gives the price in England at SIT. Evil
IDENTIFY Mr.. Haynes did not run across
the machine that the democrats have
an eye on.
The democratic campaign book
quotes the Remington typewriter as
selling in England for $55.
In the catalogue sent us by Mr..
Haynes the price in England is given
as follows:
Latest improved Remington, Ameri-
can make furnished at govern
ment contract to all government
With portable cover and look. $40
If these machines are selling over
there for $50 the democratic campaign
managers should give the British gov
eminent a tip, as it is paying just
twice too much for it's typewriters.
1t will be noticed in the letter of
Mr.. Haynes that he found only one
commodity that is selling cheaper over
there than here and that is sugar.
A few weeks ago we published let
ter from a gentleman residing in Aus
tralia in which prices of American
harvesters and sewing machines were
given. The democrats claimed that
it was not to be expected that these
things were selling cheaper in that
country because of the long distance
from us and the consequent freight
charges, but, they said, try England
once, and so we did with even great
ef demonstration in favor of our pro-
position that American goods are not
selling cheaper in foreign countries
than in this.
The democratic papers have been
publishing a long comparative price
list, sent out by the democratic ma
tional congressional committee, in
which it has been made to appear that
all American made goods are selling
much cheaper in foreign countries
than here at home. Mr. Haynes states
that he has found nothing OF the kind
and we are willing to take the word
of this reliable Poweshiek county
farmer in preference to the statements
sent out by inscriptions campaign
managers.

IOWA CENTRAL WORK.
The New Depot at New Sharon is Well
Under Way.

New Sharon Star: Work on the
Central improvements here proceeds
slowly, the result of much rain and
more mud. The steam shovel has been
idle more than week. awaiting OPP
portunity to return TO the north end
of the yard, to renew operations there.
Track is being laid in the cut made
to the east of the main line, and when
this is completed, all trains will be
operated there, and the old bed will
be scooped out and carried away.
The bridge at Market street has
been made into miniature draw af-
fair, and man will turn a crank and
lift the floor of the bridge into an up
right position to enable trains to pass,
when 1t will be at once lowered again
for the crossing of teams. 1t is a de-
cidedly cheap affair, but is intended
only for temporary purposes.
Work on the new depot has begun.
Clarence Grub is in charge of the
job, and he has part of the foundation
and the excavations for the heating
plant prepared, but the heavy rains
OF Saturday night and sunday causeu
the water to pour in and the dirt has
caved in badly. A considerable guam
tity of cement, lumber, frames, etc,
has arrived, and temporary quarters
have been erected to protect it from
the weather. Thus work moves slow
ly forward at a great expense to the
company. Seemingly some mighty
poor calculating has been done or
things would not get so ont of joint
occasionally. The steam shovel is
idle, has been for a week and may be
for days yet, and yet not day should
be permitted to pass without things
being pushed vigorously forward
However, it's none OF our business,
and as the Central folks pay the bill,
they can run things to suit them.

COAL ADVANCES.
Prices Jump Up From $500 to $1.25
Per Ton.


MarshaIltown, Oct. 20.AThe price
of soft coal N this section is going
skyward. Within the past few weeks
it has jumped up from S1.00 to SIPS
per ton. The shortage of the anthra-
cite coal is principally the cause With
no hard coal in the eastern markets
all the product of the eastern soft coal
mines has been snapped up by eastern
consumers, where heretofore large
quantities of this output have been
used in the west. With no eastern
soft coal being put on the market there
has been a scarcity produced, for the
output of the western mines is not
equal to the demanu.
On September 10 prices were adj
yanced on AL grades of Iowa soft coal
25 cents a ton. October / saw an
other advance Of 80 cents made by the
operators, and the local dealers have
received notice that on Monday, Octo-
per 90, a still further advance Of an
other half dollar will be put on. 1t is
expected that with the first cold snap
another rise will be made at the
mines Illinois operators have adj
vanced the price of their output 81
since October l and $3.50 since the
first of September.
Last winter coal that could be
bought by retailers at the mines from
$l.75 to $500, now costs from $500 to
$3.25. The cheapest grade of coal
that can be bought in the state by the
retailer is $2.25. Illinois Goals that
were worth to the retailer at the mines
$1.75 last year, are now slated at $3.50
This means to the consumer that the
soft coal that they paid $500 to $3.50
ton for last winter, they VIII have
to pay $3.50 to $500 per ton this sea
son These prices referred to are the
cost to the retailer at the mines and
he stands the freight which, from
Iowa mines, runs from rs cents to
over s100, and from Illinois mines
from $3.50 to $500.

