north to the Watch Tower road and
west to the Tower. The route in
this city was changed somewhat.
much to the disappointment of many
who had gathered along Third avenue
between Twentieth and Twelfth
streets to witness the race. The
wheelmcn considered the Twentieth
street hill preferable to Twelfth
street, where the road is somewhat
cut into ruts and the Tower approach

in plan was made in the original pro

SAME OLD STORY.
A Boy Shoots His Brother with Revolver
lie Didn't Know Was Lnaded


What might have been a serious,
II not fatal. accident, was narrowly
averted yesterday morning. at the
home of John A. Platt. No. 420.
Forty-fifth street Walter Platt,
aged 16. who has been staying with
n brother-in-law at PorterFs Corners,
back of Davenport, came home to
visit his folks Saturday evening.
Yesterday morning he found re-
volver belonging to his younger
brother, Arthur. aged Is, and asked
permission to shoot it. Arthur told
him he could not as it was not
loaded. and he then left the house.
In the mentime Walter found some
cartridges which had been hidden by
Arthur, and put four in the revolver,
and then laid it down and went to the
cupboard to get something to eat.
While he was in the closet. Arthur
came il and heard him, and seeing
the pistol lying handy, picked it mp
and stepped to the cupboard. eN-
claiming: Throw up your hands,
you're a burglar" and before Wal
ter could say a word of warning. he
snapped the trigger

NOT PROMISING.

Gratifying as is the fact that the
national treasury is attaining a stronger
position, confidence will on the other
hand be lessened by the high rates for
sterling exchange and the reported Lon
don failures. Exchange rates quoted
at $3.50 show a profit in exporting gold
and unless rates are lowered it will be
impossible to check the outflow of gold
to Europe. The failures abroad have
doubtless been caused by the Australian
troubles, and while the crisis is still
pending there London will sell our Sc
curities and demand gold in payment.
In u own country the Chicago fair
fulflls no ones expectations thus far
and only by the reports of increasing
business can the hope be buoyed up to
have confidence in its financial
su 1t will require an average
daily paid attendance of over
100000 people in order that the
receipts shall equal the outlay made
Besides this there will be the additional
cost of maintenance. Thus far during
the first ten days. only 273,0OO paid
visitors had passed the gates. Add to
this the prospects of poor crops, de-
creasing railroad earnings following
competition for business, and there is
little to base hopeful news on.
In the general government the out
look is likewise not good. The two
months record of this administra-
ton shows a balance of trade against
us Of $780, 00, 900 as compared with a
balance OF s7O,0 O0, 900 during Harri-
sons first two months. If we buy
merchandise we must pay for IL, and
pay for il in gold.
