MANY FAVORABLE FEATURES
OUTLOOK FOR BUSINESS GROWS
STEADILY BRIGHTER.
Leading Commercial Agencies Find
Much for Congratulation in
the Situation.

New York, Oct. 8.-R. G. Dun's Week
ly Review of Trade says: with the
crops almost beyond danger, prices OF
securities at the highest point since May
1903, and idle machinery resuming at
many factories and mills that have been
closed for months, the business outlook
grows steadily brighter BY far the best
feature of the situation is the confidence
manifested by an increased disposition
to provide for future requirements. This
Is by no means general, but it is noticed
at pig iron furnaces, wooden mills and
among dealers at widely separated
points, particularly those located in the
agricultural sections. Mercantile col
lections are also more prompt, and rail-
way earnings for the month of September
were 3.S per cent. larger than in the same
month last year, while foreign commerce
at this port for the last week shows in
creases of $1,051 ,20S in imports and $40,
74S in exports as compared with year
ago. Dispatches from the leading cities
are almost unanimous in telling of I'M
proved conditions. ......-
Failures this week in the United
States are 222, against 223 last week, 225
the preceding week and 239 the CORE
spending week last year. Failures il
Canada number 25, against Is last week,
30 in the preceding week and II last
year"
Bradstreet's says: Popular esti-
mates of leading crop yields continue to
enlarge, corn has passed out of danger
of serious frost damage in the west, and
distribution, both at wholesale and re-
tail, expands as cooler weather ap-
proaches. Additional favorable features
are the continuance of the good tone in
pig iron, freer buying by railways of ma
terial and rolling stock, and heavy gen.
eral crop movement helping collections
north and south. While the buying of
dry goods, hardware, groceries, shoes
and clothing continues of good volume,
particularly at the west, conservative in
tiIsenees fina4 ierin small but fTeE
quent orders, calculated t. meet Access
stiles. The transportation movement is
heavy, and railway earnings show an ex-
panding tendency, the gain for Septem-
Der promising to be six per cent. over
1908. There are some flaws in the stu
alton which stamp this as an off year
when compared with previous periods of
great prosperity. Relatively most activ-
ity in current distribution, whether dry
goods, shoes, clothing, lumber, hard
ware or building material, exists in the
west and northwest. Cooler weather
is needed in the south to stimulate re-
tail activity. In the east business is not
so active in some industrial centers,
which have felt the Pinch of the spring

.PAY TRIBUTE TO THE Dead
SERVICES OVER. REMAINS OF
HENRY c. PAYNE.
Ceremonies Marked by Simplicity
Many Officials and Diplomats
in Attendance.

Washington. Oct. 8. - Although an Of
tlcial funeral, the services in st. Johns
church Friday over the body OF the late
Henry c. Payne, postmaster genera,
were marked by impressive simplicity.
Oficial Washington filled the nave OF
the hurch and. brilliant as were the
uniforms OF the large representation
from the army, navy and marine corps,
the solemnity of the scene was only en-
HANGED by the sharp contrast OF color
with the deep mourning Of the family
and personal friends of the dead cabinet
officer.
Side by side with Mrs. Payne sat Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt, both in deep
mourning The casket was borne to the
chancel by eight uniformed postal car
riers. After them walked the pall-bear-
ers, Secretary Hay, Secretary Hitch
cock and Secretary Wilson, the only
members Of the cabinet who were able to
reach Washington for the funeral.
The service was read by Rev. Mr..
Smith and his assistant, Rev. Mr.. Dun
lap, the only alteration in the regular
order of service being the offering Of a
special prayer for Mrs. Payne, The
hymns sung during the service were
Lead, Kindly Light" and Jesus,
Lover of My Soul" For the occasional
the vested choir sang clark, Hark, My
Soul" The selections were made by
Mrs. Payne and are her favorite hymns.
The members of the diplomatic corps,
out Of respect for the dead cabinet Of
f1cer, were dressed in black, and practic-
ally every diplomat now in Washington
was at the church.
After the services the remains were
escorted by the postal carriers of the city
of Washington, in uniform, to the Penn
sylvania station, whence the body was
aiken on a special train to Milwaukee.
The interment will be in that city, the
home of Mr.. Payne.

