No Known Cause as to the Death of Mr..
II. n. Sader.
The real cause OF the death of Mr..
Henry II. Sadler will probably never
be known. The verdict of the Coroner
jury was to the effect that he came to
his death from an unknown cause.
Coroner Boyd, of Port Walthall. as
sisted by DR.. John F. Ragland, held the
inquest. and from the testimony it was
learned that when Sadler left his home
on last Tuesday a week ago that he was
sick, and that he had s106 and a regis
tered letter addressed to Mrs. D. c..
Myers. in his pockets. Both the currency
and letter was found. The facts Of his
former wandering and irresponsible acts
were also brought out.
There were no signs Of self-destruction
or anything to prove that the man was
murdered. The ground for some distance
around was searched, and was found 10
be free of any instrument by which the
man could have killed himself. or By
which he could have been murdered.
The prevailing impression Is that he be-
came suddenly i'll and died before as
sistance could be summoned.

tive Association, is S50oO0,00O.
The stock is being placed. as far as pos

Mr.. White, for many years a practical
farmer at Red Oak, Iowa, is the founder
of the trust. He says that it will unite
the farmers as nothing has ever done be-
fore. He admits that his palm contem-
plates control of the production. but says
that it will certainly bring the farmer
higher prices for his crops. He says:
The farmer will be benefited in two
ways. In the first place, we shall control
the output. The entire crop will not be
thrown on the market at once We shall
hold it in reserve whenever prices are
such that it cannot be probably sold. 1t

the profits will go back to them. Within

agricultural output of the United States
There is even prospect that the enter
prise will assume an International char
