All advices from the interior indicate that we are to have a large volume of trade during the next season, says Banker Clews. In many cases protits have been curtailed by increased ex- penses or declining values. but the margin of profit in general business is still reasonably satisfactory and a hopeful spirit is prevalent amongst our large business concerns. The indus trial situation is also reasonably hope ful for the reason that the outlook is more settled and labor agitation is on the decline, notwithstanding the sense less conflict still in progress at Chica- go. Bank clearings in the leading cities are running about 90 per cent ahead of last year. which. allowing for diminished speculation. is positive tes- timony of the increased volume of busi- ness. Further evidence to this effect is found in reports of railroad earnings. which showed an increase of about : per cent for the first two weeks in May and an increase of 9 per cent for the month of March. the larger in crease for that month being partly due to the very poor results of the previous year. The most unsettling feature in general trade is the tarif question. That will inevitably come up for ae- tive discussion in a special session in October next owing 10 the determine ton of the administration to press that issue. This. of course, will be disturb ing. since 1t is quite likely to defer business initiative and restrict transae- tions to immediate necessities until it is known what the outcome will be.

SATURDAY, MAY q, 1905.

Experiments carefully made in Ger many, with view of determining the comparative nutritive value of saul sages, which is a favorite food among the Germans, show that mutton is the cheapest meat, veal the dearest and pork the most satisfactory, especially for those requiring great muscular exertion, while sausages may be re garded as fairly economical. These es- inmates are based on the cost per pound of the different kinds named. The same estimate would probably hold good in this country also.

 PHILADELPHIA. May 27.-Mayoi Weaver has ordered the street clean ing contract for 1906 Teadvertised. This is one of the fattest contracts of the year. and those allied with the gas ring depended on getting 1t on June l next

 He has sent for every one of the eouncilmen who voted for the seventy five year gas lease and to each is giy- ing heart to heart talk.
 Several councilmen have yielded to pressure at home and now favor the mayors party and declare that they will vote to sustain the mayors veto of the gas grab contract.

Uncle sam Wants sakhaIins

ST. PETERSBURG. May 27. = The Tenotechestva, most radical anti government organ. prints the startling rumor that the United States govern ment is in the market for the purchase of the island of Sakhalin. The paper, which takes every opportunity to place the Russian government in a poor light, says that the United States gov. ernment evidently believes that it can pick up the island, with its rich for ests and mines, at bargain, as Rus sia is unable to protect it.

British Bicycle Boom.

The bicycle boom is now In full
swing and Coventry is working over
time to meet the orders flowing in
from all parts OF the world. The fac
tories are completing between 1900
and 1000 machines each day, and yet
the leading firms find it impossible to
meet the demand. The coming of the
cheap cycle has revolutionized the
market
The incoming of the autimatic tool
and the partial employment of female
labor in the lighter sides of manufac-
ture have helped somewhat to lessen
costs. but the great demand this year
has sent up wages in some branches.
About 5000 men are now employed in
Coventry alone in this one work.

arriving at a Verdict.

Kushequa, Pa, July -(SpeciaD-
n this section of Pennsylvania there
IS growing belief that for such Kid
ney Diseases as rheumatism and
Lame Back there is only one sure
cure and that is Dodd's Kidney Pills.
This belief grows from such cases as
that Of Mrs NJ l. Dawson Of this
place. She tells the story herself as
follows:
Il have suffered from Rheumatism
for thirty years and find that Dodd's
Kidney Pills have done me more good
than any medicine have ever taken
! was also bothered with Lame Back
and can only say that my back hasn't
bothered me since l took Dodd's Kid
ney Pills"
Considering that Mrs. Dawson only
took two boxes Of Dodd's Kidney Pills.
the result would be considered wonder
full IL II were not that others are re-
porting similar results daily. Kushe-
qua is fast arriving at verdict that
"Dodd's Kidney Pills are the one sure
cure for rheumatism"

Walsh Scandal Case.

New York. July 11.-Secrecy which
had been allowed to carefully cloak
scandalous charges against Thomas f.
Walsh, wealthy mining operator Of
Colorado. was torn away and the en-
tire story OF Miss Violette Watson. his
accuser. revealed to-day. when Detlief
C. Hansen. a lawyer. sued Miss Wat
son for forty per cent. of the sum that
Hansen asserts she has received in sat
.sfaction OF her claims against Mr..
Walsh.
He was the young woman's attor-
ney, acting for contingent fee.
Her total demands upon Mr.. Walsh
were for 100000 In the suits brought
by Hansen. and upon this basis he
asks that the courts award him $780,
900, or forty per cent. He says he is
not informed OF the exact amount
which he declares has been paid to
Miss Watson by Mr.. Walsh.

For Plain Attire.

The best thing that was said in any
pulpit in the United States yesterday
was uttered by parson in Des Moines,
Iowa Rev. DR.. Mcconnell declared
that the decadence Of church-going was
because attendants-especi at Pro
testant churches-wore the most ex-
pensiye clothes they possessed This
had the effect of keeping away the
poor, plainly attired people. In max
ing the usual announcements for future
services this long-headed parson said: ::
please note that all people attending
services here are requested to wear
plain and inexpensive clothing in or
der that no one, however humble, may
be embarrassed" This man Is on the
right track. Dress Is the barrier be-
tween church attendance and the
poorer classes. OF course, 1t is not ex.
pected that man will go to the house
OF worship in his overalls. 1t is to be
hoped he wouldn't sit down to dinner
in such garb-certaiDly not If he loves
and respects his wife, who cooks the
meal.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

DROWNED or SHOT.
NurzsroOs Negro Loses His Life While
Evscine Officers.

Denver. July ia Republican spe-
cizl from Florence last night says: Ed
ward Nichols, coloTed laborer at the
Brookside coal mine, met a tragic
death while attempting to swim the Ar
kansas river 10 elude capture by deputy
sherifs for an all but fatal assault on
the master mechanic Of the mine. AS
the officers fired upon the fugitive, he
sank from sight In the water and the
body has not been recovered.
Sunday evening Nichols assaulted
and attempted to kill James McPher-
son, master mechanic at the Brookside
coal mine, by beating him over the
head with heavy club. After doing
this and being frightened away by wit
nesses, Nichols left the country and
was not seen again until last evening,
although diligent search was kept
up by the officers.
Yesterday Sheriff Esser detailed
Deputy Sheriffs John Jones and Payton
Allen to search for the fugitive. Soon
after the officers left the train, which
had carried them to Portland In the
hunt. they caught sight Of Nichols hid
ing in the tall weeds near the Arkan-
sas river bridge. When they advanced
toward him. Nichols started to make
for the nearby hills. The officers called
several times on the man to halt, but
he refused to do so. The officers
opened fire, but II bullet struck him
It had no effect, as he continued to
run at almost the speed Of horse.
Nichols headed for the Rio Grande
tracks with the evident intention of
catching freight train and leaving the
country. Allen also ran down the track
and succeeded in heading OF the man.
At this juncture Nichols saw that his
capture was only matter Of moments
II he did not pursue another course, SO
he made to the river and jumped in.
He nearly succeeded In swimming
across to the opposite bank when Al
len began firing upon him. Whether
the shots we're effective is not known,
but Nichols, after making a few des-
perate struggles, sank to the bottom.
No effort has SO far been made to re-
cover the body.
Mcpherson, the injured man, Is in a
serious condition. Nichols struck him
over the head with a big club AMI
might have succeeded in killing him
had not the club broken.
Mcpherson is the father OF Mrs. Al.
len, whose husband did the shooting.
There seems to be some question in
the minds of the officers whether Mich
oils was killed by the bullets.
