RAILROAD WILL FIGHT

Northwestern TO Resist Efforts OF
Marsh alltown Club Committee and
Petitioners to Foroe Improved
Conditions for Passengers at Union
Station.
The Northwestern railroad. acting
thru It's Iowa attorneys, will fight
the efforts Of the Marshalltown Club
committee and resist the demand Of
more than 800 petitioners, that meth
DDS ofhandling passengers and certain
trains at the union station be i'm
proved. That Resistance Is prom
ised by the railroad is seen in let
ter from the state railroad commits
sion to Il. H. Draper. head Of the
club committee.
The commission promises that a
hearing will be held, and inclosed
with the promise a copy OF a letter
from the Iowa attorney Of the rail-
road. The latter letter sets out that
in view of the expense incurred by
the road a few years ago In building
the Third avenue viaduct, the road
has come to the conclusion that 1t
can do nothing more for MARSHALL
town at this time,
The petitioners to the commission
complained that passengers were
forced to stand in all sorts Of wealth
err on a poorly protected open plat
form because the road insisted on
opening its west-bound trains only

city turns over to the county war
rants for rental Of city orficss for the
past eighteen months, which have
been withheld pending the outcome
OF suit started by the county to
svict the city from the building.
Tho suit started by the county will
be withdrawn. and the necessary L.
gal action probably will follow a con-
Ference between the CITY solicitor and
county attorney. who will determine
as TO the payment OF court costs.
Inc settlement ends a series of
controversies covering a period Of
years and places the city and county
on a new basis with the administra-
tive bodies in accord. Future i'm
provements In which both city and
county are interested will not be
prejudiced by old differences and Ill
feeling and both city and county will
profit by the action OF the council
and board, which met on halfway
ground prepared to make concessions
where necessary to bring to an end
an aged feud, which arose out Of
Misunderstanding and stubbornness.

SAYS A CORN ACTS
LIKE ELECTRIC BELL
Tells Why Corn is So Painful anC
Says Cutting Makes Them Grow

Press an electric button and you
form a contact with a live wire which
rings the bell. When your shoes
press against your corn it pushes its
sharp roots down upon a sensitive
nerve and you get a shock of pain.
Instead of trimming your Corns
which merely makes them grow. just
step into any drug store and ask for
a quarter of an ounce of freezone.
This will cost very little but is suffi-
cient to remove every hard or soft
corn or callus from ones feet. A
few drops applied directly upon a ten
der, aching com stops the soreness
instantly, and soon the corn shrivels
up so it lifts right out, root and all
without pain. This drug never in
flames or even irritates the surround
ing tissue or skin.
