that Miss Abbie was visiting friends in

Dean Of Drake Conservatory of Mu-

Des Moines, Jan. THAT the tragic
Thanksgiving day death Of Dean Fred

conservatory of music was not due to
acute gastritis, as at first reported, but
to morphine poisoning, is the report OF
DR.. J. H. Hoeve. which Coroner liver G..

coroner last night. but gave the sub
stance of 1t to the coroner orally He
says that an examination of the organs

of narcotics. Professor Kinney. who is
making a chemical analysis for the
coroner has not yet filed his report.

he Will continue his investigation In

was badly discolored. thus plainly

| The official report of DR.. Hoeve,
which for the first time is made public,
confirms rumors which have been cur
rent since the death Of Dean Howard,
that his demise was not due to the
cause which was first given out.
| Dean Howard's death was discovered
early Thanksgiving morning. He had
been contemplating moving from his
apartments and on the eve OF the holi-
day partook of a dinner there In his
honor A short time later he COM
planned of illness and was attended by
DR.. d. c. Bice, who lived next door.
DIR. Bice informed the coroner that
he had given Dean Howard three small
doses of morphine to allay the pain.
Later in the evening he was thought
to be resting easily, and was left alone.
| In the morning friend called to see
| him. Knocking and receiving no an
swer, he entered and was surprised to
see his friend dead. In the confusion
resulting from the deans sudden de-
mise it was thought that death had re-
suited from acute gastritis, from which
he had been suffering. After everyone
had become calm, however, a more
minute investigation seemed to make
evident the fact that this was not the
cause. Acting on information fur
nished him the coroner conducted a
close investigation. He not only dep
utized DR.. Hoeve to examine the dead
man, but also asked Professor Kinney
to make chemical analysis.

Cedar Rapids, Jan. THE suicide
Of Miss Belle Braden at Webb City,
Mo- whose body was brought to this
city and taken to the home of her sis
ter, Mrs. Newman, is the unhappy end
ing Of very beautiful but unfortunate
life. She was born and raised In the
neighborhood of Cedar Rapids, and is
Of Il splendid family. About twenty
Yeas ago she went to Anamosa and
was for that number of years in the
employ of Dr. M P. !Sigworth.
SHE was a girl of exceptionally
strong personality, made many ten

nected socially with the well-to-d do
people Of the city, which is very I'M

About two years ago she became
Interested in the church at Anamosa
under the pastorate of Rev. Dean C..
Du eton, and became very earnest
and faithful Christian, and united
with the church. In the church work
She was just as earnest as she was In
everything else she went into. and it
was there she met young man who
had recently united with the church.
Charles Ireland. young man who en-
joyed good company and innocently
was associated with her and never
DIRE AIMED that anything serious would
come of their relations. But that
which so often occurs happened.
Cupid's dart had struck its fatal blow
ana Miss Braden had become very
pronouncedly attached to him. He
was twenty years her Junior; a man
of fine parts and splendid morals, an
exemplary man in every way.
FINALLY matters became so serious
it was seen that their relations must
be discontinued, because the discrep-
ancy in their ages made 1t absolutely
necessary: and the tshocll was toe
great for her nervous, high strung ma
tture and she made an unsuccessful
attempt at suicide. She then went to
the state Of Washington, to her sister.
and Rev Mr.. Dutton, not knowing her
experience other than that she had dis
continued her relations, invited her to
come to their home, in the meantime
having moved to Webb City, Mo-,
where she went in September and has
since lived. She was a close friend
Of the family and took a great inter-
est in their work, but it was impos-
sible for her to rise above the tre-

tuyging away in her inner nature.
For some time she had shown signs
Of homesickness and dependency.

also another to dear lady friend, she

cades the increase in the population In
the United States has been consider
ably over 90 per cent each twenty
years. and it will certainly be safe to
assume that the increase for the de-
cade ending 1910 will be no less than
for the previous similar periods. Fig
uring on this basis, our population in
the past three years has increased
about per cent: while, on the other
hand, the receipts of butter at New

OF the United States, shows for three
years ending May j, 1908, an actual
decrease of s per cent. In the last
three years the population Of the

Cold Storage Affects.
"The effect of cold storage upon
the butter business has been to keep
prices higher in the summer time thar
they would ordinarily be and what is
more important, to keep the prices
from going as high in the winter
time as they would otherwise do. So
that, as q whole, cold storages are an
advantage not only to the manufacture
er Of butter and the farmer who pro-
duces the milk but especially to the
consumer who, I believe, benefits more
in the end than do the first mentioned
parties, because of the lower average
price OF butter maintained by reason
of the cold storage.

cent years that cold storage plants
have been made use of for holding but

Waterloo, Jan. 7-During the past
few weeks there has been considerable
discussion regarding the present high
price of butter, which has been attained
by a steady advance since early last
fall. Even now the condition is not set
tied and there is possibility that the
market will go still higher before
relief comes to the consumer. A great
many are asking why this high price,
ana are accusing the dealer Of hold
up when he is charging SO cents per
pound for the table necessity. Some OF
the consumers are now beginning to
talk butter trust" An interview with
Z. r. Shoemaker, editor of the Cream
cry Journal, will be of interest to
readers as to the present situation.
II have noticed In the local daily
papers OF late a considerable amount
OF black head lines and more or less
discussion with reference to the al
legged butter trust. / believe l am
pretty we'll in touch with the butter
situation in this country. l know l am
correct when l say that there never was
a butter trust. that there is no butter
trust. now, and that the very vastness
of the butter manufacturing industry as
at present conducted precludes the
probability of there ever being but
ter trust.
Supply and Demand.
THE price of butter is dependent
on supply and demand. and the truth
is that there does not begin to be
enough produced in the United States
today to take care OF the demand. In
Iowa, for instance, while there are less
creameries than there were a year ago,
per cent more butter was made in the
state last year than in the previous
year, but nearly 100.000,000 pounds of
this was shipped out of the state,
which gives some idea of the demand
from the large market centers for this
product. And this great amount goes
out of the state because of the demand
and the price offered.
