DEFENDANTS

Two damage suits, a divorce petit
tion and quiet title action are among
the cases filed today with the clerk of
the district court for hearing in the
January term. Mae G.. Hickman seeks
to recover $500 from the Ottumwa
Railway & Light Co., and James
Suits asks $500 as damages from
Bartlett & King, contractors Of the
new postoffice because of the accident
in the we'll on the postoffice grounds
last August. The action taken by Mrs.
Hickman alleges that through the
neglect of an employe on the Court
hill car last summer, she sustained a
dislocation of the left ankle and other
injuries in getting off the car at Wash
ington and Court streets. Her claim
is entered for $500. She is resi-
dent of Charlton. James Suits attri-
butes carelessness to Bartlett &
King for the caving in of the well
upon him August "a, 1911, when for a
few hours he was buried several feet
beneath the surface. A number of in
juries are cited and claim for $500
made. l.. A. Meeker claims cruelty as
grounds for a divorce from E. ].

PROMINENT man
Goes TO REWARD
JOHN c. CLARK RETIRED BUsl
NESS MAN OF kEoTA DIED
HERE LAST NIGHT.

Hon. John G. Clark, mayor Of Keota
for four years and representative to
the state legislature from Iowa for
two terms, died last night at $40
o'clock at the home of his son, J. F.
Clark, three miles north of the city. A
complication of troubles with the
feebleness of advanced age removed
this prominent citizen of Keota from
this earth after eighty years Of most
useful life.. Mr.. Clark had been an
invalid for the past year. although he
rallied somewhat during the summer.
He had lived with his son for the past
fifteen months, coming here to- spend
his last days from the home of rela.
tives in Burlington. Mr.. Clark was
mayor Of Keota from 1906 to 1910 and
was one of the towns most progress.
sive business men, until his retire.
ment from active business about five
years ago. &.
The deceased was born in the state
of Vermont, July %, 1881. When he
reached his maturity and married, he
went to Wisconsin, resided there but
a short time and then went to Peoria
Ill. He was principal of the Peoria
high school for several years, until his
health compelled him to resign and
seek recuperation In the open air
Consequently he became farmer
moving to Iowa county in 1856. For
nineteen years he remained on the
farm, moving to Keota in 1875. Twice
he was the selection of the voters OF
Iowa county as their representative in
the state legislature. from 1S70-1S74
With his son, ]. F. Clark, he engaged
in the implement business at Keota
conducting this business until his re-
tirement. In 1906 he was elected
mayor of Keota and was reelected in
1908. His election was against his
wish but his efficiency was responsible
for the voters refusing to recognize his
opposition. When he attempted to
resign in the spring of 1909 because OF
his advancing years, to go to his rela
|tives in Burlington, his resignation was
refused. He was told to go to, Bur
lington and if he was urgently needed
he would be sent for.
Mr.. Clark has been member of the
Masonic order for about fifty years
belonging to the lodge at Keota at the
time of his death. The Masons will
have charge Of his funeral. ..f
The remains will be taken Saturday
morning at 11:55 o'clock to Keota
where funeral services will be held
Sunday afternoon. No other arrange.
ments have been made. His remains
will be inferred in the Keota cemetery

MERGED ROADS
SWAPPING STOCK
IOWA CENTRAL AND NJ. e. ST. l.
TRADE COMMON AND PREFER
49,. RED-MAY SELL OUT. ~

1t is pointed out by THE Financial
World,'' Of New York and Chicago
that the merging of the Iowa Central
and Minneapolis 4 Louis roads
leads to the sale of the combined roads
to a Canadian large line, presumably
the Canadian Pacific which will want
the new route as an outlet to the Gulf
Of Mexico via st. Louis. The swapping
Of stock between the Iowa Central and
the M. & ST. l.. Is also go into by 1.-THE
Financial World as follows:
The shares of the Iowa Central,
which on account Of it's deficits of the
last three years, has been in bad way,
will soon cease to exist. Under the plan
to merge the road with the Minneapolis
& St. Louis, one preferred and nine
common shares Of the Minneapolis
road will be issued for ten preferred
shares Of the Iowa Central. The present
market price Of ten preferred Iowa
Central shares is $50, for which the
holders will receive on share Minneap-
about So, and nine shares Minneapolis
common Of market price of about
318. This Is an attractive exchange. For
that reason probably the Minneapolis
share s have been marked up. The COM
mon stock Of the Iowa Central will be
exchanged at the ratio Of two to one,
that Is, holders of two shares Of Iowa
is about 16H a share, will receive one
common share Of the Minneapolis & ST.
Louis, Of market price Of 34k. Under
this plan the Iowa Central stock will
disappear. ,E .ta...e.
THE shareholders cannot fare worse
under this arrangement, but rather
profit from it, for the Minneapolis &
st. Louis is more promising property,
but in good times has been able to pay
dividends on it's preferred stock. BY
taking over the Iowa Central, the Min
neapoIis will also have to take care Of
the 4 per cent refunding bonds Of the
Iowa Central, on which the fixed
charges have not been earned for
three years. With this merger another
danger in the western railroad situa-
ton will disappear. The M. & ST. L.
will be extended south to st. Louis and
in the north to the Canadian border,
which will enable Newman Erb, who
has taken hold of the two properties to
sell it to a strong Canadian railroad
maybe to the Canadian Pacific, to
whose interest it will be to secure an
outlet to the Gulf Of Mexico, by way Of
st. Louis Mr.. Erb succeeded in selling
the Wisconsin Central to the Canadian
Pacific interests by which the latter
secured an entrance into Chicago. An
outlet to the Geulf is just as important
for the Canadian Pacific as one to the
Great Lakes"

THE SENSATIONAL
RISE IN RUBBER

Bradstreet's: More or less attention
has been paid, both here and abroad,
to rather sensational recovery which
has occurred in the prices for crude
rubber During last year, when the
so-called rubber boom was at its
height, high quality Para rubber
reached its maximum quotation Of
81 95 per pound in the New York mar
ket, from which there was a steady
decline, until last month witnessed an
extreme low quotation of $l.13 per
pound A gradual recovery, which was
normal under the circumstances, set
in, but within the last fortnight more
or less excitement attended the deal
ings, accompanied as they were by a
decided rise to $1.71 per pound At
the same time it is noted that there
has been a considerable falling off in
the United States and Europe; and
there is not a little discussion as to
whether the relative absence of sur
