Bradstreet's Review.

New YORK: Bradstreet's says: There
is somewhat better feeling among
wholesale merchants as to prospects for
autumn trade in seasonable goods. This
extends to some industrial lines, notably
iron and steel. Chicago sales of iron this
week are larger tnan for all OF August
and Pittsburg sales are larger and prices
better on the outlook for harmony among
steel makers. The most notable increase
Of sales of seasonable goods has been at
Chicago, mostly among. dry goods and
hardware jobbers. st. Louis also reports
a moderate gain in demand as does ST.
Paul. Baltimore wholesale trade is
checked by restricted bank credits, but is
still larger than one year ago.
The more encouraging nature as to the
movement of prices lies in advance of
quotations for wheat on the stronger sta
tistical position and free export move
ment, higher prices for iron and steel at
Plttsburg and Chicago with gain in de-
mand and further appreciation in QUO
tatiOnS for cotton on renewed reports OF
damage to the crop. Petroleum and
leather are also higher. On the other
hand there has been no general increase
in industrial production, the output as a
whole being smaller than previously dur
ing the YEAR

HER LOVER ACCUSED
an OHIO GIRL KILLED AND
THROWN IN THE RIVER.
At First Supposed TO Be Suicide,
but Upon the Body Being Exhumed
a Bullet Was Found to Have En-
tered the Right Ear.
Ohio Murder Mystery.

DAYTON, Ohio: On August q Bessie
Little, boarder with Mrs. Freese on
South Jefferson Street, this city, disap-
peared at o'clock in the evening. She
told Mrs. Freese she had an engagement
to ride with Albert j. Frantz, her alleged
lover. On Thursday, Sept. 8, Bessie's
dead body, bloated almost beyon recog-
milton, was found in Saltwater River,
near the bridge just north of Day ton. The
coroner supposed it a case of simple
drowning-perhaps a suicide. Bessie s
known delicate condition suggested sui
eide. Public sentiment demanded closer
investigation. The body was exhumed
and re-eXamined- A bullet that had
entered the right ear was found lodged in
the brain. This was the first revelation
of murder. Frantz was then arrested.
He says Bessie was not with him. No
body has been found that saw Frantz and
Bessie together on that Thursday night.
On the following night Frantz's stable
burned and his buggy, with its evidence,
if it contained any,, was destroyed.

To Be Open to the World.

SHANGHAI: Reports are in circulation
in the circles of highest authority to the
effect that the Chinese Empire will short
ly be thrown open to free trade with the
rest of the world. When Lii Hung Chang
was in England one of his staff said the
main object of his tour was to sound the
European governments regarding an in
crease of China's tariff. He added that he
understood Russia, Germany and France
were favorable to the increase, but the
British premier brought forward several
important counter propositions.
1t is now certain that China is inclined
to concede these conditions; that as a
preliminary tariff be increased, all transit
dues in the interior of China be abolished
and later free trade established through
out the empire. A preliminary increase
in the tariff is made necessary in order to
secure necessary loans

Old Flesh Reducers.

l wonder what fat people did twenty
years ago? So far as l can reuem-
ber apart from the heroic measures
recommended by Mr.. Banting, there
was but one remedy generally indors-
ed, and that was the extract of sea-
weed, preparation which would have
been excellent had it not in reducing
the flesh reduced strength as well. 1t
left you thin and lifeless. A little later
the water of German spas were in
vogue. Fat people who were rich went
to Carload and Marienbad. then came
back poorer, thinner, wiser and weak
sr, too. For they also debilitate. Sub
sequently, Bismarck announced that
he has lost a roe-buck's weight through
the simple process OF drinking nothing
at his meals. But sauce for the goose
Is not always sauce for the gander. Fat
men all over the world tried the rene
dy, and fattened ON it. The less they
drank the fatter they grew. Nova
days there are hundred nostrums, but
/ take it that, barring hereditary pre-
disposition, for which there is no rem
edy, the one cure is exercise and alb "a
stention from certain foods. The ques-
ton is what form of exercise is the
best. A scientist to whom l recently
submitted that query recommended
swimming on the back or, rather, swim
ming with your back to the fiOOr-with
a dumb-bell attached to each foot.
There is nothing. he assured me, which
will at once reduce and strengthen as
quickly as that. 1t eliminates every
ounce of fat and hardens every shred
and sinew. If you happen to be fat
man, try it-Co1lier's Weekly.

BURN CHILDREN TO DEATH.
Murderers Saturate Bedroom With
Kerosene and Apply the Match.

OF all the horrible and villianous crimes
ever committed in Northwestern n Nebras-
ka, the one which resulted in the death of
two children of Assistant Postmaster w.
A. Danley at Chadron, clearly takes the
lead. About o'clock Thursday morning
fire alarm was turned in and the blaze
was discovered to be the dwelling of Mr..
Danley. Before the arrival of the appa-
ratus Danley, his wife and a young baby
had been removed from the house, the
first two unconscious and the baby dead
1t was shortly learned that the 4-year- Id
girl was also in the house, and chief L. A .
Dorrington crawled all over the house on
his hands and knees, finally finding the
little girl in her bed. She was dead.
Some unknown party had thrown kero-
sene over the entire room, and set fire to
it. The entire family sleep in this room,
and the blaze and smoke came so sud-
denly that they were nearly suffocated.
Appearances would indicate that the fiend
had thrown oil through the east window
OF the bedroom, completely saturating he
bed where the older child lay, and sprlnk-
ling the carpet underneath and around
the bed containing Mr.. Danley, wife and
the young baby. The ctizeus are much
excited over the affair, and all kinds of
theories are being eXpounded regarding
it, the most logical being that the guilty
party made mistake in the house and
was after some one else.
A common tin sprinkler was discovered
in the house, which had lately contained
kerosene. The coroner'S inquest is liable
to produce sensation of no small pro-

lynching at Homestead. -Four negroes
broke into the residence of VIM. Marsh,
a prominent picture'deal of Homestead, :,
for the purpose of robbery and probably
a more henious crime. They entered the
sleeping apartments Of Mr.. Marsh's three
daughters and upon discovery one Of the
negroes tried to strangle Miss Annie
Marsh. The father being aroused, came
to the rescue and the negroes fed. One
of them, Isaac Mills, jumped from the
second story window and was SO badly
hurt he will probably die. The others
were arrested soon after and placed in the
lookup. The feeling against the negroes
was intense and a crowd of about 300 had
planned to lynch them, but the police Off
cials smuggled them out of town and
lodged them safely in jail in this city.
