COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
General Trade Conditions.

R. G.. Dun & Co.'S weekly review OF
trade says: Universal sorrow placed
calming hand on the rush and turmoil
OF the market place. Everything that
could be conveniently postponed was
put aside out OF respect for the man
whose life was devoted TO developing
the wonderful activity in all branches OF
trade and industry.
Mercantile payments continue prompt
but it was to be expected that bank eX-
changes would not show the customary
heavy gains over previous years.
Corn has met with another setback.
After passing through the vicisSitudes
OF heat and drought it was subjected to
the other extreme OF temperature. How
much injury was done by frost cannot
yet be determined, but reports were suf-
fcient to force prices to an exception
sly high point on Tuesday. 1t was not
possible TO retain the advance, and there
was evidence OF much manipulation dur
ing the movement One result of in
Aated quotations was further reduction
in exports from the Atlantic Coast to
2Go,So1 bushels, against I,5I8,82o year
ago and 3,1I8,2I5 in 1900
wheat is stronger with less specu
lative support and more actual cash de-
mand. Shipments abroad continue
heavy despite much interruption during
the past week, amounting to 4,o33,455
bushels, against 3,2To,2II last year and
3,242,764 two years ago.
Failures for the week number I57 in
the United States, against I'll last year,
aud 26 in Canada, against 80 last year"

The Clothes of England's ulc-

King Edward VII pays less for his
clothes than many wcll-dressed society
and business men in this country. His
morning suits cost $40 each. The price
was fixed by the Kings private secre-
tary, Sir Francis Knolleys These SUITS
are ordered by the half-dozen at a time.
There is also fixed price of ST. each
for his trousers. Twelve evening suits a
year at $50 each are ordered. The king
never wears any pair of trousers more
than four times, and as discarded
clothes of royalty are not allowed to
be appropriated by the Wallets, but are
preserved, there is stock of thousands
of them stored at Marlborough house.
But this need surprise no one, for when
King George w died, his clothes were
sold at public auction which lasted
over three weeks, there being no less
than 500 fur-lined coats alone. All the
present kings clothes, old and new,
have always been kept at Marlborough
house in what is known as the brush
ing rooms" several men being en
ployed to look after them. His hats for
some unknown reason are kept at San
dringham. All the kings gloves, and ne
has hundreds of pairs year, are made
by house in Brussels where mo lets
of his two hands are preserved in tie
same manner as bOOtmaker preserves
the lasts Of his customers shoes,

Europc's Wonderful Wealth of Game.

EurOpe's strict protection of game,
under which the pOacher Is punished
most severely, produces astounding
results. In Austria there has just
been published the summary of the
game killed during the past season
in the great royal game preserves. 1t
shows that there were killed 1884 red
deer, 102.042 common European deer,
0652 roebucks, 1913 chamois 1897. 1876
squirrels. 122. 191 rabbits, 11,S75 "auer-
hanne" "a bird to which our wild tur-
key bears the closest resemblance,
11,754 grouse, 1878 blackjack, L.
3S7,421 pheasants, 69,379 moorhens,
56,1GT wild geese and duck, thirty-one
bears, fOrty-nine wolves, fOrty-nine
lynx, 1920 foxes, 23,36O martens,
1907 hedgehogs, 1918 offers, 612S wild
cats, $50 badgers, 1926 eagles, 40, 1876
owls and 6S,314 miscellaneous birds
of prey.
In eighteen game drives in the COM
paratively small duchy of Stolberg-
WerningerOde 324 red deer were shot,
with forty common deer, 100 wild
hogs, FOG roebucks, $500 rabbits, one
auerhahn, 1858 pheasants, 1900 small
er feathercd game and three wildcats.
One explanation of the wonderful
wealth of game existing in these
thckly settled countries is that it is
not the law only that serves to pro.
tect the animals. Public opinion has
been nodded by centuries of rule into
an attitude that is sternly cOndem.

Ohio's Great Underground River.

Roaring wells in widely separated
parts Of Ohio indicate the existence
of a mighty subterranean river that
flows across the State at depth of
comparatively few feet below the sur
face. at least at certain places. The
latest Of the roaring wells is al Char
dor, suburb of Cleveland. The men
have refused 10 work in it, and plans
are being made to dynamite it.
The phenomena are exactly the same
as those noticed in well on the farm
Of Mrs. Amanda Ensminger, near Ma
rion. When this well had been dug
to depth of about fifty feet the roar
ing noise became alarming, and dur
ing the night the potion fell out and
left au opening into a subterranean
stream that was so swift that ii was
impossible to sound it.
The wells at Chardon are evidently
on the same underground river, for
the phenomena are identical and indi.
cate that the mighty unseen river ex
tends across the State from north to
utb.-Indianapolis News.

