OF CdntrelI, the In
dianapOliS Fiend.
He Names Kenneth Law
renee, as One Of Many
Who We're Murdered by Z
Band Of ASSdSSinS.

When the report came from In
dianapolis, a few weeks ago, that
Cantrell, the ghoul, said Kenneth
Lawrence had been murdered, we
could not be satisfied that his story
was not true, because so many of his
confessions had been verified.
Now we have news that Cantrell
and one of his confederates, Samuel
Martin, have made a confession that
they belonged to gang of assassins
who during the past three years had
killed many people to rob them or to
sell their bodies to the medical col.
colleges.
An Indianapolis dispatchO to the
State Journal, dated Sunday says,
"The police are now in possession OF
facts that will prove that not less
than twenty murders were COM
mitted by this organization in less
than three years." The police were
securing the city, Sunday night, to
arrest persons implicated, and start.
ling developments are expected.
A list of some of those whom Can
trell confessed had been murdered
included the name of Kenneth Law
renee of Ohio. This was given ou,
Saturday. but 1t was afterward said
was not true list, but was given out
| to mislead.
Further developments will be await
ed with much interest.

TRADE PROSPECTS
LOOK FAVORABLE
Transactions in Many Lines
Show Increase In Volume
Over Last Year.

r.. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of
trade says:
Trade advices from nearly every
section continue to show as favorable
conditions as a year ago, and in many
lines the volume of transactions has
been increased. Jobbers report fall
business opening with excellent pros
poets, and manufacturing plants are
well occupied with the exception of
cotton mills.
Distribution of merchandise is is so
heavy that railway equipment al
ready proves inadequate, although
crops are not the factor that they
will be in a few weeks. Earnings for
July exceeded last years by l2.7 per
cent and those of 1901 by 20.2 per
cent.
On the whole, news from the farms
is less favorable. but no serious cur
tailment is assured and many sections
make very bright reports.
A decline of Is per cent in the cost
of commodities during July is evil
dence that prices are less inflated,
since the change was mainly in meats
and other food, which have been rul-
ing at an abnormal position.
Consumption of iron and steel is on
a large scale, and in many depart
ments of the past week has witnessed
the signing of numerous contracts,
but there is tendency to delay pur-
chases beyond early needs. The rate
of Consumption and the moderate
size of orders, however, indicate
that stocks are running low, which
encourages furnacemen and mill oper.
ators to hold quotations fairly steady
More pig iron was imported during
July than anticipated and German
billets are still offered at Pittsburg,
but the domestic makers announce
their intention of meeting foreign
competition.
Healthy conditions continue in
footwear.
There were 17S commercial failures
this week in the United States
Iagainst 100 last week, l9l the preced,
ing week, and 1856 the corresponding
week of last year.

THE PRICE
OFFUELCAS.

In the main, we agree with Mr..
Buchanan, in his report, in what he
says about the fact that the gas
works should pay their own wav.
But in fixing the price of gas. justice
should be done the consumers, who
pay all the expenses. Our own bill
for Illuminating gas, is much larger
than for fuel gas-more than double
so that we are not arguing from a
selfish standpoint, when we advocate
leaving the price of fuel gas where
II was, and against lowering the
price of illuminating gas.
We believe that after the new
holder is put in, gas can be made
at 4 profit, without any change in
prices.
First It should be remembered, that
the works fell behind, because they
had to carry the electric light
plant; not because they did not
pay their own way. Second
there has been a reduction in salaries
and this will reduce expenses. Third,
the new h older will reduce expenses
and supply more gas, and the income
will be increased, or the public has
been misinformed; and we do not
think they have. Fourth, people
were informed that they would be
furnished gas for fuel, at actual cost.
This was done to accommodate the
most citizens possible, as all were
taxed to build the gas works. Mr..
Buchanan's report shows that the ex.
pertinent was success, for double as
many people use fuel gas as use illum.
mating gas. This, therefore is the
thing to do, to accommodate the
most tax payers. To now increase
the price of fuel gas, without any
necessity, is to deal unfairly with
those who have put in stoves to use
fuel gas
Mr.. Buchanan's table shows that
the original proposition was correct,
towit, that fuel gas has been and can
be furnished at 80 cents and not add
cent to the cost of furnishing illu'
minating gas. Here are the figures
"We manufactured 1894, 300 cubic
feet of gas at total expense of 81,
225, making An average of 6l.4 cents
per thousand cubic feet. To itemize
this expense we present figures here.

