A Transplantcd Vendetta.

The little town of McGregor, about
seventy miles from Duluth. Mimi, on the
Northern Pacific road. was at @ o'clock
Friday morning the scene of shocking
and apparently unprovoked murder. The
victims are Benjamin Jenetta and his
wife, Marie. and the murderers are Ar
cangelo and Nicholas Cristilli brothers.
All are Italians. After doing the killing,
which was most brutal, the murderers
fled into the big woods, with which the
town is surrounded, and as they were
heavily armed and had sworn they would
never be taken alive, the townspeople,
who are nearly all Italians. did not dare
follow them. 1t is alleged by many of the
Italian residents of McGregor that the
trouble between the Cristillis and the
Jenettas began many years ago in Italy,
and that the brothers of the woman had
there stabbed the younger brother of the
Cristillis during a street quarrel

Still Business Indications Are Rather
More Favorable.

X. G.. Dun x Co.'S Weekly Review of
Trade says: Substantially all indications
Of the state of business are rather more
favorable. Farm products are little
higher, railroad earnings a shade better,
clearinghouse exchanges a small percent
age larger in comparison with February,
and most of the industries show n some
what better front. though their gain is
not large. The money markets continue
undisturbcd; the operations of the syndi-
cate still prevent exports Of gold, and
Withdrawals from the treasury have of
late practically ceased. There is not
much enthusiasm about the situation.
however because the gain is slow and
business is long way from what is con-
sidered only prosperous condition. Fur
Their, the gain is in some cases due to OBJ
viousy temporary causes and TO some
causes which do not make prosperity.

from Rome says: 1.-THE newspapers here
are very bitter against the United States
in consequence of the lynching of the
Italians at Walsenburg. They denounce
the murders as a remnant of barbarism
and demand that energetic measures shall
be taken in the affair. 1t is stated, how

been until now satisfied with the attitude

LYNCH A WOMAN.
Mrs. w. T.. HOitOn the Victim of Bar
barOus Crime in Nebraska.

Some time Friday Mrs. w. Il. Holton,
respectable woman living alone on a
ranch in an isolated part of Keyapaha
County, Nebraska, was lynched. The
crime is credited 10 the vigilantes of the
district, who believed her in leagne with
cattle rustlers. Some think the rustlers
committed the crime in revenge for evil
dence against them furnished by the
woman. The coroner found $50 on the
woman's person, which is regarded as
certain evidence the crime was not COM
mittcd by tramps, as was at first sup
posed Her struggle for life had been Il
hard one. The bedding and clothing of
the woman were torn and scattered about
the building. Her shoes had evidently
been removed. probably by herself, pre-
paratory to going to bed when surprised

IDENTITY been assaulted before she was
hanged and everything points to Il pre-
meditated plan for the preparation of the
dastardly deed.

Question for Financicrs.

Treasury officials are watching with in.
terest, not entirely free from uneasiness,
the developments in the money markets
of the world in anticipation of a big Chin
csc loan TO pay off the Japanese war in
demnity of anywhere from $250,000, 900
10 S5OO,OOO,OO0 in gold or silver Wall
street advices indicate fear lest the ac-
emulation of any such amount of pre-
cious metal TO meet the oriental require
ments may cause another run on the Unit
ed States treasury gold which not even
the powerful Morgan Belmont syndicate
can prevent. 1t is unpleasantly called TO
mind in the most public and suggestive
manner possible that the treasury gold is
the most accessible Of any large hoard in
the world, and therefore the most liable
to I've drawn from TO supply any unusual
requirement. 1t does not appear that
there is any real cause for uncasness as
yet, but in the present weakened and nerv-
Gus state of the international financial
situation any rumor or suggestion having
the least plausibility becomes a distinctly
disturbing factor. To come right down
TO realities, il is not certain that China
will have TO go TO the European money
lenders for an accommodation and solic-
tude of these people is trifie premature
under the circumstances. The French
raised 81, 100000, 600 to pay off the Ger
man war indemnity and incidental ex-
penses without going outside for n dollar.
Japan had no trouble in raising 5000. 000.-
600 to conduct the fight against China
and has seemingly not yet reached the
bottom of her pocket. China, with finan-
cial resources infinitely greater than
France or Japan. may conclude to lift

The Armenians who feed or shelter them
are imprisoned and beaten. The testi-
