certainly deserved the game they lost and
everyone was pulling for them, but they
lost 1t by only two points. Inability of
one of the forwards to make a goal out
OF a dozen good trials was responsible
for the defeat as wen as several fouls
by another of the Blacks.

lows, the score ending % to 10. Chairsell
found the basket with more than usual
ability. making IA points. although in
the last half he suffered severe sprain
of the knee. Gibson did some of the
prettiest passing seen this year, and 1t
was largely through his passing that
Chairsell had the opportunity to make
some pretty baskets

ALL CLASSES OF
IRON BUYERS KEEN
DISTRIBUTING cENTERS REPORT
CONDITIONS QUIET BUT FIRM.
ACTIVITY IN FINISHED PROD
UCTS, ESPECIALLY RAILS.

Rogers Brown & Co.'s Cincinnati report
of yesterdays date says:
All distributing centers report conditions
quiet with prices stationary but strong.
The volume of business is satisfactory
and the interest of all classes of buyers
Is keen. Inquiries for widely varying ~e-
liveries keep up well but furnaces are re-
luctant to quote for extended prices.
The activity in finished products con-
tinues and consumption is increasing
Steel rails and cast iron pipe in particular
have been very active and large orders
have been booked. Contracts placed In
80 many lines and so heavily promise a
consumption during the year of twenty
million tons, which will make a phenom-
email record.
The tardy increase in production is
causing surprise and is one of the strong
est elements in the present situation. In
the south there is no immediate prospect
of anything like the production that was
anticipated. 1t is reported mat several of
the iron makers in the Birmingham dis
trict are predicting a sharp advance be-
fore long.
In the coke fields the output has been
increased slightly under more favorable
weather conditions, but this commodity
still commands first attention, with a
strong market. Transportation is exceed
ingly difficult. Prices in the east are high
on account of recent railroad embargoes
and the coke obtainable is from fifty
cents to dollar above western prices 1t
is reported that the purchase of several
hundred thousand tons of ConnelIeville
fuel is under contemplation. and while
this may have had its influence, the local
conditions which have surrounded coke
manufacture have caused the present
strength.

large numbers of the intimate friends and
acquaintance of the family.
The offerings of flowers were rare and

roses, showering bouquets of white and
pink carnations and again mass upon
mass of roses. The floral tributes of the
Clio club and the third-year class of
the High school, of which Miss Katherine
was so brilliant a member, were especial
ly beautiful. During the period of her
school life in this city she was so excep-
tional a student, so gifted in mind and
winning and gracious in character, that
she became particularly endeared to her
teachers and school mates. Speaking of
her, her principal said: by her example
of earnest and conscientious application,
her lofty sense of honor and her sim

influence greatly appreciated in our school
and a wholesome and uplifting presence
there"
Her burial place is on rising ground. One

words craven on the very earth, THE

It has been decided that d. w. Long

The removal of several of the other oc-
cupants of the Katzenberger building

 on the Trail at the Lewis and Clarl exposition. It has been dubbed 'tht
 Rockefeller Mummy"
 This mummy is the oldest man, bJ
 several thousand years, at the exposi tion. It is also the ghastliest human
 relic ever exposed to view in tht northwest. Ordinarily when a mum my is put on exhibition one may SC,
 only the exterior wrappings. Througl the thick swathings of mummy clotH the eye may not penetrate, and it il .only taken for granted that the re

 But this particular mummy is start

 ancient cerements have been un
 wrapped from his head, chest, armi
 and feet and from his right leg almos
 to the thigh.
 Egyptian writings on the wrappingi Aand on the surface of the wooden cot fin have been partly deciphered bJ 1 learned men, who aver that this reli, ] is the mummy of rich nabob of the Nile country, who lived about 2,50t lyears before the beginning of the Chris titan era. The mummy, therefore, i, about 4,400 years old.
 {; A visitor to the exposition, however who knows nothing about hieroglyphit writings or the history of money making along the Nile, stopped ir front of the exposed mummy somt
 days ago and looked long and intently , at the face and bald skull
