False and Preposterous.

day to the oil committee was branded
as false and preposterous," In a
statement by Leighton c: Taylor, for

Penrose of Pennsylvania.
Declaring he had been in constant
attendance upon the senator, who was
in Philadelphia before and during
the Chicago convention, Taylor said
Hamon had never seen or communi-
Gated with Penrose, nor had the lat
ter ever mentioned Hamon'S name 10

i haven't the slightest recollection
of ever having seen or met Jake
Hamon myself any time during the
month preceding the Chicago conven-

was to Senator PenroSe during those
months, l don't see how Hamon could
have seen him without my knowing

1T will be recalled that Senator
Penrose was d very sick man both
before and during the convention, and
very few persons were able TO SEQ

where he was lying i'll, and then only

SOME BISCUIT MATERIAL

There were 30 ear loads Of wheat
shipped from wray last week. The car
averaged 1900 bushels per car max
Ing total Of 50 500 bushels Of grain.
The combine wheat is about finish
ed but the estimate IS that there IS
a much larger per cent OF the crop yet
yet in the shock and stack than has
yet been harvested.
The fine harvest weather has made
Il possible for The farmers to save
their crops and before the season
closes we predict that the largest
number ot bushels Of wheat viii be
sent from this country than has ever
been shipped before.
The corn crop is in fine shape and
the prospects for a good corn crop are
very good. The grain and hog marko,

Last Saturday little after noon as

ross the Burlington railroad track at
the Central Avenue crossing his car
was struck by freight train, and the
front of the car demolished, the car
being dragged about seventy-five feet
Mr.. Edwards escaped without injury
owing to the fact that the train was
moving very slowly.
Both front wheels of the car were
wrecked, and the side of the body
was badly smashed. the door
near where Mr.. Edwards sat being
bent considerable.
The accident does not seem to be
due to carelessness on the part Of Mr..
Edwards nor the railroad company,
unless the absence OF flagman could
be called carelessness. 1t was just
one of those things which happen in
spite of caution. Mr.. Edwards was
driving very slowly, which is doubt

serious result on account OF the col
