The farmable agricultural interests
have been strengthened the past week
by considerable rainfall and pros

improved. No disturbing feature OF
Importance has been reported thai

in general continues good throughout
the state.
In wholesale lines there has been
the usual distribution in Burlington,
and collections are fair. Lumber con.
tinues firm in price and the demand,
both in wholesale and retail lines, ap.
pears to be good.
At Bennington there appears to be
a falling of IN demand for some lines
Of knit goods, condition due, it is
thought, to overproduction and some
inactivity is noted among the mills,
with consequent slight effect on re.
tail business. Collections, however,
are reported good.
Rutland reports manufact lring bus.
iness active. The large marble inter-
ests, central In the vicinity, are very
busy and prospects encouraging, with
retail trade fair and collections good.
Business is seasOnably dull at New
port and conditions are much as usual.
This holds good for Bristol, except
that collections at this point are re-
ported somewhat slow: some appre-
hension for late crops, which was felt
locally, has been relieved by heavy
rains, which insures better harvest
ing:
Business conditions at Brattleboro
in practically all departments, are re-
ported fair.
The granite business OF Barre con:
tinues active, Scareidy of labor being
felt.
Montpelier reports business good,
labor is Well employed and condi5i
in various lines are favorable.
AT Hardwick there appears to be
about the usual business IN the gran.
ite sheds.

WOMAN INJURED

until this morning. All the physicians
in Bloomfield have worked with her
necessarily since the accident, and
while she is somewhat better this
morning, they are unable to determine
ii she will recover or not, but the
chances are greatly against it. Her
body is badly swollen, and it is for this
reason that the physicians are unable
to determine the exact extent of her
injuries.
DR.. Kemble is graduate of the Keo-
kuk Medical college and is one of the
best known physicians in southern
Iowa. She has been located in Bloom
tleld for about ten years, and has a
large practice in Davis county. She
has no relatives in that city.
The remainder of the passengers
We're not badly injured and beyond a
few days being layed up with their
bruises are none the worse for their
thrilling experience.
The train is the fast freight and was
running at about the regular rate OF
speed 1t is down hill from the station
at Bloomfield to about a mile this side
from where the accident occurred and
for this reason very fast rate OF
speed can be attained in few nom
ents. Conductor Clark, was in charge
OF the train with Engineer Baker at the
throttle. The regular crew from this
city, which makes the run on week
days was not out yesterday, the crew
in charge of the train being from the
Moberly division.

in REBELLION.
Chinese in Northern Provinces Have
Risen-lnformation Authentic.

Risen-informatio Authentic.
Peking, April s.-Rumors current
during the past few days of rebellion
headed by General Tung Fuh-Sian.
former commander of the northern
army, in the provinces of Mongolia and
Shen-Si, are absolutely authenticated.
Lii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
have received information on the sub
ject which, tho indefinite, still proves
that the court is seriously alarmed.
General Flu Sian was, according to
last reports, about $50 miles from the
court with 1900 regular troops, all
supposed to be devoted to himself.
The court has about the same number
of soldiers at Sian-Fu, but it is suppos.
ed probable that the troops of Tung-F',l-
Sian are better drilled and better arm-
ed
1t is believed the Mongolian rebel
lian was brought about thru the agents
of Prince Tuan and General Fu-Sian.
Ii Hung Chang thinks there are
about 5000 regular troops in Mongolia
and inclines to the belief that they
have not joined the rebellion He
does not think the court is in any dan
ger, and thinks the object of Prince
Tuan, who was last reported at Ningh-
Hsu whit 10000 men, is prepared to re-
sist arrest, and General Fu-Sian is to
create diversion of interest in order
to force unconditional protection to
themselves.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
"Long and Short HauIs" by Railroad
Companies in Court.

Washington, April Sin the United
States supreme court today an opinion
was handed down by Justice White in
the various cases involving the long
and short haul clause of the interstate
commerce law. The principal opinion
was rendered in the case of the East
Tennessee & Georgia Railroad COM
pany, which charged lower rates on
freight carried to Nashville than
il charged on freight to Chattanooga,
the distance to the first point being
greater than to the latter. Decisions
of the interstate commerce commits
sion, the circuit court, and the circuit
court of appeals are all antagonistic to
to the railroad company, tho on differ
ent grounds. The opinion handed
down today reverses all these deci-
sions and was in favor of the railroad
company, tho without prejudice.

Bears Execute Attack On
Bulls This Morning.
CREATED EXCITEMENT
Market Almost Thrown into convul-
sions-Bears Make Handsome Prof
its on Quick saIes-Tone is Nervous
Altho Market Is More Quiet.

New York, April S.-An organized
bear party of stock operators executed
a we'll planned raid upon the market
this morning and upset many top heavy
speculative accounts, wiping out mar
gins and uncovering stop-loss orders,
which dislodged an avalanche of
stocks and enabled the bears to realize
quick profits ON handsome scale.
Stocks Depressed.
Within few minutes of the opening,
Rock Island sold 11M points below the
top price of Thursdays excited mar
ket. Burlington lost an extreme 3M;
New York Central and Manhattan 3A
each; st. Paul 3, Delaware & Hudson
5, and Colorado Fuel Sh. A large
number of the principal active stocks
We're depressed from 2 to 3 points
Excitement Intense.
The market was thrown into intense
excitement. Spectators became high
ly nervous and sold stocks in fear of
the final elimination of great bull
movement, which had long been fore
IOlu, udu dIIlSSu. NSduWliliS, SUI
cessful bears began to buy in stocks,
satisfied with the quick profits yielded
by their sudden raid. There were vio-
lent recoveries reaching from to 31I
points in many principal stocks. The
recovery was aided by an upward
squirt of sugar of 8 points.
This morning stocks made violent
recovery from their recent weakness,
the common rising points and prefer
red 51s points, and then reacting. The
market quieted down considerably af'
ter the causes of the decline were per
ceived, but the undertone continued
nervous and feverish. There was nc
aggressive disposition shown to follow
up the rally.
Cause of the FURRY.
The decentralization at the opening
ing was due to the accumulation Of a
number of unfavorable factors during
a triple holiday, the principal being
4 the depletion in the bank reserves
by Saturdays statement.
