CONFIDENCE INCREASED.
Tho Business Situation Helped by the
L-. VI Gold Imports.

e Gold imports.
New York. Sept. 5.-R. g. Dun & Co.,
in their weekly review Of trade, say:
There is a distinct increase Of conn.
dence, due largely to the continuing ana
heavy imports of gold which have put an
end to monetary anxiety, and also to poltt.
ical events which are closely watched.
While 1t does not yet start more mills and
factories than are closing for want Of work,
1t crops out in heavy speculative purchases
OF pig iron, wool and some other materials,
by experienced men who believe that re-
vival Of business Is not far off, and for the
first time in nearly two months slight
upward turn appears In prices Of manufac-
tured products. The same spirit appears IN
speculation.
Wheat had suddenly risen week ago,
but reacted with better crop news until
Thursday, when another advance came Of
one cent, making the net decline for the
week ~ cents. Westernreceipts continued
large, 5.2l5, 706 bushels for the week. against
1850. 104 last year, making the increase since
July l about 100000 or SO per cent. At
lantfc exports are also large, flour included
and since July !, 10, 073, 551 bushels, against
II, S15,645 last year, gain of SO per cent.
Gloomy stories find little support in sl111
returns. Corn has reached, at Chicago, t.
lowest point ever touched, 20 cents In 1861,
and has again broken all records here. de.
Cotton fell to 7.S7 cents. but with revival OF
confidence rose to $50, although the pros.
pect Is clearly more favorable than some
weeks ago.
After many weeks of decline, so that the
average of prices for iron and it's products
was the lowest since early last year, prices
have started up shade. Heavy specula.
tive purchases of Bessemer at the west and
OF southern iron here the latter mainly
by New Workers at Sc. 40 for No. 2, and $3.50
for grey forge, have so strengthened the
market that Bessemer at Pittsburgh COM
mands SLIPS and grey forge $780, The vari-
Gus associations have not reduced prices,
believing that it would not stimulate de-
mand at present, which is extremely mar
row and as yet shows no improvement.
'"The starting of some wooden mills which
nave been Idle and accommodating orders fol-
a short run is still balanced by the STOP
ping of others, and the volume of orders
does not increase. No gain as yet appears
| in demand or prices. But marked specu-
lative buying of wool shows belief that
prices will improve. Cotton goods are
vanced, and though sales are moderate
there are more buyers. indicating exhaus.
| ton OF dealers stocks.
1.-The volume of trade indicated by clear
ings was for the week 1917 per cent less
than last year. Exports of merchandise
| for the week were 40 per cent, and for the
past month 1853 per cent. larger than last
year, while imports were for the week 1s
smaller, and for the month Is per cent
! smaller than last year.
| Fa1lures have been for the week 234
| in the United States, against 1856 last year.
and 81 In Canada. against IS last year."

head and burned; Jack Mccormick, Of
Benton Harbor, legs broken and in
ternally injured.
Several others were injured, but none
OF them seriously. The opera house was
a large four-story brick structure. The
lire broke out shortly after midnight.
1t had gained much Roadway before
the alarm was given, and when the fire
men arrived the building was a mass
OF flames. The St. Joseph departments
were sent for and arrived soon after.
The fire continued to gain on them and
was spreading to other buildings when
the hook and ladder companies went
to the rear of the building, hoping to
be able to direct stream into the mass
OF flames from second-story window.
Hardly had they arrived there than the
wall, with mighty crash, came down
before them, burying Is men under the
red-hot bricks. Other portions OF the
wall were lettering, and the rescue of
the imprisoned fremen was deferred
for some time, as it was expected every
moment the remainder of the wall
would fall. Finally, some of the crowd
rushed into the mass to rescue the
shrieking and struggling men.
Frank Watson, of St. Joseph, was the
first man rescued, but he was dead, and
his body was a mass of broken bones
and mangled flesh. The search con-
tinued until five o'clock when the last
victim, Arthur Hill, was removed. They
were carried to offices and private
houses where doctors from both cities
were in waiting to render aid. Some of
them died en- route and others died while
their wounds were being cared for. The
dead were taken to the city hall, which
was turned into a temporary morgue

and papers in their pockets. AS the
bleeding lorms were carried through the
streets they were followed by thrcngs

LYNcHED AT GLENCOE, MINI.
Citizens Rise Up Against a Jury's Yer
dict.

dict.
Glencoe, Mimi, Sept. AT 20 min
utes after one o'clock Sunday morn-
ing Charles Cingmars and Dorman Mus
grove, murderers of Sheriff Rogers,
were hanged to the railroad bridge, less
than quarter of mile out of town.
One of the mer was hanged from the
north side of the bridge and the other
from the south side. The deed YVES
done by 100 citizens of Mcleod county,
who thus expressed their disapproval
of Saturdays verdict that Musgrove be
confined to the state prison for life H.
stead of being sent to the gallows. The
murder was one of the most coldblooded
in the annals of Minnesota.
Cingmars and Musgrove, two tramp
desperadoes. were travelling northward.
according to their own story, to the
wheat fields of North Dakota. A few
miles below Glencoe they accosted a
farmer, took possession of his team and
drove into town. On the way up they
beat him for trying to handle his own
team. The farmer reported them to
the officers at Glencoe and a warrant
was issued for the arrest of the men,
who by this time had disappeared
Sheriff Rogers took the papers himself
and started in pursuit of the desper-
ADDE'S. Just at dusk on the evening of
June 20 he overlook the two men five
miles south of Glencoe Riding up to
them he said: "Boys, want you to go
back to Glencoe with me- well. we
don't have to 60" said Musgrovc, AS he
brought<a Winchester rifle to his shoul-
der. Before Sheriff Rogers could say
another word the tramp began firing on
him and he fell down, his body pierced
with five bullets. Twenty-four hours
later the two fends were captured iva
posse of 500 men in a neigboring coun-
ty and taken to Glencoe. The Jail was
surrounded by several hundred men,
and lynching would have occurred but
for the prompt action of Gov. Clough,
who sent out company of militia from
St. Paul just as the hanging was about
to come off. The prisoners were imme-
diately taken to St. Paul and put in Jail
