Prices Here and Abroad.

While in consequence Of good aV-
erage crops, except cotton, the prices
of cereals have declined, the general
average of the price of all necessi-
ties was only one fifth Of one per
cent lower on October 1st than on
September 1st. Bradstreet's index
numb ber shows that the average price
Of commodities on October 1st Is
the highest ever recorded for. that
month, and Is only :3.2 per cent be-
low the highest ever recorded, which
was on January 1st of this year, or
62 per cent higher than on July l.,
1896. So, present prices are now a
little less than go per cent above
the low. prices in 1895.
II wages, salaries and incomes
would all Increase uniformly with
prices there would be but little to
complain about; but prices increase
much more rapidly than do wages
and incomes, and that is the reason
for the present business depression.
People cannot buy more than they
have wages to pay for, so they cut
off luxuries and even some necessl-
ties; thus there is lessened demand
for such articles, and the manufac-
turers decrease production, the
wholesalers buy less aud SO do the
retailers. Whatever the reason for
the disparity between incomes and
expenditures, the result Is to greatly
disturb business.
The Democrats show that one OF
the chief causes of these abnormal
ly high prices is the tariff protection
to the trusts and combines that very
generally control production of not
only manufactured goods, but also
many food products. The Democrat
ic contention is fully bourne out by
the difference in the increase in
prices in Great Britain and here dur
ing the same period, as shown by the
index number of the London Econ
omist. The percentage Of increase
in the average price Of commodities
in England from June 1897 to Sep
tember /, 1910 has been 33 per cent.
AS England is virtually free
trade nation, the tariff being low and
on but a few articles, the rise in
prices there must be from world
wide cause, and the 27 per cent.
higher prices in the United States
can be fairly charged to the tariff.
AS England buys great deal Of
food stuffs from us, the greatly in
creased price Of food here has In
creased the price of food in England,
while, clothing and other necessities
have been practically stable there.
So, the real difference in the cost Of
living in protected America and free
trade England is actually greater
than 27 per cent, as. the figures
show. If we all could buy what we
now purchase for 81. per cent. less,
we could save over one quarter OF
our incomes and wages, or. could
spend it in better living or luxur-. :.
What boom" times that :. would
make!

LUXURIOUS SLEEPING CARS.

Other convenienees.
The latest sleeping cars in India are
fitted luxuric:isly. Like most torsiso
cars they are divided INTO cCmpdrt-
ments. 5ut i corridor runs from end
to end Of tie car. Each compartment
contains two berths. The upper berth
is OF peculiarly ingenious design, SO
compactly constructed that casual
observer would fail to see how 1t can
be lowered.
The compartments are large enough
to accommodate the luggage that any
two persons can require, and are tit
ted up with all kinds of conveniences.
Every compartment has an electric
fan under the control of the passeng-
ers, and of the three electric lamps
one Is a small! night lamp that can be
kept burning all night without incon.
venience.
If a party Is too large for a single
compartment, says the Railroad Mans
Magazine, sliding door connecting
with the adjoining compartment can
be thrown open. On the other hand,
if the passenger desires ne can lock
his docr, pull down his Venetian
blinds and be secure from intrusion.
At each end of the coacli is rocmy
bathroom, vita large BATH half sunk
IL the A::ar, the walls lined with MIR
rors, and equipped with e.ery imagin-
able sanitary device. There is also
servants compartment. 1t Is SAID
that this coach has been approved by
the railway board as the standard
type for India rolling stock.

OVENS STATUS TO
Be DECIDED SOON
City Committee Votes Wednesday
Evening On Proposal To Provide
Him With Headquarters.

