of a military plot against the govern

weekly review Of trade says:
With actual payments through clear
ing houses 1872 per cent larger than in
the same week Of 1892. 1t cannot be said
that business is in any sense falling off,
and yet many are complaining because
the amount realized as profit is smaller
than was formerly realized in good
times. The man who sold $4,000 worth
Of products had profit of perhaps 81, 900
In 1892, and yet he sells $4,000 worth of
the same product in 1898 and is not hap
py because his profits are but $500. But
in almost every branch of business
trade is now transacted on a narrower
margin Of profit than in any other time
OF fair prosperity. There Is a great
change, and perhaps a permanent one,
in the percentage Of profits derivable
from trade and manufacture as we'll as
in the profits obtainable by transport

the volume of business transacted in
creases in order to make possible a gen.
eral improvement in the condition of the
working millions.
The wheat business is more active,
with prices about l1a cents higher for
spot and half cent for the December
option. Very heavy purchases have
been made within the past few days,
not as yet reflected in the official record
of shipments, but the exports from both
coasts, flour included, have been 4,101,-
no bushels against 4Ss6.o15 for the
same week last year. 1t is especially
interesting that, in spite of the general
disposition of farmers to hold back
their wheat, the western receipts have
been for the week much larger than
last year. and for two weeks 20.790, ,495
bushels against 16,696,554 last year.
While little attention is now paid to
the official reports, 1t is noticeable that
they seem to foreshadow a larger re-
turn for the crop than has been made
in any previous year. The price Of corn
has advanced about 2 cents, though the
receipts are just now larger than year
ago.

BROKE THROUGH THE BRIDGE.

Herb Lconard's team passed down
Main Street about O'Clock on Friday
with huge block of granite lis di-
mensions were 13-eX5 SX2-3 and nine
span of horses were required to draw it..
The stone was from Milne, Clarihew Il
Grays quarry and was for Mcmillan 4
Stevens, being a side roof s.one for the
large vault they are cutting for Chicago
parties.
When the loa, was about midway
across the iron bridge which spans the
river on Blackwell Street the planking
began to crack and the near hind wheel
dropped through to the axle. Mr.. Vas
sar who was driving the team, was
thrown off, but luckily not seriously in
iured The other hind wheel cut into
the planking some but did not drop
through. 1t is estimated that the whole
load weighed twenty tons, the truck
weighing 4 800 pounds OF it.
The accident occurred about five
O'Clock and when the whistle blew Clari-
hew & Gray's men brough ht three jacks
and some blocking and raised the load
up and it was pulled safely out in about
two hours time and left at Mcmillan
& Stephens shed. 1t was lucky for all
concerned that the load, horses and all
did not 90 through into the river. The
authorities should see that the planking
on this bridge is kept perfectly good,
for some of the heaviest loads brought
| from the hill have 10 cross it.
There is another stone at Milne,
Clarihrw e. Gray's quarry just like this
one all ready to come to down, also one

o'clock this morning.

willing witnesses declare that they won't
go out with Reilly any more.
The evidence presented nothing new
to those acquainted with illicit handling
of the forbidden juice, while the numer-
GUS occasions on which DR.. Reilly has
played to the gallery gods of the judicial
forum makes the story leading up to last
weeks finale nothing but an oft told tale.
DR.. Reilly was given a sentence of 80
days in the county Jail and $500 fine.
His assistant, David Ward, also got 80
day Jail sentence with 5000 fine. Bonds
we're given by both in the sum of $500
and the case appealed to the supreme
court which meets in October, when the
point will be raised that the service of
the injunctional order on Reilly was not
valid, the papers bearing the original
signature of the court not being served.
As the same point bears on the Jamieon
injunctional case from Osnabrock the
trial of that case is deferred pending the
handing down of the decision.

Probably owing to the busy season and
the shortness of the notice given the In

Com'r Jos. Heapy says very few but
unusually, large hail stones fell at his
place in the storm that passed over south
east of here last Tuesday. The injury to
crops was but slight. His barn was
struck by lightning and narrowly escaped
being burned while the stock inside was
not injured in the slightest. He was in
town at the time attending the meeting
of the county board.
A Fourth of July casualty of more
than passing notice that was inadvertent-
emily overlooked last week was the acct
dental explosion of cannon cracker
which manned ''Tippo," the we'll known
bull pup belonging to T. E. Burke, in
such manner that it was found neces-
sary to put an end to his suferings by
the shotgun route the next day. The
dog was an old fellow and a friend and
companion of the boarders of the Column
bia for the past ten years and has always
held supreme position in the dogdom
of Langdon. He was always on the
alert and go where he would, he seemed
to trot along in an "I've-got-a-chip-on-
my shoulder" kind of way and there
was always trouble for the canine who
attempted to remove that mythical chip
from old "Tlppo's" shoulder.