A MYSTERIOUS NINE.
Rich Ledge of Quartz Owned by Tws
Girls.

GIFTS.
Away up In the Medicine Bow
Mountains, not far from the Wyoming
line, there is hidden mine for which
generation of men have searched in
vain. And 1t is owned, operated and
its location kept secret by two young
women who have kept their secret
since one was eighteen and the other
but fourteen years old.
The lode was discovered sixteen
years ego by tenderfoot named
Smithers. He was ordered West by
the doctors and came to Colorado
Leaving his wife and two little girls
at Fort Collins, he went up into the
mountains to prospect. In some I'M
explained way he discovered an en-
OrmOusly rich ledge OF quartz, and
recognized its value.
Then he returned to Fort Collins for
his family, having been absent about
year. His wife had died during his
stay in the mountains, but he found
He took them up into the mountains
with him, and they lived there ever
since in the cabin he built for them.
Smithcrs cleared off Il ranch and
did little farming, got a little stock
and raised his own milk and butter
and eggs, and lived Outwardly like
thousands of small mountain ranch
men all over the Rocky Mountain re-
gion. But secretly he worked OH the
ledge of gold quartz he had discov-
cred. He broke pieces from the vein,
ground them up in a mortar PANIED
them. and got gold enough to keep him
and his children without other work
than caring for their little farm.
This life began when the children
were but seven and three years Old
respectively. When the older one was
eighteen and her sister fourteen Smith
ers died. He had taught them the
secret of the hidden mine. and when
he was gone the two orphans lived
alone in the same manner. They
locked after their little stock. tended
their little farm. and in secret ground
up pieces of quartz and PANIED the
gold from it,
The ledge must be Of fabulous rich
ness. for these two girls. neither of
them very robust and the younger
little more than child when they be-
gan, have taken out all the gold they
have wanted in the four years they
have led this lonely existence. At
rare intervals they take their horses
and a pack saddle and go down to
the nearest town for provisions. They
always have gold dust and nuggets
to pay for whatever they choose TO
buy.
II. A. Wells, timber appraiser for
the State Land Board, was in that
section recently, and secured 500
worth Of nuggets the young women
had saved up. One he is wearing as
a watch charm. 1t is great chunk Of
native gold, not melted into button.
but just as it fell from q crushed rock.
According to weight it's value would
not exceed $50, or perhaps $25. But
as fine specimen of native gold and
as a mementO of the lonely mountain
ranch and hidden mine, hundreds of
dollars would not buy it.-Denver

Tho Two-Minutc Trotter.

When it is considered that the differ
Cnce in feet required to make the
change is but ninety-seven feet or
less than four strides of a horse in
full trotting action. OF that horse
would have to gain but nine inches III
every second in order to reach the
coveted mark. it would seem that the
rate of progress would be greater, but
such is not the case. To trOt Il mile In
two minutes a horse would have to
travel forty-fOur feet a second. Ores

The Jonesboro Enterprise places a very low estimate upon the supporters of James K. Jones for reelection to the sen ate. In connection with Clarke, 1t says of the friends of Jones, they know if he gets in the sen ate he will do something" Yes, Clarke would do something. Perhaps on some quite Sabbath day he might choose to flourish his pistol and spit in somebody s face as he did once during his term as governor. Or he might try to induce the state of Arkan- sas to pay a job lot of fraudlent bonds. Those who vote for Clarke can do so with the assur- ance that he will do something = Augusta Vidette.
 The supporters of James K. Jones seem to rant quite a little bit of Clarke's pistol escapade while to our minds it only shows firmness of character, manhood and a disposition to demand his rights at all hazard. And he was employed as attorney for a north ern bank for whose interest he faithfully labored. We wonder what the editor of the Vidette would do if following the pro- fession of law and client wanted their interest looked after. If true to their calling they would do just as Clarke did in the case of the repudiation of the bonds.
 What can the supporters of Jones say in explanation of his connection with the American Cotton Company? Jones has at tempted to explain. He is a stCckholder in the company and an officer in the organization, and while it is not an effective trust it's expectations are that it will be one ultimately. When it reaches the point it's promoters desire it will have absolute con- trol of every pound of cotton bought and sold in this country. Clark if elected will surely make himself felt and will no doubt do something" for the state of Ark anSaS.

Clarke is the man to take the place.
 We favor Clark because no ring can own and no machine can control. He is firm, courageous, enthusiastic and wise. A man loved for his sound judgment and conservative views. His patriot ic devotion to the masses, his tirmness to stand up for and de manding his rights are needed. We need new blood in the senate.
 As time passes in it's flight, conditions change, new issues arise and new men grow up with them, and when possessed of the highest physical and intel lectual vigor should be called upon to contend with them.
 Change is the order of the day. Jones has been in office long enough and should take a rest and give someone else chance at the "pie. "
