The business failures of dis wear. ii i

The business failures of this year, it is
believed, when footed up, will exceed by
20 per cent the failures of last year.
Nearly all the trading class in the cities
are just hanging on by their eyebrows.
And this is the business "boom' the plu-
tocrat papers used to predict. They have
pretty much stopped prophecying, ex-
cept some of the belated ones who just
heard of the boom that has passed.

HEIRS WANTED TO A RICH ESTATE
Governor McConneIl's Wife May Get a
Slice OF the Fortune


Boise, July Ex-Governor Mcconnell has
received from a friend of the family an
interesting clipping from an Oregon pa
per. 1t Is as follows:
For a number of years the officials of
Philadelphia have been searching for
the lawful heirs to the large landed Ball
Brown estate in that city, which has been
exempt from taxes for hundred years,
as 1t was held in trust by a church Or
ganlzation. There have been from time
to time a number of claimants to the es-
tate. but as yet none have been able to
satisfactorily establish legal lineage as
the direct descendant from William Ball,
the original owner, who died in 1887 Dan
lei s. Nash OF this city who traded land
In Lane county for the property of c. Hall
in Oak Park, Is in receipt of letter from
u nephew, asking him to qualify as the
SON OF the direct heirs, Mrs Hannah
Nash, who was a cousin of John Brown
of Harpers Ferry, also a direct heir. 1t
Is believed that the lineage has been es-
tabllshed. Mr.. Nash is one of nine chill
dren and one-ninth of his mothers share
of this estate amounts to 100000. The
whereabouts of one of the direct heirs is
not known. 1t is Benjamin Brown, who
lived at North Yamhil in 1866, and in the
fall of that year went to California
Should these lines be read by anyone who
knows his whereabouts they can prob
ably secure a fat 'divvy' by putting him
onto the prospect he has of inheriting a
large fortune"
The interesting feature of the matter
develops in the fact that Benjamin Brown
was the father of Mrs. Mcconnell. His
share of the estate would be the same as
that going to the Nash family. AS he
had seven children. all still living, each
would be entitled to nearly $4,000.

CHOLERA IN JAPAN
Nearly Every Province Reports a
Heavy Death Rate.
THEY PERISH IN THE STREETS
Disease Brought Home by the Troops
Returning From the War in China
Plague Is Spreading.

San Francisco. July 25.-Cholera is
raging in Japan and nearly every prov
ince in the little empire reports heavy
death rate for the disease. The officers
and passengers OF the City of Pekin
tell tales of deaths from cholera in the
streets of cities where the steamer
called. From the outbreak of the dis
ease until the date the steamer sailed
from Yokohama 1883 deaths had been
reported.
The disease was brought to Japan by
the forces returning from the war in
China and Corea, and whenever "a regi-
ment was sent home and disbanded
cases OF cholera began to develop, and
the disease spread with such rapidity
that the physicians OF the district were
unable to keep 1t in check. In spite of
such precautions and the united efforts
of the quarantine officers the plague
has become so prevalent that all the
way from so to 100 deaths a day are re-
ported from 1t. and as many more are
said to occur that never reach the ears
Of the authorities.

| port, without clean bill of health. The

SAFE FOILED THEM
Ohio Train Robbers Unsuccessful
With Dynamite.
THEY MADE A BOLD ATTEMPT
Six Masked Men Boarded the Express
Car and Took All the Money
Within Reach.

Toledo, July 24.-The Lake Shore &
Michigan Southern train going west was
held up and robbed at Reese. a small
station 80 miles west of here at 12:40 a.
m. 1t had pulled into blind siding to
allow a special to pass when the train
was boarded by six masked men, who
at the point of revolvers compelled the
express messenger to unlock the safe
and deliver the money. The amount ta-
ken from the car is not known but it is
estimated BY the express officials here
at $4,000. Superintendent Blodgett and
Manager Coniff. who were il the city
at the time, left at once on a special
train for the scene of the robbery, noti-
flying the police officials at all adjacent
towns to be on the lookout for the rob-
bers.
When the train stopped four robbers
went to the express car and ordered
Messenger c. b. Nettleman of Buffalo
to open the door, Nettleman refused.
The robbers threatened to blow up the
car. Nettleman then came out. The
four men entered the car. They secur-
ed the contents of the local safe, which
contained considerable money. Since
the Kendallville robbery the express
company has supplied it's cars with dy-
Mantle proof safes and this safe stood
the test of four dynamite cartridges
fired by the robbers. Discouraged, they
jumped from the train and disappeared
James p. Stark, clerk in Superintend-
ent Johnson's office of the Lake Shore
road, was on the train at the time of
the robbery. He says: IT think it
must have been about 1 o'clock in the
morning when it happened. 1 was
sleeping in the smoking car at the time
and was awakened by hearing several
shots as the train came to a standstill.
The conductor said the train was being
held up. 1 did not go outside to investi-
gate, being satisfied from what l heard
that something was going on. Shortly
after hearing the shots, 1 heard four
explosions of dynamite and then all
was still and soon the train pulled out
for Stricken, where we arrived at 1:20
L went into the express car afterward
and then the messenger said he saw
only four men. The interior of the car
did not appear to be damaged, except
that the windows had been shot full of
holes. The only evidence about the
through safe was a small dent in the
! door. The robbers did not make an
attempt to get into the passenger coach
es. When the robbers left the car one
of them shook hands with the messen-
ger and apologized for putting him to
| so much trouble"

last Days Session of the Delegates to
the United States League.
Cleveland, Ohio. July 25.-Notwith-
standing the extreme heat and the al
Turing prospects of a lake trip the
delegates to the third annual conven-
ton Of the United States League of Lo-
cal Building and Loan Associations

over score of years clerk of the city
council, giving a narration of the con-
test of the Pennsylvania building as
sociations in the state legislature,
while Addison B. Burke, who has held
down an editorial tripod on the Phil
adelphia Ledger almost from time i'm
memorial, spoke learnedly on the es
sential principles of building societies.
The necessity of various reforms in
the conduct of these institutions were
clearly set forth by p. N. Endsley of
Minneapolis; w. l.. Finch of Cincinnati
spoke upon the relations of building
associations and the press; Alexander
Christie of New York discussed various
premium plans, and addresses were al
so delivered by e. P. w. Williams of
New Orleans and G.. M. Mattinger of
Omaha. This afternoon the convention
finally adjourned, and this evening and
tomorrow the delegates were the guests
of the local associations, and enjoyed
trips to Put-in-Bay.

Chancellor Richie is in favor Of dealing

that he stands alone in this view, the

German ritual fight, the new order
being composed of German speaking
members of the order who resent the
decision of the supreme lodge that the
ritual shall be printed only in the En-
glish language, and that the German
tongue shall be barred in the secret
