Cassidy & Gray's Market Letter.

WHEAT-The advance at Buda
Pesth was due to continued dry and
hot weather while the declines in
Liverpool was influenced by larger
than estimated Argentine shipments.
Weather map showed rains general,
but forecast is for fair weather ex-
cept northwest where showers are ex-
pected. Modern Miller was quite bull
ish mentioning 1v and chinch bugs
and stating that rust is developing to
some extent in Illinois and Missouri.
The market has ruled dull and lower,
influenced by weak foreign advices.
Improved weather conditions also have
contributed and while a few damage
reports creep in daily, we see nothing
to fear as regards growing crop, and
would therefore suggest sales on all
advances.

cularly in July on covering by promi-
nent interests. who are long, May, and
it is possible that settlement has
been made by some belated short in
that option. The improved weather
may bring about an increased country
movement, but it is improbable that
receipts will at any time prove ex-
cessive.
OATS-The market has been of a
negative character with outside trade
small. Improved weather conditions
Will doubtless create a bearish senti-
ment temporarily but on recessions
believe the September can safely be
bought.
PROVISlONS-A weak hog market
influenced lower opening but offer
ings were well taken and a reaction
ensued, with the result that the clos
inc is slightly higher than the previ-
Gus close. The shipping demand is
noted as slow and unless the hog run
let's up, we still incline to sales of
long product with view of rebuying
at lower levels.

HOLINESS PEOPLE BRING
ACTION AGAINST METHoDlsTs

Mt. Observation-Disclosures interesting
trial has been on in the district court
here yesterday and today. The Holt
ness people Of Oakland Mills have
brought acxtion against the Meth
odists ct al. for excluding them from
the Oakland Mills church in which
they claim they have a right to wor-
ship. This church was built by popu-
lar subscription by the community and
was conducted SO for several years.
However it was hard to get pastor
and majority Of the people were de-
sirious of having it taken under the
wing of the Methodist church who
would supply regular pastor for it.
A quit claim deed was executed by
these people and it was turned over to
the Methodists. However Judge Smith
decreed last evening that 1t should
be held for the free use of all people
who wished to worship there and that
one sect could not use it exclusively.
This ends one of the bitterest neigh-i
porhoods quarrels there has been in
this county for some time. The Holt
ness people were far In the minority
but they gained their point. The
church Is turned back to board Of
deacons elected by the people for the
purpose Of making suitable arrange
Methodist faction can easily have con-
troll of this board but cannot exclude
the Holiness people.
Another divorce was granted at the
district court yesterday to Mrs.
Lettie s. Gowans from her husband.

husband and children for another man.

Thomas Hardesty was born in
Randolph county, N. c., January ii,
1911. Closed his eyes to earthly
scenes May Z, 1908. He came to Park
county, Indiana in 1882. In 1884 he
removed to the Flint Hills, Black
Hawk purchase, Wisconsin Territory.
near where Burlington, Iowa, now
stands. He remained about one year,
then went to Ft. Madison to assist
with the building Of the penitentiary,
working as carpenter. He also was
employed as guard for considerable
length of time. Chief Blackhawk was
among his acquaintance.
He married Miss Maria Stephenson
March 8, 1s42. Eight children we're
born to this union; sons and five
daughters. One daughter died in in
fancy. another, Mrs. Mary A. Dana,
died, January 1, 1898. His wife de-
parted this life February 2s, 1868.
His last years were spent with his
son. Samuel, who lived on the old
homestead, seven miles west Of OF
tumwa. The funeral services were
gathering Of friends congregated and
accompanied the remains to the Kirk
vile cemetery and were laid by the
side Of his wife, who preceded him
forty years ago.
Early in life he made profession
Of faith in Jesus Christ, uniting with
the Christian church. Later on he be-
well as Her Master. But as the
twilight was deepening he again pro-
fessed his faith in God to friend who
sat by his side. This friend repeated
John 3:16-"For God so loved the
world, that He gave His only Begot-
ton Son, that whosoever believeth in
Him should not perish but have ever
lasting life He said, that Is true"
then this friend repeated
Jesus lover Of my soul, let me to
thy BOSOM fly;
While the nearer pillows roll, while
the tempest still is high;
Hide me- 0 my Savior hide, till the
storm Of life is past;
Safe into thy haven guide, oh, re-
ceive my soul at last.
Then the friend asked him If he
he replied, HE did" That prayer is
never made from the heart, without
blessing the one offering it.

Golfna Eeat..

The Scottish golfer who undertook
for a wager to drive ball mile in
Z dozen consecutive shots probably set
himself IN easier task than some Of
his predecessors north Of the Tweed.
Among the most interesting wagers
Of this kind was one taken in the
Burgess Golfing society in 1898 that
no two members could drive ball
over the spire of st. Giles steeple.
The feat was attempted by a Mr..
sceales of Leith and Mr.. Smellie, a
printer, each being allowed six balls,
and both competitors succeeded in
sending their balls well ever the
weathercock, a height Of more than
100 feet from the ground.
