Gnssln from the Canital.

County nominations for repre-
sentatives are being watched here
WITH a great interest. This is es-
peciaIy true of close counties. The
consensus of opinion is that, for the
most part, the character of the
nominations to date indicate that
the people retaking lively inter-
est in the personnel of the next
General Assembly.
The nomination of E. J. Broaddus
for judge Of the court Of appeals Of
the western district is generally
approved, although both Timmonds
and Crawley had many warm advo-
Gates about the capital. 1t was con
ceded hy everybody here, before
the election. that the man who
beat Broaddus wouId be the nomi.
nee.
While the strong, thinking, work
ing Democrats all over the state are
of the opinion that J. M. Seibert
should be placed at the head of the
State Committee, there is much
speculation here as to whether he
would accept it or not. AS is we'll
known Mr.. Selbert stated early in
the year that 1T was his purpose to
retire from politics at the end of
his term. But as the campaign will
end before his term of office, it is
hoped that he will consent to take
charge ofthe campaign and lead the
Democratic hosts to o decisive
victory.
Col. J. S. Sullivan is no longer a
stakeholder in the Kansas City
Times. Friction on account of
differences of opinion regarding
the management Of the paper result
ed in his withdrawal. 1t is stated
here that his stock was purchased
by Judge Chrisman and Captain
Lesuer, but there are those who
think that the stock was purchased
by others high up in Democratic
councils.
Harry Edwards editor of the
Jefferson City Press has been men.
toned in connection with the secre-
,aryship of the State Committee.
We doubt If he could be inouced to
undertake the job. but he possesses
the qualifications for a successful
secretary.
He has been an active member
of the committee for some years
and has rendered excellent service
that the party will not be slow to
reward if opportunity offers. The
bold statement we see quoted from
the Globe Democrat that the rail

|DUNS WEEKLY REVIEW.
Strikes The 0vershadowing Influ-
ence Of Business.
THE ONLY TANGIBLE CHECK.

New York, Sept. 24.-R. G. Dun &c
in the anthracite coal region, which
has involved about 12O, 900 miners, and
probably 10000 others, is the over
shadowing influence in business. This
conflict disturbs business and inter
feres with calculation of merchants
over large part of the Atlantic sea-
board and is really the only tangible
check to the general recovery which
set in with the larger demand for iron
and steel products. Outside of the
anthracite industry enforced idleness
of hands is an exception, and even in
the Pennsylvania coal region other
employers would gladly take on thou
sands of more intelligent miners.
The Lorain Steel company, idle three
months, is starting its furnaces with
others to follow. Hesitation incident
to the presidential campaign is reflect
ed in decreased bank clearings.
Wheat advanced sharply 8 points,
helped by gloomy reports from grow
ing districts and free purchases at
northwest elevators. Sensational
gains in prices stopped foreign buying,
which led to heavy liquidation and a
reaction almost as large as the previous
movement.
ton, declining heavily both in spot
quotations and option trading. Bright
er crop news from Texas also had a
depressing effect. The cotton goods
market for few days continued the
strong movement of last week, but
closed less excited, though bare of
goods at first hands. Heavy curtail-
ment of production is still the rule.
Standard brown sheetings again adj
vanced 1-c, with other goods following.
Foreign conditions in wool are I'M
satisfactory, especially in France, but
fair prices are expected at the London
sales next month.
In iron and steel products greater
activity at former prices was the rule.
New contracts were for moderate
amounts, but large order for mallea-
bic Bessemer pig iron at southern
points makes the outlook more en-
couraging, and a Scotch concern is
only prevented from closing a very
large contract for billets by the high
ocean freights in prevalence.
Orders for railroad equipment for
September are expected to include
fully 5000 freight cars. A sharp break
in tin was aided by heavy shipments
from the straits.
Lumber is in a stronger position,
spruce selling at $3.75 per thousand,
an advance of % per cent for the
month.

Human Heads in Sacks.

Victoria, B. c., Sept. 2O.-Among the
advices brought by the Breconshire
from China were stories of the arrest
of Chinese with the heads of foreign
soldiers in sacks. 1t seems that head
money of fifty taels is paid for each
head. This fact was brought to light
by the discovery of the private papers
of Viceroy Yu Lu of Tien Tsin. In his
daybook there is on entry which reads:
''Taels 100 paid for the heads of two
Americans killed in the advance to the
relief of Tien Tsin. Taels so for two
