STILL SHOW IMPROVEMENT
FAVORABLE REPORTS AS TO
TRADE AND INDUSTRY.
They Are Larger in Number Than
Those Which Show Adj
verse Influences.

New York, March 19.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S Weekly Review of Trade says:
Improvement in trade and industry con-
tinues, favorable reports largely out
numbering adverse influences The most
important event of the week was the two
thirds vote by bituminous coal miners
to accept the proposed reduction in
wages. This will probably prevent a
serious struggle that would paralyze
manufacturing just when it is beginning
to revive. Complications have arisen in
the local building trades that retard
structural work, but a settlement is an
ticipated and the open weather is stimu-
lating outdoor work at other points. Re-
tail distribution of Easter goods steadily
expands and dealers stocks are being
depleted because Of conservatism in in
itial purchases This promises large
supplementary jobbing and Wholesale
orders as the season advances. Another
week has brought no check to the prog
ress in the iron and steel industry. I'm
provement does not come suddenly, nor
is there any inclination to advance prices
by bounds, as in the boom four years ago.
This conservatism will bring beneficial
results If continued.
Failures this week numbered 229 in
the United States, compared with 220 last
year, and 81 in Canada, against % a
year ago."

week by the Buena Vista grand jury
on eight counts for receiving money
after he knew the banks to be insol.
vent Seven of these counts were for
receiving money in the Linn Grove
bank and one for receiving money in
the Sioux Rapids bank. The latter in
dictment was returned upon the testi-
mony of H. g. Barrick of Storm Lake,
who gave Brown deposit of $4,000
upon promise of { per cent interest,
receiving certificate of deposit from
the Sioux Rapids bank. A. j. Wilson,
receiver of the banks, testified that
Browns liabilities were over 100000,
including his liability for assessment
and mortgage on 5000 acres Of land
in Polk county, Minnesota. and South
Dakota land. The First National bank
will pay about 70 cents; the Linn

St. Petersburg, March ia corre-
spondent, who has just visited Port
Arthur, telegraphs from Mukden as fol-
lows: Despite the various lombard
ments at Port Arthur the external aspect
of the city remains unchanged, although
the enemy fired an enormous number of
projectiles. The enemy in endeavoring
to stand as far as possible outside the
range Of the Russian batteries, rendered
their own fire ineffective. Six hours of
firing by the heaviest guns during the
last bombardment did not demolish a
single building, but cost few lives. The
people are getting used to the lombard
ments and the Japanese squadron cruis-
ing in the offing causes little alarm. Oc-
equations are resuming their wonted
course and many stores have been re-
opened. The land defenses are being
strengthened every day, and the troops
are eager to fight. The gayety and good
spirits of the troops is surprising"

Deacon mcclure Wants Damages.

Indulging in caustic humor and sar-
casm from first to last. the Iowa SUI
preme court last week rendered an
opinion in favor of Andrew McClurg,
deacon of the Methodist church of Val
ley Junction, and against Mayor Bren-
ton, and the chief of police of Des
Moines, whom he sued for damages
because they burst into his house at
night and arrested him on the theory
that he was chicken thief, because
some thoroughbred bloodhounds had
followed a trial from a hen roost to
the deacon's residence. In the lower
court the deacon's claim fer damages
was thrown out on legal technicality
and also on the ground that the mayor
was justified in thinking the dumb
brutes' instinct might be relied on de-
spite the good name of the deacon.
The supreme court takes a contrary
view and orders new trial. Ten
thousand dollars is asked by McClurg.

The Democrats of the Second dis

they favor William Randolph Hearst.

the teachings of Cleveland And only
to such man will their support be
given.

Now Asserted That Miss Rena Nelson

Candy With Intent to In

criminate Mrs. Dye.

States Attorney Goodner and Sheriff
Laughlin of Pierre, who have been at
Boone to Investigate that end of the
Rena Nelson poison case, have left
Des Moines for home They took with
them story of duplicity and hardi-
hood on the part Of Miss Nelson that
will shock the relatives and friends Of
the dead girl.
Mr.. Goodner says that Miss Nelson
bought the candy at the drug store OF
Dahoss & Company at Pierre. The
bonbons were made in Mankato and
none manufactured in the Minnesota
town is sold in Boone, the home Of the
Dyes.
Both Goodner and Laughlin coin
eide in the belief that the girl did not
intend to kill herself. They are sat

self sick with the poison, and upon her
recovery, to prosecute Mrs. Dye for at
tempt to murder her. She reasoned
that in this manner Dye could secure
divorce from his wife and be in posi-
ton to take another wife-herself. Mr..
Goodner Is satisfied that this is a true
explanation of this extraordinary case.
II cannot comprehend" says Mr..
Goodner. "how Miss Nelson had the
nerve to frame and adhere to the
stories told by her. Even when she
was dying she said to me that she sus.
pected Mrs. Dye. Many in Pierre will
question the veracity Of our conclu'
sions and the story we have to tell. so
great was the confidence in Miss Mel
son, but / am certain that we have un
raveled the mystery. Miss Nelson
died by her own act, but l am certain
she did not contemplate that extremity
but simply designed to make herself
sick and then to charge Mrs. Dye with
an attempt upon her life. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dye are guiltless of sending the
poisoned package"
