The annual Sunday-school Con-
vention was held last Friday,

the county. Rev. NJ. B. Adams,

Grove, of the Second Presbyterian
Church and Rev. c. r. Hudson,
of the Christian Church. Of Frank
fort, each made stirring and in
structive addresses on the various
departments of Sunday-school
work. Mr.. w. G. Simpson, and
several Sunday-school workers,
both ladies and gentlemen, took
part in discussions as to the best
method to be used in teaching.
One of the very enjoyable feat
ures of the convention was the
singing, which was fine.
A most beautiful and elegant
dinner was served by the people
Of the Peaks Mill community.
The Nominating Committee re-
ported the selection of officers for
the coming year:
E. r. Jones, of Switzer, Presi-
dent.
lack Church, of Stedmantown,
Vice President.
Mrs. Mary B. R. Day, Frank
fort. Recording Secretary.
Walter LETTERS, Visiting Secre-
tary and Treasurer.
Mr.. Jones has made such an
efficient and acceptable President,
during the past two years, that
the Sunday-school workers were
unwilling to give him up.
About thirty Sunday-schools
have been reported, but only
twelve have sent in reports.
A collection was taken for State
work and workers, which amount
ed to about thirteen or fourteen
dollars. Each teacher and officer
is asked to give ten cents to this
work and each pupil two cents a
year.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
Resolved, First, That we en-
dorse the earnest efforts that are
being made by the State Secre-
tary to bring the people of God
in closer touch in the good work
of spreading the Gospel through
the Sunday schools.
Second, That we promise the
work our hearty support in all the
financial aid in the effort of the
field workers, and that we will
urge our schools to be prompt in
their apportionment for the State
Sunday-school work.
Third, That our thanks are eX-
tended to the people of his COM
munity for their generous hospi-
tality and delightful entertain
ment.

BIG HOLOCAUST OF MULES.
Costly Result OF Tuesday Mornings
Fire at the National stock
Yards, East st. Louis.

st. Louis, May 24.-Between 400 and
500 mules were burned to death in the
fire which destroyed the sales stables
of Maxwell & Crouch and Sparks
Bros. at the National stockyards in
East st. Louis early Tuesday morning.
A hundred that were turned out Of
one of the stables and driven a block
away, stampeded, knocking down sew
eral of those who were trying to keep
them out of danger, and ran back into
the flames and were destroyed. Two
thousand mules were turned out and
ranged over the country adjacent to
East st. Louis, pursued by horsemen
who are trying to round them up.
A fire wall helped check the fire,
which for a time threatened to sweep
away all the stables of the horse and
mule market and menac the National
hotel and the plant of Nelson Morris &
Co. and the buildings along st. Clair
avenue.
The loss on the buildings owned by
the stockyards company is about $20,-
900. The estimated value of the mules
was from $3.50 to 5000 apiece, and some
of them more. The loss on them is
placed at above $50, 900. In addition,
about $4,000 worth of feed was de-
stroyed. The losses are said to be all
covered by insurance.

WILLIAM zIEGLER NO MORE
Was Well-Known Capitalist and
Promoter of Arctic Exploration.
He Had Amassed a Great Fortune In
Baking Powder and Real Es-
tate Investment.

New York, May 25.-Willtam Ziegler,
the capitalist and promoter of Arctic
exploration, died at his country home,
near Noroton, Conn. He was uncon-
scious all night. The funeral will be
held Saturday at noon.
Mr.. Ziegler had been an invalid
since a runaway accident in which he
was injured last October. He sustained
Internal hurts, and was so severely
shocked that the physicians were I'M
able to do little more than ameliorate
his sufferings. Two or three days ago
his condition changed for the worse.
Mr.. Ziegler was born in Beaver coun-
ty, Pa, September /, 1S43. He was ed
ucated in the public schools of Iowa,
and later learned the printers trade
in the office of the Muscatine Journal.
He went into the baking powder bust
ness in 1870, and made a large fortune.
During the latter years of his life he
operated in Brooklyn and other Long
Island real estate to the extent of mill
ions of dollars. He led the fight against
ions of dollars.
MI. Ziegler's condition received a
setback a few weeks ago by the shock
which he sustained on hearing of an
accident to his son, who fell ON a sharp
hook, cutting himself severely.
Last Saturday he suffered a stroke
of apoplexy.

COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS.
The Irregular and Unsettled Wea-
ther Has Acted as n Bar to
Full Business Activity.

New York, May 27.-Bradstreet's
weekly review says:
Wholesale trade is seasonably quiet,
pending a clearer view of crop out
turn, which, owing to irregular or I'M
settled weather in wide areas still lacks
definite form. Cool weather is still a
bar to fullest activity at retail. Manu-
featuring activity is still in large vol
ume on orders previously booked.
Speculative markets for wheat reflect
technical conditions and short supplies
in primary markets more clearly than
they do the slight deterioration in
quantity and quality indicated as re-
sulting from recent backward weather,
which has also been used as a lever to
affect cor and cotton. Collections re-
fleet little more than seasonable slow
ness, and money is easy and in album
dant supply. Rather more friction in
labor matters is noted at Chicago, the
expected ending of the Transfers strike
being delayed. Some few points of la
Dor friction are noted in other cities.
Despite efforts to accentuate less favor
able happenings for stock speculative
purposes, there is still abundant evil
dence that the country's requirements
are on a large scale, heavily exceeding
a year ago at this time.

The appearance of the Japanese so

VICTORY FOR MAYOR WEAVER
The United Gas Improvement Co.
Withdrayvs It's Bid for
Five-Year Lease Extension.

Philadelphia, May 29.-After a con-
test lasting five days, the "organiza-
tion," led by Insurance Commissioner
Israel w. Durham, was forced by lab
lie opposition and clamor to abandon
its efforts to extend the lease of the
city gas works to the United Gas I'm
provement Co. for rs years.
Thomas Dolan, president of the COM
pany, forwarded a formal letter to the
president of the select and common
branches of the city councils, with

city $25, 900, 900 in consideration of the
extension of the lease which the COM
pany now holds. This action was talk

THE NEW THEBES BRIDGE.
spIcndidIy Nocnted, with Bian- ON
Both sides of the River, obvi-
atins Long Approaches.

Thebes, H., May 27.-The Thebes
bridge over tbs Mississippi, forming a
new gateway for commerce and traffic
with the south and great southwest,
which was formally opened Thursday,
is a magnificent structure of double
track width and, owing to its prom
inent location, presents a most impos-
ing appearance. Its location is a par
~ticularly fortunate one, because of the
high bluffs on each side of the river,
which obviated the necessity of long
approach trestles. The bridge proper
consists of a continuous steel structure
of five spans built on the cantilever
system and weighs $4,000, 900 pounds.
The central or channel span is GIT feet
long, each of the other spans being
about 521 feet long. The approaches
to the bridge are of concrete, made of
Portland cement, as are also the piers
upon which the spans and arches rest.
and this concrete, of which nearly n
million cubic feet were used, consti-
tutes the chief popularity of the bridge.
Except the face stones of the piers,
which are of buff Pomona Oelitic stone,
and the bridge seats and nose stones
for the upstream cutwater, which are
granite, there is no solid stone work
in the entire structure.
The steel bridge is approached al
both ends by a series of concrete
arches. The total length of the bridge
proper, including the concrete APP
breaches, is 3.S17 feet, and the total
length of the entire double-track CON
struction, including grade approaches,
is Al miles. The total height of the
bridge, from the bottom of the lowest
foundation to the top of the highest
point on the superstructure, is 231
feet.
The site of the Thebes bridge for
many years has been considered the
most advantageous location for a
bridge at any point on the Mississippi
south of st. Louis.
Ground was broken for the bridge
on July 5, 1902, and the first train
passed over it on April 10 of this
year. The cost of it's constructor
was, approximately, $4,000, 000.

After the discharge of the third explo-

forced Engineer Wilson to strike a
match, and as he did this, Engineer
Wilson saw Express Messenger Laub
ready to hit the robber with a piece of
broken car. Wilson Immediately blew
the match out and the express mes
senger struck the robber and knocked
him out. The robber was not killed,
