life Tuesday evening when they gath
cred in an individual at the corner
of Twelfth avenue and Fifteenth
street, who had been discovered ly-
ing in the ditch by a motorman on
the South Moline car. Officer Now

was taken TO the station and there
thawed out, for he was unconscious
and remained so for over an hour
and so cold that he could not move
his arms or legs. He had $40 in his
pockets.

the vacancy caused by the resigna-
ton of J. W. Warren, formerly fore
man of the foundry. Thomas Nc

BITTER FIGHT ENDED.
War Between Arbuckles and Amera.
can Sugar Refining Company
Closed by an Agreement,

Toledo, O., March 2s.-Though the
suit in the supreme court of Ohio, in
the war between the Arbuckles and
the American Sugar Refining COM
pany, has not yet been withdrawn,
that action will be taken and the Bit
ter fight between the two companies
is at an end. The exact terms of the
agreement are not made public, but
this much is known: Both will con-
tinue to handle sugar and coffee and
the price will be governed entirely
by the price of the raw material.
While there has been considerable
talk that the two lines would be split
up, the Arbuckles taking the coffee
business and the American the sugar
end of it, there is no truth in it.
Neither is DESTROYS of withdrawing
any part of it's trade and both feel
more secure to handle the two ar
ticles.
The Woolson Spice company's plant
in this city will not be closed, as has
been rumored.

sanity Thursday afternoon, killed her
six children at her home, II farmhouse
half a mile from this village, and then
tried to take .lcr own life. The chill
drcn ranged from ten years to babe
of ten months, and their lives were
taken by the mother with an ak and
a club. She laid the blood-drenched
the other four on bed In another
room, and then attempted to take her

razor. When discovered, she was
in the bed on which the bodies of four
children were lying. Although she cut
a deep cash in her throat and suffered
the loss of much blood, 1t is believed

for the deed she had committed, al
though she is unable to give any rea-
son for killing the children.

to make his wife believe that he had
any serious trouble to brood over.

REVOLT IN RUSSIA.
The Situation In Regarded ns Very
Serious-Public Ofiicinls Are
Threatened,

St. Petersburg, March 25.-The po-
litical situation is so serious that EN-
peror Nicholas held meeting of the
ministers Sunday to consider the state
of public affairs. Threatening letters
have been received by Lieut.. Gen.
kouropatkine, minister of war; M. N.
V. Mouravieff, minister of justice, and
M. Sipiagnine, minister of the interior.
Renewed demonstrations on great
scale are expected to-day. 1t is re-
ported that Prince Viazemsky has
been disgraced for petitioning the czar
to consider the grievances of the stu
dents. Lagowski, the provincial off.
cial who last Friday attempted to as
sassinate Privy Councillor Pobodonost-
Jeff, procurator general of the holy
synod, is disciple of Count Leo Toll
stoi, and he has asserted that the act
was out of revenge for the excommuni-
cation of Tolstoi.
According to special dispatch to
the Rossya, the governor general of
Kieff, Gen. Dragomiroff, has published
a riot ordinance similar to that pub
lished by Gen.-Klejgels in St. Peters
burg, and declaring that the military
will be called out unless the ordinance
is strictly obeyed.

New York. March % r. G. Dun & Co. g
Weekly Review of Trade says: '"rhe posi-
ton Of general business is satisfactory,
being marked this week by increased ac-
tivity OF retail operations throughout tho
west. and In some Atlantic seaboard cities,
which is considered the forerunner of q
generally good spring trade. New enter
prise Is reflected in the largest demand
for many months for builders hardware
and general materials and contracts for
prompt delivery of all structural goods are
very difficult to place. Collections are
prompt and railroad tonnage is well main
tanned. Eearnirgs of all railroads for the
month of March to date show gain of
l0.8 per cent. over last year, and 800 per
cent: over 1899 The gains extend to prac-
acally the whole country. The textile in
dustry alone does not improve. Short time
mas been adopted by Fall River cotton
mills. and there are reports that some of
tne southern weaving mills are about to
curtail production but this has been with
out special effect upon demand for either
print cloths or heavy brown cottons. Quo
tatlons of pig iron and finished steel tend
toward higher level. There 10 still the
wholesome element of conservatism, which
prevents violent fluctuations and keeps the
advance at moderate rate, but the
tendency of the market Is undeniably to-
ward better things.
