be. Speculative markets have been quite
Irregular. The anticipation bill still alarms
some, while the vote In the House leads
others TO believe IL viii not become a law.
Pork products show greater strength and
have further advanced, supplies OF hogs be-
ing very small. Coffee has been strong, adj
vancing "a quarter with moderate sales.
Wheat has risen Nc. Cotton declined 3-16c.
Never has there been more phenomenally
satisfactory season for textile manufactures
or goods. Exports are improving n little,
but the outgo OF - 1000 in gold expected IL
not due to trade balances, III the tentative
action OF strong banks does not check the
movement, further measures by the clearing
houses are contemplated for prevention of
disturbance. The treasury has not been
losing gold, and the soundest men feel that
the treasury and the banks operating To
harmony should be abundantly able TO meet
difficulties until the new administration
makes known its policy. The business fall

Shot the Man who stabbed Him.

Steven Gabriel called at Stephen
Turner's house at the Wenthrop mine
locationn near Ishpeming and announced
his intention OF killing Frank Novak
with a big pocket knife which he
flourished. He broke into Novak's
bedroom and stabbed him in the dark,
cutting an ugly cash in the scalp.
Novak secured a gun standing near and
shot Gabriel in the stomach. Gabriel
expired almost instantly. Novak went
to Ishpeming and gave himself up.
Gabriel left Copper Falls, Mich, a
year ago because of nearly killing a
man there with whom he got into an
