BRADSTREET'S
WEEKLY REPORT.

New York. Oct. 21.-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
Good feeling, IT. some instances
closely approaching optimism. domi-
mates the general trade situation, but
the undertone. is withal one Of con-
servatism, and there is general de-
sire TO avoid over trading Past re-
ports Of good wholesale trade are re-
flected in an increased speeding OF
the wheels Of Industry, but except in
portions OF the West and Southwest,
where cool weather had helped retail
distribution, and I'm the South, where
good prices for cotton induce free
marketing of the crop, there is a dis
position TO regard the weather as too
warm for best results In final distri-
button. Railway earnings turned the

country showing a gain OF a fraction

Taking i'm Late Hour Very Heavy,
New York, Oct. H.-There was a re-
vlval of speculative excitement in
stocks to-day. There was some I'M
certainty in the early market as to
whether the mid-Week reaction had
been decisively checked by yesterdays
late rally, but as soon as this was
into great animation.
The rise was uneven, one point and
then another being effected, but in the
course of the days very large dealings
practically all the important stocks
came in for their share of the advance.
The tide Of the market was so strong
that room traders became very bold
in their operations and dealt In prac-
ticaIly unlimited amounts of the vio-
lently active stocks.
The dimensions of such operations is
Indicated by the bid made during the
squirt in Pennsylvania for any part of

the local fractions was extended and

regarded as testifying to the extraor-
binary prosperity and strength of that

These special movements had a far

the list. The United States Steel stocks
shared at one time in the days upward

Heavy Profit Taking.
The great volume of the room trad
Ing made the profit-taking in the last
hour quite heavy. The result was an
irregular movement during the final
hour, and a considerable curtailment
of best prices. the leading Western
stocks losing practically all of their

BARRY ATTACKS JOHNSON
CONTRADICTING HIS RECENT.
LETTER, AND EXPLAINING.
SOME THINGS HE FOUND. !

John Barry has written a long ex-
PLANTATION of his conduct and his work
on the books Of the state auditor. In
it he contradicts statements made in
his letter to Mr.. Dunn written
in February. He says he signed this
letter at the request Of two friends of
Mr.. Johnson. Afterward he told Mr..
Dunn not to pay any attention to it.
In the new statement Barry says
that he quit the investigation Jan. 2,
because Johnson was not satisfied with
what he had found, and that Johnson
had told him unless he found some
thing, Dunn would be the next gov
ernor.' In the letter to Dunn, which
Barry held over night before signing,
he said his examination was not yet
finished, and also that neither john
son nor any one elsehad told him to
find something"
Barry explains the large discrepan-
cies found as errors in bookkeeping,
but does not explain the timber tres
pass matter, of which he talked freely
last fall to several persons.
Mr.. Dunn says the trespass settle
ments were perfectly regular, but that
the settlement with the Akeley COM
pany, referred to in Barry's evidence,
was negotiated by his deputy, s. 6.
Iverson, now state auditor.
The Barry examination is not fin
ished, but was adjourned to next
week at the accountants request.
Public Examiner Johnson declines
to say anything for publication, and
says he will make his statement in a
report to the governor.

BIBUL0US PAPA
TRIES TO ESCAPE
Workhouse Prisoner Makes At
tempt Because His Family
Is in Want.

Because his wife and children were
at home without money or provisions.
James Dwyar, a carpenter confined in
the workhouse for drunkenness, made
a bold dash for liberty yesterday at
ternoon.
Dwyar was committed Thursday
morning, and yesterday, after the in
mates had finished their noon meal,
he broke out of the line and ran across
the fields to the Twentieth avenue car
line. He was some distance away
when "trusty" reported the escape
and James Mcclure, the engineer,
caught the workhouse car as it was
starting out. Tony Schaible, driver of
the black Maria, started on the track
of the fugitive, and, in, order to gain
time, cut across q bend in the river,
hoping to head the man off at the
G. A. Smith lumber mill. About ten
feet from shore he broke thru the
ice and by the time he could get out
Of the mud Mcclure had overtaken the
prisoner on the car.
Dwyar did not know his pursuer and
frankly admitted he was running away
from the workhouse. When taken
back, he was asked why he ran away
when his sentence was only ten days.
He said that his wife and children
were in need and he was going out
to get work so they would not suffer.
His story will be investigated and his
sentence may be reduced.

J. F. Jackson will sever his rela-
lions with the Associated Charities, as
manager, about April i, and will be-
come manager of the Associated Char
tiles of Cleveland about May /. This
is a promotion for Mr.. Jackson, as
the Cleveland field is larger. The
move is not made on account of finan-
cial gain, as few friends, on hear
ing of his intention Of leaving Mime
apolis, offered to guarantee to him
salary equal to that offered in the Ohio
city. A successor to Mr.. Jackson has
not been chosen.
Mr.. Jackson started in 1892 as Sec
rotary Of the st. Paul Associated Char
tiles. He was later secretary of the
state board of charities and correc-
lions and was then identified with the
Charity Organization society of New
York city, after which he came to
Minneapolis. He has been, here for
nearly two years. Under the admin
istration of Mr.. Jackson the Associated
Charities of Minneapolis has made
steady progress. Mr.. jackson expects

Chemical analyses of water from

from wagons delivering Glenwood and
Indian Medical Spring waters taken
March 10, 1904, are before me. These
show if they show anything that they
are all safe waters for drinking pur-

curing a safe water not only for our
children at the schools but for the
whole population, and am heartily in
accord with any movement to secure
a safe water for any and all of our Cit
liens. Get as good water as is posi-
BILE for the present emergency, until
we can have positive assurance that
the two lower pumping stations will
never be used again. When all of our
city water comes from the upper sta

not only for our children at the
schools but for all OF our people. p.
