The saving season in Rock Island
is practically wound up, the mills
shutting down nearly two months in
advance of the usual time. This is
due to the dull market consequent
upon the stringent condition in
money matters through which the
country has passed. The mills of
Weyerhauser & Denkmann here and
in Davenport suspended two weeks
ago.and the mills of the Rock Island
Lumber company viii not run later
than next Tuesday. The mill and
lumber companies do not report n sat
isfactory season, nor do they feel
that prospects are any too bright
just now. We are only hoping for
the best, " said F. {. Denkmann this
morning. but we have no more idea
at the present moment when next
season will open than the man in the

the market must brighten considera-
bly, to relieve us of goods in the

sadly Demented.


sadly Demented.
The Omaha Bee of Thursday morn
ing contained the following:
A. NJ. Blair. the crazy man from
Rock Island. H.. who labors under
the impression that he has enough
morev to pay off the national debt,
and who n few days ago drew a
check for $50. 900. 600 in payment for
4 glass of water, is still in the coun-
ty Jail, and is making the officers and
inmates lot of trouble Tuesday
night he conceived the idea that it
was the proper thing to take the
hearts out of the inmates of the in
stitution. clean them and put them
back in place. As none o. the pris-
oners would submit to Incorporation.
Blair grew angry and declared that
he would kill the whole outfit. He
became so obstreperous that he had
to be put in i straight Jacket and
strapped to Il bunk. where he re-
mained during the night. keeping
everybody awake by his wild screams.
Blair at one time resided in Omaha
and operated 4 saloon. but that was
years ago. and since then he has lived
in Rock Island. where his family is
now stopping,
Brought to Rock Island.
Sheriff Bennett, of Omaha, brought
Blair to Rock Island last night and
lodged him in the police sta
ton. Blair is undoubtedly a
raving maniac, and talks in
coherentlv and in rambling sort of
a way. Chief Sexton put in most of
the day looking up Blair's family. as
the city directory contains no one by
his name The chief late this after
noon ascertained that Blair had been
4 brakeman on the Rock Island road
and that his family reside on Thirty
fifth street. near Moline avenue.
Officer Brunnan notified her OF her
husbands condition. and she visited
him at police headquarters.

The rolIy OF BEING in Debt.

CLEVELAND, May 27.-In response to
a telegram sent him by and afternoon
paper, Gov. Foster answered as follows:
Thanks for your offer OF space.
Ny present mental distress precludes
ceptance OF your kind offer to any ex-
tent.
my failne simply illustrates the
great folly OF permitting ones self to be
in debt beyond the reach Of reasonably
Quick assets for relief, when the hour
of difficult borrowing comes. When
people are in such condition, and the
stability OF existing financial conditions
is shaken, the result is inability toeor-
row, suspension and failure.
"Business is largely done with bor-
rowed money. Confidence in the main
tenance of sound financial conditions is
esiential to legitimate lending. The
public confidence has for some time
been shaken in the ability or capacity
of the government to maintain gold
payments is evident, The natural I'm
pulse of banks in such times Is to
strengthen themselves against some
possible and unusual draft. Then comes
inability to borrow, decline In prices,
suspension and bankruptcy follow.
''The country is possessed OF enor'
nous resources, which are at the com
mand Of the government and should say
and act in terms and ways that will sat
isfy the country with ambiguity or uD'
certainty that gold payments will be
maintained.
