special kilograms regarding the state
OF trade from correspondents OF the In
ternatlonal Mercantile Agency through
out the United States and Dominion of
Iahada are summarized as follows:
Inc week has been marked by a some
what unsettled feeling and renewed con-
servatsm IN commercial circles. Distri-
button of staples is smaller than a week
ago at Chicago, and materially so at
Plttsburg, where Industrial activity has
improved, except for millinery. Cooler
weather has improved trade in New Eng
land, except for jobbers, where season is
ended. Warm weather has dulled de-
mand at Baltimore and at Louisville.
Collections are rather slow in territory
tributary to St Paul, but in the cotton
regions they are growing easier. Plow-
makers report a good business. but mod
crate collections Kentucky has me-
dunn tobacco crop, but prices are hotter
than last year. Philadelphia merchants
say trade in staples is smaller October
lumber shipments from Minneapolis were
the largest of any month this year.
encouragement is felt at the new pol
icy of the steel trust. Consumers will
no longer have TO go abroad for steel.
Ten thousand tons of rails have been
sold to GO to China More mills are
opening and some are closing tempo
rarily. Colorado's coal strike offsets the
settlement of Montana's copper war. Fall
Rivers wage cut was not altogether UNI
expected. Makers of prints have been
losing money at late prices for material
and rate of wages But high cotton is
making foreign exchange fast, now that
Europe is demanding all it can get re-
gardless of price-the most significant
financial feature of the week, with cot
ton, not steel, as king
Tight money has checked the rising
demand for bonds, but shrewd people are
making large investments at bottom
prices.
Trade conditions at Montreal are about
the average, and demand for seosonable
goods is fair. Mild weather at Toronto
has checked the distribution, but dealers
report the beginning Of holiday trade in
fancy goods and jewelry. Canadian lum-
Der cut will be less this year than last
owing to scarcity of labor. Canadian
banks are loaning money in the United
States, which makes it more difficult to
secure funds here.

The results have been a number of

A SHAME
To Poison Children.

I have made coffee during the Il
years I have kept house on an average
of at least once day until we gave it
up altogether. Ny husband was often
forced to leave off drinking it for sew
eral weeks at a time owing to severe
pains in his heart which he declared
were caused by coffee"
So says a LADY of S. Atkinson. Me I
had a bad stomach trouble, my appe-
tite was poor, and what food 1 ate did
not digest and had no strength.
I also had bad nervous trouble and
suffered much from headaches and a
feeling of suffocation and faintness. We
have four children and all were very
fond of coffee and drank il every morn
ing. seldom eating much breakfast
They were pale and often complained
of feeling faint and dizzy and one
daughter had indigestion badly My
husbands father who lives with us was
badly bloated and sometimes said I be

Custodian and Engineer of State
House Let Out.

Colonef George w Veale was today let
out as custodian of the state house by

ceeded on October l by Captain J. C
Collins OF Miami county.
A. L. Mooney. chief engineer, suffered
The same sort of eatment. He will be
succeeded by A. P. Maltby of Reno
county.
These are the two best jobs which
have to do with the care of the state
house Each pays salary of $500 a
year
Captain Collins is an old soldier of
Miami county State Treasurer Kelly
has been working for some time TO get
him this place. II was all fixed Up that
Colonel Neale should be asked to resign
and Collins should be elected several
weeks ago, but Attorney General Cole
man refused TO stand for any action
which would put Veale out unless he
chose TO resign voluntarily This morn
ing Mr.. Coleman was absent, but Nj
Kelly had rounded I'D the necessary
four votes without his. The vote stood
four 10 one in each case Governor
Bailey voted for the reelection of Veale
and Mooney, while Secretary of Ste te
Burrow, Superintendent Dayhoh, Audi
tor Wells and Treasurer Kelly voted Tor
Collins and Maltby.
Maltby is an old-time engineer but he
has been farming mora recently near
MedOra in Reno county. He was a
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for sheriff in Reno county last
year but failed to land it. Last spring
he asked for the job Of chief engineer
of the state house, but Superintendent
Dayhoff discouraged him. A short time
ago Representative Watkins came UP
from Reno county to renew Maltby' s
candidacy and he brought along a Pc
tition signed by four hundred Repuoli-
cans asking that Maltby be given the
place. Dayhoff then went in and land
ed the place fer his Reno county man.
Incidentally it Is quite possible that MI,
