Saturdays Battle.

In hard game, distinguished by
the unusual and the unexpected, Oska-
loosa defeated Marshalltown again
Saturday afternoon and cinched Sec
ond place in the per cent column be-
yond any question. The battle was
a hard fight and Marshalltown died
hard. Shaw in the box for the home
team gave single safe hit up to the
last of the eighth inning after two
men were out. He previously let two
men walk after two strikes were call
ed and a hit by Thomas scored Brown.
The first run made by Marshalltown
was secured by Corkill in an unusual
way. Corkill got to first on feeders
choice while Brown, who had singled
safely was forced out at second. Three
balls in succession past the catcher
permitted the runner to score. These
two were all for Marshalltown, neither
earned. Shaw gave a total of seven
walks to Marshalltown men, he hit
one and two got to first by fielding
errors. Three were on by f1elder's
choice. Two hit safe, making total
of fifteen men to base. Only two
scored. oskaloosa with a total of
nineteen men to base, eight hitting
for one or more bases, nine walking,
one hit by pitcher, and one fielder's
choice, managed to get only three
scores. The Quakers got runners to
third no less than five different times
and could not score. A run forced In
by Giffen gave the locals the first run
in the sixth inning. Score tied. Mar
shalltown made another in the eighth.
With two gone In the Quaker half of
the eighth, Kensel knocked clean
three-bagger to the right field fence.

A BUSY DAY IN COUR 7
Esquire Prichett Has Many Pro-
blemS to Solve.

In Justice Prichett's court this
morning Henry Martenach was ar
raigned on the charge of intoxication.
He pleaded guilty and was given if
teen days in jail. Martenach was the
man who caused such rumpus on
West High avenue Saturday evening
near B street. The man was drunk
en- crazy when taken by Officers Nc
Carthy and Glass, and caused quite a
bit of trouble in getting him to jail.
Fred Martin was arraigned on the
charges of intoxication and begging.
He pleaded guilty to both offenses and
was given five days in jail on both
charges.
Joe Curran and VIM. Corwin were
arraigned on the charge of vagrancy.
They pleaded guilty and were given
fifteen days in jail, but this was sus.
pended if they would leave town. The
men were going around the city get
ting in on the pretense of cleaning
cisterns, and then trying to rob the
houses. AS nothing could be proved
against them, they were ordered out
of town.
Upon the information of Mrs. Mil
lard Rodgers, his wife, Willard Rodg-
ers was arrested Saturday evening By
Constable Geo. Andrews on the charge
of wife-beating. This morning he ap-
peared before Justice Prichett and
pleaded guilty to the charge and was
given ten days in Jail.
The trial of the state against Bruce
r. Arnold on the charge of mayhem
was held in Justice Prichett's court
Saturday. The crime of mayhem was
upon Jesse Stringfellow, young bar
tender, residing on West High ave-
nue., over Higgins cigar store. He
was bound over to the grand jury by
Justice Prichett. Twelve hundred
dollars bail was required, which he
furnished, and he was released.
A young delivery boy employed by
Harris Bors. was before Justice Prich-
EFT his morning on the charge OF fast
driving. He pleaded guilty, but on
the promise that he would "cut 1t out"
was released. The police say that
this fast driving by the delivery boys
and others will not be tolerated.

COAL TRADE REVIEW.
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS 40
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, Sept 22.-Slowness of re-
covery from the slackness which has
long characterized the Chicago mar
ket still continues. Very little change
in the city market is noted as COM
pared with week ago, the volume OF
business holding steady at about the
same level, in this respect following
the lead of the mercury, the weather
continuing too warm to be OF the
least assistance in stimulating trade.
At the same time there has been very
little fiuctuation in prices, there be-
ing hardly no demurrage coal or other
features which could act as disturb
ing factors. This steadiness has been
greatly helped by the constantly i'm
proving state of the general western
coal market. Outside Of Chicago bus
mess is showing a constant and stea-
dy improvement, with cutting Of pric-.
es less of a feature every day. Many
Of the producing companies which
short time ago were sending a large
percentage of their output to Chicago
are now sending almost no coal to
this market, as they find it possible
to place it without any difficulty at
points on a higher basis of quotations.
The Volume of outside business has
become so large and constant that the
prices prevailing in this outside terri
tory are now coming to be regarded
as the standard of quotation, with the
lower city prices looked upon as shad-
ed from them.

