MYSTERY IN NEBRASKA WOODS.
Beautiful Young Woman Reported to

Persons living in the vicinity of Flor

North Omaha, Neb., are greatly exercis-
ed because Of reports brought to them
by their children of a beautiful and ele-
gant,y attired young woman wandering
aiml sly in the woods. Boys returning
from fishing expeditions have seen her,
and ole or two housewives bear testi-
moBy that she has been at their wells
for drink of water A young woman
and her escort returning from church
through a field late Sunday tell of seeing
a fire burning in eoppice, and OF hear
ing a beautiful female voice chanting a
hymn. Once she was seen sitting on
the brink of creek near Hamilton's saw
mill dabbling her bare feet in the water.
A squirrel hunter says he saw young
woman, handsomely dressed, sitting on
log in the lonely wood, tossing pebbles
In her hands as children play at jack
stones In the sand on the banks of the
river are dainty boot prints, and beside
rugged powders of a morning are found
the smoldering embers of fires. Some
think the Strange wild creature is Maggie

immediate male relatives of the missing
woman patrolIed the outskirts of Flor

Plot of Prisoners at Chillicothe, Ohio
Discovered on the Eve of Success.

Plot of Prisoners at ChiIlicothe, ONO.
Discovered on the Eve of Success
A fortunate chance prevented desper-
ate attempt at Jail delivery at Chillicothe,
Ohio, in which there would probably have
been some fatalities The county jail now
contains as desperate lot Of criminals
as ever were within its walls. The other
night a man named Pummel, who has
been serving a short jail sentence, was
released. and informed the sheriff that
every arrangement had been made for a
wholesale jail delivery, the prisoners con
cerned being four burglars named Canter,
Smith Boston and Foley. The men were
at once brought out, searched, and placed
in the dungeon. An examination showed
that they had sawed two bars clear
through. so that they could be removed at
a moments notice, and had provided
themselves with boxes filed with pepper
to throw in the eyes Of the guard and
blind him. Where they got their saws is
a mystery. The pepper was secured from
their meals from day to day, and had
been saved for a long time.

BUSINESS SHOWS DECLINE.
Trade Not What IT Was Year Ago
Opirions as to the Cause.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says: Business is not what 1t was
year ago, but men do not agree in de-
fining the difference. The working force,
then increasing fast. Is now decreasing.
Works are stopping to relieve excessive
output in manufactures Of paper, cotton
wool, leather and some forms of steel,
while prices are suddenly reduced for the
same purpose in lead, wire and nails
What seems to some merely spring duii-
ness others think the beginning OF re-
action The remedy for one dlihcuity
does not fit the other. and there Is more
need than usual for close attention 10 the
meaning of events. In place Of the wild
speculation in securities which sweiied ex-
changes year ago there has come sucn
liquidation that twenty preferred indus
trial stocks have sod this week at prices
averaging $S3.14 STARE, though the
same stocks sold Ia April last year FOR
$99.66 a share. and twenty common have
sold this week for $3.50 which sold last
year at $3.50, double the price. The
industrials have reached the lowest aV-
erage they have ev1r known. Failures
for the week have been lit in the Unit
ed States, against lat last year. and ~
in Canada, against II last year"
