BUILD BOTH BRIDGES.
New Structures For North and
South Skunk Rivers.

Mahaska county is to have two
new river bridges according to the &C
ton OF the board of supervisors Satur-
day morning. One will span North
Skunk river in Monroe township and
the other South Skunk in Madison
township. Contract for the material
for the new structure was let to the
George e. King Bridge Company of
Des Moines. 1t remains optional with
the board as to whether it will let the
King Company erect the bridges or
hire other parties. The material for
the two structures, free on board cars
in Oskaloosa, is to cost $4,000. If the
King people set the bridges up their
contract price is $4,14S. The board is
of the opinion that they can put the
bridges in place for less 4 than the
$1,000 difference, but will advise fur
Their before taking action.
The new bridges are to be first class
and modern in every particular, and
will be a great boon to the people in
the neighborhoods in which they are
located. The one across South river
will be 102 feet long and the one
across North river SO feet.
Heat For Court House.
The Board is now engaged in consul.
tation with the Oskaloosa Traction &
Light Co. relative to connecting the
Court house and Jail with the new city
heating plant. There are many adj
vantages to the new system, and in
the end it might be cheaper, but as it
would cost the county about $4,000 to
equip the two buildings for the change
the Board is not certain that it would
be justified in making the expenditure.

FAST DRIVING.
Causes a Muscatine Man to be Held

Muscatine, Dec. by the verdict
of the coroners jury at the inquest,
held over the body of Thomas Whine.
more, who was killed by being run
over by a loose horse belonging to
William Moore, that man is held re-
sponsible for Thomas M. Winnemore's
death, and may be arrested in the
course of the next few days, charged
with manslaughter. The accident
happened shortly after o'clock Mon
day afternoon, and has been the &C.
casion of much talk since that time.
Mr.. Winnemore never regained con-
seriousness after the accident and
passed away Wednesday afternoon
about o'clock.
The evidence at the inquest showed
that Moore was in the habit of driv-
ing wild horses in a reckless manner
through the streets and that on the
occasion complained of Moore plain
ly saw the danger in which Winnie
more was placed, but made no effort
to check speed and actually drove the
runaway horse which he was chasing
onto the old man.

TRADE REVIEW.
Retail Dealings Materially stimu-
lated by n Variety of In
nuenceS.

New York, Nov. 29.--R G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
weather conditions have provided
the only important developments of
the past week in the business world.
Excessive rains in some sections, no.
tably the southwest, facilitated dis
trlbution of heavy footwear, over
shoes and kindred lines, while sea-
sonably low temperature at other
points increased the movement of
winter wearing apparel. These iBlu-
ences, together with a large Thanks
giving trade in food products, slim
ulated retail dealings very material
Iy. Jobbing and wholesale trade is
FULLY maintained, and manufacturing
plants have orders far ahead, but in
many cases the coke shortage re-
tards operations. Railway officials
are making every effort to relieve the
freight congestion, especially in the
vicinity of Pittsburg, but thus far
there is little evidence of improve
ment. Inquiries for pig iron become
more urgent as the scarcity grows
more acute. Furnaces are added to
the idle list when there is full occu-
patton for every plant in the country,
but the fuel shortage is not percept-
IDLY improved. Coke commands high
premiums according to the needs of
consumers, and iron is similarly held
at an abnormal position by the in
sufficient supply.
Failures for the week numbered
213 in the United States, against 1872
last year, and 16 in Canada, compared
with rs a year ago"
Bradstreet's says: "Warm weather
has been and in some sections is the
only apparent drawback to distribu-
tive trade, but lowered temperatures
and early holiday buying have tended
to minimize this deficiency. That a
large, in fact unprecedented, holiday
demand will develop, is confidently
predicted, all sections of the country
sending this report. While weather.
dulled retail trade has affected orders
from western jobbers, wholesale trade
as whole is IN excess of a year ago,
and comfortable increases are expect
ed to be finally shown in nearly every
department of trade. General indus
try is active the country over, manu-
facturers and producers being still ur-
gently pushed to deliver on orders
booked some time ago. Some improve
ment is noted in the transportation
congestion, largely because of special
efforts made to break the blockade at
Pittsburg and further west, but the
car shortage is still a\matter of wor-
riment to the railroad men, and to
merchants and dealers whose goods
are delayed thereby. The influence of
last years crop shortages is gradually
disappearing. Lower prices for cere-
ais, provisions and finished iron and
steel give hope of better export trade,
and the possibility of cutting down
some of the unfavorable balance shown
earlier this year. Collections are in a
majority of cases still good, excep-
lions noted being the effect of mild
weather in the northwest and too
much rain in Texas.

coRNs CAUSE SUICIDE.
James Murphy Cuts His Throat With
Razor.

