Lake Business Is Booming and
Midsummer Rates Are the
Highest Known.
ORE TRAFFIC THE CAUSE
Mining Companies Making Eff
fort to Meet the Demands
of the Furnaces.
Coal Men Attempted to Die
tate Rates and Delayed
Early Shipment.

CHICAGO, July 1.-THE Lake Marine
News says: The boom in lake traffic
has, at midsummer, exceeded even the
expectations of the most sanguine vessel
owners at the opening of navigation
last April. The advance in rates has
been steady from week to week first in
one great line of traffic and then in an.
other until it has reached the highest
figures paid during the summer months
in this decade.
The direct cause of the boom in lake
business is the great activity in the
iron and steel trade. The iron mining
companies are putting forth every effort
to get down all of the ore possible from
the mines before the close of naviga-
ton. Notwithstanding their efforts
the movement of ore is not sufficiently
large to meet the demand of the fur
naces.
1t seems likely that the Northwest,
supplied with coal from Lake Superior,
will be in bad way for fuel, owing to
the steadily
Advancing Figure in Coal Freights

their stocks early in the season, the
coal shippers pursued the tactics which
they had found so successful in the
years of depression. They got together
and made an agreed rate, more than
which they would not pay. The result
was that when the coal ought to have
been going forward, ships were
running back to Lake Superior
without cargoes. At last, when the
coal shippers found that they were
not masters of the situation as they had
been since the panic, they began to bid
up, but in the meantime return freights
had also advanced, and they were as
bad off as before. Vesselmen say it is
now impossible, with the ships to be
had, to take sufficient supply of fuel
to the Northwest for the coming win
ter, regardless of rates.
From now until the close of naviga-
ton there will be nothing but rush in
the lake business.

TO BE TRIED FOR MURDER.
Execution of William Going VIII Be the
Basis of Charges.

KANSAS CITY July IA special
from Tulsa, 1. T., says: The execution
of William Go NJ. the Choctow Indian,
in defiance of writ Of habeas corpus
issued by United States Judge John R.
Thomas, will be the cause for bringing
those implicated to trial for murder
Judge Thomas. in an interview, stated
he would see that the law in respect tc
disobeying an order from the United
States government is fully investigated
and that all the guilty ones are brought
to justice. The open violation of Judge
Thomas order has created much ex.
element, and it is predicted it marks
the beginning of the end of conflicting
laws in the Indian Territory. AS a
matter CT fact all the tribal laws in the
territory are of no effect, yet all the
tribes cling to their old Indian laws and
continue to insist upon self-government.

A Rich Mans Project.

A rich mans statement that he in

much discussion. This is because it

many other agencies which accomplish
just as much good. Take Hostetter's

American remedy. For fifty years it

WARTIME GIFT RETURNED.
Missourian's Distant Relative Writes
Him After Thirty Years.

Him After Thirty Years.
A sequel to an interesting story de-
veloped at Warrensburg, Mo-, recently,
distant kinsman of whom he had not
heard for 80 years. William Zoll is
now "a years of age. In 1852 he re-
ceived a message from a distant rela-
tive, Barney Zoll, in which the latter
told of his capture by Union soldiers
and incarceration in the Federal prison
at Camp Chase. Barney Zoll was not
soldier, but he sympathized keenly
with the south, and it was for this
sympathy that he was imprisoned.
William Zoii, on the other hand, SYM
pathized just as keenly with the Union
Nevertheless his kinsmans appeal
touched lin deeply, and, although he
was not possessed of much means at
the time, he continued to send some
money and tobacco and clothing to the
prisoner from time to time When Bar
ney Zoll was released from prison, the
remittances to him from William Zoll
had amounted to about $50, says the
st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Several letters passed between the
two, and then the correspondence
ceased. In a short time William Zoll
lost trace of his kinsman. The other
day, however, William Holl received
letter, 81 years after the first one,
from the former Confederate. He was
very much surprised to find in it a
check for 500. The letter was as fol-
lows:
Radford, Va, June l6.
William Zoll:
Ny Dear Sir-Your kinsman and old friend, Bar
ney Zoll, is now too feeble from age and failing
sight to communicate with you in his own hand
and therefore requests me to write this for him.
He has no organic disease and suffers pain, but
Is quite feeble a natural consequence of old
age. The inclosed check, he says. is q small
token of his kind regard and in grateful remem-
brance of your many kindnesses to him in his
time of need. Yours truly, WILLIAM NGLEs.

A MILITARY BAND.
Concert Given by the Fourth Ca
valry Musicians.

The concert by the Fourth Cavalry
band at the Hawaiian Hotel last even
ing was most enjoyable. This organ
ization is undoubtedly one OF the best
bands that has ever touched at Homo
lulu. They play with the accuracy
and precision of trained musicians.
and with the rhythmic swing and
movement that is the divine right OF
military bands. The grounds were
crowded with people. among which
were many of the Valencia's soldiers,
who swear by the Fourth Cavalry
band. After the concert Capt. Paul
Smith took the band boys over to- the
Officers Club. where they were enter

The Valencia will probably remain
over Sunday. and it is hoped by al

those who did not, that the band viii

PREACHERS ARE PARTISANS
MIR. WAKE EXPLAINS FAILURE
OF CHURCHES.
Cannot Understand Why Ministers
Should Favor the Republican Par
ty, Which Aids Liquor Power.

A paper on Limited Success in Church
Effort which Rev. Richard Wake read
before the Ministerial ASSOCIATION at their
meeting on Monday, touchsd upon politics
and has aroused considerable Interest,".
The belief was expressed by Mr.. Wake
that political partisanship in ministry and
churches is responsible for not little of
popular alienation. This craftsmanship has
been altogether with the Republican par
ty. and the reason stated was that at the
time of the civil war the Christian minis
tiers naturally sided with the party that
was opposed to slavery.
After the war Mr. Wake said, with
the birth of new issues. it might have
been expected that conditions would
change. but with an unfortunate persist
ence the ministry continues with the
Republican party. 1t is difficult to dis
cover n reason for this. Especially in
view of the fact thta the Republican par
" is giving constant evidence of its sub
servience to the liquor power. There can
be no doubt that the strong political bias
of the non-llturgical churches, bias with
out any perceptible ethical reason for it's
existence. repels many of other political
faiths. They do not care to ally them
selves with the organizations strongly an
taSonistic to the policies and principles
they believe are essential to the national
Wellbeing.'
