Committee is Ohosen to Seek a
Speaker For the Graduat

f' V:
WILL ASK REV. R. H. POTTER
Effort to be Mads to Secure Pastor of
Hartford, Conn., Church—Board Will
Choose Preacher for Baccalaureate
8ermon—Graduating Class Numbers
Twenty-five.
With the appointment of a cofnmlt
tee to seek a speaker for the graduat
ing exercises on Friday evening, May
31, the first steps were taken1 at the
board meeting Wednesday evening to
prepare for the commencement of the
public schools. J. L. Carney, T. I.
Wasson and Superintendent Aaron
Palmer were chosen to secure the
speaker. One of the first ones fo be
sought by the committee will be Rev.
R. Harmon Potter, pastor of Center
Congregational church, Hartford,
Conn.
A special interest attaches to the
suggestion of Rev. Potter as a possible
speaker because Mrs. Potter is a for
mer Marshalltowp girl, and- b'ecause
Rev. Potter is the head of one of the
oldest churches of its' denomination in
the United States. Mrs. Potter was
formerly Miss Jean Gilchrist, daughter
of Mrs. Ida S. Gilchrist, 705 West Main
street It is not known whether Rev.
Potter will be available. The gradu
ating exercises will either be held in
the Odeon or manual training build
ing.
No More Dempster/Episodes.
The board will exercise its preroga
tive in the selection of the preacher
to deliver the baccalaureate sermon,
and there will be no repetition 'of the
Dempster episode, whioh stirred the
city two years ago. In years past the
seniof class has chosen the one to
deliver the sermon. -Soon after Rev.
Mr. Dempster delivered his harrangue
the board took this privilege away from
the class, but last year this new ar
rangement of the board was misunder
stood, and the class again chose the
speaker. The board will, however,
take that duty upon itself this spring.
The graduating class this year will be
of about average size, having a mem
bership of twenty-five, only four'..of
whom are young men.
Aak Right to Sell Building.
Whether or not the board may have
the authority to sell the old Hartwe'.l
sohoo] building will be answered by -the
voters at the coming school election.
The request that the board be author
ized to do so will be submitted in the
form of a ballot. The :building is un
used and cannot be insured, and as it
is a frame building and a fire risk the
board wants to sell it. It can not do
this without the authority of the vot
ers.
The board authorized T. I. Wasson,
chairman of the building and grounds
committee, and President A. G. Glick,
to: accept the work of Lewis & Kitchen,
who Installed the heating and ventilat
ing syateih for the high school build
ing. Minor defects have delayed ac

KENNEDY HERE
New Owner and Manager of the Base
Ball Team Takes Possession Today
—Is Looking for Players, But His
Try-Out Squad Will Be of Small
Size.
A. S. Kennedy, of Cedar Rapids, part
owner and manager of the local base
ball team, was in the city today to take
actual possession of the property of the
local association. Kennedy received
while lie was here the first payment of
$1,250, and as evidence of his inten
tions to carry the team thru the sea
son put up a certified check for a sim
ilar amount.
Because of business which will de
tain him in Cedar Rapids, Kennedy will
not be able to come to the city until
late this month, probably about March
23. Kennedy is looking for players,
and has negotiations under way for a
number, but as vet he has actually
signed but one. He turned over tto
President PeCkham this morning a
contract signed by James J. O'Malley,
of St. Paul, a catcher. Kennedy says
O'Malley is of the sort he is trying to
sign, and that he is a catcher of much
experience with Minnesota! teams, al
tho this is his first"break into profes
sional company.
& Kennedy does not intend to sign and
bring here for the try-out season any
great number of players. He will sign
very few, if any, youngsters who are
Unknown. He rather prefers to line
up a team of experienced men. It is
cheaper and less expensive, says Ken
nedy.
Marshalltown now has the largest
factory in the world for making steel
furnaces. Others just as large manu
facture furnaces along with other pro
ducts but not one makes as many
Steel furnaces exclusively. Few people
living in the city realize that the Len
nox Furnace Company's factory has
grown to the largest factory in the city
and the largest of its kind In the world.
Its employment during the past season
reached 166 men and will go to 180
before another winter. The next insti
tution to it excepting the Iowa Central
Railway Company is the packing house
which employs 125 men. If-any man
questions the right of Marshalltown to
call itself a manufacturing center let
him be referred to the Lennox furnace
factory. Here is made a product which
sells in carload lots 'back in the iron
centers of Pennsylvania, It is exported
to the Canadian northwest where none
but the most powerful heaters can batt
tie with a northern winter, it is sold
thruout the middle western states, dis
tributed widely from such points as St.
Paul, Denver, and Spokane and over
the entire coast country from Van
couver, and Seattle to San Francisco
and Los Angeles. Last year the San
Francisco agent sold one for duty in a
coffee drying plant on the Hawaiian
Islands and an American gentleman
bought one 'which he took with him to
Japan to be installed In his new house
there.

