YOUNG FOLKS WIN PRIZES
Competition in Cora Judging, toek
Jadalnn; and Talks Farm
Topics Fill Ip the
Program.
The Pottawattamie county annual pic
nic at McClelland yesterday drew to
gether a crowd estimated at between 3,000
and i.oiiu people, farmers from the adja
cent country chiefly, but with representa
tives of many other counties who were
sent there to Inspect the county's model
farm. The fame of the farm has spread
throughout the state and its reputation
has been established as being the best
and most nearly model farm in Iowa. A
number of Ames Agricultural college pro
fessors and students were there to assist
in conducting the various Judging contests
and to give practical instructive talks to
the farmers.
Council Bluffs was represented by
about 2U0 boosters from the Commercial
club and the National Horticultural con
greas and the Corn show. Congressman
Walter 1. Smith and his opponent, State
Senator Cleveland, aivd about ell the
county candidates were also present, but
no political speeches were made.
A feature of the picnic was the domes
tic science department conducted by Miss
Watts of the Ames college faculty for the
instruction of the women. 1'rof. Storms
of Ames was on the speakers' program
and gave a practical lecture on agricul
tural science. He strongly advocated the
teaching of the science in all of the rural
schools and county teachers' institutes
The chief features, however, were the
corn Judging contests, in which thirty
eight farmer boys were the contestants
conducted by 1'rof. l.ainson of Ames.
Each of the boys had five ears of corn
and prizes were awarded to the three
best Judges. The first prlxe was won

Council Bluffs
Valiant Tabby
Whips Mr. Dog
Kittens Have Courageous Protector
and Canines at Broadway and
Firt Mutt Beware.
A tabby cat has achieved the enviable
notoriety, from the feline standpoint, of
being able to whip any dog that happens
to tarry within the vicinity of the Broad
way Methodist church. Tabby's home Is
In the grovery store of Bartel Miller
on Broadway and First street, and the
dog that comes Into the store must bp, ac
companied by his master and put himself
upon his best behavior and preserve it if
he wishes to preserve his skin.
Yesterday a big black dog, wearing a
leather harness and a mean look, en
tered the store alone and walked toward
the back part, where there is an interest
ing family of kittens. Tabby Instantly
1 ecame the Incarnation of fury. The dog
flew out of the store with Tabby riding
between tils shoulders. Ho ran a block
and Tabby was still there. He finally-
dislodged her by lying down on the car
tracks and rolling over. Instead of head
ing for home or safety, he dashed into
a tlrug store. Tabby Went after him and
rode him out Into the street again. When
the cat was again dislodged the dog ran
into No. 4 fire station.
This made Tabby still more furious for
she is very friendly with the firemen,
and when Tabby went in and brought
him out he was in deep distress. When
released again, Instead of heading toward
open country, he bolted Into the Hafer
Lumber yards, another of Tabby's pre
serves, and wae followed by the valiant
cat.
When the Interview closed the dog's
state of mind and hide were truly piti
able, but Tabby's auger had been changed
to contempt. She simply chased the
frantic dog from one side of the street to
the other until he sought a sanctuary on
the steps of the Methodist church, and
before he was dislodged Tabby had to
remove several more tufts of his hair.
She finally got him headed down street
in the middle of the car tracks and chased
him leisurely a block.
Crowds of people watched the fight
and cheered Tabby when she returned to
the store. All day yesterday she watched
from a vantage point in front of the store
and every dog that lingered on that side
walk Instantly got Into trouble. "
DIN'S REVIEW OF TRADE
Irade Recession Although Plain Con
tinues to Be Irregular.
BUYING FOR IMMEDIATE NEEDS
Some Tendency Towards Firmness la
Apparent la Certain Departments
f Iron and steel, Rat Out
look la I nrrrtaln.
NEW YORK, Oct. l.-R. O. Dun
Compuny's Weekly Review cf TraJe today
says:
The trade recession, although plain, con
tinues irregular. Actual business for Im
mediate needs is In more branches large,
but there Is comparatively little buying
for future or speculative requirements.
In- drygonds this tendency Is manifesting
itself, and as It serves to keep stocks low,
It makes for a strong economic position.
especially as retail distributions aggre- j
. . . . v ,a iitiivuir in .lew y . ail
these conditions that building operations
although falling behind somewhat in some
localities are, taking the country over,
so large.
Shine tendency toward firmness Is ap
parent In certain departments of iron and
steel, although in general the outlook is
sufficiently uncertain to make consumers
cautious in contracting for future require
ments, and most of the present demand Is
for immediate needs only. Encouragement
is afforded, however, by the insistence of
buyers for prompt delivery on finished
materials and by the liberal tonnage
of rails being booked for export The
situation in pig iron Is confusing; both
producers and consumers hold divergent
views In the matter of prices. A substan
tial volume of business has been placed for
wire goods, and contractors for structural
material aggregate a good tonnage on the
basis of $1.4-1 at Pittsburg. Demand for
plates Is somewhat lighter, with a tendency
toward slightly lower quotations. Dress
goods and men's wear for immediate ship
ment are In better demand, while spring
business is limited. Dress ginghams and
sub count prints in cotton goods are being
ordered freely, but staple domestics are
very quiet although there Is a moderate
demand for print cloth yarn goods for
printers and converters use, sales at Fall
Klver last week running ahead of pro
duction. Mills continue to curtail In cot
ton centers, and until the cotton crop Is
matured selling agents are slow to move
on prices for staples. Yarns rule generally
quiet, with some improvement noted in the
call for worsteds. The silk trade shows
decided steadiness and better tone.
Eastern footwear manufacturers are re
ceiving larger orders for certain kinds of I
goods and business again shows improve
ment this week, but other lines are as
slow as ever. Trade In sole leather Is Im
proving with sizable sales of union backs
reported recently in the Boston market
and tanners asking firmer values on about
all tannages.

