Mr. Doolittle has been very successful in his business opera tions here, especially so when consid ering the fact that he is probably the youngest man in the business in Mar shalltown and was at a disadvantage in having as his competitors men of years and experience. He is determined to make his third year a bigger one than ever. To be a guest at the home of Miss Josephine Welch last evening was a rare treat. The guests were received by little Miss Ivatharyn, sister of the hostess, and were shown into the par lors by Misses Marie and Hellen Welch.

Zacharv Taylar, a descendant of old "Hough and Ready" Tavlur, once president of the T'nited States, who was injured on the Northwestern at Quarry about ten days ago by hav ing his left leg broken by the failing of a pile, left Wednesday evening for his home in Council Bluffs. Taylor is yet far from being well enough to travel, and fainted at the depot Wednesday evening while waiting for the train. He is very anxious, however, to spend Thanksgiving with his wife and fam ily. and was given permission to travel and furnished with a pass by Mr. Ira C. Belden, of Chicago, assistant claim agent of the Northwestern. Although extremely youthful in appearance, Taylor is a married man and is 35 years of age, having a wife and four children. He has worked for the Northwestern eleven years and this is his first accident of any consequence. Taylor's ancestry is traced directly to the ex-president. His father is J. B. Taylor, a farmer of Little Sioux, Har rison- county, and his grandfather, Henry Taylor, was a half brother of Zashary Taylor. The Northwestern improvements in the yards at this point are about com pleted: The track has been raised six inches, or even with the depot plat form. Coarse gravel has been used in abundance, and a covering of liner gravel and sand has b.een placed be tween the double tracks. The next im provement to be made, which will be completed, it is thought, before long, will be the placing of a new platform between the tracks and extending fa enough south to take in the Central tracks. The only thing then lacking to make Marshalltown's depot as good as the best of them will be the placing of an overhead covering for the tracks. During rains and snow storms passen gers are greatly inconvenienced by having to aligh4 from trains which are not under cover. This condition will bo found to be true this winter, on stormy days, by the passengers on the North western's west-bound trains, on whi"h passengers are now loaded and un loaded on the south track without any cover whatever. The passengers are compelled to alight and get on the train on the south side of the train in order to avoid any danger from east-bound trains on the next track, and they are compelled to walk around the long trains in order to get under cover.

Athletic Association Foot Bull Eleven Does Battle With Town Team at Kldora. The members of the foot ball eleven of the Marshalltown Athletic Associa tion, left this morning at 9:45 for Eldora In the best of spirits and confident of winning the laurels in the last game of the season, with the Eldora Athletic Association. The Marshalltown team Is even stronger than it was at the last game, with Bangor, and if it fails to win it will be because luck is against it. The line up, as arranged by Capt. Rice when the team left this city, was as follows: Rice, left end Richeson, left tackle: Scott, left guard: Packard, center Pigman, right guard Schooley, right tackle Jones, right end quarter, Reynolds and Wilson left half, Beebe right half, Eckles full back, Whitelilll. The sub stitutes who accompanied the team were Weaver, Sargent, Hubler and Stern. Manager Morse accompanied the eleevn, as did also the following ooters: Clarence Bates, Claude Culley, Earl Bigalow, Will James, Fred Weber, Earl Stoddart, Will Cunningham, A1 Fredland, Frank Sherlock, Gus John son, Maurice Lawrence, Fred Johnson, Roscoe Adams, Chester Claus, Roy Woods, Paul Shetler, George Olson, George Ow'.ngs, Will Hellen, Gus Lang, Will A. Brown, Byron Carpenter, L., O. Merryman, R. Fetters and C. Peterson. Nevada PJaysa shabby Trick. The high school had no game In Mar shalltown this afternoon, owing to the failure of the Nevada team to show up. To make matters worse, it was not known until Wednesday evening that the eleven would not come. A card to Manager J. F. Reed from D. L. Zwil ling, written the 28th and received after supper Wednesday, said that the team had disbanded and would not be here to keep its engagement. Manager Reed was at a loss to know what to do, but as he had advertised a game he was deter mined to arrange one if possible. Ac cordingly, to make sure with Nevada and to get some sort of a satisfactory excuse, he telephoned the manager of that eleven, but got no satisfaction. He then telephoned the manager of the Os kaloosa high school team, but that eleven had already scheduled a game and could not come. Waterloo team was asked and the manager stated It would be impossible to get the boys together at that late date. State Center was ap pealed to, and promised to come pro viding the weather was favorable. A part of the team was at the depot this morning, it was learned, but as all the members were not there the rest did not come. They were telephoned again, but declined to come on account of the rain. As a consequence the game had to be abandoned. Nevada seems to be a hoodoo to the Marshalltown eleven, as a game had been scheduled last year and the weath er prevented. The arrangements for the game today were made two weeks ago and should the Nevada eleven have decided to disband for tlip season it should certainly have come to that con lusion before the eleventh hour. Man ager Reed says that he has understood that Nevada had a game scheduled with Ames and that that is the reason the team did not come here. This has not been verified, however, and but little credence is placed in it. DEPUTY"GARV1EY RETIRES. Gives Up Ills Duties In Sheriff's Of llce to Look. After Business Mut ters. Wednesday evening Deputy Sheriff M. M. Garvey severed his connection with the sheriff's office. This action was voluntary on Mr. Garvey's part and agreeable to Sheriff McPherson and was taken In order to enable Mr. Garvey to look after some private busi ness matters that need his attention.
