DuN.s BUSINESS REVIEW
Waiting ID Still tho Rule In the Cen
erai Market

Waiting Il Still tho Rule In the Gen.
erai Market
NEW York. March i6.-R. G. Dun &
Co g weekly review of trade says:
Waiting is still the rule. Large
hope, but little actual business. ex-
plains the strength of some markets
and the weakness of others The
feeling that the spring of 1896 ought
to bring larger business will not suf-
fee to meet expenses all the season if
the larger business does not come.
1t is especially noteworthy that
prices of materials have varied quite
differently from prices of manufac-
tured products, although in most cases
the advance last fall was commenced
by extraordinary uplifting of prices
for materials. Thus, cotton is 27.9
per cent higher than a year ago, but
cotton goods average only 1917 per
cent. Wool is, about 5.3 per cent
higher than year ago, but wooden
goods are. on the whole, about per
cent lower. Pigiron is only Il per
cent higher than year ago, while
finished products of iron and steel
average IS per cent higher. These
comparisons are important because
they disclose something of the grave
dis!ocation of prices which inadequate
consumption and combina tions have
produced.

DISGRACE OR DEATH.
POSTMASTER MAPES TOOK
THE LATTER.
Was short $4,000 to $4,000 In Ac-
commits OF the Kansas City, Kan., Post
Office. and Blew His Brains Out

KANSAS CITY. Mo-, March 16.-Post-
master Frank Mapes of Kansas City,
Kan, one of the best known Demo
Gratis in the State of Kansas, commit
ted suicide by shooting himself at his
home, lis Washington avenue, yester-
day morning. The cause of his suicide
was the discovery of a shortage in his
accounts with the government.
The discovery had just been made
BIZ Inspectors Sutton and Reid of the
postoffice department at Washington.
Rather than face the charges of official
dishonesty Mr.. Mapes took his own
life The affair has created sensa-
ton in Kansas City, Kan, and in this
city The last time Mr.. Mapes was at
the postOffice was Friday night. The
inspectors arrived Thursday and began
the inspection ot his books They have
not vet completed the examination,
but have ascertained that the amount
of the shortage will be between S.. 600
and $4,000. Thursday and Friday
they found some discrepancies in the
book accounts of the Office. The post
master, SO the employees say. always
and would not allow anyone to handle
them. The shortage extends over
twelve months, the inspectors say,
and was covered up by false entries in
the books and in reports sent to the
department at Washington.
That Mr.. Mapcs had contemplated
suicide for time is proved. Nearly
two months ago he was in this city
drinking. when one of his friends
found him and chided him for his
bibnlous habits, telling him that he
would certainly make trouble for him
self with the government. He re-
piled promptly that he proposed to
have good time, and when trouble
came he would stopit all with pistol.
His friend paid little attention to the
words at the time.
He leaves a wife and three small
children. He WAS "a years of age and
had lived in Wyandottc county over
thirty years. He was 4 prominent
Mason, Knight Tcnplar and Sinner,
and also a member of the order of
Eills. He carried So. 800 life insurance.

office.
