ENLIvENs TRADE.
Approach of Than ksgiving ana other
Holidays HELMS Business


New York, Nov. 20.-R. G.. Dun &
Co., in their weekly review of trade,
say:
"All markets and all industries are work
ing towards the period of Thanksgiving, of
stock taking and of holidays. Colder
weather has done much to accelerate retail
trade, so greatly delayed in many lines by
unusually mild and open weather. The
production increases on the whole, and
many manufacturers are unable to take all
the OFFERS, while others are committed as
Tar ahead as they are willing to go. The
output In several great industries is con-
siderably the largest ever known, and the
confidence of great business next year Is
undated. Hesitation in speculative mar
kets is In part because an immense cap
ital has been turned from them to invest
ment in productive industries.
Wheat has advanced a cent during the
week, ana small fluctuations have been due
to reports about Argentina rather than to
the heaviest exports ever known. Atlantic
exports, Hour included have been in three
weeks of November, 9.797,369 bushels.
against 6,052,1o6 last year, and in the crop
year thus far over $4,000, 900 bushels. Corn
exports have been 7.01O.O14 bushels. against
6,44l, 66S last year.
Failures for the week have been PCT in
the united States, against 1874 last year, and
81 in Canada against 40 last year"
Bradstreet's says:
There is a moderate Improvement in
staple prices and in distribution of wooden
goods shoes, hats and hardware in the
region tributary to Chicago, st. Louis, Kan
sas City and Omaha. In South Carolina,
Tennessee and Louisiana jobbers report a
moderate revival in demand from interior
merchants, which represents some Of the
business delayed by yellow fever quaran-
tines. Trade reports from Georgia and
Texas are quite irregular. Some cotton
planters are compelled to sell cotton at a
loss to meet advances made earlier in the
season, and have little or no surplus with
which to buy merchandise Others, notably
In Texas, contrive to hold cotton, which de-
lays mercantile collections and in some
sections has an unfavorable influence.
Colder weather northeast and in the central
Mississippi and Missouri river valleys have
helped retail trading. Manufacturers Of
iron, steel, agricultural implements, rail-
way cars and woolens report an active de-
mand and large output, although the ap-
pearance OF speculative steel has resulted
In weakening the price of billets and like
tendency on the part of Bessemer pig iron.
Higher prices are recorded for wheat,
corn, oats, sirup, hides, leather, shoes and
for turpentine. The reaction in iron and
steel is likely to be followed by an advance
II the present rate of consumption con-
tinues. Lower prices for wheat, flour and
pork are expected to recognize the advances
on wheat and Indian corn, so that 4 lower
price for copper is practically the only i'm
portant decline in the week"

BURNED HERSELF.
Horrible Means of Suicide Adopted
by an Iowa Woman.

Mrs. Joseph Sodoma died in Cedar
Rapids from the effect of burns caused
by her own hand. She saturated her
clothing with kerosene, went out into
the yard, lighted her garments and was
enveloped in seething flames from head
to foot. She faced death calmly and
gladly, preferring it to the troubles
which had pursued her through the
world, and which were still her portion.
Insanity may have been the cause OF
her rash act, yet when all of the partic-
ulars of her sad life are known, as they
are to the police, the act seems to have
been one of rational mind. Mrs. So
donna was married, was but "a years old
and was the mother of two children.
No one had ever a word to say
against her as a mother or as a wife,
Her parents had always been we'll to do,
but were opposed to her marriage with
Joseph Sodoma, and would have nothing
tc do with her after that unhappy event.
Before dying from her self-inflicted
burns she told those about her that her
domestic misfortunes prompted the act.

TRAGEDY IN TEXAS.
Judge Gerald and the Harris Brothers
Fight mt WacO-One Dead.


st. Louis, Nov. 2o.-A special to the
Republic from Waco, Tex, says: ].
w. Harris, editor of the Waco Times
Herald, morning paper, and w. A. Har-
ris, his brother, on one side and Judge
g. b. Gerald, a prominent citizen,
fought duel to the death on the street
Friday night at five o'clock. w. A.
Harris was shot dead, j. w. Harris
wounded fatally, his pedy being par
alyzed, and Gerald shot in the side and
may die. The trouble was the out
come of the mobbing of w. C. Brann,
publisher of the Iconoclast.
Gerald was ex-county judge and one
CT Waco's most prominent citizens. He
had written a bitter criticism on Bay
lor university with reference to the re-
cent mobbing of w. c. Brann and had
fled it with Editor Harris for publica-
ton. Afterwards. he asked to have his
manuscript returned and became in
censed at the editors delay in comply
ing. Bad feeling resulted and when
Judge Gerald was crossing the street
at the corner of Fourth and Austin
streets at five o'clock, Editor Harris
came out of a drug store and opened
fire upon him. Gerald Immediately
drew his revolver and returned the fire.
During the shooting w. A. Harris
came upon the scene and took hand in
the fusillade, shooting Gerald from be-
hind. Gerald pursued him into the drug
store, shooting as he ran. Harris fell
Ito the floor with the words: "You shot
me in the back" Gerald emptied the
remaining chambers in his weapon into
the PROSTATE form of his victim, killing
him on the spot. Gerald then left the
scene. A little colored boy who stood
near was shot in the leg by stray bull
let.
Editor Harris was carried into the
drug store by friends. His wife and
daughter were notified and were soon
at his side. The scene was pitiful, the
wife and daughter weeping. while the
husband and father lay PROSTATE, I'M
able to move a muscle of his body or
speak. His windpipe had been severed
by bullet which injured his spinal
column. He was removed to his home,
but cannot live. Judge Gerald was
wounded in the neck and side. While
serious, his wounds cannot be said to be
necessarily fatal. The excitement is
very great and public opinion seems to
be divided

