Fitz Smashed Mr.. Ball.

Anaconda, Mont.-With a left arm
hook Robert Fitzsirnmons foored his
former manager, Clark Ball, in the lob
by Of the Thornton hotel a few min
utes after 1 O'Clock in the morning.
The blow struck Ball suarely on the
point of the jaw and he was knocked
against corner Of the desk at the end
Of the counter. His head came in VIC
lent contact with a sharp corner and
a laceration resulted. In another frac-
tion of second Ball was PROSTATE
and out. He was revived in few Sec
onds and his bleeding head bathed.
He was not seriously injured and was
apparently as we'll as ever within 10
minutes after the blow was struck.
The trouble was precipitated by the
fact that Ball has severed his connec-
ton with the Jeffries-F -Fitzsimmons
combination and signed contract
with Jack Munroe whereby the local
miner, who had stood before Jeffries
for four rounds a week ago Saturday
night, is to be the star attraction of an
athletic show managed by the former
manager of 'Lanky Bob" When the
men met tonight there was some
wrangling and Ball called Fitzsimmons
liar. Then the blow was struck.

Portland, Ore.-Complaint has been

with the larceny of $1O2S from a Mrs.
Moore and another woman living at
Mona Villa. suburb. The women had
visited Amanuds several times at his
Office, and he had gained their conf
dence. He asked the women to bring
him $500, telling them he would
charm the currency and that it would
be transferred into box Of gold of
fabulous value.
The women finally raised $1028 in
currency. which they gave to the Clair
>voyant. He placed it in an envelope,
sealed it and handed an envelope back
to them. He told them to bury the
money and not to dig it up until De.
cember %. They hurried away to their
home and buried the envelope, accord
ing to instructions. On December %
they dug up the treasure, expecting
to find huge box of gold. Their dis
appointment was keen when they
found nothing but the envelope which
had been buried. With trembling
hands they opened the envelope ane
found a bunch of newspaper clip
pings in place Of their $1028. Com
plant was made to the district at

stole Northport smeIter Gold.

Rossland, B. C.-Peter Swanson
saloonkeeper from Northport, Wash,
was arrested here on the charge Of
having stolen goods In his possession.
His arrest is the outcome of q cam
paign against a ring Of thieves who
have been stealing matte from the
Northport smelter for some time. The
matte is valued at from $3.50 to $1,000
per pound, and it is an easy matter
for men about the works to put a
pound or two in their pockets. This
has been done and the swag traded
at saloons about Northport until the
practice became notorious.
Swanson's place was well known
fence for stolen matte, and when Swan
son came to Rossland he had about
LOO pounds of the stuff, valued at $1,000,
in his possession. John s. Ingram.
chief of police, made the arrest, and
Swanson was promptly arrained on a
charge Of. having stolen goods in his
possession. He pleaded guilty to the
charge. The maximum penalty is IA
years Imprisonment. He implicated
others.

on.-Considerable opposi-
ton is developing to the ratification
Of the Cuban reciprocity treaty now
pending in the senate. 1t is not TAX
ing quite the form that the opposition
to the Cuban legislation took last
spring, but it is sufficient in substance
to give concern to the friends Of the
treaty. 34t.
From time to time as opportunity Of
fers the president is discussing the
matter with senators, particularly
those who are known to have objected
to legislation extending tariff conces-
sions to the Cuban republic. Several
weeks ago it appeared that the treaty
when presented to the senate would
be ratified without difficulty but some
senators now are taking as strong
grounds against the treaty as they
took against the legislation proposed
at the last session of congress. These
senators are of two classes, those who
are opposed on principle to any "tariff
tinkering," and those who represent
states whose products may be affected
by the concessions extended to Cuba
by the pending treaty.

40 more, occurred at 1910 o'clock at
night at Wanstead, Canada, station

raging of blizzard added horrors to
the wreck. Fortunately the entire hor-
ror was averted. A fire broke out
in the day coach, but was soon smoth-

BEST YEAR Of PROSPERITY

!. THE LARGEST YET. f r
Every Branch Of Ordinary Trade aud

New York.-Bradstreet' review OF
the business year, to be issued Satur-
day next, will have the following: sii
TO say that 1902 was the best year
this country has ever experienced,
while entirely truthful enough In the
main. does not suggest fully the enor-
nous strides which the United States
took in the year just closed. Praett
cally every branch of ordinary trade
and manufacture shows q nincrease
above the best previous years, and vet
this immense enlargement OF output
was not sufficient OF itself to satisfy
the ,growing-it might be termeq5 IN
satiable-demand for all kinds OF ma
terials. In many cases the usuaf Tor.
eign outlet for our products was, per.
force. neglected by American produc-
ers, who confined their efforts to, sup
plying insistent domestic demand.
while in others foreign production was
called upon to reinforce domestic out
put, with the result that new currents
and channels were created in our for
eign trade. Our export trade, there
fore expanded to unprecedented hg-
ures. 8. -
TIE railroads of the country, in their
efforts to handle the business offered
them, suffered as never before from
congestion and complaint of interfer-
ence with production and distribution
OF the products of the farm, the mine,
the shop and the loom was practically
universal Industrial unrest was nat
urally marked, as it always is either
in times of prosperity Or of depression,
and serious disorgarization OF some OF
the countrys basic industries resulted
for a time. In many cases resort to
extremes was rendered unnecessary
by liberal recognition by employers OF
el,anges in the standard of living, and
it is safe to say that two men obtain
ed higher wages or had their working
hours reduced without resort TO strikes
for every one who actually quit work
Speculation, it is true, felt the
checks imposed upon it by conserva
tism, by short crops in the preceding
year, and last, but not least, by high
rates for money; but despite the fact
that stock market operations were
only about one half Of 1901 bank clear
ings, those usually reliable guides OF
business showed aggregates practical
ly equal to the hitherto unheard OF
totals of 1901. All this was accom-
plifaed with minimum of friction, as
