The Butchers' and Packers' Gazette of Sept. 27, contained the following regarding the Cleage Commission Co., of St. Louis. O. L. Shadford, of this city, is now, and has been for more than a year, agent for the company. Mr. Shadford's office is room 16, Hofmann block, and he will give full details of this company's plan to anyone desiring to make an investment in this stock, who will call or write. There are more than SO prominent Ottumwa men and women who are and have been for more than a year, investors in this company. It says: ^Interesting Statements Con cerning Success of a Re liable Firm. •i! The familiar fable of the sagacious farmer and his sons, and the bundle of sticks, was written long years be tore the modern development of the power of concerted action in commer cial and industrial life was dreamed °f—long before the days of working men's unions and combinations of cap ital, as they exist today. Try as they would, the sturdy boys could not break the bundle of sticks, collective ly. Cut asunder it was an easy mat ter to break each stick singly. The homely fable was simply prophetic of up-to-date methods. It was a plain and convincing demonstration of a later maxim, tersely put: "In Union is Strength." i, It is the application of this princi pie, supplemented by a careful study of conditions, and what may be termed really scientific methods, that the secret of the success of the Cleage Commission Co.. one of the strongest concerns of its kind in the country, may bo fouiid. In these days it: is a pleasure to note an institution, which, while basing its profits on speculation, does so on strictly'business principles scientifically applied. The Cleage Commission Co. operates in corn and wheat as being the most staple products, and in which it proba bly trades, both in buying and selling, to a larger extent than any house in the world today. The reason of its phenomenal suc cess is not hard to discover. Let an individual, whether posted or not, go into the market with $100 or $1,000 and speculate in wheat or corn, and the chances are he will soon be "broke." But supposing he is one of a thousand who pool their joint capital |f which is' invested under the judicious management of an experienced trader. The combined capital, intelligently handled, becomes a factor in the mar ket, and the breaking process is not so easy. Here is where the applica tion of the bundle of sticks comes in. In marked contrast to the aforesaid "Get-Rich-Quick" concerns, the Cleage fcj Commission Co. does not promise ex travagant profits to investors—indeed it guarantees no proiks whatever. It Is this very honesty that has given in vest$j.'% so much confidence in his methods that hundreds of them not only have left thejr original invest ments with the company, but their accrued profits also. Perhaps no word in the English lan I guage is so abused and misunderstood is, as "speculation." To some people it jJS'* stands as the synonym of gambling. But a moment's thought,will convince S, s, every intelligent reader that every commercial enterprise is based on speculation.. A grocer buys a car-load of flour—next week the price goes down he is forced to sell at current prices and loses money—if it advances he reaps an increased profit. The clothier lays in a heavy stock of win ter clothing—a mild winter comes along and he is forced to dispose of his stock at a sacrifice. A manufac turer makes a certain line of ladies' cloaks and is heavily stocked—that particular make goes out of style and he is the loser. Even in the most Maple articles, crop failures, strikes, and industrial conditions affect the demand to such an cxlcnl that most disastrous losses ensue. Speculation enters into every detail ol' commercial sgi and industrial life. Even life and fire mt"- insurance are purely speculative on the part of both insurer and insured. Such being the case, why specula tion in grains should be denounced passeth understanding. Whether for present or future delivery, such trad ing is as legitimate as trading in anv other commodity. The Cleage Com mission Co. invests the capital of its patrons under the intelligent direction 01 Mr. Cleage, who is recognized as one of the shrewdest traders in the jtl market—buying or selling as condi tians justify. It has no lets than 52 'J different brokers handling its business 'lu the Chicago, St. Louis. Milwaukee and Minneapolis markets. Its offices in the Rlalto building,-St. Louis, alone employ about twenty clerks and are a veritable beehive of industry. The method pursued is tlie safest imaginable, and is based on long ex Pf perience. Supposing the company is buying corn. The market opens at cents for December, advances to 3~ys then to 37%. To buy all desired at once would be to unduly inflate the market, and it would be manifestly Impossible to buy for and report ev p, ery individual account. The plan therefore is to buy for all to the best j_ advantage, and then average the price iji of the day's trading. But, not restir* here, as manipula tion of the market might entail seri ous losses, the company protects all trades 'buy buying Puts and Calls, against purchases or sales, so that whatever shoot the market takes, the possibilities of loss are reduced to a 'i,*" minimum. The Put and Call buying 7 and selling is simply a system of in- Rurance to protect, the buyer and seller. It has been stated that the compa ny does not guarantee profits. It only promises to invest ail accounts to' the best advantage. But the fafst remains that since its organization, two and a half years agp, it has paid handsome dividends regularly, so that many of its eaxliesi ©atrons still have their original Investments standing, and drawn out in. profits, two and ..'ree times the amount of their flrsf 'estment. 