We are having some snowy wealth
er at present.
Health ls generally good in our
locality.
Tom Frank Ross is very low with
typhoid fever.
Van Fry, who was operated on
about the Goth of January, is still
living, but the physicians say there
is no chance for him to recover.
The protracted meeting at Crock
EFT has closed. The church members
should wake up TO sense of their
duty and come out 10 the church and
have prayer meeting every Wednes-.
day night.
James p. Mills'is still in the tie
business. He is getting about SO
day made, but f. M. Stiltner is
beating him. He Is getting from
rs to 50 per day made. If the boys
keep on making till Spring they
will have quite lot of ties to haul
next Summer.
H. M. Stiltner, Road Commits.
sioner for Union District, went be-
fore the County Court last week
and resigned his Office.
1t seems strange that Mr.. Dead
Head az he calls himself in the
Wayne News, has just recently
found out that the post-ofiice at Crete
has been moved from Fraley's old
stand TO 5. +. HatteD's store. 1t has
only been moved five months. He
says a Democrat rs not allowed to.
keep fourth class post-oflice. DO.
you suppose the Wayne County
Court would appoint man for Road
Overseer If they knew he was Re-
p blican?
We heard a red hot Democrat say
the other day that times were not
like they used to be. Well, we guess
not. 1t used TO be, and not many
years ago, when Coxey's army, idle
ness, starvation and free soup houses
were as common az light nights and
the full moon Now these things
are not 10 be found. No, times are
not ke they used TO be and you
may thank the Republican party for
it.
Now give us p. II. Napier for
Judge, James Hughes for Congress
and the entire ticket from top to
bottom.

Importance. Some strength was dis
played early on rains in the north
west and on the effects of bullish crop
reports received yesterday and some

the market declined about 7s from

recovered a portion of the loss and
closed steady but near the low point.
Corn - The market was inactive,
moving within a narrow range and
prices at the close show very little
change from yesterday. The market
acted heavy at times In sympathy with
wheat, but locals bid prices up again,
taking fair quantities of July and not
selling much. Scaipers put out a
majority Of the corn sold
Oats - Local traders were moderate
scalpers for July oats and owing to
absence of demand this delivery shows
a small decline while others are about
steady. There was only a small in
terest at work in the market. Some

HAM. POTTER CASE.
1t Will Be Set for Trial Next Satur,
dav

Dubuque, May THE celebrated
breach Of promise suit, which Sarah
Ham, of this city. has brought agains.
George Potter, the millionaire lumber
man of Duluth. has been set for trial
on Saturday next in that city. In her
petition, which was published in this
paper some months ago, the plaintiff
alleges that her gagement with Pot
ter has been running for number OF
years. and that, when the time came to
fulfill his promise he refused to marry
her. Potter was a frequent visitor to
Dubuque until q few years ago and he
stopped with plaintiffs father, the late
Matthias Ham. whenever he came here.
Miss Ham alleges in her petition that
Potter is WORTH at least 100000, but
he denies this allegation and claims
that he is not worth more than s150,000.
She brings suit to recover the sum of
500 000 Potter is between So and GO
years of age and the plaintiff is be-
lieved to be about so. He has been In
the lumber business for many years.
and there are those who say that he is
millionaire. There has been so much
said about this case in the Duluth and
other Minnesota papers that there is no
doubt it will attract a great deal OF
attention when it comes up for trial. 1t
Is understood that the plaintiff has a
large number of letters which We're
written to her by the defendant, in
which he processes his love for her. 1t
1t is understood that Dubuque attor-
ney has been retained In the case.

BETTER RETAIL TRADE
Too Late to Recover Much of
the Injury to Spring
Trade
THE GENERAL OUTLOOK FAIR
Increased Percentage Of Idle Factories
Slight Decline In Commodity Prices
For Month of ApriI-Fuel Conditions
MISUNDERSTANDING Of Excessive
Commitments Will Reduce Failures.

| New York, May 7.-R. G. Dun &;
| Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
Somewhat better retail distribution
has followed the improvements In tent
perature, but it came too late to re-
cover any large part of the tardy sea-
sons injury to spring trade. Quiet
conditions are noted in practically all
lines of wearing apparel, with the ex-
ception of specialties, such as tan
shoes, that cannot be delivered with
sufficient rapidity. Operations for flu
ture requirements as a rule are carried
on with caution, and this disposition
to avoid excessive commitments will do
much to reduce the number Of fail
ures.
The percentage of idle factories has
increased, especially In textile and foot
wear. Structural work is increasing
but dealers had accumulated large sup
plies of building materials and prices
lack seasonable firmness. Commodit.s,
prices declined slightly during April.
Railway earnings in April were 5.3 PEI
cent less than last year.
Recovery in the iron and steel in
dustry is again retarded by the uE-
expected dissolution of the ore asso-
citation. Prior to that event there was
increasing confidence in the stability of
quotations, the railways were at last
seeking rails in moderate quantity and
fair activity prevailed in tin plate,
sheet, pipe and wire products. Some
contracts had been actually placed for
castings to be used on the Pennsylvan-
la railway tunnel, and negotiations
were completed for the sale of the
Clarion Steel Company. In fact, the
only serious menace to steady improve
ment was a number of troubles at
shipyards, machine shops and boiler
works.
Fuel conditions are unchanged, an.
thracite continuing active. while colss
and bituminous coal are dull and
weak
