THRELKBLD.-The funeral of the
late Lealdes F. Threlkeld, who died OF
apcplexy at Lees Summit, Mo-, Satur'
day, January Is, 1910, occurred at Os-
kaloosa, Tuesday afternoon, at Forest
cemetery. The service was conduct
ed at the McAuley Chapel in the GEM
etery under the direction of the Mod
err Woodiilen of America, of which
organization the deceased was a mem,
Der. The address was delivered by
Rev. Eugene Allen OF the Methodist
church, and the music was by mem
hers OF the Methodist choir. The
grave service was conducted by the
Woodmen. The chapel was filled to
capacity for the funeral and every
available inch of standing room was
occupied. A multitude Of handsome
floral pieces we're sent by friends and
Others In tribute to the memory Of
the deceased.
The circumstances connected with
the death OF the man are particularly
sad. He had been called to Lees
Summit, Mo-, about twenty-five miles
from Kansas City, by the illness and
death of brother stricken with ty-
phofd fever. Mr. Threlkeid stayed at
the grave to witness the completion
of the last work following the depart
ure of all others who had come to the
burying place. He was stricken with
paralysis While at the grave of the
brother and fell beside it unconscious.
He was a stranger to those at the
grave and none knew him nor where
he was staying. Some one recog-
nized the unfortunate as one they had
seen at hotel and ne was taken to
the place. Not until after he was
placed in his room was a physician
summoned and the fact established
that the patient was suffering from
apoplexy. He fingered from Tuesday
until Saturday, when he died. The
wife and her brother, Jesse ROSS, were
called by telegraph and went to the
bedside. In returning with the body
they met with annoying delays. The
deceased leaves a wife and two chill
dren. The family resided southeast
OF Oskaioosa about three miles and
the deceased was highly regarded in
the community. ls'' .1

While on the subject of the demand
for American goods, it is worth not

few barber shops are now supplied
with the American style chair, and,
when in Berlin, found only one shop
in which American chairs were in
stalled. Some time ago progressive
German. who had spent nine years in
New York, took back with him four
American barber chairs and opened a
small shop in his native city, He
got all the trade. But when he tried
to sell chairs to others, he met a
snag; and herein lies one of the rea-
sons why American goods are not more
generally used in many foreign coun-
tries. The manufacturer, OF whom he

men. Crops of every character. both
horticultural and agricultural show
increases in quantity. and quality as
well as the highest figures.
Canon City shows an increase Of
about 6 per cent over October of 1909.
These low figures are due to the fact
that the apple crop, the principal crop
OF that section of the valley, has just
begun to be moved by the railroads
and their increase will perhaps show
up to 20 or 80 per cent by the time
the entire crop has been moved.
Pueblo shows an increase Of per
cent in general shipments for the
month of October. This figure will
be greatly increased for the month
OF November on account of the heavy
cattle shipments throughout this sec
ton. The shipments of cattle fell off
somewhat during the week preceding
Thanksgiving on account of the agi-
tation of prices on the cattle market
Yesterday, however, the movement
in cattle took brisk turn with the
of cattle.

BIG INCREASE IN CROPS
IN ARKANSAS VALLEY

Pueblo. Nov. 26-That the increase
In the shipments in products shown
by the railroads in the earlier part of
the season were not indications of a
temporary prosperity among the agri-
culturists of the Arkansas valley is
evidenced by the last reports OF the
season which were finished yesterday
by the three railroads operating in
the valley showing that during the
month of October there was an in
crease of 163k per cent for the entire
valley. Some of the towns of the
valley show a decrease for the month
Of October but this is due to late
movement of the crops and will be
made up later in the fall and during
the present month. OF the towns
that show an increase the little vii
iage OF Manzanola leads with the
