PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION,

The rapidly increasing volume of travel to the Pan-American exposition, though heightened by the glowing re- ports of returned tourists, that the exposition is the highest exemplifica- tion of art and utility that the world has ever seen, is largely augmented by the exceptional facilities offered by the several transportati tion lines, both as to train service, diverse and variable route tickets, as we'll as StOp-OverS at a large number of scenic points. For those who prefer to make a weeks trip, travelling by daylight,' 'eight-day tickets are provided, at extremely low rates, while those who desire a longer limit, and to use parlor and sleeping cars enrOute, can secure tifteen-day ticket. Then, too, holders of rail tickets, reading New York and AL bany, have the option of use of the palatial steamers of the Hudson River Day or Peoples (Night) line, in either direction. Arrangements have been made so that the tickets on either form can be exchanged at Buffalo for return via any direct line to New
 York, while stop-over of three days may be made at the latter city, on the fifteen day form. Full information can be obtained on application to the local agents of the New York, New
 Haven and Hartford railroad, or by
 mail to c. T. Hemstead, general pas senger agent, New Haven.

Don't be satisfied with temporary
 relief from indigestion. Kodol Dys- pepsia Cure permanently and complete ly removes this complaint. It relieves permanently because it allows the tired stomach perfect rest. Dieting won't rest the stomach. Nature re- ceives supplies from the food we eat. The sensible way to help the stomach is to use Kodol Dyspepsia Cure, which digests what you eat and can't help but do you good. R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; s. c. Bull & Co.,, Sandy Hook; A. B.

FOUND GUILTY.
Jury Convicts Barker of Shooting
Rev. KeIIar with Intent
to XIII.

New York, June 22.--The jury be-
fore which Thomas G. Barker, of Ar
hngton, N. j., was tried for shooting
with intent to kill Rev. John Keller, of
the same town, took one ballot Friday
afternoon and returned with a verdict
of guilty. Under the charge of the
court they could do little else. The
jurors were told they must set aside
all else and decide only if Barker with
intent fired at Keller. That was the
law and they must obey it. Notice of
appeal was given by Barker's counsel.
Barker finds himself once more an in
mate of the county Jail. He must re-
main there until $4,000 bail is fur
nished. Before him stands a possible
seven years imprisonment and fine
Of as much as 81, 900. Mrs. Barker was
not in the courtroom to hear the YER
dict. She was in another part of the
courthouse, and when told of the ver-
dict sobbed bitterly. Mr.. Keller was
also absent and showed no emotion
when told of the verdict.
Barker had expected an acquittal. He
based his hopes upon the strong plea
of his counsel when he dwelt upon the
unwritten law that man has a right
to kill when the sanctity of his home
is assailed. Whatever the effect of
this line of pleading upon the jury, it
was swept away by the cold charge of
the court that 1.-The story of the alleged
outrage, or the outrage itself, if true,
was no justification of the defendants
assault" The court explained he had
admitted evidence that Barker had
been told of an alleged assault, not be-
cause it had anything to do with the
case, but because it was for the jury
to determine if the story had anything
to do with making the defendant Grim
inally irresponsible. If they believed
the defendant was sane at the time of
the shooting they must convict. The
jury's only ballot was unanimous for
guilty and a unit for the highest decree
charged.

FATAL EXPLOSION.
Two Men Killed and Seven Injured
Near KaIRma, Wnsh.-VIctims
Horribly MangIed.

Kalama, Wash, June pa prema-
ture explosion occurred Friday at
rock cut half mile south of Kalama,
on the new Washington g. Oregon rail-
road, killing two men and injuring
seven others. The dead are: Thomas
Graham and Huge Jameson, both of
Portland, Ore. From survivors it is
learned that Thomas Graham and
Hugh Jameson were loading 12-foot
drill hole with No. 2 giant powder and
had put in about 100 sticks. 1t is sup
posed that they had begun tamping
the powder with a crowbar when the
explosion occurred. Jameson's head
was blown off and Graham was blown
almost into jelly. "scotty" Heeney
was blown up on top of the cut, dis
lance of is feet. His injuries are fa-
tai, though he is still alive. His chin
was blown off, skull fractured, arms
and legs broken and holes blown

CUBANs ARE sATIsF led.
Acceptance of Plat Amendment
Causes General Good Feeling
Throughout Island.

