RUINED BY RAMBUSCH,
Whole Fortune of One of His Victims
Swept Away.

Whole Fortune of One of His Victims
Swept Away.
JUNEAU, Wis, Oct 2S-Since the
impressive and sad scenes attendant on
the friendless burial of the late banker,
w. 7. Rambusch, some interesting
facts have come out Us to his creditors
and others.
Out of the chaos i'll which Rambusch
left his affairs a semblance of order is
beginning to issue, though probably
there will never be an accurate esti-
mate made as the extent of his defalca-
tons. New crimes have come to light,
and transactions that have been thought
criminal have proved legitimate, and
people on the ground adhere to their
statement that Rambusch stole at least
$250,000.
George Hawkins of Watertown is
still listed as the heaviest loser and o
friend was yesterday authority for the
statement that he would suffer to the
extent of $4,000. 1t is said that Mr..
Hawkins property has all been wiped
out by Rambusch's thefts. He trusted
Rambnsch to limit which few bust
ness men would extend to any one, and
at every request from his loan agent
would send on money even if he had to
raise it on his property. Mr.. Haw-
kins has always been able to borrow
money at less interest than Rambush
offered him, which made the transac-
tions apparently profitable. Left with
ont resource, Mr.. Hawkins has ac-
cepted position as clerk in the Office
of a corporation at Watertown at a
compensation Of 81 day.

The secret of fhappiness is health. The
secret of wonan's attractiveness is health.
Health Is responsible for the ecstasy of q
lovers kiss-of husband $ love. Health
makes plump, smooth neck and shoulders
full cheeks, bright eyes, red lips, a
breath like flowers. Ill health brings
out the bones, deadens the eyes and skin,
whitens the lips, makes the breath un-
bearable. No woman likes to be hideous
no woman likes to see the love light
fade from her husbands eyes. No wo-
man need be unhealthy or unattractive.
III health In women is nine times in ten
directly traceable to some disease or dis
order OF the organs distinctly feminine.
These things are serious, but they can be
cured-sometimes quickly and easily
sometimes slowly, but always surely by
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.
This wonderful medicine is designed
for one single purpose, to make women
healthy in woman1y way. To stop the
burning, aching pain and debilitating
drains common to diseased womankind.
The almost miraculous help it gives is
best told by those who have used it. The
following letter is only one chosen at
random among thousands:

Official Tests OF the krag-Jorgensen Gun

FORr RILEY, Kan, June 22.-An off,
cial test of the new military rifle, the
krag-Jorgensen, was made on dead
bodies at this post yesterday under
the direction of DIR. j.. u. Griffith, of
Kansas City, member of the United
States association of military sur
geOns and chairman of the national
committee on testing new guns as
sisted by a dozen attending surgeons.
and photographers.
The object OF the test was to find
out the relative effects of the use of
the krag-Jorgensen gun. from a hui
manitarian point of view, as compared
with other rifles. This test has dem
cnStrated to the minds of those who
participated hat the Krag-Jorgensen
gun cannot be called a humane gun.
At a distance up to loo yards, the
explosive quality of the Krag-Jorgen-
sen bullets, and consequently the cru
city of its use is terrific. The explo-
sive quality is most marked in soft It's
ues and cavities, the brain and lung
tissues being terribly torn and the
heart burst. When the viscera are
grazed by a bullet they are much mu-
tilated. Blood vessels are cut, not.
torn, hence the death rate on the
field will be very great-four killed to.
n wounded, probably. Tendons are
are the only tissues in the body which
seem to be turned aside by the ball.
\ test of shrapnel shot, used by the
artillery, followed the Krag-Jorgensen
test. To do effective work the shell
should burst 80 Or 40 yards in front of
the object aimed at. Some very eff
fective wounds were obtained, and the
opinion strengthened hat the shrap-
n~el-throwing gun is the mankiller Of
the future.

puN'S COMMERCIAL REVIEW.

Continued Signs that q Gain In Business
Has Begun-wheat and Cotton in Better
Demand, While Stocks Have Gone High
err than They Were Before the Late Ar

/ ing, but Iron Dull.
New YORK. June COR G. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade to-
day says:
Failures for the week have been 276
in the United States, against DIS last
year. and IS in Canada, against 81 last
year.
There are continued signs that a
gain in business has begun. Stocks
have gone higher than they were be-
fore the artificial break ten days ago.
Wheat and cotton are in better de-
mand: there is more confidence in
monetary circles, and the tendency to-
ward shrinkage in great industries
seems in some cas- at least to be
checked.
While the outcome of the democratic
convention is uncertain and the great
crops are not yet wholly beyond dam
ger, a sure and strong improvement
could hardly be expected, but the ton
in business, circles has grown dis
tinctly MOI hopeful. clearinghouse
exchanges for the past week are 3.4
per cent. o than last years, and
only 80 per cent. less than in 1893.
The boot and shoe industry not only
holds its place as the most prosperous
of the great industries, but reports
some gain both in orders and prices.
Textile manufactures do not gain.
There is rather more hOpefulness
which is felt in the arrest of the de-
cline in wool; prices average no lower
than June ] and sales do not decrease.
Manufacturers await orders which
clothiers hope soon, but are not yet
ready to give, and the only changes in
prices are declines of five to ten per
cent. in some very low grade goods.
The only change in cottons is a
reduction in bleach shirtings in
standards to the lowest price ever
reached, though the change discloses
no new weakness, but d belief that
the time has come when sales can be
effected by reduction, and large sales
are now reported. Stocks of dealers
are bound to he SO low that replenish.
ment would now make a great change
il the condition of the industry.
The waiting in iron and steel brings
a slightly lower average of prices, the
lowest since April l, and only is per
cent. above the lowest Of the year.
though the combinations make no
change in quotations. Beams are
quoted delivered instead of at mill,
but numerous contracts are kept
back; consumption of wire nails at
current PRICES has SO declined that
American wire rods are offered at
competing prices in England; scarce
~ anything is done in iron bars.
because steel bars at IL cents
take the business and the billet pool is
