New York Dec. 2S.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Up to the last hour on Christmas eve
the eager buying continued, while
many orders will not be filed before
the years end because Of the avalanche
of business offered. Preparations were
made for unusual activity, but in many
cases stocks and facilities proved ut
terly inadequate. Holiday mail was
10 per cent heavier than last years,
which gives some measure Of the ex'
pansion.
Distribution of Christmas gifts among
the employees Of large firms and cor
porations was on the same scale, often
the increase over last year amounting
to 100 per cent, while the profit shar-
ing at the end Of the year will reach
unprecedented figures. 1t is noticed
that southern trade shows less salts
factory gains over last year than at
other sections, which is not surprising,
as the principal product Of the south
has averaged from SO to $40 bale less
than year ago, while the quantity
thus far marketed shows no common.
surate increase.
Following closely upon the Interrupt
ton by floods and storms last week,
transporting and manufacturing facil.
tiles were further handicapped by nu.
merous accidents. Iron furnaces and
steel mills were tied up, and the move
ment of coke was hampered. This re.
suited in such insufficient supplies Of
fuel that many stacks were banked al
n time when full activity was especial
ly desired. The situation as to coke il
more critical than at any previous
time this season. AS high as $3.50 per
ton was offered for prompt delivery
without securing supplies.
Notwithstanding the high level of
quotations as compared with earlier
years, wheat exports for the week
from all ports of the United States, in
Guiding flour, amounted to 3,540,972
bushels compared with 2,756,O14 bush
els year ago and 2,417,O1S bushels
two years ago. Interior receipts were
light.
Failures for the week numbered $50
in the United States against 237 last
year and % in Canada against Is last
year

CAPT. ED BEESON DEAD
Philippine War veteron Dies
This Morning as Result Of
Long Illness.
Served as Captain in Thirty.
ninth United States Infan.
try.-Funeral Friday.

Captain Edward G. Beeson died at
the residence of his father, Quarters
master B. A. Beeson. of the Soldiers
Home, this morning at 1898 o. clock Of a
complication Of dysentry and malaria
acquired in the Philippines during the
service OF his country. He had suffered
with the disease for months and hopes
We're entertained of his recovery until
within the last few days but the hot
weather affected constitution already
weakened to the point OF breaking and
his death followed as result. Capt.
Beeson was an Iowa product. He was
born at Liscomb December "a. 1862 the
year the Iowa Central railroad was built
into Marshalltown. He learned the
printers trade and worked for some
time in the office Of the Marshall Print
ing Company. In 1892 he was graduated
from the medical department of Drake
University, Des Moines, and at once
took up practice at Liscomb. In 1893
he was married to Miss Mabel Read,
daughter of Richard Read, then of this
city, and in 1896 removed to California
returning in 1898 to go into the military
service at the breaking out of the Span
ish-American war. He enlisted as pri-
vate in Company F. of the Forty-ninth
regiment at Upton. He was afterward
promoted to hospital steward and later
to first lieutenant and assistant sur
geon. He went to Cuba with the regi-
ment and returned and was mus
tered out at Savannah, Ca, with
his company. Upon leaving the army he
began practice again, this time at
Union. When the call for ten addition
al regiments issued he offered his serv-
ices and was commissioned as first lieu
tenant and assistant surgeon of the
Thirty-ninth u. S. v. Afterward he was
promoted to captaincy. He served in
the Philippines in southern Luzon until
September, 1900, when he was taken i'll
and in December of tina, year was inval-
ided to the States. He came home
March 26th of the present year and has
not since left the house. His death came
painlessly this morning at 1928
Burial will be tomorrow at o'clock
from the house. Company H will fur
nish the pail bearers. the Soldiers Home
band will escort the remains to the en-
trance to the Home. and the bugler will
accompany the remains and sound taps
above their last resting place. The serv-
ices will be conducted by Rev. w. H.
Scott, of the Christian church.

AS TO FURTHER ACTION.


AS to what further action will be TAX
en- in Mr.. Kruskopfs case the facts are
as yet unknown. The United States FL
deity and Guaranty Company, of Balti-
more, is on Mr.. Kruskopf's bonds and
Mr.. saint can look to that company for
his remuneration. The bond company
will then probably take action as is us
ual in such cases. If Mr.. Kruskopf had
not left the city and had furnished the
amount of the shortage, as he might
have done the bond company would
have been satisfied and the government,
being none the loser, would not have
prosecuted, so Mr.. Ketcham says.
Mr.. Kruskopf has been in the Mar.
shalltown postoffice something like fif-
teen years, entering the service under
ex-Postmaster w. T. Bailey. during
President Cleveland's first administra-
ton. He was retained by ex-Possmas-
ter s. c. Mcfarland. also by Ex-Post-
master II. L. Getz, who seven years ago,
made him deputy postmaster, and also
by the present incumbent, Postmaster
John O. Saint.
Whatever shortage Mr.. Kruskopf may
be responsible for 1t is not thought by
any one that wilful populations are ac-
countable. Lack of foresight or mo-
mentarily carelessness, caused perhaps
by everything his salary, are given the
most credence generally.

PAST few years she has been at home but
little. MIR. Pearson was formerly resi-
dent of Marshalltown and about seven
years ago was secretary of the Y. N. C..
A. of this city. He is stu engaged in
the work and is at present physical di-
rector of the association at Covlns-
ten, Ky.
