CRE8TON, la., Sept. S. (Special.)
Will Hon. W. P. Hepburn have any oppo
sition for the position ot congressman
from the Eighth district Is the question
Just now. At the democratic congres
sional convention here a week or two ago,
after vainly endeavoring to persuade i
Claude Porter, V. R. McGlnnls, J. R. Sul
livan and others to take the nomination,
they finally decided upon a man whom they
thought would make the almost hopeless
i ace, In the person of W. T. Davis of
Hamburg. Mr. Davia, however, doea not
aeem any more, anxious to be sacrificed
for his party than the rest and has an
nounced .that on account of 111 health he
will be unable to make the race thla fall.
At the recent convention' held In Dea
Molnea the ' committee from the Eighth
district met ant aelected Hon. J. B. Sul
livan of thla place to fill tha place on the
ticket. When told of their action Mr.
Sullivan appeared very much surprised
and announced that ha positively waa not
a candidate and would not allow the use
of hia name under any consideration, that
he could not run and that he had ' not
changed hia mind alnce then and that he
waa extremely sorry that the committee
had made It necessary tor him to again
make that public declaration. It Is now
likely that tbe committee will not attempt
to again All the place, aa all tha probable
men have abaolutely refused to accept the
nomination, and another convention - may
be called In the Eighth district.-

DES MOINES, Sept. 5. (Special.)
Thomas Lewis waa arrested today by Con
stable Sunberg and arraigned before a Jus
tice ot the peace on the charge of being
the murderer of the Peterson children in
April last. Thomas and Lena Peterson
were murdered In the suburbs of the city,
In a section known aa Highland Tark,
about three mllea north of the poatofflce,
on Sunday night, as they were on their way
home from church, which they had attended.
Their bodies were found soon afterward
and several arrests followed. At that time
Thomaa Lewis was taken Into custody by
the sheriff's force and examined. He and a
cousin and a friend had been seen on tho
Des Molnea river bridge on the night In
question, and It waa found that the three
had been together In the early part of the
evening, and Lewis accompanied the other
two aa far aa the bridge on their way
home. But he waa released, aa there ap
peared to be no evidence against him.
There was great excitement over the mur
der, the governor offered a reward and
cttlzena raised a large fund to bunt out
the murderer. H. O. Carpenter, a lawyer,
haa been working quietly on the caae ever
alnce and filed the Information, accusing
Lewis of being the author of the crime.
Carpenter haa not divulged what evidence
he haa, but declares his belief that Lewis
la the right man. The preliminary trial
la set for next Tuesday and the father ot
young Lewis has employed able counsel to
defend him. Lewis Is a coal miner, who
Uvea at Arqutsvllle, . a coal mining sta
tion Just beyond Highland Park. He la 28
years old and unmarried.'

Meetings of College Boarda.
The board of- trustees, tjf- the State Nor
mal school will' meet, September 9 and it
la probable that the "board will take up
"the matter of meeting tbe requirement ot
the War department a to the military ln
atructlon given. . The rechool has not been
giving Instruction quite as strongly aa
the War departments-requires now and It
is doubtful If -the students can spare the
time for full -military Instruction. The

of the presidency' dfcthe college may be

HINDOO EDITORS.
Ways of the Jonrnnllstlo Craft In the
Far Orient.
In candor and Ingenuity of excuses tbe
average editor might learn something from
his Hindoo brother, says the Los Angeles
Herald. When the first copy of a new
Hindoo paper made lta appearance re
cently nearly half ot It conalsted of empty
columns. The following editorial note,
however, explained the vagary: "We re
gret that thla, our maiden number, should
lack completeness, due to miscalculation.
We thought we had sufficient material and
consequently did not trouble to collect
more. We can assure our indulgent read
ers that this will not occur again and we
trust that tbe quality ot the contents will
make up for the lack of quantity."
Another Hindoo editor found It necessary
to suspend the publication ot hia paper for
a fortnight without a warning. When tbe
paper again made lta appearance it con
tained thla notice: "We regret that, owing,
to a mlaunderatandlng with a rival editor,
in which we failed to get oft the beat ot
the argument. It waa necessary for ua to
retire unexpectedly from the conduct of
tbla paper for the apace of two weeks,
during which we have had the opportuni
ties ot devising certain Improvements,
which we propose to Introduce Into It.
The rival editor-,- we regret to report, la
atlll confined to hia borne."
When the Hindoo editor wishes to real
for a time from hia labors ha calmly an
nounces the fact In these or similar worda;
"Aa we are beginning to feel the phyaleal
and mental effecta of a year's unremitting
devotion to the Intereat ot our readera, wt
feel It due to them that we should take tha
rest which our labors In their behalf de
mand and deserve and aa a natural conse
quence beg to notify that this paper will
cease to appear for the apace of four
weeks."
A ahort time ago an Indian newspaper
appeared with two very conaplcuoua blank
columns, on the front page. The editor ex
plained thla eccentricity thua: "We have
reserved thla apace for an exceptionally
powerful article on a aubject of unlveraal
Interest to our readera, but at tbe laat
moment we find that the article cannot be
compreaaed within the two columns re
served for It. It will make lta appearance
next week." '
Tho Ever Womanly.
Chicago Poat: "I bate to be contra
dicted," ahe aald.
"Then I won't contradict you," be re
turned.
"You don't love me," ahe asaerted.
"I don't," he admitted.
"You're a hateful thing!" ahe cried.
"I am," he replied.
"I believe you're trying to teaae me," ahe
aald.
"I am," he conceded.
"And that you do love me."
"I do."
For a moment aha waa silent.

