BETTER PROSPECTS.

Dun's Report Makes a Better Showing the
Past Week-Business Failures.
NEW YORK, April 30.-R. G. Dun Sc
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
More favorable weather in many parts
of the country during the past week
has brought better reports of business.
Undoubtedly distribution has been much
retarded by the backward season and
the condition of country roads, and in
some quarters collections have been
slow on that account. This
week the improvement in such
quarters has been general, and
meanwhile the volume of business
continues to surpass all previous
records. Gaining but little, yet gaining
at least over last year, and falling be-
hind only about 1 per cent. at the south
in the aggregate, Notwithstanding the
great depression in the price of cotton,
the volume of trade has been over 10
per cent greater than in any other year
at the west, though On the Pacific slope
some decrease appears. That collec-
tionS are on the whole satisfactory, the
condition of the money markets and re-
ports from other cities clearly show. In
all parts of the country the supply of
money is abundant but the demand is
not specially active.
The business failures throughout the
country during the last seven days mum
Der 211 as compared with a total of POI
last week. For the corresponding week
of last wear the figures We're 255.

AS easily answered as asked. 1t is
for Dyspepsia. 1t is a special rem

Nothing more than this. We believe
August Flower cures Dyspepsia.
We know it will. We have reasons
for knowing it To-day it has an
honored place in every town and
country store, possesses one of the
largest manufacturing plants in the
country, and sells everywhere. The
reason is simple. 1t does one thing,

LOOKS BAD.


A Very Bad State of Afafrs In the Dis
turbed District In wyoming.
CHEYENNE, Wyo., April So.-Gov.
Barber has made an extended reply to
the demand of the sheriff of johnson
county for the prisoners of war. The
executive says he has every reason to
believe that the persons of the stock
men would be unsafe in the section
from which they Were brought under
military protection after the failure OF
the expedition. The governor Is very
decided in his views, and claims that he
is well advised. Deputy Sheriff Roles
and his assistant, of johnson county,
declare that the fears OF violence to
the stockrnen are groundless, and
say they would ask for a continuance
Of military protection The opinion
here is that while the accused may be
compelled to visit johnson county, it
win be some time before the trip is
made, and every imaginable effort will
be made to avoid II The Buffalo reso-
buttons surprised everybody, and enc
mics of the stockmen say this break is
the only error of the rustlers and their
friends Gov. Barber is declared a
traitor to his people. 1t is mentioned
that 1--WE view with suspicion citizens OF
johnson county who patronize the two
dailies that upheld the stock commits
sion and denounced rustling."
The resolutions guarantee the convic-
ton of stock thieves on prima facie evil
dence. Letters from secret agents and
others indicate that the north is still in
greatly disturbed condition. A cry
for vengeance fills the air. One other
newspaper has been suppressed. This is
the Sheridan Post, at the capital of the
county adjoining johnson. Its editors
refused to publish resolutions similar to
those adopted at Buffalo. A dozen
men who signed the denunciation of the
state authorities have written Gov.
Barber that they were forced to fall in
line. The mayor of Sheridan has a
fight on his hands for refusing 20 sign.

A Battle With Tramps.

COLUMBUS, Ind. April 2S.-Yesterday
morning as the Panhandle freight went
south two negro tramps boarded a car
and took refuge behind a coal oil tank.
They were ordered off, but declined to
go, and when the trainmen persisted the
tramps used their revolvers, firing several
times. The trainmen thereupon began
closing in upon them from both front
and rear and several shots were ex-
changed. Some of the bullets passed
through the clothing of the tranps and
one Of the brakemen was severely
wounded. The tramps then jumped
from the flying train and rolled down a
bank

THE NEW COUNTRY.
Thirty Thousand Settlers Reported to i
Upon the Cheyenne and Arapah

Upon the Cheyenne and Arapahoc
Lands.
GUTHRIE, Ok, April 2s.-Gov. Seay
yesterday returned from the Cheyenne
and Arapahoe reservation, having spent
week in the saddle, and in that time
witnessed 100000 acre tract Of land
change from a primeval wilderness to a
farming community, thickly dotted
with homes, and thanked by a half
score of busy, growing towns. No
where else on earth has such Il
transformation taken place. Thirty
thousand permanent residents are now
building homes where q week ago
was nothing but the Indian and the
prairie dog. The governor is perfectly
satisfied with the perfection OF all ar
engagements of the opening, and is proud
of the people of Oklahoma and the en-
tire west, because Of the great respect
for law and order shown by all through
out the exciting scenes of the opening.
Up to the time Of his leaving the reser-
walton yesterday he had been unable to
learn of any trouble of any kind, and
further reports received to-day make it
absolutely certain that not a hostile
shot was fred, nor a single man
wounded or injured during or since
the opening. Col. Wade, commanding
at Fort Reno, telegraphed last
night, that all reports of conflicts
between soldiers and sooners, and be-
tween different parties of settlers. have
been thoroughly investigated. and are
absolutely without foundation Re
ports from every comfy seat state that
business is starting out nicely: that all
is quiet. and there has been no trout
OF any kind. All this shows that, con-
trary to the general belief in the east,
the people of Oklahoma and the whole
west are 1aw-abiding.

of a scientific lecture the other day,
told his young auditors how to blow
soap bubbles. In substance his direc-
tions We're: Take lamp chimney-one
which is straight up and down-dip one
end in g solution OF soap and water
until fat disk Of film covers its end.
Blow gently until the bubble is started.
Then remove the chimney about two
inches from the lips and continue blow
ing gently. In this way giant bubbles
can be blown without exhausting the
blower. The addition of little glycer-
inc to the soap and water is very advan-
ageous.-Philadelph Ledger.
