didate for hcaplain Of the lower house
Of the state legislature. He was in
town today to meet the solons who
we're expected to assemble here. but

state senator and county Judge and
also serving a term in iail-and there
by hangs a tale.
In 1878 Mr.. Tandy was a member
Of the county court (board Of coun-
ty commissioners in Oklahoma) Of st.
Clair county. The people Of his coun-
~ had been swindled by a lot Of
railroad promoters. They had voted
and sold bonds and the road was
never built. When they repudiated
the bonds. the purchasers sued the
county and got judgment The coun-
ty judges refused to make a tax levy
to pay interest on the bonds and when
they declined to obey an order of
court requiring them to do so. Mr..
Tandy and his associates we're sent %
jail. remaining behind the bars seven
months. The county judges were he
roes in tie eyes OF their constituents
For many years every man elected to
the position In St. Clair county under
stood that he would have TO 60 to
Jail and they did 1t, finally wearing out
the court judgments.

wfllefnstad, Curacao, Oct s0--"Spot- less Town" exclaims the American traveller who behoids for the first time the capital city of the Dutch West In- dies. Like bit of Holland transplant ed 10 the tropic seas. Wiilemstad ex- pressessits loyalty to The Netherlands in the spotlessness of it's houses. in the redness of it's tiles, in the cleanliness of its cobble-s stones and in the length of It's burghers' pipes. Most of It's Dutchmen are black as to face and klnky as to hair. but they are Dutch- men just the same.
 Wiliemstad Is the home of so.ooo of the 10000 people who live on the Island of Curacao. Here centers the quarrel about the trans-shipptng issue which threatens to cause war between Hol- land and Venezuela. Here every Vene- Euelan revolutionary leader. ct one time or another. has found asylum. Simon Bolivar. the first lived here in exile. Cipraiano Castro. the last lived here while Organizing his scheme to take possessionn of Caracas.
 Castro,s decree prohibiting trans shipment of cargoes at Willemstad. and the consequent cessation of all com- mercial relations between Curacao and Venezuelan ports. has brought the people here to the verge of absolute starvation. The Dutch government is expending a thousand dollars a day to feed the destitute. If the Dutch. by diplomacy or war, cannot bring about a revocation of that decree. there will be nothing left for the government to do but send ships to transport these people to Surinarn, Hollands other pos session in South America. Curacao ia . barren island. # has no water, 1t has no rain, 1t has no products. It ex- fists merely ax sort of international freight junction.
 Not withstanding it's present poverty, Willemstad is Q delight to the eye. It ts built on both sides of the narrow en- trance to the harbor of Santa Anna.

DuN,s REPORT.

Decided Improvement ia Noted in Most
 Trade Reports.
 New York. oct. 3O.--R. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade tomor- row will say:
 Decided Improvement is noted in most trade reports this week, espe- cially in respect to distributive de- partments. orders have come to manu- lecturers more freely. In many cases accompanied by requests for immedi- ate or very early delivery. Evidence of increased confidence are numerous and priceS are more firmly held where without attracting buyers. Many mills have resumed after months of idle- ness sufficient orderA having accumu- lated to assure active capacity during general belief that contracts will be placed freely during the next two months.
 Recent moderte reductions fin prices steel business about to be placed have resulted in increased inquiry for ma teriaL Purchases arc no longer con- fined to immediate needs, deliveries arranged and stiil longer contracts could be taken If producers would name current prices. Orders for steel rails are being placed for both home having secured enough business to re- sume operations while plate mills are busy on material for recent big or- ders for cars. Minor metals are firmer because of a much broader de mand.
 Increased strength is noted in the leading textile industries, @ broader market promising to sustain improve. ment with prospects of further gains In some departments. A few Peduc- tions in prices are recorded but these are the exceptions and manufacturers are assuming a more independent at. titude. Jobblng houses report that travelling men send in fairly good or. ders for cotton goods but house trade is not yet normal. election uncertainty increasing the feeling of conservatism.
 More improvement Ia reported in the footwear industry. Eastern wholesal- CTS operating more freely. especially In spring lines of cloth and patent leath- CT goods. Much business is placed with the stipulation that contracts may be increased or reduced 10 per cent. per month. Prices are unchanged as a rule but there are predictions of higher figures before the end of the year.
 Purchases of sole leather are be- Iieved to aggregate half a million sides in the packer hide market. together with better inquiry for leather has brought tanners to Western centers where they operate more freely.

 Aside from the war-like talk and the sheen of the battleship guns in the harbor Willemstad is as mild and dociie. as if 1t were the capital of the Kingdom of Peace. Naked brown babies roll In the narrow streets, - laughing at the woes of men and the quarrels of nations. Young girls In gay kerchiefs and bright gowns stroll along the water front, ready to smash the heart of Sailor Jack when he comes In from the sea in his ship. White. clothed men sit In the windows of the club house, smoking long pipes and watching the sunlight dance on the water. The people are clean, the houses are clean. the streets are clean. It is the charming Spotless Town of Willemstad. One cannot but feel that his heart Is with these people in their quarrel with Venezuela. for 1t is a matter of life and death with them. Since Castro has his pomp and his mil lions and his power. why should he put blight on fair old Curacao? Why not live and let livef
