Corn and Candy.

During the fiscal year ended July 81,
1899, the consumption Of corn for GIN
cose and its by-products amounted TO
over q, 000, 900 bushels, which is equiva-
lent to the whole yield from one million
acres, based on an average Of q bushels
Of corn to the acre. From one-third to
one-fourth Of the glucose product of this
same year went directly into the mann
facture Of candy, according TO a state
ment which is made by one Of the lead
ing authorities in the glucose trnde. The
prosperity IN the candy trade which is
directly responsible for such a big part
Of last years great consumption Of glu-
cose, and the absorption at good prices
Of q large portion of the 1899 crop Of the
corn growers Of the West, was directly
due to the general prosperity. When
the mills are closed, and the workman
cannot fiji his dinner pail with the nee
essaries Of life, candy is a luxury for
which there is little demand. That can
dy can now be eaten In the families of
workmen Is one Of the best evidences of
prosperity that there Is.

each year over the preceding one, and
this year the prospects are that: business

years. The general trade Throughout the
United States in the last four years has
increased fully 80 per cent. In some
cases il has doubled, the increase being
specially noticeable in large establish

dicator Of the moment Supply equals
demand. We cannot store our goods
away in barns and warehouses and wait
for the market to rise or the trade to
come to us. Instead we are controlled
by the demands of the hour. Take the
chocolate trade alone. Americans are
only now beginning TO awaken TO the nu-

THE Plan that Failed.

The Filipino insurgents, some time be
fore the war broke out between the
United States and Spain, got up sched
ule Of their grievances against the rule
Of the Spaniards. There were over TWEEN
ty specifications, not one Of them would
be possible under the American flag
The Filipinos who were induced to take
UP arms against the United States, at
ter the Spanish rule was broken, were
in the enjoyment of liberties unheRrd Of
in all their experience. The only thing
they complained Of was that the United
States did not turn them over TO the one
man Of their race who claimed to OWL
them. and the whole country also, with.
out a shadow Of authority from the In
habitants. The Aguinaldo plan was, at
ter he had appointed himself, to proclaim
that the people had ratified the appoint
ment and then become lord Of Thousand
islands because he had been appointed
and ratified rs the successor in despot
ism Of the departed Spaniards.

Our business has been more prosperous
in the last three years than in the entire
previous history of the company. This is
true not only Of Chicago, but elsewhere
1t is chiefly due TO two causes. Not only
has the telephone established itself as a
necessity to business and private inter
ests, but 1t is also owing to the pro-
rounced prosperity which has been gem
eral throughout the country. As i said,
the growth Of the Chicago company in
these years has been equal to the entire
growth before that time. Personally !
believe that any material change In the
present policy Of government would af-
feet al lines of business most disastrous

MYSTERIOUS FIND AT HEDRucK
Blood Stained Vest will, Knife Cuts in
Back Discovered.

Hedrick. April 27.-(special.) May
or Spicer, of this city, has in his pos
session a blood stained vest about
which he is very DESTROYS of gaining
some information. The vest was
found just north of the Milwaukee de-
pot last Tuesday morning and has
three cuts in the back as if some one
had been stabbing at the wearer's
heart. When found the vest was thor
oily saturated with blood around the
cuts, and the person who had worn it
must have bled very freely.
The vest is of cheap material, is but
little worn and is about size 3S. Two
front buttons are missing and one has
been torn out, taking piece of cloth
with it. 1t is surmised that the per-
son who did the deed grabbed his vic
tim by the front of the vest and then
attempted to stab him in the heart.
Nothing was found in the pockets ex-
cept few grains of coffee. The author
tiles kept the matter quiet until this
morning in order that efforts might be
made to learn more of the matter.

DEMOCRAT SOLD.
Geo. F. Smith Buys the Property fol-
S3.5OO-Policy OF the PAPER,

From Saturdays Daily.
George F. Smith. publisher of the
Keosauqua State Line Democrat, has
purchased the Ottumwa Democrat,
paying $4,000 for the property, and,
1T is rumored, will change the name
OF the paper to either the "Ottumwa
Record" or the 'Ottumwa Chronicle"
Publication of the paper will be sus-
pended until such time as linotype
machine can be installed and other
improvements made. Mr.. Smith said
this morning that he intended to
conduct the Keosauqua paper for the
present, but that. he had no definite
plans regarding it as yet.
In this mornings issue Messrs.
Brown announce that the sale is abso-
lutte and is without any contingent
failure of consideration. In his an
nouncement of the change in owner
ship Mr.. Smith states that he has a
high ideal as to the kind of newspa-
per demanded by the people of Ottum-
wa. and says that it must be first
class and up to date in ev-
cry respect, that the pres
ent equipment of the Democrat is in
adequate to furnish such paper with
out loss, nence us puDHcaulOn Will
be suspended until such time as the
necessary Improvements can be made,
a telegraph service arranged for, and
an adequate editorial and reportorial
force secured Referring to the policy
of the paper, Mr.. Smith says: ''It will
be democratic, standing for harmony
and good will among all democrats,
favoring policy SO broad and liberal
that all who have ever at any time,
present or past, voted the democratic
ticket may feel at home within the
party fold, and unite in an effective
effort for party success.
"But it will bear in mind that party
politics is not all of life. Most evils
are moral or social. 1t will also re-
member there is good as well as evil in
the world-in fact far more good than
evil, far more joy than sorrow, and
that it is much more pleasant and in
ltinitely more profitable to contemplate
the good than it's opposite.
'The paper will have complete
general Geographic news service and
a well written and interesting city
department., and will strive not only
to inform and interest, but to truly
lserviceable and helpful both to the
community and the individual"

Pure Copper Found.

The presumption is not strong that
copper in its natural state exists in
this region, yet d. P. Dolan while at
work on the Fred Jones farm, seven
miles south of the city on the Blakes-
burg road, yesterday found a piece of
pure copper weighing fourteen pounds.
The metal was embedded in the fork of
fallen tree and had the appearance
of greau age. 1t is thought that per-
haps some of the Lake Superior Indi-
ans while passing thru this section ma
ny years ago probably left it, the pre-
sumption being that it was originally
an AK of rude Indian make. The
piece of copper is about fourteen inches
in length and about eight inches in
width and for the metal alone is worth
probably S4. Mr.. Dolan said today THAI
so far as he knew no copper ore had
ever been found in that part of the
county before altho the land in that
vicinity is very rough, No reason ex-
lists for the belief that the copper was
in it's virgin state when found.
