TRADE CONDITIONS.

Railway Earnfnws xncrease--yvhemx
 Shows Much Strength.
 NEW YORK, April 1s.-R. c. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
 Cold and wet weather during the past week in many sections of the country retarded retail trade in spring and summer wearing apparel. Jobbers also felt the effects in Iessened activ- jty. and agricultural operations made irregular progress. Production of farm staples may not be curtailed by the later planting although in some cases there will be greater danger of loss at the end of the season through early frost. Trafflc conditions are steadily improving, yet some complaints are still heard, and further additions to motive power and terminal facilities must be made if another season of con time of pressure. Railway earnings thus far in April exceed last years by i12.5 per cent and those of 1901 by 24.1 per cent. No definite improvement is seen in the labor situation, but neither is the outlook any more disturbing, and many settlements are expected be- fore the end of the month.
 An output of over 100000 tons of coke weekly and sufficient traffic facili ties to keep furnaces supplied remove the alarm regarding future scarcity, and the situation has become more nor mal, which makes 1t possible to ascer- tain to what extent, prices have been inflated by special conditions.
 Textile mills have not received any material increase in amount of new business, and there Is evidence that the exceptionally heavy transactNpns of January and February provided sufa- cient supplies for present needs.
 Wheat has exhibited much strength, the bright prospect for winter wheat failing to check the upward tendency. According to the estimate of condition on April l and subsequent reports, there seems reason to anticipate a new high record of production. Planting of spring wheat Is proceeding fairly well, although excessive moisture still re- tards work,
 Failures for this week numbered 212 In the United States against 261 year ago and 10 in Canada compared with 24 last year

ELKs NEW HOME.
No Doubt Now But What the Local
 Lodge will Hava Naw f,,,artavs

NO Doubt Now But What the Local
 Lodge Will Have New Quarters.
 There was very important meeting or Waterbury lodge of Elks last even- Ing and much business was transacted. The report of the building committees proved surprise to the members pres ent and the progress made was very gratifying. There are four sites under consideration and 1t is possible that one or the other will be secured before the next meeting. One of the locations VIII give club rooms alone, but the To- cation Is a most desirable one An other will secure both meeting room and social quarters and is in one of the new blocks in the center. Another is m the course Of erection and the two top floors of the building will be made up for Elks exclusively, if it is selected and the building will be called the Eiks building. Still another and one that is looked on very favorably is the plIr- chase outright of a valuable piece of property in the heart of the city. This location is a secret and will not be d. vnlged unless purchase is made. Tt is really the best one of the whole lot.
 At the meeting last night, too, twenty-five Elks signified their inten- ton of attending the installation of the new lodge in Winsted on Tuesday even ing. There will be big time in that town that night as Hartford Is coming down one hundred strong to do the work and all the other lodges through out the state are sending large delega- tions.

JAIL BREAKING
Two Hard Characters Work
their Way Out of the County
Jail Tuesday Night

The two prisoners, ChaS. Long
and Thomas Reynolds, who have
been confined in the county jail
for several weeks awaiting the
action of the circuit court which
will be in session this month,
charged with the robbery of the
Albee depot some months ago,
broke out Of the Jail Tuesday
night and decamped. The men
were hard characters, and it is
believed were wanted in several
other places for similar offences
to that for which they were held.
They effected their escape by re-
moving a long bar from the iron
bedstead in their cell, using it for
a pry, with which they broke off
the iron casing on the cage door
Iapd worked hole through the
brick at the window sufficiently
large to let them through. The
wrecked door on the cage had
the great iron bars broken
Ulll OuSll NIcl = UllCy WCI CilNStCo
together, and showed that con-
siderable strength was used by
the prisoners to accomplish their
purpose. They had first made
an attempt to heat the bars on
the cage window and file them,
but abandoned that and broke
the door by main strength.
A description of the escaped
prisoners is as follows: Long is
about five feet eleven inches in
height, light complexion, grey
eyes, no moustache, with a
weeks growth of beard. Is
about 26 years of age and weighs
about 10 pounds. Thos. Rey-
nolds has sandy complexion,
blue eyes, five feet eleven inches
in height, weighs 100 pounds,
smooth face with the weeks
growth of beard, and has first
finger of left hand off at
the second joint. Both man
wore sateen shirts, dark clothes,
black hats, and had no overcoats.
No trace of the men has yet
been discovered.

suicide of Ruth Zeiglcr

The daily papers last week
tanned the following account
of the tragic ending of the life of
a young lady who some five Or
six years ago taught school in
the Garvey district in Vernon
township. We unders tand the
young lady who was in Cali
fornia with the hopes of recover
ing her health was stopping at
the time with Grant county
acquaintances, the family of S.
P. Shorrocks:
Word has been received of the
suicide at San Jose, Cal, of Miss
Ruth Zeigler of Minneapolis. Miss
Zeigler broke her engagement to a
young man in Minneapolis because
she believed she was doomed to con-
sumption, and morbid worry over this
is supposed to have been the cause.
Her body was found Monday night
in Campbell creek near Saratoga, and
as there was less than two feet of
water in the creek, there is very little
doubt but the young woman took her
own life. She went to California in
February.

The
SchOOlbOy and I
cigarette

The teacher of a public school in
Chicago found that eighty of her schol-
ars smoked from two to twenty cigar
cites a day. Six only of these boys
were able to do good work in their
classes. The victims of the cigarette
habit confessed that they were suffer-
ing constantly from head ache,
drowsiness and dizziness.
Many declared they could not write
well because their hands trembled. A
number were "shaky' when they
walked, and unable to run for any
distance, They could not rouse them
selves to meet the examination test.
The teacher reported that they were
sure to fail if asked to memorize any
thing. Several of the smokers were
from four to five years too old for
their grade, and it was found that
after they began to smoke their pro
gress ceased.
Except in three instances the schol-
ars hardest to discipline were smokers.
Truancy and theft were directly
traced to indulgence in the habit.
Boys who had reformed and joined
the Anti Cigarette Society said they
''felt like different boys" The power
and perniciousness of the cigarette
habit are revealed by this fresh testi-
mony from competent and careful
