TWO MILLS WILL BE BUILT.
Good Thunder to Have a Couple OF
Substantial Industries,

from FRIDAY s DAILY.
Since the burning of the Cable Mill
| there has been all kinds of rumors cur
rent as to the building of new mill at
| this place, and indications now warrant
the belief that at least two will soon be
in operation. Our latest information
warrants the statement that r. L. Houk
has purchased an incompleted mill at
Truman, which is being torn down and
shipped by rail to this place, then re-
built. The masonry work has been CON
tracted for and we understand that a
portion of the machinery has been pur
chased, says The Good Thunder Herald.
Mr.. Kreuer, whose mill was recently
burned, assures us that he will rebuild
N Good Thunder and has been quite ac-
tive druing the week in forwarding his
plans He has applied to the railroad
company for a side track site and has
spent several days in Minneapolis looking
over machinery and ascertaining the adj
visibility of conveying electric power
from his water dams. and has about de-
cided on this power He has received
many guarantees of financial support and
it is believed that subscriptions from
farmers and merchants will aggregate
considerably more than $1,000. A 100
barrel mill is contemplated, arranged SO
the capacity can be readily increased
shotild occasion demand
Two mills for Good Thunder will GER
tainly be great benefit to the village,
but we cannot say they will prove prof
table investment to the promoters. Our
able investment to the promoters. Our
territory is limited and much grain
would have to be shipped in to keep
even single mill in operation.
The extension of the Milwaukee to
Amboy might furnish an outlet for a
portion of the output, but in no case
could either mill be classed as a custom
mill and in competition with adjoining
mills of much greater capacity, we much
doubt either proving financial success.
Still the promoters are men of business
qualities and in a position to realize
what they are engaging in.

WILL JOIN The UNIONS
FARMERS ARE TO AFFILIATE WITH
TRADE ORGANIZATIONS.
Purpose Is Said to Be The Control OF
Agricultural Product; Hold
For High Prices.

Chicago, Sept. 2l.-Reports were
brought to Chicago that movement for
an organization of farmers in close ALI
ance with trades unions and for the
purpose of controlling prices of agri-
cultural products, is sweeping through
the country. 1t is said the cry for
combination between the tillers of the
soil and the working classes of great cit
les, to strike at the profits of the COM
mission men and spectators and rail
roads, that are reputed, to wax fat in
the transfer of grain, vegetables and
dairy products from the farm to the
cities, is loud in southern Illinois, Indi
ana, Minnesota and adjacent states.
There is a project on foot among
Wisconsin farmers, who are uniting in
county organizations under the name of
the American Society of Equity, to
send representatives to the coming con-
vention of the American Federation of
Labor in November, and seek utilization.
Joseph w. Morton, one of the best
known of Chicago's labor leaders, men
Der of the executive board of the In
| ternational Brotherhood of Firemen and
| delegate to the American Federation
of Labor, returned today after a two
weeks trip in Wisconsin, and reported
that the organization idea had taken
hold of the farmers all over the state
From further west reports were
brought by j. j. Stonsteby of the Uni
ted Garment Workers union, who de-
clared that, while travelling through
Montana, Idaho and states farther
south in the interests of his union, he
had found the farm owners and their
employees to be agitating unionism for
the purpose of commanding better
prices for their products and labor In
Texas there is strong organization
known as the Texas Alliance.
"The farmers in Wisconsin believe
that If they can perfect great ma
tional union they can get command of
the situation by shutting off all ship
ments of breadstuffs and other products
for period of seventeen days"
This was the assertion OF Morton. He
said the greatest enthusiasm prevails
around Madison and Elrov.
"This American Society of Equity is
not entirely new, but it is Just begin
ming to take hold of the people. They
are being taught to believe that by
centralizing control of the food supplies
of the land they can command better
rates fro mthe railroads and DESTROY the
middlemen, who now reap rich harvests
from the labor of the producers. The
society is working on the socialistic
theory that there is no need for work
ers to enrich the idle class that EXPLOITS
the less cunning classes" :

young women, and the short Jacket
with tailor collar is TO be the autumn
coat for little girls. Tire threc-quar-
tiers length coat is invariably becoming
to matrons and the middle aged.
Care, however is needed to insure the
length exactly three quarters, or if any
variation less rather than more. The
tendency for most women in costuming
street suits especially is to look out of
proportion. If coat is worn it should
be two-thirds the length of the figure,
making the waist one third, the skirt
of the coat another third, leaving the
dress skirt below to make the third
third
Fashion centers this autumn are
showing strong leaning toward the
princess gown for both house and street.
This can be comtassed by plain,
close fitting skirt, silk shirt waist of
exactly the same color, worn under an
Eton jacket, fitting so neatly at the
waist line, it only shows as separate
when removed. This for the street is
best in black, drak grays or deep
browns. Sleeves are still of medium
size, and any attempt to make the ex-
tremely large or extremely small does
not meet with success. For evening
dress, however, almost anything that
pleases the fancy, and is becoming is
worn. Some of the gowns for dinners,
receptions, etc, have an open work
close fitting sleeve of lace or net and
sometimes gauze, with silk or lace,
accordion pleated, falling over them
from shoulder to elbow.

THEY'RE FROM MISSOURI
BOLD BAD SAMPLERS DOING PEG.
PIE IN THIS STATE.
These Smooth Takers and Clever
Confidence Men WheedIe Money
From Their Victims.

From Thursdays Daily.
Another fraud is being ventilated by
the Minnesota Bankers association
through it's protective committee. The
plan is operated by gang of Missouri
confederates One Minnesota bank has
been defrauded and two others have
been approached. The operation is after
this manner:
A member of the gang goes to the
city stockyards or some public gath
ering out in me country, such as fair
or circus, picks his man, and engages
him in conversation regarding pro-
posed scheme. On the strength of mis-
representations made by the swindler,
the victim is finally induced to sign his
name and address in what purports to
be memorandum book. Instead of
the signatures being written on leaf
of the memorandum book, however, it
is written on the signature line of a
check, the body of which is ingeniously
concealed. During the conversation, it
is an easy matter for the crook, who is
invariably a smooth talker, to ascertain
what bank the victim does business
with. The check is later changed to
suit the requirements and filled out for
the amount to be drawn.
The fraudulent piece of paper is then
taken or sent to the city, passed
through a minor deposition, for collec-
ton. The check, having a genuine sig
nature, is likely to be honored when
sent to the bank on which it is drawn,
unless the circumstances surrounding
the transaction are carefully consider
ed If the check is honored, the ode
position" is given credit by the city
bank; if not, the check goes back to
the "depositor," who, in either event,
is doubtless an accessory to the crime,
but when questioned concerning the orr
gin of the fraud, claims to have cashed
the check for stranger.