"Law, yea, ma'am! ET.en knows all

FARMERS ARE NOT TO LOSE
Decreasing Quantity Will Ht Oompenia

R. G. DUNN TAKES THE CHEERFUL VIEW
Declares that Their Steady Progress
In Trade and Industry with Do
nestle Conditions Better Than
Tho Abroad.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6. R. O. Dun ft Co.'i
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow will say;
Steady progresa is reported In trade and
Industry. Distribution of merchandise ia
heavy and a healthy tone la evident. Domes
tic conditions continue much better than
those exlHting uliroad and home trade re
ceived mom attention than foreign com
merce. Farm products have appreciated In
value owing to less favorable weather and
producers will be fully compensated lor
any decrease li quantity by the higher
quotations. Earnings of railways during
August were 1.6 ner cent laraer than a
ytur ago and 18.8 per cent In excess of
lurnt. I
Better deliveries of coke and liberal re
ceipts of foreign material have lessened tho
pressure In the iron and steel Industry,
while quotations In a few lines have weak
ened. Domestic demands are not decreas
ing, much new business having been placed
and home consumption will continue to
call for Imports on a larger scale.
New plants are being added to the pro
ductive capacity as rapidly as possible, I'Ut
In railway equipment, especially steel rails,
orders are already placea for much of next
year.
Uppers Are Still I'p.
Quotations of footwear are fully main
tained at the recent advance. It la note
worthy that buying haa been heaviest In
the finer gradea and aample lines of spring
styles are also most sought In the good
dualities. A good feature Is the urgency
for quick shipment, Indicating that stocks j
recent advance In quotations, but hides ap
pear to nave risen aoove tne views or tan
ners, resulting In a quiet market. Ad
vancing raw material aroused much
anxiety amona nuachaaera of cotton aoods
and there were numeroua Inquiries for for-
wara contracts, nut tne volume oi bualneaa
was not materially Increased.
Agricultural conditions are less satisfac
tory and If the official estimate as to cot
ton la not exaggerated the yield will not
be large enough to sustain consumption at
the present rate. Wheat la coming forward
freely, though recelpta do not equal the
abnormally large movement a year ago.
Corn developed strength because of fears
that injury would be done by frost and the
movement Is very slow, compared with laat
year's figures.
BRADSTREKT'S REVIISW OF TRADE.
Paat Few Daya Were Prosperous and
Future la Bnconraarlna;.
NEW YORK, Sept. 6. Bradstreet'a to
morrow will say:
All available data confirm reports of paat
good trade and foreahadow as good or bet
ter yet to come. It has been essentially a
week of active buying In distributive trade.
Reports as to August trade have been al
most uniformly favorable, and the records
of failures show business mortality to have
been confined to a low summer minimum.
Prices show persistent strength despite the
fact that agricultural products, except corn
and prime cattle, tend lower. Corn Is not
yet out of danger from frost In the north
ern half of the belt, and this, coupled with
short supplies, Imparts strength to cereala
generally. Reports of cotton deterioration
caused by hot, dry weather, have scared
shorts and stiffened values of raw and
manufactured cotton, but there Is a feeling
that the crop damage talk has been over-
UUUC.
Rather less disturbance Is noted In labor
matters, some strikes having been declared
off. The anthracite trouble still hangs over
the situation, but the volume ot coal ship
ments Is slowly and steadily Increasing.
Some wage advances are 'noted In widely
separated lines. Collections In the north
nd west are unirormiy gooa, but, wnne
aome Improvement ia noted In the south,
room for betterment atlll exlata. Jobbing
activity la undiminished at the west, north
west and southwest and is or satisfactory
volume at the east. Dry goods, ahoea,
millinery, drugs, hardware, groceries, cloth
ing and- lumber -figure- aotlvely In the de
mand. Leather sales are large at the west,
but high-tide prices discourage tanning.
At the east the advanoe In cotton Is stimu
lating; the cotton . goods . markets,. Good
reorders are noted In woolen gooda, but
spring gooda are meeting moat attention.
Silk goodk are good and prices are very
firm. Eastern shoe factories are well em-
nloyed. . although the complaint of small
profit continues. Wool ia half a cent higher
and tends up, aa stocks are not large.
The fuel shortage is pressing on tne iron
furnaces, and now the acarclty of cars and
motive power ia affecting the movement of
ore from lake ports to tne rtttsDurg dis
trict. New demand for pig Iron Is. how
ever, light, primarily because buyera have
booked largely aneaa. .f oundry iron is i
higher. Heavy Imports of foreign Iron and
ateel have cut down premiums on Immedi
ate delivery business, but In the scarcity
of supplies of domestic no particular Inter
est Is taken In this. Salea of foreign made
material are very large, in finished prod
ucts business In rails, bars and aheeta la
fair and mills are heavily aold ahead. Tin
plates and wire nails are quiet, but a better
business is looked for soon with the growth
of fall trade. Hardware Is apparently aa
active as ever. Copper la allghtly firm.
while tin Is lower.
Wheat. Including flour, exports for the
week ending September 4 aggregate 6,376,21
bushels, against S.436,530 last week, 4,406,064
In this week last year and 8,373,100 In 1900.
Wheat experts since July 1 aggregate 44.-
657,5!)6 bushels, against 61,632,662 last season
and 80,317,861 in vm.
Corn exporta aggregate 21,196 buahels,
agalnat 115,150 last week, 560,873 laat year
and 3.162,271 In 1900. For ' the fiscal year
exports are 839,839 bushels, against 10,743,815
last season and 36.254,250 in 1900.