Peculiar Injury to Brakeman.
IDA GROVE, la., Sept. 30. (Special.)
While crawling tip, the end of a coal car
loaded with lumber and with his hands
over the steel end of the car, C. J. Erlcksen
of Wall Lake, a brakeman on the North
western, waa painfully Injured and he may
lose a number of his fingers. Just as he
put his hands over the top of the car end
a switching engine rammed the car at the
other end and caused the lumber to slide,
catching all eight of his fingers under the
steel end. Unable to pull out his hands,
Erlcksen hung suspended In midair and his
shrieks could be heard several blocks. It
was with difficulty that a crowbar with a
a point sufficiently sharp could be found
to pry back the lumber and it was several
minutes before Erlcksen was released. All
eight fingers were mashed to a Jelly, but
physicians hope to save them. He was sent
home to Wall Lake.
AVOCA EDITOR IS INDICTED
County Treasurer J. W. Mitchell Will
Have tbrie Growing from Ma
bray Cases, Tested In Court.
Editor F. M. Beymer of the Avoca Jour
nal-Herald, the only democratic paper in
the county, is under arrest upon a grand
Jury Indictment charging him with crlm
Inal libel. The complainant Is County
Treasurer J. V. Mitchell. The indictment
was returned by the grand Jcry of the
Avoca branch of the u. strict court, and
Is another unfortunate result of the Ma-
bray cases.
When the suit of 'William Su'tor, the
Cass Lake, Minn., mike, against the First
National bank and sever 1 Council Bluffs
citizens was on trial the prosecution at
tempted to snow that Treasurer Mitchell
and several other local men who had
gone to Cass Lake to make Investiga
tions In behalf of the defenne, had endeav
ored to dissuade Sutor from coming to
Council Bluffs to prosecute his case.
There were plenty ot witnesses to refute
the charge, but they were not needed.
Beymer, commented upon the matter in
his paper, from the viewpoint that county
officials should try to persuade witnesses.
Editor Beymer did not know that the
Council Bluffs men went to Cass Lake to
secure evidence to Impeach the testimony
of Sutor and in no manr.er to threaten
him.
When such a serious c.arge was made
against him Mr. Mitchell decided to have
It thoroughly Investigated In court. Bey
mer appearerf before Judge Green and
filed a bond of $SU0 for his appearance
when required. It is Improbable that the
case will be tried at '.he present term of
the Avoca court.

