The doctor took an X-ray photograph
of the injured shoulder and after
thorough examination pronounced the
shoulder blade fractured. Chance at
once asked If he could continue play
ing ball without running the risk of
putting himself out Of the game for
life and was rold that he might go on
for weeks without being hurt again
but IL he was hurt he would have TO
retire from the national game. Chance
decided to take a conservative view
and allowed his shoulder to be put in
a plaster cast, which the doctor hopes
will aid matters materially but gives

 And patient hope IS crowned, And everlasting light

DAUGHTER
SOON A BRIDE

Chicago, Oct. 2O-Friends and reIa-
tives of Mrs. James H. EckeIs, denied
that her beautiful country residence at.
Oconomowoc, would be sold to satisfy
claims of creditors of her deceased
husband.
Although a petition in the probate
court shows that claims in excess OF
$1,OO0,O0O are held against the estate
of the one-time comptroller of the cur
rency and president of the CONNER
ciaI National bank of Chicago, it was
said that the OconomoWoc home
would remain in the possession of xIrs.
Eckels and become the home of Miss
Phoebe Eckels, only offspring of the
dead banker, who is to be married No
yember II to John Archibald Stevens.
1t was intimated by those in close
touch with the financial affairs of the
family that reports of the financial
straits of the Eckels estate had been
exaggerated. Attorney John D. Hood,
representing Judge K. NJ. Lands and
George NJ. EckeIs, administrators OF
the estate, said that every claim on
loans, ETC., was amply protected by
collateral securities. Many of these
claims, it was said, had already been
paid through the sale of such securi-
ties.
The picturesque home at Oconomo-
voc has been the favorite residence
of Mrs. Eckels and her daughter. It
is a rambling house, situated on a
hill overlooking Lac la Belle and sur
rounded by many acres of terraced
garden and lawn.
Mrs. Eckels is i'll at her home. Her
daughter who was in Oconomowoc at
4 house party given in honor Of her
and her fance, has returned. Prepa-
rations were being made for the we'd
ding which will be largely attended,
though, it is said, not an elaborate af-
fair.
The Chicago house will be given up
by Mrs. EckeIs after her daughters
marriage, it is said, and most Of her
time will be passed with her daughter
at Oconomowoc. The valuable silver
and curios that belonged to Mr.. Eek
els have been retained and will be
sent there.

NOT AFRAID OF FRENCH
TARIFF RETALIATION

Washington, Oct 2O.-Government
officials are not disposed to regard the
action of France in assessing maxi
mum duties against all imports from
the United States as an evidence OF
her intention to wage a tariff war
against the United States.
On August 7 President Taft. in pur-
suance of the new tariff act, notified
France, Switzerland and Bulgaria that
our commercial agreements with them
would be terminated Oct. 81. Other
governments were notified that SINH
lar agreements would terminate GER
tain other dates.
Last month the French government
abrOgated our commercial agreement
with that country and since then there
has been no other expectation than
that beginning Nov. / American ex-
ports to France would be taxed at the
maximum rates, as from that date the
expectations Of France to the United
States will pay our full schedule rates.
These rates will be continued until
March 81, when the new maximum
and minimum features of the act go
into effect.
France more than any other coun
try in Europe has Disseminated
against American products. Germany
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1909-10-21

gives the United States her minimum
rates on 95 per cent Of our eXpOrta-
tons into Germany. France charged
her maximum rates on all our eXpOr-
tations. with the exception Of a very
few articles enumerated in the Ding
ley tariff act. 1t remains TO be seen
whether between now and March 81
France will give the United States
her minimum rates on substantially
all our exports to France or accept
the consequence Of having to pay our
maximum rates. These are the SEIZED
ule rates Of the new tariff act, with
% per cent added.
The effect Of having to pay our
maximum rate undoubtedly viii put
France at q tremendous disadvantage
as compared with the other European
nations in handling American goods.
America is probably Frances best
market for brandies and wines. 1t is
expected that she will seriously con,
slider whether she can afford to pay a
rate considerably higher than she has
been paying, also an additional in,
crease of 25 per cent over this.
1t is reported that the preseryative
used in the French champagnes might
come under the ban of the pure food
regulation This may figure in the
event Of retaliatory steps.
