Manufacturing Returns are
Rather Irregular.
COTTON GOODS HIGHER
Labor Troubles Continue and Delay Business i
= the Iron and Steel Indusry---ldleness
in the TtxliIs Lines If
Industry.
(By the Associated Press }

New York, June. 12.-R. G. Dun and
Company's weekly Review of Trade to-
morrow will say:
Except in those branches Of business
that are always quiet at this season re-
ports indicate a steady demand and
prices OF commodities are firmly main
tanned Manufacturing returns are irreg-
ular, idleness in textile lines partially of
setting the good effect of activity else
where. Earnings of railroads reporting
for the first week of June are only 3
per cent larger than last year and 7.S
per cent greater than in 1901, a condition
due entirely to Western foods.
'sThat furnace stocks Of pig iron in
creased only 10000 tons last month, des-
pite the unprecedented output, testifes
to the great consumption fthe steel
industry. Quotations are without alter
alton. although much business is delayed
by labor troubles. In case Of general
settlement Of these conflicts there would
be resumption of work on many buildings
and including the Requirements of rail
roads a heavy tonnage would be sought
ture that blast furnace operators are
forcing production beyond all previous
maximum figures While the demand for
structural steel has diminished, there is
notable inquiry for rails and plates. Ma
chinery and hardware lines are doing re
markably well for the season, which is
usually quiet in these departments.
Cotton goods again average slightly
higher in price, the advance being in
sisted upon by producers on account of
the raw material and in no degree at
tTibutable to increased anxiety to place
contracts on the part of buyers Aside
from a more liberal demand for print
cloth yarnu fabrics for converting and
printing purposes, there is no evidence Of
activity. On the other hand supplies are
not accumulating at the mills, owing
to curtailment of production, not only
voluntarily but by strikes and storms
Conservatism prevans among buyers of
staple woolens and worsteds. while little
interest is shown in new lines of light
weights for next spring.
Failures this week were 215 in the
United States, against 162 last year. and
in Canada IA, against 20 year ago."

TORNADOES GALORE.

Last week was prominently a
week of tornadoes. Southern Ne
braska and northern Kansas seemed
to get the worst of the deal. Much
property was destroyed and several
lives lost. There seemed to be a
succession Of small cyclones all over
The country that were angry little
wasps that did the work quite effect
ually in the territory reached.
They had their emulation in a
grand tornado Monday morning that
swept broad area Of southern Ne
braska scattering death and desruc-
tion in It's pathway, and finally losing
itself in northwest Missouri.
Twenty odd people were killed and
many more injured. Families were
scatteaed like leaves and many were
lost. The farming community suf-
fered the worst. A great many fine
homes we're entirely destroyed. One
heavy stockman estimated his loss at
s21, 900.
On Saturday Of last week an i'm.
mense rain fell through Oklahoma In
the regions Of Enid and Oklahoma
City. The railroads and bridges were
washed away and all the low grounds
inundated. So rapidly did the water
rise that hundreds Of people had to be
rescued from their homes.
Enid estimates her loss In property
at sl50,0O0.
This locality was particularly favor
ed. We got the benefit OF some heavy
showers but no particular damage re
suited outside OF the delay to farming
and other work.

Big OIL Deal.

A. e. Rider, one of the big oil oper'
ators of this city sold his interest 10
the Lincoln Oil and Gas Co. and also
his one-fourth interest in the Braoen
leases, few miles northeast OF Cha'
uute to T. P. Beach of Lincoln, ILL.,
last Friday for a nice sum of money.
The price paid for the whole thlng
is said to be S4S,75O. We do not know
whether these figures are exactly
right or not but they are said TO oe
about the consideration.
Mr.. Rider surely cleaned up nice
little fortune in the deal and Mr.
Beach got very valuable property
The Braden land is very valuable Oil
territory and will Doubtless make
fortune for the lease holders and also
for the land owner.

FRIDAY. MAY 30, 1903,
Roosevelt and Bryan.

