CHARLES OTTO SPEAKS.
Glad to See Mendal Pardoned-His
Statement of the Case.

Charles Otto, of Oshkosh, the man
who was injured by Fred Mendel, who
was pardoned by Gov. Peck last Sat
urday, states that he did not plague
Mendel into frenzy, as had been report
ed He says that it was noon when his
brother ard himself were returning
from dinner. They were going through
Mckenzie & Crawford's wood yard,
when they happened to see man
sitting on a box, Otto's brother said:
THE world is going around" where
upon Mendel rose and struck the broth
er Otto claims that his brother then
went on to the factory and he to the
barn to attend his horses. While he
was in the barn Mendel came towards
the factory with an open knife in hand,
and rushed at his brother. Neither OF
to nor his brother saw the knife I'D Men
del's hand, but the engineer saw the
blade and warned the two men. At
this point Mendel made plunge at
Ottos throat, so the latter claims, but
the blow was parted, striking the
head and cutting quite a cash. The
knife was open, as Otto says, instead
of closed, as was reported. Otto fur
ther says that he had never met Men
del until the day that the quarrel oc-
Cured. He is glad to see Mendel out
of prison, so he says, but he desires
true statement to be known.

Bradstreets will tomorrow say that
aside from increased activities in gen
eral trade at Atlanta, Savannah, Dallas,
ST. Louis, Omaha, Kansas City, Mil
waul1ee and Minneapolis, no improve
ment in the demand for staples is re-
ported, in contrast with last week.
An increased grain movement encourag-
ed purchases in the west, but Chicago
jobberS look far enough ahead to per-
ceive that the weeks nominal eXpan
sion Of trade was temporary. Boston's
report Of an increased demand for dry
goods forms the only trade feature in
New England involving increased ac-
tivity. The signs of an expanding vol
ume Of trade in iron and steel, shown
last week at Pittsburg and other cen
ters, proved disappointing. Textile, as
well as other manufactures where run
ming, continue to employ reduced forces.
The prices Of most of the leading food
staples continue to advance, wheat
proving a noteworthy expection, owing
to the increase in the worlds supply.

CROOKED PUBLIC OFFICIALS.

Springfield, III. Sept. 23.-Something
Of It sensation was created in the grand
jury room Il day or two ago which
Las just reached the public, and while
il has created Il good degree of merri-
mcnt, it has also shown up derelictiOn
Of duty on the part of many public
officials. .Juryman Knox, who comes
from Clear Lake Township, demanded
III investigation into charges against
certain members Of the board of super
visors for alleged interest in contracts
with the county in direct violation of
the law. i is notorious that members
Of the county board, members of the
board of education and city councilmen
have been offenders against the law in
this particular for years, al all efforts
10 stop the abuse in the past have
proved abortive. 1t seems likely that
Mr.. KnoX'S effort will not be attended
with any greater degree of success
for there are too many people who have
had some of the profits.

New Work, Sept. Or. G. Dun's
weekly report says that there is no
longer a microscopic sentimental i'm
proyement that cannot be measured.
Money has become abundant and easy
at ) per cent, here on call, and stag
nant speculation fortunately favors
greater freedom in commercial loans.
Stocks and products are dull without
a serious fall in prices, and the indu
tries are so rapidly rallying to max.
good the scarcity Of supplies caused
by weeks Of inactiyenesS. Monetary
conditions encourage a revival Of trade
and industry. While renewals are as
large as ever, commercial loans are
no longer unknown. Large western
obligations have brought an unusual
sum of money from that section, but the
banks, while retiring part of the Cir
culation recently taken out and some
certificates, have not retired large
proportion, keeping weather eye on
the body of the commercial indebted
ness to mature in October and No
vember.
Foreign trade grows more favorable.
Wheat declined ! II cents. Corn
yielded 1 cent. Pork products have
been lifted. Cotton is Il shade stronger
The volume OF domestic trade is still
much below. In clearings outside Of
New York there was a decline of 26.7
per cent. against p at all cities last
week. The receipts Of cattle at Chi
cago for 16 days in September were
IA per cent, smaller than last year,
and western receipts Of wheat We're
40 per cent. smaller for those weeks.
The number of works resuming this
week is at least So wholly and "a in
part, against only 10 concerns mention
ed as having closed, and reducing
force. The industry which shows the
least actual gain is the manufacture Of
iron and steel, in which only change
of price downward has occurred, and
in spite Of the great decrease i'll produc-
ton, the consumption seems to increase
as seen in the demand for a few pro-
duets.
