NELLIE FLAvIN
DEAD.
Beautiful Gunnison Girl Dies Suddenly.
Spent Winter in Grand juno
tion. Known to Many
Friends Here.

Miss Nellie Flavin, beautiful
young lady who spent the major por-
ton of the past winter in this city.
with her uncle, John d. Stapleton,
died at her home in Gunnison yester-
day at noon.
A telegram was received here this
morning by her uncle Mr.. Stapleton,
announcing her death. To the large
circle of friends the young lady made
while visiting here the announcement
was a severe shock, as she had only
left thi; city about two weeks ago in
apparent good health.
The telegram did not give the cause
of her death. making merely the an
nouncement of the sad fact.
Miss Flavin was delightful young
woman to meet and was guest fire.
quently at the Dean home where she
met many of the .city's young people.
Miss Flavin lost her father eight
years ago in an accident on the Alpine
tunnel pass and her mother died about
two years ago so that she was orphan
ed and almost alone.
What makes the death more sad is
that "A very dear brother to her was
married in Gunnison ON Wednesday
last. arriving here that night and
leaving the same night for Salt Lake.
Telegrams were sent here endeavorinl
to intercept him, but without avail.
Her uncle. Mr.. Stapleton, who is 8
we'll known engineer was greatly
announcing the young woman's death
The many friends of the deceased
in this city will hear of the occur
renee with deep sorrow.

whitewashlns Statesman.

Once upon time there was a po-
litician who. through the judicious dis
pensing of favors, had drawn to him
self many friends. with whom he
formed strong combination for mu-
tual profit.
Finally the politician was detected
in irregular conduct. and his friends
insisted on a thorough and searching
examination by a committee of their
own appointing. When the committee
made its final report the politician was
exonerated and highly commended for
his conduct.
Then, feeling more firmly in
trenched than before, the politician
and his friends added very materially

Special kilograms to the International
Mercantile Agency regarding more i'm
portant trade features are summarized as
follows:
Some concern has been felt lest the
wage reduction movement begun by pig
iron makers and in the building trades at
St. Louis and elsewhere may extend to
other Ines Merchants in staple lines
have begun to cut down orders some
what. At st. Paul and tributary terri
tory ioSbing demand is less than expect
ed, and it is thought collections may be
DELAYED thirty days. although spring
wheat thrashing prospects are rather
more favorable than last week. Country
merchants throughout the Northwest are
beginning To bold OF little.
1t is now clear that there will be a
100000. O00Jbushel crop Of corn, and
that wheat will be above an average.
This is already reflected in q better move
ment, export purchases, better supply
of commercial bills aud q drop in foreign
exchange. Cotton receipts are far be
hind last year. he southern California
bean crop is placed at 10000 sacks,
$4,000 more than last year.
Demands fer funds for legitimate bust
ness are very heavy. Banks are having
all they can do TO meet requirements.
Municipal security market is feeling the
tension. and less is doing there. The
apple crop is very large. but the potato
crop is a failure.

New York. Weekly e. : REVIEW Rsa q Trade "a.


Aside from the reduction in blast
furnace activity, manufacturing plants
are more fully engaged. and sew
eral encouraging reports are received,
particularly as to footwear Wholesale
and jobbing trade is well maintained,
many cities reporting a larger volume
than last year. Latest returns of for
eign commerce at this port are favorable,
exports increasing, while imports de-
crease as compared with the same week
last year. Railway earnings thus far
available for September exceed those of
1902 by "a per cent and surplus earn
ings IN 1901 by 1913 per cent.
II is pract eally certa.l that a reduc-
ton of pig iro- output VIII be made,
averaging about 20 per cent, and this
concerted action to prevent accumula-
ton of stocks has already had a senti-
mental effect on the market, inquiries
increasing in number and extent of tom
mage.
The week has brought few changes in
quotations. Car shortage has begun to
cause trouble, but the diminished needs
of blast furnaces relieve the situation at
Connellsville, where the coke output has
been materially curtailed.

Bradstreet's Weekly Review of Trade
says:
Mixed trade and crop conditions still
present themselves, although some inn
provement in tone is noted where crop
estimates as in the case of corn, show
expansion. Lower prices for cereals
point the way to future large business,
and induce a larger foreign interest in
our farm products. Trade reports vary
with zections considered, the best reports
coming from the Southwest, the North
west and the Pacific coast.
A really favorable feature this week
is the Improvement Of collections West
and Northwest, the reflection of the be-
ginning of the movement of delayed crops
to market.