IN A WELL
LEE COUNTY FARMER UNEARTHS
CAN CONTAINING $4,000
IN GOLD.

Denmark,Ia., Sept. 22.-Frank Blint,
a Lee county farmer, living near this
town, has come into a large fortune
in most unusual manner, having
found among the rubbish at the bot
tom of an old well, can containing
$4,000 in gold. The farm on WI IN
this great wealth was found was for
merly owned by man named Court
wright. He was reported to be
wealthy. but when he died, the admin
istrator was unable to find all Of the
money he was said to possess. The
chances are that he was like a lot OF
the old-timers, who would place no
trust in banks, and instead, put his
money away in the old cistern and
well.

Foul Tips.

Rusty" Owens made the last out of
the season, assisted by Tay Kensel.
Everyone is now awaiting meet
ing of the stockholders to see what
we are to do for the next season.
The Quakers have won ten straight
games without a miss, and out of the
last series of twenty games they have
won eighteen.
Marshalltown should be ashamed of
itself. The crowd that was present
was deserving of better game than
the Brownies put up.
Mattick went to St. Louis Saturday
evening to take place in an indie
pendent southern team where he was
much wanted. The work of the young.
ster has been appreciated by the
Quakers and he will go higher.
The crowd and the ball teams them
selves were badly mixed on the num-
Der of innings played in Sundays
game on account of the error of the
boy who marks up the score board.
He was an inning ahead Of the game
all of the time. When the eighth in
ming had been half played, the train
waiting and an extra being delayed in
the rear of the excursion, the crowd
bolted and the ball players fed fast
after. Everyone had had enough of
the farce into which the game, we'll
started, had degenerated.

Benson and Booth were both walked
and the bases were full Patterson
was mad and came to bat with a dan
gerous disposition. He laid one down
through the infield like shot from
a cannon; when it was recovered Ken
sci was safe and Fred Steele, who ran
for Benson, made the race of his life
and saved the possibility of another
tie UP by beating the throw in to the
plate 1t was Fred's sprinting ability
coupled with the opportunity laid
down by Patterson's hit that won the
game at this stage.

DEPOSITS INCREASING.
MONEY IN STATE AND SAVINGS
BANKS SHOWS A GAIN OF
$3.50 $4,000.

Des Moines, Sept. 22.-An increase
Of IS, 790, $50 in deposits between May
II and Sept. is the showing made by
the 51O savings and 255 state banks,
according to Auditor of State Carrolls
summary of their reports, announced
yesterday.
1t is not usual for the banks to show
an increase of such proportions dur
ing the summer months. But it is I'M
derstood that farmers are disposing
of considerable stock on account of
high prices and this probably is the
reason that deposits have advanced in
such an extraordinary amount. In
the state and savings banks alone
they now amount to $179, 40O,437.
There has been a total increase in
deposits of state and savings banks
in the past year of s27,S41,2S5. The
calls of Aug. rs, 1905, and Sept. 4,
1906, are compared. There has been
an increase of sixty-four in the num-
Der of state and savings banks within
the year. Since May II they have in
creased twenty in number.
Their reserve is now 1871 per cent,
which is an increase Of about per
cent as compared with May II.
Twenty Banks Have a Million.
Twenty Iowa state and savings
banks have more than $1,Oo0,0oO ae-
posits each More than a dozen 9TH
ers have nearly 100000, and at the
next statement probably will go over
that figure.
