MRS. SAGE PLANS
PRESENT FOR u. S.

New York, Aug. Sit is learned to-
day from a New York friend of Mrs.
Russell Sage that she Is thinking seri-
ously Of purchasing Constitution island,
in the upper Hudson, opposite West
Point and presenting 1t TO the United
States government as a site on which to
erect the worlds greatest military pre-
paratory school. The school will be TO
West Point what Elton is to Oxford
and Lawrenceville is TO Princeton.
According to Mrs. Sage's friend, she
will send a representative to West
Point within a few days to look into the
matter and put her in possession OF all
the facts concerning Constitution island,
the attitude of West Point authorities
toward the dea and whether they
would be likely to give their sanction
in the event she obtains title to the
property. The island can be bought for
$3.50, 900 to 5000, 900.

grams of coincidence and of apprecia-
ton have come from every section Of
the United States and from foreign
countries, from the president, from
other high officials sources, from for
eign ministers, and from the friends
both in and out of the state, all testi-
flying to the length of service OF the
Son of Iowa.
1t is one of the peculiar conditions,
seldom attending the death of any
man that Senator Allison has no rela-
tives in the commonwealth which has
been his home during most Of his ac-
tive life. His companion has been dead
these many years, he never had son or
daughter, and the messages of con-
dolence or appreciation are from
friends or contemporaries to friends
and the great public to whom his name
has become a household word.
Arrangements for the funeral of Sem
ator Allison have progressed to the
point where it is known that the serv-
ices will be held Saturday, August s,
at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, and while
simple in arrangement. will be attend
ed by life long associates In congress,
and by prominent public officials, both
national and state.
Word is received today that Vice
President FairbSnk has appointed a
delegation from among n Alli-
sons colleagues in the Senate to at
tend, and the vice president announces
that he also will be present.
Simplicity Marks Ceremony.
The exercises will take place from
the late senator's home on Locust
street. There will be no eulogy and
only a simple prayer. The funeral and
the burial will be private and there
will be no flowers.

THE new YORK WORLD.
DECLARES FOR BRYAN
Editorial Compares the Two
Candidates and Then
Chooses Democrat.

New York, Aug. S.-The New York
World has announced that 1t is for w.
]. Bryan for president. In a leading
editorial the World declares that
organs nomination at Denver was
proof of a most remarkable personal
popularity and hen goes on to set
forth Bryan's opportunity as the stand
ard bearer of his party.
But the first practical issue that
must be faced and squarely met" con
icludes the World, lis that of d~islocated
business and industry. The people of
the United States need peace, they
need prosperity, they need employment.
they need bread. No campaign can
be successful which does not a k this
great factor into consideration. In
place of an indiscriminate crusade
against all business and a continuation
of the Roosevelt reign OF terror must
a realization that guilt Is always
personal, and that the only effective
way TO deal with corporation crimes is
to send the one responsible man to jail.
Mr.. Bryan must clearly recognize
Theodore Roosevelt's share In the re-
sponsibility for the recent panic, and
picture the true effects of government
by denunciation in undermining conf
dence and credit. To sympathize with
Mr.. Rosevelt's violence OF utterance,
with his vituperation, with his denun-
citation OF the courts, with his reign or
terror, is to surrender the most effect
i've and legitimate weapons which the
democratic opposition a WELD in the
campaign.
IF Mr.. Bryan will take up these
questions and show the country the
peril into which Roosevelt e~xtrava-
gance, miiitarism and jingoism are
leading 1t. carefully avoiding attacks
upon the courts, carefully avoiding all
apeals to class prejudice, carefully
avoiding all the delusions and fraudu-
lent issues of ~populism and semi-social-
ism, he Will certainly make a creditable
showing at the polls. He would come
out Of the contest with a greater vote
than he ever polled before, with great
er honor. with greater reputation than
he ever had before; he would strength
en- his party, N even In defeat he
would have the satisfaction OF knowing
that he had rendered a great service

TAFT SENDS TELEGRAM
OF SYMPATHY TO DUBUQUE

Hot Springs, Va, Aug. Judge Taft
sent the following telegram regarding
the death Of Senator Allison to the
senator's home:
In the death OF Senator Allison the
country has lost a great public servant
and great statesman. He was a most wise
counsellor and legislator. No one can
overestimate the beneft that he. by his
long service in the House and Senate
rendered his country. The burden he has
had to carry for many many years as the
head OF the appropriation committee Of
the Senate did not attract the attention
that the public gives to more interesting
but less important legislative action.
1 am greatly shocked to hear Of his
death. 1 loved him as every one did

Senator Allison will be long r

Senator Allison will be long re-
membered, not only in Iowa, but
throughout the whole country. He
rendered most useful service to
the nation during a public career
which for length has scarcely a.
parallel in the history of the Unit
ed States. He was a calm, on
teniplative man and for many
years his counsel was more gener-
ally sought than that of n other
man in public life. Had he lived
to the end of the term which he
was holding at the time of his
death he would have served his
state Sc consecutive years In the
Senate.
HE entered congress in the
middle OF the civil war and his in
iuence has been felt in all inn
portant legislation OF the last 45
years. His death will be lamented
everywhere, but nowhere SO pro-
foundry as among the people of
Iowa"

NEW YORK, Dec. 10.-Senti-

predicting new high levels in
Union Pacific. and Southern Paci-

ton. 1t is estimated that the
United States Steel corporation
will show net earnings of $91 ,000,-
900 for the fiscal year ending De-
cember 81, w.ich is looked upon
as satisfactory. Sentiment on the
floor of the exchange seemed to
be very bullish during early hours
of trading, and Southern Pacific
moved up to 121, the highest price
1t ever sold at. A holiday break
is looked for in many quarters,
but a ten point reaction will prob
ably be the most that can be ex-
pected even in such stocks as
Union Pacific and Reading. Infor-

Lucky Calumet was the feature
of today's market, making a strong
advance. 1t is understood that the
directors will have a meeting today
to authorize the closing of a deal
for 100000 shares of treasury
stock at a price somewhere
around 10 cents per share. The
stock is quite extensively held in
Montana and this city and in times
past has been a popular favorite.
With the Improvement in Snow
storm it Is only natural that
Lucky Calumet should act in sym
pathy. Somewhere between $50, 600
and $4,000 has been spent on the
property and it is reported that an
excellent showing is disclosed on
the 800 foot level. A lower tunnel
will be started at an early date
to cut the ore body at depth some
where between 1900 and 1000 feet.
