The MARKETS
The Grain Market.

[Gate City Leased Wire Service.l
CHICAGO, Aug 19.-At the close of
the market today wheat was from
one-half to f1ve-eighths higher. Corn
closed one-fourth cent lower for
September and one-eighth cent higher
for December. Oats rested with
gains from one-fourth to one-half cent.
The wheat market showed easiness
at start, but rallied Immediately, Of
ferings being light and demand good.
Cables were of bearish complexion.
Liverpool was affected by the strike
in the first place and by heaviness of
the weeks shipments of wheat and
flour from this side. India reported
good rains. News from northwest be-
| fore the session opened was of the
same general character as regards
the miserable results of the thresh-
ings that were received the day be.
| fore.
Trade in corn was not heavy, but
with little for sale at the start the
| first prices were shade over the
closing prices of Friday. Weather
in the corn belt generally was dry
with temperatures moderate, except
in the southwest, where they con
tinued excessively hot.
! The start in the oats market was
at practically the price prevailing al
the end of yesterdays session. Buy
ers readily absorbed all offerings The
firmness with which the trading com
menced held to the end, when prices
; were close to the best of the day ant

PARKER CARNIVAL
COMPANY COMING
If the owls Can Make Satisfactory
Arrangements and the Citizens
Manifest Interest In
Amusement.
AGENT HERE SATURDAY
Parker Company Carries Twenty-EIaht
Cars and Gives Employment to
$50 People--Been In
keokuk Before.

E. G. Talbot, representing the
Parker Carnival Company, was in
Keokuk Saturday and opened ne
gotiations with the Independent Or
der of Owls to show in this city the
first week in October. If the city
co-operates with the Owls the amuse-
ment company will be secured for
probably the only fall entertainment
that Keokuk will have. Mr. Talbot
and officers of the Owls were ne
gotiating and the local order will
Immediately communicate with the
city officials and the citizens and
find out the sentiment and If proper
encouragement is offered the ex-
hibition will be given on the date
mentioned above. The Owls is a
new order, incorporated under the
laws of the state of Iowa, and the
Keokuk lodge is the initial number.
They hope to make the order one of
the strongest in the state. The Of
flcials have correspondent with a
number of amusement companies but
decided If they took any to take only
the best and the Parker Company
will in all probability be contracted
with.
Only Two Parker Shows.
The impression is prevalent that
the Parker Company has large
number of amusement companies on
the road. Mr.. Talbot says this re-
port Is incorrect; that there are only
two Parker companies and both are
high class with practically no differ
ence In their merits. The show that
the Owls propose to bring to Keokuk
for a weeks stay Is twenty-eight
car company, carrying $50 people and
has fifteen paid attractions. They
carry their own concert band of thirty
FIVE pieces, have their own electric
light plant, and the equipment is new
and up-to-date and the attractions the
best. The company plays the Indiana
state fair and was here two years
lago.

HOW CAMPH0R IS PREPARED
Steam Passing Through Cylinder
Filled With Chips Extracts Oil and
Deposits Il In Jar.

Wherever camphor trees grow YOU
will find camphor distilleries. They
are low buildings Of mud brick, and
their odor is so aromatic that it can
be detected two miles off. In each
building there are a dozen fires. On
each fire is a kettle Of boiling water,
with a perforated lid. Fitted to the
top OF this kettle is an iron cylinder,
filed with camphor wood chips Of
the size Of your little finger. Fitted
10 the top Of the cylinder is an empty
inverted jar. The steam Of the boil-
ing water passing up through the
cylinder extracts from the camphor
wood its oil. The oil, mounting still
upward, with the steam, settles like
brine on the sides Of the inverted jar
at the top. And this brine when the
llrc goes out, dries into n substance
like frost or snow. White and aro-
matte, the frost-like substance is the
crude comphor. 1t is scrapcd of the
sides Of the jar, and refined and
pressed into attractive shapes.

But he could not be seen and in
formed of this action before the
bishops met, and as the threatening
secessionists were afraid, SO they
saw, to call him out of the council,
believing that it could not be con-
struced and used in a way to defeat
their object, he could not be dis
suaded from signing the recon-
mendation offered on the following
day. But they did interview him
in time to defeat the bishops plan
On account of Bishop Holdings de,
fection it so weakened the measure
of the bishops plan that a motion
to lay it on the table prevailed by a
vote of 95 to 81.
Soon after the Finley and Trimble
modified resolution was adopted by
a vote of III to 50, So we now
see that Bishop Andrew was depos-
ed from his Office of the church SO
long as he was connected with slav-
cry without any lawful charges be-
ing brought against him and with
out trial. 1t was admitted that he
had violated no moral or eccleslas-
tical law of the church and the
whole ma.ter was placed on the
ground of expediency. With the
northern conferences it was not a
question of law AMI moral right,
but of expediency. The southern
delegates felt that church member
ship and official relation to the
church was too sacred a right to be
made to depend upon a question of
expediency, What the majority
would regard as expedient at one
time might not be regarded as ex-
pedient at another time, The south
ern delegates protested against the
arbitrary measures adopted by the
General conference, and notice of
their protest was spread upon the
journal,
The protest and reply was refer
red to q committee of ten delegates,
DR.. Bangs explained the compost
ton Of this committee as three from
the south, three from the north and
three from the middle states, which
were three southern men and six
abolitionists DR., Bangs and Rev,
James Porter were members Of the
committee, BY a resolution of the
conference the committee was in
structed that if they could not in
their judgment devise a plan for an
amicablc adjustment Of the difficult
ties now existing on the subject of
slavery to devise If possible con-
stitutional plan for a friendly and
mutual division of the church, At
ter two days Of close labor, after
minute inspection and revision Of
every sentence, the committee pre-
sented their report, showing they