.BELGIUM'S RULER
ROUNDLY SCORED.
KING LEoPoLD's POLICY IN THE
CONGO ASSAULTED.
SCENE IN PEACE CONGRESS
Resolutions recommending the For
nation of a Peace Making Union
Among the Nations Unani-
mously Adopted.

Boston, Oct Sizing Leopold, of Bel.
GUM, was assaulted for his policy as SOW
ereign of the Congo Free State at a pub
lie meeting held Friday afternoon Dr.
connection with the session of the in
ternational peace congress. The attack
upon King Leopold was made by E. 7
Morell, of England, who represented the
Congo Reform association. Mr.. Morell
charged that the king was personally re-
sponsible in a large measure for cruel
ties practiced on the natives Of the Congo
Free State in the terrific endeavors OF
monoplistic commercial organizations
to obtain from the country all the ivory
and rubber possible. The king was de-
Tended by George Herbert Head, of Cam
bridge, England, who submitted that
King Leopold had done all possible to
stop the cruelties practiced. The gov
eminent policy in the Congo also was
bitterly denounced by Rev. W. M. Nor
rison, for seven years missionary in
the Congo land.
For Peace-Making Union.
The first subject tal-en up Friday at
the congress was the elaborate plan of
organizing the nations into positive
peace-making union, as favored in the
resolutions by t1c Danish Peace society,
the Universal Peace union, of the United
States, and other organizations. The
memorial was read by Mrs. Belva A
Lockwood of Wa hingtOn. 1t aroused
keen interest amc-g the delegates.
The preamble points out that there
is mo concert of action proposed, or
feasible plan, whereby the machinery
of The Hague convention may be put
in force to prevent war, where war is
threatened, and that the present con-
fiict between Russia and Japan shows
Enthusiastically that some power more
potent and rational than brute force
is needed to prevent the useless sacri-
flee Of human life and property, now
become such an object lesson to the
civilized and uncivilized world" There
fore, IL is Resolved, That the congress
recommend that a new convention be
concluded between the parties which
are parties to The Hague convention,
or so many of them as may be willing
to join in such convention establish
ing pacigerent union between them
A basis for the convention is then out
lined.
The resolutions, after a brief discus
-sion-vere adnnted IN unanimously with
rE1aepa------v--ss----~--a -- ~
the provision inserted that the COM
gress merely called the attention OF
the powers to the treaty suggested in
the memorial as one model for adop-
ton by all.
The congress voted to hold the con-
gress of 1905 at Lucerne, Switzerland.

health and spirits for a number OF
months and although approaching
eighty years Of age she has been spry
and energetic almost to remarkable
degree. She has been visiting among
the children and other relatives in
and near Oskaloosa during the past
summer and was planning to spend
the winter in Oskaloosa with her son
Fred. She was at the Haven home
for visit and was feeling so well
that She offered to stay at the home
and care for its duties while members
Of the family went to the fair at ST.
Louis. She arose at four o'clock in
the morning and assisted the travellers
in getting away. She stayed at the
house while the nephew escorted the
party to the station She had good
breakfast ready for him on his return
and was to prepare dinner for him on
his return again at one o'clock
When the boy entered the house all
was still and nothing had been done.
He entered another room of the home
and found the old lady lying on sofa
apparently asleep. He went to her,
spoke to her, but could get no reply.
He called assistance from neighbors
and 1t was found that the old lady
had been dead several hours. A
slight abrasion of the skin and drop
Of blood above the left eye would IN
dictate that the old lady had felt the
dizziness coming on her and had fai-
len against something, possibly a
door frame, and had then found her
way to the sofa.
The body will be taken to Atlantic,
the former home. and where other rel
atiyes are at rest. Funeral and in

of sympathy to the bereayed family.