'waiiA gentleman from Troy, O., who in f^'ed in a small way originally ($100 Vrftlle finHillwt wtini'til, taken) writes fc/wle sou FXKBPV*1. that lie has increased his investment to $1,500, and after a searching inves tigation has induced his closest friends and relatives to invest their savings, some of them in amounts ranging from $10,000 to $16,000. He says he looks upon it not as a speculation, but as an investment. Another patron from St. Louis, Mo., states that he invested $297.50 two years and a half ago, has drawn out $735 in profits since and still has to his^ credit $356.70. No less an authority than Prof. C. A. Bliss, president of Bliss college, Co lumbiis, O., one of the largest and most widely known commercial colleges of the west, who was sent, as an expert accountant to investigate the Cleage Commission Co., was, after a most thorough and painstaking investiga tion. lasting over three days, during which time the books, vouchers, etc., of ther company were freely placed at his disposal, was so favorably im pressed that, after fully reporting to the .secretary of the Columbus Board of Trade, he invested $1,000 of his own money and induced several of his friejids also to open accounts. It should be added that the books of the company are open at all times to any one who desires to investigate them. Unless otherwise directed, invest ments are made on what is known as the "regular plan." Outside of this is what is known as the "Special Pool," invested chiefly in wheat as the more active market, and usually offering wider margins. The methods of the regular and special are practically the same, except that the special, with its larger margins, offers greater possi ble profits, with the possibilities of greater losses. The Cleage Commis sion Co. has certainly become a fac tor in the corn market and stands very high with the trade. ROCK ISLAND WRECK. Eight Cars Go into the Ditch Near Bunch. Centerville, October 29.— (Special.) —As the result of the rails spreading, eisht freight cars went into the ditch near Bunch late yesterday afternoon. No one was injured. The first trains through here since uiat time arrived this afternoon. A wrecking crew from Eldon worked all night to clear the track. Almost Under Engine's Wheels THE NARROW ESCAPE OF YARD. MASTER J.T. ELLIOTT. He Rolled Off the Track Just in Time to Save Himself From a Horrible Death. Pittsburg, Pa., Oct. 30.—Yardmaster J. T. Elliott had a narrow escape from death in the Pennsylvania railroad yards which was attended by circum stances that were peculiar in more ways than one. He had just thrown a switch and was crossing the track in front of an engine when he was seen to stagger and then suddenly to collapse. He fell almost under the pilot but fortu nately rolled off the track to one side. He was not injured. "After that," said lie to a reporter, "I made up my mind to quit work. The fall which might have cost me my life was caused by a nervous trou ble and might occur again at anv time." "But you don't seem to have the trouble now," remarked the newspap er man. "No, I am all right now. Dr. Wil liams' Pink Pills for Pale People brought me around again after the doctors had pronounced me incurable. The trouble began with a severe pain in the legs and the physician at that time said it was muscular rheuma tism. He gave me medicine which I took for some time without seeing any improvement. The pain continued and my strength kept ebbing away. I noticed that I was not as agile as I used to be and could not catch and climb a moving car as readily as I once did. Then came my narrow es cape and I gave up work. "A different physician this time said I had locomotor ataxia, but I only grew worse under his treatment. I began to have attacks of vomiting, one of. which lasted for sixteen days. I grew thin as a skeleton and very weak. Finally I had a consultation of three Pittsburg physicians and they pronounced me incurable. The pain in my body and legs continued to in crease and became so severe that I had to take morphine sometimes to get a little relief. I became just about helpless with no control of my legs. "During the Christmas holidays in 1901 a friend in Iowa City sent me a clipping from a newspaper telling of a remarkable cure of locomotor ataxia in the case of D. C. Peak, of Milwau kee, Wis., by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills for Pale People. So I began taking them. I followed directions carefully and soon began to improve. It was gradual but sure and now I am like another man. I can go around and took a three weeks' trip a little while ago without experiencing any bad re sults. I have not had a pain or a vo miting spell since I began taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills." Mr. Elliott was in the employ of the Pennsylvania railroad for fourteen .years as brakeman, then conductor and finally as yardmaster. He lives at No. 5815 Parker street, Pittsburg, Pa., and is ready to corroborate the above statement. His cure from loco motor ataxia is only one of many ac complished by Dr. Williams' Pink 1 Pills for Pale People and furnishes additional proof that this is not an ordinary medicine. Dr. Williams' PinkPills are wonderful in their po tency In nervous troubles, small or great,-and as they are on sale In every drug store throughout the country, they are-wlihin reach of all. That they cured such a severe nervous dis order as that of Mr. Elliott, proves the power of the remedy In lesser trembles, such as sciatica, neuralgia, nervous headache, St. Vitus' dance and ner vous debility.

