pain. of New London. who was re.
Gently sued by her Tilted lover, Fred
Wellington, for $1,000 damages in a
breach of promise suit, has come
back" and has filed an answer to the
petition filed, denying all the charges
made by her former lover.
She denies that she ever proposed
marriage to him and that a marriage
agreement was entered into between
them. She says that IF a marriage
agreement existed she was justified In
breaking the same by reason of the
following facts: While she kept COM
pany with the plaintiff he was gener-
ally ill-humored and continually found
fault with her. He was disagreeable,
boorish and unreasonably jealous.
Whenever defendant was in his COM
pany he talked and acted in such
manner as to make her unhappy.
She also names as an additional and
more important reason why plaintiff
was not a fit person to enter In mar
rage relation with, that he was unfit
physically, fact that she claims she
did not know when she first started to
go with him.

orTUMwA MAN TELLS OF TEXAS.
J. z. Anderson Tells Of Climatic and
Agricultural Conditions Nea'
@ Canyon.

J. E. Anderson, former resident of
Ottumwa who removed to Canyon,
Texas, in November of last year gives
an interesting description of the agri-
cultural conditions of that section Of
the state in letter to the Courier.
Mr.. Anderson states that last winter
was mild one and that the following
early spring worked great benefit to
the crops. In the vicinity of Canyon,
he asserts, the principal crops are
milo maize, kaffir corn, wheat, oats
barley, spalty, cane and millet. Indian
corn can be successfully grown there
to which he can vouch because of the
excellence Of eight acres which he has
grown this year. All crops did well
this season. The water, be says is as
soft as rain water and Is obtained
without fail at a distance of from
seventy-five to one hundred feet. The
climate in his mind is ideal as the
nights are cool and the temperature
seldom reaches 100 degrees. Mr..
Anderson gives very interesting de-
scription of a trip to Pala Duro canyon,
the beauty of which cannot be real
lied without viewing 1t. ~

London Comments on Result.
London, Sept. 22.-The overwhelm.
| ing defeat of Premier Laurier aId the
liberal governments policy OF reel
procity with the United States at the
|, polls in Canada yesterday came as a
surprise to England.
1t had been expected that the liberal
majority would be decreased, but even
the strongest opponents OF reciprocity
had not so much as suggested such
majority as the conservative leader,
Mr.. Borden, obtained. The result gem
orally is welcomed here, as English
men had felt that the trade arrange
ment presaged closer political rela-
lions between the neighbors and
. consequent loosening of the Imperial
ties.
There was slight relapse in Amer
lean securities on the stock exchange
this morning following the news OF
the liberal defeat, but prices soon re-
covered and later changes were
credited to other causes.
Bourassa's Strength Blamed.
The unionist and tariff reform
papers received the news with undis-
guised elation, while the liberal and
radical press reminds them that the
victory was obtained with the assist
ance OF Henri Bourassa. leader Of the
French nationalist group Of the OPP
position, who left Laurier because OF
the premiers attachment to the en-
pire.

