Rev. o. A. Johnson of Des Moines,
was business visitor in the city this
week.
S. B. Johnson, of CenterVille, has
been in the city during the past week

to starting restaurant here.
He comes well recommended and is
prepared, if the conditions warrant,
to open first-class place.
The chicken supper given by the
stewardesses of the A. NJ. E. church
at the church Friday evening was
quite largely patronized by our citi-
zens, and the menu was all one could
wish. This was the initial entertain.
ment under Rev. Stoyall's leadership
and he has proven himself quite a
worker in such matters.
Mrs. Morris Mitchell, of Chicago,
who is visiting at the Robt. Johnson
home, and who has been sufferer
from rheumatism for some time, has
suffered relapse the past week.

She came here hoping the change
would afford her some relief, but ii

both her and her friends, as up to this
time her condition has been such as
to afford little hope of any speedy or
permanent recovery.

THE AUTO CASE.

Pella Chronicle: J. Willemsen filed
information against N. L. Towle OF
Oskaloosa for failing to stop his auto
mobile when his horses became
frightened.
J. L. Warren was the attorney for
the defendant and Geo. Thomassen
attorney for plaintiff. A jury was
impaneled and the trial began and
lasted for several hours.
Willemsen was driving with his
wife and daughter north of Pella
when they met Towle in his automo-
bile accompanied by three other men
The horses became frightened when
the auto was yet distance off and
the family got out and Mr.. Willemsen
tried to quiet the horses. When the
auto approached the horses became
unmanageable, broke loose from Mr..
Willemsen and ran away, doing slight
damage to the rig and breaking the
harness.
Mr.. Willemsen testified that he sig.
nailed the men to stop the automobile
and they did not do so, therefore
violating a state law. Mrs. Willem.
sen and daughter said that they were
watching the horses and did not see
whether the auto stopped or not. A
third lady testified that she saw the
whole affair and that the auto did not
stop.
The four automobile men testified
that Mr.. Willemsen did not signal
them to stop but that they stopped
the machine when they saw the dan.
ger. 1t seemed to be a matter OF
balance of evidence and the jury
found in favor of Mr. Towle.

SAN SALVADOR IS
ruined BY STORM
RIVERS cHokED WITH coRPSEs
OF MAN AND BEAST.
PROPERTY LOSS INcALcULABLE
Tempest Has Ragged For Ten Days
Ships Wrecked and People Bur-
led in Ruins of Their
Own Homes.

San Salvador. Oct. 20.--A tempest
has ragged necessarily for ten days
throughout the republic, flooding rich
valleys, principally that of Majada,
and resulting in great loss OIL life and
the destruction of cattle and crops.
The Salyadorean man of war Izalco
was lost at Acajutla. The topogra.
ply of various departments have been
changed. buildings have fallen, bury
ing their tenants in the ruins, and the
iron bridges over the principal rivers
have been carried away.
The rivers are bringing down the
bodies of persons drowned in the
storm and the carcasses of cattle, and
the sight of these tend to increase
the terror of the people.
The losses are incalculable.
Guatemala and Honduras also have
suffered severely 1t is said the
losses there will amount to many mil.

ROY MEREDITH is
SERIOUSLY HURT
ACCIDENTALLY SHOT BY BROTH.
Err WHILE HUNTING.
CHARGE STRIKES HIM In HEAD
Ugly Wound On Ear and Cheek
Feared Skull Is Fractured and
Shot Has Entered the
Brain.

Roy Meredith, aged fourteen years,
a son of Clark Meredith, residing on
the Loughridge place just southeast
of the city, met with serious and
probably fatal accident while hunting
in the woods, between ten and eleven
o'clock Saturday morning. The lad
was accidentally shot by his brother
Frank, charge from>a twelve-gauge
gun striking the lad back of the right
ear, piercing it and blowing along the
side of the face, making wide and
ugly wound. The ear was all but shot
away
The unfortunate lad and his brother
Frank went into the woods to look
after some stock. They met Roe An.
derson, who was out hunting. Frank
took the gun from Anderson and the
lads started through the woods. single
file. A rabbit started up near the
boys and Frank swung the gun around
to get a shot at the animal. AS he
did so the gun was discharged. Roy
was ahead of the gun, getting the load
as above described.
The shooting occurred near the
home of Dr.Sarbaugh, who was quick
ly summoned. Other physicians were
called by phone. The lad had to be
carried a distance of more than a
half mile to his home before he could
be treated. To what extent the skull
has been injured cannot now be deter
mined. The physicians are agreed
that the wound is very serious and
the brain may have been penetrated
The unfortunate lad was not uncon.
scious until placed under the influ.
ence of chloroform.

