clothing of his mothers body. She
was laid on couch in the parlor,
which caught fire and had to be taken

Mrs. Furtney usually arises about
seven o'clock and prepares breakfast
for herself and son. 1t is presumed
that she arose about that hour this
morning and was busily engaged in
the kitchen getting the morning meal.
Lately she has been occupying a down

as sleeping apartments, and 1T was

In the kitchen the broken lamp
was found by Mrs. Furtney's son and
thrown out. From tracks made by
her on the carpet and floors of the

she passed it is evident that she made

and charming of New Years parties

meeting of several representatives OF
the auxiliary, the ladies planned for
a function of that nature and today,
correspondence has been received by
the other members of the society, tell
ing them of the plans for an affair
which will be a most brilliant one in
Keokuk social life.
Tomorrow afternoon at four, the
ladies of the auxiliary will meet in the
parlors of the association. to further
plan for the affair. In nut shell.
the plans for New Years reception
will interest the members of the as
sociation and their friends who will!
be the guests of the occasion. A re-
ception party consisting of George
and Martha washington with a COM
pany of twelve other ladies and gen
/ tlemen attired in Colonial style will
constitute the number who will re-
ceive the guests in the large auditor
1 ium. The perlors, the main lobby,
the reception room s,d the entire quar-
tiers will be decorated throughout in a
most charming manner, Christmas
decorations to be used and plants and
greenery will make a beautiful and
/ picturesque setting for the New

Daily Grain Letter.
CHICAGO. H., December lit I
should be remembered that the
Argentine future market is some,
thing of a joke. Argentine
shipments fairly good at 376,0o0. /
Australian shipments reported delay
ed. Local sentiment is still strongly
bullish and an important factor in
price making. The firm tone OF the
cash market and the somewhat con-
gested situation in December are
strong influences on the May price
which is easily advanced in spite OF
bearish crop reports an dthe fact that
foreign markets although firm are lar
below American price level.
Corn Argentine shipments fairly
liberal 100000. Weather conditions
excellent for movement and grading
of new crop. Elevator people are hay-
ing more success in making contract
corn for December delivery owing to-
the amount of drying necessary this
corn is Of more or less doubtful
character and not to be recommended
in its carrying qualities. We are still
friendly to corn on all soft spots and
believe it will work higher. The cas-
Ter tone of the cash market and De-
scember make it more difficult to adj
vance May prices, especially as the
strongest bear interest are very per-
sistent in selling May on bulges.
Oats-Changing operations have
been on large scale for some days.
December oats are more nearly even
ed up. Scattered shorts have covered
| freely. Elevator people have changed
over to May which they have sold on
| all hard spots and bulges. We believe
oats are in strong position but adj
wise profit taking on the bulges. Buy
May oats on any good break. We be-
lieve the short side of December oats
extremely risky but do not really eX-
pect any sensational movement.

Washington, June 2. - President
Taft approved a change In the naval
regulations recommended by Secretary
Meyer. by which midshipmen are pro-
hibited from marrying until the COM
pletion of the prescribed six years
course of training.
Permission of the secretary of the
navy has been sought by number
OF midshipmen who desired to be al
lowed to marry after their graduation
from the naval academy and by others
while they are on their two years
tour of instruction at sea. The naval
academy regulations forbid any mid
shipman from marrying while at the
academy. but do not apply to midship-
men VINO have graduated and are serv'

United States naval regulations pre-
venting the midshipmen from marry

lions provides an absolute prohibition

The PHILADELPHIA
TROLLEY STRIKE
Situation is Unchanged and
There Is Little Disorder.

Philadelphia, June 1.-THE first or.
binary business day since the begin
ming OF the street car mems strike
here last Saturday morning closed
with conditions practically unchanged.
The Traction company notified Its men
that those who had been discharged
for striking on Saturday would be
taken back II they reported for work
at once. Men who had been discharg.
ed for trifiing offenses in the past
were also welcomed back. BY the aid
OF the recruits hired In this and other
cities the company was enabled to
run TOO Of Its 5000 cars.
The first disturbance In the central
part OF the city occurred when men
employed In erecting high building
In Chestnut street and Thirteenth
showered nails and other missiles on
a passing car. No arrests were made,
but the police notified the builders
that a repetition of the occurrence
would result in all work on the build
ing being stopped until after the close
of the strike. AS on previous days,
there was little disorder and those ar
rested were held upon very trivial
charges.
The mayor extended the time which
saloons are allowed to remain open
from 6 a. m. until 8 p m.
The Business Mems association pre-.
sented to Mayor Reyburn an appeal
for arbitration to settle the strike. The
mayor declared he does not favor arbi-
tration, and said; IF order is preserv.
ed and the cars are running that is all
that is necessary"
Labor leaders are planning a mon
ster demonstration for Thursday,
when they contemplate parade of the
$4,000 members of the Building Trades
Council OF Philadelphia. The members
of the textile trades, numbering 10000
men more, are also expected to join In
the demonstration.
