Think Contractor Was Murdered,

Relatives at Wellsburg, Ia, have en-.
ployed detectives au sI.vps.s srclsrs..sk..s
r. D. Mills, former well-known con-
tractor and builder of Wellsburg, who
has been missing since April Is. It
seems that on that date Mills left home
and when at Kansas City wrote home
that he was leaving that day fer New
Mexico, where he had some work to
do. Nothing has been heard Of him
since. He had on his person $4,000
in drafts and cash and many are IN.
clined to think he has met with foul
ploy. Prior to his departure he had
been living at Sioux Falls. The rec.
ords at Kansas City show that a ticket
was purchased by Mills, but 1t has
never been taken up by the roads con.
ductors and turned in.

President OF Storm Lake Bank A..
cused Of Gross Misrepresentation.
If the testimony of Receiver A. J.
Wilson is to be accepted, w. e. Brown,
president of the First National bank
of Storm Lake, is guilty Of gross mis-
representations to the controller Of
the currency. Brown in on trial in
the federal court at Sioux City for max.
ing false entries in his books and false
reports to the controller. Taking
Browns report to the controller for
Nov. II, 1908, Receiver Wilson declar.
ed that whereas Brown reported
$712.75 of worthless accounts, this
item really amounted to s55,42e; that
while Brown reported no overdue pa
per, there was really s14,0S6.15; while
he reports no unsecured everdrafts BY
directors, there was $26,974.76. He did
not mention at all loans to individuals
Of more than 10 per cent Of the capital
stock, which is forbidden by law. VII
son says there was total Of over
100000 of such loans. While Brown
reported he had himself borrowed but
$7,592.2S from the bank, Wilson says
he borrowed s69,e12. Browns attor-
neys say the difference between the
two reports is merely one of classified,
ton.

AMERICA SUPREME IN TRADE
Statistics Show conclusively That
This Country Leads the World
in Commerce.

During the last month, for the puY.
pose Of ascertaining the facts as to
Americas relaive position, industrially,
among other nations, 1 have studied the
statistical reports of our own and other
leading nations, says writer in Cent
Per Cent, and the investigations and
comment Of almost every important
daily and financial journal. in America.
The universal verdict of the press, ire
spect1ve OF party affiliations, Is that
Americas supremacy has been estab-
lished and that the nation faces the
dawn Of 1905 steadied by the knowledge
of the stupendous truth that, CONNER
cially, among the other nations Of the
world, she stands for the first time in
the forefront and alone. The RESPONSE
bility which comes with such knowledge
Is SOLDERING.
But the report of the bureau OF statis-
tics OF the government department OF
commerce will Of course carry greater
conviction than the news reports and
opinions of even the most reliable jour-
nails. This reports figures are in all
cases estimates, except Of the census OF
1900, but are approximately accurate;
however, for the most important items
the actual figures are available.
In cotton consumption the percentage
Of increase between 1880 and 1903 in the
United States is 107 per cent, as against
Is per cent in the united kingdom, Ger
many and France combined; in pig iron
l37 per cent. of increase for America,
against 102 per cent. increase in the
united kingdom, Germany, France and
Russia combined; in coal 1854 per cent.
Increase in America, against 50 per cent.
Increase in the four European countries
combined.
And as the percentage Of increase is
larger, so the actual quantities Of these
three articles consumed are larger. The
consumption Of cotton in the United
States in 1903 exceeded by 80 per cent
that of the united kingdom and was
nearly double that OF Germany and
France combined; of pig iron, the con-
sumption in the United States was con-
siderably more than double that of the
united kingdom; Of coal, the consump.
ton in the United States was nearly
double that of the united kingdom and
fully double that of Germany.
| America has 100000 people, a tota.
wealth of 100000, 000, 900. and the cast
value of the cotton, corn and whea,
crops for the year is about 2.012, 00o, 900
The new year will be one Of almost un.
paralleled prosperity.

The boy, who bears his fathers name,
was led into his error through reading
tales Of desperate deeds. He wrote to
neighbor, Jacob Feldner, rich farm
er, threatening him with immediate
death and the destruction of his prop
erty IL he did not personally place
$1,000 in money upon certain rural
mailbox at 10 o'clock on stated night.
Two letters came and Feldner was In
panic, but confided in the sheriff.
Feldner delivered the package, bo-
gus one, and an ambuscade Of deputy
sheriffs caught young Feldner. He de.
clared he had been met on the road
the preceding night by two masked
men and at the point of revolvers was
commanded to take letter of instruc'
tons passed to him and follow them
to the letter on penalty of death. The
boy later confessed to the attempted
blackmail.
The state court suspended a light
sentence, but Uncle Sam is not sc
lenient. The Francis family is highly
respected.
