BRAKEMAN KILLED
 BY AN ENGINE

ALBUKUERQUE Oct. I0.-A grue- l some find was that made by the host
 Ter. who started the engine of train No. from the local roundhouse last night when he discovered the terribly mangied body of Brakeman Frank F.. Whitaker, in the bottom of the pit where it evidently had been lying for some time. In some unaccountable
 manner Whitaker, who was one of the Santa Fe's well known employees roundhouse during the evening and here, had been run down by one of the engines which backed into the roundhouse during the evening and had probably met with instant death as his injuries seem to indicate that such must have been the case.
 The remains were at once removed to the office and shortly afterward to the undertaking establishment of F. Fl. Strong where an examination was made and it was discovered that the mans neck was broken, the skull fractured. the left arm and both legs badly crushed. besides numerous min or injuries.
 A premonition of his death it ap- pears, had been received by the un- fortunate man shortly before his death by means of a letter received from his aunt, Mrs. T. NJ Du Weiss, of Lo- gansport. Ind. in which she plead with him Co give up his railroad work and return to his home. his friend, Charles Graves of that town, who was serving in like capacity having recently been killed and she feared that he might meet a like fate. This letter was found on Whittakerss person this morning together with membership cards in the Fraternal Order of Eagles of Logansport, and the Broth erhood of Railway Trainmen, of Dan vile, H., a letter of recommendation as stenographer and bookkeeper from an Indiana business college and a pos tai card from young lady whose pict- ure in pocketbook was also found. From this correspondence and from friends of the deceased it was ascer- tained that Whitaker was a man of

COPPER MARKET
 SHOWS IMPROVEMENT.

According to information coming from the east the copper market is improving slightly. Prices are being maintained at 1514 censs per pound for lake; and l5 cents for electrolytic. Al though practically all of the recent buying has been for immediate deliv- cry, consumers thinking it better to pursue the hand to mouth policy for the present. the mining companies have actually sold more copper during the past three weeks than they have produced. One of the farges; produc- ing interests says that his companies will clean up every pound of their sur plus accumulation in sixty days pro vided the market continues as good as it has been for a few weeks past. He thinks there is likely to be still farther improvement.
 One Of the largest consumers in the trade says he is satisfied that the price of ooppeA is of ne bottom. He is impressed by &0t Sry large curtatl- ment of production afd feels sure that this cannot fail tT SustSIn me maT&eI, Sentiment in the trade is very much improved. He thinks consumers are quite well satisfied that the present price will be maintained. While busi. ness has not increased materially as yet, he thinks an easier money market will bring in lot of new orders.
 The production of the Butte district which noninally is 2s,00e,O0O pounds monthly, only slightly exceeded il ,900,- 900 pounds in September The output of thes Blsbee district has been re- duced considerably already, and this month will, be only about one-haIf what it was in June and JCly. The custom smeIters everywhere are re ducing their treatment of copper ores. The osceoIa and other BigeIow minesj at Lake Superior are curtaIling their output Two or taree mines are closed down in Utah. The voluntary | reduction. together with that forced | by fuel shortage and labor troubles. Is believed to aggregate fully 20 per cent of the worlds normal production.

Speaking of the low price of Greene, Cananea stock Iron Ore has this to say: "Greene-Cananea at $S.5O per share allows absolutely nothing for the great mines of the company. The actual cash in the treasury and the value of the mine equipment amounts to more than the value of the proper ty as based upon present quotations. It Is admitted that the company has wdnderfnI deposits of ore. No one questions the correctness of this state -ment. It has 20.OoO acres of mineral land, many miles of railways. immense deposits of ore that will last for more fhan a hundred years. modern coneen- trating mills. smelters, and owns much of the buildings and realty of the town of cananea. If ever anything present. ed a bargain it is Greene Cananea at prices now current"

DOUGLAS CLEARING AWAY RARNACLES.
International-American.J )

(lnternationaLAmer
 Since Douglas year ago undertook to clear itself of the fungus that had attached itself to the city through op- en and unrestrained gambling, and did accomplish that excellent result to a large extent, closing at that time the games that held out the greatest allurement to the public, it is well that every form of public gambling has been prohibited, which is the eff feet of the legislation just enacted by the city council. making it prohibitive on the saloon keeper to permit poker playing about his premises. With the greater form of the evil gone no reas- on existed why the lesser form should be permitted. The one victory for civic cleanliness was the hamburger of the later one and the death knell to public poker playing was sounded when its bigger and more vicious brother vice, the percentage game, was legislated out of existence. In this there is a lesson for those who make the laws of cities. Once get started along the right line and gain the initial victory, which is always the hardest one, with later results prov ing the correctness Of the policy inaug- nrated. and it is easy to get through laws that are deemed well for the community later on. The truth of this is seen in the fact that when the legis- | Iation to eliminate poker playing was a few days since no one l came forward to defend it. Those who ] would have liked for it to remain le- galized knew the futility of taking a public stand against the proposed law | and the absolute folly of fighting it.
 All forms of public gambling done | away with in ore year in a city where in the beginning it was firmly on. trenched is a brilliant record for and sanms- tn -noint to still other achievements for the better ment of public morals and public wei fare.

