A Wall of Burning Building Falls on the
 Firemen-Six Killed and Eight Injured.
 DETROIT, Mich, Oct 6.-Fire started in the shipping room in the basement of the furniture store of Keenan & Jahn at 7:3O this morning and by the time the engines arrived it had run up the elevator shaft and the entire upper floor was mass of flame and smoke. There were 60 employees in the building and most of them had some difficulty in escaping. The building, an old five story structure, was soon destroyed. At 9 o'clock the front wall of the building fell into Woodward avenue. The fire men working in front were warned and retreated as rapidly as possible, but some were caught and Lieut.. Michael H. Donohue, of chemical No. l; Rich ard Daley, pipeman of engine No. g.; Pipemen Michael Boyle and John Pa get, of No 9. Fireman Julius Cum mings and Frederick A.

Alcohol in the Arts,

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-It has been de- cided by the treasury department that it is impossible for many reasons, in the absence of any appropriation for the purpose, to carry into effect the provision of the new tariff law reliev- ing from taxation alcohol used in the arts or in medical preparations.

Too Much ActInr,

A stage-struck youth was studying the part of Hamlet for an amateur performance, and, as is usual in such cases everything that he said savored somewhat of the morose Dane. lt happened that one morning he came across an excavation, with two or three men digging below, and, with the 'gravedigger's scene" in his minds eye, demanded, in tragic tones: "Whose graves this, sir?" and paused for a reply, but none came. Again he demanded: Whose grave's this. sir?'' But this time voice that appeared to proceed from the bowels of the earth replied: "Get out, yer born idiot, we'ri only layin' gas pipe. "---Tid-Bits.

pUN,s REVIEW OF TRADE.
The Chief Money Crops of the West and South Sinking in Value-Failures.

South Sinking in yalue-Failures.
 NEW YORK, Oct, 6.-Dun's Weekly Review of Trade says:
 With the chief money crops of the west and south sinking in value it is not strange that purchases of manufactured products are small. CT than was expected. Wheat has touched the lowest point ever known for options and cotton the lowest ever known in any form with the present classification, and the accumulation of stocks in both products is discouraging to pur- chasers for an advance. Producers are com pelled to sell at prices below the ordinary cost of raising crops and in some western states there Is also lamentable failure Of the corn crop. Under the circumstances it would be very strange if the demand for manufactured products should be quite as large as in other years
 stocks in sight, which are for beyond what is usually expected far the season and the eX- ports in September were unusually small. For the first week of October Atlantic exports were 097 3T2 bushels. against S63 7i6 last year, and western receipts were only 4,Gl5,6OO against 6l3O,6S7 last year, and these figures give some encouragement, but have little in- fiuence in view of the unusualvisible supply. The price for cash wheat is small fraction higher for tho week.
 Corn receipts at the west have only been third as large as they were last year, with eX- ports amounting to nothing, but the price has not further declined after the heavy fall during the previous fortnight Pork products are weak in tone, though only lard is Quotably lower.
 The condition of the industries is in some re- spects more satisfactory. Evidently there is a larger demand for iron products than there was month ago. although the increase in out put has been somewhat greater than the in- crease in the demand, so that prices steadily tended downward.
 Failures for the past week have been 2l9 in the United States, against 320 last year. and 39 in Canada apainSt a5 last year.

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 5.-As special vest bound freight on the Wabash road was leaving the city last night it crashed into and demolished a car of the Sub urban Electric railway at Union ave- nue in the western suburbs The car was struck squarely on the front end and smashed into kindling wood. Of the passengers in the car six were injured. Of these the two women and the motorman will probably die.

The name of Donohoe's Magazine,
founded by Mr.. Patrick Donohoe of Bos-
ton. in 1879. is known and respected
throughout the English-speaking world.
Within the past year it has achieved al
most marvellous success. and stands to-
day peerless in its field, doing splendid
work for greater religious tolerance and
better economic conditions. This success
has been won under the direction of its
new publisher, Hon. Daniel z. Toomey,
who, In addition, is at the head of one Of
Boston's book publishing companies and
is representative from that city in the
Legislature of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Toomey writes as follows in can
did and interesting letter:
Il believe in Paine's celery compound.
If tell you why, you may, perhaps, wish
to publish my words. But even that does
not deter me from writing you the truth.

I have no sympathy with the man who
helps tear down the bridge that carried
him over Neither do l sympathize with
the man who hides facts just because
their publication may promote the sue

helped me. That's the fact of the case.
Finding myself run down and getting
into state of nervousness, recently,
took the advice of a medical friend, and
bought Paine's celery compound. It's use
gave me strength, energy and buoyancy.
Business cares were made lighter than
before.

debility, exhaustion, mental depression,

1t is also true that a hopeful man or
woman can do more work and get well

The Migratory era b.

