ter Outlook for Breaking the
Deadlock-Candida and
Delegates Go Home.

Springfield. ILL.,, May 21.-The repub-
lican state convention, after brief ses-
sion Friday morning, took a recess un-
til Tuesday. May 81. The last ballot
1.-THE bSth) was substantially the same
as most OF the ballots since the begin
ming Of the deadlock, Yates being In the

enough to nominate him. The ballot
stood: Yates, 4s3; Lowden, 3921z; De-
neen. 1854; Hamlin 113; Warner, So;
Sherman, 46; Pierce, 20.
At the conclusion of the ballot Sen
ator Gardner, Of La Sale, moved that
the convention take recess until May
81, at two p. m. There were protest.
ing shouts of mo, no." Chairman Can
non put the motion to viva voce vote,
but the vote was SO uncertain that he
said: THE chair is unable to decide.

was then called on the question of a
recess. resulting: Yeas. 1,414; nays, 49,.
Leave for Home.
Candidates and delegates lost no time
getting out Of town. Lewden, Deneen,
Warner and Pierce took early afternoon
trains for their homes. The candidates
before leaving all expressed themselves
as being we'll satisfied with the recess.
It seems to be the general opinion that
there Is no advantage or disadvantage
In 1t for any Of them. The plans of the
candidates for the interim have not been
disclosed. but their energies. 1t is ex-
pected. will be devoted chiefly to keeping
their forces intact. so that when the con-
vention reconyenes the deadlock is
likely to continue. though many expect
the perfection Of combination which
will end the contest.

Ter Of Alta Vista committed suicide
by drowning herself in pool OF water
short distance back Of her house.
Sunday morning about9 O'Clock the

Hienmiller got up some time during
the night and had gone down to the
little creek running through the west
parttof town, waded across the stream
and threw herself 'backwark into
about ls INCHES of water. The fact
that she Strangled to death in such

rash act. She was widow about IS

BUSINESS IMPROVESSLOWLY
INCREASED TRADE REPORTED
FROM A FEW POINTS.
Future Prospects, However, Appear to
Be Brighter-Good Year for
Farmers Predicted.

New York, May Pr. G. Dun &
Co.'s weekly review of trade says:
reports of increased trade are re-
ceived from few favored points, but
the nation, as a whole, has not inn
proved its commercial position during
the past week, in SO far as current dis
tribution of merchandise or manufac-
turing activities are concerned Pros
poets for the future have improved
somewhat, however, on account of the
progress made in agriculture. Unless
the crops suffer an unusual setback
hereafter 1t should be good year for
the farmers, and all other Industries
will feel the stimulus. Lake traffic Is
seriously interrupted by the strike, but
otherwise the labor situation is not
alarming. Leading branches of manu-
facture are extremely quiet, the recent
slight gain in iron and steel having
disappeared, and transporting interests
are not equaling last years results,
railway earnings thus far available for
May showing decrease of Sc per cent.
Although quotations Of iron and steel
products have yielded little, the indus
try is not making satisfactory progress.
and unless consumers place contracts
freely without further delay there will
be an accumulation of unsold stocks.
Failures this week numbered 236 in
the United States, against 191 last year,
and 10 in Canada, compared with IA q
year ago."
Bradstreet's says: Weather condi-
lions are still the apparent drawback in
the trade and crop'situation. Tempera-
lures have been too cool to allow Of free
distribution of spring and summer goods
at retail, and they likewise retard ger
mination and growth of crops, though
permitting good progress In seeding In
various sections of the country. In Job
bing circles the feeling Ia that the spring
trade is past and gone, and efforts are
now concentrated on fall business. re.
ports as to which are fairly good, though
not equal to a year ago. The Industrial
situation is rather quieter, but the most
serious strike of the year, that of mas.
tiers and pilots Of lake vessels, continues
with no prospect of settlement. This has
practically killed transportation on the
lakes, and the coal, ore lumber and grain
trades exhibit the effects Of the almost
total stoppage of the activities Of over
100000 men. Railway earnings show
recessions from last year"

Japs Fored to Retreat.
Newchwang, May 21.-The reports
of the Japanese retreat to Fengwang-

The Japanese, numbering 10000 men,
came upon $4,000 Russians in strong
position on Monday, go miles west of
Fengwangcheng. It being unwise to
risk battle, the Japanese retreated in
good order and with great rapidity. An
unofficial Russian authority says 9
pitched battle was not fought, but ru-
NOR says there was considerable loss on
both sides during the clashes, with the
Cossacks harassing the TANKS Of the
Japanese. This division presumably
was executing a reconnaissance. The
pursuit was checked when the main
body of the Japanese was rejoined. This
news apparently accounts for the with
drawal to an unknown destination o,
warships and transports from Tower
Hill, ten miles north of Kaichou, Lao
tung peninsula, and of renewed de
fensive activity at Newchwang. NJ

II YOU are sick and out.of.sorts, it is in your
power to make yourself healthy, strong, and
happy.
There is not the slightest reason why you
should go through life feeling sickly, miserable,
languid, and meanchoic. To be well and
strong, means happiness and true joy.
If you are sleepless, rheumatic, neuralgia,
dyspeptc, or have the shadows of disease
lowering over you; if you are not as bright,
energetic, and strong as you were some weeks
ago, the use of Paine's Celery Compound will
tone up and fortify your whole system, cleanse
the blood, correct digestion, sharpen the
appetite, and conduce to restful sleep. Thous-
ands once in a half-dead condition owe their
present good health to the use of Paine's
Celery Compound. Mr.. VIM. S. Gibson, of
Pleasureville, KY, who, through sickness and
suffering, was brought near the dark grave,
writes as follows, regarding his marvellous
cure -
" have been broken down in health and
strength, nervous system shattered, kidneys

off and on for the last ten years. l have taken
three bottles of your Paine's Celery Compound
and all of the aforementioned troubles have
