ganized to run down the guilty man and
lynch him. Watts became aware that his
crime was known and that if caught he
would be lynched, and made haste to sur
render to the sheriff of Marshall county,
to whom he also confes d. duplicating
Stapler. Immediately after Watts con-
fession search was begun for Stapler, his
accomplice, who had fled and was on his
way out of the country. He was SUISSE

~. Dun's review of Chica-
UniGdIU. 20 trade, published by r..
@ Dun & Co the mer-

camille agency, says:
Developments have continued favor
able to business, and the volume OF
production and distribution steadily
expanded, new demands imparting Il
more encoura ging tone in operations,
especially with reference to future
employment. A larger use of money
now is evident, and the showing Of
the local national banks creates good
impression.
With the seasonable weather which
| mainly prevailed, the leading retail
lines were enabled to make a satisfac
tory advance. Personal buying was
very largely augmented throughout
the jobbing division, and the manu-
featuring branches added materially to
bookings.
Iron and steel gained additional
strength from the orders received for
rails, pig iron, plates, and structural
ness and became higher for sheets.
Inquiries show that the railroads will
make further notable purchases of
rolling stock and track material, and
considerable bridge work is contem-
plated.
The market exhibited we'll distrib-
uted demand, and Notwithstanding the
large supplies there was satisfactory
absorption and steadiness in values.
Leather and sundries were in good re-
quest, and the leather working
branches, particularly shoes, obtained
fair amount of new business for fall
delivery.
Breadstuffs experienced a good de-
mand, and the movement of grain
reached unusually large proportions.
Bank clearinss, S19S,O52, ,99S. were
1914 per cent over those of correspond
ing week last year. Money was in
steady demand, and the discount rate
for choice commercial paper ranged
from to per cent.
Failures reported in the Chicago
district numbered twenty-five, against
twenty last week and twenty a year
ago.

MERIT FOR POsTMAsTERS.
Civil Service Is Extended to Cover the
Mai. Handlers.


President Roosevelt is making sweep
ing extensions of the operations of civil
service. \ Washington correspondent
says it is learned definitely on the au-
thority of the Postmaster General that
the policy of the new administration
with reference to postmasters OF all
classes, from presidential down to fourth
class, is that changes are to be made
only for cause.
1t was announced after recent cabi-
net meeting that eight years of postoffice
service would not be barrier to continu-
ance. but until now it was not known
and, it might be added, not dreamed by
the politicians that the policy would be
so radical as to demand the filing of
charges susceptible of investigation and
proof to accomplish change of postmas-
tiers of the presidential class.
Congressman are just beginning to
learn of the broad scope of the new rule
and of the fact that their recommends
tions for postmasters will no longer go"
unless supported by charges that will
meet the test of a searching investiga-
ton. Naturally instances are few in
which a Congressman would be willing
to jeopardize his political influence by
filing charges or countenancing the fiji
ing of them. Some of them are saying
that the rule is too impracticable to be
rigidly enforced,
