r. G.. Dun & Co.'s weekly review OF
trade SAYS: Unusual depression in stocks
this week has displayed the great diver
gence between the trading and the pro
ductive industries of the country and It's
speculation. Never has production been
greater, the number Of hands employed
larger, the wages distributed higher, or
the purchasing power, based upon earn
ings, greater than at this time, and new
er have conditions of trade or returns OF
earnings and traffic given certainty OF
greater business for transporters. Yet
as the earnings Of the railway and man,
ufacturing companies mount upward
their stocks decline as if it were dlsas-
trous for a road to double it's earnings
and ruinous for a milf to realize unpre-
cedented profits. Inflated capitalization
has OF course done much harm and spec
ulative excitement has counted profits IN
many cases long before they were earned.
Money markets here and abroad have
been strained by British reyerses IN
South Africa. In spite of an advance OF
81 cents in prices cotton exports IN NO
vember decreased $13,02O,926 in value,
amounting to only 710,351 bales, against
1888, 1875 last year. Wool did not ad-
vance further, though sales scarcely dl-
minish and have been 22,O75,OOO pounds
in two weeks at the three chief markets
Failures for the week were 21S in the
United States, against POI last year, and
26 in Canada, against 81 last year.

WIFE WORKS A 49,
WORKING AND WAITING FOR
TWENTY YEARS.
Mrs. Ze1tner Is Determined to Have a
Home for the Man She Married When
He Energies from the Penitentiary-
Love VS.. Law.

Some months ago John Zeltner, Jack
son township, Ohio, German farmer, was
convicted of completely with his brother
Paul in the murder of Attorney u. IL.
Westenhaver of Hoytville. He was SEN
fenced to serve term of twenty years
in the Ohio penitentiary. John Zeltners
wife has furnished a striking example
of how a determined woman may adapt
herself to the most discouraging clrcum-
stances. She was left with three small
children to care for, and to this burden
was added the care of an SO-acre farm.
She went into the fields like farm
hand, helped to plant and harvest the
crops, and has made full hand On the
farm almost every day since her nus
bands incarceration. She has recently
completed harvesting forty acres OF corn,
much of which was husked with her own
hands. Besides she has fed herd OF
$50 hogs, which are ready for market
and cared for the cattle and horses, milk
ed the cows and attended to her dairy.
There is a mortgage of about S2OO on
the farm, and it is her determination to
keep her little family together and pay
off the indebtedness, so that when her
husband regains his liberty they will have
a home Of their own in which to pass the
remainder Of their lives.

Awful Scenes Following an Earth
quake on the Island of Ceram.
By the steamer China come the hrst
details of the appalling disaster caused oy
O tidal wave which swept over Ceram'
one of the Molucca islands, between Dor
neo and New Guinea. Mail advices snow
that 5000 persons were killed on Ceram
alone, when the dreadful earthquakes OF
November visited the coast of Japan ana
agitated the lands adjacent to that en-
pire. In the night the people OF Ceram
were awakened by a terrific earthquake
that seemed to move from north to souln.
All fed from their houses and took up
places in public squares. A few hours
later the water rose in the bay of Am
bonia. The tidal wave followed. AT
Pauholy and Samasoeroa, on the pay,
the wave swept over the tops OF trees
thirty feet high. When the wave sub
sided corpses were everywhere. Broken
trees and portions of houses were buried.
Every few rods were great heaps OF
stones and powders that had been wash
ed up from the sea, changing the entire
topography of the country. The eXact
number of killed along the coast VIII

in many cases yards under new ground.
