IN IRON CIRCLES,

Market conditions are still furnishing
arguments for both bearish and slnguine
views of the future. In raw material
the predictions of those who began in
September to prepare the trade for a
slump. have not been realized certainly
Bessemer pig has held its own since the
recovery a week ago of a portion of the
ground that had had been lost and 5ll
is the market today. In foundry iron
there is fair demand in some selling
centers, with indications that consump.
ton is increasing, though slowly. The
chief Southern producers are endcavor-
ing to hold prices in territory in which
Southern iron has no competition. In
other markets they are meeting the low
prices made by Northern furnaces. In
Chicago, in pursuance Of this policy,
local coke furnances are not having the
field so completely to themselves. y
sale of Southern No. > soft was made
there at SO recently. For shipment
east some sales of No. , soft have been
made by Southern producers at $50
at furnace. There is an evident de
termination by the furnace firms OF the
South to regain some of the ground that
has been lost to them in the reign Of
low prices made possible by the cheapest
coke and the cheapest Lake Superior
ore in the history of the trade.
Eastern reports indicate more active
market the past week. While prices
are weak more business has developed
in that section. In finished material
the aggregate of orders in the East is
larger, though the promise Of future
business is not specially assuring.
Several hundred tons of iron plates
were taken in one Philadelphia order.
Wrought pipe demand has caused
some activity, also. in skelp, There has
been some improvement in the buying
of billets for Eastern mills, Pittsburg
sellers coming to a basis of SlT.I5 to
SIS delivered at Philadelphia.
In most instances Pittsburg finishing
mills are still well supplied with orders,
structural contracts from the East help
ing out the large producers; but wi
dences appear in the Western market
that some sellers are crowding for bust
ness. Prices in general are thus kept
on low level, with an exception here
and there. Plates have been advanced
by one producer. though the general
market is not tirmer. Sheets are an
active market and the shut-downs due
to the tin plate dead lock have shortened
the supply.-Iron Trade Review.

against j. G. Bell for congressman from
the Second district but went down by

FEARFUL FLOODS.
Destruction Causeu Dy High Water In ths
 Northwest.

l R- Destruction Cause, Dy High Water In ths | Northwest.
 VANCOUVER, E. C., May .31.-The Frazer river has become raging tor rent and is dealing destruction and death at every point. The surround j ing valleys have been submerged, houses and outbuildings of ranchers have been swept away, and where but few days ago waving fields of grow | ing grain met the eye, is now but 8 waste of water. Whole herds of cattle and hocks of sheep have been drowned in the rushing flood. Whole villages on the banks of the, stream are float ing. So far eight human lives are known to have been lost.
 At Langley little boy fell from a porch of the Langley hotel and was swept away by the flood. The hotel was afterward washed from it's founda- tions. The entire town is flooded. The whole of Langley prairie is now under water, as also the island on which is the Indian reservation Four Indians who were trying to tow some cattle from ridge on the island behind their canoes to the mainland were capsized and three of them drowned. The dead bodies of ! three men and little girl were found on Hatztic prairie entangled among floating trees Many other bodies are reported as having been seen in the stream in other localities, but so terri ble is the current that all attempts at rescue were futile.
 At Morris steamers sail right across where farms used to be. Farmers fear ing to remain longer are taking pas sage on steamers and bringing their families here. The towns of Chilli wack, Harrison and Centerville have been almost entirely inundated, and it has been with difficulty that the in- habitants have escaped with their lives. The damage done to the Canadian Pacific track is very serious all along the line. At Hatztic the dyking has entirely given away, and 600 yards of road have been ear ried away. At Nicomen the whole town is under water. Traffic over the railroad is entirely stopped, no train having arrived from the east since May 23. No mails have been received or dispatched.
 PORTLAND ISUSDATED.
 PORTLAND, Ore, May 3l.-All high water records were beaten here at o'clock yesterday afternoon, when the river reached 2S.9 feet above low water mark. Reports from the Upper Colum- hia are such that rise of at least 30 feet above low water is expected. Union Pacific mails and passengers due here have not arrived. The Northern Pa cific is open from St. Paul to Kelso. At the latter place the train due here last night was placed on the huge transfer boat Tacoma, which brought the train to this city by water, distance of 50 miles. The boat arrived this evening and immediately returned passengers to Kelso.

HOUSEHOLD pRupGERY.
Why Women Should Break Away from
 Time-Honored Systems.

| Time-HoDored Systems.
 It is well-established fact that American housewives are the slaves of conventionality and method if ever women were. What we need is a declaration of independence from this present cast-iron system that makes us all do the same thing on exactly the same day and at the same hour, not be- cause we want to, oh no, but be. cause everybody does so we must. Our mothers washed on Monday, ironed on Tuesday, baked and mended on Wednesday, gave the girl her after noon on Thursday, swept the house on Friday and baked on Saturday; bless your heart, it was always done this way, and who dares jump the fence? And to forego the big, hot Sunday dim ner would be a hercsy from which the stoutest and most progressive heart refrains 1 know that the time-hon- ored prophecy is based on Patrick Henry's saying that there was no way of judging the future but by the past, but with due respect to that worthy gentleman, there is better way, for where would progress be were that the principle of life? We should be in a continuous round, cir cle, treadmill, from which there would be no escape; as yesterday was so will tomorrow be. Why not select new way of doing even the old things just for change if for no other motive; it is the same old groove, or rut, that grinds us down and whit ties us into the sharp points that we so much dread; so then, first of all, let us dispense with some of the luxuries, say the big Sunday dinner that entails so much work on the feminine portion of the home, and let us eat that meal some other day or if you will have a big dinner on that day go to the res- taurant and give the wife little, at least, of different kind of cooking: true it may not be savory as the home made article, but it will enhance our appreciation of that article. Then in- stead of burdening our souls on Sum day evening with the query as to whether the washerwoman will come on the morrow, and the preparations for her reception, in the way of getting up the tubs and sorting over the soiled clothing, why not leave these rites until Monday gather up our clothing on that day and wash on the next; if not, why not? There are a number of things that might be done, but Rome was not built in day nor will all the reforms come in a day.-Grace Ter. hume, in Womankind

Party Dresses for Girls.