Cedar Rapids, Dec. because the
corns on the bottom of his feet drove
him frantic, James Murphy, a cook,
cut his throat with carving knife
Sunday morning. He severed his
wind pipe and cut into his jugular
v in, but strangely enough he lived
until this morning when he died.

carriers,

carriers.
These are the more important bills
now pending, ready to be taken up.
A number of new questions will be
introduced. The president in his an
nual message will have something to
say about tariff revision, the trusts.
Cuba and reciprocity. His recon-
mendations will include other sub
jects, but none more important.
May Control Trusts.
During the white house conferences
it has developed that the leaders are
almost unanimous in the belief that
trust legislation may be had at the
approaching session. They are con-
WINGED that it can be, provided the
attempt is made along the sugges-
tions of the attorney general, which
the president will approve, to
strengthen by amendments the pres
ent Sherman antitrust law. There
is so much opposition from the east
ern states to a revision of the tariff
that the leaders in the senate from
these states, who are in control of
the machinery, can prevent legisla-
ton at the short session, even
though the house passes a bill.
Our relations with Cuba and Cuban
reciprocity will come in for much dis
cussion at this session. The presi-
dent regrets that more progress has
not been made toward the compile
ton of a reciprocity treaty with
Cuba, but is hopeful of being able
to submit one to the senate within
month.
Statehood Bills.
Statehood for the territories of
Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico
will provoke much debate in the SEN
ate. An omnibus bill giving state
hood to the three territories passed
the house last session, and Senator
Beyeridge, with subcommittee, is
returning from the territories to
make the report to the senate, which,
by agreement reached last session,
must be presented by December 10.
Secretary Root will make an ear
nest fight this session to secure legis-
lation for the reorganization of the
army by the introduction of a gem
eral staff to supplant the command
ing general. This will provoke pro-
longed debate.
1t will thus be seen that congress
is called upon at this short session
to transact a great mass of impor-
tant business.

tons of coal was stored, caused a fire

A Busy Session.


Ordinarily the goal of congress at a
short session is to pass the regular
appropriation bills before March 4.
Seldom is any legislation of impor-
lance attempted. At the coming ses-
sion, however, every minute will be
given value by the pressure of impor-
tant' business. Debate upon the supply
bills will be restricted in order that
the previous minutes may be devoted
to other questions. Several are now
pending, having been left over from
the last session, and the president is
expected to precipitate others in his
message.
In the interstate and foreign COM
merce committee, of which Mr.. Hep
burn, of Iowa, is chairman, is bill in
which many are interested. 1t pro-
vides for the creation of new depart
ment of commerce. This bill has
passed the senate and will be consid-
cred by the house at this session, as
the committee is completing it's in
Vestigation and will soon be ready to
report it..
Currency legislation is ON the pro-
gramme. Secretary Shaw in his re-
port will point out the necessity of
some relief and a determined effort
will be made to get through some
elastic currency of asset banking bill.
The Fowler bill, which is on the house
calendar, to maintain the gold stand
q RI oil CT 10
ize rates of interest and otherwise
amend the national banking laws,
seems to occupy the best position and
upon it the forces may unite.
Illinois and Indiana and several
other states will urge the passage of a
joint resolution pending before the
house authorizing their claims grow
ing out of the civil war. Representa-
tive Caldwell, of the Springfield dis
trict, has q bill, also upon the house
calendar, intended especially to facil-
itate the payment of Illinois claims.
Pure food legislation will be urged
at the coming session, something in
this direction having been accom-
plished at the last session, but not
enough to satisfy those who wish to
guard the consumers against injurious
adulterations.
Michigan wants fish Matching sta
ton and several life-saving stations,
and bills with these objects in view
are upon the house calendar.
Further legislation to meet the stu
alton arising out of the new conditions
in the insular possessions will be de-
manded, and an anarchist bill will be
pushed.
On the Senate Calendar.
Several important measures are upon
the senate calendar, ready to be taken
up when congress meets. There is a
joint resolution authorizing the PreSi-
dent to invite Canada to join in the for
nation of an international commission
to examine and report upon the diver
SION OF the waters that are the boun-
darles Of the two countries; another
to limit the meaning of the word "con-
spiracy" and the use of restraining or
ders and injunctions" in certain cases;
another for the reorganization of the
consular service; pure food bill to
prevent adulteratioA; misbranding
and limitations of foods; bill to pro-
tect forest reserves; bill to provide
for the allotment of land in severalty
