steady tone. Damage reports were
less numerous and flour trade reported
somewhat dull. There appears to be
feeling of strength underlying TIL,

witnessed, we are inclined to favor
purchases on the breaks.
CORN-The May kind again reached
new high level Sic. indicating a
still unsettled short interest Receipts
have been heavy purchases when they
appear.
oATs-sample oats nc higher,
with grades that are good in excellent
demand. Futures have displayed 4
good tone. and the close is around top
prices. The September kinds does not
look high in comparison with other
cereals and we believe purchases on
dips can profitably be made.
PROViSIONS-Wer dull and lower

mission house trade in pork appeared
while packers We're on both sides
Cash trade reported slow and the de-
mand for fresh meats slackened. 1t

FIND COPPER ON
BUTTON PLACE
JACOB BLIZZARD BRINGS SAM
PLIES TO THE COURIER
OFFICE.

Jacob Blizzard, who has a 6O-acre
fruit farm known as the button place,
three miles east of Ottumwa on the
old Burlington right-of-way to Agency
believes he has found evidences of a
copper deposit on his premises.
AS evidence of this fact, Mr.. Biz
gard yesterday brought to the Courier
office three samples of the copper
found in two branches Of rivulet OH
his farm. One of the pieces is almost
solid in appearance and weighs six
pounds. The other two pieces weigh
1.5 pounds. The larger piece was
found in one branch of the little brook
and the other two in another branch
The question now uppermost in the
mind of Mr.. Blizzard is, that there
may be bed of copper underlying his
place between the two brooks.
The pieces Of copper are now at the
Courier Office where they may be seen
Mr.. Blizzard will have them assayed
to learn II the metal is ore or lust
happened to be thrown there in past
years.
Mr. Blizzard believes the metal was
washed out Of the banks of the little
stream, but where he is unable Ia
learn.

A revolver was In the top drawer

cured the revolver and started toward
the stairs but as she heard Santen
coming down the stairs she stopped
just on the inside of the door and be-
hind the lunch counter. AS Santen
opened the door she raised the re-
volver to her right temple and pulled
the trigger. The bullet passed through

State Convention This Week VIII In
struct for Him.

Baltimore, April 26.-The republi-
can state convention will be held in
this city on Thursday next when four
delegates at large to the national con-
vention at Chicago, and their alter
mates, will be elected. All the district
delegates have been elected except
those Of the second and fifth districts.
At present 1t seems altogether proba-
bio that the four delegates at large
will go to the national convention in
structed In favor of Secretary Taft
and that the state convention will
adopt resolutions in his favor. While
there has been suspicion that Con
gresham Mudd wished an unpledged
delegation sent to Chicago, this has
not been taken as an indication of his
opposition to the secretary, but rather
of his desire to deliver the votes at
tho proper time. However 1t now
appears that In the state convention
there will be Influences favorable to
an instructed delegation too powerful
for Congressman Mudd to overcome.
