erody's spuds Sell In Esbon At 75c
Per BusheI.
Here is one man who found a little
local market for his potatoes in the
east. He is H. w. Brody, who came
year ago. He refused to take thelo-
cal market price for his spuds, and
shipped the car to his old home in
Kansas. He knew that his old town
had never seen such quality spuds as
we have in spuds about Cooling
Here is what the Esbon Times says Of
the result:
H. w. Brody arrived Friday morn
ing from Idaho with his car of pota-
toes. He was on the road Just nine
days, had a hard trip but brought the
spuds through in good shape He sold
them to C. A. CARRIER who sold most
of them from the car at 75c a bushel.
They were about the finest we ever
saw, wholly unlike the Colorado irri-
gated potatoes both in appearance
and cooking notwithstanding Lead.

Nolan Plan Discussed.

Directors Of the association met
with the city commissioners at the
city offices last night and discussed
the Nolen city plan for the industrial
and residential development OF Keo-
kuk. Those who attended were en-
thusiastic in their endorsement of the
plan as outlined by Mr.. Nolen In his
blue prints submitted to the Industrial
Association, and there does not seem
to be any doubt but that 1t will be ac-
cepted, with a few notifications to
meet peculiar local conditions. Mr..
Nolen expects to co2e to Keokuk be-
fore the first of the year. at which
time he will explain In detail the
propositions involved. 1t is probable
that public meeting will be called
for that purpose.

OF the state service in disgrace Hoef-
er asked II his resignation could not

called me up and informed me that
Hoefer wanted until the following
Monday at least to determine whether
he would resign. Hoefer said he
wanted to consult somebody else.

sey to ask the name Of the man and
Hennessey responded that Hoeffer
wanted an opportunity to see Chas. F.
Murphy and explain certain things.
Senator Wagner, Senator Frawley

tive chamber and informed me that
Murphy was insistent that nothing
should be done in the case OF Hoefer
during that week and it was subject
that would have to be discussed by
the organization. ! told Hennessey to
find Hoefer forthwith and to have him
bring his resignation with him.

Hoefer who found him in Senator Wag-
ner's room with John H. Delaney and
Senator Frawley. They were again in
communication with Murphy. Hoefer
came down with Delaney and again
asked that his resignation be deferred.
Delaney said that Murphy wanted that
action taken and advised me that the
removal Of Hoefer would be resented. !

CHICAGO. Oct. 21.-Tho Buenos
Ayres crop induced covering at Liver

sponded with Is advance at the start.
Some apprehension for the crop in In
dia was another bull factor and fu-
lures maintained their early advance
throughout the forenoon.
Lower temperatures over the corn
belt were regarded probably as interfer-
ing with marketing. Strength in wheat
helped the bulls too and after the open
ing trifle higher corn futures gained
u in the forenoon. An advance of 70

firmness of wheat and corn. In the

ernor Sulzer had prepared a state
ment OF this. reciting all incidents
Just as he would have told them upon
the witness stand. It reads as fol-
lows: After took Office In January.
learned that the state architect had
expended more than s4,1O0,00o in the
previous year; that this was done
practically upon the certificate of the
state architect and that there had
been no proper audit.
II learned also that appropriation
for the capitol for 1912 had been ex-
ceeded by nearly half a million dol
lars and that there was no proper
supervision. asked committee rep
resenting the American Institute of
Architects to make general investi-
cation and asked John A. Hennessey
to dig into some accounts which had
been presented for payment.
HE reported the state architect and
deputy were not by training, sxper-
fence or ability competent to fulfill
their duties.
Mr.. Hennessey had found several
questionable contracts and suggested
that the state architect be asked for
his resignation.
at was shown by Mr. Hennessey's
report that only one-half the quantity
of glass had been put In certain rooms
of the capitol: that glass Is OF an inch
thick had been substituted for glass
that should have been V Of an inch
thick; that glass * of an inch thick
had been substituted for glass which
the contract required should be one
inch thick.
"Carrara glass, used IN the wains-
coating Of certain room which
should have been q OF an inch thick
was only q OF an inch thick and I'm
ferior wood had been used for certain
doors. Mr.. Hennessey found that pay
rolls on electrical contracts had been
padded
"Hennessey asked the state archi-
tect for his resignation at my request.
Before Hennessey had reported to
me, Senator Frawley came downstairs
and made protest to me against
interfering with the work on the state
capitol or other state buildings and
said he believed there was material
truth In the charges against the state
architect
II sent for Eennessey who IN my
presence related to Senator Frawley
the main facts in the case, but Fraw
ley still persisted that nothing should
be done with the state architects of
fee, at least until there had beer
further consideration of the case
told Hennessey to return to the archi
tect and insist upon his resignation
What further happened can tell only
from Hennessey's recital to me. He
told me that he was not free agent
that he had no control over deputies
no control over the secretary, nor dit
he have any control over the mer
who checked up the work He sal;
they were all appointed through

Then Hoefer made the peculia
plea to Hennessey that his grandfath
er had been German revolutionist a

thicker than water and that Sulzer, a
a German, should not send Hoefer on
