ROAST FOR GOVERNOR.

Dubuque, Ia, Nov. 25.-Rev. DIR.
Cady, leader of the Dubuque Temper
ance crusade, declared in a sermon at
the First Congregational church last
night, under the title, "Barbaric Daven-
port" that Gov. Cmumins had every
authority and right to stop the recent
prize fight. but failed in his purpose.
IF Cummins had wanted to enforce the
law he could have done it," said Rev.
Cady Meaningless rhetoric in plead
ing a lack of authority to Des Moines
ministers, over the enforcement of the
liquor laws may have fooled those di-
ines, but it doesn't those over the whole
state. Since the Haddock affair at

COAL TRADE REVIEW
CONDITIONS OF BUSINESS AZ
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL

Chicago, Nov. 23.-The Black Dia-
mond today says:
'..The car shortage and the labor
shortage have been removed from the
coal trade as factors. The only thing
which besets the market, as far as
Chicago is concerned, is the uncertain
ties as to the development in the fl
such vital Importance as to. give the
whole Chicago coal market an uncer-
tain tone for the time being
"The other, and possibly more inn
portant factor entering into the mar
ket is the weather. 1t is realized that
from the LIST of December throughout
the winter the coal market is deter
mined absolutely by weather condi-
tions. Regardless of industrial activ-
ity and regardless of other conditions
the stability of the market is deter
mined by the weather during the win
ter months. 1t is, of course, impossi-
BILE to say what these conditions will
be after the list of December. 1t is
realized, however, that warm weather,
continuing into December. the market
is going to be even lower than it is
now The sudden appearance of a
cold snap would almost naturally lead
to revival of buying. While, there
fore, the market is somewhat unsteady
because of the financial conditions it
is little soft on account of weather
conditions. Some low prices have
been accepted for smokeless mine-run
and even the Hooking market has
broken for the first time in six months.
Western Goals appear to be dull but
steady"

MINERS TAKE CHECKS
No Trouble Here Over Paying Only
Part in Cash.

Little trouble is reported at the
headquarters of the Iowa Mine Work
ers in this city resulting from the pay
ment of the miners for the past two
weeks work in part currency and ,-le
balance in check, in accordance with
the agreement of the operators meet
ing last week. The only district re,
fusing to accept the checks was near
Des Moines, and in only few cases
were the miners adverse to the paper.
President John P. White was call
to Des Moines to take up the matter
with the men and adjustment will fol
low Immediately. Mr.. White was
first called to Abba this morning
where he has, a number of affairs
needing attention. He will so to Des
Moines some time during the day.
On Saturday the employees in five OF
the mines in the Des Moines district
refused the half cash payment and il
was feared serious trouble would re
suit, but this morning two of The
mines reopened and as one of the 9th
er three is local mine where they
receive cash for their COAL it is pro
bable that they will be able to pay in
full without taking advantage of the
clearing house certificates. in the
other instances the part payment in
checks will not likely cause any trou
BILE. Secretary Edwin Perry, of Dist
13 u. M. w. A., said this morning that
he expected all miners would take vi
their work before the day is over, as
the miners in the southern district
around Abba and near this city and
all of the northern districts have &C
cepted the paper without murmul
and the cause of the stringency in the
money market is becoming quite gen
orally understood. l.+
Locally the miners paid no atten
ton to the checks. Frakerville min
ers were paid off in currency for the
whole two weeks period and the same
was done at several other places.
The presence of the checks in the
city Saturday gave the merchants
some idea of the extent of the miners
business. Almost every business
house received the paper and it was
gladly cashed or merchandise was
given in exchange. Some of the min
ers, more notably those of foreign
birth, do not understand the check
and prefer the ready cash, but as O
general thing the paper was as &C
ceptable as the coin would have been

FOOT BALL
Des Moines 6, oskaloosa o.