Democratic County
Convention.

The Democrats held their county
convention Saturday. There was
perfect harmony. no pickering, the
program was carried out without a
jar. In other words the slate went
through without a scratch. AS the

lasted less than hour, and was a sea
son of undisturbed harmony"
The ticket nominated was as fol-
lows:
Commissioner-Ira Gwynn.

Not one of them is of good old
Democratic stock.
The Executive Committee is the
same as last year, towit: VIM. r.

Now a little observation will show
that Mr.. Buchanan's figures prove
the truth of our position, not of his:
When the price for fuel was fixed
at soc, il was said, that to give more
tax payers the benefits of the gas
works, the price would be fixed at
what it would actually cost to make
and deliver the additional amount of
gas that would be required for fuel.
Bearing this in mind, 1t will be seen,
that If no fuel gas were made, the ex-
pense of Mr.. Buchanan's first seven
items. e336, would have to be incurred
they are not made necessary in or
der to furnish fuel gas-and that
one-third of the last four items,
s239. should not be charged up to
fuel gas. The cost of these items
s575, taken from the total of his
figures, si225, leaves only $3.50 proper
ly charged to fuel gas-the actual
expense of making it. The income
from fuel gas has been s666.66
Therefore, at his own figures, fuel
gas more than paid the actual ex'
pense of making it.
One or two other facts should no,
be overlooked Cheap fuel gas in
creases the number of consumers Of
Illuminating gas. People who put
in pipes for fuel gas viii often use
Illuminating gas. Putting up fue
gas may-doubtless will-cause some
to stop the use of illuminating gas
in order to retain the use of fuel gas
Therefore, as fuel gas pays its way
the accommodation of the most ia,
Ipayers, and good faith towards thos'
who have put in stoves to use fue
lgas, would indicate that the pric
of fuel gas should not be increased.

A Great Improvement.

The Hamilton street entrance to
the fair grounds is completed, and is
a great Improvement. The fill is
high and wide. the grade very easy,
and the entrance to the Fair ground
most desirable. The entrance enters
to rear of the poultry house and the
exit is near the north end of the am
pitheatre. 1t brings the Fair
Grounds square or two nearer the
center of the city.
A good railing ought to be put up
on each side of the road, where II

Accidental Shooting.

Mr.. P. G. Wynegar, one of the East
End grocers, a man of some rs years,
was accidentally shot. Friday after
noon by boy, Mack Roof, a SON of
Mr.. Arthur Roof. Mack and another
boy were examining a Flobert rife.
and Mr.. Wynegar, had just spoken a
word of caution to them, when bang
it went, and the ball entered Mr..
Wynegar's side, and travelling around
just under the skin, came out about
six inches from where it entered, in
fiictipg only flesh wound.
A physician was summoned over
the phone, by the phonogram that
a boy had shot Mr.. Wynegar, and a
policeman, a reporter and a physi-
clan, went to the rescue, only to find
that they had little to do.

RESULTS OF
THE BEAL LAW.
Five Hundred and Thirty Saloons
Out of Business By "DryS."

E. H. Cherington, assistant super
intendent of the Ohio Anti-Saloon
League, has complied statistics from
parts of the state where Beal law
elections have been held and his
statement in part says:
The first town in the state to take
advantage of the Beal law was Beth
el, Clermont county, which voted
against the liquor traffic, May 5, 1902.
Since that time 2l0 municipalities
have voted on this question, and of
this number 13l have voted dry and
76 wet, and in three instances the
vote has been a tie. OF the 76 towns
which voted wet only five were dry
before and only q saloons have been
brought into existence; while on the
other hand, in the towns that have
voted dry, about $50 saloons have been
put out of business. The largest
number of saloons voted out of any
one town was in Collinwood, where
the number was AZ.
In Ashtabula, city with a popula-
tion of l2,949, los saloons are main.
tanned, notwithstanding the fact
that the city went wet by less than
$50 majority. The above figures dc
not, of course, include townships. bu,
suffice it to say that in the l,3l
townships of the state the sale OF
liquor is prohibited in more than $50
At the present time there are 9,77l
saloons in the state, while in 1878, al
the time of the new organization OF
Anti-Saloon League when the popu
Ilation of the state was smaller thar
it is now by at least half million
