Found Dead In Bed.

The people of Decorah were shocked
yesterday afternoon to hear that Mrs.
w. w. Wheelock had been found dead
in bed at her home on West Broad
way. She had been living alone most
of the time since the death of her hus-
band, some two years ago, and of late
had been complaining of poor health.
The last seen ofeaer alive was yester-
day morning, when some groceries
were delivered to her home from one
of our grocery stores. Some of her
friends and neighbors called during
the day Monday and also yesterday to
see If they could not aid her in some
way, but were unable to obtain admit
tance to the house. Becoming worried
Sheriff Christen was called, and about
2:3O o'clock yesterday afternoon easily
effected an entrance to the rear of
the house, and on a couch in the kitch-
en-, she was lying, cold in death. A
coroner's jury was called, and pro-
nounced the cause of her death as
heart disease. Mrs. Wheelock has
been resident of Decorah for many
years, and is we'll known in this city
and vicinity. y.-Decorah Public Opinion.
The deceased was sister to J.. B.
Mitchell of New Oregon, where she,
with her husband, formerly resided.
Her given name was Minerva, and we
believe she was the the eldest of the
daughters in the family, of whom there
were four. The family came from Ver-
mont, locating in this county in 1856,
the father and mother dying in New
Oregon some years ago. OF a family
of nine we believe but three remain,
j. b. Mitchell, Mrs. Carrie Schofeld
and Mrs. Emma Brown of West Va.
The interment will be in New Oregon
cemetery this afternoon.

Some Notable Buttons.

Button collecting would seem to be
childish taste, but there is one collection
of this sort which justifies its existence.
Many years ago lady in Portland began
the collection of buttons on wager. At
the end of the year the bet was won by her
attaining a string of 900, no two Of which
were duplicates. From this beginning she
continued the collection of such as had
historical value. At the present time her
button museum contains no less than co.,
900 specimens. Among them Is large
button worn by a soldier in the Revolu-
tionary war and number that saw serv-

among the three branches Of the Confed

PRICE OF COFFEE.
LARGE CROPS AND CLOSE COMPETE
TON HAVE LOWERED THE FIGURE.

Last Cut Brought the Price Down to Nine
Cents Per Pound Net For brazilian Cof-
fse-War Between the Arbucklss and
the Sugar Trust Mainly Responsible.
Coffee was never SO cheap as at the
present time. The decline in green cof-
fee has been SO great as TO seriously
hurt many merchants carrying large
stocks in America and Europe.
Keeping step by step in touch with
this drop in the green product, the pre-
pared roasted brands have also fallen.
In fact, the decline in roasted coffee has
even exceeded that of green, not because
the roasters were anxious to give the
public chance, but on account of the
war being waged between Arbuckle
Bros, the big Brooklyn roasters, and
the Woolson Spice company, controlled
by the Sugar trust.
When this war began, about year
ago, the "Ariosa" brand, prepared by
Arbuckle Bros, was selling at Is cents
per pound. The last cut made by the
Woolson company and met 10y Arbuckle
Bros. brought the price down to cents
per pound net, with discount Of / per
cent for cash TO dealers. In the same
period of time green coffee has declined
from 90 to 61s cents per pound.
The coffee used by these competing
concerns is known as grade No. s,
though sometimes the still poorer grade
Of No. 8 is used. Agents Of w. III.
Crossman & Bro, who buy for the Sug-
ar trust, and Arbuckle Bros. are scour-
ing the world for these low grades.
Representatives of both firms are sta
| toned permanently at Santos and Rio
Janeiro who have picked up this quality
Of coffee until practically the entire sup
| ply is in the hands of the two firms.
The Sugar trust has thus far waged
q losing fight. Not that it has cut
prices below profitable point, for there
is still a liberal profit in roasted coffee
of the grades used at cents per pound.
The fight was begun in order to forcibly
persuade Arbuckle Bros. not to build
the opposition sugar refinery which the
firm had contracted for in Brooklyn.
But the refinery is still being pushed to

1000 barrels daily will more than
sweeten all the coffee the firm is placing
on the market.
The greatest sufferers are the outside
roasters of coffee, who have heretofore
obtained good prices for the medium
grades. In the rural districts and among
the poorer classes the cent coffee has
been extensively purchased to the ex.
clusion of the somewhat better grades
roasted by the outsiders. Some Of these
firms, like Mclaughlin q Co. Of Chi
cago, have been compelled to follow the
cuts in order to do business at all
Rather unwittingly the Sugar trust ha.
therefore upset all its own theories o.
business and is giving the public 1
chance.
The decline in green coffee is due al
most entirely to the enormous crop nov
being harvested in Brazil. During tn,
month of August the receipts of coffe'
at Santos, Brazil, were l,032, 900 bags
against 643, 600 bags the same montl
last year, and at Rio 632, 900 bags a
compared with 353, 600 bags the yea
previous. This makes total during
that one month of 1904, 600 bags
against 900, 900 bags in August, 1896
