Iron Trade Review

CLEVELAND. O.. Sept. 16.-The Iror
Trade Review tomorrow will say: The pas'
week has emphasized the slowness of recoy-
cry which has characterized the market
during the past six months. 1t is not safe
however, to Judge the future by the dullness
of a week or of several weeks. The gen
eral situation has been helped very little so
far by railroad buying. but there Is pros
pect Of the ordering of some 10000 freight
cars at an early date.
The United States Steel corporation Will
spend about 100000 In rebuilding three
furnaces at Ensley, Ala, and making other
improvements to the plant of the Tennessee
Coal, Iron and Railroad company.
The second half of the great Wanamaker
store in Philadelphia is to be completed as
soon as possible, the $4,000 tons of steel re-
ouired to be furnished by the American
Bridge company. The st. Paul system has
received quotations on steel under frames
for $500 cars to be built in It's own shops.
II is expected that orders for about 20,00o
cars Will soon be placed. Temperance legis-
lation has had the effect Of decreasing the
demand for hoops.

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept 16.--At the outset the wheat
market was firm with December MQ%c over

heavy northwest receipts and in some IN
stances desire to secure profits were IN
large volume, but December dropped on only

reaction was followed gradually and drew
most of the traders to the bull side. At It's
close the market offered 81 O1M for September.
81 O1M for December and $10SA for May, and
these pricas held at the close, being for Sep
ternber and December &c over yesterday. Du-
18th was a heavy buyer in this market and
one house said that the northern city was
doing the biggest export trade In its history
Local export brokers stated that all the wheat
offered abroad last night had been accepted
an advance from Id to Sd in spot wheat at
liverpool and the firm tone In continental
markets giving color to this claim. There
were houses, however which gave out state
ments maintaining the extent Of the export
business. The talk Of a reduction by italy Of
the import duty on wheat was also a factor
In determining the trend Of prices The ad-
vance at New York created more than full
shipping difference between that market and
this one.
The corn market was under a great deal Of
pressure today leading longs apparently leav-
ing the market to take care of itself. Sep
tember at one time sold at 78c, 2hc under yes

The weakness OF corn was shared by the oat

Choctaw Strip Part of Arkansas

Have Arkansas courts any iurisd,c. tion over the strip of land located near Fort Smith and commonly known as the "Choctaw strip?" This is the main question involved in the case of Clint Thompson against William McCauley. jailer of the Fort Smith district of Se- bastlan county, the transcript of which was filed with the Supreme Court Thursday, the case being appealed from the Sebastian County Chancery Court.
 The case is considered a most im- portant one, as it involves a question that has attracted no small amount of attention since the strip of land was set apart for the Cohctaw Indians by the government and then annexed to the state of Arkansas by the Arkan- sas legislature of 1905.
 Thompson was arrested and taken to Fort Smith for trial. He was charged with disturbing the peace of the Indian land He and his attorneys took the stand that the court which tried him had no jurisdiction what ever over that strip of land, claim ing that it was the property of the Indians, and that no court of this state could exercise any power over it's af- fairs, Thompson brought habeas cor pus proceedings, asking that a writ of habeas corpus be issued and a chance given the jailer, in whose GUS tody Thompson was, to show cause why he, Thompson, could not be re- leased. The petition for habeas cor pus was denied by the lower court. and the case was then appealed.
 In his petition for habeas corpus, Thompson allages that the Choctaw strip was given to the Indians in 1905 by act of Congress; that later it was put within the boundary lines of Ar kansas by act of Congress and of the Arkansas legislature. but that after that Congress repealed the act. On this ground Thompson claims that no Arkansas court can have jurisdiction over the Indian reservation.
 The strip of land in question lies between Fort Smith and the Poteau river.

 Ozark, Tuesday, February 9th.

farmers organization. when he Is the enemy of their brother laborers' organization.
 An! see in the press of the state, statement emanatlng from Ben Griffns paper at Conway. saying that when made a speech there in my race for the senate characterized George DonaGhcy as, Honest George Dona- Ehcy." l don't characterize him now as dis honest. gentlemen.
 It Is stated further in this article, that should have said in that speech that he saved the taxpayers of this state $500 90 In the attempted state house steal Gentlemen. l say to you today that never such words as these escaped my lips on this earth, and l brand the statement absolutely false. l could not have said that and told the truth. because George Donaghcy did not save the state SS00,O00.00 in the attempted state house steal. any other sum of money.
 Before he raised his voice in this matter, l was fighting these state house thieves on the public hustings in the courts of the county and in the legislature. He was on the State Capitol Board when l became governor I that he had an itching palm to get charge of the state house contract; saw that he had desire to be the contractor on that great building, and l know that in 1903 he put in a bid for the erection of the state house. under the name and style of Dona- ghey Construction Company
 Donaghcy failed to get the contract, and his construction company was never perfected never organized.
 Gentlemen of the Farmers Union. Donaghey Is not your friend. He boasts today that he is worth $5OO,000.00; that he began fifteen years ago as bod carrier. and claims that he made this money the fruits of honest legitimate toll.
 If he has made five hundred thousand dol lars in fifteen years, be has skinned somebody hasn't he? He hasn't made this money oh the poor people of this country because they had no contracts to let, but he had made his money of the rich people of the land, and 1T elected governor, fellow citizens, he would look up to the rich and opuent-the men who have given him his wealth.
 Stop, study. think. my friends, where are we going, whither we drifting. l have no personal ill-will against Mir Donaghey, I have no personal grievance with him. Some of his friends have been my warmest friends, and most ardent supporters but I know that if he should be elected to this high office, that the opposition will have captured the state government and will laugh you to scorn after you have made ycur mistake.
 Gentlemen don't be deceiyed-don't be fooled by this stalking horse. Stop before 1t Is too late--make no mistake; weigh well your ballot you cast and that 1t Is done in the best interest of our cause.
