Bradstreet's Trade Review.

New York, Oct. 2s.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say:
Retail trade still reflects the !nflu-
ence of warm weather and the ap-
proach Of election breeds conservatism
as regards heavy buying and the
projection Of new enterprises. How
ever, there is more doing and more
confident buying Of raw material by
manufacturers, who apparently fore
cast change for the better in the
latter part Of this year or the early
part Of next.
Effects Of the drought are shown
In almost total suspension Of steam
boat traffic on the Ohio river and its
tributaries by holding up OF large
quantities Of coal along that stream

fires and the low stage Of water sup

ment. While jobbing trade is confined
largely to small immediate shipments
or hlling-in orders there is fair ac-
tivity In the Chicago district and fur
ther West. where the breaking of the
drought has helped sentiment. In the
cotton goods line one feature early
was a reduction in ,shirting prints, but
later an enlarged demand was report
ed for print cloths at Fall River and
prices advanced 1-S to IA. Confident
buying by a large printing interest IS
the reported basis for the strength

mating and the mating pro-
duced from the grass raised by Mr..
Haskell Is said to be worth 80 cents a
yard.
The raising OF the grass may be
said to be still in the expo rimeatal
stage. as changes In the harvesting
and curing would have to be made
should. the industry be attempted
here. But the experts are enthusiastic
over the experiment, so far, and have
no doubt but that It would prove n
success on the rice fields Of South
Carolina. Mr.. Clark is following the
matter closely and will in time make
his report to the bureau. and full in
formation will then be given out.
There Is no doubt that a new in.
dustry, In this State as suggested by
the experiments made would prove a
boon to this part Of the State, and
would result In the reciaiming Of the
rice lands long since abandoned. II
would be necessary to replant the
rush only once in every f,ve years.
Mr.. r. H. Sawyer. of the State Fair
Association, has written to Mr.. Has
keli asstoiiows: Ir
"You Mysho,fault to nnd with your
FIRST experiment at raising this grass,
and you have the odd distinction OF
having the nrst rolls Of mating made

BRANDENBURG ARRESTED.

Dayton, Ohio, Oct. 22.-As he was

sold the New York Times letter
which he represented to nave been
written by Grover Cleveland, in which
the dead statesman predicted the cleo
tion Of Taft and which letter is now
declared to have been forgery.
Brandenburg was locked up in the
police station. as the amount Of mis-
bail was not fixed. 1t was said by his
attorney tonight that If his client
was not released tomorrow he would
institute proceedings.
In a statement issued tonight Bran
denburg says he had the proper au-

'f It Is Reasonable that any sane man
would falsify the utterances Of an ex-
president OF the United States for

says he was on his way to New York
city to give District Attorney Jerome
additional evidence. He says the ar.
rest was made by those interested in
offsetting the influence of Mr.. Cleve-
lands utterances, who wished to Sc.
cure dramatic climax Just before
election.
Through his attorney Brandenburg
tonight issued the following state
ment:
Yesterday wired District Attorney
Jerome that I had new evidence to
present on Friday. and as I stepped
aboard the train for New York to
AsAS oSASCHcut, am arrested
as fugitive from justice, though my

self. informed the district attorney OF

A WARNING FOR MILLINERS.
Columbia Merchant Who Displayed

ers ON Them Fined for Violating
Game Law.

Columbia, October 33-Mr. A. G..
Douglass, president Of the A. G. Doug
las Company, which conducts a fash
ionable dry goods and millinery esta-
blishment in Columbia, was fined 50
today by Magistrate Fowles on a
charge OF violating the game law uf
the State. TIL warrant was sworn out
by Secretary Rice, Of the Audubon So
ciety, under the act Of 1905, and states
that Mr.. Douglas has in his possession
and offers for sale the feathers OF a
non-game bird, which Is a violation Of
the statute. The feathers in question
Hre that of heron on a stylish hat in
the Douglas window, and there are
lots or others of the same kind in the
stock. which Mr.. Douglass will have
10 dispose OF In some legal way. When
the case was called IN the Magistrates
Court he entered a plea Of guilty and
paid the fine. If the Audubon Society
undertakes to enfore the law through
out the state 1t is likely that good
many stocks Of millinery in other
towns than Columbia will be depleted
OF some Of their choicest fall offer
ings.

REPUBLICANS PLAN FRAUD,
NEW YORK DEMOCRATS WILL
FIGHT ILLEGAL VOTING.
Five Hundred Attorneys. Headed by
Judge Parker, Will See That Bal.
lOting Is Honest.

