LOCAL PANS PREPARED Marahalltown Will Ba Raprasantad in Central Aaaoolatien This Season. All doubt a* to the status of this cits •a a prospective member of Central Baseball Association was removed last night when President Justice, of Keo kuk. notified the loeal fans by tele phone that Molina had failed to exer cise its option on the Kewanee franchise within the time limit, and was now "officially out of it." Presi dent Justice added that Marshalltown was next in line, and the committee appointed to recommend a successor would visit this city this week to look over the situation. This decision, however, does not re move 'Moline from becoming a com petitor for the place, nor does it pre clude other titles from making: appli cation and putting up a fight, but it does give Marshalltown an opportunity to meet the committee and place the advantages'of this city as a baseball town before it with a certainty that Marshalltown will be carefully con sidered before any recommendation is made at the annual meeting of the as sociation to be held soon. Marshalltown Practically Certain. The situation has resolved itself to this: 'Marshalltown is now practically the only contender for the open berth. Moline having failed to make good In the time limit extended. Moline may make new application, but Marshall town is better prepared to enter the association, having the necessary means to buy the franchise, put up a playing guarantee, finance the club, and has the advantage of having the park ready, whereas Moline has found difficulty in raising the money and is without a park. It is not belteved other cities will en ter the flight at this late hour, altho there is some talk at Oskaloosa of making application. Campaign la Continued. An enthusiastic meeting of fans was held at the Marshalltown Club rooms •Monday evening, when subscription lists were checked up and plans made to continue the campaign for funds, solicitation having been temporarily abandoned until the Moline option ex pired.

They didn't want to be al ways taking something. They took this vegetable calomel as soon as they noticed the coated tongue—the dizzi ness—the achy feeling—the blood waves—the full feeling—and released the bile from the liver. They said "to make the liver act," but we have learned that the liver is but a strainer, and that bile clogs In the liver, leaving the body a prey to the putrid matter that should be disinfected by the bile. FODOLAX RELEASES THEE BILE. Tour anchesters knew that it was ne cessary to start this bile, and didn't temporise. They took iMay-Apple Root In some form, and while it grip ed and sickened, they took it because it Did Deliver the Bila. In PoDoLax you have 'the same thing, but without the gripe and nausea. It acts so quietly that you are never disturbed in your daily vo cations. Tour ancestors knew that it was ne spoonful at bedtime as soon as you notice the bad taste—the coated ton gue. Do so and you are free of It the next day. To have it in the house means to take it early and be relieved quickly—so by all means get a bottle at the first drug store and take a stitch in time.

The question of the division of the cost of lighting the faces of the clock In the court house, and keeping the clock'going, which came up once before several years ago, has bobbed up again. The supervisors have filed with the city a bill for $457 for the city's half of the cost of lighting and maintaining the clock for four years. During that time, the supervisors claim, the city has not paid Its one half of this cost. The reason has been that during that time the supervisors have never rendered a bill for the city's half. After W. H. Jones was appointed to the board he began investigating and found the city had not been paying Its share, so a bill was rendered the city. The bill haB not yet been al lowed by the city council. ROOFING COMPANY SUES CHURCH Baptists Claim Damages For Leaky Roof, and Withhold Payment.

The $500 sued for, was according to the contract, held up by the trustees as a guarantee that the roof would be water tight and accord ing to specifications, or until it was made so. While not denying the claim, the church trustees have not been able to agree with the Chicago concern how much it should stand of the cost of re decorating the church, necessitated by the leaky roof. The trustees offered $250 in settlement of the balance on the contract, but the company did not ac cept it. TO CATALOG RELICS. Historical Society Will Have List of Curios Indexed.

Spiritualistic Fraud Exposed By Detec tives on Duty. Wichita. Kan.—W. W. Aber, the spiritualist medium, who has been operating In Wichita was exposed while giving his materializing seance In a room in the rear of Dr. J. C. Curts* office at 135 North Main street. Aber, while pretending in the dark ness to be the -spirit of a dead woman, was stripped of his shroud and wig he had put on before coming out of the medium's cabinet. The exposure of Aber was made by an operative from the Wichita district office of Plnkerton & Co., Detective agency of which John A. Roche is the local manager A reporter was present and assi-sted in the exposuie of th« faker by holding a flashlight on tne scene while the detective grappled with Aber. Mr. Roche kindly conated t"vs service of the detective for the ex posure at the request Plnkerton company's Wichita clients. The men and women who had been going to Doctor Curts' rooms night after night to see and talk with their departed relatives thru Aber at a dollar a talk, were thrown Into a near panic by the exposure. Babies cried, women ecreamed and men shouted for the police. Chairs were overturned. The utmost confusion prevailed while the rays of the flashlight revealed the fako that was being conducted In the dark ened room. Doctor Curts and Doctor Franks act ed as the official bouncers for Abe* and rained heavy blows on the heads and bodies of the two yourg men who dared to. molest Aber. and .the scheme to extort money from trusting victims The Plnkerton operative, and athletic young man with an abundance of nerve clung to the "spirit of his dead mother" while the flashlight showed that the "spirit" was doing his utmost to wiggle back Into the cloth-coviered cabinet and get into conventiontl clothes. In the fierce but brief. tussle, Aber was divested of the white shroud and gray wig he wore to Impersonate the spirit of the "dead" mother, who in truth, is not dead at all, but alive and well. When the two exposere finally were knocked and dragged from the seance room, the Plnkerton operative took with him a black eye and a bleed ing face in addition to a handful of gray hair he had pulled from Aber*a Wig. Kit, Aber. gathered up the ahroud *b",H1 tia.-i-.'rfiM',. iS* V'ISSSb •~U' l*S WWW* and other pieces of her husband's dis guise ais soon as sho had got the scared "spirit" away from the mob and back Into the cabinet. Dr. Curts had removed the only elec tric light bulb in the room from its socket and put it in hU pocket before the scance began. It was Impossible for anybody to turn on the electric light. One of the believers in spiritualism who was present had been taught that if anybody grabs a spirit it will kill the medium who Is materializing tha-t spirit This faithful follower fled from the room in search of some whisky for Aber. When he returned with the liquor Aber had recovered from his fight sufficiently to drink the whisky with apparent relish. He pretended be in a faint until the stimulant was administered to him. The laying of hands on the spirit had cost Aber his reputation In Wichita, but not his life. Enoch Arden Inherits Wife's Estate. Jonas Butler, of Coudersport, Pa., lived in Hornersville, N. Y„ when the war broke out In 1881. He enlisted In a New York regiment. The following year he was reported killed In an en gagement. Following a period of sev eral years his wife married Philander Eaner, who died in 1882. Some yeaie later she married William Demit, whom she also survived. Later she heard her first husband was seen alive, whom she long mourned as dead, but she was unable to locate him. It appears that In 1894 Butler re turned to Hornersville, but lie learned that his wife was married to Dewltt He saw her In her home with her third husband, contended and happy. He did not make his presence known, but went away, leaving his wife still thinking him dead. Butler's long absence Is explained by the faot that he was wounded In th# service, and lay In the hospital for months, and when his health was re stored his mind was a blank as to all matter preceding his wound, and he did not regain his memory for years. After the recent death of his wife the surrogate sought out her heirs, and he was cited to appear among them, and will get some of her property.
