O'Clock.
IT rs A WHAT IS IT"
Some say the Indians Of an Old
Mound Are Coming Back to
Earth With Water Power
News.

Not only has great excitement been
caused among the live" ones by the
announcement that Keokuk and Hamil-
tons water power dam would be
built but the dead ones are also ex.
periencing much uneasiness or great
hilarity over the matter, SO much so
that they are trying to get out OF
the frozen ground and shout for joy,
or make protests.
This morning at Fourteenth and
johnson streets one of the queerest
freaks of natural gas, or a broken
water main under the street, caused
q crowd to collect around hump in
the street that puts the massive frame
of old Jumbo to shame. What caused
the eruption on the smooth surface OF
Johnson street at this point is not
known unless a water main under the
street burst or natural gas formed
and could not get out on account OF
the heavy coating of ice over the
street.

many and varied.
Some one said the place was a

Prices Creeping Upward.

This table shows far more eonclusively
than the London statement that prices
have increased over the whole period OF
eighteen yesrs. They were from to IS
per cent higher in 1890 than for the ten
years succeeding. They were still higher
the following year. from which time
under the operation of various causes
they rapidly decreased TO the year 1899.
the year 1895 showing the lowest prices
known since actual records were kept.
From 1900 the rise has been practically
continuous, the figures for 1905, the last
available, showing from Il to SO per cent
advance upon the commodities most used
in the affairs OF everyday life.
With this table in hand no one can
doubt that for good or III the cost Of liv-
ing has advanced at a tremendous rate
during the last nine years. When the
figures for 1903 are made up they will
probably show that the increased cost
of living is greater than ever before.
and that the percentage of increase Is
sufficient to cause apprehension in the
mind Of the consumer who has the bills
to pay.

PRICES INCREASE
AT A RAPID RATE
Statistics Presented Which
Show Actual Facts.

While no one doubts that the prices OF
the principal necessaries Of life have ad-
vanced quite rapidly in recent years, few
have at hand the facts 10 prove such an
assertion. II is not easy TO ascertain IN
actual figures just how much the advance
has been, let alone the causes
II is the purpose of this article to set
forth as clearly as possible from the best
available sources the cost Of the COM
modities most used during the last eight
cen or twenty years.
The most famous source of information
on this subject is the statements prepared
by A. Sauerbeck, OF London. which were
made familiar in the United states during
the years Of the silver agitation and fire.
euently referred TO since that time.
Mr. Sauerbeck is publicist who deals
with statistics in London, and his tables
are based upon the prices Of forty-lye
staple commodities sold in the markets
OF London. He averages the monthly
prices OF these commodities each year
and expresses the cost in terms OF per
centages when compared with his first
series Of tables. covering the ten years
from 1871 to 1877. His tables show the
following percentages from 1875 10 1903.
inclusive, as follows:
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1910-01-23

The table shows that there was an al
most constant decline in prices ii an
open worlds market from the period
adopted as the base down TO the year
1885. and an upward movement since then
except for the reaction in 1898 In the lat
ter year prices averaged about the same
as in ISIS
For the five years 1s94-9S prices were
practically at a standstin al the lowest
point ever known, and in all recent dis
cussions Of rising prices and the increased
cost Of living these five years are usual
~ taken as the basis Of comparison The
first thing to be said about such state
ments IS that those prices were excep-
tional, and cannot properly be used 10
show the usual level OF prices in the past
lit is within common knowledge that
they were made In time Of extreme de
preston. under industrial conditions in
lcomparabIy worse than those OF 1865. 4
part at least Of the rise which has occur
red since then is 10 be regarded as a nor
NAL recovery, and needs no other ex-
PLANTATION
In the United states no continuous ia
bles Of the cost Of commodities have
been kept over period so long as those
Of Sauerbeck. The Bureau OF Labor has
! kept a record dating from 1880 Of 80
commodities, and tables issued in the
bulletin Of that bureau afford the best
authoritative figures on the subject. The
cost Of the commodities covered are
wholesale prices averaged and expressed
in percentages compared with the aver
| age prices between 1890 and 1896. The
