Receives Unanimous Call.

When DR.. Conybeare received an
invitation from the officials of the
Central Park Presbyterian church at
Cedar Rapids to come and fill the
pulpit with view of becoming its
pastor, he said he would 20 and spend
a Sabbath with them but positively
not as a candidate for the place. Yet
a few days ago after his return home
he received letter announcing that
at meeting of the officials and mem-
bership they had voted TO extend to
him q unanimous call to accept the
pastorate. This action of the church
at Cedar Rapids is high compliment
TO the Doctors ability and puts the
matter into such shape that he must
accept or decline The field is an in
viting one in the residence part OF one
of the finest cities in the state. Though
the building and membership at pre-
sent are not any larger than the one
in Audubon, the outlook and the
possibilities seem very flattering. The
location is near Coe College at which
Mr.. Couybeare's son graduated last
spring and which also granted him u
degree at that time. DR.. Conybeare
is highly pleased with his pastorate
here and dislikes to think OF going
away, yet he considers the place in
Cedar Rapids very inviting field and
we may add that il seems an oppor-
tunity he cannotref without sincere
regret.

BIG SALES OF FURNITURE.
The Cash Store Breaks all Records
 in This Line.

Observing considerable activity at the Cash Store in the delivery of furniture recently, the Star on inquiry learned from Mir. Adkis- son that they had done all un- usually large business this week the sales for furniture being over Sl ,600.
 Mr. Addison stated that these sales was due to the fact that he had large assortment and big quantity on hand and gave the right prices, also that he let the people know these facts through the Star.
 This is certainly a fine business and undoubtedly the largest sale of furniture ever made in Mena in one week.

 First Day of the Fair.

According to a list of dates issued by the chairman of the Republican state central com mittee, Hon. John I. Worthino. ton, Republican nominee for governor, is billed to speak at this place on Thursday, Augus 10th, which is the first day of tbe fair.

Cost of Living Advancing.
From Kansas Jity Star.

From Kansas Jty Star.
 It is said that government officials have been surprised to discover, according to statistics soon to be made public, that the cost of living advanced greatly in 1905 without a corresponding advance in wages. Why this surprise ? It is nothirg new. In the present era of material pros- perity the cost of living has steadily advanced more than the volume of fixed income-not so- called wages merely, but wages and salaries combined. And if the truth could be stated in fg- ures 1t would be seen that in the present year prices have continued to advance even above those of 1905, and again without cor responding increase in incomes. And why be puzzled about the causes ;? They are plain enough. Almost everything that enters into the cost of living IS subject to trust manipulation of some kind. The people pay tribute to criminal organization in the puu- chase of nearly everything tley eat, drink, wear or use in the building or furnishing of their homes. The cost of living is not mystery.

HARTMAN NOT IN CONTROL
Of the Kansas City Southern, said Presi- dent Edson, Answering an Inquiry at
 Beaumont.

Beaumont, Texas, July 26.- President J. A. Edson of the Kansas City Southern spent last night and the greater part of to- day in Beaumont. MT. Edson will probably be in this section a few days longer, as be is looking into the matter of improvements of the property between Beau mont and Port Arthur, as well as the terminals of the road Tn both places.
 He was asked last night about the reports in relation to the Hartman interests buying up the Kansas City Southern, and stated that he had never heard of the rumor until he landed in Beau mont and that it was all news te him.
 He said there was positively nothing to the story, and tha' the interests owning the kansa: City Southern were too wei
 pleased with their holdings tt think of giving it up 10 anyone Mr. Edson says that since h. came to this territory he can se'
 how the rumor could be givel
 credence, but that no one hat
 ever heard 1t whispered outsid
 of this territory.

HUSBAND AND WIFE SHOT.
Mrs. H. A. Leaptrot Killed, Leaptrot
 Seriously Wounded by Unknown

Wynne, July 26.-Near Cherry Valley, ten miles north of here, last night Mrs. H. A. Leaptrot was shot and instantly killed, and her husband, H. A. Leaptrot was seriously wounded by un- known assassins. Leaptrot and the members of his family were sitting on the front porch of their home. Some unknown men, supposed to be three in number, rode to the front gate and fired into the party on the porch with the result as stated.
 The authorities have been working today to trace the as- sassins, and they arrested at Vanndale, about four miles from the scene of murder, four Wool bright brothers, who are charged with being implicated in the as- sassination. Later, however, three of the men were released, as there was no evidence on which to hold them.

.DEFES f COURTS ORDERS
Mayor Tom L. Johnson, ofCleveiand O., Tears Up Street Railway
 CompanY's Tracks.
IS CONTINUATION OF CHEAP FARE WAR
When Served With Injunction Issued py Judge Ford, of the Common fieas Court, the Mayor Placed Document III His Pocket and Told the Workmen to Proceed With Their Labors.

Cleveland, July The Municipal Traction company, recently organizeo to construct and operate a number O. street car lines in this city on three cent fare basis, began war on the Cleveland Electric railway company Wednesday by suddenly putting force of 500 men at work tearing up the tracks of the latter company Ill Fulton street Mayor Johnston who IS credited with being largely interested in the Municipal Traction company was personally on the ground, as was also Chief of Police Kohler and large number of officers. Within short time more than quarter of mile of track had been torn up. Officials of the Cleveland Electric Railway con- pany said they would apply for an in junction at once.
 Mayor Johnson said the action was taken because the Cleveland Electric Railway company refused, or neglected to comply with council resolution re quiring it to take up it's tracks Jn
 Fulton street and remove then to the east side of the street.
 Subsequently, the mayor stated thai the tracks were being removed by city employees under the supervision of the
 board of public service and not by the Municipal Traction company, as had
 at first been generally believed | Judge Ford, in common pleas court granted an injunction restraining the city and the Municipal Traction com.
 pany from further interfering with
 the tracks of the Cleveland Electric i Railway company in Fulton street The Cleveland Electric Railway com. papy declared the action of the city fl
 granting the right to tear up the | tracks was violation of it's franchise rights.
 The injunction was served upoF
 Mayor Johnson personally as he was
 overseeing the work of tearing up the tracks He acknowledged the service
 and put the document in his pocket
 but told the men to proceed with theil
 work and ignore the courts order Quite a large amount of work re-
 mained to be done when the injunc- | ton was served.
 Attorneys for the Cleveland Electric
 Railway company drew up petition t
 Mdge Ford asking that Mayor Johnson | be cited before the court to answer te the charge of contempt. The work oi tearing up the track of the Cleveland Electric company in Fulton stree
 was completed shortly after noon ant
 preparations were at once begun tC lay the tracks of the Municipal Stree
 Railway company in that thorough fare.
 Judge Ford late Wednesday after
 noon issued a citation against Mayor Johnson requiring the latter to appear
 in court Thursday morning to show
 cause why he should not be punished
 for contempt in violating the restrain
 Ing order of the court.
