In the dry goods there is more than
the usual activity incident to the fall
trade. Advances in prices ranging
from 10 to Is per cent are noted.
The manufacturers of farm imple-
ments decided, at a meeting in Chi
cago, to advance prices Is per cent.
The prices Of boots and shoes have
been raised from 10 to Is per cent, in
accordance with recent expectation
and promise.-Minneapolis Times.
Now if the farmers will only get to-

good times. But alas! the farmers
can't do it.

Picquart's deposition was a fine per-

in view of this the mass of facts ad

The members of the court-martial

several explanations he gave came as
fresh light. Then when Picquart con-

Merciar jumped up and asked to be

A BRITISH BLUFF.
Tupper Would Build a Road to Dawson ant
Exclude American Miners.

London, August 1S.-Sir Charles Tup-
per, formerly Canadian high commits
sioner, in an interview with represent
ative of the Associated Press, said:
"The United States is purposely delay
ing settlement of the Alaskan dispute
on account of the pecuniary benefit ac-
cruing to the miners and coast cities
through delay, and has refused to have
the boundary delimitated, as Is being
done in Venezuela. No settlement ever
could be reached through a one-sided
commission, suggested by the United
States. We have reached the impasse,
and have no intention Of resuming ne
gotiations in regard to matters pending
between Canada and America until the
Alaskan question is settled. I propose
for a British railroad to be built from
Kitimata to Dawson, and for law to
be passed allowing only Britishers to
mine on the Yukon. The moment this
is done, the subject Of the United States
preventing settlement disappears.
The dominion is a unit in supporting
Sir Wilifred Laurier's stand"

He Now Says That His Name Is Johr

The New Mexican Of Wednesday had
special telegram telling Of the arrest
Of an outlaw at Carlsbad. An Associat-

day in the Denver papers was as fol-

John Thompson, another of the noto-
rious Ketchum gang and one of the four
desperadoes who held up the Colorado
and Southern train near Folsom, July
IA last, is under arrest. Word has just
reached here that the posse is closing in
on the fourth and last man, and his
few hours.
"The capture of Thompson was made
by Sheriff M. c. Stewart, oe Eddy coun-
ty, and posse, and was only accom-
plished after desperate fight, in which
two of the posse were wounded, one of
them probably fatally.
"At daybreak this morning the posse
cornered the two outlaws in the Luck
Hese ranch, twenty miles from here.
The house was surrounded and de-
mand made on the men to surrender.
They refused, and a pitched battle fol-
lowed, in which two of the posse were

"Finally both men made rush fol

line which surrounded them. In this eff
fort Thompson's partner was success
full but the posse is close behind him
and his escape is thought to be impos-
