THE COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION
The Ottumwa Commercial associa-
ton will round out a successful year
next Friday night with the annual
banquet
The year that will be brought to a
close with this event has been marked
with great activity on the part Of the
Commercial association. The business
conditions in Ottumwa during the
financial stringency give evidence OF
this. The financial stringency has
been seriously felt over the country.
Factories have been shut down, bust
ness has been curtailed and thousands
have lost employment.
But Ottumwa factories have not
suffered as have the factories of other
cities. Business conditions have not
met with set back and labor has
been constantly employed. There must
be some reason for this condition,
and more than anything else the
reason may be found in the activity
of the Commercial association.
The association has been especially

PARTMENT MATTERS.

Affairs at the War Department re-
sumed their usual routine today, and the
machinery ran so quietly and smoothly
that 1t would have been difficult for a
stranger to have realized that a new man
had just assumed the duties and RESPONSE
bilities Of the vast military establishment.
During the forenoon Secretary Wright
was engaged with Chief Clerk ScOfield In
the consideration of the general business
OF the department and with Gen. Ed
wards. the chief Of the bureau of insular
affairs, in connection with certain ques-
tions that have arisen in the Philippine
government. He also received visits from
number OF personal friends from Ten
mes see and other southern states. who
desired to extend their personal congratu-
lations.
Three employees Of the Secretary's office
have resigned their positions in order
that they may continue in the service
Of Judge Taft in the conduct OF his pres
Dental campaign. These are Mr.. Fred
w. Carpenter, private secretary: Mr.. w.
w. Mischief. confidential clerk. and Will
liam Panneil. confidential messenger to
the Secretary. Mr.. Miscnler has already
relinquished his duties at the War De-
partment and is with Mr.. Tart a. las pri-
vate residence. He and Messenger Pan
nell will accompany Judge Tart to Hot

ton of the whole matter. The House of
Representatives provided for the super
vision of the railways by the Commits
sioners: the Senate was apparently op-
posed to any supervision. but finally
accepted the interstate commerce COM
mission supervision as a compromise
