OMclal Paper of County.
The National Stock Show
It has been said before but it is
worth saying again that the National
Live Stock Show, to be held in Chica
go the first week in December, will
greatly surpass in magnitude that of
year ago, though it was a world's rec
ord breaker. Greatly enlarged space
for exhibits has been provided, yet it
is none too large for the requirements
of the new event. Those who desire
to see the largest ^aggregation ever
brought together of the best types of
beef cattle, draft horses and hogs can
gratify the desire by being in Chicago
during the week named. And besides
it affords an opportunity of getting to
Chicago cheaply, or at about one fare
for the round trip. With all of its
other advantages this exposition is
highly educational, one of the promi
nent features of this being the exhi
bition of carcasses on the block as well
as on foot, giving spectators an oppor
tunity to see both the outside and in
Bide of the most desirable sorts of beef
animals.
At an old settlers picnic, reports
the Dows Advocate, near Goldsmith,
this state, Herman Salter had a wagon
load of mysterious looking half-pint
bottles in an adjoining grove. He
carried samples among the crowd say
ing with a wink, that he had a fine
article of tea. The bottles sold like
hot cakes and his load was soon dis
posed of, some of the thirsty ones buy
ing three or four bottles. When the
purchasers went to secluded spots to
sample the liquor they discovered that
it was really tea and not whiskey as
they supposed. The vender was ar
rested for obtaining money under false
pretenseB, but was acquitted, the local
magistrate holding that the goods
were true to name as represented, that
the only deception was in the wink,
and that winking was not an indicta
ble offense. Salter made a "clean up"
of $100 in the transaction.—Ex.
$7,082,585-
Notwithstanding the surplus of our
600,000,000 dollars in favor of the
United States for exports, the ship
ment of gold from New York on the
18th was the announcement at
the head of this paragraph.
With that vast surplus due the Unit
ed states, why should not that fund
been drawn upon instead of this gold
shipment? An annual surplus should
require a return of either money or
property of some kind, otherwise it is
a drain upon the countiy and without
benefit.
The Des Moines Capital has been
sneering at and abusing Ex-Gov. Kogg
of Texas, Bichard Croker and Tam
many, but if Lafe Young would make
restitution of the money experts a few
weeks ago declared he had received as
state binder in violation of law,honest
men would take more stock in what
the Capital says. Not a few corrupt
political machines are using Croker
and Tammany to attract the atten
tion of the people while they them
selves get in their nefarious work and
skin up the public.—Elkader Demo

Why is it that republican papers
hail with delight every indication that
Bryan is losing his hold on the demo
cratic party? Is it because they fear
Bryanism or is it because they are so
solicitious for the welfare of their old
time enemy. Democrats don't be
fooled, Bryan is the greatest leader
the great masses of the common peo
ple have had in forty years and the
republicans fear the strength of his
sturdy honesty.
For a starter in that direction, Presi
dent Roosevelt did very well in put
ting under the civil service 1,600 civil
ian positions in the war department,
formerly exempt. Mr. Boosevelt's
Starters are somewhat likely to be
startling.
On the Tuesday after the first Mon
day in the present month Mr. Bryan
was killed for the 4,763,845th time,
It is barely possible that we have
missed one death and that one foots

Captain Carter has reached the
point where he is willing to shoot

Rev. Irl R. Hicks Is Not Dead.
Notwithstanding a widely current
'rumor that Rev. Irl R. Hicks was
dead, he never was in better" health,
.and never did a harder and more suc
eessful year's work than that just clos

and splendid Almanac for 1902 and,
with his staff of able helpers, has
brought his journal, Word and Works,
justly forward into international repu
tation. For a quarter of a century
Mr. Hicks has grown in reputation
usefulness as the people's astronomer,
and forecaster of storms and the char
acter of coming seasons. Never were
his weather forecasts so sought after
as now, his timely warning of a seri
ous drouth this year having saved the
people from loss and suffering. Mill
ions of bushels of wheat were harves

Prof. Hicks, when it costs them so lit

one dollar a year including the Alma

Washington, Nov. 26.—The answer
of the Colombian government to the
representations of Consul General
Gudger, to the effect that the gov
ernment was unable to guarantee the
integrity of the railway communica
tion across the isthmus, was purpose
ly developed in order to make per
fectly plain the fact that the United
States was thoroughly justified in
landing its forces at Colon. With
this formal acknowledgment from
the Colombian government of its in
ability to maintain communication,
it becomes, it is said, not the privi
lege, but the duty of the United
States under the treaty of Granada,
to guarantee that communication,
even though the use of force is nec
essary. It is not intended to inter

or liberal, unless a faction places it
self in the position of obstructing
the purpose of the United States to
keep the Panama railroad open to
free traffic.
Insurgents Reported AarKreaslve.
New York, Nov. 25.—The Herald's
Colon (Colombia) correspondent
cables the following concerning mil

It is announced by the Insurgents
that one of their leaders, Gen. Vic
toriana Lorenzo, with 1,500 men, is ad
vancing toward Chorrera from Peno
nome, which is about 25 miles away
from the former place.
Gen. Herrara, a liberal chief, reports
that there is another force of insur
gents, about 600 men, near Panama.
Gen. Uribe-Uribe will arrive. In
Colon on November 28, it is announced.
The arrival of Gen. Lugo, who has
been with the insurgents at Chorrera,
is expected at Colon daily.

