DUMPED INTO
THE RIVER
Fifty-Nine Bushels of Tomatoes Were
Thrown Into the Big Stream
When Two Crafts Clash

A gasoline launch and barge which
is owned by the Jemison Brothers, of
Montrose, encountered an accident
Saturday night while tied to TIE wharf
at that city.
Saturday afternoon they brought a
barge load of tomatoes from Nauvoo
to Montrose to be consumed IN the
Montrose Canning factory, but owing
to the inability in getting them UNI
loaded before night fall they decided
to leave them remain and unload
them later But the Steamer Wenona,
not knowing that these two crafts
were anchored at the wharf, attempt
ed to make her usual landing, and in
doing so, she broke the barge into,
throwing fifty nine bushel of the to-
matoes into the river.
1t was lucky thing for the owners
of the tomatoes that the barge was
not a great rdistance from the shore,
otherwise they would have lost the
entire cargo. The loss of the toma-
toees is estimated to be $3.50. So far,
means for a settlement have not been
announced.

If the federal statutes never was he
confronted with such trying ordeal
as in the arrest of an indicted man
Yesterday. That man was Andrew Hill

The arrest was pathetic and even
the officer was sufficiently overcome
by the sorrowful picture to permit his
prisoner to spend Sunday with his
family. Hillman had returned from
church. Surrounding him were his
wife and two pretty daughters. The
Keokuk deputy marshal called at the

HOLY Roman Emnire.

The Holy Roman empire, or German
Roman empire, began with Charles the
Great, king of the Franks, who was
crowned emperor of the west in 500.
He proclaimed himself the representa-
tive of the ancient Roman emperors
and asserted theoretical authority over
the nations OF west and central Eu-
rome. This empire was called holy be-
cause of the interdependence of the
empire and the church. In general it
comprised the German-speaking ma
lions of central Europe and had for a
long time a close relationship with
Italy.
According to one authority the Holy
Roman empire was in reality the Ger.
manhattan empire established by Otto
l., the Saxon king who was crowned in
Rome by Pope John XII. on February
2, 962.
At best this empire of history was
ideal rather than real. 1t never actu.
ally existed in the form of a genuine
central government, fully recognized
by those within its boundaries.

Dali Grain Letter.

CHICAGO, Sept. 26th, 1910--We bid
call prices less our regular commits
sion On white oats, all shipments and
corn 10 days shipment good until
9:15 a. NJ, Tuesday morning.
Wheat-There has been little to
disturb the price level. Pit operations
were few and the market on the whole
was dull. Statistic are bearish, the
visible showing an increase of over
two and one-half million. The figures
now present the imposing total of
more than 80, million. Bearish Stats
tics and lack of outside interest, as
well as low foreign price level, point
the way to lower figures in America.
Corn-The market still turns on
weather conditions, which are not sat
1sfactory General rains are keeping
the corn green and causing fears of
damage, as much corn is said to be
down, as result of high winds. Low
temperatures in the west and fore
cast of frost in portions of Iowa, north
ern Kansas and Nebraska, caused fur
Their fears. Country offerings are
lighter, and the market is not under
so much pressure. A lack of specula-
tive interest is against any bull move
ment. That the new crop will be
large is an undoubted fact Stocks of
old corn apparently have been under
estimated. The whole situation ap-
pears to be heavy, and although raj
lies may result from unfavorable
weather conditions the general ten
dency on the market is to a lower
level.
Oats-Present no interesting features
that have not already been fully dis
cussed They fuctuate in sympathy
with the other markets, but in the
main act heavy.
Provisions-A demand from shorts
in nearby deliveries steadies prices.
Cash demand has not improved. There
is more speculative interest in Jan
uary product. Provisions are too high
and must eventually seek a lower lev
ell. Sales of forward deliveries should
be profitable, especially on hard spots.
Sample Market-Wheat, quiet. Of
ferings small Premiums about steady

Offerings fairly good. Oats, steady
