Some Nerve.
The Merchants Supply Co.,
Wholesale Feed and Produce
Dealers, must have faith in the
futu*)e feed market. They re
cently placed an order with the
well known flour and feed house,
X Allen Smith Co., for One
Hundred tons of their famous
Peerless brand of Shipstuff. It
deems to be the general opinion
of the trade that feedstuff will
be scarce for the next sixty or
niisety days. Many mills are
shutting down, x>wing to the
scardty of good milling wheat.
This will have a tendency to
make feedstuff scarce and high.
The trade through this lotion
is to be cogratukted that their
wants ean be supplied by this
enterprising fiirm.

Villisea, Iowa, Jurx* 10—Eight
bodies^'all mutilated almost be-
yorld recogniti(xn“wei« found
muHered in the home today of
Joseph Moore; a proniinent busi
ness imn of thisi^ce. Th« dead:
Jjoseph Moore and wife; Her-
maii Moore, ag^ 11; Gatherine
Mpiore^aged 9; Boyd Moore agr
Paul Moore,-aged 6; Miss
es jEdith and Blanche Spdlinger
ag^ 15 and 9 reispectively.
:'3^e bodies of all with their
jbeads t^^n'ibljr ^ an,
axe were found murdeised in their
beds.' There is no definite clue
to the murder, ialthough the au
thorities are searching for a sus-
^ct. A desire for revenge is be
lieved to have prompted the mur
der. '
Only one of the bodies showed
indications of a struggle. One of
the Spellinger girls lay with one
arm thrown out as though she had
awakened and tried to ward off
murderer’s blow.
A lighted kersone lamp was
fouf.d on the floor in the middle
of the room occupied by Mr. and
Mrs. Moore.
T^e only clew to the slayer so
far discovered are' bloody finger
prints in different parts of the
hoiise.
Inquiry has convinced the au
thorities that no other visitor was
at the Moore home last night up
to the time the family retired.
The house stands among a num
berof residences but none of the
neighbors heard an outcry last
night.
The murder Sunday night of
the entire family of Joseph Moore
and two girl guests, eight persons
in all is tonight baffling the auth
ori ties who have been unable to
secure a trace of the murderer
anit have little or no clue to his
identity. Tiie murderer killed
every person in the house and es
caped. It is apparent he had a
key to a door of the house, be
cause all doors and windows were
found locked.
The first intimation of thekcrime
came when a clerk in the employ
ment houseofMr, Moore went to
Mr Moore’s home to find what de
layed Moore in reaching his place
of business today. Finding the
house ^ocRed,’ the window shades
all down and no one about he noti
fied. the neighbors and with assis
tance forced an entrance.
The dead with one exception
were found in their beds, appar-
enjtly sleeping and until the
wounds on their heads and the
blood on the piltows was discov
ered, the searchers could not be
lieve any thing was wrong in the
house. A bloody with hair and
pieces of brain^nging to it obi
ously the implement used in the
wholesale murder was later found
in on upstairs room.
Mr. and Mrs. Moore were in
one bed, in another were two bops
The sisters occupied a third and
the youngest boy was alone in a
i small bed. - The bedding had no
where been disarranged.
The Spellinger girls who were
over night guests occupieda room
in anocher part of the house.

There is an offer of 1 to 3 that

Belief that neither the Colonel
nor President Taft can be elect
ed is further* reidlected in the
offer of 2 to 1 that Mr. Taft wilt
not be re-elected. But if both
run the President gets the best
of it in a 1 to 2 bet that the Col^
onel, running independent, will
capture more votes than Taft
will get on the regular tickets
A certain amount of confidence
in Democratic success* shows in
an even money offer that, the
next President will be a Demo^

wanted against Roosevelt or Taft
men winning.
The odds.on the list of present
Democratic candidates follow;
9 to 5 that Clafk will hot be nom

not; to 1 that Underv^rood will
not 4 to 1 against Harmon ,* 6 to 1
against Bryan, and when the
list lilides down to Gray nor the
Wall Streeters are willing to
wager 8 to 1 against his captur
