IS ALL FIGURED OUT.
Drummer Evangelist Has New Plan
of Salvation.

The shifting winds Saturday blew
into oskaloosa one of the most unique
characters that ever dropped here. He
is B. F. Elliott, of Boston, known as
"the Drummer Evangelist" Whiie
Mr.. Elliott does not mix commercial
ism with his religion,he proves every
thing with figures and does as good
a Job as an expert accountant might.
He is allied with the Salvation Army,
and spoke under their auspices here.
Mr.. Elliott has been in Oskaloosa
before. He was here in 1898, and
about the only change noticeable
about him is that he has got more
figures in his head. He was for
eighteen years travelling salesman,
representing the dry goods house OK
solomon Abbey, of Boston. Travel
ing in a coach one day the revelation
came to him that the name OF his
employer was composed Of thirteen
letters, the same number that Is found
in the words Salvation Army and
that the initial letters of Simon Alb
ley also stood for Salvation Army.
That settled the matter for him, he
was sure he was called by God to go
and preach the gospel. He throwed
up his job and has been preaching
salvation ever since, and proving all
things with figures.
According to Elliott's chart the al
phabet is represented by figures be-
ginning with A as l and continuing
through with 2 as rs. He is not an
advocate of phonetic spelling, but
thinks he has all orthodox systems
beaten to a finish. BY taking the sum
of the letters contained in the word
Bible he gets 30. This is also true OF
the result in bread, peace, day and
other good things. The sum Of the
figures in the word God is &c, the
number of the letters in the alphabet,
therefore proving that God Is the
whole thing in this world. The three
letters G. A. r. also equal &c, and
Mr.. Elliott explains that the Grand
Army of the Republic is the forerun-
ner of a mighty host that win CON
uuer the world and carry salvation
into every corner and crevice OF the
earth.
Asked about 20, Mr. Elliott denied
that it meant "skidoo." In fact II
means the very opposite, or accord
ing to the philosopher, "the begin
ming" The letter or and the let
ter n or IA added together equal
%. "In," says Elliott, signifies in
the beginning, and W being the 23t
letter, stands for world. Therefore
in place of being the end of all things
% really means the beginning of the
world"

chicken-pox and whooping-cough-
We know-.scholars know who have
an international scope Of yision--that
it is not altogether necessary any
more than are the contagious dis
eases.
What is needed Is to prepare the
way for a generation whose feelings
shall be somewhat different from ours
"a generation that shall have less
reverence that we have for what is
called usage. During the last hun
dred and fifty years we have become
race of dictionary worshipers; and
we have gone so far in our blind, I'M
reasoning subserviency to an artifi-
cial standard that the time has come
for a reaction. We need to recon
uuer and assert for ourselves some
thing Of that liberty which Shake
speare and Milton enjoyed. We need
to claim the natural right of every
living language to grow and change
to suit the convenience of those who
use it. This right belongs to the
written language no less than to the
spoken. We have the same right to
make usage that Steele and Addison
and DR.. Johnson had; and there is
Just as much merit in making usage
as in following it. The tendency, OF
Trieb, which leads people contin.
ually to refashion its inheritance is
Just as august, just as worthy Of
respect, as the conservative ten
dency. Indeed it is more worthy;
for it is the sign of a living language
and life is better than death.

MEAT RIOT IN new YORK
HIGH PRICES CAUSE A BATTLE
ON THE EAST SIDE.
Housewives Try to Start a Boycott
and Picket Shops-clubs and
Missiles Are Used.

New York, Deo IA war on the
butchers of the East side Jewish quar-
ter has been started by woman resi-.
dents Of the district as a protest
against the high price Of meat Re.
Gently the butchers put up the price
of meat two cents a pound, and In
verbal explanation of the act said
the packers had again raised the
prices to the butchers, and they had
to follow suit. 1t is an easy matter
to create trouble among the excitable
residents of the quarter, and the &C
ton of the butchers was quickly re-
scented.
Housewives met on the streets and
discussed the subject, and from this
it was only a step to form indigna'
ton meetings. Such meeting was
held at the home of Mrs. Esther Del.
bobsky, ~ East Fourth street. Nearly
80 women were present. Mrs. Del
bobsky told the women she thought the
prices of meat were outrageous, and
advised strike against the butchers.
Mrs. Delbobsky and Mrs. Rebecca
Resenick went to meat market in
! the neighborhood as pickets and i'm.
mediately began addressing a large
company of women customers, advis.
ing them to boycott the butchers. As
the women cheered the butchers be-
came excited and tried to dispense
them. A battle followed in which
clubs were used and various missiles
thrown.
Mrs. Delbobsky and Mrs. Resenics
were struck in the face with sharp
missiles, and both received serious
cuts as well as other injuries. Sew.
eral other women we're struck by
stones and clubs. The police were
called but made no arrests. There
were many small skirmishes in the
doorways of many other East side
butcher shops. Women with shawlH
pulled over their faces upset side
walk stands and broke open crates
containing live chickens.
In Second street, Rivlngton street
Forsythe and Delaney streets groups
Of women stood in front Of the butch
err shops declaring they would boy
colt the butchers until prices came
down. The women would not permit
any one to enter the shops. AS night
drew on they marched in body to
the offices of Jewish newspaper, and
there asked for newspaper aid in
their fight.
Fearing a repetition Of the meal
riots Of five years ago. when much
property was destroyed, the butchers
have begun organizing. Louis Kirsch
president of the organization, de
clares that 1000 meat markets on the
East side will be closed rather than
attempt to combat strike against
them by the women OF the tene
ments.
AS a result of the war on meat the
fish mongers beneath the Williams
burg bridge and along Delaney street
did rushing business.

