her recital Of her trials and tribula-

City for Several Years and Taught
Music to Many--Went From Here 70
Mt. Pleasant and Then West.

Herr Hans Albert, postmaster of the
violin, for years resident Of Ottum
wa, and leader in musical circles
here. has been sent to the Colorado
insane asylum at Pueblo.
Hundreds Of Ottumwans will remem
Der the quaint little musician, his &C.
centricities and especially his music.
For long time he taught the violin in
Ottumwa. From here Mr. Albert went
to Mt Pleasant for a year or SO where
he was instructor in the Iowa Wesley
an university. From there he moved
to Omaha and then on farther west.
Dissipation Slapped the ambition and
prevented Albert from attaining fame
and finally, out in Colorado, his mind
has given away In commenting upon
1t. the Denver Post, under Cripple
Creek date, says:
Alluded Insane.
Cripple Creek, Col, July s.-Prof
Hans Albert, native of Germany and
violin virtuoso, has been adjudged

DR.. A. G. Mechanism and Dr. ]. A.
Campbell is a paranoiac. The profess
sor has been following and making life

nent teachers of Berlin and Europe.

DUN'S REPORT
is FAVORABLE
SAYS DESPITE HOLIDAY WEEKS
BUSINESS WAS GooD-BRAD.
STREETS REVIEW

New York. July 6.--Dun's report to-
day says:
Despite the interruption Of holiday
and usual inventories and midsummer
stoppage of machinery for repairs, a
vast amount Of business was transact
ed during the past week and the out
look improved much further.
Activity has continued at most iron
furnaces and steel plants except where
repairs were imperative and the tone
Of the leading markets is firm. Inven-
totries at the steel mills show no sur
plus of stocks, but specifications are
in excess Of capacity. Some mills max
Ing railway equipment report that or
ders are being overtaken because
transportation companies have not
been able to raise funds. This f1nan-
ctal problem will probably postpone
new work, but extensions and i'm
provements now under way will be
completed.
Quiet conditions in the primary mar
kets for cotton goods are more large
ly due to the Indifference of manufac-
turers than the holiday season or stock
taking. Medium lines Of woolens are
now well opened, but there Is little
activity outside Of staple lines Of
mems wear.
Bradstreet's Report.
Bradstreet's report is, as follows:
The continued favorable weather
conditions have made for further crop
developments. the expansion In retail
trade in light summer goods and a
notable stimulation Of hitherto tagging
recorder business. One of the most
favorable developments Of the week
has been the improvement noted in

measures of business, such as clear.
ings and failures, point to irregular
conditions. The future outlook as to
the prices of goods is now having the
attention of manufacturers and whole
salers. Holiday quiet rules in the
show trade. Considerably more activ
ity is reported at the leading wool
markets and all staple woods have sold
terror markets.
Pig iron continues quiet and prices
easier at some markets. Premiums fol