the dispatches reciprocity Is defeated
by q decisive majority.t Personally l
am sorry to read the news for 1t
seemed to me the proposed treaty
would benefit both countries. great
ly admire the courage exhibited by
President Taft In calling the extra
session and giving his views so plain
ly to congress In support of the treaty.
The opposition to the liberals In the
campaign In Canada raised many 1s-
sues which looked to us at this dis
tance, as false issues, annexation, ap-
pealing to the patriotic pride and
fears Of competition of American made
goods and the long continued power
OF Laurier and his party. This all
worked against the real issue of bet
ter trade relations. The time has
been postponed but the issue will
again be submitted and Canada will
yet see that the offer was good one,
and as President Taft said in his Bat
tie Creek, Mich, speech, All custom
houses on the border line of Canada
should be abolished and the future
should be absolute free trade with
Canada"
JOHN c. JORDAN:-I am sorry to
hear of the defeat Of the reciprocity
treaty. am now and always have
been In favor of free trade, and reci-
procity between this country and Can
ada would have been long step In
that direction.
~. r. HACKWORTH:- think Can
ada had a perfect right to do as she
JNO. w. LEWIS: The lick just
given this countrd by the voters OF
Canada has knocked out the ground
chunks from some of our polltical
fences. Taft loses, In measure, the
credit Of his main achievement. On
the other side, 1t knocks the bottom
out of the farmers free list" ana
makes us really glad the president
vetoed that bill. Again, If Canada
spurns our offers Of free trade, what
is to become of the old time tariff
revision-downward' issue? Doesn't
it leave protection a fixed condition,
whatever be ones theories? In many
ways the vote of Canada yesterday is
bound to have profound and far
reaching effect.
w. H. H. AsBURY:-I believe that
the rejection of the proposed reel
procity pact by the Canadian people
is a great mistake, no less for the
Canadian people than for the people
of the United States. l believe the
advantages to the people Of both
countries would have been promoted
by the adoption of the measure.
Twenty years ago Canada was asking
for reciprocity, but in recent years
with the great development of agri-
culture and manufacturing, the extern
sion of transcontinental railroad sys-
tens, with the assurance that in two
decades their country will have twenty
millions of people instead of less than
eight millions now, with the prestige
of being a part and parcel Of the Brit
ish empire, the Canadian people have
rejected the proposition, as believe
to the detriment of the best interests
of both countries.

OTTUMWANS REGRET
REJECTION OF PACT
Continued from Page ~


OF the dominion have, as Horace
Greedy once said, "Clasped hands
acrc-s the bloody chasm, with the
progressives and insurgents Of the
United States to oppose and down one
of the best and most benign measures
ever formulated by patriotic and high
minded statesmen. The one to oppose
one of the wisest and most patriotic
presidents the country ever had, and
the other to oppose Canada's greatest
and most patriotic premier and min
lister, Sir Wilfrid Laurier. There are
two views to take of the probable
political effect of the rejection of the
measure upon the political situation In
this country as it relates to the COM
ing presidential nomination and cam
paign, on the republican side. 1t will
probably increase the zeal of the regu-
lar republicans in favor Of President
Taft's denomination, since there was
more or less luke-warmness towards
the reciprocity measure among quite
number of that class, and had 1t
finally succeeded, they might have
been to some extent disaffected AS to
the so-called progressive and insurgent
faction, the president had little to
hope for from them In support Of his
denomination, and the group of insur-
gent senators will have good time
in explaining to the country the in
consistent attitude they occupy on the
question Of tariff reform In opposing
the reciprocity measure, and how it is
that they as progressives, are cheek
by jowl with the reactionaries of Can
ada, as against the true and genuine
progressiveness of the dominion.
F. w. SIMMONS:-It demonstrates
to me the wisdom of Mr. Taft when
he said, Let us at least try this pact
I recommend 1t because believe in
its ultimate great benefit to our
people" Now we have put it up to
Canada and they have said in effect.
1--WE are afraid of you yankees and
propose to keep our advantages and
you may keep yours A profound
study Is now on for all classes of
American statesmen. and the question
will again be asked. rs the tariff a
local issue?" Uncle Sam will continue
to whittle away at the tariff and be-
lieve this action of Canada Will be a
welding stroke toward unifying the
views Of good and honest democrats
and good and honest republicans in
this country and the demagogues in
both parties will finally take back
seat, at least on the tariff question
JOSEPH DAIN:-The defeat of the
reciprocity treaty in Canada yesterday
is due, believe, to the misleading
statements made in this country with
particular reference to annexation fol-
lowing the treaty. This fact, coupled
with the danger that annexation might
eventually result, has quickened the
patriotism of the Canadians and their
loyalty to their mother country was
shown unanimously in the rejection OF
the pact. This talk of annexation
has been thoroughly repeated over
Canada and the fruits Of the campaign
waged was defeat for the measure.
