Bismarok,s Advice to Farmers.

party of agrarians who called to pay their
respects to Prince Bismarck at Fried
ricksruhe the prince advised the agrarians
not to give their votes to any one desirous
of becoming public minister-not to
vote for any one whose wife wished TO
shine in Berlin society. From people of
this character come the burrs who stick
fast to ministerial posts. 1t is useless to
expect them to champion agricultural in
terests. Let us not, therefore, elect am
bilious persons" he said, but rather
those of our own flesh and blood. We
must stand shoulder to shoulder against
the drones who govern us, and who pro

JEALOUSY AND MURDER.
A Thirtoen-Year-Old Girl Killed by La
bOrer of Forty.

borer OF Forty.
HYANN1s, Mass, June 11.--Lizzie Cole
man, the 13.year-old daughter of William
Coleman, of Osterville, while on her way
to school, was shot and killed by Henry
Ledtke, q German, who next fired two
shots at a little brother of the girl, who
was with her Ledtke then shot himself
through the head and died instantly.
Jealousy on the part of the man, who
was 40 years old, towards the girl for as
sociating with lads of her own age is
thought to have prompted the deed.
Ledtke has been employed In this vicinity
for three years, and has always been on
friendly terms with Mr.. Coleman. The
German had shown o great liking for
Lizzie Coleman, but recently her mother
had noted signs of displeasure on his part
at some slight attentions shown the girl
by her boy schoolmates This became es-
peoially marked when not long ago,
Ledtke threatened to shoot a 13-year-old
boy living near the Colemans because he
had walked home from school with Lizzie.
At this not only Mrs. Coleman but her
husband and the girl herself became
alarmed, and it was decided that her
| brother Charlie should accompany her to
and from school. In pursuance of this
plan brother and sister were together yes
terday. They had reached point about
800 yards from the house when Ledtke
suddenly appeared and shot at the girl.
! The girl tried to shield herself by holding
her hands before her. The bullet passed
through both hands and inflicted flesh
wound in the face.
Charley bravely stepped between his
sister and Ledtke, which apparently so en-
ragged the latter that he fired twice almost
point blank at the boy, but neither shot
was effective, and the lad and his sister
started to run towards home together
Ledtke then rushed up behind the gir
and sent bullet into the back of he
head, killing her instantly. He then PLACED
the smoking muzzle against his own heat
and discharged the remaining bullet int
his brain, falling dead.

Horror in the Northwest.

Begina, \. W. T, Dec. 29.-The
house of William Thompson, farmer,
living twenty-five miles north of here,
was burned yesterday morning, the in
mates barely escaping in their night
clothes. Mrs. Thompson and two child
rem were badly burned one dying shortly
after being taken from the house
Placing his wife and the remaining child
IN a hen house, Thompson set out for a
neighbOr's, one mile and a quarter
away, having only some rags around his
feet and head, being otherwise nude,
although the thermometer was 300 below
zero. He reached within one hundred
yards of the neighbor's house, when he
fell exhausted and almost frozen stiff
Fortunately he was seen, and was
carried into the house and cared for
When assistance reached Mrs. ThOmp-
son and child the frost had added to the
torture of their burns, and it is doubtful
whether they can survive. Thompson
Is also in a critical condition.

The time allowed for the acceptance of
the new wage scale expired Saturday

The times are getting better, says the
proving most of the year past, not only
since election as has been pretended.
The indications are that the improve
ment will continue until commerce and
industry take better tone than they
now have.
The commercial failures for 1894 were
about IA, 600, with liabilities aggrega-
ting s167 100000. as compared with
Il, 242 failures and liabilities aggrega-
ting 1916, ,774, $50 in 1898. While the
failures are within few hundred as
many "a in 1898 the average liabilities
for each failure in 1891 was only SILL
400; in 1898 tine average liability was
S22, 700. or twice that of 1924. The
volume of business represented by clear~
inghouse exchanges last year was - per
cent larger than in 1898, and the earn
ings of all railroads reporting in Decem>
ber We're - per cent. greater than in
1898.
In the industries, as affecting labor,
the improvement is just as noticeable.
From a number of industries, which are
representative of all and indicative of
the conditions in all, Dun Il Co. obtain
this authentic information: Hands en-
ployed, 1898, I25, O99; 1894, 134. .672.
Wages paid, 1898, S3, $40, 72S: 1891 81
POI. .21O. Hours at work, 1898. o.
119. .599; 1894, 81, $50, ,S34. As com
pared with 1898. in 1894 total wage paw
ments increased 1858 per cent, Lumber
of hands incr ased S.53, the hours per
hand increased S.24 and wages per hand
increased 6.91. Dun Il Co, estimate
that there are now employed not less
than 100000 hands more than a year
ago, that the amount distributed in
wages has increased S162, ,OOO, 600 and
that the value of product is greater by
81, ,254, ,OOO,OO
This Is an excellent showing, all the
more so that 1t has been made without
the Influence of the recent election"
or any other circumstances except ma
tural recovery from the Republican pan
ic, aided by the certainty of no more
overestimation of industry by conces-
i slons to tariff beneticiaries.

SOMETIMES Wall street overreacbes
itself, and this appears to be the case as
to the syndicate of capitalists who took
the recent loan. 1t is supposed. in or
der to force another loan-for bond
issues are very profitable on Wall street
since December . there has been drawn
out of the treasury $4,000, 900 of the
gold obtained by the bond issue for $50
600, 900; but of this only about 50. .OOO.-
600 has been shipped abroad, and the
other S14 900, 600 has been simply called
back into the vaults of the banks.
Mark the result. By Withdrawing the
gold for which they have no use thev
threatened the market with another bond
issue, and with the prospect of an exces-
slve supply the price of bonds has de
cllned until the disbanded syndicate
finds itself loaded with a heavy holding
of bonds which its late members cannot
sell at profit. They are blaming Sec
retary Carlisle for the fall in bonds, but
the fact is the capitalists were caught in
their own trap, in their eagerness to re.
peat profitable bond operation they
spoiled the market for the bonds they
hold and lost the profit ON the transac.
ton already made. Instead of the sec.
retary, their own greed is to blame.
