DEAD AUDITOR WAS DEFAULTER
Experts Find Shortage in Books Of
james H. Rice.

Indianapolis. Ind, Aug. 11.-Ac-
eording to a report submitted to Gov
ernor Hanly by the experts employed
TO examine the books of the present
and past state officers, James H. Rice,
who served as auditor of state from
1888 to 1897, went out OF office a de-
faulter in the sum of $4,000.
Tt also is shown in the report that
Rice received fees or insurance taxes,
as did his predecessors and successors
in office. Suit are now pending against
two former state auditors to recover
the fees thus appropriated, and the
case has been taken to the supreme
court, lower courts having held that
the state auditors were not entitled to
fees.
James H. Rice has been dead num-
Der Of years, and his estate has been
distributed among his heirs. Governor
Hanly says that he intends to take
steps to recover the money for the
state, but he does not intimate what
course he will pursue. Rice was a
leading Democratic politician for a
number of years, having been chair
man of the state central committee OF
his party.

Resumption Of Silver Purchases Has
Wide Erect

Denver. Aug. 1.-THE principal ef-
feet of the resumption of silver pur-
chases by the treasury department"
said General Frank Hall, the veteran
mining writer, In signed article in
the Denver Post, will be to stimulate
the production Of silver bearing ores
from mines already opened. Certain
mines that have been closed since 1898
will be reopened. This implies early
enlargement of both milling and
smelling facilities. It means increased
activity in all lines of business, the
employment of more men, and a food
of prosperity for all railways which
penetrate the mining regions. It is
also liable to multiply orders for min
ing machinery and all supplies enter
ing into mine work. It will augment
the production of gold, and also of the
rare metals. An increased output of
silver means also a larger volume of
lead, zinc and copper"

bullet that some Floridans fired into
her back some time before the agent

her at Miami, Fla, little less than
two weeks ago.
When the sea COW arrived at New

Several of the improvements under
taken at the Crittenton home are near

ed by the directors of the home to
have a formal opening on Friday,
August 81. to which the public is in
vited for the purpose of having them

of the home and it's necessities At this
opening contributions of almost any
thing that would come in handy for
the running of the home will be re-
ceived-
A fund of $3.50 is still needed to
permit the board of directors to carry
out the plans they have formulated
for additional improvements to the in
stitution and also to pay a small bal
ance on the improvements which have
been made. To help out this fund the
statesmen in the leading dry goods
stores in the city are going to play a
ball game at the Association park on
August It. the receipts of which will
go towards this fund.
During the last few weeks several
of the churches in the city, which have
maintained rooms in the homer have
had them ref1tted and refurnished.
Mrs Carrie z. Osman. the matron OF
the home, will return to her duties at
the end of the month, after having
enjoyed a much needed and deserved
vacation.

Bradstreet's.


BTaQSlTeeLS says
Fall trade has opened actively, the
first rush of house buyers being noted
at all large centers east and west. Free
and confident buying of dry goods.
boots, shoes, clothing and kindred
articles IS reported from all western
and southwestern points, and first and
second hands at the east report bust
ness of full volume for the season.
Other developments have been mainly
favorable. Heavy rains have affected
some lines of retail trade at the west,
checked spring VIII eat cutting at some
points and injured the quality rather
than the quantity of winter wheat in
stock; but on the other hand. needed
moisture has been received by corn
and enough has been secured to assure
maturity at most points. Only the best
reports come from the southern corn
crop and cotton has been improved by
the cessat ton of heavy rains in the
south Atlantic states. Industry is ac-
tive as seldom, if ever before, and the
only subject of complaint herein is the
scarcity of labor available. This com
plant, however, is practically country
wide, despite the enormous past and
present immigration. Strikes are more
numerous, but effects are localized.
Iron and steel are in unprecedented
demand for a midsummer period
building and building materials.
though less active at New York, show
few signs of a let up at the west, where
records Of previous years have been
broken. Railway earnings continue
very heavy, a gain of u per cent being
indicated for July over year ago and

PERSIA GIVEN A PARLIAMENT.
Granted National Assembly for the
First Time in History.

Washington. Aug. 11.-For the first
time in her history, Persia is to have
national assembly. This information
was conveyed to the Persian minister
in a cablegram from Mira Nassrollah
Khan Mochiredolet Sadreazame, the
grand vizier and minister for foreign
affairs, who stated that in view Of the
desire OF the shah for the welfare of
Persia and all It's inhabitants and in
order TO fortify the government, it had
been decreed necessary to give certain
reforms and a constitution. The i'm
mediate organization of national as
sembly for the realization of these re-
forms accordingly was ordered.
According to the dispatch the as
sembly will be composed of equal par
ties, namely. princes Of the blood
clergy, chief of the reigning dynasty,
cadjar, high dignitaries and person
ages, merchants and representatives of
corporations. The assembly will meet
at Teheran, and it is provided that all
civil and constitutional laws shall
originate in the assembly. and after
the signature of his majesty Will be-
come effective.

In some sections the in
"a tense heat facilitated retail

Manufacturing news is still of good
progress, the iron and steel industry
maintaining phenomenal results, de-
spite some labor troubles. High prices
prevail IN the footwear industry and
for most textile fabrics, but the gem
eral level of all commodities reflects
the cheapening of farm products on
account of the big crops. Railway
