Rural Delivery Needs.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE annual
report of Assistant Postmaster General
Wynne urges that in view of the sue
Ncess of the rural free delivery estab-
lishment and it's future necessities, the
recommendation for $12, $685. in esti
mates for that purpose is reasonable.
The amount is an increase of little more
than $5,0O0000 over the current fiscal
year.
The rural free delivery system, the
report says, has become a permanent
feature of the postal service and the
service has increased the postal re-
ceipts and improved conditions wher-
ever put in operation.
No deficiency, it is said, will be ere
ated by this service. 1t will be left to
congress to say whether the establish
ment of routes already laid out shall
be FASTENED and the installment of
routes in course of investigation must
be expedited. Annual appropriations
must be made for this purpose.
The extension to rural carriers of
power to receive and register lettrs has
proved so acceptable a public benefit
that it is proposed to further increase
their usefulness by adding, under prop
err regulations, an extension of the mon
ey order system to rural routes. Rural
carriers are now empowered to receipt
for money orders. 1t is intended after
the first of January next to empower
them also to pay money orders at the
residences of known patrons of routes.

Conference AS to Canal.

Washington, Nov. 11.-Secretary Hay
yesterday held conference with
Chairman Cullom of the senate COM
mittee on foreign relations, and also
with Senator Morgan, the senior of the
minority of the same committee, on
canal matters. The secretary was able
to show that substantial progress is
making toward the completion of a
treaty with the Colombian government
conveying the necessary rights for the
construction of canal across the 18TH
mus of Panama.
In fact. so we'll have the negotiations
progressed between Secretary Hay and
Senior Concha, the Colombian minister,
that it is now expected that by the end
of the present week all of the phases of
the proposition will have been disclosed
and little will remain to be done to con-
clude the convention. 1t can be stated
that the attitude of the Colombian ne
gotiators presents no insurmountable
obstacle and that treaty can be
framed acceptable to both sides.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1902-11-11

with the Colombian government. Sec
rotary Hay, upon whom falls the re-
sponsibility of negotiating a treaty
with the Central American govern
ments, is now in doubt whether or not
a document can be drawn up between
this government and Colombia which
will be satisfactory to two thirds of
the members OF the senate required to
ratify it,
The administration is not only find
ing difficulty in negotiating such a
treaty, but it also has had some trouble
in finding responsible government in
Colombia with which to negotiate.
In the meantime word comes to
Washington from a source of the high
est authority that the governments of
Costa RIGA and Nicaragua stand ready
to negotiate treaty practically at the
United States governments own terms.

MAY Be a Queen.

Brussels, Nov. lit is reported that
King Leopold, whose wife died recently,
is intending to marry an American
woman in a short time. 1t has been
known around court circles for many
months that the king had a great lik-
ing for the American women, and had
paid several of them special attention
when they were travelling in his king
dom. Considerable interest is to be
found all over the country as to who the
American woman is that he will marry,
but 1t is stated on reliable authority
that she is the divorced wife of an
American millionaire, and that her
wealth has much to do with her love
affair. The fact that the marriage Is to
be secret also excites suspicion and
curiosity.

Receipts of All Kinds Continue Enor,

Receipts OF Aii MINDS continue Enor-
nous, Forcing Prices Lower.
Chicago, Nov. Ii Cattle-Receipts
OF all kinds of live stock continue ex-
trenaely large. and pr ces are steadily
declining, buyers having things about
their own way. Cattle were largely a
dime lower this morning, and plenty of
sales show reductions of IS from last
weeks closing figures. The cattle now
being marketed consist largely of con-
signments that have been fed only a
short time, and there is a remarkable
scarcity of choice lots. No cattle have
sold so far this week above 81, where
last week sales were made as high as
$40.
Hogs -Thirty- three thousand hogs
arrived today, and with 400 carried
over last: night there was another de-
crease OF, about 10.
Sheep--Sheep and lambs are less ac-
tive than last week, with lower prices,
and 1t looks to experienced sellers as
tho the buyers are getting ready to
force a big break. Prime lambs are
scarce and trade only fair.

erage yield per acre of hay is Isl tons,
against an average yield of 1.2S in 1901
and 1900 and a ten year average of

exception of 1898, the highest ever re-
ported by the department of agricul-
ture, and each of the eleven principal

All of the ten principal tobacco
states, except Pennsylvania, report av-
erage yields per acre in excess of their
ten year averages. The quality of the
tobacco crop is fair.

raising of these fruits is of any impor-
lance, and the grape crop is slightly
below such average.

