EFFIE CALDW
Gets DIVORCE
CUSTODY OF CHILD DIVIDED BE
TWEEN BOTH MOTHER AND
FATHER.

Judge D. NJ. Anderson today render
ed his decision in the Caldwell
divorce case by giving the plaintiff,
Mrs. Eff1e Caldwell, divorce. The
custody of William, the 4-year-old son
is vested in both the mother and the
defendant, Herbert Caldwell, each
having charge of the child half the
time. The costs Of the suit is divided
half and half between the plaintiff and
defendant.
No Mud Singing.
The case occupied the attention of
the court for two days during which
time no disparaging evidence was in
troduced by either side. The ques-
ton simmered down to the mere fact
that the plaintiff desired divorce
and the defendant was willing that
she should have it but did not desire
that their son should be given over
entirely to its mother.
Mr.. Caldwell came all the way
from Texas where he is at work rail
reading to contest the case SO that the
custody of the child would not be
placed entirely in the hands of the
plaintiff.

STRUCK BY train;
DIES INSTANTLY
w. H. LAMM OF AMBoY, IND, VIC
TIM OF TRAGIC DEATH AT
FAIRFIELD.

Fairfield, Oct. 21.-Lying face down
and still warm, the body of an elderly
man. believed to be W. H. Lamm of
Amboy, Indiana, was found yesterday
morning at o'clock near the Bern
hart station, by the engineer of an
east bound freight A coroner's jury
Sunday afternoon returned verdict
to the effect that the man was struck
by moving train, although in what
manner is not known. The jury also
decided that 1t was neither able to fix
the responsibility for the death OF to
exonerate.
There is little mystery connected
with the death as there is no traces
beside the track as to where he was
hit or which way he was thrown. His
toe lay in small furrow two inches
deep which he had evidently made
by dragging his foot. His nose was
mashed into his face, his scalp lacey
ated, his right cheek cut just below
the cheek bone and his right arm and
shoulder as mere pulp. These
wounds are supposed to have been
| sufficient to cause DEATH
Lamm was about 65 years of age,
had gray hair and beard. He was five
| 1eeC nine 1ncneS IN nelgnC ana was
| blind in his right eye. Among other
things in his pocket was bottle with
a label from an Ottumwa drug store
| showing that he was working east
He had been seen in the neighborhood
of Bernhart Saturday night
In an account book which was
! found on his person were the names
of several persons in Missouri anf
| Indiana all of whom were notified oil
| his death in the hope that the body
4 will be claimed.

the ascensions will be made. The plot
is at the eastern end of the park. It's
height makes the selection good one
for aeronautics, as it is far removed
from wires and smokestacks that
might interfere with the fight.
The ballooning ground proper Is
about 100 yards wide by ITO yards long
and is enclosed by a fence Of wire net
ting. Twenty feet inside this fence is
still another wall Of netting, this inner
court being reserved exclusively for
the aeronauts and contest officials.
Through the center of the inner court
runs a twelve inch gaspipe from a
gasometer with capacity of 100000
cubic feet, one of the largest In the
world. All the dead grass has been
burned away from the slopes of the
hills leading up to the grounds. that
a chance spark may not in few
moments destroy many thousands OF
dollars worth of valuable property
and prevent the great race. AS a
further safeguard rules have been
made to prevent any one from smoking
near the Enclosure.
Test Balloon is Sent up.
A test balloon, sent up at sunset was
whirled away on twenty-five mile
wind in direction just west of south
This is the first balloon in months
which has taken this course, and the
aeronauts tonight predict that Mexico
will be the goal il prevailing atmos
pheric conditions continue. The latest
word from the weather bureau, how
ever. is prediction Of variable winds
the most discouraging weather a bal
loon mas to deal with.

Based upon these views also, there is disposition to believe that the crest of the present prosperity movement has been seen. It is. however, worth recalling that pre- ciictions somewhat similar to the above were made at this date year ago. One thing, however, Is certain so far as orders booked and goods sold are con cerned-the first half of 1907 is abso- iutely secure. Beyond this the course of events will be largely shaped by the prospects and outturn of the crops of

 New Orleans. Feb. 21.-A better Liver pool than expected showing five to six points advance in futures against three points due and larger spot sales the total being l2,oo0 at three points higher, sup ported the reaction which started yester. day in the American markets. Opening five to six points higher, It soon became eN- ident that March longs had pretty well all transferred into later months, and shorts prompted also by the approach of three advance. This is notice day here. but there were only few tenders issued. Anyhow, most of the future interest here is in some way linked with spots, and the outside inter est being so small, notice day here is not of the speculative and manipulative import ance as in New -ork.
 Rumors continue to come from t,"" are finding a good deal of consideration that leading people there will absorb ten ders and advance the market after notice day.
 The spot market is quiet but steady. Bet ter feeling prevails since the March liquid ation in futures appears settled and the principal hedge markets are steady. The into sight for the week looks like 309,O0o Vs. 209 2ST last year, and 1b5,71S in 1905.
 Futures maintained the advancing tend ency during the afternoon principally ow- ing to the strength of near positions In New York. It looks as if leading capital there was not even waiting for notice day to carry out intentions to a short soueeze tnti- mated by recent rumors. Demand for spots became active as the day progressed but was readily met by holders at quotations. Owing to clearances from outside ports, the into sight for the week now points to about 32O.o00.