ENGINEER HUNT DEAD.
Well-Known Illinois Division Central
Engineer Dies at Monmouth.
Mrs. Ed Hayes arrived home Wed
nesday evening from Monmouth, 111.
where she went a few days ago in
response to a telegram announcing the
death of J. N. Hunt, formerly of this
city, a "well-known Iowa Central en
gineer. Mr. Hunt died on Thursday, as
the result of a long Illness due to lo
comotor ataxia. The ftineral was held
Sunday afternodn.
While Mr. Hunt hi? been bothered
with the paralytic trouble for two
years, he had only been confined to his
bed for a few days before his death.
Hunt was well known on both the
eastern and Illinois divisions, and had
been in the service of the company for

PLANT OF LENNOX FURNACE COMPANY—MARSHALLTOWN, IOWA.
such a sale as this without it had spe
cial merit. For years hot air furnaces
had been made^-of cast iron sections.
One section on top of another built up
a furnace. The joints between sec
tions were filled with an asbestos ce
ment, but when the Iron was 'heated It
would expand, loosening the cement
and permitting coal gas and smoke to
leak thru into the air chamber and
thence into the sleeping and living
rooms of the house. In order to over
come this "dirt" about a furnace, the
Lennox steel furnace was made of
heavy steel plates riveted together un
der tremendous hydraulic pressure, on
the same principle as a steam boiler,
absolutely gas tight. With the fire
enclosed in the gas-tight steel shell
there was no more gasing or dirt about
a furnace when it was a Lennox.
It was found that steel was a quick
radiating material, just suited to the
purpose of radiating heat into an air
chamber as the current of cold air
came in contact with the hot metal
surface. In order to increase this radi
ating capacity and get the moat heat
out of the fuel used, an Indirect radi
ator, crescent shaped, was added. By
means of at hanging partition inside,
the hot smoke, entering at the top, is
forced down to the bottom of the radi
ator and back to the top again before
It escapes into the chimney, thus util
izing an immense amount of heat that
woul-d otherwise be lost., It is this pow
erful heating capacity that has caused
a large jobbing house in the great city
of Winnipeg to select Lennox furnaces
in preference to all other furnaces from
about fifteen years. His residence here
was prior to nine years ago, when tie
was employed as engineer of a switch
engine. He was 51 years old, and is
survived by his wife and three chil
dren. When the Hunts were here they
resided at 208 West Railroad street.

By the use of a damper rod the draft

portion of the fire pot or a grate to

replaced, thru ,the fuel door without
going to the expense of a whole new
fire pot and without tearing down the
casing as must be done with most oth

very Inexpensive for repairs.
The double fuel doors, too, are a
great convenience, for they make it
possible to help out on the fuel bill
by burning chunks and trash in spring
and fall, besides making it much easier
to feed fuel than thru the average
small door.
There are many special features
about Lennox furnaces which have
been added to overcome the weakness
es of the average hot air furnace, all
of which go to make an ideal furnace
and which are the direct cause of
building up in an inland city the
largest factory in the world for mak