HAS CAUSE FOR THANKS
COUNTRY, SAYS DUN's REVIEW,
is MOST PROSPEROUS.
Agricultural, Industrial and Merean.
tile Activity Surprising All Rec
ords-Wheat Holding Back.

New York, Dec. 1.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Business was interrupted by the
Thanksgiving holiday, but conditions
warranted more than ever befsre a
day devoted to grateful recognition. In
all departments of agricultural, indus.
trial and mercantile activity the cur.
rent year is SURPRISING even the phe.
nomenal record of 1905, which in turn
eclipsed all preceding years. Reports
from leading cities indicate that trade
was we'll maintained during the past
week, and further improvements noted
in mercantile conditions. Holiday
goods continue to occupy a position
of prominence, but distribution of sta
pies is on large scale. Leading
manufacturing industries are receiv
ing orders for delivery far into next
year, the volume of forward business
being exceptional for iron and steel
products, and a sharp advance in the
price of raw cotton testifies to the
consumption by spinners. L..
Wheat is not coming into sight al
the northwest as freely as was prom
Used. Western receipts of 4,7O9,S2t
bushels of wheat for the week com
pare with $685. bushels last year
while exports from all ports of the
United States, flour included, were 2,
714,461 bushels, against 1857, 491 last
year, and 1,25S,479 in 1904.
Liabilities of commercial failures
thus far reported for November
amounted to $6,SO9,6O1, Of which 81,
s57,959 were in manufacturing, 81,
643,477 in trading, and $2Os,155 il
other commercial lines.
Bradstreet's says:
Trade has been active as rarely be
fore at this season. Despite wide
spread holiday observances, warn
weather in parts of the south and bat
roads in the northwest. The really
serious cause of complaint, ref1ec
ton in itself of superabundant pros
perity, is the practically countrywide
congestion in railway traffic, which
affects grain movement, collection.
and retail trade in the northwest, de
lays delivery Of badly needed Goa
supplies In the entire west, interfere:
with the movement of cotton to mar
ket at the south and hampers manu-
featuring operations in the iron and
steel, textile, lumber and other trades
Railway men appear awake to the sit
uation and are working energetically
but the near approach of the wintel
season renders the outlook dubious.

THE ANTICIPATION OF OUR
SPELLING.
BY Calvin Thomas, LII. D.
Professor of Germanic Languages and
Literature In Columbia unlver-

Literature In Columbia Onlver-
sity.
The indications are that spelling
reform is one of those time-woru
phrases the use of which tends to
prevent calm scruting Of the facts.
1t seems to excite in many minds
on both sides of the ocean a physical
reaction which is unfavorable to
sober discussion. 1t calls up images
of a dear motner-tongue multilateG
and made hideous by soulless van
dals; of a demand that men and wo-
men who have once learned to read
and spell shall acquire these useful
arts over again. We hear talk OF
cranks, humbugs, etc. All of when
is unfortunate, not because it hurts
the feelings Of reformers-for they
can always ease their minds by re
Wiling their opponents-but because
it pulls discussion into improbable
channels and tends to obscure the
really important phase of the subject,
namely, its educational phase.
Wishing, now, to charge upon this
question boldly and yet circum-
specify, have thought best not to
hang out the banner of spelling re-
FORM" which is to many the red en-
sign Of anarchy, but to substitute
therefor sort of pink flag of truce.
Let us consider the amelioration of
our spelling.
As it is, there is need to worry. For
there Is the question of teaching
children to spell-a grave question,
an ever-pressing question, which will
not down when some one has said
that his religious feeling is offended
when he sees the word Savior print
ed without its British u. Tastes may
differ as to the relative beauty and
dignity of particular word-pictures,
but the educational problem is not a
matter of taste. 1t is not open to
question among intelligent and fair
minded persons that grieyous bur-
den is imposed upon childhood by the
necessity of mastering. or attempting
to master, the intricacies of our
English spelling. Parents complain,
editors, schooi-inspectors. collegeex-
aminers complain, and the higher
teachers complain of the lower. Many
have come to see that there is some
thing somewhere seriously wrong;
but only few Of the more enlighten-
ed have come to understand that the
fault is not with the schools, and can
not be corrected either by return Of
