DECIDEDLY BUSY
WEEK IN TRADE
MANY SIGNIFICANT FEAT uREs IN
BUSINESS SITUATION.
COMPLAINT OF POOR DELIVERY
Railways Fail to Make Any Progress
At Remedy-Graln Shipments
and steel Mills Hampered
Most.

New York. Nov. IL Bfadstreet's
today says:
Serious congestion Of railway ship
ments, more advances in wages, sat
isfactory recorders, large volume OF
spring trade, greater activity in re-
tail lines in consonance with colder
weather, a marked development Of
demand for holidays, and persistent
requests for domestic and foreign
iron and steel, are among the signin-
busy week. Complaints of poor de.
livery are widespread, and while the
railways are making every effort to
remedy the situation, little progress
is being made in that direction. Be
cause of these delays, collections
are not so good as they might be,
though most of the improvement re-
ported last week is maintained. Ship.
ments of grain probably suffer most
from the congestion, but deliveries
of fuel to manufacturing plants and
shipments from iron and steel mills
are also hampered. Industrial plants
are being pushed to the utmost, for
eign iron is coming in in volume, la
Dor is scarce and wages, especially
those of railway employees, have un'
dergone further favorable changes.
1.-THE grain markets have shown
few fluctuations, the weakness Of last
week in wheat being followed by a
small advance, ABOUT 1c, at New
York and Chicago. The movement is
still light and primary receipts oil
wheat are still below year ago fol
the season. Northwestern millers
complain of high prices asked fol
wheat and report export business
checked. Trade is active as proba
bly, never before at this season of the
year at New York. Dry goods of al
kinds, millinery, gloves, jewelry, pa
per, confectionery, Irvine and cordage
hardware, iron and steel and Other
metals, machinery, coal and tobacco
show special strength in demand anc
prices. Wholesale grocers report a
satisfactory trade.

LOST DRIVING HORSE.
And Had Narrow Escape From Ser
ious Injury.

Fred Garrett, of Cedar, had an IN
pleasant experience near Leighton,
losing a valuable driving horse and
narrowly escaping serious injury
himself. He was going down steep
hill when for some unaccountabIe
reason the animal he was driving
suddenly became unmanageable. He
began kicking violently and pitched
head foremost down the hill. He
turned completely over, pulling the
buggy over with him. The shafts
were broken off and the morse break
ing loose, dashed forward, kicking at
the shafts which still dangled about
his heels. In the kicking and plung-
ing the horse became impaled upon
one of the thills and was killed. MIR.
Garrett was thrown violently from
the buggy as it turned over, but ne
escaped serious injury, having only
a few scratches and bruises.

CAMPBELL IS GUILTY.
Stole Goods From Bernstein and
Sold Them Back to Him.

The district court is making pro-
gress with the criminal docket. The
Campbell case was concluded Friday
and today the court is proceeding
with the trial of w. G. Maloney.
C. G. Campbell OF near Brighton
was arrested on complaint Of one
Bernstein "a junk dealer. The claim
was made that Campbell broke into
sealed car of junk that had been
loaded for shipment by Bernstein
and stood ON Q" siding at Harring-
tons foundry awaiting transporta-
ton. The allegation was set up that
he took from the car lot of old rub
Der that was placed in the car, took
it back to Bernstein and sold him
his own property over again. The
defendant was arrested in this city,
gave bond for appearance. He was
indicted for breaking and entering
and was arrested on a bench warrant
at his home near Brighton and re-
turned to this city for trial. Camp
bell claimed that he got the old rub
bers and junk from a car that has
been used by the bridge gang work
ing on the 20" and that the junk had
been discarded by the workmen and
thrown aside. He gathered it UP
and sold it. Inc jury concluded that
the defense was not sufficiently sup
ported by fact and evidence and
found the defendant guilty as charg-
ed in the indictment. Sentence will
be pronounced next week. James A.
Dewitt assisted County Attorney John
Mccoy in the prosecution of the case
and Attorneys David G Gordon de-
Tended.
The case now on trial is that in
which w. A. Maloney and Frank
Johnson were jointly indicted on
charge of breaking and entering
Iowa Central property, taking there
from thirty-seven boxes of cigars.
The men were arrested and the goods
found, practically in their possession
The men are being tried separately.
John o. Malcolm was called into the
case to assist Mccoy in the prosecu-
ton, while the defense is represented
by o. c. G. Phillips. These cases
and that of Campbell have aroused
considerable interest and have been
closely followed by a good sized audi
ence in the court room.

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AS
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE Black Dia-
mond of today says: During the
past week the mercury fell as low as
twenty-nine degrees Fahrenheit. which
tended to make the prices on all do
nestle grades of coal more nrm. the
only feature of the week which war
rants attention is the oversupply OF
smokeless mine-run. Many of the
selling agents are trying 10 hold up
prices to the circular, which is $1.35.
but in some instances it is claimed
that mine-run is being purchased as
low as $1.15. The tend Of prices is
practically the same as last week.
The demand is accumulated for almost
every class of coal and the market
is growing stronger on account of the
increasing country demand, together
with the cold weather which is great
ly stimulating orders. The amount
Of coal coming into this market has
not notably increased during the past
week. The increased amount of
smokeless spot run-of-mine is not due
so much to the increase in supply as
to the falling off in demand. This,
no doubt, has been occasioned by the
fact that prices are now ten cents
greater than earlier in the season at
which time the dealers stocked up
their yards and are therefore not in
the market for large quantities of
this class of coal at present. There
is very little spot coal available in
other grades excepting screenings
which are little stronger than last
week. The car supply in every part
of the country continues very bad"

REPAIRS In Park.

The cement floor beneath the band
stand is being repaired and the ce-
ment blocks tnat were removed on
account of sinking have been replac-
ed. The floor was laid over the site
Of oskaloosa's artesian well and the
rotting away OF some Of the supports
beneath the cement caused the floor
to settle. The place was declared to
be unsafe by Mayor John G. Williams
and the drinking fountain that was in
the stand was taken out and the stand
closed up.

Light Plant.

The statements made in the Herald
of Thursday concerning the transfer
Of the property OF the Oskaloosa
Traction and Light Company to the
oskaloosa and Buxton Interurban
Company may have been a bit mis-
leading in the mention Of the amount
Of the transfer. the sum OF ninety-five
thousand dollars. A sum OF sixty-five
thousand dollars yet remains to be
paid on the property. A full and
detailed statement is in preparation
by the officers of the company and

Legs Of Fowls.

1t is well for the poultry raiser to
keep a close watch of the legs of his
fowls. II more would do this the
poultry would be saved attacks of the
insects that burrow under the scales
on the legs and produce what we call
"scaly legs" Often the trouble is not
realized till the pest has spread all
through the poultry yards and most
Of the fowls are affected. Then some
of them have become so bad that 1t is
extremely difficult to cure them. If
they are taken In time, good bath
of the legs in a kerosene emulsion or
some other insecticide may check the
invasion, as the insects will be ami
hilated. 1t is not uncommon to find
birds so badly affected that their legs
have become chalky and in some
places are bleeding from the attempts
of the fowls to pick off the parasites,
which evidently cause intolerable itch
ing. If the legs are as they should be
they will be smooth and glossy in APP
pearance. no matter what their color
may be.
