RETAIL TRADE Is BENEFITED BY
COOLER WEATHER IN WEST AND SOUTH
Proximity of the Election Tends
to Hold Back Business to
Some Degree.

New York. Oct 2.-Bradstreet's to-
| morrow will say:
| Cooler weather has helped retail trade at the
West and South. This is reflected In some re-
| order business from iobber8 and wholesalers.
! whose trade, while steady, and better than last
year at this date. is not entirely up to cN
pectations. This Ia possibly due. In n measure
| TO the close proximity of election. which Is
credited In 4 few reports with holding back
some business.
The industries give satisfactory reports, iron.
in its cruder form leading, with active demand
at advancing prices. Seasonable conditions
held the coal industry. but lack Of water in the
coke regions, and the came trouble in Eastern
streams tends TO restrict some manufacturing
operations.
Collections. as a whole, a:e cIassed good.
being relatively best at the South. Railway
earnings for the first half Of October will run
more than per cent ahead Of those Of 1903.
There still appear unmistakable signs that eau
tion and conservatism have not lost their value
as yet, and that these qualities still weigh the
tendency toward optimism noted in recently
preceding weeks.
Features In this weeks dispatches are the
good reports from leading Western centers as
to retail trade Settled cold weather Is needed
,a the Wrn e 70 sa a etrs are well
employed on late fall orders. Leather IS firTner
and some upper Ieatncr mad been advanced In
per pound. Eastern shoe shipments show gain
OF per cent over this week year ago. but
are per cent behind for the year. Boston re-
ports demand for cotton goods at first hands
retarded by the recent drop in raw material
WooIen goods have not sold well
pected. Raw wool is less active at the East
but firmly held for what supplies ayaila-
BILE Anthracite coal Is In rather better shape
BtumInous Is also picking UP.
Lumber Is fairly active at all Western points
there is more building OF all kinds contemplat-
ed and white pine DISPLAYS more strength. II is
also improving at leading Southern markets
but shows special stimulus at leading East
ern cities.
The p!g-iron market displays notable strength.
Activity Is not confined entirely the cruder
forms. although finding its chief exhibition
therein. Bars. plates and structural material
active at the West. and hardware
dealers and manufacturers note special activity
in.this line. Other metals. notably copper and
lead. tend higher.

Scheme to Call Out Deputy u. S.
Marshals on Election Day
Condemned.
SAYS POLICE cAN'T.lNTERFERE
Chief Purdy Declares Intimida-
tion Would Be Impossible i
Republicans in Com
troll.

Reiterstion of the run1ors. einana ting
from Republican leaders. that Deputy
United States Marshals would be brought
to East st. Louis on election day to pro-
tect negroes and other voters, has aroused
the Democrats. and many Of the prominent
RepnbHcansxo of the city are severely criti-
cising the policy Of bringing In Federal
officera ~
Statements have been made in several
Republican quarters that the Police De-
partnent would interfere with the voters
and that for this reason the Deputy United
States Marahals would be needed. ~
This ASSERTION is laughed at by well-in-
formed politicians. and is repudiated in
strong language by Chief of Police George
o. Purdy, who declared yesterday that he
could not intinidate voters with his po-
liccnen If he wanted to.
In the history of East ST. Louis since
the adoption of the election law" said
Chief Purdy. there never has been
charge by any political party that the
elections were not conducted properly, or
that fraud was ever attempted. So far as
the Police Department is concerned it is
under the direct orders of the Board of
Election Commissioners on election day.
The board instructs me where to place
my men and the number they deem requi-
site to maintain law and order at the polls.
Several weeks ago l conferred with
the board and it gave me preliminary in
structions on the number of policemen de-
sired, and also as to where they should
be placed. The board, as is generally
known, consists Of two Republicans and
one Democrat, and IL seems to me that
with its legal power on election day the
Democrats are the one who have q
complaint, If any.
Under the law. should the Police Depart
ment be inadequate to preserve order the
board has the power to order the Sheriff to
deputize men for this purpose. Sheriff
Thompson is a Republican. and 1t seems
would be unable to deviat from the
straight and narrow path

In attempting to draw bucket of wa

Edwardsville, became dizzy and plunged
into the well distance of about thirty
feet
The sides of the shaft were too smooth
to attempt to climb out and. as she had

the bucket was attached and screamed
for help.
To her horror In a few minutes she saw
the curly head of her baby girl appear
inside the curb, as the little one strained
over in an effort to see what was the
matter with its mother.
With the sight a. new danger threat
ened. and the mother ceased her shouts
for help, fearing that the child might
slip and fall In. Her husband was away
from the house and it was an hour and a
quarter before he returned. and seeing
the little one crying beside the well In

The shock and exposure have so seri-

since been unable to speak a word and

the law by that official removed every
scintilla Of doubt ever entertained by the
association and others in the matter.
Mr.. Roberts bases his conclusion on the
act of April %. 1904. which authorized the
Secretary of the Treasury to have pre-
pared suitable dies for such award medals
and their duplication in any Of the Gov
ernment mints. provided all expenses be
borne by the properly awarded exhibitors.
The counterfeiting clause included in the
act, and which was. expected to cause
trouble for the successful exhibitors who
are bent on advertising their success and
produce cuts OF their award medals In the
newspapers, follows:.si- .1< =, -
These medals shall be coined and. dies
prepared subject to the provisions of .the
act Of 1888 against counterfeiting and imi-
tating Federal coins"
1t will be seen that the pure and simple
intent OF the 1904 act was to-prevent dupli-

DEMOCRATS ARE HOPEFUL
IN MADISON COUNTY.
Expect to Elect Ticket and Give
Plurality for Congressional
Candidate

The Democrats of Madison County are
planning to carry the county this year
for both the entire county and congress
sional tickets. On account of the defec-
ton in the ranks of the Republican party
over Congressman Rodenberg, the Demo-
Gratis expect to make big showing for
their candidate, Mic Perrin, in Madison
County.
The chief opposition to Rodenberg among
Republicans is in Madison and st. Clair
counties and added strength to their
Congressional ticket by nominating Henry
o. Tonsor of Alton for member of the
State Board of Equalization.
Tonsor has a large number of personal
friends among Republicans and the DEM
ocrats are figuring on him running ahead
of the ticket In Madison. Joseph C..
Faulstich of Alton, Democratic nominee
for Recorder of Deeds of Madison County,
is expected to lead his ticket, also both
on account of his popularity In the city
of Alton and the entire west side Of the
county. His opponent, Chris Kuenne-
mann, the incumbent. has a fight on his
hands among his Republican brethren In
his own home, and the Democratic lead
ers say that this disaffection Is permeat-
ing the other sections of the county to- the
good of their candidate.
The entire Democratic county ticket. II
is also claimed. will profit to great ex-
tent from the same source
