Frederick Essen Appointed Receiver
of the Peoples United
States Rank.

of Clayton, has been appointed receiver
of the Peoples United States bank by
Judge McElhinney of the st. Louis

His bond as received was placed at

Upon announcement of the appoint
ment, the bank, through it's attorney,
Judge Barclay, filed two motions, the

sen as receiver, the second appealing

chimney.

ing, had decided upon liquidation with
out a. receiver and to continue OPP

In announcing the receivership or
der, Judge Mckinney said that owing

Americans looking after trade in
China are Informed by our consular
agents in that country that the intro
duction of an article into general use
there mean an immense sale. Where
population is counted by the hundred
millions, general use' means some
thing. AT the same time there is
room for a very considerable amount
of goods which can not be regarded as
actual necessities, and which in the
United States would be regarded in
the nature of luxuries. The wealthy
class are ready to buy almost anything
which appeals to their fancy, and this
class is greatly on the increase.

STAND PROSPERITY
Cuba Appears to BE On The virgo of Rev
olution Because Certain Politi-
clans Can't Rim Things

Chicago, Aug. 16.-The Tribune
prints a Havana dispatch stating that
a political revolution is impending IN
the island republic. The Spanish busi-
ness element in Cuba, especially the
old merchants, WHO know the Cuban
character, because of their long ex-
perience here, predict trouble. Some
are disposed to rejoice, for they ley
have had any faith In the ability OF
the Cubans to gotern themselves and
they believe thai
At the first sid of serious trouble,
the United staf . will return to the
island.
Then in the Ature, they say. com
mercial interests viii be safely guard
ed.
Other Spanish interests regret the
appearance of trouble on the political
horizon because of the great injury
that may follow TO business.
While the bitter feeling between the
liberal and moderate parties has been
recognized generally as a sort OF pow
der magazin( around which Cuban pol
iticians have been playing with torch
es, the real seriousness of the situation
was not realized until the incendiary
declarations Of Jose Miguel Gomez,
presidential candidate who was named
in opposition to Estrada Palma, and
openly said that he did not propose to
obey the mandates iof the supreme
court. Everyone theh realized that the
situation was gravel
The next astonishing thing in con-
nection with these observations OF
Gomez, is the fact that the vice-presi-
Dental candidate, ! Senator Alfredo
Zayas, leader of the radicals in the
senate and one of the best educated
and b~est-known lawyers in Cuba, I'M
hesitatingly and unqualifiedly approves
of everything Gomez says. He practi-
cally said that if his party does not win
in this election they will appeal to
Something else besides the ballot"

TRADE GATHERING FORCE
Favorable Harvest Results in Slim
ulating Trade and Prices Are
Well Maintained.

New York, Aug. 19.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Fall trade, while not yet under full.
Roadway, is steadily gathering force.
Buyers are more numerous. Good
weather for harvesting and threshing,
except in portions of the northwest,
continue to reveal very favorable re-
suits in both spring and winter sown
grains. Combined cereal yields will
probably exceed all past years in both
quantity and quality. Relatively high
prices for agricultural products, man
ufactured materials and staple products
do lot deter buying operations. Collec-
tons on the whole have improved
slightly, and even in the south, except
in a small area of the f~ever-infected
zone, trade and collections are alike
better than anticipated earlier, while
the west and east also return more IA
vorable advices.

WENT THROUGH OPEN Draw
Between Twenty and Thirty Ne
groes, of an Excursion Party,
Killed and others Injured.

Norfolk, Va, Aug. 18.-Between
twenty and thirty negroes, occupying
the first car of an Atlantic Coast line
excursion train from Kingston, N. c.,
to this city, were killed or injured six
miles from this city. The train, con-
sisting of the engine and six coaches,
plunged through an open draw of the
bridge at Bruce station.
1t is difficult as yet to estimate the
number of the dead. 1t is believed that
every person in the first car persisted,
none having yet been accounted for.
With the exception OF the train crew
and the promoters Of the excursion, all
aboard were colored. The engineer,
fireman and conductor escaped.

