THE MANNER OF MAN liz IS

After the Southern manner, Mr.. IN
derwood is unaHectedly. democratic. He
meets men as one who, respecting him
self, also respects them. He does not
wear the manner of one who expects to
find his inferior. Still less would ne
remind you of one who fears he may
meet his superior. Never does he pose,
nor seek to transact his dignity at the
humbling expense of another.-AIfred

York, January, 1912.

ESTIMATE OF OPPONENTS

Men like Payne and Mann declare
him to be the most resourceful an
tagonist they have found on the Demo
cratic side. A skillful parliamentarian,
a good speaker, holding himself always
in perfect control, he is a model leader,
and his following is daily increasing

A PRACTICAL DEMOCRAT

St Louis honors Oscar w. Under
wood for his character, for his achieve
ments and for his Democracy.
The Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee is a practical Democrat, His
leadership in the House of Representa-
tives shows that. He possesses the
ability to enlist men of varying ideas,
plans and moods in support of desirable
and feasible objects. Men who agree
on basic principles may be involved in
bitter hostility by antagonisms which IN
their essence amount to little.
- >
Mr.. Underwood's example as leader
of Democrats in Congress is worthy of
emulation elsewhere. It makes for toll
erance. Tolerance makes for unity.
Unity makes for progress. There is no
other way to render Democracy eff
fective.
The young Democrats of St Louis
who persuaded Mr. Underwood to be-
come their guest will find in his policy
as we'll as his principles the best hope
of party achievement and party life

As the reader knows, Mr.. Underwood
is the Chairman of the Ways and Means
Committee of the House of Representa-
tives at Washington. But for the fact
that he is native and a, lifelong resi-
dent of the South he would stand fine

oompels the statement that he is as well
qualified for the performance of the du-

that connection, and it is not doubted
that if elected he would make a safe

CRAzED NEGRO
PUTS UP FIGHT
LOUISVILLE POLICE HAVE TOUGH
BATTLE WITH BLACK WHO
ESCAPED JAIL.

Louisville, KY, Sept. 2S.-After be-
ing held at bay all night by a drug
'craEed negro. Louisville police early
today rushed the blacks barricade and
captured him before he could make
further resistance.
The prisoner, Ed Jackson, was ar
rested last night on a trivial charge.
He escaped, took refuge in a house
in the negro quarter and began firing
on pedestrians and street cars. One
of the policemen sent to arrest him
vas dangerously wounded. The riot
call was sounded, but when police and
citizens reached Jackson's retreat he
had barricaded himself so securely
and directed such an effective rifle
fire at his pursuers that they were
obliged to fight at long range.
For two hours they exchanged shots
with the black. Then firing ceased,
and the police awaited the coming of
daylight. The rush on his barricade
took Jackson by surprise and he sur.
rendered, although we'll supplied with
ammunition.
When the police gained entrance to
the house they found two other
negroes with Jackson. One of them
who attempted to rush the police was
shot down. He was badly wounded.
1t is believed the two men were In
the house when Jackson took refuge
there and that he compelled them to
help him in his fight.

PREPARATIONS
BEING HURRIED
MECHANICS AND DECORATORS
BUSY GETTING ARMoRY READY
FOR PURE FOOD SHOW.

The unceasing sound of the ham.
mers and saws have attracted cOnsid'
cradle attention about the armOry
where a large corps Of mechanics and
decorators are at 1t with a will to
complete the numerous booths that
exhibitors are installing in the build
ing for the pure food show. The work
Of getting the display spaces in readi-
ness started Wednesday and already
some Of the firms that will exhibit
their wares have made much progress.
A noticeable feature about the booths
and display spaces Is the beauty in
design that many Of the exhibitors are
giving the booths that will be used
for their varied food products. The
interior Of the armory will present a
very pretty picture when the spaces
have all been prepared by the firms
who have arranged to have displays
and demonstrations Of their wares. A
wealth of porch columns are Uttered
about the large hall in waiting for the
carpenters to place them. and Secre-
tary r. J. Shanahan of the Retail Mer-
chants association Is on the job almost
continually alloting the spaces to the
exhibitors and looking after the de-
tails of the arrangement for the big
pure food show. The plan Of remod-
cling the armory since the %postoflce
abandoned the building, has been one
of attractiveness. A huge balcony
completely surrounds the upper floor
and will afford a nice promenade for
the visitors to the food show where
they can view the booths and displays
OF the various exhibitors if they do
not wish to get in the crush that will
fill the avenues through the small city
of booths when the show opens Mon
day. The whole week will be devoted
to the show which begins Sept. 30
and ends October s.. The lower floor
of the armory is to be used as we'll
the upper or main floor. In the
the shredded wheat biscuit firm
will conduct a motion picture show
illustrating the manufacture Of their
product and following the story from
the grain in the field to the finished
product in the stores. The domestic
science lecture will be given in the
hall also. This section Of the
building will be devoted to the lee
lures, baby show, etc.

THE PAST WEEK HAS BEEN A
RECORD BREAKER; THE RUSH
COMMENCED SATURDAY
SHOPPING CENTER
otturnwa, by Her Excellent merohan'

Reputation Of Being Leading

Every retail merchant in the city o
Ottumwa has enjoyed the largest bust
ness this week and last Saturday tina
they have since the holidays. The bill
Increase IN business has not been con
tined to any one line of goods, but tt
all. from the grocery and dry goods
stores to the meat markets.
Heaviest for Months.
Last Saturday was easily the big
gest Saturday for some time. h da,
was anything but an ideal business
day. raining from early In the morn
ing until late at night, but in spite o.
this great handicap the farmers ant
citizens thronged the many stores
hunting for bargains. which are al
ways found in Ottumwa's retail
houses. The manager Of one OF the
leading grocery firms in the city. when
interviewed concerning the rush las
Saturday stated that his firm en-
owed the biggest business last Satur
day that it has had for sixty days. 1t
seems rather strange that a grocery
store would have such an increase in
business rs that. but it is the plain
facts, and this manager had the fig.
ures to back up what he said. Several
leading merchants. when they were
approached on the subject had the
same thing to say and that was, 1T
was the biggest day we have had for
some time 1t is quite natural for mer
chants to tell of their business IN
this way, but whey they are willing
and ready to show you the figures OF
lie DAYS business as proof for the as
certions, you are compelled to belleve
it is not mere boast.
All admitted that the business last
Saturday surprised them. and when 1t
continued all through this week the
it has it is no wonder that they
are possessing that broad smile. The
weather this week up until Friday a
favorable and the farmers have
taken advantage of 1t. Many are lay
ing in their supplies for the winter.
Railway Fares.
There is not a doubt but that OF
tumwa is fast proving UP on her repn.
tation as one Of the leading retail
cities in the state. 1t is not only the
local residents and farmers who re
alize the excellent values and quality
that the Ottumwa retail houses offer.
hut residents Of other Iowa cities are
also realizing it. One merchant said
that he paid a shoppers railway fare
from Fort Madison. which clearly
the above assertion. 1t has been
1 usual think for the local merchants
10 pay railway fares to Washington,
and other places in this
section, but just recently the shoppers
are coming from a great distance. 9
The rushing business that has been
enjoyed since last Saturday was evi-
dent again today and it is predicted
by many of the merchants that 1t will
equal last Saturdays record.
