 Numerous letters have also been re- ceived from farmers in Minnesota and other states in the northwest, who desire to move here and go into truck farming. Several parties in various lines in the mercantile business desire to move here and go into the wholesale and retail busi- ness.

 The situation in iron and steel at the end of February is in some respects sim liar to that of a year ago-increasing stocks of pig iron. an unsatisfactory vol ume of business in raw and finished ma terials, with mill capacity only partly employed, collections difficult, commer- cials loans restricted and a general b. sence of data on which to base an esti- mate of the future.

BODY OF A DEAD FREAK.

He was the only Joseph Broheen.
 The body of Joseph Broheen, the freak known as the Wild Man of Mexico" who, as stated in a special to the State Herald from Uniontown yesterday, was killed by negro whom he had terribly was brought to this city last night and turned over to Miller & Co.,, the undertakers, for the purpose of being embalmed.
 Broheen was being exhibited through out the country by E. k. Coyle. Mr. Coyle had the body in charge.
 According to Coyle's statement Bro- heen was born wild and was captured when about 10 years old by Indians. He was of Mexican parentage and about 45 years old. His left ear is 22 inches long, and resembles that of an elephant; he has four well-developed cheeks, three chins and five perfect tongues. He had traYeled nearly all over the world, and while he never attended school spoke nine different languages fluently.
 MT. Coyle says that he has no other purpose in having the body embalr-as. than that he had travelled with Broheen for seven years, that they were like brothers, and as he had no relatives he did not want to risk the remains to the body snatchers The freak will be quite an addition to Miller & Co.'S already ex- tensive batch of mummies.
