Cement Tile Factory.

One OF the busiest spots in indie
peudence just now is the factory of
the independence Tile and Block
company. This business has sprung
up here almost as if some good fairy
had waved her magic wand over the
vacant lots and 10, there appeared a
we'll built factory, teeming with life
and productive industry.
Less than two months ago the
idea OF organizing company to en-
gage in manufacturing cement tile
in Independence was conceived. To-
day as a result of that conception,
just across the tracks north OF the
Illinois Central Freight depot stands
a factory inside Of which 5000 per-
feet cement tile are being made ev-
cry day.
Those who have made careful
study Of the subject predict that ce-
ment tile will grow in popularity
until they entirely supplant clay
tile. They are stronger. are more
porus, more perfect in form and
therefore can be easily and rapidly
laid, and are absolutely frost proof
The Independence company has al.
ready booked many orders. The
use of tile is just beginning in this
part Of Iowa and the demand will
grow to enormous proportions
Their business promises to be Jim
tied only by the capacity of theil
factory. -Bulletin Journal.

That Bunco Cattle Buyer.

A couple Of weeks ago the Union
reported that a man who pretends
to want to buy cattle was operating
in the northern end of the county.
His method is to visit farmer near
night and say he wantst o buy some
cattle. He kills time and manages
to get invited to supper and for
nights lodging and breakfast the
next morning. But something
about the cattle or price don't suit
him and he proceeds on his travels
1t appears he had got as far as Belle
Plaine, atleast man who answers
his description very closely and who
also rides on horseback, just as the
man reported from the north end of
the county. was in Belle PLANE Sat
urday afternoon. He spoke to Sam
Ahrens about buying some cattle
and followed him out from town,
arriving at Mr.. Ahren's home about
shutdown. Mr.. Ahrens said it was
too dark to look at cattle and the cat
tie buyer suggested that the cattle
could be looked at in the morning.
Mr.. Ahrens said Tomorrow will be
Sunday and | will not sell cattle or
show them to you on Sunday
But the man persisted and asked
Can | put my horse in the barn?"
Mr.. Ahrens had read about the
of the man in the NORTH
end of The county. and it struck him
that possibly this was the same man

want to stay all night?' The man

H arriman's stock-Jobbing A Public
Menance.


A railroad company is, or at least
should be a common carrier Of
freight and passengers. 1t is an
artificial person created by law to
engage in that particular line of
business, and when it departs from
its legitimate business and becomes
a stock jobber as we'll as a railroad,
the interests of the public, includ-
ing the owners Of railway stocks,
are jeopardized by such double
dealing.
Mr.. Hartman mortgaged the In
ion Pacific for vast sums not need
ed by that railroad for any legiti-
innate purpose. Hartman wanted
the money to enable him to pur-
chase controlling interests in COM
peting systems like the Southern
Pacific and non-competing lines like
the Illinois Central and the Balti-
more and Ohio and he used them for
that purpose.
1t is quite safe to say that stock
holders Of the Union Pacific have
suffered q loss Of forty millions by
reason Of Harriman's use of their
money in the purchase Of stocks in
other railroads. Their losses are
easily computed. The depreciation
in the stocks purchased by Harri
man for the Union Pacific has been
fully 30 per cent since he made the
purchases and his manipulation Of
railway interests has done much to
discredit railway property and bring
about the present slump in prices.
Harrimans real troubles COM
menced by the theft and publication
Of one of his letters, in which lie
spoke ABOUT raising large yellow
dog fund at the personal request Of
President Roosevelt. This angered
Roosevelt, although the fact that the
fund was raised and used to carry
the state Of New York could not be
denied Hartman undoubtedly
supposed that he had purchased the
right to violate with IMMUNITY such
laws as interfered with his peculiar
business methods, and he had good
reason to so believe, but his letter
wade that kind of protection i'm
possible, and things have been
going bad with him ever since.

Iowa Is mistaken.

No state in the Union. says the
Davenport Democrat, is more free
from earthquake disturbances than
Iowa. History does not record any
serious el'uptions in this part Of the
country. But it is common know
ledge that vibrations have been felt
many times within a few years both
to the east and to the west Of us.
What is true of the earth is also
true of financial conditions all the
way from the Mississippi to the Mis-
souri, river. Indirectly there may be
some effect from prolonged money
stringency in the larger states Of the
East. But it cannot be Of a serious
nature. The people of Iowa cult
vate the land and the land produces
certain crops year after year. In
dustrial enterprises are conducted
in a conservative way and there is
probably in all the United States to
equal population where so few men
hazard their possessions on the
game of chance as it is played in
the stock market. Consequently
there will be financial shakes and
hard ones, before the average man
in Iowa knows from the result that
anything out Of the ordinary is GO
ing on. This is stated very clearly
by the Des Moines Register in The
following editorial extract:
Iowa is probably better off to
stand a money stringency than most
other states. Iowa produces sur
plus and a surplus that is staple.
The world cannot dc without Iowa.
Whether money is to be had for
anything else or not, it is to be had
for the food products Of Iowa. But
Iowa, no mere than any other state,
wants to see time Of settlement Of
the drastic sort, and Iowa will do
whatever is possible to stand off a.
general liquidation, But there is
nothing in sight to remind us of
1893. 1t is impossible that there
should be repetition now of the
desperate times of ID years ago.

pany to help tide it over shortage
in currency? No one of course ever
heard OF such u thing. But about
every so often the national treasury
has to go to the relief of Wall Street.
And this time after Wall Street had
secured the governments surplus
millions and had them locked up in
its vaults, and had also in its vaults
the deposits of nearly every bank in
the country, it fatty refused to part
with any of its currency, and is
continuing that highhanded policy.
This action on the part of the
Wall Street banks has disarranged
the business of the country and in
exchange for release of currency
In payment of its just demands,
Wall Street is making a new demand
upon the President.
These big successfully dishonest
operators say that they cannot part
with their stock of currency until
confidence is restored, and that the
President must issue a reassurina
statement which will produce that
result. The terms of this reassur.
ing statement have not been made
public, but it is reasonable to as
sumo that Wall Street wants thu

Present Financial Troubles Should Be
Short Lived.

The present financial furry is
due to the troubles of a small class
Of dangerously lawless men, who for
years past have intrenched them
selves against the law by procuring
mortgages on the different admins
trations in Washington in exchange
for tainted campaign contributions.
It begins to look as though these
men, who have been robbing the
public on gigantic scale for many
years. have their graft nearly work
ed out. They are like an ulcer on
the body polite and the patient
should improve rapidly after they
are cut out. They may kick and
struggle and rock the boat for lit
tie while, but if the surgeons go on
and do their work thoroughly, bust
ness will be all the better when it
is over.
When there is no more successful
dishonesty, no more sale Of grating
privileges and valuable monopolies
for campaign contributions, and no
more issuing of hundreds of millions
OF watered stock, every legitimate
business will improve
Conditions now are quite differ