Party dresses for little girls are quite as attractive as the childish beauties of the little wearers deserve. The main idea on which the small maiden's party dress" is built is low-necked, short-sleeved slip of silk, over which is draped gauge, tulle, chiffon, or mus lin, the skirt and bodice being made in one in the silk slip, the skirt either made full or flaring, in nine-gored shape. If there is muslin worn over this, it is a mass of frills, high in the neck, the sleeves coming down to the wrists and the whole enriched with beautiful needlework. Lace and body ribbon are also used in the production of elaborate effects.

AWFUL ACCIDENT.

Train Wrecked on the Central Wisconsin
 Road While Running at High Rate of
 Speed-Six Persons Killed and Many
 Others Injured.
 MANSFIELD, Wis, May 3l.-The St. Paul limited southbound train on the Wisconsin Central road which passed here at 1903 yesterday morning met with a horrible accident which has never been equaled in northern Wis consin, and adds another long list of victims through disasters of this kind. The train, which was made up of seven coaches and sleepers, left Abbott's Ford behind time, and while running at 50 miles an hour struck defective split switch at Mann vile, d deserted station, derailing the entire train and piling engine and cars in heap of broken timbers. To add to the horror the entire mass was soon in a sheet of flames, which, mingled with the grOans and cries of the in- jured, made scene that turned the hearts of the bravest. The victims are
 Dead-James Hubbard, enginee., of Stevens Point; George Gebbart, fire man, of Stevens Point; John Bigelow, head brakeman, of Stevens Point; - Russell, civil engineer, Stevens Point; aged man and woman, names unknown, buried in the ruins; it is said they were not on the train at St. Paul.
 Injured-Henry c. Hester, ,Marshfield, legs and spine badly injured O. W. Bozely, news agent, Stevens Point, in- jured internally; Arthur Turney, Chi cago, head cut and otherwise injured, will recover; D. R. Weitzel, Glidden, hurt internally; Fannie Burtle, Spring dale, H., hand badly cut; William Ryan, Sturgeon Bay, ribs broken and head cut; E. A. Twitchell, attorney at law, Minneapolis, head cut.
 As near as can be ascertained. about fifty passengers were on the train, and as the work of clearing away the wreckage goes on others may be yet found to swell the list of those who met death by burning.

PRETTY BED SPREADS.
CharSning Patterns Which Are Delight.
 ing Good Honsekeepers.

Ing toou hoHsoheepers'
 A pretty spread may be made with a series of squares of linen worked in a pattern resembling tiles. White linen is often used for these spreads, but quite as pretty are some of the tinted fabrics so popular now-pale blue, green or fraise, for example-such as may be worked with white flax thread and trimmed with torchon lace and in sertion. The size of the larger squares depend in great measure upon that of the spread, and they may be made all exactly in the same or in different man. ner, according to fancy.
 These squares are connected with bands of insertion, and these are fin ished with tiny squares of linen em- broidered to match the rest. deep frill of lace should be carried round the edges. Some workers make coverlets such as this of series of linen doy- leys, such as may be bought ready traced at the shops. Instead, too, of connecting them with bands of inser- tion, pretty effect may be obtained by using them alternately with squares of drawn threadwork, guipure dart, or fine crochet. The frill round the edges, of course, must correspond.
 Another pretty bed spread may be made of square of tinted linen bor- dered all round with a broad hem (about five inches wide) of second color. Partly on the center and partly on the hem should be traced flowing pattern to be worked in white flax thread, and in the center should be traced colossal initial or monogram.
 Other spreads may be made of ere tonne, the design being accentuated and partly filled in with stitches of col bred silk and perhaps an outlining of tinsel Large tassels of parti-colored threads should be sewn on at intervals along the sides.-Chicago Mail.

This is the result of the action of the Mis- souri strikers, under the leadership of Editor McGregor, of the Miners Echo, who yesterday morning marched in a body, headed by the Lexington band, to the lines of the North Leavenworth shaft property to prevent the men from going to work. While no threats were made, many of the miners feared injury and returned % their homes.

Was Afraid of the Water.

An interesting incident of wild beast life was recently witnessed by n tourist in Asotin county, Wash. A deer came bounding down the steep side of bare, rocky hill on the edge of Snake river, closely followed by a large mountain lion. The deer plunged headlong into the river and swan toward the further shore. The big cat stopped short at the waters edge, put its paw gingerly into the water, drew it back and watched the deer gain the opposite bank in safety and disappear in the woods. Then, with a disappointed snarl, the lion Shlnk away.

Then run the wire through these holes so as to make it stand out in points inside the box, as shown in the design. Do you see that this wire lining the box on each side gives a set of brackets down the length of your box into which the envelopes are to be slipped?
 The disfgurement of the box upon the outside may be covered with a band of ribbon with a rosette bow at the corner. Ribbon across the top, too, will be pretty and serve as ground for painted or written in- scription, "Clippings."-Aunt Laurie, in N. Y. Recorder.