Iowa Central Improvements Will
be Pushed Along.

Iowa Central officials have come to
the conclusion that it will be impos-
sible to complete the heavy work of
grade revision on what is known as
School House HILL" lying between
G. & M Junction and Searsboro,
where the line is being cl4angeG in or-
der to reduce The heavy grade ard cav
out number of curves. Additional
men have been placed on the work
and the Walsh Construction Company,
which has the contract, will work UNI
til the middle of December in order to
get the work as far along as is pos
sible,
While the work on school House
Hill" was realized early in the season
to be extremely heavy it was figured
that it could be completed by fall, 1t
could have been, too, had not the
weather conditions been continually
adverse to railroad building and all
outside work No steel will be laid at
all this fall, but it is thought that the
contractors will be able to get far
enough along so that it can be com
menced early in the summer or inn
mediately following the usual wet sea
son in the spring.
Fifty Italian laborers were sent out
by the Walsh company, which already
has its own steam shovel, dump cars
and locomotive on the work, Mr.
Walsh thinks that his men will be able
to work at least till Dec. 10.
Fair Shape for New Service.
The engineering and road depart
ments have been informed that it is
expected OF them to have the line in
as good a shape as possible for the
| Inauguration of the new through pas
senger service on Nov. 2. The road
is rapidly being placed in better con-
| dition, although there are few bad
spots, noticeably at New Sharon,
Lacey and South Skunk. Continual
polstering has not had much effect as
| yet, for as soon as the track was
shaped up level with the other rains
would fall and the old conditions would
again prevail. The character of the
soil at the places where the bad por
| lions are located is very much against
the road department being able to ac
complish t he desired results. These
three places will be impediments tt
fast speed for some little time, ant
the road will probably be rough in
these spots even after the ground
freezes.
Bridge Material Arriving.
Chief Engineer Kelley has advised
Division Engineer Wight that the new
bridge material has begun to arrive
on the line and the first might be ex
Ipected any day. The first span to ar
rive will be that for the Superior
Street viaduct, Mason City, which
will have to be renewed on account
of the heavy engines. Eleven new
spans in all have been contracted for
and they are expected to arrive at in

CATTLE DYING.

Waterloo, Oct 1S.-The cattle on
the Joe McManus place in Eagle town
ship have been attacked with dread
ed disease which experienced veterin-
arians pronounce to be the blackleg,
one of the most dreaded of cattle dis
eases. The reason for the breaking
out Of the epidemic is believed to be
the rainy season and the consequent
luxurious growth of vegetation.

OBITUARY.
Aaron Vergil Smith, only child of
John and Ollie l.. Smith, was born
March s, 1901; died October 8, 1902,
after an illness of only few days.
Little Vergil, as he was called, was a
bright, loving child remarkably large
and strong for his age He was very
healthy with the exception of a slight
asthmatic affection, with which he
had been slightly troubled since birth,
but never had a day of real sickness
until he took the whooping cough over
two weeks ago. He was not thought
to be in dangerous condition in the
least until early Wednesday morning
when he seemed worse, and medical
aid was summoned. All that medical
aid and loving care and nursing
could do was done to save the little
one, but God saw fit to take him to
Himself, and on Thursday at half past
ten his spirit departed for the other
land, the cause of his death being a
complication OF whooping cough and
capillary bronchitis. His remains
were laid to rest in the Peoria ceme-
terry Friday afternoon, Rev. Perdew,
of New Sharon, officiating.
