FATAL ACCIDENT AT SPOKANE.
Julia Porack Of Spraeue Run Over by
Train.


Spokane. May 27.-Julia Porack,
aged 20 years, daughter of Rudolph
Porack, pioneer brewer of Sprague
was run over and killed about 1870
tuesday night at the Northern Pacific
depot by train No. 3, from the east.
She fell beneath the wheels and her
head was cut off Death was instan-
taneous. The remains were removed
to Smiths morgue. DR.. d. l.. Smith,
the corner, said at midnight that prob
ably no inquest would be held as he
believed it was clearly an accident.
Miss Porack was one of large par
ty of young people from Sprague, who
came here to see Roosevelt. Her
escort was Nat Garten, aged about
20 years, who is employed in a
Sprague dry goods store. They were
in the crowd on the depot platform
waiting to go home on train No. 8.
AS the train pulled slowly in front
of the depot the crowd surged for
ward. Miss Porack was presumably
forced so far forward that she was
struck by the cylinder head of the
engine, thrown from her balance and
under the wheels. Her neck and right
hand fell squarely on the rail, The
wheels decapitated her and crushed
the hand off at the knuckles.

Trade Report.

R. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review Of
Trade last week says: Weather con-
ditions and the labor situation are the
dominant influences in the business
world. Unseasonably high tempera-
ture at many points, especially in the
east, stimulated retail trade in wearing
apparel and other summer merchan-
disc to an unusual degree, but had a
most unsatisfactory effect upon vege-
tation, which was promptly reflected
in diminished orders for supplies, and
in some cases there were cancellations.
More conservatism was also shown in
the interior, where agricultural prog
ress met with check, and while no
serious injury to the great staple crops
is yet reported. the delay to planting
induces caution among dealers.
On the whole, there are fewer wage
earners voluntarily idle, yet the spirit
of unrest has caused the abandonment
of some new enterprises and postpone
ment of others, which means less de-

The Empire State-1daho, Charles

total amount of dividends, with ST.

Another Occur d'Alene property
which is making about the same
money as the Standard is the Mann

Standard company are heavy owners.
1t Is unincorporated, and hence its ex-