Willemstad, Island of Curacoa, Nov.
23.—(via Haytian Cable.)—The arrest
at Puerto Cabello of liamon Guerra,
the Venezuelan minister of war, who
was elected last month to the post of
second vice president of the republic,
is reported here to have caused much
excitement throughout Venezuela.
President Castro has cabled his rep
resentatives here, saying the pres
ent revolutionary movement, which
is beginning to be called the Matos
revolution, has been frustrated. The
truth of his statement is denied here,
where it is said this revolution has
not yet begun. A steamer, alleged
to have on board 5,000,000 cartridges
and 15,000 Maiiser rifles, destined for
the use of Venezuelan revolutionists,
is expected to arrive in the West In
dies about the middle of December
The representatives of this revolu
tionary movement now here say the
revolt will start after these arms
and ammunition are available and
that the movement will reoeive the
active or passive cooperation of large
numbers of Venezuelans who, they
eay, are becoming tired of the exist
ing state of affairs in Venezuela,
which is characterized by Gen. Cas
tro's political opponents as the
"state of anarchy and persecution
created by the Castro government."
From recent reports reoeived her«
It appears that a number of inoffen
sive traders and citizens, Incapable
of starting a revolution, have been
arrested in Venezuela at the govern
ment's orders. It is further said
that these political prisoners are to
be held as hostages for a premedi
tated forced loan by the government.

Butler. Mo., Nov. 25.—Dr. J. L.
Gartren, on trial for killing D. B.
Donegan, a Colorado miner, was Sat
urday found guilty of murder in the
first degree. The prisoner, who is
70 years old, listened with indiffer
ence to the reading of the verdict.
Dr. Qartrell, his son, P. W. Gartrell,
and Donegan were traveling overland
to Oklahoma last March when Done
gan was killed, near Amoret, Mo., the
motive being apparently robbery.
Donegan's body was foundln the creek
with his head mashed in and later the
Gartrells were arrested in Kansas City
while trying to sell the miner's wagon
and horses. Dr. Gartrell, who was
tried first, took the stand and said he
had killed Donegan with an ax in self
defense, while Donegan was in the act
of braining him with a monkey wrench.
They had quarreled, he said, His son,
th« prisoner declared, was asleep when
Donegan was killed,and had nothingto
do with the fight. Dr Gartrell testified
that he had lived in Texas, California
aad Missouri that he had held the
offices of state legislator and sheriff in
Texas, and was once in business in
Texas.
Young Gartrell will now be tried on
the charge of complicity In the murder.
It is the theory of the proseoution that
the Gartrells oonspired to kill Done
gan for his money and outfits

Kot
Only in Commerce lint Also tn
Finance—Rtisiiiess Ventures Prove
"V Very Successful.
New York, Nov. 25.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: "Never be-
fore In the history of the United States
was such a great reason for a day of na
tional thanksgiving. This country has
made unprecedented strides toward a po
sition of International supremacy, not only
in commerce, but also In finance. To a
marked degree business enterprises havt
proved successful. An idle wheel tn
mills or factories Is the exception, while
labor Is so well employed at high wages,
that consumptive demands sustain market
values of all staple commodities. Trans
porting facilities have been unable to
keep pace with the nation's requirements,
many complaining of tardy deliveries,
which alone act as a brake on commer
cial progress. By closing lake navigation,
lower temperature will relieve the rail
way situation, thousands of cars being
restored to inland traffic. This same fac
tor of seasonable weather stimulates retail
dealings, and prompt collections swell
bank exchanges.
1
Iron and Steel,
"Careful search discloses few unfavor
able factors in the Iron and steel situa
tion. Probably the least satisfactory con
ditions are found ai plate mills, which re
port an uneven distribution of orders. A
few large concerns appear to secure the
bulk of new business,but heavy orders for
cars will largely expand the buying, while
the new combination will put this class of
mills on a stronger basis. In rails there 1b
no apparent limit to the orders placed,
though some mills are unable to guaran
tee delivery within a year. One Pittsburg
report places the year's output of struc
tural material at C00.000 tons. After six
months of more or less Interruption all ma
chine shops and kindred plants at San
Francisco have fully resumed, and It Is
certain that the greatest force on record
is now engaged in the various departments
of iron and steel making.
Farm Products.
"Strength Is the rule In the markets for
farm products. Favorable weather dur
ing the closing days of corn harvesting
failed to bring any reaction from the high
est price level in many years, and the
market was equally oblivious to Atlantis
exports for the week of only 450,424 bushels,
as against 3,838,666 a year ago. After some
weeks of gradual decline toward a normal
position, pork products suddenly bounded
upwards regardless of weakness in Uvs
hogs. Wheat holds at about three cents
above last year's price, despite the marked
difference In size of crops.
"Failures for the week numbered 218 in
the United States, against 238 last year
and 31 In Canada, against 29."
As Seen by llradstreet.
I Bradstreet's says: "Mild weather and the
car shortage are leading subjects for dls
cussion in trade and industry. The for
mer naturally limits retail consumptive
demand in some sections, notably the
north and northwest, but complaints come
also from the south, where, however, the
shorter-than-expected yield and the Iower
than-iast-year's prices of cotton are addi
tlonal features. Taken as a whole, how
the reorder demand from Jobbers the
1 country over, and the inquiry for holiday
goods, is equal to, and, in the Igtter case,
I superior to recently preceding years.
Whie complaints of Insufficient transporta
tion facilities come from all leading Amer
ican. Canadian, and even some Mexican
points, the chief tension is noted in that
part of the country between the Allegheny
mountains and the Mississippi, and be
tween the lakes and the Ohio river. While
it is expected that the close of lake navi
gation will relieve the tension and release
some cars, little permanent improvement
Is looked for until after January 1."