Son of Oil King Addresses Bible Class
on Success in Life.

New York, Nov. 11.-"success in
Life was the subject discussed by John
q. Rockefeller. Jr., before his Bible
class yesterday and two hundred young
men were all the more interested be-
cause the opinions they heard were
those of the pros pective richest young
man in the world.
"After all, what does fame, glory and
wealth count for in this world, if we
have not the realization that we are
doing something for our fellow mem!
he asked in the course of his talk. III
we cannot be our brothers keeper we
can at least do something to speed him
On in the struggle for life, and when
we have done this we have achieved
a far greater success than when we do
something that benefits only ourselves.
"Our golden text today is, Tt is more
blessed to give than to receive. Haven't
we all found it SO? The greatest joy
comes from what we do for others, not
what others do for us.

Iy WelI-searish Corn Crop Report
Issued by the Government Had Effect
on That Market-cattie Dull and
Lower-Hoss Slow at 10 Down.

Chicago, Nov. 11.-Wheat opened
firm today on unsettled weather, pros
poets of decrease in the movement
and steady cables. Business was small
early, aitho commission houses were
fair buyers of May around "a, but there
appeared to be no pressure to sell.

good export demand were strengthen
ing factors. December opened Is low
er to a shade higher at 71&@Tl1s to
IFS and sold UP to 72A1s. Receipts 273

the market the latter half of the ses-
sion. December held up to 724. The
close was X of a cent higher at 1875 q
72ls.
The bearish corn crop report issued
yesterday affected corn and the open
ing was slightly lower. Bad weather
for movement and steady cables had
rallying effect and the markets held
firm at trifie decline. Good cash de-
mand was steadying factor. Trade
was light. December opened Is to u
lower. at 50A to SOS, and advanced to
81 on demand from leading long. Re
ceipts were ESQ cars. thirty of contract.
Selling by locals caused December to
decline to SOS q 50A. but it advanced
again to 81 and closed as@1s of a cent
higher at SOS @51.
Oats opened steady with very little
trading The early weakness in corn
was a depressing influence. December
opened unchanged at 80. Receipts
were 3S1 cars.

DENTIST GOODMANSON
REPORTED STILL ALIVE

Several weeks ago the Argus
published the report that DIR. j. s.
.Goodmanson, the dentist who muir
dered his first.wife, who was sister
of Rev. Ioder of the Second NJ. +.
church of Moline, had been lynched
in the state of Washington for the
murder of his second wife. The
story came here from Tiskilwa.
where the Goodmansons and Ioders
formerly resided. and appeared to be
corroborated. Now comes an entire
~ different story, which is reproduc-
ed from the Bureau County prince
tom Republican,:
''Dr.J.S. Goodmanson, it appears, is
alive and well and is living at Web
ster. South Dakota. When the re-
ports came out about his reported
lynching, first published at Fender,
Neb., il seemed to he impossible to
find out the whereabouts of DIR.
Goodmanson. The report of the
lynching was first received here i'm a
letter from Nebraska by a lady near
Tiskilwa. Subsequently a second let
ter was received by another party
which seemed to fully confirm the in
formation conveyed in the first one.
After this publication kilograms were
exchanged between Illinois, Nebras-
ka and Pacific coast points with the
results that DIR. Goodmanson was
finally located at Webster. S. ID. His
location was found by the publica
ton in ST. Paul papers of telegram
from Tacoma. Wash, telling of the
rumors in circulation at that point.
DR.. Godmanson, it appears, has
changed his location frequently, and
at Webster. S. d., it is said, he has
been contemplating removing to Ok
lahoma.'
