NO FEAR ON GALLOWS.
Charles e. L. Henderson, Hanged at
Duluth, Mimi, Gives Roses to
the Deputy sherins.

Duluth. MINI, March 7.-Cahrles Z.
J.. Henderson was hanged at two
o'clock Friday morning after one of
the most superb displays of nerve ever
seen in the state of Minnesota. With
out showing a trace of emotion the
prisoner was brought into courtroom
No, /, where he had been tried and SEN
fenced. and where the scaffold was
erected, at 1925 o'clock. Henderson
first presented Sheriff w. w. Butchart
with Testament and handed roses to
each of the deputies, thanking each in
few words for the kindness shown
him while under their care. After talk
ing about 80 minutes and expressing no
sorrow for the deed, he held his hands
behind him for the cuffs, and the black
cap was adjusted and the trap was
sprung.
The crime for which Henderson paid
the death penalty was the murder on
June 81 last of Ida Mccormick. He
had gained entrance to her rooms I'M
known to her and secreted himself in
closet. While there he overheard
Miss Mccormick declare that she loved
him no more and that another had en-
tered her affections. Suddenly he burst
through the door and with huge
knife in his hand plunged it into the
woman II times, death ensuing almost
instantly. The crime was one of the
worst in fhe annals of northern Min
nesota.

TRADE REVIEW.
Business Ahead Of Last Years Record
and IL Growing sdli
Better.

New York, March 7.-Bradstreet's
says: Business is ahead of last year
and still expanding. This is indi-
Gated by the generally good reports
received from eastern and western
trade centers, and Is confirmed by
largest on record February bank
clearings and simply enormous gross
railway earnings returns. Southern
trade and crop preparations are
dulled or retarded by heavy rains and
rising rivers, but it is to be noted
that despite this influence receipts of
cotton are heavier than year ago
and had some influence in bringing
week. Special activity is noted by
jobbers in all lines of wearing APP
parel, dry goods, clothing, shoes, mil
linery, hats and caps, and retail trade
in these lines is also expanding. Ac-
tive preparations for heavy sea-
sons building are indicated by a
large demand for lumber, light and
heavy hardware, paints and glxss.
There is also stronger tone to iron
and steel"
II. G.. Dun G. Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says: Further improve
ment in the movement of freight and
fuel makes the general situation
more favorable, although shippers
are still constantly complaining and
pig iron furnaces are not able to
run steadily. Numerous labor strug-
giles also interrupt manufacturing,
yet mills and shops are producing
freely as a rule. Jobbers and whole
salers are busy, while spring retail
trade has opened very well in many
lines, notably wearing apparel. Per-
mits for building operations show
large gains over last years figures,
giving additional strength TO lumber
and other materials.
Failures this week numbered 900
in the United States against 176 last
year, and 16 in Canada, compared
with II year ago"

GREAT many remedies to
temporarily relieve catarrh


- have been devised from time to
time, such as sprays, snuffs, creams and
other local applications, but, as rule,
the medical profession has little or no
enthusiasm in the treatment of cat arrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them
to be incurable.
1t therefore created great sensa-
tion in medical circles when DR.. Hart
man announced that he had devised a
compound which would cure catarrh
permanently.
The remedy was named Peruna and
in short time became known to thou
sands of catarrh sufferers north, south,
east and west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc
runa is a radical cure for catarrh began
to pour in from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are on file
in the Office of The Peruna Medicine Co.

BANDMAsTFRs AND COOKS.
Examinations to Be Held by the Civil
Service Commission.

The civil service commission has some
very important positions to fill and is scour-
ing the country in search of persons who
may be possessed of the talent and natural
ability to secure for themselves places on
the far-fa med eligible list The United
States government wants to hire two band
leaders and instructors to teach the Indian
how to put the muse of his soul into har-
monous form and to express 1t in a manner
not calculated to Brighten bystanders or
the ne ghbors; and the United States also
wants to hire a number of cooks. The band
leaders and instructors are to be stationed
at Chilocco. Oklahoma, and at Phoenix
Arfz. No educational test will be required
for these offices, it being supposed that in
quiry into the professional standing of the
gentlemen who apply will be sufficient to
establish their eligibility.
There VIII be an examination November
II as to their training and experience how
ever. 1t is not known just how the exam
ination will be divided or what portion of
the civil service is supposed to be expert in
music.

SOUTH AFRICAN TRADE.
Credit Given to England When 1t
Should Be to America.

Erroneous statements that have emenated
from the statistical year book OF Natal,
South Africa. have been corrected by the
central bureau for the preparation OF COM
mercial treaties with the result that Amer
lea is given full credit for expectations to
South Africa that never before appeared In
the lists. The correction has been sent to
the Department of Commerce and Labor
nv Deputy Consul General Simon w.
uanauer stationed at Frankfort, Germany,
and whose report says, in part:
THE importation of cheese from England
is put at sl4S 900 in value and from America
at $3.50 1t would be more correct to re-
verse the table. The given amount may De
oorrect as representing cheese coming from
ENGLAND but the article is an American
product shipped originally to England.
Imports of cordage to the amount OF
70 591 pounds is credited to England and
onIv lbs pounds to America. This is I'M
doubtedly an error as far the country OF
original manufacture is concerned.
..Furniture to the amount of S3,15S pounds
&c caid to be imported from England and
but 1889 pounds from the United States.
These figures are all the more confounding
as American furniture is the leading article
of every country store in the colony, ana Is
also largely dealt in by city stores.
