Trade, who has just returned from q
visit to the Burbank hom's. It prac-
ticall means that $5UO0 was the reward
he received for producing his new spine

THE KEMBLE REUNION
Four Brothers of Pioneer Family
Enjoy Week Together.

The Kemble broLners have been en-
joying family reunion in this city
this week, the four brothers of the
original family being together,the first
time in three years. The brothers are
Amos Kemble of Muscatine, Rev. l. o.
Kemble of this city, S. S. Kemble Of
Rock Island, and X. X. Kemble or
Marshalltown. Wednesday was the
day of the formal reunion and dinner
and supper were enjoyed at the l. o.
Kemble and Will Kemble homes. Mr..
and Mrs. ]. D. Terrell, who had been
intimately connected with the KEN
bles at the old home place in Ohio,
were also members of the party.
Amos Kemble, who is we'll known
to the older residents of the county,
has known Oskaloosa and Mahaska
county since the days of the early
ffties. He came here when the coun-
ty was being organized and about
1852 lived in a log cabin that stood
about opposite of the old Robert Seey-
ers place southwest of the city. He
taught school in the old log school
house to the south and some Of the
old residents of the county of today
came to him as boys and girls. The
gentleman originated the business now
known as the Kemble Floral Company
of this city. He bought the land east
of the present green house site in
1S62 and the land now occuniad hY
the business two years later,
Mr.. Kemble has four sons, Kay, OF
Des Moines, John, of Muscatine, VIII
Of this city, and Charles. The gen.
tleman is hale and hearty and has a
live interest in the everyday affairs
of the world. The brothers predict
that they will be together to enjoy
many meetings similar to that OF this
week.

WATERMELONS FOR SAILORS
TREAT FOR MEN ON DUTY IN Do
MINICAN WATERS.
Fresh Meat and Vegetables as Reward
for Faithful Performance of oner-
GUS Duties by Fleet.

Washington, July 14.-The Columbia
has sailed from Monte Christi, San
Domingo, for San Juan, P. l. Some of
the marines aboard the ship who were
unacclimated, have suffered from the
low type of malarial fever at times
prevalent ON the Isthmus Of Panama,
and it was deemed desirable by Capt.
Switzerland, commander of the naval
forces in Dominican waters, to have
these men made comfortable in the
general hospital at San Juan, rather
than keep them aboard the Columbia
while the ship is engaged in the tedi-
Gus duty OF patrolling tn Dominican
coast.
The navy department has noted with
qualification the thorough and consci-
entfous manner in which the officers
and bluejackets and marines of this
Dominican feet have discharged their
onerous duty, and it is intended that
they shall be relieved at the earliest
possible momnt and ordered north,
where the men will have a good meas
IRE of liberty ashore
The state department has also been
pleased with the manner in which the
naval commanders have discharged
their semidiplomatic duties and with
the tact exhibited by them in avoiding
any friction with the rather unruly ma
tive classes when the ships were in
port.
So the navy department has decid-
ed to give the officers and bluejackets
a treat which they will appreciate,
while waiting for relief from their sta
ton. The big refrigerating ship
Glacier will sail from New York on
the 2Sth instant laden with good
things for the Dominican feet. There
viii be enough fresh meats to last tn
sailors two or three weeks, and all
sorts Of fresh vegetables and one in
stallmeut of $4,000 big watermelons on
ice.

CONDITION IN TRADE WORLD
HEAVY BUSINESS DONE BY THE
WHOLESALERS.
Favorable Crop Reports and Absence
of Adverse Factors Create Con-
fidence Among Merchants.

New York, July 14.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Midsummer conditions are more in
evidence than at any previous time this
season, although trade continues far in
excess of earlier years and prepara-
lions for fall and winter are undated.
Confidence is the commercial senti-
ment induced by exceptionally favora-
BILE crop reports and the absence of
any distinctly adverse factor. Whole
sale distribution is very heavy for this
period, and the majority of reports in
dictate satisfactorily prompt collections,
while at some points summer stocks
are being reduced by clearance sales.
Not only the leading industries, but
nearly all manufacturing undertake
ings, have orders assuring activity well
into the future, and scarcity of labor\is
still the chief complaint. Disputes as
to wages are practically settled at the
soft coal mines, and anthracite collier
les are resuming, the sliding scale CIV
ing hard coal miners an advance of one
per cent. in July. Evidences of the un-
eXcelled bushes during the fiscal year
just ended are found in every state
ment that appears.
Railroad earnings in June were 1913
per cent. larger than in 1905, and for
eign commerce at this port for the
last week shows an increase of 81, $685.
SS7 in imports and loss of S794, 622 in
exports as compared with last years
figures. Temporary ease in call money
did not weaken the quotations of time
loans, which reflect the expectation of
heavy shipments of currency to the in
terror for crop moving in the near flu
ture.
Many iron furnaces and steel mills
have resumed, after a brief season of
idleness for repairs, inventories and
settlement of wages scales, SO that the
production is once more very heavy.
Textile manufacturing conditions are
not materially altered.
Failures this week numbered 202 in
the United States, against 223 last
year, and 81 in Canada, compared with
26 year ago.

CLINTON IS WILLING.
River Town Ready to Take the
Boone Franchise.

Marshalltown, Ia, July 13.-Clinton
will in all probability purchase the
franchise of the Boone Base Ball as
ISOLATION in the Iowa league, and in
the meantime the league assumes man
agement of the team. Clinton has
made a written proposition to the
league offering four hundred and fifty
dollars for the Boone franchise.
The Boone association is in bad
way financially. 1ney are at .--e
present time six hundred and eighty
nine dollars to the bad, and this
amount is owed for the greater part
on the players salaries. The dlrec-
tors and the officers of the Boone as
ISOLATION have made every possible eff
fort to keep the team in the league
for the remainder of the season, but
utter failure of the support to meet
the expenses of the team results in
the retirement from the league. No
further funds are available.
The Boone team has been sent to
Fort Dodge for the series of three
games in place of Fort Dodge going
to Boone, as provided In the schedule,
and just what will be done thereafter
will be arranged in the meantime.
President Peckham was in Clinton
Thursday night and met with those
Of that city interested in the deal. He
finds Clinton red hot for the ball fran
chise and there is no doubt that the
transfer will be made Immediately.
Just how this will effect the playing
schedule is not known at this time.
Some transfers of games will be made
to cut down the mileage, but this will
cause none of the teams any great in
convenience.
