TRADE REVIEW.
Fall Business Begins to Expand and
Prospects for Future Are
Bright.

New York, Aug. 9.-Bradstreet's says:
Midsummer quiet has gone from distrib-
tive trade, and, stimulated by really bril-
liant crop prospects and good prices, fall
business has begun to expand. Buyers are
arriving in large numbers at all markets,
and next week promises to see Gemandfur-
Their increased. Manufacturing industry,
which has been more than usually active
this summer, continues well employed
Failures are few and liabilities small; prices
are steady. July railway earnings returns
show seven per cent. gain over last year.
Bank clearings continue to show gains
over last year."
r. G. Dun & Co., in their Weekly Review
of Trade, say: Bright prospects in agri-
cultural sections far outweigh the ad-
verse influence of labor disputes, which are
still retarding trade and manufacture
Confidence in the future is mistaken, deal
ers everywhere preparing for heavy fall
trade, while contracts for distant deliveries
run further into next year than is usual
at this date Activity has been note
worthy in lumber regions, and fish packing
made new records. Railway earnings are
fully sustained, the latest returns showing
an average advance of 39 per cent. over
the corresponding time last year, and 21.S
per cent over 1900. Aside from the fuel
iron and steel situation continues prosper
Gus.
Failures for the week numbered 1856 in
the United States, against 173 last year, and
IA in Canada, against 81 year ago.

PA HAD. HIS SAY.
And He Took Some of the style Out
of His HiEh-FIying Seminary
Spoiled Daughter.

A young woman who prevailed on
her parents to send her to one of the
fashionable seminaries underwent
social evolution inside of a year that
made the old folks wonder just
where they were at, relates the
Philadelphia Times. Her letters grew
less affectionate and more affected
with the passing of the months; she
mapped out and carried into effect
an itinerary for her vacation of last
summer that gave her exactly seven
nights at home in more than 10
weeks; her clothes for the period
cost her father nearly 5000; and her
mother. found herself principally en-
gagged in keeping track of the bloom
ing scholars gowns. When she re-
turned to the seminary in September
there was no improvement from the
parents viewpoint. She graduated,
however, with some honors, and
bounced home few weeks ago to in
form her father that she now was
ready to undertake a special course
in psychology, sociology, bib"
The old man stopped her right
there, and said:
"Now, see here, girl, we've put Up
with this sort of thing nigh onto
two years, and we've had enough.
I've no doubt you've done yourself
proud after fashion; but mother
and me has concluded that you'll
stop at home, let her have a bit of
rest, and that youth take up roast
ology, boilology, stitchology, darn
ology, washology, and general domes-
ticology-and you'd best begin to-
morrow, girl, by gettin' breakfast

days developments show 16 persons
killed and 40 injured in the freight

VERDICT is GIVEN.
Coroner's Jury Fixes Blame for XIII.
Ing of Kendall in the Shenan-
dOah Riot.

Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. S.-The cor
oner's jury which has been investi-
eating the death of Joseph Beddall,
who received his fatal injuries in the
riot here last week, concluded it's
inquiry Thursday and rendered a
verdict holding Joseph Paluwicz, a
butcher; Matthew Paulaskas, a one
armed saloon keeper, and many
other rioters unknown to the jury"
responsible for the killing. The men
named in the verdict are now locked
up and other arrests will follow.
The two men were taken into GUS
tody Thursday afternoon by two
constables, who were protected by q
platoon of soldiers from company X,
of the Twelfth regiment.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. S.-Rev.
Charles Edwards, pastor of the Pres
byterian church here, and formerly
Bible society, said Thursday that the
young men in his congregat ion, which
is made up principally of mine work
ers, have informed him that foreign
ers have determined to cut off an ear
of every man who returns to work,
so that they will forever be marked as
unfair workmen." Mr.. Edwards says
his young men are in a position to
know and he believes the story. The
foreigners think this is the easiest
method for preventing attempts to
break the strike.
Shenandoah, Pa, Aug. Brig. Gen.
Goblin Friday sent platoon of cav
airy to the mining settlement of Tur-
key Run for the purpose of making a
demonstration in that vicinity, which
is populated mostly by foreigners.

tion that the families of non-union
workmen are constantly annoyed by
strikers and their houses stoned.
The two Lithuanians who were on

week, were committed without bail to
the county jail at Pottsville on the
charge of murder. Another Lithu-
anian charged with rioting was re-
leased on $4,000 bail. 1t is understood
that large number of other arrests
will be made and more charges of muir
der will be brought. The police Off
Gals are having much difficulty in fer
reting out the participants in the
riots. The foreigners are standing to-
gether and are not volunt eering any
information.

said Thursday that the assessments
donations, he said, have been ample
to carry the strikers through until

state the amounts now being re-
ceived, on donations Or assessments.
He said that it had been decided to
give out no more figures on receipts
from these sources.
Wilkesbarre, Pa, Aug. s.-President
Mitchell ,.of the United Mine Workers,

an appeal to President Roosevelt for
the pardon of the men in Jail and this
will probably be done at once"

talked loudly, ard their comments upon
members of my party andupon me were in
sulting, to put it mildly.
"In the circumstances, accompanied as
was by the ladies, could not resent their
actions or their words at that time. They
evidently were seeking trouble, so, with
out attracting any more attention than
possible, 1 got my party out Of the res
taurant.
Then 1 returned continued Mr.. Knox,
with smile, "to see if the men really were
looking for me. l think they were, for
scarcely had 1 approached them when they
sprang up. One of them aimed a blow at
my stomach, but it failed to reach me.
1 have no idea who he was. What hap
pened to him l am not prepared to say.
Those things occur very quickly. l am
quite satisfied, however, Nhat he does not
feel as well to-day as do. You will note
that I am looking first rate"
You do not know who were in the

