 Anatomical Wonder.

A MILD WINTER.

Thermometer Record as Compared
 With Last Year--Rivers Open.
 Up to the present time, the thermom- eter record shows that the present win ter has been mild and open as com pared with that of a year ago, and for that matter with every winter season since the memorable one of 1Ss9-90.
 The Connecticut river has been at no time this winter so filled with heavy ice as to seriously interfere with navi- gation; and the big boats could easily have maintained channel from the Sound to Hartford at all times. The river is at this date open to salt water, with no ice other than freeze along the banks in few places. The Hud- son river also is open, and the Thames is clear from the Sound to Norwich.
 There has been only one zero morn- ing thus far this month Following is comparison of the readings of the Times thermometer at sunrise in Jan uary of last year and during the pres ent month:

New California Tourist Arrangement.


 The Great Rock Island route will hereafter conduct it's tourist excursion business under it's direct supervision. All the good features of the old system will be retained and additional advan- tages will be added.
 The Rock Island personally conducted Tourist Car excursions to California have always proved their right to be called the best by carrying the most people, and exceptional inducements now offered will maintains the high standing they have reached. Choice of two routes is given. Excursion via Fl Paso and the popular Southern route to Los Angeles and San Francisco leaves Boston every Monday. Excursion via Colorado and the Scenic route to San Francisco and Los Angeles leaves Bos- ton every Wednesday.
 A cardinal advantage of the latter route is the opportunity afforded for a lay over at Colorado Springs for suffi- cient time to visit the famous natural wonders at Manitou without delaying the journey.
 This tourist car system can offer advantages enjoyed by no other route, for proof of which address I. L. Loomis, N. E. P. A, 290 Washington street, Bos- ton, Mass.

THE RAPPAPoRr BENEFlr.

The sale of seats for the Rappaport concert has been extremely large. This was naturally to be expected, because with the exception of the Gounod socie- ty concerts there is seldom an opportu- nity to hear such artists here. The four special soloists are all people of ex- cellent metropolitan reputations and the opportunity to hear them is sure to be appreciated. The local soloists are all admirable musicians and the per- formance of the Jadassohn sextet will be great pleasure.

COMMERCIAL REPORT.
Unprecedented Activity in Iron and steel
Trade Depressing Influence Manifested
In Cereals uaInsss Failures.
New YoRK, March Bradstreet'

New York, March 90.-Bradstreet's
commercial report says;
The favorable features OF the week In dis
tributive tradp have been the reports coming,
with few exceptions, from oil parts OF the west
and northwest and marred only by the check TO
business and shipments caused by heavy rains
and high water In the Ohio valley The unset
tied condition OF our relations with Spain Is
credited with exercising some effect upon Inn
mediate demands and upon future undertake
ings in the eastern portion OF the country. But
the two industries, cotton and wooden,
most complaining are those In which
conditions other than foreign compli-
cations have for some time past
been working toward depression. The coarse
cotton goods situation does not improve In any
way, and declines In print cloths to still
lower record quotation, rendering increasingly
imminent action by manufacturers toward cur
falling production In this line. While some
wooden goods mills have already booked good
ORDERS the business done as u whole has not
been up TO anticipatlons Raw wool however,
does not reflect the rather unsatisfactory con-
ditions In the manufactured product In lower
quotations
The condition Of the iron and steel trade Is
one which exctes satisfaction and almost SUR
prise, From u number OF widely separated
sections the report comes Of Unprecedented nc-
tivity In nearly all branches OF the trade Pig
iron is higher ut several markets, and efforts
toward hurmonIzlng producing elements in
crude and manufactured products nre being as
siduously pushed. Modern steel plants are re-
ported rushed with orders and consumers de-
mands more than keep up with the deliveries
Western steel men are reported buying billets
In the east, while eastern shipbuilders are buy
Ing steel plates In the west
The passing OF the cold wave with little or
no reported damage TO the growing winter
wheat, coupled with the general forward con-
dillon OF agricultural matters and the antlci-
pated acreage In spring wheat, is credited with
much OF the depressing influence manifested

ANOTHER BOLD RAID.
Saloon, Secure the Cash and Fatally
Wound Drew Maunder.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, March %. One of
the most daring holdups that has oc.
Cured in Kansas City in years was COM
mitted last night at ten o'clock, when
four masked men entered Burke's sa-
loon, corner of independence and Lydia
avenues, and helped themselves to the
cash behind the bar, while seven men
sat in the saloon and is men were in
the bowling alley adjoining the sa-
loon. The thieves secured $35. Drew
Maunder, a butcher, living at 1917 In
dependence avenue, was sitting in the
saloon when the robbers entered
When the crowd was ordered to throw
up its hands, Maunder complied with as
much haste as possible, but was per-
haps fatally shot because he sat near
est the back door and had chance to
escape and give the alarm before the
robbers secured their booty.

NEBRASKA PRAIRIE FIRE.
Dozens of Families Near O'NeIl Forced to
Leave Their Homes and Seer
Safety In Flight.

O'NEILL, Neb., March GA disas-
trous prairie fire is raging in this Sec
ton from Chain lake south, a distance
of so miles by so miles wide. Every
thing has been destroyed except few
ranchers' homes, which were protected
by fire banks. The fire has been suffi-
cient in many cases to scorch and
render worthless immense fields of
winter wheat half mile from the
flames. No lives have been lost, as the
flames were not famed by very
strong wind and it was easy for set
tiers to avoid the fires path. Dozens
of families were forced to leave their
homes and fee for safety with nothing
but the clothes on their backs. The
Hearley, Hardis, Emily, George Leon
ard and many other ranches were de-
stroyed by the flames. AS the fire is
working slowly toward Cedar creek, it
is hoped that its force will be spent
there and that ii will die out.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 2S.-Upon the
arrival of the Pacific Coast Steamship
company's steamer Santa Rosa from
San Diego yesterday the news was re-
ceived OF another horrible accident, in
directly attributed to the Alaskan gold
excitement, which is believed to have
cost the lives of 40 passengers and sail

sailed hence for Copper river points

starboard side, with her stern low
down in the water, her deck hamper
badly wrecked, and several planks of
her hull washed loose by the seas
which broke over her. While there
were no signs of boats among the
wreckage, it is not believed that her
passengers and crew escaped by put
ting off from the vessel in them, as
there has been very heavy sea

no word has been received from the
survivors, if any exist, although the
derelict was sighted within ten miles

over in the interior or tributaries OF

manifest The greatest damage to
homes seems to have been at Day

places, hundreds of families have been
driven from their homes and made de-

TO TEST THE LAW.
Nebraska Railroad Commissioners VIII
Order Reduction in Freight Tariffs
OF 10 to is Per Cont.

LINCOLN, Neb., March 25.-The Ne
braska state board of transportation,
after an extended conference, an
nounced It's intention yesterday OF en-
forcing a reduction in local freight
rates on all roads in Nebraska The
reduction will amount to from 10 to
Is per cent. The action is the
result of the supreme court decision
at Washington declaring the max
imum freight rate law imperative. BY
an act of the last Nebraska Legislature
the state board is clothed with arbi-
trary power, permitting reductions at
its discretion not only of railroads, but
of telegraph, telephone and express
companies. This is the FIRST effort to-
test the new law, action having been
delayed awaiting the supreme court
decision. 1t rests with the roads to
fight the order either by injunction or
mandamus
