the company under the franchise is to put in a
system that will give a joint service to the two
towns with local service within them.
AND BUSINESS
New York. Jan. 6.Bradstreefs today says:
While unseasonable weather adversely affects
retail trade and reorders from wholesalers, it
at the same time highly favors tbe leading in
dustries and outdoor activities and facilitates
railway transportation. Spring trade really
shows rather more than usual life, requests for
prompt shipments being in evidence earlier
than usual. Clearance sales are a feature of
retail lines, and the season as a whole in heavy
wearing apparel has been so far disappointing.
Collections north and west feel this influence
likewise. Bank clearings break all records for
a holiday period, reflecting heavy end of the year
jdisbursements and stock speculation
December was perhaps the best month of 1905
|for the railways, with an indicated gain of 12
per cent over December, 1904. Cars are In bet
ter supply on open weather and the passing of
the holiday rush, but six months of large busi
ness Is stlU in sight for the railways. Build
ing at New York and a few other large cities
is affected by the housesmiths' strike. So far
the printers' strike has had rather less than
the expected effect. There seems to be a gen
eral consensus of opinion that 1906 promises
exceedingly well in all lines of trade and in
dustry.
Snowfalls and sllghtlv colder weather in the
rorthwest are welcomed for their, present and
future effect on trade. Southern trade reports
ore relatively the best of all, reflecting, as
they do, good cotton prices and an advance of
tooney among the farmers.
Spring trade at the east shows more life in
*eotton goods and in shoe buying from manufac
turers who are being pressed for deliveries. The
jworsted mills have had an extraordinary season.
jTbe canned goods trade leports interesting con
ditions. In California the want of rain Is be
ginning to be a cause of uneasiness.

HIDES, PELTS, TALLOW,WOOL
REVIEW OF THE MARKET BY THE NORTH
WESTERN HIDE AND FUR COMPANY.
The market is decidedly dull on hides. Buff
hides are selling in Chicago at %c lower than
the high point of a month ago. The Chicago
Hide and Tallow Bulletin of yesterday says:
"The market is exceedingly quiet. The large
corporations say they have- purchased hides at
country points, delivered at their tanneries at
12%c for No. 1 stock." That would be
lower than a month ago. So far there has
been to i^c reduction here. The tanners
are making no offers at all, at present, for
future delivery.
The fur market is decidedly quiet, and even
at the reduced prices dealers here realize little
or no profit when they come to sell. Owing
to the extreme mild weather prior to Christmas
the retail furriers of this country had a very
poor trade. They are now reducing their prices,
to unload, by 25 to 50 per cent. This, with
tbe bad conditions in Russia, is tbe cause of
the decline. Considering that furs are very
high, especially mink and skunk, it is sur
prising that they have not declined more, and
many think they will decline further and are
making^ no bids at all.

the ice formed, all egless was destroyed, thus
making the spearing easy work for the poach
ers. Game wardens are after tbe offenders.

Administration Leader's Effort to
Thwart Threatened Blockades to
Proposed Legislation Causes an Ante
assembly StirDashiell Calls Foot
ball a Crime and Will Father Bill to
Prohibit Game.
SPEAKER GEORGE W. CLARKE,
Of Iowa Assembly, Who Proposes Chan
ging Chairmen of Committees,
to
Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Jan. 6.Speaker G. W. Clarke of
the lower house of tbe thirtieth assembly, Is
on the ground proposing a complete organization
of the house committees of the legislature to
the end that an entire administration lineup may
be established. Iu the senate the Cummins ad
ministration Is satisfied with the committees and
the chairmen, and there is no prospect of a
change.
At first It seemed tacitly agreed that Speaker
G. W. Clarke, who is the governor's right-hand
power in the legislature, would submit to tho
same arrangement, but it is now learned there
are men who would block the administration's
plans and thwart proposed legislation. These
men Mr. Clarke seems very willing to get out
of the way, and his presence and determination
to effect a lineup is creating quite an ante
assembly stir.
M. L. Temple, as head of the ways and means
committee of the house, is particularly objec
tionable to the Cummins administration. Mr.
Temple is Colonel .Pete Hepburn's right-hand
man In the eighth congressional district. That
in itself is enough to make him objectionable
to Clarke.
As a legislator deeply interested in the
proposed prison reforms and the indeterminate
sentence law, Colonel Temple, with Senator
Saunders of the senate committee on pardons,
visited Boston just before the Massachusetts
election. He returned and gave out tbe report
that Governor Cummins' progressive ideas were
being used agaiust Governor Guild for election
by the democrats. Governor Oummins secured
an absolute denial from Governor Guild. The
incident left a sore spot with the administra
tion men, and they are ready to take it up and
depose Mr. Temple from his chairmanship of
the most important committee in the house. A
fight, of course, will result. Mr, Temple expect3
soon to be named United States attorney for tho
southern Iowa district.
John S. Stanberry of Mason City wants a good
1 chairmanship. By the death of Representative