The West Indian migratory crab is the
only creature that is born in the sea- ma
lures in fresh waters and passes it's adult
life on land. Once a year these creatures
migrate in thousands from the uplands
of Jamaica, deposit their larvae in the
sea. then migrate to the rivers and
streams, pass through fresh water stage,
after which they follow their parents to
land until the time comes for them to re-
turn to the sea to lay their eggs.

Then After Awhile He Thought Train

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-. May 5.-August Me
meyer, the son of a contractor in this city,
lies dead in the insane asylum. He was
employed some time ago by the railroad
companies to assist in the search for the
train robbers. He worked with the Pink
erton detectives hired by the railroad and
express companies. Niemeyer believed he
knew some of the robbers. He did some
good detective work, but there was not
sufficient evidence to warrant the arrest of
the men suspected. Niemeyer's mind was
affected by the work, and in short
time it was noticed that his actions were
peculiar.
After he was taken to the asylum Me
meyer imagined that train robbers were
trying to murder him. This hallucina-
ton never left him and it finally caused
his death. 1t is said that Niemeyer found
the men who had robbed the Burlington
trains near this city a short time ago and
that they were some of his nearest friends.

BANK suspeNps PAYMENT.


The First National of Sedalia, Mo-, Falls
to Open Its Doors.
SEDALrA, May 5.-The First National
bank of this city, one OF the Oldest finan-
cial institutions in central Missouri,
failed to open its doors for business. A
notice signed by the officers and directors
was posted on the door notifying deposit
tors OF the suspension. 1t was brief and
as follows: t.wr
I'VE deem it best to close; as affairs now
present themselves to US we are forced to
this issue aud win notify the comptroller
Of the treasury of our action"
The bank has a capital of $3.50, 600 and
was supposed to have a reserve fund of
g., 600. The cause of the suspension is at
tributcd to loss of business brought
about by the publication in st. Louis pa
per several months ago of "fake' tele-
gram from this city stating that the bank
had failed. Other banks became suspi-
cious and the standing of the First Nation
al bank became impaired. The notice of
the suspension has caused much excite
ment throughout the city. 1t is the gener-
al belief that all depositors will be paid in
full. The failure of this bank has not af-
fected the remaining five banks and none
OF them will be annoyed by run ON the

Noted Northern Pacific strike Injanc.
serted-The Practice of United States
Courts Criticised.
WASHINGTON. May 5-''Judge jenkins
erred in issuing his arbitrary Northern
Pacific strike injunction, but he did it
honestly and we cannot recommend inn
parchment proceedings to be brought
against him." These are not the exact
words of the report made by the congress
sional committee appointed to investigate
that celebrated injunction which has
proved SO odious to the laboring public,
but they set forth the sentiment expressed
in the document which was rendered to
congress. The report goes into the many in
tricate details of the proceedings of the
court and the causes leading thereto and.
after telling what the judge did, says it
was done ia error, but in honesty and
candor.
Rights OF LabOring Men to Strike.
The report says the opinions cited by
Judge Jenkins iii support of his action
do rot support him ut all, but. on the
Contrary, show clearly that courts of
equity cannot enforce the specific per-
torrance OF the contract for personal
service by wits of injunction and other
processes. 1t also recognizes the right of
labor,nS men to strike when they feel
Ike Ii. In order, however. that more hon.
est mistakes may not be made. the COM
mi'tee recommends the enactment of u
Jaw prohibiting such DEGREES by courts of
equity. The committee also finds that the
power of the federal courts to appoint re-
oelvers for railways Is subject to abuses
and that the judges often appoint receiv-
ers that are wanted not for foreclosure
proceedings bat TO outwic creditors.
These powers, says the committee, are
purely of the courts creation and there
fore dangerous.
Punishment for Contempt.
The committee would have the cases for
which receivers may he appointed in the
federal courts fully defined by law. The
powers asserted by ;he federal judges to
punish for contempt are also given a sift-
ing, with the conclusion that the unlim
ited use OF such alleged rights is danger
Gus and should he limited by law. The
report closes with the following:
Your committee is OF the opinion that
the protection of property rights should
be LEFT in the hands of executive officers
and that violations of laws should be pun
ished by proceedings defined and provided
by law and that in order to pre-
vent the ablse of authority claimed by
the Judiciary their power to punish for
contempt should be defined and limited
by law"
