DUN's REVIEW OF TRADE.

NEW YORK, July 2o.-R. G. Dunn
& Company's Weekly Review OF Trade
go-morrow will lsay:
The midsummer vacation has al
ready disposed of the prophets who
gave 1t a week or two" but there are
few signs to indicate its probable dur
alton. The compact of lake ore produc-
ers not TO sell standard Bessemer ore
below $3.50 at lower lake ports this
year. with coke held at $3.50, much less
the probability that the market will
wait for Bessemer pig TO go below SIS,
and some increased buying already APP
pears by makers of implements, not
yet in season contracts, but enough TO
give hope.
Not much beyond waiting is probable
until wages for the coming year can
be settled. The halt in the great iron
industry necessarily affects both busi-
ness and prospects in some others. The
same extensive building strikes which
have cut off the use OF much struotur-
al steel have also prevented a vast use
OF lumber. The eastern association
tried without avail TO hold prices and
the North Carolina association caused
extensive curtailment OF output While
the Lake association two weeks ago
resulted to maintain prices but needed
market does not yet appear.
Failures for the week have been 33l
in the United States, against las last
year, and q in Canada against % last
year.

AN AMICABLE AGREEMENT.


Special TO the Register.
MARTINSBURG, w. Va, July 20
The situation between the Standard
Lime & Stone Company and the city
authorities has been much relieved by
the appearance before the City Coun-
Gil last night Of Mr.. William Baker,
the president of the company. Mr..
baker agreed to let the water run as
usual and not fight the matter any
further, as he said that the water in
the quarry was not the same water as
the big Spring" and the pumping
had to go on as usual after the water
had been turned the same as before.

FIND TRACE OF barry.
Police Find Evidence which Show That
the Man is Alive and Well.

The renewed agitation of the search
for John r. Barry has resulted in the
police making important discoveries
in connection with the case and if the
discoveries are based on fact, the miss
ing man is not only alive and well, but
has base1y deceived the wife of his
bosom and gone away to have good
time all by himself
When it was discovered that no trace
of the man could be found the police
went to the friends of Barry and soon
learned that his going away was an
open secret among them. The quest
resulted in the discovery that Barry
had told some of his friends of his
plans. Notable among them was Mr..
Eve, editor of the German paper. Barry
was a great friend of Eve and the
latter told the police that Barry told
him a short time before he left that he
was going to see the world. He said
that he had been working for years for
nothing and had never been out of
Kenosha, but that he had managed to
get little money ahead and he had
decided to spend it in the way that
would give him the greatest pleasure.
The story told by Mr.. Eve is carried
out by the facts as reported to the po-
lice. On the day Barry went away he
came nome from work very early and
changed his clothes, taking all the
money he had with him.
This story of the editor will do away
with all suspicion of foul play and til
hoped that it will relieve the nervous
tension of the family that has been left
behind to1ook out for themselves while
John has a good time. The police
should make renewed effort to find
him, as his family are badly in need of
his assistance.

M, PADDOCK DEAD.
Former District Attorney Passed
Away Thursday Morning at His
Home In Salem.
CLOSE OF AN ACTIVE CAREER

The Deceased Had Been Seriously Ill for
Some Months, but his Friends had Hoped
for His Recovery.-Born in Salem in 1859
He Spent Most of His Life in the County
His Honorable Record as an Attorney
and oficial.
Munson Paddock, aged Al years, and
late district attorney for Kenosha
county, died at his home in Salem
early Thursday morning, February 8.
The funeral was held from the
late residence of the deceased, just
across the road from the old Paddock
homestead, on Saturday afternoon.
The funeral was in charge of the
Masonic fraternity, of which Mr.. Pad
dock had been a member for many
years.
Munson Paddock was born in Salem,
kenosha county, Wisconsin, February
Is, 1859. He was of Puritan origin,
and son of DR.. Francis Paddock, a
pioneer physician, who located in Wis
consin in July, 1888, and who repre-
scented this district in the state senate
in 1855. Mr.. Paddock was a graduate
of Oshkosh Normal and lawyer by
profession. He commenced the study
of law in this city and afterwards en-
tered the law department of the state
University, where he was admitted to
the bar in 1883.
Locating in Kenosha he at once en-
tered upon the practice of his profess
sion and was appointed city attorney
and later was twice chosen district
attorney of the county, and again, un-
sought, received the nomination of the
Republican party for the same position
but declined the honor, on account of a
growing law practice. He had held
various other offices of trust in the gift
of the people and has several times
represented his county as delegate in
district and state conventions. He
ranked high as a lawyer, was firm
believer in the principles of true Re
pub1icanism and an interchangeable
worker and prominent organizer and
orator in the different campaigns in
the county. For many years he had
been a member of the Masonic order
and stood high with the members of
the Brotherhood.
The widow and children and aged
mother who survive him, have the
sympathy of large circle of relatives
and friends.