New York, Oct. 22.-Charges were
made today by w. j. Conners, chair
man Of the Democratic State commit
tee, that the Republican organization
In upstate counties had padded the
registration rolls with from 10, 600 to
10000 names and that to prevent the
casting Of a fraudulent vote the ex-
ecutive committee had appointed a
State law committee with former
Judge A. B. Parker as chairman. Mr..
Conners said that the law committee
would be composed Of about 500 at
torneys. and that on election day these
attorneys would be assisted by special
deputies in each election district to
see that ballots were honestly cast and
counted. Mr.. Conners said: There
will be no voting Of dead men by the
Republicans in this election and the
State committee will see that our op-
ponents are not pc: mitted to run men
over from Pennsylvania and Canada
to vote them in this State. Already
we have discovered hundreds Of
names fraudulently registered up
State and have succeeded in having
the names stricken from the list.
I'VE want square deal. We are
not going to buy the election. and we
have not got the money to buy it with
anyway. We don't propose to have
the Republicans rob us as they have
done in the past"

plans, by which he will speak in "a

OF speaking in only few Of the larger
cities. as previously announced, indi-
Gated that the Republican managers
felt the necessity Of carrying this
State. which was virtually acknowl-

Republicans were certain OF the mid
die Western States they would not
need New York.
Speaking Of the letter Of President

AN URGENT MAfTtR
 <" PEOPLE IN DISTRESS
IT the Fa5nners Don't Offer. Assistance
 There Will BesGreat Embarrassment

Once more the Announcement is made that, if the people Of the Salt river valley have a proper appreciation of the advertising opportunity offered by the Albuquerque fair, and the ef-- forts being put forth by the conner cial organizations of the valley through the exhibit committee, they should come to the committees assistance, and at once.
 The committee has by the hardest kind of work and by repeated and con tinuous pleading. sometimes even by purchase and always with precipitation and agony, finally got together an eX- hibit that the valley can be proud of. It will be an exhibit containing many things that a lot of people perhaps would never have thought Of and it is expected that the news will wait back from Albuquerque that it is the best show for the money that this section ever put up. But with all that, the committee Is still lacking a representation in quite a number of products that are considered staples in they must come in this week, or be ar 4dllSGAl tOlH QHllN tAA oll sNitlIdA UT Lhbli-- day. If possible the exhibit is to be packed for shipment on Monday and it will be impossible to get anything into the car after the train has gone.
 Here are a number of staple articles produced in this valley that one ought to be able to secure at any time, but the committee has not yet even got a sample of and nObobdy could work harder to secure these things than the committeeman have and nobody could give more publicity to the need of these things than The Republican has. 1t is now up to the people to furnish them or the big show must move on to AL buquerque:

 others that may be brought in of the above sorts.
 Secretary Cowgirl of the committee says that if any grower of the above is afr9id of the loss of the produce he will give a receipt for it and for it's safe return. unless it is kindly donated one thing is sure and that is that af- ter all the advertising that has been done. showing how the above named products can be grown in this valley, the hundreds and thousands of visitors who will see the show at Albuquerque and who have read the valley litera- tureC will receive a chill when they lopR dIOullu TUT puihphiAioss piASii'' grain hay and such staples and can't find a pound of it. The town people are certainly doing their part in this instance and working their finger nails off and it is up to MT. Farmer to make good. He has been backed by the town people and by the commercial or ganizations of the valley and he should. de his part.
 One more thing-alfalfa, the one SUI, preme crop. both. here and at Buckeye, for which this country has become fla nous. After hard work the committee has secured two little sacks of alfalfa seed when half a hundred should have been offered. The. Buckeye seed par ticularly is famous and one is led to wonder what has become of the Buck eye Home Founders association, MeSsrs. Blacl<mer, .Gipson, Sanders ct al, who did such magnificent work for that section last winter; which in fact did more for the Buckeye section than was ever done in it's behalf before, all put together It started an alfalfa yell that has trayeled clear across the country and echoed back again. What will the army of visitors say when it goes poling through the Maricopa ex- hibit at Albuquerque looking for that world beating Buckeye alfalfa seed, and can't find it?
 This big show is almost>a free ad and yet those to be most beh ted do not seem to be aware of it's existence. Every exhibit will bear a tag showing the name of the exhibitor or producer. the variety class etc If the above has interested anybody he should re- member that he must put his impulses into action this week, or never.