Pahio's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and Nerv
us Headaches that Make
Life Miserable. ,
Sick and nervous headaches are amongst
the worst Ills of life. The man or woman
who Is subject to headache at Irregular In- .
tervals goea through life bearing a load
of misery and wretchedness that Is ter
rible to think of. -
Headaches as a rule reault from avals
ordered condition of the nervous system.
Mental excitement, loss of sleep, bodily,
fatigue, and disordered dlgesttos are ex
citing causes. When the brain becomes ,
tired and debilitated, the whole nervous ays
tern ia weakened, and headaches result. If ,
the liver Is sluggish, the kidneys Inactive,
and digestion deranged, headaches Inverts- ,
bly follow. To cure and prevent headache,
the nervous aystem must be strengthened
and vitalised. The most persistent cases
of headache, nervous feebleness, and sleep-
lessness, are permanently oured by Palne'S '
Celery Compound; It la the great recon
structant of ' the nervous syatem. Mrs.
Henry Weatrlck, St. Clair. Mich., tells of
her releaae from suffering as follows : ."'
"I have been troubled with dyspepala
and sick headache for a number of years.
About every week I would have a bad apeil
of sick 'headache, but since I began using "
Palne's Celery Compound, my dyspepsia Is '
aone. and I do not have any more head-
acbea. I feel better than I have for
yeara." m
POOR SUFFERIN CARACAS;
Senior American Missionary For--'
wards a Moat Plaintive Appenl to
tho United States. "
WASHINGTON. Sept. B. United Statea
Minister Bowen at Caracas has forwarded,
to the State department, under date .of Au
gust 24, a plaintive plea for the poor In that ,
capital, who are suffering great misery as.
the reault of tbe protracted war now In
progreaa.
The special plea Is made by Rev. T, S. .
Pond, the senior American missionary In
Caracaa, and Mr. Bowen haa undertaken
gladly to receive any contributions that
may be sent from America to hia legation. '
He said that Mr. Pond does not propoJ to
give money to tbe poor, but only provi
sions that are cooked. He heeds, accord-'
lng to Mr. Bowen, 13,000, but could easily
use five times that amount.'
In hia appeal Mr. -Pond says that he has
not In his' experience "known anything to
compare with the widespread and hopeless'
poverty of the present." ;.'-.
. He refers to the fact that Minister
Bowen himself Is feeding 100 or more des-1
tltute people.
At least half the families of this cityt
says Mr. Pond, "can get only one fair
meal a day. Hundreds cannot obtain even
that." . - '
