Cedar Falls, Oct. 8.-Freparations by
the local committees are about COM
pleted for the Northeastern Iowa
Teachers Association, which meats
here on the 10th for three days. The
hotels will be unable to accommodate
more than a very small percent of the
number of teachers who will attend and
the citizens have been solicited to take
the teachers at regular rates for lodging
and breakfasts. The societies of the
different churches and the lodges have
contracted for halls and will serve dim
ners and suppers during the three days
so that the question of getting the edu-
Gators something to eat is settled. The
meetings will be held in the Normal
School buildings except in the evenings.
when the general program. which will
be public, will be held in the high
school building. For these general pro-
grams the executive committee has ar
ranged some very attractive lectures.
Two of the most noted lecturers for
these evening programs are Richard T..
Ely, LII. D.. Of John Hopkins Univer-
sity, and DIR. S. G. Srsith, of st. Paul.
The former is one of the best known
authorities of the day on socialistic
questions and the latter is pastor of the
largest church in st. Paul.
In the general program for the day
sessions such speakers as President
Bradley OF Iowa College, Hon. Henry
Sabin of Des Moines. President e. w.

lege, President Seerley Of the State

LeMars.
The banks of LeMars report very
strong demand for money now on ac-
count of the demand for cattle to feed.
1t is generally anticipated that there
will be lot of soft corn on account
of the early frost and this has made
great demand for feeding cattle. The
banks are loaning money to farmers
and feeders with which to buy feeding
cattle. One banker said few days
ago that not for two years has there
been such a demand for money. He
said he did not expect it to last any
great length of time for as soon as
feeders were supplied the demand
would probably let up. There will be
q lot of cattle fed in Plymouth county

Sioux City, Oct. 6.-Absolute and inn
penetrable misery continues to SUR
round the case Of the disappearance OF
Mrs. T. F. Burns, president of the Sioux
City Beethoven Club. The police drag
ged the river all day long yesterday, but
without results. Dynamite will be used
today.
1t is not definitely decided that Mrs.
Burns was drowned and many theories
art. advanced in explanation. One Is
that she stopped on the further bank to
gather autumn leaves and was waylaid
by tramps. Another still is that she
was Kidnapped. A third theory is that
she wandered away in state of de-.
mentia, tho this is given little credence.
Her husband is Frustrated by the un-
certainty surrounding the case. He inn
AGNES he sees the body of his wife ly-
int, cold and white in death on the bot
tom of the bank. There is no reason
to believe the case is suicide. Mrs.
Burns was always lively and cheerful,
and did not seem to have any troubles.

for working SO faithfully. 1t is not

posed to have started from defective
