Much Interest Felt,

The facts given to the press by John
Fields of Philadelphia relative to mismar.
agement of the affairs of the New York book
concern have precipitated sensation among
the members of the conference. The matter
was the principal subject of discussion las,
evening and knots of delegates congregate1
in tho corridors Of tho hotels
and expressed the opinion tnal
Mr.. Fields was all right even
If he failed to carry his point at yestcruay's
session. MIR. Field said last night that he
was confident that now that tho matter
was understood he would have the supper,
of nine-tenths of tho delegates.
"B!shop Bowman sat down on me hard
Yesterday said he "but am sure that my
action was just. 1t was only right that this
matter should be investigated before the
agents were elected. The report OF the
agents will be submitted some time during
the session. and perhaps l will get chance
to say something then.n

BUSINESS CIRCLES.
Trade Good in Groceries, Dry
Goods and Shoes.
The Grocery Business, However, Seems
to Be Leading ANY Other Line
Good Prospects.

A LEAF CHRONICLE reporter mace
a tour of the principal business houses
about noon to-day with view to
ascertain the amount of trade going
on. Trade is reported good in all
lines kept clothing Che clothing
merchants complain that the people
are not buying as freely as they had
anticipated, but the trade is fair. The
dry goods men are having all the
trade they can sell. In fact M my Of
the houses have increased their ser
vice materially in the last few days,
and still they cannot wait on all the
customers that come in. The people
are buying staple goods in the main,
which goes to show that the Christ
mas trade, proper, has not yet fully
opened up. The merchants, however,
did not expect this trade until next
week. The shoe trade IS reported good.
The cold, damp weather has been a
boon to the shoe dealers, because a
man cannot wear his last summer
foot gear now and keep his feet dry
and warm. Farmers are shOeing
their families for the winter, and it is
not an uncommon thing for mer-
chant to sell one customer fifty dol
lars worth of shoes. 1t takes money
to shoe large family comfortably
for the winter, and when a farmer
buys for his family and tor his crop
pers also it runs his bill up pretty
high.
In the grocery trade, however, is
where the big sales are being made
to day. More people are laying in
their Christmas supply of groceries
than one would think. All the gro.
GERS are doing big business to day,
and many clerk went without his
dinner. This trade extends into the
confectionery business also, though
their big trade will come next week.
Summing it up, the Christmas trade
is as heavy as the LEAF CHRONICLE
has anticipated, aud we believe it is
the heaviest that has prevailed for
several years. There is more big
money in circulation than usual, and
change is at a premium. This is a
pointer in the right direction. When
people have big money merchnts are
short on change.

OF An Attempted Outrage Near Guthrie
Last Night-A Prominent Lady
In Peril.

The LEAF. CHRONICLE is in possess
sion Of Information to the effect that
an attempt was made TO rape the
person of Mrs. G G. Covington,
who lives about two miles
from Guthrie, last night about 8
O'Clock. 1t was impossible'to ascer-
tain the particulars at the time of 60
ing to press, as investigation was the n
under way, and it was desired to keep
the matter as quiet as possible. 1t
was learned, however, that the at.
tempt was unsuccessful.
Mr.. Covington was absent from
home at the time, being at his mill
one half mile distant. Two colored
servants, it is learned, were in the
h Juse at the time with Mrs. Coving-
ton.
A telephone message TO the LEAF
CHRONICLE, at three O'Clock, stated
that an investigation party
had been organized and that
it was proceeding quietly to
get at the bottom of the matter, and
that further developments might be
looked for. There is considerable
suppressed excitement over the mat
ter.
