Most Prosperous 10 Months
America Has Ever Known.
It Has Been a Period of Lively
Trade Expansion.
NEW HIGH RECORDS.
Have Been Made in Earnings of
Corporations.
Entrance Into the New Year Is
Most Promising.

New York, Dec. 30.-The year now
ending will pass down in history as
the greatest and most prosperous that
American business has ever known It
has been a period of lively expansion
in the trade volume, new high records
in corporation earnings and of rapid
although by no means a general ad-
vance in prices. The storm of 1903,
which wroght such havoc in the fnan-
ciaI markets. touched only slightly
the real sources of the eountry's
wealth. By the close of 1904, what
little depression had been caused in
the principal industries was more than
made good.
The twelve months of 1905 have wit
messed an entirely new forward move
ment far more vigorous and wide
reaching than the one that eliminated
with the financial troubles of three
years ago.
Two great forces have underlain this
wonderful commercial development
on the one hand, a season of extra
ordinary success in the agricultural
sections, on the other hand. the as
surance t,eat popular sentiment is over
whelrningiy opposed to any tampering
with the money standard, the invioia-
bflity of which is the corner stone OF
all business enterprises.
Confidence that the present business
advance is based on unusually strong
foundations has been and is still the
KEYNOTE to the rising stock exchange
market. The year 1906 starts auspi-
ciouslv because at the present time
there are few signs of the magnificent
opportunities to our trade prosperity
having been OverdOne. There has been
no general overproductiOn, no excess
sive rise in commodity prices, few in
stances of that extravagant capitaliza-
tion of new industrial enterprises that
brought the financial community to
grief in 1908.
While there may be cases in the
recent market where speculation has
overstepped the proper bounds, com
-,s1-ison Of prices with those of a year
ago viii quickly show there has been
nofhing like a general overspeeulation-
Because in all these more vital re
meets the situation is still quite sound.
here is far more reason for hope than
for nisgiving as we face the outlook
for the new year

KILLED BY DYNAMITE.
Former Governor of Idaho Assas-

Boise, Idaho, Dec. 3O.=Former
Governor Frank Stueneberg was as
sassinated by a big charge of dynamite
at 1880 O'Clock tonight as he was en-
tering the gate to his home at Cald-
wen. His body was blown to atoms.
No one witnessed the murder and as
yet there is no clew to the assassin
The murder seems to have been the
result of a deep laid plot and the gov
ernor's action and the placing of the
bomb were timed to d nicely
Governor Stueneberg had been
down town and was on his way home
when he was killed
In some quarters the murder of
Governor StuenebeFg is attributed to
miners who participated in the great
Occur D'Alene strike a few years ago.
The governor sent troops in that cOun-
try and had many strikers put into the
bull pens. Bloodhounds and detectives
have been sent to Caldwell and large
rewards have been offered for the ar
rest aud conviction Of the murderers.

Exposed to Flew.
Dead MilliOnaire's Widow Shut
Up for Five Months.
RESISTING DIVORCE.
Feared to Leave Home Lest She
Should Be Barred Out.
Only Went When Told Her
Husband Was Dying.


New York, Dec. S0=While the
body of Charles 7. Yerkes, millionaire
traction magnate, is lying at his man
sion at Fifth avenue and Sixth street
today every effort is being made to
smooth over for the brief time before
the funeral the domestic tangle into
which the mans queer sense of ethics
had plunged him. The body is at the
home of his legal widow, but for the
last three years Mr.. Yerkes had not
entered it. Nor had the widow visited
him during the last weeks of his
fatal illness until yesterday afternoon
when she was informed ne was dying.
Even then, it is said by some, she re-
NAMED in another room until the end
In the Fifth avenue house the
widow for the last five months has
been a prisoner by reason Of Mr.
Yerkes' desire to divorce her. She
was ordered to leave the mansion by
Samuel Untermyer, Mr.. Yerkers' per-
sonal counsel, and on her refusal it
had been threatened that gas water
and electricity would be shut off. Her
own lawyers had told her to remain
in the house, warning her that ad-
vantage might be taken of her alb
sence to throw into the street her per-
sonal effects and close the doors on

w nGn MI Y eIkeS returned from Europe
last August with Miss Emile Grigsby he
announced his intention to divorce Mrs
Yerkes. From that time until two weeks
ago Mrs. Yerkes was obliged to stay be-

been asked by telephone to come to the
Waldorf. On Sunday she finally consent

was calling on the sick man and refused
to see him. Yesterday she left her hand
some jail and when she returned the
man whose legal Vaccinations she feared
was dead
Mrs. Yerkes would see no reporters but
she telephoned to her friends explaining
to them the reason for her failure to
visit her husband To nearly every one
the news that she had been a prisoner
in the mansion came as a surprise. The
attempt at getting a divorce last summer
had been kept secret and very few
persons were aware OF the last chapter
in the milliOuaire's marital affairs.
At the Grigsby home on Park avenue

was not in and he did not know where
a.she may make a statement to the
press later. the man volunteered.
The Woman in tho Case.
The domestic troubles of Charles 7.
Yerkes were due to his friendship for
the family of the late Capt. Louis
Csrigsby who live in an imposing man
sion at $50 Park avenue, at the cor
ner of Sixty-seventh street. The his
tory of Yerkes' protection over Emile

School League. The players on the hui
have a general team average OF 9ll

the former bunch having fallen off and
the latter points.
St. Stephens is playing markedly SUI

over its nearest opponent in section a OF
points. and over the section b leader OF
s points, although they have fallen of
slightly in team average.
Gunton. which held second and then
first place has fallen back to third, CAL
vary Methodist going into second place
while Gurley has fallen back into last
place.
In section b, Calvary Baptist has
handled the ball so well in its recent
games that it has passed both Douglass
and Fifth. and now holds first place.
An unusual feature is the remarkably
small number of assists by the Mt Pleas
ant Congrega tionals, compared with those
of other teams in both sections.
