The leather trust, which is owned by the Chicago beef barons, lias announced that the price of leather is to be increased 20 per cent. This will mean a corresponding increase in the price of shoes. The cloth manufacturers also have announced that an increase in clothing from five to fifteen cents a yard will be put into effect this fall I Much criticism has been directed against Governor Wilson by uninformed men and newspapers because of his alleged antagonism to immigration. In one of his books Governor Wilson deplored the artificially stimulated immigration from Southern Europe, and he particularly deplored the practice of steamship companies holding out false promises to people on the other side, in order to induce them to come to this country. These steamship companies, through advertisements and huge placards, gave out the impression that every man who came here would be given a farm free by the goverment. and other ridiculous promises. Governor Wilson wrote that this had the effect of bringing a lot of people here who would not have come had they understood the real situation. Mr. Wilson is not opposed to immigration. He takes the position that this country always has been and always will be a haven for the oppressed peoples of the earth, and he asks only a sane and reasonable impnigration regulation.

TWO DROWN IN QUARRY X . — — v CONTINUED from page one blacksmith, constructed a grappling hook, which was attached to forty feet of iron pipe and shortly after six o’clock, Mr. Hubbard’s machine again started to the scene of the drowning, with Mr. Wagner, Sheriff Durkin, Policeman Melchi, and a Democrat came from Monroe and the nearby country. A raft was built and was soon manned by various volunteers. At just 8:15, Policeman Melchi who was then using the grappling pole, brought to the surface the body of Skeya. Fifteen minutes later he brought up the body of Yednar, but just as he got him to the surface the body slipped off, and again sank. Then began what looked like an almost end less job, fishing the body of the unfortunate man up. Not less than twenty-five times the body was brought part way to the surface bv Wagner, Thomas or Melchi, but each time it would slip off the hook'. Finally at ten o’clock Melchi succeeded in hooking the body under one arm and brought it up. The men were found in twenty feet of water, about twenty feet from the north shore and within a few feet of each other. It is likely thev sank together. Perhaps a hundred people were at the scene when the last body was taken I out. Coroner Held Inquest. Coroner J. C. Grandstaff, who had been notified was at the quarry when the bodies were taken out and held the inquest, taking the testimony of the three men who were there when the drowning occurred. Bodies Brought Here. The bodies were turned over to Yag- , er Bros, and Reinkipg, placed in their , ambulance and brought to this city, I where they were taken to their mor- , gue and prepared for burial. The j body of Yednar was badly scratched | j and cut from the prongs of the hook.! : Skeya had on a pair of light trousers. I I and this made it easier to raise him, ' Yednar being entirely disrobed. Men Had no Money. Although it was reported that the | ' men carried life insurance and that ; each had a bank account in Chicago, ' a search of their papers, failed to show any thing to substantiate that, i They have some money coming which i will be applied on their funeral ex-1 . i penses. I The funeral services will be held i Sunday afternoon at 3 o clock, stanlard time, from the St. Mary’s church. | : Interment at the Catholic cemetery. | —o VISIT OLD FRIENDS. — G. \V.

! SOME OLD TIME PREACHERS In Pioneer Day* in Missouri Every Divine Carried a Gun With Him to Church. Nearly every pioneer preacher In Missouri was as expert in the use of the rifle as any of the laymen, says a writer in the Globe-Democrat. Services were usually held in a neighbor’s cabin Notice of a “meeting” was promptly and generally circulated, and the settlers attended, uniformly bringing their rifles to guard Against possible surprises or to obtain game on the way to or from the service. The practice of carrying firearms was not abandoned or suspended even an the Sabbath, An old pioneer states that on one occasion religious services were held in Saline county when the preacher proclaimed the gospel of peace with his hand and his clothing •overed with blood from a deer that lie had killed and butchered on his way to the meeting that morning. The pioneer preachers labored without money and without price. They gained their subsistence as did their neighbors, by the rifle and by their laily toil In the clearings and the sorn fields Rev. Justinian Williams, Methodist, and Rev. Peyton Nowlin and Rev. Thomas Kinney, Baptists, were the first preachers in Saline county. They preachy on Edmonson’s Creek, and in the Big Bottom. "Old Man Nowlin,' as he was called, was a sedate gentleman, dry as to manners and sermons. but with a kind heart and good intention. His colleague, Kinney, however, was of a jovial disposition and very popular. He was without literary atainments. but invariably provoked his congregation to laughter. Nowlin took him to task upon one occasion tor his levity. Kinney answered: "Well, I’d rather preach to laughing levils than to sleepy ones, as you do. You make them sleep and I make :hem laugh. My congregation will pass yours on the road to heaven. I bet you a coonskin they will.” MRS. SMITH HAD A SURPLUS ' Undeniable Fact That Made Her Admit Stranger Might Be Right in Her Claim. I A woman who may be called Mrs i Smith placed her umbrella against the counter, at which she was making some purchases in a department store the other day, and when she finished picked it up and started away. At i least that was the way it ran through ' her mind. "Pardon me.” said a strange wo- ! man. “but you have my umbrella.” “Oh. no.” said Mrs. Smith, “that is j my umbrella.” I “Pardon me again,” insisted the I strange woman, “but it is mine.” “I guess I know my umbrella,” said Mrs. Smith, beginning to show fight. “If you have lost your umbrella T am sorry, but I can’t give you mine.” “Did you carry two umbrellas when you left-home?” asked the stranger. Then Mrs. Smith discovered that she had an umbrella in each hand and she surrendered. —Cleveland Press. On Safe Ground. Whenever, on one of his rare holidays, Captain Goldby went to the city, he took some young relative with him as a special treat. On one such occasion he told his seventeen-year-old grandson, whom he had with him, that they would "dine at a real rest-rant, And get a taste of fancy cooking.” When they were at last seated In I the great dining room, the grandson ; waited Impatiently while the captain , read the bill of fare completely through ! without omitting a single, article, whether domestic or foreign in title, t At last he sighed, and handed the card across the table to the boy. i "You choose what you like, sonny,” he said, with a sigh. "As for me, I i reckon as I’ve already eat more herrin’ than any other man livin’. I might as well stow away a little more. It's al’lays agreed with me, so far.” — Youth's Companion. Another Triumph of Surgery. Two visiting surgeons at the Massachusetts General hospital, a few days ago “tied off” the entire right lung of a patient at the institution. Although the operation was an advanced one, the surgeons said that the • anesthetic was administered accord , Ing to a new method and it was their , belief that the patient would recover. 1 The difficulty heretofore, when ether had been given in the normal way, had been that >the patient regained consciousness before the operation . was concluded. In this Instance the • Incision was made in the patient’s back. The surgeons said that the I method was so new that it was yet ( impossible to say whether a tuberculous lung could be taken out in the ' same way. I ’ I Great Sea Monster. While one of the gardeners in ; Broomhall gardens was digging a 1 trench recently, says the London j Globe, he came upon an ancient sand i bed. On further excavations being '. made for the purpose of securing sand 1 ' for gardenlug purposes, a huge bone ; I was dlacoveied. The bene Is believed , to be one of the ef a whale lor other great, sea monster, if that ’ i he so, the waters of the Firth of Forth ’ I must have extended at least a quarter ■ of a mile farther Inland at some very remote period. The osseous find was deposited in Lord E'gin’s museum at Lroomhall.
