cisrinds.

The many friends here OF Rev VIII
Hanson who was pastor OF the United
Presbyterian church for nineteen
years. viii be interested in the an
nouncement that he has resigned his
pastorate at Burlington. His future
plans are not decided but it is said
that he viii take western trip OF
several weeks and after that will con-
slider call from Clarinda.
The following from the Burlington
Gazette will be read with much inter
est in Keokuk:
Dr. ". c. Williamson, pastor of the
United Presbyterian church, formally
announced his resignation TO the con-
gregation at the close OF services yes
terday morning. In the announcement
he made the statement that he is get
ting along in years and that the active
and vigorous work required here was
too strenuous and that ne felt he would
have TO give it up to some younger
man Regarding his future move
ments, he is yet undecided. He has
call TO Clarinda, Iowa, but he has an
opportunity of going to the Pacific
coast for q few months and as ne IS
in need OF rest. it is likely that he
will take this course, considering the
Clarinda matter later.
VIII Quit April 10.
The resignation will come before the
meeting of the presbytery which will
be held in Keokuk April 13, and DR..
Wiliiamson's last Sunday in Burling-
ton will be April 19. He will hold
communion the Sunday previous 10

DR.. Williamson is prominent in the
church and has been identified with 1t
SO long in the capacity as minister that
he will be well taken care of in regard
to a new assignment or charge His
Burlington congregation will regret
his leaving. as no more capable man
has ever nlled the pulpit here and no
one has worked harder to build up the
church and make it more effective.
The church is in splendid condition
financially and in point of members
He has finished the work he came
here 10 do, to build new CHURCH, and
he feels that he leaves the local church
at good point when a new man can
take up the charge with no burden to
carry
DR.. Williamson is in his 6Ith year
and has been in the ministry almost
half a century His first assignment
was at Washington and his second
was at keokuk, where he remained
nineteen years. He has been in Bur
lington five years.

Schwandts, but is expected to bristle
with interest, as much of the evidence
that will be presented against the
other defendants will be presented
against Smith.
Arthur Schaub, the attorney for the
defendant, states that some surprises
will be brought out as the trial pro-
ceeds. The defendant will stick to the
story that he has twice given on the
witness stand, and the defense expects
to corroborate this with so much
other evidence that Smith will be con
victed only of being an accessory af-
ter the fact. He does not aim for
an acquittal but is, willing to take
his punishment as an accessory, and
no doubt would have pleaded guilty
to such a charge had he been indicted
for it.

high relatively as high priced beef. In
other words, it is a safe inference that
the poorer classes of people pay twice
as much profit to their market men
on meat that they buy as the richer
classes. 1t is also true that the per-
centage of profit is lower on all the
good cuts than it is upon the least
desirable.
1T will be noticed also that as a
rule the prices are lower in large than
in the small towns, which is probably
due to competition.
Secretary Wilson says a word in
defense of the retailer, and reminds
us that city customers insist upon
the prompt delivery of their purchases
and this requires a man, horse and
man to send one of his clerks to their
dwellings to take their orders. This de-
livery service is costly and the retail
business is overdone. "The multiplica-
tion of small shops, the report says,
''is burden to consumers and no
source of riches to the small shop
keeper. When twenty or more small
shops divide the retail business within
ain area that could be served by one
large shop, the expenses of the many
shops for labor, horses, rent and other
things that are in excess of what
would be sufficient for the one snop,
must go into the retail prices of the

Enploye of Omaha Road Sustains
Crushed Leg at Fairmont

Fairmont, Dec. 6.-Conductor Scott
of the Omaha road sustained a most
painful injury Friday night and one
that will confine him to the house a
long time. While assisting in the
work of switching cars just pre-
vious to the departure of the six
o'clock train, and while between
two cars, he slipped and his right
leg was caught by the war wheels
and terribly crushed and lacerated
between the ankle and knee.
The wheel cut so close as to
scrape the bone of the leg but for
tunately did not iniure the bone. The
flesh and muscles were torn and la
cerated in frightful manner. The
main muscle was. however. not seri-
ously injured.
DR.. Richardson was summoned and
after the injured man was taken to
his home on Lake Avenue, assisted by
DR.. Lucdtke. worked long time in
dressing and sewing up the injured
parts. The physicians realize that re-
covery will be slow but believe Mr..
Scott will finally recover the use of
the leg, though it may be perma
nently weakened.
