FRANCIS 4. FARRoT TT.
Msmbsr Of second tqNa cavalry Dies
st lowe 0ity.

J. A. Cozine, of Ross, returned
last week from Iowa City where he
attended the funeral of Mr.. PARROT
to whom he was related as brother
in-law. Believing that q notice OF
his death will be of especial interest
to members of the Second Iowa Caval-
ry he furnishes the following article
for publication:
Francis "A. PARROT was borninScott
township, johnson county, April %
1871. He was married TO Abigail CO.
zine Jan. 81 1870. To them we've born
five children, Jessie, who lives In
CandO, N. d., John f., of Waterloo,
Ia, Martha E., Ellison, N. D., Albert
W., of Med. Hat, Canada, and Her.
bert L., who resides with his mother
at Iowa City. The deceased has re-
sided continuously In Iowa with the
exception OF the time spent in the army
and eight years In Texas. !
Mr.. PARROT enlisted at the first call
for troops in 1861 In the first Iowa
Infantry for ninety days. He was in
all the engagements In which the
regiment participated, including that
famous battle OF Wilson Creek. AT
the expiration 0f his service in the
first Iowa he enlisted in the Second
Iowa Cavalry on Dec. 1861 for three
years. He was with this regiment un
til mustered out In 1854. And when
the members of this regiment were
asked to re-enlist PARROT was rejected
because of his physical condition.
His intense loyalty was shown by the
fact that it is said he '.cried like a
baby because thus rejected. He par
ticipated with the End Iowa Cavalry
in the following engagements: New
Madrid, Island No. Ten, Pennington,
Bonneville, Blackland, Rienzi, Iuka,
Corinth, Water Valley, Palo Alto,
jackson, Okolna, West Point, Miss,
and many others. This regiment left
Davenport Dec. 1851 numbering 1900
men and before the war closed had
received 1900 recruits making 200
men. Less than 400 of these are re-
ported as living today. When the End
Iowa cavalry was mustered out they
returned to Davenport and Muscatine.
In their honor there was grand
jubilee and festival. The Muscatine

how its mention calls up "reminiscences
and recollection! What daring deeds
Of heroism are suggested! What thrill
ing histories of individual daring
might be written from its glorious
record: A record OF marches, perils,
privations and battles, such as no
other regiment Of any arm of any SER
vice in any war can boast 3 prOuder.
Now its mighty fame has been carved
by it's almost reckless bravery in
many battles, in not one of which it
was ever whipped, although in many
of them greatly Overmatched In num-

Some seasonabIe Advice.

1t may be piece of superiluous
advice to urge people at this season
of the year To lay in supply OF
Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. IL Is
almost sure to be needed before winter
is over, and much more prompt and
satisfactory results. are obtained
when taken as soon as cold Is con-
tracted and before it has become
settled in the system, which can only
be done by keeping the remedy at
hand. This remedy is so widely
known and so altogether good that no
one should hesitate about buying II
in preference to any other. IL is for
sale by A. III. Roberts.

Farmer Burns retained the cham
pionship at Des Moines last Friday
night in the wrestling contest with
Sam Mcmillan Of the Pacific coast
The contest was to be three throws
out of five. Farmer Burns won the
first, second and fourth, being an easy
winner. He was here last week and
gave very creditable exhibition. He
does not use liquor or tobacco and
never swears, which probably goes u
long way in making him success as
wrestler. Shelby News.

First, soak the corn or buniOn in
warm water to soften it; then pare it

MONEY IN ACTIVE REQUEST

New York November 1o-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say:
 Excellent reports still come from nearly all lines of trade and industry. the only flaws being complaints that car eonges- ton in widely separated sections affects prices, collections, cereal, coke and coal and general freight movements. and to certain extent thereby dseourages some new orders. Cold weather is still a stimulus to trade; quarantine restric- tons have disappeared, filling in orders are numerous, and spring sales compare well with year ago. Jobbers and whole salers reported some transference of ac- tivity from staple lines to holiday special ties. Manufacturers of these goods arc working full time. Industry as a whole Is very active. Iron and steel interests report the past month as record breaker in all lines. Prices of staples display mark ed strength, one half of one hundred such articles being higher than a month ago. Reports from the country are that money Is in active request, and the de- mand for crop movement is unprecedent- ed. Here. car congestion also cuts a fg- uic III pfoioHBiiB the lifne Delore the return currency movement sets in. At the metropolis call money has risen sharply, the highest figure for two years being touched with a diseouraging effect upon stock speculation. Some slowing down of the foreign demand for cereals is noted.
 Iron, steel and lumber, all other build ing materials, cotton and cotton goods and hides. leather and shoes show strength never heretofore surpassed. In fact the list of prices are strong or tend ing upward, is d veritable roll call of the country's products.

DUN's REVIEW.

New York, November 9.-R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will say:
 Each week brings a stronger business situation. seasonable weather having re- moved the last drawback and pressure for shipment of goods is so great in many lines that the partial holiday of election week put deliveries still further behind and caused much inconvenience Reports of wholesome conditions are now practically unanimous and improvement In collections is noted in many dis patches Retail trade in wearing apparel and foodstuffs is the feature, while in terest is beginning to be shown in holiday goods, of which very large stocks were accumulated in expectation of record breaking season. Manufacturing lines constantly establish new high water marks of production, the present output of pig iron being at the rate Of more than 100000 tons monthly, and this Is one of the best known business barome- ters
 Footwear forwardngs from Boston are within a few thousand cases of the rec ord established in 103; textile mills cannot make deliveries with desired promptness and building operations are phenomenal A few small strikes are in progress, put not sufficient to prevent the greatest InduHtff6l dtllSity III iit ii"N''' Railway earnings thus far reported Tor October show gain of 25 per cent over last year. Prosperity is also eVidenc- eo by a further rise in prices Of eommod- ities. Dun's Index Number on NoVehper 1 being si03.s53, the highest point or re, cent years The per capita amount or money in circulation Is also at new record of s31 .69.
