INDUSTRIAL NEWS.
The Country Once More on the Road TO
Prosperity.

Another week Of Industrial, financial and
commercial Improvement has gone into
history. Fine weather, good crop prospects
and general removed activity In oil lines has
given new life to hopeful expectancy for the
future and long advance stride has been
made From far and near come reports OF
increasing business improvement and cond-
tions generally show signs OF continual and
fapid upward movement. Traces of the
passing gloom still lnger as the clouds slowly
rise, but the new era has been inaugurated
and the country is upon the threshold of
prosperity.
Railroad earnings continue TO show q
marked improvement, freight traffic during
the past ten days having increased at sur
prising rate, indicating that there Is lively
movement in all directions Orders and in
quiries are reported more frequent than at
any time for more than year, and the de-
mand for labor In many parts OF the country
fully equals and sometimes exceeds the sup
ply. The settlement OF the coal miners
troubles in Ohio will do much toward better
ing the local conditions, 1t being estimated
that within short time several thousand
dollars n day will be distributed among men
who have for several months not earned suf-
ncient money TO support their families, Thus
will vast amount OF money be put IN circua-
tion which will find its way into oil the chan
nels of trade.

Gospel Wagons to Invade Every City in
the Land.

0ospel wagons TO Invade Every City In
the Land.
new missionary movement, consisting OF
q gospel Wagon, or a vehicle containing
number OF religious speakers and singers,
who move about the neglected streets and by.
ways Of the cities, has been inaugurated in
Pittsburg.
The movement In Pittsburg IS part OF one
designed 10 include all the cities OF the Unit.
cd States. The novel crusade against sin is
new, and its promoters intend to make 1t ma
tional.
The crusade will be directed from Wash.
ington, ID. c. The plan followed will be
that OF the Central Union Mission, which has
done vast amount OF good In the past ten
years. The Gospel wagon, which Will be on
the streets every Sunday. weather permitting
Is a part OF this work.
The Central mission in Washington was
organized about twelve years ago. 1t rented
humble quarters at $50 Il month, and now
owns the old government post-ofiice at
seventh street and Pennsylvania avenue,
having bought 1t for S65, 900, and to-day It is
worth 100000. Maj George A. Hilton. is
president Of the organization, which has
changed its name to the National Mission
union. Branches have been established at
Alexandria, Va, and Baltimore. The Lib
erty Street Mission is the only other one now
In the union.
The Washington mission has been success
ful In caring for poor people and the very
tough characters who never attend church.
The gospel wagons have done great work
In this respect and 1t is the intention to fol-
low out the line Of work 30 successful In
Washington. IL q man hns no work, he is
put to work saving wood until something
else can be found for him. Women taken
from the street are given sewing and other
work until home Is found for them. The
Pittsburgh branch OF the mission will follow
the same methods.
The project 10 vast one and Will attract
attention all over the country. The old mis-.
sions In various cities will be asked to enter
the fold, and In some places new missions
will be started. They will work together
something like the Young Mems Christian
Association.

ceived for Blowing UP Four People.

lowing story;

phe, Nelson Miller made the proposition to

some wires and dynamite near Yatesville

the job. The next day Nelson and Jim Mil
ler Frank Shaier and the two women dressed

jim Miller fixed the wires and dynamite aud
Shafer worked the battery. The shanty

secured 800. Shafer says he only got $40
for his share, while Jordan and Bird received
sc each to keep mum.
Shaier also said he blew up the Huns to
get them out OF the country. lie thought they
were no good and ought to be blown out. The
prisoners were taken before Alderman

WHISKY TRUST SLAIN.
Illinois Supreme Court Holds it to be an
Illegal Monopoly.

Illegal Monopoly.
The supreme court OF Illinois filed its
opinion in the case of the people vs. the
Distillng and Cattle Feeding Company. The
judgment OF custer entered by the lower
court is affirmed. The effect OF this
decision will DO 10 break up the Whisky
trust.
In the course OF the opinion the court
says; "No one who intelligently considers
the scheme OF this trust, as detailed in the in
formation. can for moment doubt that IL
was designed TO be and was in fact a comb.
nation in restraint OF trade, aud that is was
organized for the purpose of getting control
OF the manufacture and sale of all distil-
lery products so AS to stille competition and
TO be able to dictate the amount manufacture
ed and the prices at which the same should
be sold, and that it's effect is TO create, or
tend to create virtual monopoly in the man
uiacture in the sale OF products OF that char
acter
mo rational purpose for such an organi-
cation can be shown consistent with an in
tention to allow the business to run in its
normal channels, to give competition its
Legitimate operation, and to allow both pro-
duction an .fbrices TO be controlled by the
natural influence OF supply and demand, and
the results as shown by the information were
such us might be anticipated. The trust OBJ
tained possession OF nearly all the distilleries
and nearly all the distillery prod ucts OF the
United States, thus enabling 1t TO dictate
prices and the amount OF production aud thus
10 draw itself substantii ~ the control of the
distiliery business OF the country"
