TWO SIDES TO ROGERS.
(Continued from page 1.)
:he grasping nose, the fierce mustache,
die hard mouth and the aggressive
chin formed a picture to be feared and
hated.
SJiows Pleasant Side.
But there is another Rogers—the
charming, delightful, humorous, fascin
ating man of whom the world never
had a glimpse until he exhibited him
self In an unguarded moment during
the legal proceedings last week. He
was called as a witness, but was forc
ed to wait in an ante-room. At first
he scowled and walked to and fro rest
lessly.
The waiting, the uncomfortable
quarters and the echoes of the per
Bistent probing going on In the other
room changed him into a man of hu
mor and humanity. The reporters
ventured around him and asked com
monplace questions. The ice of his
naturfe cracked a little, but did not
break. Then some one spoke of Mark
Twain. Instantly all the coldness,the
hardness, the reserve melted away and
the hitherto unknown side of Mr.
Rogers' nature came into open view.
He told the reporters a story about
Mark Twain going to church. The
pastor boasted about getting Twain as
a recruit, and said he had lost only
seventeen members from his congrega
tion. The Standard Oil man continu
ed: "Did you ever hear the story
about—"
Then he hesitated, and, looking over
the group for a moment, continued:
"I don't know whether I drire tell
stories in this crowd- It would be like
the sailor who took out a plug of to
bacco on South street"
"How is It, Mr. Rogers?" queried
one of the newspaper men, "that you
have kept yourself locked up all these
years in the Standard Oil building and
never let us get at you to hear these
good'stories?"
Says He ts Modest.
"You see, I was born in the country
and I am a little modest," replied the
financier. "To tell the truth, I was
afraid of you."
The suggestion that Rogers, the man
of cold blood and daring, who defies
courts and millionaires alike, was
afraid of reporters was such a delic
ious little joke that he laughed at It
himself.

Believe Coup Is Planned.
The members of the Shamokin an
thracite combine, who came to Indian
apolis Saturday afternoon and night
upon a special call from President
Michell's office but It was admitted
that there was a concerted meeting. It
is believed the committee is here with
a view to planning a coup by which
the anthracite operators who have
thus far refused to confer with the
mine workers as an organization may
be forced to meet the committee in a
joint conference similar to that held
by the miners and operators of the bi
tuminous fields.
President Mitchell refuses to make
.any statement as to what reply if any,
has been made by the anthracite oper
ators to the communication of the
committee at ths close of the Shamo
kin convention. It has been surmis
ed that the operators have signified
their willingness to treat with their
men as individuals and possibly to
agree to the eight hour day in Indi
vidual contracts. What means may
be adopted by the mine workers to
enforce any plans the committee may
formulate are necessarily speculative
at present, in view of the reticence
of the delegates. But that they are

"That's very kind," was the re
sponse. "I'll accept the off^er, but what
could I do on a newspaper?"
"Edit the funny column," they re
plied unanimously,
Mr. Rogers bowed assent In mock
humor and agreed to turn joke editor
If he should be so fortunate as to lose
his present position. Then the real
Rogers, no longer financier, but hum
orist and democratic companion of his
newly found acquaintances, led the
chaffing and the bantering of wit.
The reporters told him the latest
stoires, and as the delay grew longer
he suggested that in the future there
should be a deck of cards for a quiet
little game of penny ante.
"But if what I hear is true, I don't
know about playing poker with a
Standard Oil man," remarked one re
porter.
"Oh, that's all nonsense," replied Mr.
Rogers. "We are not half so bad as
some would make you think. We are
always willing to do a good turn. I
even am willing to help the attorney
general of Missouri out if I could only
answer his questions to suit him."

patient Into New York in anything but
a weakened condition.
The train pulled into the Jersey City
station of the Pennsylvania Road at
9:30 o'clock and Mr. Field, who had
insisted on dressing and not being
treated as an invalid, was helped into a
carriage, which was driven on board
the first ferry. With his wife and phy
sician the merchant was taken to the
Holland house, where a suite of rooms
had been engaged.
Dr. Walter B. James was placed in
charge of the case, and he ordered
Mr. Field to bed. Professional nurses
were hurriedly called and without loss
of time Mr. Field was given the most
attentive care. His paleness and ap
parent feebleness as he entered the ho
tel caused extravagant reports of his
Illness to be spread. These were print
ed in a few newspapers, but were later
denied.
Expert Is Catted In.
Dr. Jamery called In Dr. E. O. Jane
way, one of Gotham's best known
physicians. The two held a consulta
tion and diagnosed the case as loljar
pneumonia in its first stages. It was
said that Mr. Field stood an excellent
chance. of being out of bed within a
fortnight. But his constitution was
unable to stand the strain and his de
cline has been steady. Dr. Frank Bil
lings of Chicago has been with the
other two physicians almost continu
ously for a week or more.
New York, Jan. 15.— At 3 o'clock
this afternoon it was announced that
Mr. Field had rallied considerably.

FAIR WINTER TRADE.
Early Orders for Farm Mares Feature
the Leading Week's Demand.
Chicago, Jan. 15.—Fair winter trade
characterized the movement of horses
for the week. Estimated receipts ag
gregate 2,289 arrivals, against 2,071 for
the previous week, 2,564 for the same
week last year and 2.026 for the corre
sponding week in 1904. The total re
ceipts for January to date total 4,
360, against 4,236 for the correspond
ing period last year, making a grain for
the month of 124 arrivals as compared
with the same dates in January, 1905.
The mild weather has toned the de
mand for farm and southern chunks
and orders for these commercial
classes are broader than the supply.
Farm mares are active at $75@115 and
upward to $125, and small' southern
ers were brisk at $60@110, with bulk
of sales at $70@90. Big feeders are
in urgent request at $150@180 and up
ward, principal orders being executed
by Ohio and Pennsylvania dealers.
The mild weather operates unfavor
ably on demand for pYlme drafters,
this class moving slow at $160@210
for good to choice, a decline of $5 @10
from average prices In December.
Drivers are moderately active at $150@
350 and upward ,wlth bulk of sales for
good to choice at $150@250. Wagon
horses are free sellers on eastern ac
count at $100@140. At the above
prlccs a good clearance of the week's
receipts Is reported.

as the one Good Dry Goods House in Ottumwa—the Ideal Store—the Store of
Quality—the Store where the Best Styles are found. In a word, the One Store that
Maintains that True Standard of Quality that has caused it to be known as OTTUM
WA'S DEPENDABLE DRY GOODS STORE. In these days of so many
Graft Sales, Graft Imitations and Graft Prices it has withstood the test and trusted in
the Judgment of the Better Class of People, who want Better Goods, Honest Goods
and at Honest Prices, and it has come out Victorious, with the Largest Patronage
Ever Enjoyed by a Single Dry Goods House in this Community. There is a class
of miserable merchandise manufactured for the sole purpose of furnishing such stores
that foolishly operate Fake Sales to Stimulate Trade,'especially so during the dull
seasons/ This store has never been guilty of Buying One Dollar's Worth of Such
Goods and our advice to you is to Avoid the Stores That Do. It will pay you from
the start to patronize
