The Upward Trend.

From this time on it may be neces-
sary, in following the commercial news
of the day, to use careful Judgment lest
one be led away from a sound, conser-
vative view of the general business
situation.
To differentiate with close distinction
between items containing evidences of
existing factors working for increased
prosperity, and others barren of any
thing legitimate, is not always easy.
Nevertheless discrimination must be
made, for coniectural reports and exag-
gerated, only partly reliable, state
r1ents, are beginning to appear.
A big bull market is on in Wall
street.
For three months it has been under
way, gathering strength, broadening,
and tending ever higher, until, this
week, it burst into speculative furore,
unlike anything witnessed since the
great bull market of 1901.
How that rise began, following
tBryan's second defeat and the re-
election Of Mckinley, is a matter Of
financial history. For it's basis there
was legitimate ground. On prosperity
argument sound and potent it began.
Gathering force it swept on upward,
and new price records were made only
to be broken again and again. Then
the public came in as never before; rea-
son fed, and the country went into the
/ greatest short-time speculative excess
ever witnessed. April 80, 1901, every
record was lost in mad rush Of bust

sales on that day reaching 3,270,884

Saturday Evening,

ing 6.23 per cent during the first week
Of October; also that the September
cotton report shows exports Of 100000
900 pounds, record breaking total, all
of which is favorable.
Mixed with this we have it that the
Pennsylvania road has bought, or will
buy the Hooking Valley; that the
rumor of the purchase of Ontario &
Western, that resulted in trading to the
amount of 100000 shares of that one
stock, in one day, is now denied.
We also learn that Wall street
clique made $500,ooo,ooo on the rise,
and against indications of heavy iqui-
dation by insiders, the street talk has
it that the members of powerful
clique are increasing the stock holdings
daily in an endeavor to obtain control
of leading railroad and Industrial COM
panies. .
The time is at hand, apparently, when
another speculative wave is about to
sweep the country. 1t is the old story
over again of the American rush to
extremes. Knowing that the country is
prosperous and the outlook favorable
for increasing commercial activity, and
that the financial situation and the po-
litical contest are free from anything Of
adverse nature, the spectators have
again taken hold for an uprush that
may not spend itself until it racks with
damaging effect upon those who are
drawn into it.
The prudent business man, following
his own, affairs in a legitimate way, has
little to fear. 1t is the man drawn
away by the stories of fortunes made in
a day that is taking chances. Specu-
lative history shows that the eleventh
hour bull usually gets the worst Of it.
It cannot be gainsaid that Mr.. Bryan is

NEWS OF THE BOOK WORLD

Only Love Makes Marriage Success
The Point to "The House of Fulfilment,"
Story Of Five Ventures In MatrImony.--
If every relation in life has its supreme
good, it would seem to need, no telling
that the supreme good Of the marriage re-
lation is love, which is both sealed and
developed by the relation. Yet that is
the point to George Madden Martins The
House of FuIfiInent-to tell by the juxta-
position Of marriages with and without
love that the greatest. Of these Is the mar
riage which grows out Of that impalpable
but indestructible thing called love. "The
House Of Fulfilment" is primarily a story
(and It is good reading, too), but the
above is the lesson one must draw from
1T if he sees even a little beneath the
surface as he would draw lesson from
any bit of life coming under his notice.

AS the women voters Of the western
states cannot be reached by free drinks
and free cigars Mrs. j. Ellen Foster, who
has done valuable work for the republic
an party before, has conceived the idea
of providing stick pins by the barrel for
the feminine voters Of Colorado, Wyom-
ing, Utah and Idaho. The political work.
ers are delighted with the idea and it
will be carried out. The women voters,
having trouble with the hammer will not
need to nail lies. They can thrust a stick
pin thru them.

A Question of Public Morals.

The Duluth News Tribune, in discuss
ing the question of mineral leases,
seems to lack all sense of the moral OBJ
legation Of public officer to deal fairly
with the public. He may play favor
ties as he pleases, so long as
he keeps within the letter of the law.
Mr.. Dunn permitted the law to be di-
rectly violated in some of the cases,
but in the notable "flatiron' lease it
was merely a case of favoritism. If
the News-Tribune is utterly lacking in
appreciation Of the moral side of the
case, T h e Journal cannot supply
such a feeling. By long practice in
defending the acts of it's candidate,
the News-Tribune IS conscience seems to
have become casehardened.
The Journal is also unable to
cope with the aforesaid organ in its
favorite tactics, such as attributing a
statement to the opposition that was
never made, and then knocking down
the straw man. No one has ever
claimed that the state lost title to the
Mabel Evans mine. If the state haG
not held title, Mr.. Dunn could not have
leased it. The state still has title, but
the sister Of Mr.. Dunn's land clerk
has the mineral rights. Land Clerl
Finn and his assistant, I. G. Patterson
have the rights to several other tracts
and did a regular business in then
while in office, but according to thu
News-Tribune standard for public of
fcers, it was quite commemorate TO-
them to look out for number one, Will,
drawing salary from the state. Accord
ing to the same standard, it was alst
perfectly proper for Mr.. Dunn to coun
tenance and permit their work.