After fifteen minutes fast playing
Baird made the touchdown in a line
smash between 0sKaloosa's left tackle
and end after pretty forward pass
from Carlson to wilkins which adj
vanced the ball twenty-five yards for
East High. Carlson kicked goal and
scored the 9Th point.
The game started with Des Moines
kicking off from the north goal
against the wind Oskaloosa was ONLY
held for downs once durint; the first
half, but lost the ball twice on fun
bles as did also their opponents.
During far the greater part Of the
time the bal. was in Des Moinej' ter
ritory and Oskaloosa seemingly out
played their opponents on the often
sive, but the good Judgment and ex-
cellent kicking of Carlson scored val
liable gains for Des Moines. The for
ward pass was also well executed by
the East High team at several vital
points in the game. Neither side
were successful in smashing through
the center and most of the gains were
made outside of the tackles.
During the second half the ball was
carried near both goal lines when in
each case an attempt to drop kick
goal resulted in loss for the lead
ing side. nd a.
Sterrett distinguished himself in
his excellent tackling and Bradbury,
Wetherwax and Madison were also
good on the defensive. Johnson and
Ruby were successful in finding an
opening in the iDes Moines line and
made several long runs. Woodruff
also distinguished himself in play
ing center He9filled his position as
well as any man on the team. Carl
son was the Des Moines star winning
out in his we'll. executed kicks and
forward passes to wilkins and jaeger.
Both sides put up good defense and
the game wasyo clean. Both teams
were penalized for off side plays
The field was too heavy for fast play
ing, but the contest was pretty
throughout. ~

.CUBA'S POPULATION
ABOUT TWO MILLION
LITTLE INCREASE SHOWN IN THE
LAST TWO YEARS.
FIGURES ARE DELAYED
Serious illness Of Gomez May Affect
the Coming Eiections--New
Electoral Law Is Com
pleted.

Havana, Nov. 25.-With the compile
ton of enumeration of the population
of Cuba there has been accomplished
the first step in the direction of the
termination of the American inter
vention and the reestablishment of the
Cuban republic.
While officially described as CEN
sus, this enumeration was actually an
enforced registration of votes, the de-
termination of the population of the
island being of scant Importance COM
pared to that of registering all per.
sons entitled to the electoral fran
chise, in order to insure the purity of
the election of the next Cuban presi-
dent. No pains have been spared to
accomplish this, but pending the DIFF
ficult task of tabulating, the results
probably will not be known for some
weeks. Taking precedence of all other
features of the census is the prepare
ton of the registration lists by mu-
inequalities and wards. These natural
ly will be subject to much revision,
involving considerable delay.
Two Million Islanders.
An estimate by one of the most ac-
complished statisticians in the service
Of the provisional government places
the population of the island at 2,000,-
900, of which about 100000 are
foreigners not entitled to the franchise.
1t is improbable that the present
census will show any marked diff
ference in the figures for 1905. Ha-
vana, Santa Clara and Camaguey prov
inces were the liberal strongholds and
probably are now. They then con.
tanned about 100000 voters. The indi-
cations are that there has been no
great change in the political com
plexion of the provinces with the pos.
sible exception of Pinar Del Rio
where the influence of the Pine Geuer.
IA, the military leader of the last up.
rising, is very great.
Gomez Dangerously Sick. b..
An element that may prove to be
Of prime importance in the coming
election is the health of Jose Miguel
Gomez. 1t is rumored that the gen,
eral is afflicted with a dangerous all
ment which may compel his retire
ment from the field, in which event q
reconciliation of the Miguelista and
Zayista factions is not improbable.
Coincident with the completion oil
the enumeration is that of the new
electoral law on which the commits
sion, of which Col. Crowder is the
head, has been working for months
1t now only awaits the approval o.
Gov. Magoon before being promul
gated, so that if tranquility is main
tanned nothing stands in the way o.
carrying out the present program o.
government, which is to hold the
municipal elections in May or June
and the presidential election in the fol
| lowing December, thus paving tho
way for the Inauguration of the Cubar
president in May and the Withdrawal
of the American troops in July if con
ditions should then make it certain
that their presence was no Longer
