Des Moines, April 10.-While Amer
lea is spotted with the ruins Of at
tempted socialistic communities, one
in Iowa has succeeded beyond the an
tlc1pation Of even those who founded
1t.
The Amana community, which has
about 1,500 members, is quoted as be-
Ing worth $15,O00OOO. The organiza-
ton started from about 700 Germans
who settled In the community in 1S45.
Working early for the advancement
of the soul the prosperity has also
kept rapid pace. The community pre-
sents an odd picture. Believing in
the life Of simplicity the inhabitants
wear the costume Of the seventeenth
century with such changes as conven.
ience and not style have suggested.
They do not paint their houses, for
the same reason they do not insure
them-on the contention it Is not
economy. They have fye villages and
the method cf communication and
transportation between those is OK
teams. They speak the German Ian
guage, exclusively. No music instru-
ments are tolerated in the commun-
ity Every member Is guaranteed a
good living and helps in the way Of
upbuilding. No money is used. 1t is
like one great family. All have prl.

CHURCH LAW IS
bar TO WEDDING
ARCHBISHOP RYAN WOULD NOT
SANCTION MALoNEY-CLARK-
SON WEDDING.

Philadelphia, Pa, April 1O.-Arch.
bishop Ryan has declared that even If
the marriage Of Miss Helen Maloney
and Arthur Osborne is annulled BY
the process Of law, he would not marry
her to Samuel Clarkson or any one
else, and that the Philadelphia heiress
Will still have an important bridge to
cross before she can reach the place
where she may receive the sanction
OF the Catholic church to marry the
young Enghshman with whom she
eloped last year.
That bridge, the archbishop said,
was the ecclesiastical law, which will
have to be satisfied before any priest
of the Roman Catholic church may
perform the ceremony
Archbishop Ryan said he had not
been asked to perform the ceremony.
Travelled as Wed, Says Osborne.
Il have not been approached by the
family" continued the archbishop
1T is an unfortunate affair and I re
gret the notoriety 1t has brought to
Marquis Maloney, for whom l have the
highest regard"

following a sensation caused by the
publication of letter from Arthur
Osborne to Justice Of the Peace Boyd

before the referee, and decision was
looked for by this time.
Andrew Maloney, uncle of Osborn's
bride, said that the case would not BIZ
affected by the publication of the let
ter, and that the referee would pro
badly rule it out.

HARTMAN IN
NEWDEALG GETS
GREATERP0WER
IF WIZARD SECURES CONTROL OF
ERIE HE WILL HAVE A SYSTEM
EXTENDING FROM ATLANTIC
TO PACIFIC COAST

New York, April To- Whether Ed
ward H. Hartman actually is to take
over the Erie system and with the
Illinois Central, Union Pacific and
Southern Pacific form the greatest
transcontinental system under one
management is question which will
agitate railroad and financial circles
for the coming week or until Mr.. Har.
riman declares his intentions.
The report was issued yesterday,
following the action of Mr.. Hartman
lin providing s5,5OO,OoO the day before
for the payment of maturing notes of
the Erie system, that "the wizard"
will take $5,000,0OO Of the new per
cent notes which amount to to-
tai issue of $4,000, ,0O0-for payment
of car trust certificates aggregating
nearly $5,0O0,000 and to provide funds
to meet the immediate needs of the
road.
This report forms considerable basis
for second Wall street report that
Mr.. Hartman and his associates will
take over the Erie as an eastern out.
let Of great transcontinental sys-
tenn.
Further, it is stated, Mr.. Hartman
/
and his associates stand ready to
spend from s80,o00,oOo to s40,o00,0oo
under certain conditions, presumably
control Of the road, for improvements
in terminals, tunnels, trackage, and
rolling stock of the Erie. If these
plans are completed Mr.. Hartman 3
long cherished dream of a perfectly
equipped complete transcontinental
road will be realized.
This would give Hartman a belt
across the continent with the follow
ing roads:

The interest of Mr.. Moore has been
purchased by w. A. Frueauff. of
Leadville, a young man who has
spent many years in the hardware
trade and is thoroughly conversant
with the business, to its minutest de-
tail.
The firm of Feldmeier & Moore
was established about two years ago
and by the very strictest attention
to business a large and constantly
growing trade has been built up. Mr..
Feldmeier has practically lived with
the business and by the very fairest
dealing has made each new customer
friend of his business.
iWth the advent of Mr.. Frueaun
into the business and his extensive
knowledge of the needs of the hard
ware trade, 1t may be anticipated
that the business will be largely in
creased, along the lines pursued by
the old firm.
Mr.. Frueauff is a brother of Mr..
| Frueauff, of the Denver Gas & Elec-
trio company, a personal and highly
complimentary sketch, written by
Alfred Damon Runyon, appeared IN
the Denver Times of few days ago.
1t is said that the brother who has
identified himself with hardware
business in this city, has all the quail
ifications of his brother as business
getter and will go after fair share
of the trade of this section. If earn
est attention to business will secure

The first annual report OF the min
eral production OF the Philippine
islands is now published by the chief
of the division OF geology and mines
at Manila, the bulletin just issued
covering the year 1907. In view of the
fact that over ten years has passed
since our government quietly sent its
first mining expert 10 the islands TO
explore their mineral resources and
the archipelago was taken from Spain
partly on the assumption that 1t
would prove a fine asset in mineral
wealth. the statistics OF mineral pro-
duction last year seem melancholy
reading.
Statistics are always duh to some
people. but these statistics must pro-
duce acute pains in the heads OF our
most enthusiastic expansionists. What
do we find. Last year the Philippines
yielded 4,545 short tons OF very infer
ior coal, which is much below the
competing Australian coal In quality;
1876 short tons OF iron, 37S pounds OF
gold and SO ounces of silver.
We would direct attention especial
ly to the prodigious production Of the
precious metals. The gold and silver
yield OF the Philippines staggers the
imagination. What bonanza we have