The national land grab is working itself

The national land grab is working itself
out finely in the case Of Tibet. The
Nebraska State Journal calls attention
to the three steps always, taken. First
the invasion; second, the indemnity de-
mand; third, the practical annexation Of
the country. A dispatch from London
this week states that the Tibetans are
unable to pay the indemnity demanded,
and says that this will lead to "a pro-
longed British occupancy The rest is
easy. Look at Egypt. III j

Minnesota have raised bountiful crops
and the state is enjoying high degree
of prosperity.
One Of the great advantages Of Min
nesota as home for the farmer is the
capacity Of it's home markets and the
short haul between them and the farms.
The great iron ranges and the numer-
GUS lumber camps of the north, as well
as the cities Of Minneapolis, st. Paul
and Duluth, create immense markets
for farm produce. In some respects
these are the best markets in the coun-
try. For example, the wheat farmer
who lives in the country tributary to
Minneapolis enjoys today much high
er price for his wheat than the wheat
farmer of any other section.
Over some of the states farther west
Minnesota has this advantage, viz,
that while it is one Of the great states
Of the union, with population Of
100000 and network of more than
1000 miles of railway, it still has large
areas of comparatively cheap improved
and unimproved lands In the timber
country good land may still be had by
demonstrating or for a few dollars an
acre, and in the prairie country excel
lent farms may yet be bought for from
$40 to $40 an acre, according to location.
There is not another state in the union
that has so much cheap and fertile
land open to settlement near such large
and important markets.

Another Sam Parks has been trapped
in New York. Philip Weinseimer, presi-
dent of the Building Trades alliance, was
trapped by his own appointment with a
master plumber from whom he had ex-
torted $4,000 by threat of stopping his
work. Essig, the plumber, kept the ap-
marked bills. Weinseimer was arrested
before he could deposit the money and
the jury considered the case a clear one
So Weinseimer goes over. the road for a
paltry $1,000, while coarse boodlers like
millions on single deal and are not only
UNPUBLISHED but considered great inan-
ciers.

ONE MORE RAIN
That the People of This Valley Have
 to Be Thankful For.

Someone in the land celestial left the hydrants turned on last evening. By midnight the heavenly ditches were full to overfowing, Jupiter Pluvius hoSted the empyrean waste gates and a merry flood rushed down the Salt river val ley spillway.
 For an hour or two preceding there was a spectacular demonstration or electrical pyrotechnics in the eastern sky sufficiently far away to be safe and sufficiently near to please the eye and enlist the interest of those who love to witness the frivolities of the ele- ments.
 Then came the usual sand storm. l. would not be in keeping with the ethics of meteorological precedent, to have a rain performance here without some sort of a sand storm for an opening number And Arizona is nothing if not conventional. Even Alkah Ike never draws his gun on a woman, a cripple or an unarmed man. But last nights sand storm was rather a farce There was wind enough bus the recent frequency of showers has been rather disastrous to the dry sand supply. There was enough of it though for ap- pearances and no protests were render ed by the audience when the watery curtain dropped and rung up chang ! ing scene.
 The rain lasted for nearly an hour and came down in good volume. U was not the heaviest rain in the world nor yet the lightest but it was one of the wettest that has fallen this season and in a little while the ditches were 1 humming songs of prosperity and sev- en hundred million bugs that had pail ! The Republican office a visit earlier in
 the evening, had hunted, and found
 their holes.

Belief That Attempt at Train Wreck
 ing Was Made Near Northampton.

Northampton, Mass. Aug. 1.-The officials of the Massachusetts Central railroad are investigating an attempt to wreck a passenger train between Hadley and this place last nign- z. About three miles out of Northampton the en- gineer noticed that the air was full of splinters, and as the train was travel ing at speed of forty five miles an hour he was at a loss to account for it.
 When the train pulled into North ampton an examination showed that a railroad tie about eight inches wide and six inches thick was wedged under the pilot. It had been carried in such a way that it had scraped the roadbed for the entire distance and nad threat ened the safety of the train at every jolt.
 In entering Northampton the train crossed several tracks and switches, but the tie remained fast.

 For years eJnkins feared that bur glars would rob him of his earnings which he was afraid to put in banks. Of late several roberies have occurred near eJnkins' home and he grew very excited
 One morning last week he found this note pinned on his window: The next house we visit will be yours" Jenkins sister tried to persuade him that it was a joke. Jenkins raved all day. That night he became violent.
 It is not likely that he will ever re- gain his reason.