Ii is stated that the Berlin manufac-

The Berlin trade in this article is
estimated by competent judges at

of the sum being the result of home
trade and one-third that of exported
goods. Notwithstanding the duties.
Berlin does a large trade in blOuses

most prominent shades in the fruitar-
ian trimming. and these are employed
in peaches, apples. oranges. plums.

AS berries may come under the
nomenclature of fruit, it may also he
mentioned that some of the most
charming hats show red berries that
may be taken either for strawberries
or cherries. says the Washington Her

vivid cerise or red berries dangle CO.
quettishly over the brim in front or
are laid gracefully in picturesque
wreaths around the crown. giving
vivid glow of color to all white or an

This fruitarian trimming is cope

PHOENIX. ARIZONA. JULY ,, 1911.
An Echo of the War.

A reader of The Republican, Mr.
Joseph Greenough, who is residing al
San Francisco, in a letter to this pa
per encIoses the following clipping
from the San Francisco Examiner:
Phoenix. proud capital of = neigh
boring territory, can now be joyfully
acclaimed as the great oasis in the
Arizona desert, by those whose thirst
can be quenched only by the juices
of grape and grain"
Concerning this Mr.. Greenough
writes:
1T seems to indicate that the fame
of Phoenix has reached even these
distant northern ATTITUDES and has a
reputation along the coast as the
Mecca of booze fighters; the town
without a sewer, and the last strong
hold of provincialism"
What precipitated this outbreak of
the San Francisco Examiner was not
at first clear to us The reputation
Of Phoenix as an orderly town, the
abode of citizens of at least average
culture and of a high average of NOR
atty, We thought was well established.
The saloons are not numerous con-
sidering the population of the city.
There has been no conspicuous drunk
enness and moreover. Phoenix has of
late not been very much in the lime
light
But a second reading of Mr.
Greenough's letter shows that the
clipping was taken from copy of the
Examiner Of April "a of this year. 1t
was now made clear. About that time
other papers of the west and the
southwest were holding up Phoenix
as a horrible municipal example We
Wee then IN the throes of a local
which many hard things were said Ct
FIceniX by its own citizens, so that
our journalistic neighbors had a right
to believe that they We're maligning
this city on good authority.
In times of political stress many
extravagant charges are made against
opposing parties and candidates. In
consequence outsiders pay little at
tention to such accusations, due al
lowance being made for campaign
heat But in this case outsiders could
not conceive that citizens would ma

An Annotated Prophecy.

In the current Munseys Judson c
Welliver, an advocate OF things so.
cialistic and insurgent, prints a story
of a prophecy made some years age
by Senator La Toilette in a moment
of peevishness, because other senators
didn't find his remarks of sufficient
interest to remain in their seats and
listen to them. Mr.. La Toilette is said
to have said that the seats which the
tiresomness of his speech had rem
dered temporarily vacant would be-
come permanently SO. so far as con-
cerned the senators to whom they
then belonged.
Mr.. Welliver's story contains a list
of some thirty-five senators who for
one reason or another have since re
tied to private life and he ascribes
their retirement to the blighting pre-
diction
This is not the first heard OF this
story, but it was not heard of until
very recently. 1t is said on authority
that our usually accurate and COM
prehensive contemporary, the Con-
gressional Record, took no note OF 1t
at the time, though according to Mr..
Welliver it was made on the floor of
the senate in the course or debate.
The newspapers Of Washington neg
lected to chronicle the dramatic cpl
sode
Senators then and now in service
have no recollection of an incident
which must have filled them with
fear and trembling We therefore
fear that the story is a connection or
the prediction, an afterthought.
But we are somewhat interested in
Mr.. Welliver's manner of telling it and
his certainty that the changes which
have taken place in the senate since
then, six years ago, resulted from
the neglect Of Mr.. La Follette's
speech; that these thirty-five lame
ducks" were brought down by Mr..
La Follette's hot shot

Some of the new blouses of alloveI

on the lower part of the bodice with
white chiffon. This showed the yoke
