THE OLD SETTLERS.
Pioneer Residents Of Mahaska Coun-
ty in Reunion To-day.

With the exceptionally chilly wealth.
er the only unwelcome harbinger OF
the day, the annual meeting of the Ma
haska County Old Settlers convened
at the University Park this morning
The attendance is fully up to the ex-
pectations of the committee and repre-
sentatives are present from every
township in the county. A good pro-
gram has been prepared, and with the
beautiful surroundings of the loca-
tion and large attendance, the re-un-
ion is as successful in every way as
any that has been held by the asso-
citation in late years.
Two of the prominent speakers OF
the day were unable to be present, but
the program has been well filled and
Father J. II. Renihan of this city made
the principal address in the afternoon,
as had been announced. This morn
ing the communication which w. s.
Kenworthy received from Hon.
Geo. w. Sewers was read in ex-
PLANTATION of the cause of his absence.
He was to have made one of the ad-
dresses of the day, but having been abb
sent from his Office considerably on
account of the late illness and death
.of his son Paul, and because of the
many railroad rate cases which have
been called in court on this date, and
of which he has charge for the Iowa
Central, he was compelled to send his
regrets.
Letter From Col. Swain.
The following letter was also read
from Col A. W. Swain, from whom
no word had been received until today.
Mr.. Kenworthy had sent an urgent in
yitation to him at New York to be
present at the old settlers meeting,
but he evidently did not stop Mt that
city long, for his reply was received
from Des Mones and reads as follows:
Des Moines, Sept 3, 1907.

untangling myself since yesterday at
ternoon and find so many engagements
made that | cannot do myself the

ELEVEN BOODLERS FACE

District Attorney Jerome Certain That
He Will Send Some Hearst Al.
derman Up the River

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE eleven
Municipal league aldermen mentioned
in the bribery case of William Cliff
ford, charged with taking $4,000 for
the delivery of eleven votes for Judge
Cowing for recorder, spent another
day of torture before the grand jury.
Conflicting and confusing statements
are said to have been made by the
aldermen expected to "squcal" and
make known the details OF the alleged
plot.
District Attorney Jerome is con
vlnced that two of the aldermen were
connected with the supposed plot to
sell their votes and possibly two
more were involved. Jerome said
that probably the others knew moth
ing of the matter. The District Attor
ney said today that before the grand
jury was through he was sure enough
evidence would be cleaned to send one
or two aldermen to Sing Sing.
David Mann, the friend of Clifford
who acted as stakeholder of the twelve
marked $500 bills, was again under
examination by District Attorney
Jerome. Mann has now admitted
Clifford told him he was, to keep the
money and give It to him later, or tc
the ten aldermen ut such time ant

Speculative Sentiment was Much

(By Associated prcsBl

NEW YORK, Jan. 1.-THE duh
and heavy tone which prevailed for
most of the day In the stock market
seemed to be due to sympathy with
the continued weakness in n handful
of stocks. There was nothing like
the general weakness which de.
] Veloped yesterday at any time dur
ing the day. The general list
moved narrowly throughout. There
was dip along the whole line
when any special weakness would
develop at some special point and
an appearance OF reslliency In the
intervals OF liquidation in few
| stocks. The hesitating and incon.
slant movement of the market kept
speculative sentiment much confus-
ed.
But the belief gained ground to-
day that there were special causes
affecting the stocks which suffered
most acutely in Yesterdays decline
having to do more with the specu-
lative position in the market than
with the financial affairs of the com.
panies.
Yesterdays sinister differences of
an inception of stock market
struggle between financial giants
gave place today to an alternative
belief that the crippled speculation
activities OF smaller Importance were
involved. Aside from these special
incidents in the market developments
were favorable. The banks contin-
ued to gain heavily from the SUBJ
treasury, the amount for THE week
rising by today's statement to 6S,-
