DIES IN THE JAIL.
Mason City OfHcer Finds a Prisoner
Dead in His Cell.

Mason City Officer Finds q Prisoner
Dead in His Cell.
Mason City, Oct. 6.-Wednesday night
about II o'clock Officer Wisnom discov-
cred a man lying on the sidewalk near
the rear of Waterbury & Mickey's drug
store. He was apparently in dead
drunk condition and the officer sum-
moned a conveyance ana the man was
taken to the county Jail and put to bed
on cot. He was in totally helpless
condition when found and was unable
to speak, and as is customary in cases
of that kind, he was made as comfort
able as possible and left to sober up.
Later in the night some other prisoners
were brought in and the officer took a
look at the patient and was greatly
surprised to find that the man was
dead or at least had very little life left
in him. A physician was hastily sum-
moned. but the man was dead when he
arrived. Later it was discovered that
he was a member of the gang of grad
ers that was passing through town and
that his name was John Barrett and
lived at Carbonate, Penn.
1t is generally understood that the
young man was intoxicated when he
arrived in the city last night. DR..
Stockman made an examination of the
body this morning and found no bruises
or marks that would indicate that he
was the victim of foul play

more Shamrock money in sight than at
any previous time, but all of it was
covered With Columbia MONEY in short
order.

Hawarden. Oct. 6.-Governor Leslie
NJ. Shaw spoke in this city last night to
an audience of 1000 people Great prep
arations had been made for his recep-
tion, and lorg before the hour for the
address had arrived the streets We're
literally thronged with people. Large
delegations We're here from every town
within a radius of twenty-five miles.
The governor arrived on the p. m.
train, having addressed a large audi
ence at Sioux Rapids in the afternoon,
and was met by q large delegation, and
after supper was escorted to the big
tent, where he held the large audience
for two hours. There was fine display
Of fireworks and an electrical illumina-
ton all along Main street during the
march to the tent. 1t was by far the
most enthusiastic and successful politi-
cal gathering eyer held in western Iowa
and if it can be taken as criterion
Governor Shaw will be elected by a
larger majority than has been ac-
counted any candidate in this state for
years. His speech was decidedly vote
getter and his arguments are unan-
sWerable.

business Opportunities.

The b.. c. r. & n. railway is con-
structing a new line north and west
from Warrington, Mimi, to the west
line of the state, which will be complet-
ed within the year. The country through
which the line passes is the best in
southwestern Minnesota, is practically
all under cultivation and thickly settled
by well-to-do farmers. who have been
going fifteen and twenty miles to mar
ket. Arrangements have been made to
lay out towns at the most advantage
Gus locations for business. These towns
will need stores and shops of all kinds
and merchants will find favorable open
ings on this new line. Doctors and pro-
fessional men will also find good loca-
tons
This company is also constructing a
line from Armstrong to Baskerville, la.
There will be two new towns on this
line named Maple Hill and Irwin. and
investors will find splendid opoprtuni-
ties at either of these points.
The railway company will. as 1t has
always done, join with the business
men Of its towns to build up centers OF
trade.

CANCELS GAMES WITH DRAKE.
Iowa state College stands for Clean
College Atheletics.

Ames, Oct. s.-The athletic council of
the Iowa State College at their meeting
cancelled the game with Drake Univer-
sity TO be played Nov. H. The decision
of the council is due to brakes attitude
toward professionalism. The decision
comes after thorough investigation of
the charges that have been made by
other institutions Of the state. The
Iowa State College. while not in the
compact with Iowa City and Grinnell
for pure athletics. maintains d position
of strict adherence to the rule of clean
college athletics and will not play
teams tainted with professionalism.
The date on which the Drake game was
scheduled is at present open, although
there is a possibility Of a game with
Grinnell at Des Moines on that day.

Market Gossip.

Chicago, Oct. 6.-Lyons estimated
receipts for today are: Wheat. ll5
cars; corn, $50 cars, oats, 230 cars. Hog
estimates. $4,000 head.
The Price Current in its weekly crop
summary said: There is insufficient
moisture over considerable portion of
the wheat area. Frosts are not dam
aging to crops. New corn is largely go
ing into consumption. The winter
wheat movement continues restricted
in all sections
1t is anybody's corn market this
month. All through September it was
known that a party of New York longs
was more or less of a factor at times
even giving rise to a fear that there
might develop a corner. This month
there is apparently no bull leadership
whatever. The interests which took so
much cash corn last month are sup
posed TO have a, share of it still, but
those interests last month did good
deal of selling whenever the September
was around 50 cents and probably
shipped out some corn. There is not
now suggestion of any manipulation
The market is just as uneventful so far
as the short interest is concerned
There are no signs of any conspicuous
short line. The west is supposed to be
rather friendly TO corn.
There was a rumor yesterday that the
central traffic roads We're meditating an
other &c advance in the east-bound
grain rates. The tariff was advanced &c
Sept. is. Even with this the car search
ty keeps about as bad as it was. Pos
sibly the railroaders assume that, with
more business Offering than they can
handle, it is an opportune time to mark
up their charges again.
There seems TO be a better demand
for cash wheat, although this is likely
TO escape the attention of the Chicago
Spectator for the reason that, from
various causes, hardly any cash bust
ness is being done from this market.
The seaboard, however, has been doing
considerable export business for a fort
night, fifty-two loads, for instance.
yesterday. A local shipping house sold
100000 bushels Kansas hard wheat to go
abroad via Galveston, and another
shipper sold 5000 bushels of Duluth
wheat that was afioat OF the seaboard
export business, about 100000 bushels,
half was reported from New York and
half from out ports. A survey of yes
about every market on the list except
Chicago was doing a fair cash business
with the other side.
October wheat yesterday was still &c
discount.