Washington, June 22.-Secretary
Root has received a report from Gov.
Gen. Wood concerning affairs in Cuba,
in which the governor general says
that the action of the constitutional
convention in accepting the Platt
amendment as passed by congress is
received with general satisfaction
throughout the island. The great diff
ficulty which is now contended with
in Cuba is that relating to CONNER
cial affairs, and the necessity of bet
ter markets for Cuban products with
out the tariff restrictions in the Unit
ed States. Nothing can be done, how
ever, until the Cuban government is
formed, when a reciprocity arrange
ment may be made, but this will re-
quire ratification by the senate.
An order of Gen. Wood relating to
debts and mortgages, it is under
stood, will tide over the difficulties
which were feared a short time ago.

WooDMEN MEMORIAL
Graves of Departed Brethren Decorate
ed with Flowers

The Woodmen held their annual
memorial services in honor of the de-
parted members of this order Sum
day afternoon. They met at their
hall on LIST Ave. east and marched
from there to the Congregational
church, where Rev. Kaye made q
short but appropriate address. After
the services were over the lodge
formed for the march to the ceme-
terry. James A. Brown, the chief
marshal, headed the procession on
horseback, followed by the Iowa
Brigade Band. Behind the band
came the working team of the lodge
in uniform, and these were followed
by the other members in carriages
and on foot.
Delegations had been expected
from New Sharon, Rose Hill and
Beacon, but owing to the extreme
heat these members did not arrive.
A few came from Eddyville, but
these were not to be compared to
the delegation that had been expect
ed. AS it was, the parade was quite
long one, and there were over 100
Woodmen in line besides a large
number of visitors and sightseers.
The regular ritual services were held
at the cemetery, John L. Martin act
ing as master of ceremonies and L.
H. Needham performing the ". O..
work of the order. After few num-
beers by the band the graves OF Allen
Boyles, H. A. Gum and Brother Oar
son, of New Sharon, were decorated,
These are the only members OF the
order who are buried in this city,
although five other brothers lie in
different parts of the state. The re-
mains of Will Loot are at Davenport,
those of DR.. Stabbler at Pella, Frank
Ogburn is buried at Union Mills,
Horace Sanders at LIE Grand and L.
W. Kinney at Richlaud.
The services we're everything that
could be desired, and, with the ex-
ception of the intense heat, the day
could not have been better suited to
the occasion. There was a large
crowd at the grounds and had the
weather been cooler the people could
scarcely have been accommodated.

REPORTS ARE CHEERING.
Leading Commercial Agencies Tell
of Increased Improvement in
the Business Situation.

New York, June 22.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade says: "Increas-
Ing distribution of merchandise, particu-
larly in the territory beyond the Ohio river,
Including the far northwest, Is a feature
of the general business situation, and tells
Of widespread prosperity and confidence.
The railroads are carrying more goods that
may be classed as luxuries than before,
and in spite of Wall streets slightly higher
money market, there Is no fear on this
score in any line of legitimate trade. Crop
news continues good, and there is less
trouble from disagreements with labor.
Less interruption through labor contro-
versies at machine shops makes the iron
and steel industry more fully employed
than in recent weeks, and for another week
there Is assurance OF vigorous activity at
mills and furnaces. In many instances
promised deliveries cannot be made before
July /, and urgent business that is now
offered cannot be undertaken. 1t Is also
noticed that much foreign business Is
available, but manufacturers refuse to
make bids. On the other hand, it is stated
that quiet conditions will soon be the rule,
and fires will go out for the customary
summer overhauling. This may be the
case at few plants, although the require
ments of railroads and other known needs
are such as to render any general suspen-
sion very improbable.
FAILURES LOT the week numbered lJo
in the United States, against 179 last year,
and IA in Canada, against Is last year"
Bradstreet's says THE situation is one
of sustained strength in some lines, and
of further improvement in others. The
crop situation, of course, remains the main
subject of interest, and this on the whole is
a good one, although too much rain in the
South Atlantic states and too little In Tex
as, with the lack of warm weather for
corn in the northwest, have constituted ex-
ceptions to otherwise favorable advices.
Perhaps the most significant feature noted
for some time past Is that presented this
week in regard to the prices Of a number
of leading commodities. Cotton goods,
notably print cloths, bleached goods and
a number of standard products have been
advanced this week, and an increase in the
price of raw material is as much due to the
better trade advices at home and abroad
as to crop damage reports from the south.
Hides and leather. long threatening an adj
vance, have at last succeeded in this re-
spect, and in addition, corn and oats among
the cereals, lard among hog products,
cheese among dairy products, and coffee
and tin, are all higher on the week. the
only important reduction being in wheat,
due mainly to the liquidation of the July
option as much as to continued good crop
adivices. European advices favor the idea
that the continent of Europe will be
heavy buyer the coming cereal year"