Payne arrived in Ottum wa this afternoon to malte the prelim inary arrangements for the reception here of that grotesque Filipino citi zen, Hadji Mohammed Jamalol Ki ram, Sultan of Sulu and Brother of the Sun, who will visit Ottumwa on Wed nesday, November,,/"). Mr. Ki-ram will be accompanied by his retinue of inter esting wives, described as the most be witching girls in all the Philippine ar chipelago. The merry musical suite of his Sulu highness will also include a large following of picturesque na tives, under a guard of Uncle Sam's soldiers and marines and a delegation of Boston school ma'ams, who are en gaged in the education of the Sultan's wives in the gentle art. of flirting and other acomplishments that go with comic opera civilization. It may well be said that Ki-ram is the central figure in the famous oper atic satire of George Ade, of "Fables in Slang" fame and America's most popular humorist.

The funeral services over the re mains of Mrs. Lillie Harman Benson were held at the family residence, 214 North Washington street, Sundaj morning at 11 o'clock. The services were conducted by W. E. Morgan, a Christian Scientist from St. Louis, Mo. The services were very impres sive. Mrs.Frances Clark sang "Abide Witu Me" and "Saw Ye My Saviour?" The latter hymn being written by Ma ry Baker Eddy, discoverer and found er of Christian Science. A large num ber of sorrowing friends gathered to pay their last tribute of respect to the departed one. as well as sympathy/ to the grief stricken family. The floral offerings were elaborate, and exceedingly beautiful which spoke' in mute terms the esteem in which the departed had been held by her friends. Lillie Harman was born in Ottum wa, August 28, 18G8, and died Oct. 23, 1902, aged 34 years, 1 month and 25 days. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph L. Harman. who still' survive to mourn the loss of a beauti ful and loving daughter. She had liv ed all her life in this city, having grad uateu from the high school in 1886, being the valedictorian of her class. On October 25. 1893, she was united in marriage to Ben S. Benson, who with a little 7-year-old daughter. Katherine.i grieve for the loss of a devoted wife and fond mother. A brother, J. Frank Harman, of St.' Louis, survives his sister. Her last mortal remains lay in the parlor where just nine years before she had stood as a bride of him who now mourns her demise. Mrs. Benson united with the moth er church of Christian Science in 1894. She had lived and exemplified her faith until the last. Her life was. as pure as the lily itself. As a child, as a girl, a woman and mother she had always been the same sweet character. Some one has said that her life was just a book of poems, so quietly and lovingly did she send out her influ ence to those about her. The interment was made in the Ot tumwa cemetery. L. H. J. BIG MEETING. Lacey Addresses Eddyville People on Political Issues. Eddyville, Oct. 29.—(Courier Spe cial Service)—^Welcomed by a splen did and enthusiastic audience, greeted by the stirring music of the Eddyville Silver Cornet band and the patriotic songs of the Mucliakinoek Glee slub, Major John F. Lacey, the republican candidate for congress, gave to the people of Eddyville and the surround ing country last evening one of his able discussions of political questions. Marked attention was given by the hearers as Mr. Lacey pointed out the conditions which exist at the present time and contrasted the substantial results which have come to the nation through the administration of the republican policies, with the dire calamity experience during the free trade administration of Cleveland and the adoption of the democratic falacies of those years. Visit of Kelly's Army. The major vividly refreshed the memory with a panorama of Kelly's army moving in their little boats down the Des Moines, all strong healthy men begging for bread in a land of plenty under a democratic adminis tration and tariff for revenue only. A sad commentary upon the policies of a party that is always professed to be the poor man's party and the friend of labor. He preached a brief funeral sermon over the remains of dead dem ocratic issues—imperialism and free silver—and discussed the tariff from a historical standpoint, and showed that the effects of a "tariff for revenue on ly," as compared with a "tariff for protection," on the industrial and ag ricultural interests of the country. Labor Unions in Politics. He reviewed the decline and fall of the farmers' alliance, union labor par ty and other similar labor organiza tions that have taken their lodges and unions into politics and while the Unit ed Mine of Workers of America are now the most powerful labor organiza tion in the world, yet If its leaders per sist In dragging it into any political party it Will only be a question ot time when Its usefulness as an organizaticm will come,to an end.