Everybody is Looking For Pie,

Or in other words, trying to get
money from credulous people and
those who are easily gulled. Many
attempt to get trade by claiming that
they examine eyes the same as relia-
BILE eye specialists do, hoping thought
less people will not think of their lack
of education, skill and, what is inf
nitely of more Importance, lack of ex-
perience.
Now I wish to say frankly that
don't wish any reflected greatness
or to obtain capital by claiming to
follow the eye methods of others. II
did, it would be false. My meth.
DDS are not like those of others and
are not practiced by others. In fact,
they are peculiar to myself, and they
are the result of nearly sixty years
OF research and study Of the eye.
Whether good or bad, they are my
own special methods, and as to their
success, can leave that to the ver-
dict of more than ten thousand sat
isfied and delighted customers of os-
kaloosa and surrounding country.

THEY LIKE CALIFORNIA
The Mattison Families Now Located
at Long Beach.

A personal letter from John Matti
son reports him and his family, and
his father, William Mattison, and his
family all nicely located at Long

building new homes in their adopted
city, and the houses are less than
four blocks apart. Among other
things in his letter John says:

ed in this fine coast city of about TO-.
900. Our stay in San Francisco was
anything but pleasant. We were
there five days in 1904, and to see it
as it was this year, in June, made
one feel as though it could never be
rebuilt. 1t looked awful.
Long Beach is a fine city. There
are great many people coming here
to make their homes, people with
money enough to carry them through
and others to start new enterprises
There is consequently lots of specula
ton in real estate. 1t is very hard
for one to keep from catching the few
er, but as yet have not been inocu
lated. Our new home will be only
one-half block from the street cal
line, and just three blocks from the
ocean. We have a horse and buggy
and have enjoyed the fine drives this
summer. When we desire we can gel
on street car here and ride to Los
Angeles, or several other places with

TRADE CONTINUES
IN LARGE VOLUME
RECORDER BUSINESS FROM JoR.
6ERs NOTICEABLE.
COTTON GOODS is VERY ACTIVE
In General Distrlbutive Lines Renorts
Are FaVorabIe-PracticaIIy All
Lines Are Being Urged to
Limit.

New York, Oct. 90 Bradstreet's
today says: Trade continues of large
volume and while the ordinary rush
OF tall trade is over and next springs
is receiving attention actual retail de.
mand has induced heavy volume of
recorder business from jobbers. Per.
maps the most active branch Of whole.
sailing and jobbing is cotton goods.
There is also a better tone to wooden
goods. In general distributiye lines
the reports are almost uniformly fav-
orable. Industries return reports OF
great activity; the iron and steel,m
al working, coke, cotton, other textile,
furniture, carpet and, indeed, practi-
cally all lines are pushed. !.
Exceptions are found in shoes
which have not been as we'll ordered
as year ago for fall and winter,
though excuses on last springs ac-
count make a net gain for the year
as a whole.
"There is a complaint that low
prices offered for grain are affecting
seriously farmers west and northwest.
The features of the iron and steel
trade is the pressure to produce suf-
ficient quantities to meet require
ments. High prices and premiums
for prompt deliveries seem to be the
rule. Pig iron is higher, and as high
as $25 a ton has been paid for No. 2
foundry in eastern and western cen
ters for spot supplies. Bessemer pig
commands very high prices in the
central west.

MINES And MINING.
Notes by Edwin Perry, Secretary
United Mine Workers of Iowa.

The Cricket mine is now hosting
100 tons screened coal, and the ton
mage will be increased in all proba-
bility in the immediate future. The
cost of production at this mine, owing
to some abnormal conditions in the
vein, in the past, has been away above
the average, but it is now on paying
basis, and the miners more contented,
and it is to be hoped that the future
will be still more suspicious.
q e y
Mr.. Mcmillan is. sinking an air shaft
at his new mine near Lakonta, and
preparing to supply the market with
a large amount of the black diamonds.
y p q
All the mines on the Northwestern
System are working practically full
time, and the same is true of the Bur.
lington System with but few excep.
lions.
s. sH
The mines in Appanoose county
along the Milwaukee Railway com
plain of a car famine, the mines are
idle at least one-third of the time for
want of transportation facilities.
So y
1t is rumored that coal sold locally
in Des Moines will be advanced SOC
per ton about Nov. /. If coal can be
sold during the summer and fall
months at $500 per ton, when the
mines have a greater fixed expense,
then why is it necessary to advance
the price in the winter?
The number of miners has increas,
ed very materially in Iowa lately.
The top works at -Olivet burned
down this week, but will soon be re.
built and the mine in operation again
- HH
Scott county, the mines that in for
mer years employed a large force OF
men, are fast being worked out, and
before long mining there will only be
a matter of history.
Boone county also has less mines
now than in former years.
