VICTIMS OF INDIAN,s MANIA.

Series of Murders Work of Geo. Four
cloud on Winnebago Reservation.
George Fourcloud, young Winnebago
Indian, who Is being held at Fender
Neb.. for the murder of Cora Elk, an In
dian girl, appears TO be the victim of a
murder mania. The Elk girl is said to
be his fourth victim in two years. In no
case was there any motive sufficient to
explain the crime. His first victim was
Mrs. John Hill, is years old, whom he
beat to death two years ago. Mary Be
cord and Lucy Lebo later were his vic
tins. All of the crimes were commit
ted on the reservation. In the most re-
cent case testimony taken by the coroner
showed that Fourcloud had left the Elk
girl in charge of his children while he
went to Homer. On his return from
Homer the children testified he was in a
rage and beat and kicked the girl and
afterwards carried her body from the
house to a wagon and drove with it to
the spot where it was found.

MINERS WIN a GREAT VICTORY.
Consolidation Board Decision Checks
Discharges Without Cause.

Cancellation Board Decision Checks
Discharges Without Cause.
The mine coIIciliation board made his
tory at its meeting in Wilkesbarre, Pa.
First, at the instance of the operators,
the precedent was established that when
operators discharge men without fair
cause CT for mistaken reason they shall
pay the discharged men 90 per cen: of all
the wages they would have earned had
they remained ct work and shall imme-
diateiy reinstate them when the concilia-
tors find the facts to be such, as they
did in the Coke Brothers case. Second,
and also at the instance of the operators,
the check weighman dispute is likely to
be referred TO Judge Gray for a judicial
ruling that shall be binding and final on
both parties to the controversy. The
first of these decisions will have q far
reaching effect. 1t will make the opera
tors more cautious about suspending or
discharging employees, because should the
grievances of the employees receive favor
able consideration at the hands of the
board 1t means a penalty for the employ
ers- Heretofore when employees were dis
charged or suspended they have had to
secure work elsewhere

\ In almost every part of
\. the country from which
| NHl York.

II
hEH l0IK the country from which
1 the International Mercan-
tile Agency has received special reports
there are signs of an improvement in
trade, with better business on hand
than usual at this season and few can
cellations as a result of the rather ca
lamitous reports that have been sent
out from the spring wheat sections in
the Northwest. This is a splendid au-
curry for the trade in the next six
months.
The best reports are from the South
and Southwest. 1t is evident that pre-
parations are being made by merchants
in those sections for an unprecedented
business. Louisville, Baltimore, st.
Louis and Dallas all tell the same story
of present good demand, with salts
factory collections and the prospect OF
much better business. Travelling men
are sending in larger orders than they
have been klown to send before at this
season. This applies to clothing, MILF
merry, hardware, dry goods and building
material.
In the financial and mercantile
worlds there is no one condition that is
having an effect at present equal to
that produced by the several aspects Of
the crop situation The loss by floods
probably reduced the winter wheat
yield by 2S,000,000 bushels. There has
been extensive damage in the last
week to spring wheat by rust. If no
further loss occurs in the Northwest
there will probably be between $780,
100000 and 600,000,000 bushels harvest
ed. There appears to be no warrant
for the estimate of a total yield under
550,000,000 bushels. With production
of 600,000,000 bushels there will be a
small eXportable surplus.
1t is remarkable how little alarm has
been shown over the labor troubles
that already exist and those that
threaten. Locally the strike of the men
In the packing house trade Is of small
consequence, while indications in the
West are that 1t will soon be settled.
In Chicago, Kansas City, Minneapolis
and St Paul, cities that naturally
would be affected by the disturbances,
there is little trace of a reaction in
trade. 1t is just as significant that the
same sections should report very sat
isfactory distribution of merchandise
In view of the estimates of damage by
rust TO spring wheat. In some of the
counties of North and South Dakota
there has probably been material set
back, but the damage figures are gen.
orally discredited.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S re-
view of Chicago trade for
the week follows. A heay-
Chicago.

the week follows: A heav-
Ter movement of commodities, increas-
ed production in important manufac-
lures, and good buying of general mer-
chandise are the indications of inn
provement in present dealings. 1t is
gratifying that the wheat crop estl-
mate suffers little impairment and that
growers are assured of profitable re-
turns. With other crops promising
abundant yields, the farming interests
are in position to become liberal buy
ers.
This creates more confidence that
business generally will assume larger
proportions, while the prepare lions UNI
der way stimulate wider effort. New
business coming forward appears best
among the leading lines of distribution,
the orders being from various sections
where trade conditions are healthy, es-
peclally in the cotton States and South
west.
Reports gathered show bookings
goods and foot wear. while sales were
Of fair volume in woolens, clothing and
groceries. Retail trade in both the city
and country reflect steady reduction
of stocks and collections generally
caused little .lquiry.
Manufacturing activity is more dis
tinct in iron and steel branches, and
in woodworking. Forces were increas-
ed at steel mills and there is heavier
output of rails, structural forms and
furnace product. Farm implement fac
tories have considerable work on hand
and will reopen promptly when inven
tories are completed
Other iron consuming branches are
well employed and business has re-
NAMED good both in the production
and distribution of heavy and shelf
hardware. Lumber dealings exhibit
steady increase. Prices Of all material
entering into manufacture are very
firm, and new requirements suggest lit
tie probability of early reaction.
Failures reported in Chicago dis
trict number 81. against 81 last week
and "A year ago.
