PIG IRON WEAK AND LOWER

New York, August 31.-Bradstreets' re- ports as follows: Crop and trade de- velopments display irregularity, render ing generalization difficult. Fall jobbing trade has improved in almost all of the large centers. On the other hand while some markets are well filled with buy CTS and some lines reports sales exceed undercurrent of conversatism in buying Dry goods and wearing apparel show chief activity as befitting the season.
 In some other lines of industry there is evidence of quieter demand. Pig iron is weak, and lower and there is complaint that the railways are not buying rails freely. Collections are still subjects of complaint, special emphasizes being placed on New York collections
 Foundry pig Iron is weaker at all mar kets and in a few centers resale iron Is being continuing offered.
 Some 1S5O Birmingham is quoted for southern iron intended for delivery this year and In one instance as low as $l7 has been quoted for the first six months of the year. Stocks are not accumula ting to any marked extent. New business in structural material, mostly for bridge work Is good.

MAN AND FISH FIGHT.
A Houston Swimmer in Battle With
 Monster Tarpon.
rrom the nouston Chronicle.

From the Houston Chronicle.
 A struggle between a man and tar pon afforded an exciting half hour for hundreds of people at Morgan's Point Sunday morning. The plucky fisherman, who was alone in slSiff. got the worst of the combat, and would have lost his life but for the fact that he proved to be an expert swimmer As it was he was tumbled into the channel, where there is a depth of twenty-two feet of water lost a fishing outfit valued at $55 and had an experience he will never Tor get.
 The victim of the accident was MT. Henry TowseY of Houston. MT Towsev went to Morgans Point expecting 10 spend Sunday fishing. He secured boat early in the morning and went to the channel There were scores of other boats at the head of the channel and all were having good luck. MT. Towsey had not been at work very long until he land- ed a fifty pound drum. Shortly after that there was a great commotion in the water at the lower end of the channel, and 1t was observed that school of tar pon were headed up through the chan mel from the lower bay. MT. fowsey was the first to see them and was one of the few fishermen in the crowd who had tarpon outfits with them. He remarked to Mir. Thomas Kehoe. who was in boat near by: l.
 That bunch looks good to me-" and

after taking his drum ashore, he pulled out again into the channel and went after the tarpon.
 He soon got "strke," and then the fun began The fish dragged the boat and it's occupant. first down the channel and then up again. It Is stated that he leaped from the water dozen times, and these exhibitions furnished delight ful amusement for the spectators In the other boats, and the crowd on the shore, which had by this time grown to consld crable proportions.
 Suddenly the tarpon showed the "wnite feather" and the struggle was suppos Ad to be over. Just as Mir. Towsey was about to draw his prize aboard and while the tarpon was within three feet of the boat the spunky rascafs strength re- vived. He gave one final "hounce' and landed squarely across MT. Towsey's lap. He had been sitting astride the well In the center of the boat. and when the fish landed on him he could throw his arms around the fish, but he did not do that.
 He knew 1t was useless to attempt to hold the tarpon, which Is said to be one of the largest ever caught at the point, and his next thought was how best to get from under the monster without injury to himself and at the same time prevent the escape of the tarpon. Up to this t1no ms line WdS intact, anu iit iii'hE concluded that If he could extricate him self from his perilous position he might be able to land his prize. All this time the tarpon was making things lively.
 MT. Towsey strengthened himself back ward and attempted to draw himself out from under the fish. when the latter gave n spring MT. Towsey was just at that instant leaning backward toward the side of the boat, and the tarpon landed across the breast of the man. close up to his neck, and his weight resulted in tipping the boat so that man and fish went into the water In the mixup MT. Towsey lost hold of his line and the tarpon was gone. The water at that point Is twenty two feet deep. MT. Towsey went down. but when he came up he swan back to his boat which by this time had righted itself climbed in and pulled to shore.

Lunos That Are Starved,

It is a fact that most of us are vic- tins of our own lazy respiration and deprive ourselves of oxygen that is so necessary if we would keep our bodies at their highest point of efficiency, says Tho Delineator for September
 Oxygen Is absolutely necessary to the existence of animal life. Man gets oXy- gen from air breathed into his lungs.
 Besides introducing oxygen into the blood. the lungs act as excretory organs. removing undesirable elements from the system at each expiration.
 In ordinary or unconscious breathing onl. 10 to 13 per cent of the air In the lungs Is changed at each breath. leaving 80 to 90 per cent of the lung capacity filled with stale air.
 Forced or conscious breathing of pure air ventilates the lungs, driving out the 80 to 90 per cent of the stationary or stale air.
 All bedroom windows and doors should be wide open during sleep thus connect ing the lungs directly with the pure air of the outside world.

Dun's Review.

New York, August 31.-R. c. Dunn & Co.'s weekly review of trade is fol- lows:
 Bank clearings at most cities still com pare favorably with preceding years and reflect a larger volume of payments through the banks than in the last week of August in any other year, total ex- changes this week at all leading cities in the United States outside New York being $734 357. .s49, an increase of per cent over last year and 12.3 per cent over corresponding week of 1905.
 Considering the existing conservatism In some lines, the closeness with which money Is held in nearly all markets and the generally high rate of commodity prices, 1t Is rather remarkable that any increase appears when 1t is remembered that nothing like these same conditions existed at this time in either of the two preceding years.

Mrs. Harry Freese is Dead.

This was the sad news that quickly
floated all over the town and out into
the country last Sunday afternoon at
8 O'Clock, Feb. 10th, 1907.
Lauretta Amelia Howell Freese was
born in the lovely month of May in
1852 among the hills of northern New
Jersey. Was educated in Trenton, and
on Christmas night in 1872 was mar
ried in the Presbyterian church in
Trenton, N. j. surrounded by crowd
ed church of young friends. Later was
one of the organizers of a new Presby-
terian church there.
Came to Kansas and Ellis county in
1879, locating among the hills on the
Saline river, and in 1882 starting in at
Hays, becoming an active member of
the Presbyterian church and all the la
dies societies to elevate and improve
our little city, until her death, which
was peaceful, surrounded by her family
and many loving friends.
The funeral took place at her home
on Tuesday, beautiful day, windows
and doors wide open, and the casket
was covered with lovely flowers sent by
kind friends, the Saturday Afternoon
Club, the YIN. & wv. C. A. of the
Normal, the Christian Endeavor, the
Young men of the town, and from Mrs.
Judge Monroe at Topeka and Mrs. M.
E. Dixon at X. G.
The attendance was one of the larg-
est eyer seen in Hays, many farmers
and families driving in from the coun-
try, the services were conducted by
Revs. West & Brown, the Ladies
quartette rendering music that brought
tears to many eyes.
Rev. Brown preached one of his elo-
quent funeral sermons, taking as his
text: 'In My Fathers Home are ma
ny mansions, l go to prepare a place
for you'' impressing on his audience
that this dear friend had only gone
on few months, or years before to
home in that happy land beyond
the skies.
The remains were buried beside he1
little boy in our cemetery, leaving heI
husband and four grown children and
many friends to mourn her death.
