CADDOCK THROWS ROLLER
IN TWO STRAIGHT FALLS

Earl Caddock, the Iowa wrestler,
found easy pickings Thursday in his
match with Doctor Roller, the Seat
tie contender, at the Haymarkat
theatre in Chicago. Caddock took
the first fall in AT with q scissors
and the second in 10 with a half
nelson.
At no time did he have to extend
himself and the first fall seemed
drawn out to unnecessary length,
apparently that the spectators might
get run for their money. This was
the first appearance of Caddock here
in several months and he was greet
His friends here have had no opport-
unity to see him in action since he
wrestled the championship from Joe
Stecher.
Doctor Roller was expected to put
up a better contest as he had put
himself in fine condition by tour
of the states, meeting all sorts of
grapplers. 1t was hoped he would
force Caddock to display more of his
wares. as he is considerably taller
and heavier than Caddock and is
fast scientific and clever. He was
willing to wager that he would go
for an hour before he was thrown
for the first fall, but found no takers
However, the stocky Iowan went over
him carefully and found no serious
obstacles, so he threw him when he
got ready.

Motion Picture News
This remarkable picture, made
under the auspices of the French
Government written by Jean Richie
pin, member of the French Academy,
with Louis Mercanton as its director
was given its first presentation at the
Rialto Theatre last week. Madame
Bernhard, a powerful story, and an
almost inspired direction and act
ing of their roles by the competent
French artists in the cast compel in
terest from the opening title to the
closing scene.
To the exhibitor the most impor-
tant thing to know about this play
is that it is not a picture of war hor-
rors. not picture solely of bursting
shells and melodramatic thrills, with
flimsy thread to hold it together
as a story, but is first of all a tense
ly dramatic story, using the locale
and harships of the war in not too
oppressive manner to make won
derful atmosphere and create a feel
ing an audience that they have wit
messed more than an ordinary play
Madame Bernhard makes of Jean
Marsay, the mother, a character not
soon to be forgotten. The theme
of the plot is the royalty of France
But the counter theme is love plot,
and in no way is the story in the
slightest degree designed to register
as propaganda. Its patriotic appeals
is as universal as the human pas
sions, fine deeds. and sacrifices upon
which its big heart interest is center

COUNTY PIONEER dies
NEAR KIMBALLTON
Mrs. Ole Olsen Answers Last
Summons. Was One OF County's
Earliest Settlers

Last Thursday. following an ill
ness of long duration, Mrs. Ole Oh
sen died at her home one half mile
south and one mile west of Kimball-

high age of "a years and the past
few years had been somewhat poor

The death of Mrs. Olsen marks
the passing of another of our re-
spected pioneers, the ranks of who
are fast diminishing. She with her
husband Ole Olsen who died in 1909
were probably the earliest Danish
settlers in this community. They
settled on the old homestead in 1878
full year before the earliest Danish
settlers moved into the vicinity
where Elk Horn now lies. She has
all the hardships of the'early pion-
GERS, and has watched this settlement
grow from virgin prairie to its pre-
sent high state of development.
Mrs. Marie Catherin Olsen, nee
Petersen was born in Denmark, June
Is, 1866, she was united in marriage
to Ole Olsen. The same year they
immigrated to America and came to
Rock Island County, ILL.,, where they
lived for years. In 1873 they
came to Iowa and settled on the
place southwest of Kimballton.
which has ever since been the family
homestead. The deceased is surviv-
ed by one daughter, Mrs. Ana Bladt
and one son, Ole Olsen Jr., who lives
on the home place. Two other child
rem Peter and Anne died in infancy
Mrs. Olsen was buried last Sun
day. Funeral services were held in
the Kimballton church. Rev. Kloth

FROM SERIOUS INJURY

Last Saturday evening while driv-
ing with a team and buggy. when
near the Fire Hall, Mrs. Ray Smith
and children, who live in the coun-
try were fortunate in escaping what
might have proved a very bad ac-
cident. When near the hall an auto
driven by c. Diest ran into the buggy
forcing it a number of feet along
the pavement. damaging the buggy
considerably, but doing no injury to
the occupants or the team. Mr..
Diest was going at moderate rate
of speed or otherwise the probability
is. that the services of an undertaken
would have been needed. We are
informed by persons who saw the
accident that it was unavoidable,
neither party being to blame.

FINANCES AND MARKETs

NEW YORK, Nov An extraor- dinary condition came over the stock market today in consequence of strin- gent measures adopted by authorities of that institution to restrict specu- ,atiye operations. Prices opened at gains of to points among leaders. Gains were reduced subsequently, in the final hour on the weakness of coppers and some of the inactive rails, but for the most part net advances prevailed.
 Rails displayed less strength than the seasoned industrials. their recovery being retarded by the publication of additional September statements of earnings.

COMMERCIAL REVIEW

NEW YORK. Nov. 2.-Dun's tomor- row will say:
 With the closing Of the second war loan there has been less interruption to business, and it's development has become more clearly defined with ac- tivities centering in regular channels. Lower temperatures are reported to have influenced some late crops ad- versely, but the effect elsewhere has been stimulating and current commer- cial transactions testify to a remarka- oiv well sustained buying power con- sldering the extreme prices. The move ment toward higher costs has not per ceptibly slackened in certain leading commodities in which the trend was re- gently downward. and recognition that some supplies are growing limited has lmpelled efforts to provide against pos slble scarcity of needed materials and merchandise. Where shortages actually exist and there is difficulty in aug menting production, or even maintain ing 1t, the markets have tended more strongly in sellers favor and further advances are foreshadowed.

GRAIN

CHICAGO, Nov. 2.-Corn prices un- derWent a decided setback today, in- fluenced to a large extent by the gen. erally- unsettled trade situation and by augmented receipts of new grain. The market cloSed heavy, 17s to 35s cents lower with December S115H to $1.15% and May s1101s. Oats fell F M% to :: q B. The outcome in provisions was unchanged % 22 down.
 Temporary shutting down of some wfat conspicuous industrial plant here made holders of corn uneasy. Weather likely to facilitate crop movement tend ed further to spread bearishy senti- ment and so did advices later showing a gradual increase of arrivals from first hands; especially in the south west The market in the las thour was placed under still greater handicap by misleading versions of an address to Illinois grain dealers by a spokes- man of the food administration.
 Oats reflected the weakness of corn.
 Reduction in warehouse stocks here and throughout the west had only a transient bullish effect on provisions Profit taking sales led to a sharp down. turn.
