WHAT CAUSED PEACE.

What really caused peace will hard
ly be known with any exactness for
months and perhaps years to come.
1t is easy to put too much emphasis
on the more obvious and temporary
inducements and on the personalities
involved. The president and Mr..
White have doubtless counted for
much, but great and hidden forces
have assuredly been at work. Japan,
we fancy, was moved primarily by
the knowledge that she had all that is
necessary to her and more than she
declared as her object when she de-
cided that war had become inevitable.
Her second consideration was prob
ably the folly of continued great ex-
pense, and the third, her estimate of
public opinion in Great Britain and
America for as much as it was worth,
but not an atom more. She has had
the wisdom of moderation. She has
realized that magnanimity, like hon.
esty, is sometimes the best policy.
Talk about either side being outwitted
by the other belongs in the region of
romance. Each from the beginning
probably guessed rather accurately
what was in the others hand and the
result represents the relative strength
of the cards held by each. Russia
was influenced by money considera-
tions and the international situation
far more than by public opinion, al
though of course the views of the
president, the kaiser, and the French
would have weight Such surmise
must, however, for a long time be
general We know only that a great
war has been fought for an object
with which England and America are
in sympathy that a new power has
arisen to teach the old and proud
powers new things about the direful
art of war, and that the world III
general has sickened of the fight, and
is extremely glad to see hundreds of
thousands of strong men go back to
the fields to make food and life, in
stead of destroying them.

certain that Grssy received the order.
The whole question Of responsibility
for the accident rests upon the static
ment as to whether Gray received the
orders to hold No. IL. He is reported
to have been handed the orders sent
previously-"Run forty minutes late to
Eldon." These were the orders which
it is claimed by Train Dispatcher Bar

the order to hold No. IL. Operator l..

CONTRACT

One Man Who Thought He was Sign

Trees Gets Notice to Pay $1s5, and
Others Say Their Orders Were
Doubled Grand Jury Asked to Act.

Special to Times Republican
Scranton, Oct. 2S.-A number of the
farmers in this community have been
victimized by an alleged fruit tree
swindler. An agent claiming to own
a large nursery at Des Moines worked
here during the summer and secured
a large number Of orders. He agreed
verbally, to plant the trees and to re-
place, during period Of three years,
all that died, but there was no such
agreement in the contract which the
victims signed, but there was clause
which stated that the purchaser agreed
to pay 60 per cent of the order as
damages IL the order was counter
manded.
Many Of the farmers signed the or
ders without reading them and did not
receive copy so that when the trees
came most of the orders had been
raised to double the former amount.
One party who says he bought IS
worth Of trees. received $1S5 worth
and found his name signed to an order
for that amount. Several farmers
have settled for 60 per cent of their
contract without getting the goods,
and others have appeared before the
grand jury to secure an indictment
against him for fraud.

Sheldon Banker Is Found Not
Guilty on Charge Of Fraud

EVIDENCE wAes SURPRISING
Defendants Attorneys Presented a
strong Array Of Evidence to the Jury
and Acquittal Became More Certain
as the Case Representations News.

Primghar, Iowa, Oct. 2S.-Hon. Ed
C. Brown, former member of the iowa
railroad commission, and president OF
the Sheldon State bank which failed
two years ago with a large shortage,
was acquitted by jury here last
night on the charge of fraudulent
banking. The case went to the jury
at o'clock yesterday afternoon and
the verdict was returned at midnight.
After the first ballot, it is said, the
vote stood eleven to one In favor of
acauittal.
Brown was deeply effected when he
heard the verdict, which was greeted
with cheers by his many friends who
remained at tie courthouse during the
evening. His two sons, Earl Brown
and Ed c. Brown, Jr., were present
and the trio was busy for many min
utes shaking hands and receiving
congratulations from their friends
Brown expects to return to Montana.
where he is employed as clerk m the
office of the superintendent on the
Northern Pacific Two of his sons are
employed by a lumber company there
and a third is employed in bank.
The case was on trial for ten days
and was bitterly fought. Browns
showing at the hearing proved sur
prise even to his friends. The evil
dence introduced lin his behalf showed
that the assets Of the bank were much
more than had been given out and that
much of the property had been sacri-
feed.
Brown and his two sons testified
that Brown was not aware Of the
Shrink deposit being accepted on the
day of the banks failure. The in
dictments against him were largely
based on Shrinks testimony that
Brown was in the bank at the time.

Davenport. Oct. 28.-John Reese, the
man who disappeared so mysteriously
Tuesday night, has not yet been found.
Although the river around Iinwood
and Buffalo has been dragged by q
dozen searchers for more than day.
no trace of his remains has been found
and the searching parties have about
given up hunting for him any longer.
All sorts Of stories are afloat around
;Linwood and Davenport and many
are inclined to think that he Is not
drowned, while others are! certain
that his body will eventually be dis
covered in the river.
In support of the claim that he is
not dead it is stated that he drew
his money out Of the bank, took his
watch and other articles with him
which would not have been probable
IT, he were demented.
Another point that seems to be
against the drowning theory is the
fact that he had not taken out a mar
sriage license, although the wedding
was to have occurred at O'clock in
the morning.
In the meantime Miss Gertrude
Ruefer, who was to have been his
bride, Is i'll in bed, stricken down by
the terrible shock. Her friends state
that she Is bearing up bravely under

Iowa City, Oct 2s.--Mr. J. B. Stew
art, of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, vice prest-
dent of the Iowa Federation OF Labor
and member of the Typographical
unior at that point, spent five hours
here last night investigating the troub-
led conditions which exist among the
master printers and workmen. MT.
Stewart was on his way to Des Moines
to attend an executive meeting OF the
Iowa federation where it is believed
the matter is to be brought up.
The trouble was precipitated here by
the action of the University Press
company, engaged In printing and
iobbing business. Mr.. Geo. T. Reddick,
president and manager OF the com
pany lodged complaint with Mr.. j.
j. Kepler, head of the local union,
against the Republican Printing com
pany and the Economy Advertising
company. both of which concerns are
doing job printing business In the
city.
Against the Republican Printing
Company it is charged that they have
been setting type for the publication OF
the Daily Iowan, the official organ OF
the stud mt body of the State Univer-
s.ty of Iowa, which Is then taken over
to the Johnson County Printing
Company, q so-called scab shop and
there used and handled by nonunion
pressmen and printers. Against the
Economy Advertising company 1T is
charged that they are bidding for jobs
here in the city and are sending the
largest amount of the composition or
typ setting to Cedar Rapids firrn,
which sets 1t by means Of a machine
especially imported for that purpose.
AS the Republican Printing company
is also setting the body Of the Daily
Iowan form on typesetting machin',
the work is done so cheaply that OF
fees such as the University Pres
company which have no machine are
u,sGhle to compete for the work. 1t fs
alleged that the Economy Printin
Company has sent about a thousan
dollars worth of composition to tn $
machine office in Cedar Rapids durine
the past four months and has practf
cally made it impossible for job
printers setting type by hand. to com
pete for the work.

Iowa Falls, Oct. 2S.-Heirs in near
ly every state west Of the Mississippi
will share in the big Parriott estate
that is now ing closed up. The
most of the property was owned in
Butler county and has been sold SO
as to make the division among the
heirs, Mrs. Susan Parriott formerly
of this city, being one of them. In
many instances the heirs will receive
very small proportion Of the total

proce DIS of the sales. The largest di-
vision is 2-21st Of the estates value.
One of the most valuable items of the
estate was 172-acre farm in Butler
