INDICATIONS OF IMPROVEMENT
LESS HAZY.

Kansas.
The Week in Trade.

New York special: r. &. Dun e. Co.'S
Weekly Review of Trade will say:
Indications of improvement in business
grow more distinct. The most obtrusive
of them, the speculative advance in cotton
and stocks, is the least reliable, nor can
either of these be said to reflect actual i'm
provement in business conditions. Rail-
road earnings are scarcely better, and the
speculation is based largely on the expect
alton of a more effective monopoly in coal
and some other products. London was
buying largely, but is likely to sell at any
rise.
More valuable indications are that the
volume of domestic business gains a little,
money is in much better legitimate demand
and the force of hands at work gradually
increases in some industries and in others
is restricted only by strikes, which are
presumably temporary.
The rise in wheat, which started with
the report of wheat in farmers hands, has
been followed by a reaction, so that prices
are lower than they were prior to that re-
port, having fallen 219 cents for the week.
Corn has not followed wheat, but, after a
rise of II cents, holds the price of a week
ago. Pork has declined Is cents per bar
rel and lard 10 cents per 100 pounds.
The rise in cotton has stimulated the
buying of goods and given confidence to
agents. Sales of wool gradually decrease
and for the week are smaller than last
year, Ala 800 pounds against 1888, 800.
The failures during the past week have
ben 278 in the United States against PA
last year and "a in Canada against 40 last
wear.

PLEURO-PNEUMONIA IN KANSAS
State Veterinarian Reports the
Dread Disease in the State.

Kansas City special: A dispatch to the
Journal from Topeka, Kan. says: Unless
the judgment of Prof. Mayo. veterinarian
at the state Agricultural College, is at
fault pleuro-pneumOnia has been located
in Kansas. The dread disease has. it is
said, made its appearance in Geary, Wa
baunscc and Morris Counties. For some
time past cattle in that part of the state
have been sick. The matter was called TO
the attention of Gov. Morrill, and the State
Sanitary Commission Under instructions
from the Governor Prof. Mayo made an in
y~eStigatiOn which included several post
mOrtem examinations, and has reported to
the Governor that in his judgement the
district was affected with typical pleuro-
pneumonia. Eight head of cattle so affect
ed, lie declared, had died and about 20J
have been exposed. \ rigid quarantine
was established against the affected por-
t onS OF the three counties named. and il is
the hope of the authorities that they may
stamp out the disease without ITS further
spread. Gov. Morrill, notified the author
tiles at Washington ot the state Of affairs
and asked that an expert be sent at once 10
verify Prof. Mayo'S diagnosis.

merchants in the surrounding towns and
at the agency have sold the Indians large
amounts on credit and these traders feel
probably more than the Indians do the
serious effects of the Governments failure
to fulfill the solemn promise to pay treat v

Report taat the Spanish Minister is
also Non Persona Grata,

st. Louis special: The Washington
correspondent of the Globe-Democra
says:
Unless Secretary Gresham's present
frame of mind changes there will be an
other minister recalled. 1t is the intention
of the Secretary TO convey al intimation
to the Spanish Government that Minister
Muruega is persona non grata. The mess
age will not be sent at present,
as it is desired to give Spain
time to make a definite reply to the
demand growing out of the ALBANIA af-
fair. But as soon as that is out of the way
Minister Muruaga will have to 90. His
extraordinary utterances are the cause of
this determination of the Secretary. 1t
will be remembered that the day after Mr..
Gresham sent his demand to Madrid Muir
uaga expressed his establishment and said
that he could only account for such action
on the ground that it was done by a sick
man who felt feverish.

ERE SCORE DEAD.
Sixty Men Perish in the Wyoming
Mine EXPLOSION.

Evanston, Wyo.. special: The total
number now known to have persisted in
the mine disaster at Red Canyon is sixty,
of which fifty-One were married anr nine
were young men and boys.
The timbering is largely blown out and
the walls and roof of the whole interior
are wrecked and shattered SO that the VOL
untcer searching party of eighteen now
seeking the bodies of their comrades are
every moment in danger of being buried.
The agoniZing screams of widows n
children about the mouth Of the mine beg
CARS description. The mules that were in
the mine are so burned that they had to
be removed on account Of the odor before
the work could proceed.
The horror occurred at No. 5 Central
Pacific Mine, Red Canyon, five miles north
of Evanston. The explosion in the mine
shocked the whole country around, wreck
ed the power plant, a fan house n
several other buildings, entailing heavy
loss, but the death roll far overshadows
other considerations.
A few lives were saved because of the
time of the explosion. The miners quit
work at E o'clock and it is customary for
them to be near the entrance and come out
just as the whistle blows. 4 number OF
men had come out and some had just left
the entrance to the mine slope, away from
the working tunnel, when the explosion
occurred, thus escaping death.
This is the third disastrous explosion in
this vicinity. In 1881 No. 2 mine, Rocky
Mountain, exploded killing thirty-siX
Chinese and four white men. In the
spring of 1885 Union Pacific Mine No4
killed thirty-six men.