Whether the Republican city COM
mittee will support Proctor X. Owens
candidacy for mayor will probably be
decided In a meeting of the commit
tee scheduled for Wednesday night.
On the committees action no doubt
will depend the attitude OF the other
Republican organizations of the city
toward the head of the city ticket An
Endorsement by the city committee
would compel the others to fall In
line.
The test will come when the COM
mittee votes on q suggestion to be
made by Rondo Bunnell, the chair
man, with regard to providing Owens
with campaign headquarters. Mr..
Bunnell has secured an option on
rooms 412 and Alb, in the Ford build
ing, and he will recommend that one
of them. presumably Alb, be turned
over to Owens for his use in the cam
paign, inasmuch as Proctor has no
campaign fund of his own. II the
committee sees fit to concur In this
suggestion its action will amount to
Endorsement. Otherwise, Mr.. Owens
will have to paddle his own canoe as
far as the city committee Is concern
ed.
There Is every reason to believe
that Owens will receive the commit
tees Endorsement, for sentiment
among the members seems to favor
such a course. There are few sore
heads, 1t is understood, but whether
they will assert themselves to the ex-
tent OF opposing an Endorsement re-
mains to be seen.

WANTS NEW HUSBAND TO PAY
FEE FOR WIFE'S OPERATION
Doctor Says N. c. AmsdiIi Declared
He Was Backing Woman In Divorce
Suit and Would Settle Bill.

An interesting history of the d.
vorce case OF Elizabeth vs. Frank
Kiser was brought out in Justice Otis
court, Monday. during the trial of the
case of DIR. Morris ID. Silver against
Nelson c. and Elizabeth Amsdill. The
doctor brought suit to recover $50
for an operation performer for Mrs.
Amsdill before her divorce from Kiser
The plaintiff testified that Amsdill
told him he was backing Mrs. Kiser
in her suit for divorce, that he in
tended to marry her and would pay
the bill.
Mrs. Kiser was granted decree by
Judge Murfin, Oct. 4, 1909, on a
charge OF cruelty.
The plaintiff also testified that Ans
ain borrowed $40 from him. saying
he needed the money to get married
with. This was later repaid.
Amsdill denied making any bargain
with the doctor to pay Mrs. Kiser's
bill, and denied that he backed her In
her divorce suit. He admitted Dor
row ing $50 from the doctor, but claim
ed Ii was for the use of the then Mrs.
Kiser, and that he merely got It to
save her the trouble. Mrs. Amsdill
also denied that her present husband
assisted her In getting a divorce, and
corroborated his testimony that the
$50 borrowed from the plaintiff was
for her use.
The case was heard by jury,
which was still out when court ad-
journed at noon.

SAYS WIFE KICKED
HIM OUT OF HOUSE
Edward Mathis Compelled To Sleep
In Barn With Rats, He Alleges in
Divorce Court.

That he was kicked out OF the
house by his wife and compelled to
sleep In the barn. with only rats for
companions, is one OF the complaints
made by Edward Mathis, In a bill for
divorce filed, Monday. The pair were
married In Russia by a rabbi In 1856
and have seven children, the young
est three years OF age. and the eld-
est %.
Mathis says In his bill that he ir
81 years old, small and feeble. being
only four feet ten inches tall, and
weighing about 80 pounds. His wife.
he says, Is a large, angular woman.
Of great strength, and loves to dis
play her athletic and pugilistic abil-
ity upon him. She also takes grea
delight In ridiculing him, he says. and
because of his personal appearance
calls him monkey" and monkey.

On March 10. of this year, Mathis
says, he refused to 60 out into the
country with his peddling pack, as he
had done for years, whereupon his
wife threw him cut of the house and
compelled him to sleep In the barn.
He also charges that she has so In
fuenced the children against him that
they refer to him usually as mon
key" Recently, he says. his wife In
sisted that he draw $500 out Of the
bank with which to buy some prop
erty. AS he entered the home he
says his wife called out: Here's the
money now" and then the whole fam
fly fell upon him. When he recov-
cred he found himself on the floor
and the money gone.
Mathis was In business on Hast
ings-st.. for several years. in addition
to conducting his peddling business,
and says he Is worth about $4,000.
His wife has possession OF a great
deal of this property. and he was
granted an injunction. restraining her
from selling or disposing of any of 1t.
A bill for divorce was also filed
Monday. by Mayme vs. Charles Lee
May. The wife charges extreme cruel
ty, alleging that he struck her, called
her vile names. and made false ac-
cusations in front OF other people.
