ON TO KANSAS CITY.
Muchakinock Branch of North
western to be Extended.

The Des Moines Leader this morn
ing says: "The Northwestern is ex-
banding and recent movements very
pertinently suggest the company in.
tends building line to Kansas City.
Within the past week the line from
Muchakinock has been completed to
Weller, small station on the Wa
bash and Burlington, midway between
Lovilla and Haggerty on the Abba
branch of the Burlington. A survey
has been completed to Zero, coal
mining hamlet on the Burlington's
main line, between Melrose and Rus
sell, and the engineers are in the
deld at this time prospecting for a
line from Zero southwest to Corydon,
in Wayne county, where it inter-
sects the Keokuk & Western line.
Thence the survey proceeds to Spring
Valley, in the southeastern corner of
Decatur county, where it passes into
Missouri. This line is continuation
of that which extends south from the
main line at Belle Plain, and which
is obviously intended to become the
direct route to Kansas City"

REVIEW OF TRADE.
situation In Many Lines Of business
as II Appears to Dun and
Brndstreet.

New York, Nov 10.-Bradstreet's says:
"Hopefulness as to Improvement In fall
demand, now that the election Is over and
cold weather has arrived is reported in all
sections, and nowhere is the feeling Of con-
fidence so marked as In the south. Despite
the recent decline in cotton the feeling in
that section is notably cheerful. In the
west dry goods, clothing, shoes and hard
ware are moving better. In the east leather,
Shoes wool, tobacco and coal are firm
and the outlook for business is regarded
as favorable On the Pacific coast export
trade with our new possessions and with
Asia has been good. California reports the
large area planted in grain helped by re-
cent rains. 1t is from that longtime barom-
eter of trade the iron business, that rela-
lively the best reports as to the demand
and prices come. While considerable vol
ume of business was undoubtedly placed,
Just previous to election, the quantity OF
sales reported since has been very salts
factory. Chicago reports the last week
sales of pig at 1900 tons, the largest Oh
any week this year. A similar report
comes from Birmingham, where 1900 tons
are reported placed within the past ten
days, while Pittsburgh reports the sales
of finished material the heaviest since last
spring. A similar report as to sales or pig
iron comes from Cincinnati. The iron sales
have been largely at an advance of SO
to rs cents per ton, while bars, plates and
structural material have either been ad-
vanced or the makers are now holding
meetings to agree upon increases. A large
part of the business in cruder forms Is re-
ported to have been on export account"
r. G. Dun & Co., in their Weekly Review
of Trade, say: Iron markets are in an
encouraging condition. No violent specu-
lation is threatened, but in numerous In
stances better demand has caused small
advances. The most notable changes thus
far is in pig iron, which is eagerly sought
at all markets, larger contracts being
placed at rs to so cents ton above the bot
tom point recently quoted, In partially
manufactured forms, such as bars, plates
and beams, improvement is definite, while
large building operations will keep the
structural market moving freely. More
ships are planned and bridges require
quantities of material Railroads are buy
ing most products freely. Orders for ex-
port are numerous, and foreign makers
have been compelled to reduce prices for
steel rails.

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

with LOCAL APPLICATIONS, as they
cannot reach the seat of the disease. Ca
tarrh is a blood or constitutional disease,
and in order to cure it you must take in
ternal remedies. Halls Catarrh Cure is
taken internally, and acts directly on the
blood and mucuous surfaces. Halls Ca
tarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. 1t
was prescribed by one of the best physi-
clans in this country for years, and is a
regular prescription. 1t is composed of
the best tones known, combined with the
best blood purifiers, acting directly on

A Handsome Hedge

The cold weather has played sad
havoc with W. r. Lacey's flower
garden and his handsome saliva
hedge that attracted so much atten-
ton. The hedge was a thing of
beauty these late fall days. The dark
green ofthe foliage was almost hid
den beneath the spikes of deep scar
let blossoms. The hedge bordered
the drive through the Lacey prem
ises and extended between First and
Second avenues. The great profu-
sion of the flowers and the beauty of
the thing, attracted general atten-
ton.
The Lacey place has been a bower
of beauty all summer. There have
been the choicest of plants in the
yard and the beauty of the place
could not fail to attract attention.

A Good Estimate

A month or six weeks ago, after
Mr.. E. III. Gibbs had made trip to
the east, he sat in his Office in this
city and reasoned out the political
situation as it existed and he thought
he could count 294 electoral votes for
Mckinley and 152, possibly 16O votes
for Bryan. He marked his predic-
tons on a chart and the results of
Tuesday show how very close the
gentleman came to the correct num-
GER. Mr.. Gibbs made careful study
of the conditions existing at that
time and he says he could not see
how the result could be other than
he marked it.

BOOKER WASHINGTON ON NE
GRO SUFFRAGE.

Booker Washington, the leading negro
in America, favors an educational or
property qualification to guard the ballot
against ignorant negro voters; provided
that a similar safeguard be applied
against ignorant white voters. Booker
Washington is negro, very intelligent
and progressive, to be sure, but yet ne
gro. Being a negro, he naturally believes
that an Ignorant negro is as good as an
ignorant white man" But right here he
is egregiously mistaken. Ignorant
white men," so-called. have been voting
in North Carolina for more than sixty
years, and have shown themselves TO be
worthy Of the ballot. They have shown
more capacity for self-goverment and
better knowledge of political affairs than
even the best educated negroes, much
less the great dead mass of black ignor
ance, stupidity and compatibility that i
periodically driven to the polls and voted
like sheep by wicked and unscrupulous
politicians. The Ignorant negro has
been voting for thirty years and has
shown 10 more capacity for selfgovern-
ment nor ability to comprehend the real
principles of government than monkey
or billy-Goat.
We are not in the least surprised
that Booker Washington, himself a negro,
~should think a vicious, ignorant, degraded
negro as good a voter as a poor illiterate
white man. But what shall we think of
Pritchard and Butler for holding such
opinions? They threaten to disfranchiSe
the poor and illiterate whites. if the most
ignorant, degraded, vicious negroes are
DISTINGUISHED. And yet they claim to be
tie friend of the poor white!! No wonder
they think him rs sorry as the ursro".
