matter of pensioning veteran preach
ers, and as result it was decided to
place the name of Isaiah Reed at the
top of the emeritus list and to allow
him a salary of $500 yearly through
life in consideration of his past faith
full services. Mr. Reed himself would
have resented such suggestion had
he been present, for he glories in his
ability to still praise the name of his
Col, and he asks for no greater rec
ompense than the joy which he finds
in doing His bidding, but, neyerthe-
less, it is commendable thing on the
part of the Iowa Holiness association
that they should show their apprecia-
ton of Mr.. Reeds services with some
sort of pecuniary recompense. The
action will be precedent for analo-
gous cases and a permanent fund has
been set aside for the support of
aged and disabled ministers. The
fund is iimilar to what is known in
the Methodist denomination as the
superannuate fund. ..

COAL TRADE:::::REE'yl|||E.W
CONDITIONS or BUSINESS AS
POINTED OUT BY LEADING
TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, June 6.4MThe Black Dia.
mond today says:@lds %" S.ua' .a#
From all quarters this week come
reports that general business condi-
lions are improving and with this
change comes better demand for
COAL The fact that a comparison is
made should govern consideration of
these reports rather than stress being
laid upon the Improvement. Unques-
tionably the coal trade and general
business conditions are better than
they were a few weeks ago, but this
does not signify a state of unusual
prosperity. In fact the violence of
idle cars, of slowed down factories, of
the comparatively small consumption
of coal and the low prices for fuel
leads conclusively to the opinion that
while business is better than it was,
it has been lot better than now. The
point is that gradual but slow recov-
cry is being made.
$50 the prospect for better mar
ket for which the operators are plan
ming is territorial rather than general,
and no one is able to tell just exact
ly when an improvement will be start
ed. Nevertheless, everyone expects a
better tone to the trade before long.
THE western coal situation was in
fluencedl somewhat, within the week.
by the fact that Indiana miners and
operators agreed on a scale and open
ed the mines, which had been closed
down. This increased the output of
coal, although the demand hardly war
ranted any larger production. Penn
sylvania has also come to terms with
its miners, but SO far Ohio has not
been able to remove all labor difficult
ties"

W00DMEN BANKER

NOTABLE FIGHT FOR CHARLTON
BANK FUN-S is OPENED.
M'NIDER VS.. THE DEPosITORs.
Alleged Forgery Of the Bond compli-
Gates the Case - Little Hope
for Recovery of the
l. Money. slg

Charlton, Ia, June S.--Head Banker
z. II. McNider, of Mason City, of the
Modern Woodmen of America, has
filed claim of s35O,0OO against the
= R. Croker estate, Guilford Croker,
administrator, on the ground of the al
legged deposit that the Woodmen head
banker had in the defunct First Ma
tional bank here. The notice states
that the head banker designated the
First National Bank of Charlton as
one of the repositories for the Wood
men funds, and his action was ap-
proved by the board of directors OF
the Woodman. At different dates,
after August l, 1905, he deposited four
sums in the bank, amounting to $780,
900. In September, 1906, $4,000 was
transferred to the National Bank OF
Mason City, leaving $35O,0O0 in the
bank here.t The interest was kept paid
on this to the first of October, 1907,
when the bank failed.
A copy of the famous Woodmen
bond, which it is almost certain was a
forgery, is attached to the claim. This
bond is the security Head Banker
McNider Lad against loss of money in
the bank, and is for 100000. The
names of the following person" are
signed to the instrument: ST. IL.
Crocker, A. L. Mallory, j. M. Thayer,
G. ]. Stewart, E. S. Baker, G. w. Lari-
mer, John v. Bennett, l.. Rex Bennett,
George Bennett, j. S. Miller.
This bond was sent by Mr.. Crocker
on July rs, 1905, and it is now prac-
tically proved that all the names on
it except Mr.. Crocker's were forged by
him. All the men whose names APP
near as signatures state positively
~ hey never signed such a bond.
( However, some of them did sign a
smaller one, but were afterward re.
eleased from it, and their names were
erased by, Croker in their presence
This smaller bond, with the names
erased was left by Croker, together
with other proof that the 100000
bond was forged, and one of the men
whose name appeared on the bond
now has 1t in his possession.
Head Banker McNider not. only asks
the Croker estate to reimburse him
for the loss of $350,000, but asks the
bank receiver to do the same. lie

Croker estate, as there is very little

A WORD ABOUT
Powdered SULPHUR

Powdered sulphur, or as it is technically
called, flowers Of sulphur" is a valuable
remedial agent. Who doesn't remember
the old fashioned sulphur and molasses Civ
en- in the spring 20 purify the blood. And
it was valuable remedy too. But the form
of sulphur makes it hard of assimilation
makes it hard to get even 4 small quantity
of the sulphur into the blood. The greater
part of the flowers of sulphur taken into the
stomach is undigested and passes out with
out doing any good whatever. The very
little that is assimilated does great good
considering its quantity.S For this reason
physicians and scientists have for years tried
to find some way of holding sulphur in lio-
uid solution SO that al of it could be assim-
Hated and taken into the blood or when ap-
piled externally to sores, etc. be absorbed
into the skin. Littcll's Liquid Sulphur
sceomplishes this with absolute perfection.
1t is assimilated perfectly and every part
icle of it gets into the blood with not one of
the wonderful sulphur curative and medi-
cinal properties changed or lessened. APP
piled externally it is rapidly and readily
absorbed and actually brings the sulphur
into contact with the germs of suppuration,
modification, decay or disease which it
rapidly destroys. Littell's Liquid Sulphur
stops itching instantly and permanently re-
lieves all forms of skin complaint, eczema,
erysipelas, pimples, running sores, letter,
ring worm, chaps, roughness, redness, or
skin blotches. Sample bottle sent post paid