MRS. LOGAN'S WARD.
Widow of Famous Soldier Made GUAR
dian for Miss Cisneros

u1an Tor Miss CtsnerOs.
Washington, Nov. 2O.-An order was
issued by the orphans court Friday
making Mrs. John a. Logan guardian
for Miss Evangelina Cossio Cisneros.
The proceedings in court were very
brief, but the senorita's appearance
created much interest. The application
for guardianship set out that Miss Cis-
neros has declared her intention to be-
come citizen of the United States, so
far as the law allows, and that she in
tends to enter an institution of learn
ing in this city and to hereafter re-
main resident of Washington. The
petition also cites the incarceration of
her father, Jose Augustin Cossio Ser
rano, and that there is no time fixed for
l.is release and that there is reason to
believe that it will be long time be-
fore he is liberated, if at all. The case
was before Judge Hagner, of the or
phans' court, and Mrs. Macias, whose
guest the young lady now is, acted as
her interpreter. The order was granted
on the petition of Miss Cisneros, who
is 10 years old, by her next friend, Karl
Decker.

YUKON PROJECTS PLANNED.
An Iowa Concern Prepares to Mine
and Trade in Alaska.


The Upper Yukon Development &
Trading company met in Des Moines
and elected the following officers and
directors: President, w. A. Purdy, Chi
cago; vice president, Steven w. Hoover,
Davenport; secretary and treasurer,
James j. Callahan. The board of di-
rectors includes the officers and w. f.
Purdy, of Chicago; H. w. Sommers, of
Davenport, and e. A. Davis, =, of Des
Moines. The company will operate in
connection with the Rock Island rail-
road. A prospecting party will leave
with dogs and sleds in February to
make the trip through Chilkat pass. A
large steamer has been chartered,
which is expected to leave San Francisco
in May with $50 passengers, and two
barges with capacity of 400 tons. The
company is backed with plenty of
money, and is probably one of the few
of the many similar companies that will
be pushed into completion. They will
establish trading post along the upper
part of the Stewart river, will deal in
claims, operate sawmill, and navigate
the small streams with a small vessel
they are having constructed.

different officers submitted their re-
ports, the most interesting of which
was that of the executive committee
showing $6,152.ss losses paid, $14,576.67

President Buchanan, in his address,
said:
While we have during the year written
over S12, 900, 900 of insurance, and that
amount of itself would make a large COM
pany, yet it is 81 800, 900 short of the BUSH
ness of 1896. We have, however made a net
gain of nearly &,50O,OO0 in risks, which a
comparison with other Iowa companies in
the last auditors report will show to be
very encouraging Our total insurance is
now over $4S.0 900. and with over $4,000 In
bank drawing interest and in the hands of
the treasurer, and owing no man a dollar,
we may justly claim that our standing has
never been better. And for this comfortable
state of affairs we give all credit to the
mutual men of Iowa who by their united
efforts have made such things possible.

GRAIN PESTS.

Farmers Bulletin No. 45. issued by the
| department of agriculture at Washington.
is devoted to insects injurious to stored
grain, and contains many facts of interest
and value to farmers who suffer largely
from the depredations of these pests. The
annual loss occasioned by weevils and other
grain destroying insects is very large. In
Texas alone it is more than a million dol
lars annually, and it is estimated that 30
per cent of the corn in that state is de-
stroyed every year by weevils and rats.
In eight Southern states the loss in corn is
over $20.0O0.O0O a year from insects, and
when other states are taken into account
the total damage reaches an enormous
sum.
Altogether there are more than forty spe-
cies of insects that prey upon stored grain.
In the bulletin just issued a number of
these pests are described and the principal
methods and remedies for combating them
concisely stated. In the United States the
principal damage is done by two sman
weevils, about one-sixth of an inch long,
and little grain moth. These insects pass
their preparatory stages within the kernels
of the grain, and in this way are the cause
of great injury to the seed, so that it often
fails to germinate when sown. The other
species are not so detrimental in this way,
but they frequently cause heavy losses to
flour and meal and other milling products,
as well as to the grain itself
The simplest remedy. and at the same
time the most effective and cheapest, is the
bisulphide of carbon, which is 4 colorless
liquid with a strong, disagreeable odor. 1t
rapidly evaporates at ordinary tempera-
lures, and is very infiammable and highly
poisonous. This liquid is applied directly
to the infested grain by spraying and pour
ing, but the bulletin recommends that the
grain be placed in moderately tight bins
and the liquid evaporated from shallow
pans or other receptables placed on the
surface of the grain. II is quite volatile,
and the fumes, being heavier than the at
mosphere, descend and permeate the grain,
killing all insects and other vermin that
may be present. Grain can be exposed TO
this treatment for thirty-six hours without
injury to its terminating power. One pound
of the bisulphide of carbon to 100 bushels
of grain has been found 10 be sufficient for
the purpose, even in open cribs.
Other measures, principally preventive,
are also recommended. If the methods
pointed out are followed by every grain
raiser, the result will be millions saved
each year. Every farmer should avail him
self of the useful and practical informa-
tion set forth in Bulletin No. 45