That was a rather significant re-
mark which the governor OF Ne
vada made the other day when he
introduced the President to an audi
ence at Carson City. eff they
don't treat Bryan right in 1904, l
am going to vote for Roosevelt, "
said Gov. John Sparks. This par
tlcular official may not be known to
the country at large, but he is an
important parsonage out In his own
country. He was populist, and
an ardent supporter of Bryan. H
was one Of the four little states out
side of the old slave region which
went to Bryan in 1900.
Unquestionably Sparks in this
Roosevelt talk voices the sentiment
of a large number of the recent
Populist supporters of Bryan. Most
of the Western Populists were
drawn from the republican party.
Now that the silver issue is dead,
they are not especially anxious to
continue the alliance with the dem
ocrats. Bryan is the only tie
which binds them to the dem
ocratic coalition. If the dem
ocratic convention in 1904 "doesnt
treat Bryan right most of these
will support the republican ticket.
The chances are that the republicans
will carry every western state, any
how, so that the returning populists
will not turn the scale, but few
thousand extra of republican ma
jority in these states will be accept
able.
Some of the democratic papers
pretend that they see a menace to
the business Interests or the country
in this drift of populists to the re-
publicans. Let them talk this way
as long as they like. Business men
everywhere know that the republi-
can party is the friend of sound
finance, and that the republican
party will take care of the CO untry's
concerns. There will be no alarm
felt among sane men anowhere in
1904 if there should be drift of ex-
Bryan men to the republicans. The
dominant element on the republican
side in 1904 will be just the same
element that won the elections in
1896 and 1900. The chances are
that the republican lead next year
in the country at large will be just
as long as it was three years ago.

Piping out Gas.

There has been considerable talk In
the locality since the discovery of the
immense wells about piping gas to
other towns. Seyerel parties have
been very busy leasing territory, and
constant rumors are a1oat that a
gigantic scheme is being Matched to
pipe to this town and that.
We think it would be calamity to
the gas belt should this ever be done.
We have not been worried very much
about the matter as yet, because we
do not believe there is much likelihood
of its being done. In the first place
IL would cost an immense amount Of
money to get the gas to a city OF any
considerable size. Then the gas will
eventually be all demanded at home at
a figure that will cay better returns
on the investment than the piping
proposition.
We believe factories of various kinds
can and will be induced to come ihto
the field to use the gas. The same
amount of money that 1t would take
to lay pipe line INVESTED In manu-.
featuring would make better returns
on the money. We understand the
profit on the big pipe lines 10 the
east has not been very attractive to
capital, and that eastern investors
would prefer to put their money in
manufacturing enterprises.

Excitement at WLitmire.

A good deal of excitement was created
In the town Of Whitmire on Wednesday
last week by the attempt on the part OF
the negroes of that place to kill Mr..
Luther Darby, an operative In tho Glenn
Lowry Cotton Mill.
About 7:30 O'Clock Darby and friend,
Mr.. Tillman Cole, were walking along
the street when they met Munce Rice,
a negro who has gained for himself
somewhat Of an unsavory reputation
among the Whitmire people. Rice re-
fused to give the street and hot words
his pistol, o 45 callibre Colts, and fred
at Darby FIVE times, one Of the balls en-
tering the left arm, penetrating the left
side, and lodging In the back.
Cole drew his pocket knife and used
It with good effect upon Rice, cutting
him in theneck and in other parts OF the
b,dy. Rice fed TO his home and befoI 9
the alarm could be given had skipped
the town. There was q great pool Of
blood in the room where he he changed
his clothes, and he could be tracked
several miles hy large drops Of blood.
About FIVE miles from Whitmire he
stoppt d at the home of DR.. Settler. where
his wounds were dressed, In this con-
dition he made good his escape.
Immediately after the news Of the
shooting had become generally known
ON Wednesday night the whole commu-
nifty was aroused and started In hot pur-
suit. Sheriff Buford was telegraphed
for. When he reached Wbitmire NO
trace of the fugative could be found.

son of Mr.. NJ. B. Lee, while out
with his gun on Monday, killed a
hawk which was flying high in the
air. It measured over four feet
from tip to tip of wings. He sent
tho feet to the editor. When the
claws are extended they measure 6
inches from tip to tip. 1t was a
lucky shot as the hawk had been
killing a number of chickens around
the settlement.
We believe there have been more
hogs fattening in Union this year for
winter killing than has been known
in ten years. How hard we have
been working to bring this about.
Wonder if we have been any way in