Charles T. Schoen, of Philadelphia, and one
of the Cramps, also of Philadelphia, were
in the party, but even of that am not at
all positive.
what actuated them do not know. A
newspaper of to-day said that it had some
thing to do with my attitude on the trust
question, but that seems to be entirely un-
likely. AS they sat at the table in the
restaurant they made no reference to the
action which, as attorney general, 1 have
taken against certain so-called trusts.
Their remarks were personal to me and
my family, and were of such nature that
l could do nothing but resent them.
Il understand that after 1 left the res
taurant at the conclusion of the diff
fculty the walters suppressed the crowd,
with some energy"
The attorney general evidently was
not in the least injured by his as
sailants, and as he chatted about the
trouble did not seem to regard it
very seriously.
Atlantic City, N. j., Aug. 9.-Charles
T. Schoen, the Pittsburg steel man,
declined to make any statement in re-
gard to the encounter he had with At
torney General Knox. He is at a hotel
but was invisible to anybody who
called and you'd not receive any mes

Trinidad, Col, Aug. 9.-The rescue
party at the Bowen mine, where a
disastrous explosion occurred Thurs
day evening, was compelled to sus-
pend work at one o'clock Friday
morning owing to fire damp. AT that
hour the bodies of II dead had been
recovered. There were at least 10
men in the mine at the time of the
explosion and all undoubtedly were

No gas has ever been discovered in

officials that the accident was caused
by a premature shot. The powder
house at the mouth of the mine con-
tanning about 1000 pounds of blast

shock from the mine and great dam
age was done to the mouth of the

ROUND ABOUT THE STATE.
Good Roads.

With the near approach of the open
ing date of the Minnesota State Fair
1T becomes evident that it is to be the
greatest of. the many great fairs so
successfully given by the Minnesota
State Agricultural Society. For sew
eral weeks the great question with
the managers has been how to care
for the exhibits offered in every de-
partment. So tremendous has been
the rush for~space that booths, tents
and special buildings will be called in
to requisition and many choice dis
play Will repose under covering of
canvas or deal boards.
The most important of the later de-
velopments in connection with the
state fair is the arrangement for a
Good Roads convention and practical
demonstration in road building on the
fair grounds during the week.
This is, in Fact. the beginning of
what will be the greatest good roads
campaign ever attempted in the west.
Everything will be on the broadcast
scale. a good roads train fitted out
by the United States Government will
come to the state fair grounds where
actual road making will be done un-
der the direction of expert road en-
gineers. A convention will be held
where speakers who know what they
are talking about will be present. The
latest machinery will be on the train
and will be used in a practical man
ner. The demonstrations will include
the making of macadam road, gravel
road and-most important of all-the
making of good dirt roads.
Everything will be practical; theory
will have no place in the work or talk.
The movement is backed by the Min
nesota Good Roads Association, by the
Agricultural department of the Unit
ed States and by the State Agricultur-
al Society. The most stupendous OBJ
ject lesson in Good Roads ever shown
will be placed before the state fair
visitors.
After the fair the good roads train
will travel through the northwest
stopping at many towns and villages
where practical demonstrations will
be given.

Work of Beavers.

'The two dams which have been
built by the beavers in the Itasca
state park are among the most inter
esting things in the park said At
torney General w. B. Douglas, who
returned recently from a visit to the
park.
''Three beavers were placed on a
creek in the park a, little over year
ago. They have been busy, though.
''The upper dam has raised the wa
ter in the creek about three feet, and
has converted the low. ground into a
small lake. The dam was built near
a small lake on the creek, and has
increased the size of the lake about
four times.
''The land is covered with tama-
racks, which will be killed by the wa-
ter, but that will do no harm.

of Forest Johnston, a resident of St
Paul, had long street car ride the
other night.
In company with his parents the lit
tie fellow came to Minneapolis in the
evening. He fell asleep during the

they forgot little Alfred.
The small boy rode to Lake Harriet
and then rode peacefully back to ST.
Paul, all the time asleep. By the time
the car returned to Minneapolis the
conductor became alarmed and left
the boy at the coop at Hennepin and
Washington avenues. He was finally
restored to his parents.

Minnesota is ranked eleventh in the
manufacture of boots and shoes by
the census experts. Minneapolis is
fifty-third and ST. Paul thirty-fourth
among cities having products of over
a million dollars. In Minnesota the
average amount of capital required to
produce a product valued at 500 is
$61.SS. In 1890 this was $500.
What will probably prove to have
been a murder came to light when the
dead body of an Indian partially de-
composed, was discovered. Charles
Harmon and John Birtels of Cass
Lake were cruising on Cass river,
when they found the body on the
bank, where it had evidently been
washed.