APPLYING EXCLUSION LAW
Ideas Advanced by Speakers ON
Oriental Trade Mt the Trnns-
mississippi Congress.

Portland, Ore, Aug. 18.-That the
better class Of Chinese are discrim-
mated against to an unwarranted ex-
tent, that a less stringent administra-
ton Of the exclusion law, or, if neces-
sary, a limited reconstruction, is adj
visable, was urged by the speakers on
oriental trade at the second days ses-
sion of the trans-Mississippi CONNER
cial congress.
These ideas were brought out with
especial force by Hon. John Barrett,
United States minister to Colombia,
and by Theo. B. Wilcox, president Of

Was Engaged, and Suicides.

Hutchinson, Kasy Aug. 1S.-Mrs

years of age, and was car superintendent
of the Hutchinson Street Railway Co.
Mrs. Wells is survived by a son and a
daughter, and Burch leaves a son.

park, a suburban resort south of this
city, a wire-woven bridge, which spans

ing $50 people into IL feet of water.
That none was drowned is miraculous.

Cling to escape death. Women and

water and heavy loss of life seemed inn
minent.

THE CHARGE WOULDN'T HOLD
The Standard OIL Measure Overrun
Instead of Running Short,
as Charged.

Kansas City, Mo-, Aug. 16.-Recently
a city official seized an oil measure
used on a Standard oil delivery wagon
in this city. making the claim that it
was short, and prosecution was threat
eIed. A test of the measure was mado
in the city chemists Office. 1t devel-
oped the fact that the five gallon
measure used by the Standard Oil Co.
held a trifie more than the quantity Of
liquid it was supposed to hold. The
prosecution probably will be dropped.

ASMAsHING OF NAVAL METAL
Chicago, Pulled on After Grounding
ON Angel Island, Crashes Into
the Dcnnington's Bows.

San Francisco, Aug. 18.-The cruiser
Chicago, flagship Of the Pacific squad
ron, flying the flag Of Admiral Good
rich, went aground close to the light
house and fog signal station on Angel
island in this harbor. She came up
from San Diego with the disabled
gunboat Bennington in tow and accom-
panied by the navy tug Fortune. A
strong ebb tide was running, and in
the current the tow line on which the
Bennington was trailing, parted. Be-
fore her Roadway could be stopped, the
Chicago ran her bows upon the beach.
The Bennington, on her momentum,
sailed up close to the stern of the
stranded vessel before her anchors took
hold.
The tug Fortune soon got a line to
the Chicago and succeeded in pulling
her clear of the bottom, but when she
came off she took a sheer that sent her
straight for the anchored Bennington.
The current of the tide carried her
down across the bow of the anchored
vessel, and there vas a smashing OF
metal when they came together. Then
the two vessels, afoul of each other,
went drifting on the tide. Both were
considerably damaged.

J. A. Everett, an Indiana man, is
now seeking a location for his model
city," an arcadia on cooperative lines.
His hope is to obtain an option on a
town of 1000 or 5000 inhabitants,
and there to found what he believes
will become the agricultural capi-
tai Of the United States. Other OPP
lions will be taken on all land for
miles. Land owners who are on the
land when Mr.. Everett acquires it will
be permitted to retain their homes and
20 acres. The rest of the property will
be laid out in 20-acre tracts, which will
be offered to settlers.

farm where he spent most of his LIE,
was dedicated in this city.
The orator of the day was Charles
w. Fairbanks, vice-president OF the
United States. Thousands of visitors
from all over the state rendered the
vice-president an ovation when ne
arose to speak. President Roosevelt
was represented by Secretary of the
Interior Ethan Allen Hitchcock, a great
grandson of the Vermont hero.
The day chosen for the dedicatory
exercises was peculiarly appropriate, as
it marked the one hundred and twenty
eight anniversary Of the battle OF Ben
nington, and was a legal holiday in the

Berlin, Aug. 18.-The air is full of

1t is a remarkable fact that of the
big army of ballplayers which has

kinds of weather, through b!izzards,
cyclones and ~tornadoes, that few, il
any, serious accidents have occurred
during the forty or more years of Or
