SETTLEMENT IS MADE.
No Lawsuit VIII Result from Street
Car Accident.

Much good feeling has resulted from
the action taken by the Oskaloosa
Traction & Light Co. in settling the
claim of j. E. Padgett for the street
car accident, which resulted in the
death of his wife and little daughter,
outside OF court. The claim was adj
justed Friday afternoon entirely sat
to all and while the price
paid has not been made public, 1t is
understood that a handsome money
consideration was turned over. Shan
gle & Gordon and John o. Malcolm
were attorneys for Mr.. Padgett, and
l.. G.. Blanchard for the street car
company. The management of the
street car company conducted them
selves in manner above reproach
from the time of the accident, and
while the collision with its fatal results
was regrettable affair, yet accidents
are sometimes unavoidable, and 1t
speaks well for the company, as well
as for the attorneys on both sides,
that an agreement could have been
reached as soon as 1t was, within fif-
teen days from the death of the lady
and her daughter.

moyal of the debris revealed another
pitiably mangled body For the dead
were terribly mutilated. Limbs were
torn off. torsoes smashed into shape
less pulp and worst Of all four OF the
victims were decapitated.
With the injuries OF the wounded
added, the ruins of the smoking car
were veritable shambles. the like of
which has not been known in Iowa
in years.
The whole scene was one Of frightful
wreck and ruin. The track had been
torn and twisted for hundred yards
and the cars We're ground into bits.
One of the victims of the wreck was
a man of considerable prominence in
Waterloo. This was B. b. Oliver, for.
merly exalted ruler OF the Waterloo
lodge of Elks.
A strange fate is that of Joseph
Newell, of Waterloo. He had been a
railroad and passenger conductor on
the Central for twenty years and had
never before been hurt.

ING WILL BEAT RECORDS.
Encampment In Chicago to Be the
Greatest the World Has
>, Ever Seen.

Chicago, Sept. with the Chica-
go grand encampment Of the Knights
Templar of the United States three
years distant. 1t is the purpose of the
members Of the subordinate command
cries of this city to make the gather
Ing Of Knights Tempiar In 1910 the
greatest the world has even seen. Tho
members took steps to this end FRI
day. They propose to assemble 10O,-
900 members of the order with their
families-in all, to bring to the city
at least a quarter of million people.
To this end the local communicates
are resolved to hustle" In the true
Chicago fashion. That the achieve
ment is susceptible of accomplishment
is argued from the results Of past con.
claves. Chicago already holds the
record for bringing together the larg-
est representation Of the grand COM
manderies Of this country, the en-
campment In 1880 having set the pace
for all subsequent events.
Since that date many sections of the
country have been visited. among
them being San Francisco, Denver,
Boston. Pittsburg, Louisville and Sar.
atoga, the conciave being held trien.
nially, but the record set by the Con-
vention City still stands.
Since no other section has proved
strong enough to cap this city's per-
Torrance, Chicago now proposes to
break its own record and set pace
so speedy that 1t will not be equaled
for many decades to come.
The members who meet again soon
and name committees and map out
the campaign to be followed will be
the same ones who organized the
movement which captured the 1910
conclave for this city against powerful
opposition. A. F. Schoch, grand COM
mander Of Illinois, is chairman, and
John D. Cleveland, grand captain gen.
eral, Is secretary.

TRAINMEN DISCHARGED.
Conductor and Engineer On Iowa Gen.
trial Are Let Out.

Marshalltown, Ia, Sept. 9.-As re-
suit of the investigation of the recent
Iowa Central wreck at Sheffield, when
the night passenger, No. 5, ran into
the rear end of extra No. 80. south,
resulted in Conductor Ed Hayes and
Engineer Charles Rogers of the freight
crew being taken out of the service.
An unofficial rumor is to the effect that
the dispatcher who gave the orders
has been discharged for not allowing
the freight train more time against the
passenger. Credence is given to this
by reason of statement made by
Trainmaster Mccarthy before the in
vestigation was held, which was to
the effect that the blame would doubt
less be divided and that the dispatcher
figured In the blame.

COTTON MADE ANOTHER
JUMP OF $3.50 A BALE
Excited Market on RumorS of
a Corner.
LONGS THEN TOOK PROFITS

New York. June s. The price of
cotton for delivery in July made anoth-
er upward jump on tn e opening of the
New York Cotton Exchange today. and
within half an hour advanced $50 a
bale. This placed the price of the
July option S375 a bale higher than
the. low price of yesterday morning.
Trading which carried the July cotton
to 12.25c a pound so early in the day
was active and excited and the price
was sent soaring at the rate of 3 or >
points for each sale recorded. Rumors
that a group of English and American
Interests have cornered the July option
caused most of the activity. Trad
dng in theoptions of later months was
easy at slight advances.
After the early advance the cotton
market became quiet and the July op-
ton lost most of its gain under profit
taking by short interests, the price re-
Ceding to lie pound. The market
closed firm at a net advance of = to
points Sales were estimated at 300,-
600 bales.
Spot closed steady: middfing upIands
13.25c; middling gulf, 1880; no sales
