TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreets report says: Crop and
labor conditions present some irregu-
larities, but six months trade returns
point to the fact that business has been
better than year ago and the situa-
ton as a whole shows favorable fea-
lures predominating as to the future.
The feeling is that as time passes the
latter will largely outweigh the few
notable drawbacks to possible future
activity. Unreasonable weather and
dull retail trade accentuates the usual
quietness in wholesale business and
retards crop development.
The iron and steel situation on the
ly. Large contracts have been made
for rails by leading trunk lines and
central western roads. The condition
of other finished products is better,
and even in cruder forms the feeling
is fairly firm except for foundry pig
iron. The railroad earnings are bet
ter than was earlier expected, despite
flood Interruptions in the first part of
the month, and returns for the first
week of June show a gain of per
cent over a year ago, while those for
the second and third week indicate
increases of 10 to II per cent in ex-
cess of last year.
Wool is firmer, largely in sympathy

Shamrock's First Tryout.

New York, June 2S.-Sir Thomas
Lipton's new cup challenger Shamrock
III. was given her first test in Ameri-
can waters in an informal trial with
the Shamrock l. off Sandy Hook.
In the first 10 miles of the Is mile
beat to windward in a very light air,
he new boat beat the old one about 10
minutes and in a run Of Is miles lee
ward, nine minutes.
Taking into the consideration the as
sertion of English yachtsmen that the
Shamrock l. is 10 minutes faster in a
80 mile course, than ever she was, and
fully as much faster than the Sham
rock H., the new boats first perform
ance on this side of the Atlantic marks
her as probably the most dangerous
challenger Sir Thomas has brought
over In light air and smooth water
she showed herself to be very fast
The chief purpose of the trial was to
stretch her sails and some tuning UP
process.

PRISONER KILLS PRISONER.
Uses Razor With Deadly Effect, Then
Suicides.

Hot Springs, Ark, July Jim
Dougherty, condemned to die August
IA for the murder of Chief of Detec-
tives Jack Donahue here on Christmas
day last, recently deliberately assault
ed, with a razor, and killed Roger Will
liams, a. fellow prisoner in the county
Jail, and the leader of the men ar
rested on the charge of perpetrating
foot race swindles. Dougherty was
searched and relieved of razor three
weeks ago, during his trial, and he
held Williams responsible for this &C
ton of the officers. While Williams
was STOPPING over a wash basin wash
ing his face, Dougherty approached
from behind and, reaching close under
and across his victims abdomen,
brought the razor across, making a
cash two inches long Williams was
removed to a sanitarium, where he
died. Dougherty was peering into the
cells calling for other prisoners to
come out into the corridor that he
might slaughter them, when the jail
er arrived and at the point of a revol-
yer drove him into his cell.
A mob of 500 people gathered at the
Jail and while the sheriff was pleading
with the people to let the law take its
course, a female prisoner in the cor
ridor called out through the window
that Dougherty had cut his throat. Inc
sheriff quickly investigated and found
that the murderer had taken the steel
end of his shoe strings, fiattened them
out and made a two inch incision on
each side of his throat, causing death.
The mob was allowed to view the re-
mains and quietly and quickly dis
persed.

HAS CONFIDENCE IN PAYNE.
Senator Hanna Says President Roose-
Welt is Satisfied.

THE president has absolute conf
dence in Postmaster General Payne
and has no thought that he will leave
the cabinet" said Senator Hanna re-
Gently, after quite an extended visit
to the White House. He added:
"The president is satisfied with the
work Mr.. Payne is doing, and appre-
ciates his integrity and executive abil-
ity. Mr.. Payne has no thought of re-
signing, but if he did his resignation
would not be accepted by the presi-
dent"
Senator Hanna said that it was I'M
fortunate that Mr.. Payne's health was
so poor that he could not go away and
recuperate, because his presence is
needed in Washington at this time in
the investigation of widespread post
Office scandals.
In this connection it can be stated
authoritatively that the reports that
Postmaster General Payne contem-
plates retiring from the cabinet are
untrue. 1t is well known that his
health is not good, and there is, Of
course, a possibility that he might suf-
fer a complete breakdown or that he
might be forced by the imperative or
ders of his physician to give up his
work. But at this time the idea of
retirement is not entertained by him.
He has planned out his future work in
connection with the investigation of
his department and is anxious to finish
it. The president, it is said, has given
expression to his own feelings in the
matter by saying that he would permit
him to resign only in the event that
it became a matter of life and death.

THE JOURNALS ACHIEVEMENT.

The Minneapolis Journal yesterday
celebrated its twenty-f1fth anniversary
by producing" what is undoubtedly the
most vofumfnous newspaper ever offer
ed under one. cover in the West, and
probably in the world. There are 1zS
pages in the issue and its excellencies
are so many and notable that the I'M
mense size Of the publication is quite
subordinated. The issue tells the story
of the Journal which is representative
of the history of the development or
the Northwest Mechanically and In
its treatment of subjects covering
vast scope, the Journal anniversary
number is simply magnificent. Tn
Globe very cordially congratulates
the Journal on it's success and wishes
for it a continuance of that prosperity
which has made such a testimonial OF
the capacity of the Northwest to sus-
tain great newspaper press as the
Silver Anniversary Edition possible.

seems clearly in sight. The differences
between the company and the council
have now been reduced to minimum,
and may, we think, be made to vanish
altogether. There is no particular
hurry about the matter. except for
getting the reduced price into effect

By mighty striving along lines that
are regarded as righteous on the gridiron
the strong young men of the Minnesota
football team have captured the cham
pionship of the Big Nine Conference.
Hail, to them! 1t is a pity that they
have gone out of training and can't
quite do justice to the mellifiuous
''Rah, Rah, Rah. Ski Nah" Of their
alma mater. But their fellows of the
big university did not do badly In the
matter Of proclaiming their delight and
their capacity to testify to the same in
vociferous eonsonance.
1t is a good thing for the school, the
victory of the football team in this Sc
ries of contests. 1t makes for the de-
velopment of the spirit necessary to the
success of the university. It stimu-
it will not be lost on those Of the
alumni who are prone to forget the
uSDl they owe lIlc SCiiOOl tIldt IlLlCo
them to cope with the world.
And it is good thing for the state
Of Minnesota. The university has con-
tributed very largely to the learning
Of the country. It's sons are doing all
in the van of the nations. The school
is young, but it's potency in educational
capable of turning out the best foot
ball team of any of the Western col
Fasteners who have been slow to rec
ognize the merits Of Western colleges,
will have their attention compelled to
Minnesota's big university with its
enormous attendance and great AdYan-
tages. It does notfollow that young men
who play great football will make great
scholars, but it is very certain thai, men,
who have the courage and capacity to
play such game of football as the UniL
versity of Minnesota men have played
have in them the making Of citizens
who will not fail In the game Of life.
Their strenuous example will not be
lost on their fellows. ''fF

1t can happen only by the growth OF
that sense of identity of interest and
