REVIEW OF BUSINESS.
COMMERCIAL AGENCYS TRADE
COMMENTS.
Reactionary Movement of Prices Not
Agreeable to the Tradesman- Boys
Play William Tell with Almost Fatal
ResuIts-Troops Have Yellow Fever.

Bradstreet's commercial agency report
says: Measured by recent records and
recollections Of business activity. the
present between seasons dizziness seems
specially marked, and the reactlonary
movement of prices makes trade look
worse than it really is. Judged by such
indicators as railroad tariffs and the sta
tistics of foreign trade, the volume OF
business doing is considerably larger than
q year ago. The cereal markets have
held the bulk of the advance shown last
week on the strength of bad crop reports.
The acreage remaining in wheat is little
below that actually harvested year ago,
and owing to the favorable condition IN
the Southwest and on the Pacific coast
the general average June / is better than
a year ago; but spring wheat, owing TO
lack of rain, promises much less favor
able results. The cotton acreage will be
larger, but the condition is much below
the average. lower prices for iron and
steel have not met expectations of caus-
ing reduction in output, and the latest
furnace report indicates an actually larg-
er output and increased stock. The fail
ures for the week in the United States
number $50, as compared with lS4 last
week, so in this week a year ago. 201 in
1898, 226 in 1897 and 265 in 1896. Fail
ures in the Dominion of Canada number
%, as against 20 last week. % in this
week a year ago, 10 in 1898, 81 in 1897
and 35 in 1896"

WILL IMPORT BELGIAN HAREs.

Missouri Man Goes to Europe Conn
missioned to Buy the Best.
r. J. Finley, editor of Missouri fancy
stock journal, has gone to England to
purchase several thousand dollars worth
Of Belgian hares for various breeders
over the United States. He holds COM
missions from breeders in California, Col
orado, Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, Texas and
Missouri, and several Of the New Eng
land States. He will purchase pens OF
from three to eight each for each one OF
his clients, and will pay from $50 to
$3.50 per head. The Belgian hare indus
try is rapidly taking the place of the
poultry business in some portions or
America. In England it has long since
surpassed it. The hares are raised there
for food. In America they are mostly
handled as pets. The ordinary American
can't bear the idea of killing and eating
the pretty little domestic animals. The
breeders, however, are trying to overcome
this prejudice and say that when the
people once realize their value as an ar
ticle of food the business will receive
great impetus. It is urged by the ralsers
Of Belgian hares that the fur of the AMI
mails will more than offset in value the
production of eggs obtained by raisers OF
chickens and they don't scratch up gar
dens and litter up things.

Attempt Made to Assassinate Head of
Citizens Posse Kansas College Girls

Famous War Pilot Dead.

At st. Louis Wednesday an attempt
was made to assassinate Col. j. HI. Cav
ender, in command of the citizens posse
of deputy sheriffs, while he was return
ing from the coroner's Office in company
with his orderly, Lieut.. Walter Mcken-
ma. He was struck on the body by bull
let from one of those mysterious nolseless
guns. Either through some fault of the
weapon or the distance away Of the
would-be assassin, the ball was spent
and inflicted only a scratch on the flesh.
Col. Lavender saw the man when he
fired the shot and jumped off the car on
which he was riding in an attempt to
capture him. He was followed by Lieut..
McKenna and an exciting chase in Pine
street, in the heart of the city, began.
The man lodged into brick yard and
made good his escape.

WAITING TO SEE THE CHAIRMAN.

Tn sense, the ''press bureau" is next

gospel. The bureaus relations are main

BANKER BUYS A GOLD BRICK.

William Kerr of Nebraska Learns a
Costly Lesson in Finance.
William Kerr of Hastings, Neb., one OF
the oldest bankers in the State. has been
buncoed for $4,000 by a gold brick
scheme. May 10 stranger met Mr..
Kerr at Hastings. He said he was a
friend of his cousin, Albert Kerr. The
stranger said he had discovered mine
of fabulous wealth in Old Mexico. He
asked Mr.. Kerr to go to Leavenworth,
Kan, where he had specimen OF the
gold, guarded by an Indian partner, in a
cave. There a brick was produced, a
portion of it was taken to Kansas City
and the assay showed the brick to be
worth $4,000. A second visit was made
to the cave near Leavenworth and the
brick was bought. The stranger was to
have met Mr.. Kerr at Hastings Sunday,
but he did not appear.

punishment recently inflicted on James
Wilson, renegade American prospector,
by Mayo Indians. Wilson frequently
visited the villages and finally won the
affections of handsome young girl. This
angered the Indians and Wilson fed. He
was 0vertaken and carried back. AS a
punishment for his crime it was ordered
that he be put to death by method
common with the Mayos. The prospector
was stripped of his clothing and bound
across an ant hill infested by large red
ants. After many hours of horrible suf-
fering as the insects slowly gnawed away
his flesh Wilson expired.
