MRS. TRAISOR RUSHED N AND YELL on THE
BODY OF HER HUSBAND"
stood, as 1t were, transfxei at the sight Of
the dead. The men who had brought down
the body at last found words to tell their dis
NAL story.
They were at work on the upper floor,
when thep heard a noise in one OF the ad join
ing rooms; as the apartment had been for
some time unoccupied, they were naturally
surprised. After while all sounds ceased,
and still no one came out to descend the
stairs. Appalled, by the silence. they broke
open the door, and discovered Trainor hang
ing by the neck from coat-hook; chair,
overturned, had served as the scafold from
which he had stepped into eternity. They
took him down, but life was already gone A
paper lay on his hat, with these words hasti-
ly pencilled on it:
sOn my desk is letter that explains
all I'm off Goodbye.
John TRAIyoR"
Mr.. Major, hearing this, instantly went
into his Office, and reappeared reading note
addressed to him Mr.. Norcross, meanwhile,
was striving to raise the wretched woman to
her feet and to lead her 70 the carriage. Mr.
TriIIion no longer whisked his defiant eye
brow, but stood downcast, silent, and con-
scienoe-stricken.

We met the Hon. S. E. Stebbins
on the street Monday, and on ask.
ing him when the republican con-
vention met at Watertown, he said
he did not know. That in fact he
was getting to be so much of free
trader that he was not paying much
attention to the republicans, any
more. And continued: "American
farm products come in competition
with foreign products the world
over. The southern cotton planter
sells his cotton at Liverpool quota
tions and the northwestern farmer
comes in competition with Russian
and Indian wheat. and sells at
J Liverpool quotations, thus are we
not virtually at the option of the
markets of the world, while the
people of the United States on the
other hand are unnecessarily COM
PEELED to pay the very highest taxa
tion and extortions possible for a
living; it being right now Ameri-
can development and industry pitted
against capital and pauper indus
tries of the old world-with the
middle men-our manufacturers
and notwithstanding the entire
profits of the home producer. 1t
does make big showing to have
great corporations, great cities and
immense residence houses in the
country, but at present rate of Gre
alton these largely tend to impover-
ish the commoner and the producer.
Thus it occurs that a Chinese wall
built around the United States
means the subordination of public
and home interests to the whim and
aggrandizement of manufacturers
and capitalists. And it is prepos-
ferrous to talk about "protection"
aiding the man who has labor to
SELL" TIE TIMES is perfectly safe
in saying that there are thousands
of clear headed and independently
thinking men all over the northwest
coming to the correct version of the
present status of this war taxation
scheme being so cleverly appropri-
ated by the braZen faced advocates of
class interests, but they do not all
have the honesty and courage to at
once acknowledge the truth, as has

DEATH OF MIR. VANDERVEER

DLA IL OE Mh. ANDLh EILlC.
The community was panied, Fri
day of last week, to learn that w.
B. VanDerveer, the aged father of
W. j. VanDerveer banker of Wal-
peton, had accidentally fallen down
flight Of stairs sustaining severe
injuries. DR.. Swaine was immedi-
atcly called but in spite of every
thing possible the injuries proved
fatal few hours afterward. A few
years ago Mr.. VanDerveer lost his
eyesight, since which time the par
ents have made their home with
the son above mentioned, where the
father has been tenderly cared for,
coming to this city from Dubuque,
Iowa, two years ago. The deceased
was born in New Jersey, February
14tl 1910, where he attained noble
manhood, coming west to Iowa in
1861, where he lead an active busi-
ness and public life to 1875, when
lnisfortunes in the way of ill health
befell him. Mr.. VanDerveer was
always a leading and aggressive
Democrat and up to the very last
took much interest in the welfare
of the party, always insisting on
getting out to the polls on election
day, if at no other time. Although
but few people here had an acquaint'
ance with the deceased, we learn
that he stood fully six feet tall per.
fectly erect, with beard and hair as
white as snow, presenting an ideally
dignified and patriarchal appearance
| Quiet funeral services were helG
Saturday morning and the remain:
were at once expressed to Dubuque
and although deceased was an ad
vanced Mason, the remains wer'
met at the depot by the families O.
: two daughters who reside there ant
a delegation of Odd Fellows o
r whose order he was an esteemed
member, and the remains were lait
! at rest with those honors.
The deceased leaves his aged wife
their sons w. j. (and other member
of the family here), and H. r.. in suth

knowledge for the millions

tions, and extends from Baptism to
Bilberry-637 pages, large type, hand
some cloth binding, for SO cents, or
in elegant half Morocco binding for IS
cents Is that not truly bringing
knowledge within reach Of the mill
ions?
The great merit of the cyclopedia is
its adaptation to practical use giving
under each proper head the informa-
ton most likely to be needed, and in
concise, easily available form. Care
full examination impresses one with
its accuracy, as well as the remarka-
BILE fullness of its information. For
actual use it abundantly answers the
needs of all save those whose pursuits
require exhaustive study of certain
subjects. The combination of Una
bridged Dictionary and Cyclopedia is
a wonderful convenience. Each vol
ume, as it comes to the readers
hands, invariably renews the surprise
felt that book SO well got up can be
afforded for price so low. Whoever
wants Cyclopedia-and who does
not?-would do well to order at least
a specimen volume, which may be re-
turned if not wanted. Reduced prices
are offered to early subscribers for
complete sets, which are to consist of
80 or more volumes, the volumes be-
ing issued at intervals OF about a
month. The work is not sold by
agents or booksellers, but only by the
publisher direct, which in some meas
ure accounts for the wonderfully low
prices. John B. Alden, Publisher,
