LOOKER-ON in IOWA

| Grinnell, June 26.-Readers of the
| daily papers have noticed the efforts
being made by the business men of this
| city to bring more manufacturing con-
Germs to the town. They are proceed
| ing on the practical plan of offering 10
take stock in new concerns instead OF
| Offering bonus of So many dollars
| This procedure makes any new manu-
factory established a nome concern
whose stock will not b.. sold out to a
trust or moved away just when IL be-
sins To be a good thing for a town.
This idea comes largely from the bene-
| fits to the town from The Spauldlng
buggy mandatory AMI the Morrison
glove factory, both of which concerns
run the year around ana thus put in
circulation a steady and regular
amount of money which does much to
keep alive the large number of stores
and other business enterprises here.
There is something phenomenal in a
town of 1000 inhabitants supporting an
exclusive dry goods store that carries a
stock of $4,000. It's here. This town
has three exclusive boot and shoe

OF SIS, goo. Where does the trade come
from? This Town has four exclusive
clothing stores any one carrying as
complete a stock as found in MARSHALL
town, Waterloo or Mason City, towns
twice or three times as large. Four
drug stores are prosperous. Then there
are three big department stores, one
whose expenses inquire up $40 day. In
addition there are many other we'll
stocked stores in all lines. All this in
a town of 1000 Inhabitants. Where
does all the trade come from? For they
are all making money. one reason IS
the business men here pull together.
They don't fight a new project just be-
cause OF a location possibly not to the
/ best advantage of everybody in town.
Business men took stock and gave
money towards their fine opera house
who will never get 4 i'ickels direct

ally towards building the Baptist and

ORDERS AFFECT $4,000 MEN.
Wage Reduction in New England Cot
ton Mills in Effect

BOSTON, Mass.-The first OF the
numerous reductions in wages an
nounced in the cotton mills of south
ern New England states and dozen
points outside of that territory went
into effect in all but one Fall River
corporation Monday and at a number
Of outside mills. Although about 32,-
900 operatives had been cut down, no
general strike occurred in any mill.
Mondays cut averages 10 per cent and
places the pay schedule on a basis
with those paid here previous to the
advance of March, 1902.
The reduction affected seventy eight
mills in Fall River, working nearly 25,-
900 hands, and about score OF cor
porations elsewhere in New England,
employing about 1000 operatives.
The Fall River Iron works, operat-
ing four cloth mills, will cut down
wages next Monday, and on that day
also nearly all Rhode Island and Con-
necticut manufacturers will adopt the
lower schedule.
A cut in New Bedford will GO into
effect in two weeks.

so years old
The wife and mother he's been alb
sent for about week and the elder
Paddock has been indulging in a spree
ever since she left. He has remained
at the family home in Silver Creek
township most of the time, only leav-
ing when his supply of liquor ran out
About 1 o'clock Friday the son found
the jug containing his fathers supply
of whisky and broke it. This so
angered the father that he seized a
shot gun and discharged it's contents
fairly into the breast of his son, kill
ing him instantly. The murder was
witnessed by a bird man, who was un-
able to interfere Solomon Paddock
is now under arrest and is confined
in the Jail at this place.
Will Paddock was one of the most
popular young men in Burt county.
He was born here and has always
lived in this county, except for the
time he was away at school.

FEAR UNCLE SAM
SOUTH AMERICAN COMBINATION
is TALKED OF.
THE EXCITEMENT IN COLOMBIA
Minister Beaupre Makes Report to
State Department on the Situation
Report is Being Awaited from the
U. S. Consul at cartagena.

WASHINGTON-T state depart
ment has advices by cable from Min
lister Beaupre at Bogota, dated No
vember 25. in which he states that
considerable excitement still prevails
at the Colombian capital; that there
is much talk of raising an army, but
no troops have yet been enlisted.
There are rumors in the city of
revolution in the state of Cauca, di-
rected against the Marroquin govern
ment
Rumors have reached the state de-
partment from another source that
General Reyes mission to Washing
ton is primarily to try to array op-
position senators against the ratifica-
ton of the Bunau-Varilla-Hay canal
treaty.
There is also talk OF formation of
combination of South American coun-
tries directed against the United
States. Respecting the coming of
General Reyes to Washington, it is
said at the department that much de-
pends upon the nature of his creden-
tials as to the reception he will have
to the department by the Colombian
charge d'affaires, DR.. Herran, he will
be accorded respectful hearing. But
it also is pointed out that his activi-
ties must be confined to lawful chan
nels as an alien and any attempt on
his part to influence by direct repre-
sentations any other than the execu
tive branch of the United States gov
ernment would scarcely be viewed
with equanimity.
Respecting the statements attrib-
uted to the general in New Orleans
interview that Colombia would send
100000 men into Panama overland,
the fact is recalled that the instruc-
tions to the United States naval Off
GERS on the isthmus were such that
they would not admit to the neighbor-
hood of the isthmus any hostile forces
This was understood by the officers
in question to mean that hostile Co.
lombian troops would not be allowed
to enter Panama at any point either
by water or by land, and so far there
has been no change in the instruc.
tions given to the naval officers on
this point.
State department officials are await
ing d report from the United States
consul at Cartagena, respecting the
refusal of the port authorities to al
low him to communicate with the
British merchant steamer Trent. 1t
is the conviction at the department
that the officials at Cartagena, which
is in the province of Bolivar, are act
ing entirely without authority from
the Colombian government at Bogota,
and, in fact, it is suspected that a
state approaching anarchy exists
throughout Colombia.
