darmes hurried up from every direc-
ton and vast crowds gathered about
the spot where the mangled body Of
the Minister lay in his blood. For 100
yards the roadway was strewn with
the wreckage Of the carriage and
pieces of the red lining of the Minis
ter's official overcoat. A few yards
from NJ. Won Plehve's body lay the
body Of the coachman
Guarded by police the body remained
in the street until the arrival of the
official corresponding to an American
coroner, even in the case of the most
powerful Minister Of the empire the
law requiring that this formality had
to be observed before the body could
be removed. After this official had
viewed the body it was placed in
carriage, covered by a robe and was
driven slowly to little chapel adjoin-
ing the railroad station and then to
Plehve's magnificent town residence,
adjoining the Ministry Of the Interior.
The project Of police notified the En-
peror Of the tragedy Immediately upon
it's occurrence. The Emperor, who was
at the villa Alexandria, at Peterhof,
was greatly affected by the news, COM
ing, as it did, after the bad tidings
from the seat of war, with fears Of in
ternational complications and the
strain incident upon the hourly expec-
tation of an event so close to the faith
er's heart.
Recent assassinations and attempts
at assassination of officials in Russia

ton, Feb. 81, 1901.

midsummer quiet pervaded the promi-
nent branches Of business and was in
tensified to some extent by labor con"
troversies, the latter being mainly hurt
full to the packing and live stock indus
tries and forcing onerous prices upon
the public. Relief from the burden af-
fecting consumers unfortunately has
been postponed, and the ranks Of the
unemployed swelled rather than dimin-
ished In other respects business ap-
pears to be sound, with the tendencies
toward improvement. Iron and steel
developments indicate a return to in
creased production and larger forces Of
workers, while better demand is seen
in the markets for general merchandise
and breadstuffs. Notwithstanding adj
verse local conditions, distribution In
the staple lines was of fair volume IN

Of accumulation and distribution in the
country show very little change in con-
ditions from those previously stated.
Actual trade is dull, normal situation
for this season Of the year.
The outlook for fall and winter bust
ness is better in some sections, notably
the South and Southwest, than it has
been for long while. Calmer judg-
ment than obtained in the beginning
has reduced the estimates of loss by
food to 100000 bushels Of winter
wheat for the four Sta tes most affect
ed. One reliable trade Journal has
issued bulletin which points to TO-
tai yield of this cereal Of 610,OO0,000
bushels, and an exportable surplus Of
nearly 145,OOO,OO0 bushels. These are
facts that have helped to dislodge some
Of the discouraging sentiments of the
recent past.
A week of ideal harvesting weather
has changed the whole aspect Of
things, and merchants are refilling or
ders that had been Cancelled on account
Of the foods. In spite Of the packers
strike, Chicago has had a week Of
marked trade improvement, especially
in clothing, shoes, dry goods and mems
and women's furnishings. Interior
merchants have shown more willing
ness to order than for some time.
With the prospect of average cereal
crops and an early and large cotton
crop the Southwest is beginning to dis
count some of the expected enrichment
Of that part Of the country. Statesmen
from st. Louis have had better trade
than a year ago. Jobbers are salts
fed with returns, which they find ex"
coed those Of recent similar seasons.
One significant fact is the demand for
a better quality Of goods. This is no.
ticeable in clothing and shoes.

cessful system was found. The method
at first used was crude, and from that
time to this improvement after improve
ment has been adopted, until now it is
practically impossible for confusion to
arise in interpreting the signals sent in
from the alarm boxes in any part of the
town, and until even the most excited
and inexperienced person can give the
alarm successfully. All he has to do is
to pull lever and an automatic machine
does the rest. Although one might not

This marvellous dyspepsia remedy will cure the worst case of indigestion. headache, dizziness or the general played out com dition that afhicts every one suffering with stomach trouble.
 Mi-o-na does not simply relieve; 1t cures. Mir. Fowler can tell you of many we'll known people in this city whom this remedy has restored to health. Of- ten after they have tried many other methods of treatment with little or no benefit.
 The best kind of advertising is the praise of a pleased customer. And there are hundreds in Montgomery to- day praising Mi-o-na because 1t cured them.
