DONATION TO HOSPITAL.
Local Miners Make Contribution to
Building Fund.

That the miners of this section are
interested in the proposed oskaloosa
hospital was shown by the action of
Local Union No. 81 of the United
Mine Workers of America at their
meeting Friday night. By unanimous
vote the union subscribed S25 to the
hospital building fund, notwithstand-
ing the fact that several members
have already made individual SUD-
scriptions. This gift from the miners
is appreciated by the soliciting COM
mittee and knocks another big corner
off of the $3.50 that stands between
our people and the building. A few
more donations like that and the build
ing will be assured this fall.

FALL TRADE HAS
MUCH IN PROMISE
BUSINESS CONDITIONS coNTIN-
uE TO IMPROVE.
A NEW. RECORD FOR CROPS.
Fewer Failures in United States Dur
ing Week Than During Same
Period Year Ago-Fu-
ture Prospects Good.

New York, Aug. 25.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review Of Trade, says;
Wall street provided the only inn
portant development in the business
situation during the past week, prices
Of securities rising within an average
Of two dollars per share of the high
record established last January, while
the general public became interested
to an extent that lifted money rates
for all periods to the legal maximum.
Trade reports indicate wholesome
activity, with no evidence of reaction
even those industries that are of ne
cessity quiet at this season contribut-
ing to the general confidence by re-
ports of large orders in sight.
Factories Resume Work.
AS the vacation season draws to an
end there is a general resumption of
idle machinery, and, with the opening
of many new furnaces, all records of
iron production will be surpassed in
the fall. Yet steel mills will require
all the material that can be furnished.
This is typical of the situation in all
leading branches of industry.
Jobbing fall trade is opening brisk
ly, 1862 buyers registering in the New
York market alone in a single day.
Owing to a few exceptionally large
undertakings last year in this city, the
total value of all building permits is
sued in July was slightly smaller than
a year ago, but outside of New York
there was a heavy increase.
Crops Beyond Danger.
Crops are now almost beyond dan
ger, and their movement is becoming
a difficult traffic problem. Railway
earnings in August show an average
gain of 1916 per cent. over last years
figures, while foreign commerce at
this port for the last week provided
gains of s2,275,69 in imports and ST.
446,521 in exports as compared with
1905.
Bradstreet's Report.
Bradstreet's report follows in part:
Fall trade has still further expand
ed; buyers are in all leading markets
in large numbers and are operating
freely despite temporary checks
caused by hot or rainy weather. The
same is largely true of Industrial OPP
erations, which go forward with a
steadily increasing volume of output
and with available capacity in leading
lines booked far ahead. This latter
condition is perhaps best illustrated
by reports from the iron and steel and
cotton goods industries, which are in
a very strong position, with prices
tending upward and mills pushed to
meet demands for delivery.
Record Yield of Corn.
Crop reports are still favorable for
record yield Of corn, heavy spring
wheat out turn, and cotton crop next
to the largest ever gathered being in
sight.

States for the week ending August 20,

MINES and MINING.
Resume of what is Going on at the
Various Camps

A persistent rumor is heard among
local coal men to the effect that John
Smith, who operated the Spring Creek
Coal Company field east of this city
a number of years, has secured an OPP
ton on a field of five hundred or
more acres lying about four miles to
the north OF Knoxville, in Marion
county, and will open up the same in
case he can make a satisfactory con-
tract for the building of suitable
railway connection for an outlet for
the product. The Herald has as yet
been unable to verify the rumor, but
it is known that Mr.. Smith has been
about the state in all directions en-
deayoring to secure new location
since the closing of the Spring Creek
mines April first of this year.

az it may. the practice seems to be quite
EN- reggie in the house Of commons. And
as the present house, which Is new in
more ways than one, Il following the
fashion faithfully, The practice must be
contagious and very soon caught.
Probably the fashion had its origin
in the desire Of the members Of parlia-
