BRING IN THE STRANGERS

That They VIII Come Again.

Make the Town So Pleasant For Them
That They VIII Come Again.
1t is worth the price to make town
so attractive that outsiders will find
pleasure in visiting it. They bring mon
ey with them and spend it, and thus
the town is directly benefited. The Ce.
dar Rapids (Ia.) Gazette, discussing the
value of public parks as ameans of bring
ing strangers into town, says:
Cedar Rapids has parks, three of
them. One was designed for a breath
ing place when the community was a
village. 1t is now adapted as an addi-
tional means to beautify the high school
building and grounds, the Union depot
and the churches around the square. 1t
is good thing, and our people would
not part with it. When we get rich, ii
will be nice place for band concerts
and that sort of thing, but it will never
be of any use as place for plcnlcs, eX-
cursion gatherings and such like mat
ters of pleasure and hilarity.
But Cedar Rapids has Riverside park
and Bever park, while the street rail
way people have Midway park. None
of these is fitted up to attract visitors,
and hat is Just what is wanted. Our
own people need better parks than are
Afforded them.
\ railway official, after watching the
departure of the Cedar Rapids route 5
special for Davenport, bearing 1900
eXcursionists, remarked that the rail
ways might Just as well he bringing
that crowd in as taking it out and that
they would he if our parks were in a
proper condition to be advertised as at
fractions. He did not mean from this
that Cedar Rapids people would not
continue to please themselves by going
visiting, even if there were nothing but
parks in every direction.
What he did mean and what is true is
that if we had better parks the people OF
other cities and towns would take more
pleasure in coming here than they now
do when bent on a picnic and that the
actual profits to business would cover
the expense of the enterprise.

WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW.

Upward Movement of Prices Most
Pronounced for Years.
NEW YORK, Aug. 30.-Bradstreets
says: The general trade situation o
tinues to improve, and, aside from the
unnecessarily prolonged strike of the
soft coal miners, there is little in sight
to cloud the outlook. The feature Of the
week is the advance in price Of almost
all lx1ding staples, beginning with an
upward movement all along the line in
iron and steel. Lead, too, and soft coal
are higher, as is wheat, notwithstand'
ing one or two reactions. The stats
tical situation of wheat is the strongest
known since the United States became
q considerable exporter and it's price, as
we'll as that for bread, is likely to ma
terially exceed the present weeks adj
vances. Following that for wheat
prices are higher for flour, corn, oats
lard, potatoes, butter, eggs, beans
cheese, leaf tobacco, wool and livestock
Advances for leather, hides, lumber
and linseed oil are also reported.
Advances are being also asked fol
wooden goods at mills, but print cloths
petroleum and sugar are unchanged TO
the week, while pork is reported slight,
lower than a week ago. No sucl
general or pronounced upward move
ment of prices of nearly all leading
staples has been witnessed within
week for many years.

A Slight Blaze.

An alarm of fire was sounded in the eastern part of town on last Wednes- day about noon. The cause of alarm was a blaze on the premises of Carlos Mover, on River street. The citizens responded to the call and succeeded in confning the flames to the barn and other connecting outhouses. The ori- gin. of the fire is somewhat of mys- tery, as none of the family was at home at the time, but it is believed to have been communicated to the building from the smouldering ashes of 8 fire built in the yard some hours before, but WAS thought to have been extln- guished at the time. To add to the disorder, a number of cartridges which had been stored in a shed, began to explode as the fire grew hotter, causing a little nervousness among those work ing nearest to the building. Quite 8 high wind was blowing at the time, and it was almost a miracle that the resi- dence was not burned to the ground. The loss is about $500, with no insur- anpo

PARKER CAPTURED.
The Outlaw Is Now Lodged in
 Flagstaff Jail.

The following dispatch from Flag staff gives the details of the capture of Jim Parker, the escaped murderer and jaii breaker:
 FLAGSTAFF. May 27.--James Parker, the train robber and murderer who has led the officers a will O the wisp chase over the country for the past two weeks, has been caught mapping and he is now again safe in the clutches of the law and the country breathes easier.
 He is strongly guarded in the jai. here, and was captured yester ay morning by S. S. Pres ton and posse of ten Navajo Indians, about sixty miles north of Tuba City.
 The day previous to his capture he ate dinner at Preston's house. Preston is post trader and his station Is ninety five miles north of here. While at the station Parker had a brush with three cowboys, but made his escape.
 AS soon as the outlaw left, Preston dispatched 6 courier to Flags af with message to Sheriffs Ruffner and Cameron. of Parker's visit. Pres- ton immediately gathered together band of ten trusty Indians and took the lrail.
 Stsalthily the Indians followed Parker's trail They came up ,n his camp at night and sur rounding him awaited the dawn of day.
 The hunted man evidently felt secure from
 
 unaware of the presence of band of deter mined men. Nearer and nearer the posse gath cred around the sleeping man. each Indian on the alert, with fingers pressing the triggers of their Winchesters.
 When every man was in position one of the party fired Parker was awake and on his feet in an instant, with gun in hand He was dazed for 6 second, but when he looked around, from every point the muzzle of gun stared him in the face.
 Realizing that he was completely surrounded and the futility of further resistance ne threw down his weapon end held op his hands.
 "Pairchilds, is that you?' he called out
 Preston grufily replied that it wasn't and or dared Parker to advance, which he did, and the Indians securely bound him. He was placed on horse and guarded by the Indians was ta- ken towards Flagstaff. On the way, Preston and the posse met Sheriffs Cameron and Ruffner, who returned to Flagstaff with the prisoner, ar irving here a short while ago.
 When taken, Parker had Winchester, plenty of ammunition and two horses, which belong to parties living near Williams.
 He seemed to be considerably fatigued, and his long and rough trip has told upon him as well as upon the officers who followed him 30 closely.
 Preston, whose energy and bravery Parker's capture is due, will undoubtedly receive the re- ward.
 It is probable that Parker will remain in jail here until he is placed on trial.
