Trade Conditions.

Business has increased steadily
during the past week in nearly all
lines, and will probably continue to
do 80 until the farmers get fairly
started in the spring work. The
county trade has been very good
the past week. and as the saw mills
will start next week an increase in
the city trade will no doubt be
noticeable. Farmers In some Sec
tlons where the soil is lightest have
begun seeding, but in other local
tiles seedieg will probably not begin
before next week.
The price OF wheat has been a
little better than during the several
weeks previous. The tluctuation
has not been great hut the price has
n OF been below Sc cents, the highest
point ofthe week before last. Today q
quotations are one cent higher than
during the week previous.

ACCUSES FATHER.
Son Tells Of the Murder of a
Peddler at Ish-
peming.

Ishpeming, Mich, May 26.-Jacob
Brown of Sandusky, O., is prisoner in
Ishpeming jail charged with the murder
of Harrison Howard of Harvey, Ill. The
body of Howard was found three miles
west of Ishpeming, where the crime was
committed. Howard was a peddler and
ten days ago met Brown and his son, the
latter aged 16 years, tramping from San
dusky to the copper country. Howard
had about So and Brown was penniless.
They left Ishpeming late at night in
tending to walk to the next station west.
They sat down to rest and Brown, it is
said. tried to get money from Howard,
and being refused took a stone and
struck Howard on the head, killing him
instantly. The dead man dropped into
the arms of the boy. The clue to the ar
rest of Brown was furnished by Marshal

Englishman was Celebrating the
Queens Birthday-Torn Down
by Boer Sympathizers.

Spring Valley, N. Y, May 26.--All the
countryside is talking of the seizure and
burning of British flag at Monsey vii
lage. Pro-Boers did it. On the Queens
birthday, Robert Knox Sneeden, 65 years
old, a veteran Of the War of the Rebel
lion and a stanch Englishman, flung to
the breeze his Union Jack in celebrate
of the day. He knew his neighbors were
antagOnistic toward his flag, but he had
loaded shotgun ready.
The veteran was up bright and early,
and as his nelghbors sat down to the
breakfast table they saw the Britisher
upon his roof unfurling his flag. In the
afternoon there was village confab re-
garding Sneeden's banner. 1t was decid-
ed to storm his kopje and seize and burn
the flag. The invading force, about
twenty strong, got a long ladder and a
number of American flags and marched
to Sneeden's home. Their leader, Charles
Starr, summoned the veteran to the door
I'VE are here. Mr.. Sneeden, to tear
down that flag" said Commander Starr
Sneeden said he would get his gun. but
made him prisoner. He struggled like
a mailman. The ladder was quickly
placed against the side of the house, and
up went the pro-Boers, with shout of
victory. The flag was ripped from its
fastenings and a match touched to it,
Soon it was ashes. Then Sneeden's enc
mics 'cheered ''Old Glory" babe the fu-
rious old soldier Il courteous gOodby, re-
minding him that the days performance
would be repeated if he ever hoisted the
British symbol again under their noses.
Sneeden declares he intends to prose-
cute and to appeal to the British consul
