from New Sharon Friday evening by
Sheriff Ed Valentine and Constable
Dunwoody Of New Sharon and was ar.
raigned before Justice Bacon on the

ARE DIVIDED.
TEMPERANCE WORKERS uN
ABLE TO AGREE ON A POL
ICY FOR THE PARTY.

Des Moines, Oct. 6.-After a hot
debate, IN which criticisms were hurl
ed at Governor Cummins and Hon
Claude R. Porter, a resolution recon.
mending the support of the temper
ance forces of the state for their own
candidates, was turned down in the
get together" convention of the anti
liquor workers of the state yesterday
afternoon.
As result of the refusal of the con-
vention to pledge its support to the
prohibition ticket,ill feeling has again
arisen, and for time it was feared
that the old schism which has divid-
ed the temperance forces for SO many
years would be reopened.
The resolution asking that the con-
vention pledge its support to Father
Coffin for governor on the prohibit
ton ticket, and the rest of the candi-
dates, was offered by Malcolm Smith
of Cedar Rapids, and in substance
was as follows:
"Inasmuch as the prohibition party
- bhN OhiJ ptAbS bhdb rhdo uCSldICu
against the saloon, therefore be it re-
solved that we support the candidate
of our party"
Scarcely had the resolution been
offered when E. B. Evans, one of the
promonent workers in the anti-saloon
league, arose, walked to the front of
the building, and declared in the
strongest terms that such an action
could not be taken in a convention
which was not entirely partisan in
its principles. ...s...
In spite of the vigorous protest of
MI. Smith the resolution was tabled.
Again, later in the afternoon, an
effort was made to pass the resolution,
but it failed. AS a compromise a
resolution was passed to the effect
that Father Coffin was worthy of the
support of every man at the polls.

TRADE STILL OF
RECORD VOLUME
Is ACTIVE BEYOND PRECEDENT
SAYS BRADSTREET's,
DESPITE STORM IN THE SOUTH.
And Delayed Movement of Western
Crops-Cooi Weather Stimulates
Retail Trade, But collec-
tions Are Irregular.

New York, Oct. 6.--Bradstreet's to-
day says:
Trade is still Of record volume for
the season and industry is active be

bad weather and serious crop damage
at the south and delayed movement OF
western crops to market. A silver
lining to the southern cloud, however,
Is found in the advance of liz a pound
in cotton and cooler, more settled
weather at the west evokes improve
ment in retail trade. Car shortages
are charged with some responsibility
for the rather slow movement of
grain, but the firmer tone of cereals
is largely due to reports of improving
export demand.
"The three most important general
lines of the country's trade-textiles,
iron and steel. and building show I'M
precedented activity. Fall festivals
and cool weather have been a slim
illus to western retail trade, but COL
lections are irregular, ranging from
slow to fair at the south to good at
some western points. Other centers,
however. note the effect of slow grain
movement as affecting payments.
pig iron has again advanced, the
increases ranging from 25c to SOC per
ton. Prices are now approaching the
levels that prevailed in the latter part
of 1903 and the first portion of 1902.
Copper is up 1c per pound on de-
mand, domestic and foreign being
heavy.
Intervention in Cuba and prompt
disarmament of the parties to the dis

situation. Refined sugar dropped 20
points and raws are lower mere and

Wheat, including flour, exports in
the United States and Canada for the
week ending Oct. 4 aggregate 4,917,-
OIL bushels, against 1,072,64A this
week last year.
For the past fourteen weeks of the
fiscal year the exports were 44.795, 042

1905. Corn exports for the week end
ing were S46,O99 bushels, against L.

fiscal year 80 date the exports are 81
300,381 bushels, against 15,5S0,417
bushels in 1905. ..s-..
The most important development
of the week in the textile industries
was the elimination of irregularity in
primary markets for cotton goods, be-
cause of the sharp advance in the
price of raw material.
New England's manufacturers of
footwear report liberal orders for

OUR COLORED SOCIETY.
Ins and Outs of the Local Colony
and Their Friends.

Mrs. A. G. Clark returned Wednes-

Mrs. o. G. Lee, of Des Moines, is a
visitor for few days at the parental

The new pastor assigned to Wesley

Buxton and vicinity was well rep

grand jury is in session and some
twenty subpoenas were sent into that
locality. Then some came over OK

cause the others came.
Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson Mitchell were
so unfortunate last week as to lose
one of the twin babes recently bora
to them. The little one had always
been the more delicate of the two, but
seemed to be quite healthy and was
doing nicely up to last week, when it
began to show signs of illness and
continued to grow weaker until FRI
day, Sept. %, when the little spirit
went out forever. The funeral was
held from the home on North Fifth
street Saturday, with intermenC at
Forest cemetery.
Geo. H. Jones, the barber, had quite
an experience last Sunday. For sew
eral days prior he had been bothered
with slight pain in his right foor,but
had given it little or no attention. On
Sunday he was around as usual in the
morning and in the afternoon went
TO the country during the funeral OF
Will CAVITY. While there the foot
again began to pain him and swelled
so that he had to remove his shoe.
But that did not bring relief and the
pain soon became so severe as to
make him quite sick and for while
he was almost unconscious. Friends
came to his assistance and did what
they could to relieve him. He had re-
covered somewhat when Major Lacey
and his wife drove up and the Major,
seeing Georges condition, kindly Of
fered him the use of his buggy, into
which they assisted him, and Mrs.
Lacey drove him to his home, where
with the assistance of his wife and
neighbors they got him into the house
and to bed. He was still suffering
intense pain when the doctor came
and it was several hours before he
got any relief. About 10 o'clock he
says he went to sleep and slept sound,
ly, all night. Next morning he was
surprised to find most of the swelling
gone and but little pain in the foot,
and he was able to get up and go to
his work with the aid of a cane. His

Supposed Man Shown
After Death to Be Woman
PHYSICIAN RETICENT

PHOENIX. Ariz., Dec 19.-The case OF
Nicolai de Roylan, who died last night,
Is still one of mystery. The physician
.of the deceased, Dr. Rowe of Chicago,
was employed by the latter's wife, now
residing at 592 South California street,
Chicago. The doctor came here with
Nieolai de Roylan two months ago.
DR.. Rowe is reticent, refusing to talk
or the matter. He has received instruc-
tions to bury the body here, but Is
awaiting developments.
No substitution of another body was
possible. as the dead person had been
a patron of the lodging-house for two
months Charles Tanner identified the
body as that of his friend of the last
thirteen years. He believed the right
name of the individual to be CONSTANT

at the revelation.

but NicoIai de Roylan was rejected
without examination on account of his
appearance. Tanner knew De Roylan
had woman he called his wife in Chi
cago, and that she had son. There is
Greek cross marked "Nicolai" on the
body.
The effects include diamonds, medals
etc. De Roylan's habits were mannish
and he was regular patron of a bar
Der shop. though appearances scarcely
warranted such a custom.