DOPE PEND CARRIES
 OFF JEWELRY STOCK

| GLOBE, Oct. 10.-Some time late l Saturday night nr carly Sunday mnrh, ing the store of the Globe Jewelry l company was entered by a burglar who made away with about $500 worth
 of jewelry. Early Tuesday afternoon
 the burglar was captured and it is be | lieyed that all Of the stolen goods have been recovered. l.. s. Hodges is | the man arrested. Ee is a dope-fiend
 of the worst kind and it was an "over- shot of morphine that was responsi- ble for his arrest. He Is at present occupying a rell in the county jail 1 with his wrists and ankles manacled 1 to prevent doing himself bodily i'm jury until he recovers from the ef-- fects of an overdose of morphine. About noon Officer Peterson was notified that there-was a crazy man in room at the Webster house. He had Officer Dick Lowthian go with him to the house, where they found Hodges under the influence of drugs to such an extent that he was, tenn porarily at least, demented No suspi- cion was attacfied to him as being the burglar for whom all of the county and city officers were searching until Hodges in an incoherent manner spoke of the burglary. He was asked whether he had broken into the jew elry store and he answered that he had

 A five minutes search of the room revealed the presence of forty-two gold watch chains, over 150 gold lock cts. watch fobs and lodge emblems, a dozen ladies' gold necklaces, foun- tain pens, new razors and a large quantity of cooked" opium and it was evident that Hodges had just used the instrument. A quantity of. cigars was also discovered. Hodges was taken to jail with considerable effort on the part of the officers. as he was inclined to Ee violent
 From the large quantity oe drugs and cigars found in Hodges room the officers concluded that drug store had also been robbed and a canvass of the pharmacies was immediately made. The cigars were identified by Manager M. E.

LOW PRICES SHOULD STIMULATE DEVELOPMENT.

STIMULATE DEVELOPMENT.
 When prices are high is the time |,
 push production. but period of low
 prices should be period of develop
 ment, says Ores and Metals. wheI
 the demand for metals is urgent an,
 buyers are willing to give anything
 within reason, the operators of {
 mine are fortunate if they can increase
 their output to take advantage of the
 situation. Their larger income will
 more than compensate for the greater expense thy are under for supplies and labor; but a period of high prices and high wages is not the best time for development Mine making can be undertaken to the greatest advantage during a period of low wages and low prices.
 A house built when building mater ials are cheap and wages are low in the building trades. will bring in just as much rent as house built under less favorable conditions: and conse- quently it will yield a larger income on the money invested. What is true of houses is true of mines. Mine mak- ing comes properly under the head of construction. When competent miners can be obtained easily. when equip ment and supplies are cheap, is the time to open and develop ore bodies.
 Whether the project be great or small. the time for construction, theo- retically at least, is the period follow ing a hard panic. If the project is large the time chosen may mean the saving or loss of millions. In the use of the reclamation fund by the govern ment. there has. perhaps, been too much haste. The fact that actual cost of construction has been far more than estimated cost is due, in a large measure, to the high wages and high prices that have prevailed during the last few years. In this case the home steader is the investor. and the extra expense falls ultimately upon him Probably few would advocate stopping all work on great projects of national improvement during period of high prices; but it would seem to be good policy, and it would help to equalize hard times and good times, if the greater part of construction.
 As with the large, so with the small, project If the small investor and his associates are going to put their mon- ey into the development of a prospect into mine, they will make it go farther and stand a better chance of success if they begin their undertak- ing during a period of low prices. In this way, if they make a mine, they will make it at the lowest possible cost. Then, too, the period of produc- tion following the period of develop ment would very likely be coincident with a period of high prices, and the mine would begin shipping under the most favorable circumstances.
 When copper is twelve cents pound is a most excellent time to start in making a copper mine, for the chances are that other supplies and labor will be correspondingly low. On the other hand, when copper is twen- l ty-fye cents a pound, the energy of | he operator should be devoted to pro i iuction. In other words, the extent | o which development should be kept | lhead of production depends very | much on financial condIuons, anu ImU | general state of the market

Death Of Mrs. Myers.

The friends OF Mrs. William Myers
of Viola were shocked last Friday To
hear OF her sudden death. True she
had been sick for week or two from
sore hand from blood poison, but
nothing serious had been feared; and
we understand that her death came
not from this cause but from sudden
and fatal attack OF pneumonia.
Mrs. Myers maiden name was Miss
Mary Northup daughter Of Nathaniel
and Harriet Northup and Il sister of
the sheriff Of this county. She was born
in Iowa county and came here with
her parents twenty seven years ago.
Her death occurred on Friday March
i, 1907 at the age Of Al years, IL
months. She leaves husband and
five children, the eldest about nine
years OF age and the youngest but ten
months old. Also her aged mother
and six brothers and three sisters. A
brother from Adams county and a
brother and sister from Nebraska
came to attend the funeral. One
brother in Nebraska and sister al
Spokane, were not able to be here.
The funeral services we're conducted
from the home by Rev. Mr.. Hayes OF
Gray and the burial took place in
Maple Grove Cemetery in Audubon
Sunday afternoon.

KANKAKEE, ILLINOIS, FEBRUARY
2O-There is rejoicing in IKankakee
over three thousand sinners repentant
as the harvest of Evangelist Billy y
Sunday, and the most prominent of
the stray lambs gathered in is ex-
State Treasurer Len Small. The IA
nous politician, who had gone to just
four meetings, marched bravely to the
mourners' bench, accompanied by his
wife and son, Leslie Small, and there
wasn't one person in the great taber-
nacle, where over six thousand people
were congregated, who did not feel
like shouting hallelujah in fourteen
volumes. There wasn't q church or q
building in the city large enough to
hold fifth of the crowds so q great
wooden and tarred paper tabernacle,
holding six or seven thousand people,
was erected on the corner across from
the postoffice at cost of 100000. 1t
has been filled every night and when
Len Small came into the fold they
turned away more than thousand,
although hundreds Rugged tho sides
of the aisles of the monster structure.
The people have raised S6,000.0 90 for
Sunday, and every one says he's
worth the money. Rev. w. A. Sunday
has gone to Murphysboro, Illinois, TO
begin another meeting in tabernacle
after which he will come to Fairfield,
Iowa, and start big meeting.
