gsnious in q Labor-SavinS Way.
An agent from the city was trying to
sell the grocer new self-windino
clock. There was a strong storage
battery connected with it. and it was
intended that the battery should be
kept in operation by means of a small
windmill placed on the roof of The
house. The agent had about persuaded
the grocer to buy, when the man with
the ginger beard, who had been watch

Teller was sort of market gard liner,

CHICAGO. April l2-Country shippers have
rather overdone the thing this week. They
have sent in nearly o.. 0O0 cattle, with the re-

but buyers were in a position to force down

no important change in the latter. the sup

81 90 head since Tuesday

New YoRK. June % Bradstreet's
review of The state of trade says: There

render the fact of some significance.
A notably favorable feature is the
practical ending Of the coal strikes,
together with those in related indus
tries, which win put to work at once,
or soon, more than $4,000 men. The
number of the employees in industrial
lines still on strike is estimated at 30,-
900. There are sales by jobbers in
staple lines for future delivery where
nothing save hand to mouth business
has been reported tor weeks. At points
tributary to Kansas City and st. Louis
grain harvesting is under full headway.
The condition OF the wheat Is excellent

Major Hoechk.ss-says the State May he
Proud Of Her Showing at Chiekamauga.
ST.. PAUL, June %. Major Hotchkiss
of the Second Minnesota battery and
Sergeant Downs Of Minneapolis who
composed the special committee ap-
pointed by the Chiekamauga monn-
ment commission to inspect the monu-
ments erected TO the Minnesota troops
on that battlefield, have returned from
their visit. Major Hotchkiss stopped
at the Merchants for short time while
waiting for the train. '.Minnesotans
have every reason TO feel proud OF
their monments," he said, ''and pronder
still of the fact that they were con-
structed of Minnesota stone and by
Minnesota contractors. The work is
strictly frstclass in every respect.
Furthermore, that Minnesota stone
shows mp to o better advantage than
even the most enthusiastic of the Min
nesota veterans could have expected or
hoped for. Sergeant Dowus and myself
looked at the monuments of all the diff
ferent states on the field and we found
none that equaled those or Minnesota
or which showed mp to such good adj
vantage. When tine Minnesota vet-
Grams 60 down there to attend Che ded-
icatory ceremonies they will have
every reason 70 feel proud Of the man
ner in which this state has designated
the field upon which 30 many OF their
comrades gave up their lives. All Of
the states are erecting handsome nionu-
ments, and the old battlefield will be
one of the most interesting spots in
America"