SCHOOL AND DANCING.
superintendent Griffith Writes Pertinent
Letter in Regard to Terpiscore.
and friends

superintendent Griffith gives some
advice to teachers, on dancing. The
following is his reply to letter in the
Milwaukee Journal written by Mr..
Ross, of GAINESVILLE:
''To the Editor of The Journa1:-The
time, place and crowd being all right,
dancing is an e1evating and refining
amusement. However, like any other
amusement it may end in harm.
From your interview with Mr.. Ross,
of GAINESVILLE, it seems that in Rock
county there are many beautiful school
ma'ams. They are very numerous in
Kenosha county, in fact, in all Wis
consin, since the soil and climate are
highly favorable to the best styles of
female loneliness.
The interview speaks of these school
ma'ams and their beaus driving ten
miles to a dance. That's about the
right distance for having a nice little
visit with your best schoo1ma am. At
least, so remember it. Furthermore
we expect to find beau wherever there
is a "dear'' of a schoo1ma am. A good
beau is quite handy to have around.
Now, given a beau, a schoo1ma am,
good music, and waxed floor, much
dancing, late supper, and 4 o'clock
in the morning are likely to follow.
Mr.. Ross admits that he knows how it
is himself. Now, Mr.. Ross, didn't you
have a world of fun? Didn't your
pulse beat faster then than now? Don't
you remember how your heart went
pit-a-pat? And aren't you glad that no
grim superintendent shook his gaunt
and bony finger at you? know you
to be genial and sociab-e and [ am
sure you would not do anyone the
least harm.
I've heard no complaints about dane
ing too much and at the wrong time.
This fact surprises me when think of
the great number of Kenosha teachers
who dearly love dancing and VINO dance
so well. Now, if 1 should find out that
any teacher was dancing at the wrong
time, I'd most likely ask whether she
had a good time, joke her little about
her escort-beau, if you p1ease-and
then say that Friday or Saturday night
dances are the best of all. I think
she'd take the hint.
I am sure that the teachers of Keno
sha county have not hurt themselves
or their work by dancing. Many of
the best do not dance and others,
equally good, do dance, using common
sense at the same time.
Those of us who have reached the
noon of life should remember its rose
ate morn. May our hearts be ever as
full of sunshine as in the days when
we were young and gay.

MENACED BY WATERS.
Heavy Rains Prove That sewer system is
insufficient to Carry off the water

The rains which fell Wednesday
afternoon and this morning were
among the heaviest that ever fell in
this section of the country, and as a
result a great deal of property in the
city along Jerome creek and on the
North side has been badly damaged on
account of the sewers not being able to
carry away the surplus water. From
little trickling stream Jerome creek
has become a surging torrent and the
residences along the sides of the creek
are IN serious danger. All The works
that have been built to keep the water
out of the. plots have beer washed
away and the loss to the property own
ers will be very large. OF course it is
not possible to measure it in dollars
and cents, but it will require many
months to repair the damage done by
the water. The heaviest losers on &C
count of the FLOOD ill be T. ]. Dale
and William Schroeder, who have
property whichs had been protected
against this emergency.
But the result of the heavy rains has
also been severely felt on the North
side. The North side sewer was not in
any way sufficient to carry off the wa
ter and as a result cellars and base
ments have been flooded and consider
able financial loss has been sustained.
The heaviest loss thus far reported
was at Joerndt Bros. grocery store on
Milwaukee avenue. When the pro-
prietors reached the store this morning
they found the contents of the cellar
floating around in the street in front
of the building. The cellar was COM
p1ete1y filled with water and all the
goods Ing this part of the store were
either completely ruined or badly DAM
aged. The loss is estimated at at least
$500 and it may be more.
The overflow of the sewer will prob
ably be- costly thing for the city, as
it reported that Joerndt Bros. will ask
the Council to pay all damages to the
stock. If the request is refused srit
will undoubtedly follow.

RECALL OTTER TIMES.
Old Veteran from Milwaukee Tells of an
Early Kindness of z. G. Simmons.

Fred S. Lowell Post G. A. R., are re-
ceiving many acceptances to the invi-
tations recently sent out for the
dedication ceremonies and many of
them are of delightful reminiscent
nature. Yesterday one was received
from the Milwaukee Post and one of
the letters told an interesting story in
regard to the kindness of Mr.. Simmons
during the war.
The writer of the letter belonged to
a Wisconsin regiment and before his
enlistment he had been great friend
of Mr.. Simmons. On the way to the
front the train bearing the soldiers
passed through this city and Mr.. Sim
mons was among those who gathered
to wish them Godspeed. When the
men got off the train the Kenosha
benefactor recognized his old friend in
his uniform of blue and after a reunion
the two talked of the war. AS the train
pulled out Mr.. Simmons reached in his
pocket and presented the departing
soldier with a magnificent purse filled
with money. This is still one of the
traditions of the Milwaukee regiment
and the writer tells of the great time
the boys had at Cairo, thanks to the
kindness of Mr.. Simmons.
The Milwaukee Posts will attend the
the ceremonies of the dedication in a
body.
