DON'T Go TO Brazil.

an injurious effect upon trade. None

is made dearer by the financial condi-
ton of the country, salaries Undergo

ates in value. AS to outdoor labor, no
white American who exposes himself,
as he would be compelled to do, to the
suns burning rays, wet season, could
hope to escape the yellow fever.

expectation of natural products glar-
antees a permanent prosperity to this

In the rubber field, men without money

BRIBERY CHARGES IN MONTANA.
Grand Jury Report on the State Cap
itoI Commission.

Helena. Mont. April 2S.-During the
legislature a minority investigating COM
mittee report was submitted by Repre-
sentative Whiteside, saying that the capt.
tol building commission had been manip-
ulated by a few of the members, and that
contracts had been corruptly entered into.
The grand jury says that the report OF
Representative Whiteside was fully sub
stantiated, but adds that owing to the
death of State Architect Paulson, no in
dictments could be brought. The jury
had documentary evidence of crooked
ness which Mr.. Paulson explained to the
jury before he died. which could not be
used in a court of law unless he were
alive to explain it.
The report says that several contracts
were drawn up between the commission
ers and Architect Mann of the building,
and that the one he signed was purpose
ly altered and omissions made to give
him a great advantage, by which he has
now received warrants for $225O0 that he
was not entitled to.
The secretary of the commission.
George f. Marsh of Butte, is said by the
grand Jury to have kept an incorrect rec
ord of the proceedings in conformity with
the intention of the commissioners 10 de-
fraud the state. and not according to the
law prescribing his duties.
State Senator 4Flowerree, one of the
members of the commission, is eXonerated
| from completely in the scheme. The 9TH
er members were:( Governor Richards
DIR. c. X. Cole, W. NJ. Brickford and
/ General c. Lloyd. Referring to the last
legislature, which it was charged to in
vestigate, the jury says there is no doubt
that a great many "cinch' bills were in
troduced and much money was used tC
obtain and defeat legislation, but the
evidence at hand while convincing to th'
members. would not be available in suf
ficient force to insure convictions.

A short time ago the Blue Jay claim,

not the necessary knowledge for his

When the door opened to admit still
another applicant, and Joe looked up,
he almost shouted in his glee, for the
newcomer was the young woman of

The recognition was mutual, but
each strove to ignore the fact. and Joe

New York, April 26.-tSpccial.)-The cot ton market today was broad, active and higher. Liverpool seems determined to lead the advance, and under the influence of the big spot demand there and the Turk ish victory at Larissa cabled us this nlorn- ing, the decidedly encouraging news of rise of 4-64 in that market. The opening here was strong, August selling on the first call at 733 Crop accounts continue more encouraging and Liverpool and New Or leans both sent heavy selling orders of the late months These orders caused the mar ket to waver in the early trading. August declined to 730 but all the commission houses were ready buyers and the bear operators were glad to cover their lines. The market advanced gradually and closed steady at the top, with 736 bid for August. We think the demand for consumption will force still higher prices. Tomorrow being a legal holiday, the exchange will be closed for the day.
