The announcement occasioned great
surprise In social and financial circles.
No Interference by Miss wood.
Miss Mae C. Wood, to whom had
been attributed the purpose Of insti
tuting a suit for breach of promise Of
marriage against Senator T. C. Plat
on the eve Of his marriage, has ex.
pressed herself in terms of Indignation
regarding the published rumors and
said she was not interested in any per,
sons matrimonial affairs. The only
ones who are apt TO get into trouble
she added, are those who are at the
bottom Of these silly rumors.
When asked if she knew Senator
Platt she said:
"Of course know him l have
known him for several wears. He has
always been friendly to me, and I es.
TEEN him highly. I regret the publ.
cation of these ridiculous stories as
very unfortunate and distressing

Hunter did not take him so kindly,
and instead of making him principal
of the prison school, gave him job
as principal of one section of the
stone shed, and he pounded rock for
six months.
AIarson cut wide swath in Musca-
tine. He had them all hypnotized with
his promises of a big factory. He
was coming there himself to live, and
was looking for something fine in the
way of a residence. He was especially
attracted by the Graham property on
Fifth street and by the ST. John prop
erty on Third. On one Of these he eX-
pectcd to erect a $4,000 residence.
The plans were all completed, he told
several, and all that remained undone
was the formal transfer.
He further had under consideration
the erection of five other residences
for other officers of the Imperial com
pany. They were to cost something
like $4,000 and were to be modern in
every particular. Another work. that
was to have been started soon was
the erection of 20 cottages for the
same number of employees of the fac
tory.
Elegant Office Closed.
Today the Offices of the Imperial
company are closed. The groups of
young men who yesterday fingered at
the portals saying nice and unnice
things about Mr.. Myers are there no
more. The door of the main entrance
is locked. Within. the luXuriantly fur
nished walls and floors, which yester-
day bespoke multitudinous millions
which were on the way from the east,
are now disarranged. The half-fnish-
ed dictation of the new stenographer
is almost covered up with JOB want
ed" inquiries. anGt over the rich car
pets are strewn contracts that sound
ed good to the ear.
Mr.. Myers was Il versatile chap. In

he was the central figure. To his

is BOUND TO COME
J. G. osborne's Opinion O
Farmers Combine" Now
Being Agitated.
FORCED TO ACT IN SELF DEFENSE
riIlers of Soil Will Unite WhC N
They SEE Necessity
of liz.

John G.. Osborne. of Port Byron,
writing to the Chicago Record Herald
in reply to an editorial dccrying the
efforts of the farmcs to form cen
trail organization for mutual protcc-
ton. holds that the movement under
discussion has much better chances
of being successful than it is popular
ly thought to have. Mr.. Osborne
says:
The farmers price fixing combine,
.socalled, seems to excite wrath or
ridicule according to the standpoint
from which it is viewed. In fact,
it is the logical outcome of existing
industrial and commercial conditions,
and if there is anything wrong about
il, it would be wiser to reserve both
wrath and ridicule, and lock after the
conditions. The idea is not so utopian
AS you imagine.
If They Should.
Suppose the farmers, by concerted
action, should cease all deliveries of
grain, live stock and provisions for
30 days. what would be the condition
of the market? And if the farmers
should unitedly refuse to deliver
wheat at less than 81 per bushel, don't
you imagine that they would get their
price? The farmes of course would
have to take care of the surplus pro-
duct in excess of the consumption and
| commercial require mcnts Of the mar
ket, but if we are half as rich as you
city people tell us we are that should
be an easy task.
The fallacy in your editorial this
morning is in assuming that these
millions of farmers cannot possibly
be brought to act through central
agency. The word impossible has
been very much restricted in its appli-
cation in recent years, and is likely to
suffer even greater limitations in the
near future. All that is required is a
farmers organization covering the
whole country. with Il local lodge or
whatever it may be called, in each
township, and a central Office at the
county seat. and 4 system eff telephon-
ic communication, and the machinery
is provided. Loyalty to such an or
ganizatiOn will come when the need
of it and its possibilities are under
| stood.
Good Time tn Start.
The present period of prosperity
may be mfavorablc to the growth of
such Il combine. but it is an excellent
opportunity for getting the machin-
cry i'm working order. And the need
may. come sooner than we think.
The writer has often said, and is
ready today to repeat, that the war
between labor and capital will end in
an alliance between these contending
forces. Labor. thoroughly organized
can demand its own terms. Capital
thoroughly organized, will grant Ia
bor's demands, and charge it up to
the consumer. and the farmer foots
the bill. When this time comes the
farmers combine will no longer eN-
cite ridicule. though it may be ia
some an object of hatred. 1t will be
the fulcrum over which ~the lever of
public opinion will compel a more
righteous distribution of the good
things of our glorious civiliza ton
