'ONE MORE DAY IS LEFT.
About 500 Voters Must be Regist-
cred in City Next Saturday.

Two thousand and seventy-three
voters had registered in 0skaloosa at
the close of the boards Saturday even
ing after three days of work. This is
almost two hundred more than regis
tered in the corresponding days in
1908 and is only 263 votes short of
the total registration Of the previous
presidential year. Persons who have
watched the registration estimate
that there are yet unregistered fully
500 Oskaloosa voters to be brought in
next Saturday, the last day possible
for registration unless the voter has
been out of the city upan all previous
days of the session of the registrars.
Saturdays record, compared with
that of the two previous presidential
years shows as follows:

1912 FARM PRODUCTS
Larger Yields Have Done Much to
Help Values.

Secretary Wilson's estimate of the
wealth produced on farms during the
current season is something greater
than s9,OO0,OO000O. For the proceed
ing three years the official estimate
ranged at am average of something
more than $500, 100000. The esti-
mate of 1903, the first year in the de-
cade considered below, was little less
than sS,000,o00.000; the growth in
value of farm products has therefore
Increased by SO per cent.
Prices at the farm indicate that in
the FIVE years ending with 1912, pro-
ducts have been on a considerably
higher level than in the preceding
five years. The figures follow:

JUDGE AND JURY
FEAR FOR LIVES
Chief Figures in Becker Case
Face Death Daily.
GUARD GoFF AND WHITMAN
Witnesses In Case Receive Threats
While Behind Prison Walls, Sup
posedIy From Friends Of
Accused Gunner.

New York, Oct 2S.-An extraordin
airy situation in a civilized community
has developed since Lieut.. Charles
Becker was found guilty of murder
in the first degree. The men who did
their duty--the Judge of the court, the
lawyers for both sides. the Jurors,
and the witnesses-carnot walk the
streets with the same feeling Of safe
ty they had before the trial.
Justice John w. Goa was threat
ened by letter and over his private
telephone before the jury returned the
verdict. When he leaves his residence
in West One Hundred and Fourth
street his assistant secretary, Thomas
Kearney, or an armed guard accom-
panies him. E..
District Attorney Charles S. Whit
man is compelled by the insistence of
his star to permit Detective Albert
Thomas to keep near him when he is
not In his private Office or in his home
at 81 Madison avenue. He has re-
ceived threats that he will not live to
prosecute another case.
Mcintyre Fears for His Life.
John +. Mcintyre, chief counsel for
Becker, makes no secret of his belief
that his life Is in danger. Toward the
close Of the trial and while he was
standing just outside of the courtroom
gangman muttered In his ear that
his comments about Jack Roses wife
would cost him his life. Mr. McIn'
tyre carries a revolver and is ready
to use it at any moment.
Rose, Weber, WALTON and Schepps,
the informers, have received mes
sages in the West side court prison
that if they have any property to dis
pose OF they might as well make their
Wills. These threats are supposed to
emanate from the friends Of the gun
men, "Gyp the Blood" Lefty Louie
"Dago Frank" and Whitley" Lewis
Shapiro, the chauffeur, who turned
against the gunner and who an
nounced that he Is ready to identify
them as the murderers of Rosenthal
has told his lawyer, Aaron J. Levy
that he fears he will be shot oil
stabbed as soon as he is let out Of
prison. Shapiro has been threatened
with death as "sQuealer.' - at.s-.r
Lawyer Levy thinks that he is nc
! longer safe because he permitted hi
client, Shapiro, to take the witnes:
stand against Becker and because he
had advised Shapiro to testify against
the gunner when they come to trial
Mr.. Levy has received venomous
threats daily. $50. ,....:.

Justice Golf, the district attorney
Mr.. Mcintyre, and others, who dislike
sensationalism, have sought to mini

who hire out for assassination and as

Wheat, corn and cotton have done
most to maintain farm values. This
season December prices Of wheat are
Istill among the highest. Beginning
with 1907, wheat h never sold for
less than S7.4 cents bushel. In only
one year since 1906 has December
corn been under so cents bushel.
Cotton comes nearer being on par
,ity during the last five years with
the earlier five years, but has still
good margin above. Large yields,
rather than better prices, have helped
values. ..

day by the score of 10 to 6. At no
time during the game was Oskaloosa
in any serious danger, except at the
close of the third quarter, when two
penalties, one for half the distance to
the goal and the other for fifteen
yards, gave Knoxville the ball on the
! fifteen-yard line. BY series Of
plunges this was put over for their
only touchdown. Taken all the way
through the Knoxville team outweigh
ed the home team by several pounds,
but they did not show the requisite
speed and have not had the coaching
that the local team has. Coach Wat

team out a great deal in the last cou-
lpue of weeks.
Everyone on the Oskaloosa team

Denial by the Church
Of Land Holding

The head of the Mormon Church
in Utah declares that the church is
not interested in the buying and set
tlement of Nevada lands, as reported
i'll the press during the past few
mopthJ Bishop Nihley declares
that the acreage bought by Utah
people is simply an investment
proposition and that their private
money is going into the Nevada sec
tions. He quotes a number of sales
of large tracts OF land and in each
instance shows where it is private
enterprise and not church affairs
that are in the booming game.
The people OF Nevada don't care
who is back of the big projects. 1t
means new settlements and prosper
ity and that Is what the State OF Ne
vada needs. The Mormons make as
good residents as anyone on cart,

Good Product

Henry Luhrs, the brick and tile
manufacturing man, like others, is
waiting for winter to pass. The eN-
periments carried on last fall in tile
making showed that his machinery,
which was installed, will do the
work and that tile making will b."
the main effort as soon "a weather
permits. Drying sheds are to be
added to the plant and when the
machinery starts this coming spring
some big business will follow.
\ couple of hundred tiles were
burned in the last brick kiln. While
they We're experimental in nature,
yet they showed that it was possible
to manufacture a product that will
be appreciated by the modern farm
er. The demand for this class OF
goods for irrigation is growing III
every irrigated section OF the state.
In Carson and the nearby valleys the
inquiries for the product have been
coming in, thus assuring a ready
market as soon as the goods can be
delivered in the spring