TORTURED AN OLD COUPLE.
Diabolical Work OF Three Pennsyl-
vania Robbers.

Bradford, Pa, special: AT Palmer'S
Mills, a lonely spot on Marvin's Creek, an
aged couple were tortured and robbed by
masked men, the robbers securing over
5000. Mr.. and Mrs. Merritt Childs, who
are over 20 years old, were about to retire
when a knock came at the door. The old
lady answered the summons and was met
with a blow on the head which felled her
to the floor. The husband, who came to
her aid, was similarly treated and three
masked men entered the house. 1.-THE hus-
band and wife were then bound, after
which the robbers ransacked.:the premises,
finding $500. Mrs. ChildS refused to di-
vulge where the rest of the money wa
hidden and the fiends barred her feet and
pressed them against the red hot stove.
She stood the torture until her feet we're
terribly burned and then made known the
place where another 500 was hidden.
Both of the old people were put through
the torture again for the purpose of
eXtorting more money. All that
remained of the savings of the husband
and wife was go cents. This was secured
by the men. who then fed, leaving Mr..
and Mrs. Childs bound and gagged. Mrs.
Childs will probably die from the effects of
the shock and torture, but the old gentle
man will recover. Three suspects are be-
ing hunted by officers and the feeling
against them is very bitter.

FORFEITED RIGHT OF WAY.
Land in the City of Chamberlain to BE
Thrown Open.

Thrown OpcH.
In accordance with instructions from the
Secretary of the Interior the right OF way
and terminal grounds of the Chicago, MIL
waukee and St. Paul Railway Company
which were declared forfeited by a
proclamation of President Cleveland, IS
sued the 9th of last December, VIII be
thrown upon the market for settlement the
18th of April. The terminal grounds
especially are very valuable. OF these
forfeited grounds lSS acres lie within the
limits of Cham berlain, adjoining the man
street of the town on the north. This land
is coveted by many persons, and the sirug-
gle for its possession will be exceedingly
bitter and long drawn out. In 1880 the
land embraced in the 1SS-acrc tract was
opcn for homestead settlement by PreSl-
lent Arthur. but was afterward Withdrawn
by President Cleveland. The fact that the
land was declared forfeited for the reason
that the railroad company failed TO com
ply with any part of the conditions OF tine
grant is claimed by the original home
stcaderS to leave the land in precisely the
same condition as though it had never
been given to the railroad company. 1t
is principally upon this point that the or
ISll1dl llOIIleStcdutlS VIII H-ui W lNNoii
possession of the land.
TO further complicate matters a own
sity company has been organized and an
attempt will be made TO secure the 1885,
acre tract under the townsite laws as an
addition to Chamberlain. There are also
numerous claimants for the 640-acre tract
OF forfeited land lying west OF the Missouri
River, The town of Oacoma adjoins the
railroadland, and efforts will he made to
secure ii as al addition to Oacoma. The
claimants understand that the persons
who are the first to present their filings.
and have them accepted, will have de-
cidyd advantage over the others coyeting
the same land. and therefore standing
room next the doors of the land office will
be a, Il premium shortly before Q O'Clock
on ilr morning Of April Is.

LIKE AN EARTHQUAKE.
ShiplOad of Dynamite F;xp!odcs at
Salmouth, Germany.

Cologne special: A terrible explosion OF
dynamite took place at Salmouth, in the
district OF Dusseldorf. The cargo of the
ship Elizabeth, consisting Of 20,0J0 kilos of
dynamite, was being loaded when the eX-
plosion occurred, killing a number of
people and doing a terrible amount of dam
age. The exact number of persons killed
is not yet known. Another vessel which
was alongside the Elizabeth caught fire
and was burned. The force of the explo-
sion was felt for miles and was at first be-
quake. Several houses collapsed at Kee-
keen and other villages and windows were
shattered within a wide area at CleaveS,
five miles from the scene of the explosion.
Doors were torn off and window frames
were smashed. The bodies of five victims
of the explosion have already been re-
covered, and six persons believed to have
been killed are still missing.
The force of the explosion was so great
that three vessels at Lobith. the last Dutch
village on the Rhine, were sunk.
Two hundred and twenty tons of the eX-
plosive was taken in six boats from Lobith
to Salmouth last January, en- route to Ant
werp, whence it was to have been shipped
to Australia. Owing to the ice blockade
in the river, the dynamite was landed at
SalmOuth, where il was stored awaiting
the opening of navigation. In the mean
time the Elizabeth had been chartered to
take the dynamite forward and the cargo
was being loaded when Dart of il oXDlOdod.
The cause of the explosion is unknown, as
every person on board the Elizabeth was
killed.
