COMMERCIAL REVIEW.
Gene ral Trade Conditions.

R. G. Dun g. Co.'S weekly Review
says: Voluntary increase in wages oy
some of the largest railway systems IN
the country bear eloquent testimony
to the amount OF business handled IN
the past and emphasize the confidence
Of officials in continued heavy trafflc.
Moreover, by this addition OF large
s.:ms to the purchasing power OF fail,
way employees there is assurance OF
y larger demand for all staple lines OF
merchandise. Temporarily, sales OF
seasonable lines Of wearing. apparei are
retarded by mild weather, but this loss
will be fully made up when low temper
aturc becomes general.
Preparations for holiday trade are
on an unprecedented scale, especiaiiy,
at interior points. There IS no relleI
as to the congestion OF railway traihc'
nor any immediate prospect OF tree
movements at the points OF most seri-
ous blockade. Coal freight is steadily
gaining, and all railway earnings thus
lar reported for. November exceed last
years by 50 per cent. and those OF 1900
by $50 per cent.
Orders are now coming forward Tor
iron and steel products that have been
held back many months in expectation
OF an easier market Instead OF max
ing concessions. however, producers
ask premiums for early delivery and
hesitate to accept contracts where ma
terial and fuel are not in sight. No
relief is reported as to the movement
OF coke, nor is any anticipated for
some time to come; in fact, one author
ity suggests that the situation will not
be normal before April Imports re-
lieve some departments OF the industry.
Plans for constructive work are now
increasing, and a very large tonnage
OF structural material will be required.
AS the present congestion is due to in
adequate facilities the most important
inquiry is for railway equipment.

always served by the same waiter. The
waiter hid become accustomed to the
order, and Logan to feel that there was

two occasions she had failed to heed
the warning and suffered unpleasant

She was playing out OF doors the

of distant thunder. She dropped every
thing and scuddled into the house, but
the rain failed to come. After waiting

There Is more Catarrh in this section OF the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to
be incurable. For great many years doctors
pronounced 1t local disease and prescribed
local remedies, and by constantly failing to
cure with local treatment, pronounced it in
durable. Science has proven Catarrh to be
constitutional disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney d Co.,
Toledo, O., Is the only constitutional cure on
the market. 1t is taken internally In doses
from 10 drops to teaspoonful. 1t acts direct

been deserted by his wife and ten-year-old
daughter, who took half of the household
goods with them. leaving him alone in his
three-room cottage in the extreme south
eastern portion of town. Hasting was for
merly a teamster and worked steadily.
Two years ago his mind failed and total
blindness followed. In short time he was
violent and was admitted to the Richmond
asylum. In few months his mind had
been restored, but the eyes remained sight
less. After being discharged from the
asylum he returned to his family here and
he and his wife have been doing num-
Der of family washings since that time to
earn a livelihood. Two weeks ago Mrs.
Hasting left home and with her went their
ten-year old daughter. Mother and child
returned last evening and told her almost
helpless husband that she was going away.
The furniture was divided placed in
wagon and they drove away in the dark
ness. Friends and neighbors have taken
the unfortunate man in charge and are
supplying his immediate wants. The des-
tination of Mrs. Hasting is unknown, but

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. 6.-The first

fact that South Bend is the largest city

to do with the result. The attendance for
the week was about $4,000 people. The
financial benefit to the South Bend Lodge
OF ElkS, which managed the affair, will be
from s., 600 to $4,000.
The South Bend Lodge is the largest
in Indiana, and one of the largest in the
West, having over 500 members. 1t has
decided to erect ElkS' building and the
carnival just closed was given for the pur-
pose of adding to the building fund A
square bounded by Division, Carroll Mon
roe and st. Joseph streets was fenced in
for the carnival attraction and booths were
erected on each side of st. Joseph street
from Monroe to Division. These booths
were used by merchants and others for
displays and for the sale of various ar
ticles.
The interest taken in the event by mer-
chants and others was shown by the decor
atoms in the business districts and in the
residence section adjacent to the EXPOSE
ton grounds. Twenty-one electric arches
containing many hundreds of incandescent
electric lights, were erected on Michigan,