Reports Point to Sdjthtly Increased
Demand from Jobbers.
NEW YORK. Oct. l.-Bradstreefs
today says:
Reports from distributive trade centers
this week point to a slightly increased
demand from Jobbers and retailers. Col
lections show some betterment and a few
markets note slightly less tension in local
money conditions. Still, buying la classed
as conservative as a whole.
Industry shows few chanires. Iron and
steel are quiet and actual necessities gov
ern taking of crude and finished pioducts.
in tne woolen goons trade the outlook
Is still not entirely clear. Raw wool
at Boston Is relatively lower in price
than at London.
The leather and shoe trades are below
normal activity as a whole, and buying
of shoes Is conservative.
Advices from the west and south are
rather better as to this line, but tile !
rsew lorK building trades are disorgan
ized by a strike of 20.000 bricklayers. The
coal trade has been benefited by the ad

NEW YORK. Oct. 1. Henry O. Oster
niann, former president of the Ostermann
Manufacturing company, . under crocs-examination
by counsel for the defense In
the Illinois Central car repair fraud case,
testified today that demands for money
by certain Illinois Central officials became
so pressing at one time that small stock
holders In the Ostermann company could
not be paid even a nominal dividend upon
their Investments.
"At first," said Ostermaan, "only IS per
cent was given to the Illinois Central. Sub
sequently this was Increased and finally I
told the bookkeeper to charge enough on
car repairs to cover the payment of tribute
to Illinois Central officials.
, Wanted Additional Work.
"Later on Joseph B. Buker and John M.
Taylor suggested that we get work from
other companies as well as the Illinois
Central. I went to Baltimore and was
about to close a contract with the Balti
more St Ohio railroad, when I was given
to understand that President Harahan of
the Illinois Central railroad would rather
have us spend our time on the Illinois
Central cars instead of doing work for
others. We did an unusually large bus!
ness in the late summer of 1!."
Judge Bruggemtyer announced at the
close of today's session of court that the
hearing would be resumed at I o'clock
Monday afternoon.
The prosecution announced that William
M. Drennan, former treasurer of the Os

Ostermann's evidence. The announcement
caused some surprise, since It was under

Concerning his experiences with corpora

"I have worked for corporations, cer
tainly, JuBt as every other New York law

about that.. I have performed services for
many corporations, but I don't believe that
anybody can show that my connection wltn

of my duty toward the public."

save the other fifth for the people."
Francis J. Ileney, speaking before the
National Irrigation congress here on the
last day ot its session, was given an ova
tion today when he thus defined the pur
pose of the conservationists.
"Two-thirds of our coal lunds already
have been given away," he continued.
"Any policy advocating the retention of In
effective laws for the giving of the other
third of our birthright can only be con
sidered a policy of foolishness.
"Why were we not wise enough to act
when the populists told us these things
fifteen years ago? instead we waited un

President Taft endorsed the Roosevelt pro

"That federal control Is essential to equit

of Interstate streams."

Opinions of Leaders.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1. The executive
committee of the lirotlierhood of Ma
chinists, tlu-ouuli Secretary Robert M.
ijucacy, umay sent to tne interstate Com
merce commission a protest against the
recent petition prci-ented to the commis
sion by officials 6t various organizations
of railroad employe urging that the pro
posed advance of freight rates should be
approved. The opinion is expressed that
this action by the chief of the railroad
brotherhoods reflects on the intelllgenco
and leadership of the labor movement and
doubts cast whether the rank and file of
those organizations approves the position
taken by their leaders.
in part, the leTTer nays:
"The officials of the railroad unions
made a great blunder or worse, from whlctj
no benefit can accrue to either the rail
road employes or any other class of
workers. The demands for Increased
wages have not been based on an enor

tui.iiuuii mm nuie earners are not fe
et iving what they deceive. If the In
creased wa;es are taken as an excuse for
increases iu railroad rates, we can see no
end of the circle in which we will travel,
for these charges are always passed on to
the consumers, the majority of whom are
wage-earners.
