A Healthy Volume of Trade in Prog
ress, with Steady Prices.

One of the gratifying features of trade is that
the presidential campaign is interfering with
trade to the extent that IL usually does. Whole
sale merchants are planning for big fall and
winter trade, should there be no change in the
administration of the government, ands are for
that reason. not allowing politics come be-
tween them and business. Another good feature
Is that prices continue unusually steady and
firm, although margins at which goods are sold
are close. In prices, with the beginning of the
week, but few changes were made. Linseed oil
and some drugs have made slight advances but
dry goods. staple groceries and iron and steel
are firm and steady at prices quoted Eggs and

The Wagner Sayings of Thurs
day says:
Last night Frank Charboneau, a
farmer living east of Grand river,
heard something rattling at his barn
doors and concluding that possibly
a thief of some kind was around
went down to see what the noise
meant. Someone fred at him from
inside the crib and inflicted a flesh
wound in the hip. There were said
to be two parties in the crib;. and
whether they were there for the
purpose Of stealing or whether their
motive was to draw Mr.. Char
boneau out that they might infict
bodily injury to him, we are not
informed. The wound he received
was from the shot of Winchester,
bnt he was not thought to be hurt
seriously.

cHICAGo's POPULATION.
Computation Made from Omcial Re-
ports of School Census Makes
Total 2,O17,717.

The population of Chicago, accord
ing to estimates made on the basis of
the school enrolment, was 2,o17,717 on
June /, 1900, when the government CEN
sus work began. The directory figure
Is 100000. The computation is made
from figures forwarded by Supervisor
of School Census Stephen D. Griffin to
Superintendent Cooley. According to.
Mr.. Griffin's official figures the total
enrolment for Chicago schools, includ-
ing lindergartens, stands as follows:
ls9S 1879 ,oss
AuSiedSe Osolo
The percentage of increase is thus
shown to have been 40, with small
fraction. The population of the cityin
May, 1898, according to the school CEN
sus, was 1,sol,dss. Supposing that the
increase has been at the same ratio In
the school years 1S9s-99 and 1s99-19OO,
as in the latter year, the annual in
crease since 1898 would be 7e,646, or for
two years, 1929, which would bring
the city up to 2,o10,sso. Allowing for
an additional month of growth, as the
school census represents the popula-
ton in May, while the government
takes the number of people in June,
| the total of 2,017,717 is obtained.
The figures are confirmed by results
deduced from prior school censuses. In
1894 the school count gave Chicago
1,567.727 souls. This census was taken
in May. This shows an increase Of
2S3,s61 between May, 1894, and May,
1898, or 7o,965 each year. On this basis,
the population on May /, 1900, was
1,993,510, and on June 1, zoos, 346 leav-
Ing difference between the two esti-
mates of but 1881.

COLEMAN STOLEN SILVER.
1t Was Found In an Unexpected Way
Buried on the Side of
Mountain.

Wardwell Peak, near Fishkill, n. Y,
has given up the treasure that has been
missing for IS years. The silverware
that belonged to the wealthy Coleman
family was found the other day by NJ.
d. Benton in q dense thicket on the
mountain side. The handle of a silver
spoon sticking from the earth was his
guide. Eighteen years ago the Cole
man homestead was robbed in the
night. Everything of value was stolen.
The head of the household, Amasa Cole
man, of Coleman Station, offered big
reward for the return OF his heirloons,
but nothing ever came of it. So at
length the family became reconciled to
its loss and forgot about the stolen
silver.
Benton was walking down the noun.
tain the other day when he saw the
handle OF spoon sticking through the
ground When Benton dug away the
earth from the top there lay rich col
lection of fine silver. Every piece bore
the name Coleman"
Benton had heard of the mysterious
Coleman robbery of years ago, and
sought out Mrs. Robert Welsh, who
was formerly Miss Coleman.
That's our stolen silyer." she cried
when she saw the find. and Benton
turned it all over to her.
Many of the pieces We're hardly tar
nished.

AsToR GOES TO GERMANY.
in London OF the Expatriated
American.

William Waldorf Aston, the expatri-
ated American, has had his social career
IN London closed by his ancient enemy,
the prince of Wales.
Mr. Astor left London the other dav
for Germany, and before he went can.
eeled all his engagements and recalled
invitations which had been sent out
Tor house parties at Cliveden.
i is positively stated that the prince
OF Wales has set his foot down very
firmly and declared that Mr.. Astor is to
be cut in all social circles because of
his abominable treatment of Sir Archi-
bald Milne, when the ex-American de-
clared that the popular officer had
come to an Astor party without an in
vitation.
SIT Archibald placed the matter in
the hands of the prince of Wales, and
the result is the social disgrace of the
naturalized Briton.

TELEPHONE OVER OCEAN.
Electrical Authorities Place Little
Credence in Professor NJ. 1.
Pupin's Alleged Discovery.

The statement that Prof. NJ. /. Pup
IN, of Columbia college, New York, has
discovered means by which conversu-
ton over telephone wire can be car
ried on across the Atlantic does not
find much credence among electrical
authorities In Chicago.
A. S. Hubbard, manager of the Chi
cago Telephone company, says that
Prof. Pupin's scheme of series Of coils
to be inserted at intervals under the
sheath Of the cable would render it diff
fcult, admitting its practicability, to
build and lay cable of that kind at the
bottom of the ocean.
Mr.. Capen, superintendent of the Pos
tai Telegraph company, says that in
recent conversation with the electrical
engineer of his company at New York
regarding the practicability of tele-
phoning across the Atlantic the en-
gineer said 1t may yet be found to be
not an impossibility, but there was
nothing known at present that would
enable one to talk across the ocean.

ABN0RMALLY LARGE HEART.
Is Found to Have Been
Strangely Afflicted.

The heart that DR.. Hamilton VIII
liams, coroner's physician, found in
the body of a man at the morgue at
New York the other day may prove to
be the largest on record in America.
1t weighed 86 ounces, which is about
four times the weight of the normal
mans heart. The mammoth heart
proved the death of its owner, who
is as yet unidentified. The man
was walking on West Twenty-ffth
street, when suddenly he was seen to
drop to the sidewalk. He was dead
before medical aid arrived. Superb
cial examination caused the ambulance
surgeon to think that the man had been
choked to death. There was a piece Of
tobacco in his throat which might have
strangled him. But DR.. Williams
brought to light the giant heart, which

PRESCRIPTION

n had been sufferer for many years
from nervousness with all Its symptoms
and complications" writes Mrs. b. N.
Fisher, 1861 Lexington Ave-, New York,
N. Y. ~ was constantly going to see
physician or purchasing medicine. In
the spring of 1897 my husband induced
ME to try DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton. After taking one bottle and fol-
lowing your advice was so encouraged
that took five more bottles, and then
stopped for several weeks as I felt SO
much better, but still was not conn.,
bleteLy cured. I commenced taking it
again and felt that I was improving
faster than at first. I am not now cross
and irritable, and have good color in
my face; have also gained about ten
pounds in weight and one thousand
pounds Of comfort, for I am new
woman once more and your advice and
your Favorite Prescription is the cause
of it, coupled with the Pleasant Pellets
which are not to be dispensed with.
took eight bottles of the Prescription
the last time, making fourteen in all,
and will not take any more unless you
so advise, for do not see as l need it."
