frederic Gerard, violinist and
Ralph Mason Hix, accompanist The
old rule prevailed; the audience was
much smaller than 1t should have
been, and people who remained at
home missed a real treat.
A more delightful program from a
standpoint Of merit in its class could
net be imagined. 1t was a program by
artists, finished in every detail Those
who love good voice were enraptured
with Miss Kaiser. Those who admire
tie king Of instruments were carried
away with Mr.. Gerard's work. Piano
lovers noted with pleasure the work Of
a former townsman, Mr.. Hix, in the
artistic accomplishments.
1t was pleasure to hear Miss
Kaiser She has charming stage
presence and her voice is round, full,
ard powerful and under perfect con-
t-ol. Her tones were pure and in
many Of her numbers bird-like. Miss
Kaiser is a young woman, only 26, and
with reputation that Is rapidly being
established no doubt has a. great
future. Most of her numbers in her
program last evening were of the
simpler variety, which more often give
a better opportunity for displaying
sweetness Of tone. One Of these that
came into especial favor with the
audience was Nevin's Mighty LAX a

Sheriff J. G. Edgar gained votes n

ward election board had compiled
Koontz's vote as 6, overcoming the
total by 5, which corrected made the

A KINDLY TRIBUTE.

No doubt the travelling public noticed
that the trains have been draped in
mourning for the past few days. While
1t is appropriate on May 30 to CON-
memorate the dead, to the average
railroad man, If it could be possible
this mark Of mourning meant much
more. 1t was silent tribute to the
memory of James J. Hill, not the COL
ossal empire builder and man of gen.
eral affairs, as the world recognizes
him, but to the man, one who has al
ways been considerable and truthful to
those who labored with him in his
great undertakings, and have a share
of pride in knowing that it required
their efforts along their different lines
o: labor toward making Mr.. Hill the
great success he proved to be. For
without the friendship and loyalty of
thousands of men great achievements
are impossible. Each worker in this
community no matter how low his sta
ton, feels keenly the loss of their pres
ident, and the drapings on the build
ings and trains are silent tribute to
the great departed one, and a token
OF sympathy and loyalty to the grief
stricken family at ST. Paul.

AN ERROR CORRECTED.

Some weeks ago this paper publish
ed statement, supposed at the time to
be based on authentic authority, that
Guy B. Harpham, a former resident OF
Oroville and vicinity, had gone insane
after a serious attack Of illness, and
committed to the Medical Lake asylum.
The item was a shock to the many ac-
quaintances OF Mr.. Harpham In this
part OF the county. 1t Is pleasure to be
able to state that the report was
wholly a mistake, for while Mr.. Harp
ham was i'll at Spokane for some time
his ailment did not develop into insan-
ity. The mother OF Mr.. Harpham has
received a letter from the superinten-
dent of the Medical Lake asylum, and
he states that no one by the name of
Harpham has been in the asylum at
any time. Furthermore letter has
been recently received from Mrs.
Harpham by friend living in Oroville
which mentions the fact that Mr.. Harp
ham had recently been sick but was
improving. The Harphams were living
q. Wallace at the time it was said that
he had gone insane, and they are now
residing at Mullen. The fact that the
young man is sound in body and mind
will be pleasant reading to his many
friends.

THE FOURTH AT LOOMS.

Loomis is going to celebrate the 4th
OF July this year, and as the bad taste
of former celebrations in this place has
not as yet been removed from the
mouth Of citizens, and it is not likely
that Oroville will again indulge in such
festivities for a number of years to
come, it may be expected that large
representation from this place will 90
over and help our LOOMS neighbors
to do the hurrah act proper In old
days, when LOOMS was one of the
swiftest mining camps in the north
west, the population pulled out the
plug and let patriotism flow freely
about every fourth. And great times
they would have, too, using up week
firing up for the event and taking a
week after the fires we're drawn in
which to cool off. But there were al
ways large crowds, and gay time and
plenty of excitement to satisfy the
most exacting. 1t is only a proper rec
ignition of the recent identification of
the old town that the people Of LOOMS
should celebrate this year and cele-
