having been driven crazy, some of the

rush against and into buildings and it
is estimated there are $50 dead horses
on the streets, victims of the terrible

western Railroads Shown to BE in q
Pool.
Chicago, Aug. S.-A railroad pool of
gigantic proportions was uncovered be-
fore the interstate commerce commits
sion Friday morning, when President
A. b. Stickley, of the Chicago Great
Western railroad, testified that strenu-
Gus efforts had been made by Compel
ing companies to coerce him into liv-
ing up to what is known as the Union
League club agreement.
This makes it incumbent upon all
western roads touching the same points
to equalize the amount of freight Of
fered for transportation, so that one
road will do as much business as the
other.
Mr.. Stickney further showed that the
western roads had compelled the farm
ers to pay rate of 13 cents on 200-mile
haul, end then had carried the same
grain twice as far for the dealers at Il
s;x-cent rate. II tell you," continued
Mr.. Stickney, "it is this sort of thing
which is making anarchists of the west
ern farmers!"

FUSION IN KANSAS.
Populists and Democrats Will Vote
Together.


Together.
Abilene, Kan, Aug. THE populist
state convention was opened Thursday
morning by the committee on resolu-
lions which submitted platform in
dorsing the national populist code of
principles, arraigning the republican
state administration, demanding the
enactment of maximum freight rate
bill by the next Legislature.
Judge F. DOster, of Marion county,
was nominated for chief justice on the
first ballot.
AT the afternoon session the confer
ence committees report favoring the
nomination Of the presidential electors
named by the democratic convention
at Hutchinson Tuesday, was adopted,
after vigorous opposition by the "mid.
die of the road" faction. In the fight
for the nomination for congressman at
large, the free-silver republicans urged
the nomination of Ed c. Little, of Abb
lene, one of their number. Pitted
against him was Rev. j. L. Bodkin,
Methodist preacher and lately member
of the prohibition party. Bodkin was
nominated by vote of 1923 to 242.
A great deal of enthusiasm was.
aroused by the receipt of message
from Hutchinson announcing that the
democrats there had already nominated
Leedy for governor, Doster for chief
justice, Botkin for congressman at
large and Harvey for lieutenant govern
or, and that more were wanted.
Hutchinson, Kan, Aug. THE DEM
ocratic state convention spent the en-
tire day in waiting for the action of the
populist convention at Abilene. At7:30
p. m. the conference committee which
went to Abilene to confer with the
populists reported to the convention
through its chairman, j. G. johnson.
The report of the committee was adopt
ed without a dissenting vote, the DEM
ocrats indorsing the populist state
ticket and the populists indorsing Bry-
an and Sewall electors. The populist
state ticket, so far as received, was in.
dorsed by the convention. The candi-
dates of the Abilene convention are not
altogether satisfactory to the demo-
Gratis, especially Botkin, for congress
man at large, and Doster, for chief jus.
tice, but they were Endorsed in the ins
terest of the union Of the silver forces.

TRADE REVIEW.
Dun's Report Shows Conditions Not the
Most Favorable.

Dun's Report Shows Conditions Not the
Most Favorable.
New York, Aug. s.-R. G. Dun G. Co.,
In their weekly review of trade, say:
1.-THE sensational collapse Of spectators
at Chicago who controlled Diamond match
and New York biscuit stocks and had
hoisted them to fancy figures, with the
consequent closing of the Chicago stock
exchange for period yet indefinite, though
followed by remarkably few failures,
brings sudden change in monetary con-
dtttons throughout the country. At least
@ month earlier than had been expected,
Chicago has drawn heavily upon its bank
balances here, and Withdrawals Of all
other western funds may naturally re-
suit. Europe was also moved to sell Amer
lean stocks rather freely, SO that the aver
age Of so most active railroad stocks fell
about $2.18 per share and the average Of
trust stocks about s1.S8.
1T is important that the increase Of mer-
chandise exports SS00,000, or u per cent,
over last year for the week and the de-
crease of imports 100000, or IL per cent,
still continues to limit the sum payable
abroad.
Labor is more disturbed than usual.
The great strike Of garment workers here
has much extended; the strike at Cleve-
land has broken out again and involves
several otner branches of labor; the iron
furnace men of the Shenango valley resist
though Mahoning valley workers do not;
the iron works throughout the country are
striving to cut down cost in order to keep
In operation; the iron mines Of the Gogebic
range are stopping; the suspension Of cot
ton mills has become more general, and
over 100000 spindles are said to be idle at
Fall River alone and probably three-eighths
or more of the entire producing capacity
in the country; the rubber works are most
ly stopped, and, notwithstanding the light
weight opening, number of wooden mills.
Evidently the working force and also wages
have been reduced.
1.-The iron markets grow less democrat
ICED in Tone because all the associations
decided to maintain prices for this month,
but the markets are not stronger in volume
of orders or purchase. Pressure to sell,
even at concessions is the prevailing rule
and prices are almost nominal.
Failures in July, classified by branches Of
business, show larger liabilities in the lum-
Der than in any other manufacturing class,
and for seven months double the liabilities
in the next largest class, while in trading
the dry goods liabilities lead. Failures for
the week have been 240 in the United States.
