ONE TOWNSHIP HEARD FROM.
A Man Holmes Was Thought to Have
Killed Turns Up Alive.

Killed Turns Up Alive. II
GRAND RAPIDS. Mimi, Aug 1I.-Dr.
Thomas Russell, whom II. H. Holmes is
suspected of having killed. is alive and
well. and has been a resident OF this town
since 1893 He acknowledged that he had
known Holmes and had occupied rooms in
the building which the Chicago police think
was constructed with a view of the COM
mission of crime.
while 1 was not particularly intimate
with Holmes said the Doctor, IT was
thrown with him part of the time and OBJ
served him very closely. He was known
locally as a man of very little integrity
and man who would not hesitate 10 carry
out his plans. come what might. At one
time he asked me why / did not get my
life insured. at the same time telling me
that he knew a company that would give
me cheap rates. Once or twice ne talked
of people who had disappeared in a mys-
ferrous manner. and even when the subject
was changed kept referring to ii in a way
that made me, think he was a trfie cracked
on the subject. never had any idea that
he was engaged in any business of such
serious nature as the police say but from
my knowledge of the man / am prepared to
believe almost anything

CHICAGO. Aug. H.-Such an unusually
large supply of cattle as was offered to-
day could hardly fail to result in weakness
for undesirable kinds, and while good TO
choice native beeves remained firm others

dressed-beef firms and shippers at $3.50

BOSTON, Aug. 1.-THE American Wool
and Cotton Reporter will say tomorrow OF
the wool trade: New York, Boston and
Philadelphia. and in fact all domestic wool
markets during the past week have been
generally inactive as far as demand is con-
cerned 1t is quite certain that prices In
the majority of transactions have been on
a parity with those received three weeks
ago. In the meanwhile. as trade is pursu-
ing it's steady. quiet course. stock is ar
irving from London and from Western
points and wool merchants are getting their
stock in shape for the fall trade. 1t is quite
generally anticipated that the months of
September and October will find many OF
the more prominent manufacturers in a
position where necessity will compel them
to come to the market for the purpose of
renewing depleted stocks. The sales in three
markets-Boston, New York and Philadel-
phia--amount to 5344.200 pounds. against
s,s2s,75O for the corresponding, period a year
ago. Boston sales amounted to 1928. 200
pounds. The market is quiet. steady and
firm. In the distribution of such trade as
obtaining at present domestic woods are
holding their own with such foreign as are
theoretically adapted to similar purposes.