Calls Football a Crime.'
Dr. Mark A. Dashiell, representative from
Warren county, Intends to introduce an anti
football measure. He is a cousin of Paul Dash
iell, the member of the national football commit
tee from the naval academy at Annapolis.
While one member of the family is strongly op
posed to any radical change in the college game,
the other Is convinced that football as It is now
played should be made illegal.
Representative Dashiell says the present game
of football is a crime and that be proposes to
introduce a bill prohibiting It. He claims that
the game has a demoralizing influence on stu
dents in grammar, high schools and colleges. He
does not object to the old association game, but
likenB the present form of game to a prizefight.
Ho admits, however, there is a grave possibil
ity of the bill being shelved by the legislature,
but believes that the Introduction of tbe meas
ure will have a tendency to call the attentbm
of the public and college faculties to the brutal
ity of the sport.
CHAPMAN NOT MURDERED
Emmetsburg Officials Deny Recent Sen
sational Reports.
EMMETSBURG, IOWA.Citizens generally
deprecate the notoriety which has been given
this place because of the mysterious absence of
G. W. Chapman, a business man. All sorts of
sensational stories have been printed in the Des
Moines papers and it has been stated that Bm
inetsburg citizens fear the missing man was
i|jV murdered in a saloon and his body thrown into
a sewer or the river.
Ninety-five per cent of the citizens here do not
believe anything of the kind. There is no evi
dence to warrant such reckless statements. The
sheriff, mayor, marshal and other officers ridi
cule the idea that Chapman has been the victim
of foul play, had sold his team and made
other preparations indicating that he had re
solved to desert his home and his business. He
was seen near the Rock Island stockyards and
doubtless left town on some train.
The Democrat of this place says: "Mr. Chap
man was a good citizen. Nothing seems to be
wrong in his business affairs, but it is said
he had not been prospering. probably. became
discouraged and will
heardHe from later It is
of course, possible that he became mentally de
ranged, but he showed no symptoms of insanity.
There is not the slightest evidence of foul play,
Th epereons against whom the Des Moines papers
The persons against whom the Des Moines papers
kitten. The Idea that any business man could
walk into an Emmetsburg saloon in broad dav
and be murdered without the citizens knowing
about it is utterly *preposterous."

MORE EVIDENCE IS
NEEDED AT TRIAL
HELENA AUTHORITIES WILL EX-
HUME MURDERED MAN'S BODY. i
State Determines to Learn Whether
Bullet or Blow Caused Death of
Young Wason Oliver Near Wolf
CreekCamile Remey, Accused of
Murder, Declares Innocence of Crime.
Special to The Journal.
Helena, Mont., Jan. 6.At the trial of Oamile
Remey on a charge of killing Wason Oliver near
Wolf Creek last September it has been decided
to definitely determine whether a bullet or a
blow on the head with a blunt instrument caused
Oliver's death. Two Helena physicians have been
delegated to go to Dillon, Oliver's borne, where
he was buried, and exhume the body, making a
careful examination. The character of the de
fense is said to depend materially upon tbe result
of their investigation, as the state has claimed
all along that the blows on the skull and not the
bullets caused death.
No murder trial in Helena in years has at
tracted so much attention, women being promi
nent among the spectators. Curiosity among tbe
men is equally strong.
The state is still introducing evidence relative
to the accused and deceased having been seen
together around Wolf Creek prior to the killing,
and of Remey's desperate efforts to escape tbe
law afterward by fleeing half across tbe conti
nent and being eventually captured in Victoria.
The trial will hardly end next week, as tbe court
is allowing tbe attorneys for the defense no little
latitude In cross-examining tbe state's witnesses.
Dangerous Fire at Docks.
For three hours the Helena fire department
fought a stubborn fire in the Northern Padfta
coal docks here In imminent danger of an explo
sion from gasolene.
The gas engine house, furnishing power for
two engines to run belts carrying buckets of
coal, a wooden building with walls lined on both
sides with sheetlron, furnished the fire, which!
was in the walls between metallic sheathing,
and bard to reach. There were several large
tanks full of gasolene In the building, and these
threatened to explode at any minute.
The department kept water playing on tbe
hot walls of the building, and finally extin
guished the blaze after small damage, not to ex
ceed $S0O, had been done.
