The husband arranged for the removal of
the corpse, and 1t was taken to an under
takers establishment to be prepared for
burial. The funeral will probably take
place tomorrow.

it's superiority It's superior because the goods were
bought in New York whereas most dealers buy in
the Twin Cities. It's superior because the goods
were bought from the manufacturers, not the job
bers. It's superior because the goods will be found
to be about year ahead Of the other lines shown
in this town. Having purchased direct from the
makers there jobbers profit added to our prices
About 33h % is what we figured on saving our
trade almost every item, some we will save you
one-half. There will be no old, shelf-worn goods
shown in our display, principally because we didn't
have any left last year We price our goods at such
reasonable figures that they have always sold out
completely This year prices lower than they
have ever been. II you have never favored us with
your business, now would be good time to call and
inspect our stock and get our prices You won't find

superior advantages because trade is constantly
increasing. Theremust be SOME fire where there is
so MUCH smoke. Anyway, it won't cost you any
thing but your time to call and get our prices and see
our line. We mark all goodsin plain figures which
means that you can buy as cheap as anyone else.

FLEET WILL NOT STAY.
1t Is Discovered That 1t Will Not Be
Needed in Pacific.

Washington, Oct. 25. - President
Roosevelt has no idea of leaving Ak-
nira1 Evans fleet in the Pacific but in
tends to order it's return within 80 days
of its arrival or the California coast.
One important conclusion is to be
drawn from this now established fact
that the fleet is to return almost as
soon as the great ships can be cleaned
up, replenish their supplies of coal and
provisions and otherwise made COM
p1etely ready for the $4,000 miles return
cruise. The conclusion is that the eX-
ecutive feels absolutely no apprehension
respecting the possibility of war with
Japan, and the short stop at the turn
ing point will amply demonstrate the
truth of the statement hcrSt1fore made
from authorized sources that the pur-
pose of the cruise is to test the capa-
bilities oe a modern battleship fleet un-
der condition almost as trying in the
point of endurance at least as might
be expected to ari Sc in actual warfare.
1t was pointed ont in authoritative
quarters that TN erroneous impression
has been obtained to the enormous
activity of the Japanese in the matter
of war preparations. 1t is learned from
government agents after investigation
of most of these reports that Japan is
not in the market as large purchaser
of war material but on the other hand
appears to be diligently pursuing the
ways of peace and struggling to re-
cover from the effects of her recent
war.

HELD UP A FREIGHT.
Robbers Took $3.50 and Two Watches
From the Crew.

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 25.-Three
armed men last night held up a
freight train within five miles of this
city wounded one of the train crew,
robbed them of $3.50 and two watches
and made their escape.
The train was a suburban freight
bound for New Alhambra. 1t is be-
lieved that the robbers boarded it be-
fore it started from the yards The
engineers fireman and head brake
man were in the cab when their as
sailants climbed over the box cars and
covered them with revo1vers and or
dered them to throw up their hands.
While one of their number remain
ed in the oil tank, extending a revol-
yer in either hand, the two accom-
plices searched Fireman Matthew
Brady; Engineer Ward Haines, and
Brakeman J. w. Woolsman, taking
all their money and the watches car
ried by Brady and Haines. Brady OBJ
jected at first to raise his hands and
afterwards lowered them. One of the
men on the oil tank fired, the bullet
striking the fireman in one of his
hands
Near Dolgeville the engineer was
ordered to slow down and the men,
one after another, jumped from the
engine and disappeared in the dark
ness.

BETTER THAN EVER.
Jacob Schiff Says Are Prospects for
Continued Prosperity.

New York. Oct. 25-Timely action on
the part of men of wealth and inf1u-
ence has served to act as oil on the
troubled waters of finance and New
York, which has been the center of a
money storm for several days in which
many interests have been sorely buff
feted, began business today under con-
ditions of the most optimistic nature.
On all sides are heard expressions of
confidence that the community has now
safely weathered the gale. Early to-
day Secretary of the Treasury Cortel-
you was SO encouraged over the out
look that he was prompted to say:
THE situation has improved so much
that I have no further statement to
make for the present.
The Trust Company of America got
about s10,O00,0O0 worth of pounding
Yesterday and started off today smil-
ing and confident as it were, with mil
lions more stacked on it's counters to
pay out to timid depositors. Three
small savings banks were in distress
yesterday and were forced to suspend
temporarily on account of heavy runs
but these institutions will have no ap-
preciable effect in the general situa-
ton as none of them is in anywise
what may be termed representative
bank of New York.
A meeting of financiers who are
graphing with the whole banking situ-
alton was prolonged until early today.
To prepare for the demands of depoSi-
TORS To-Day, anu trust COmpdn-
les presidents met in the art gallery
Of J. P. Morgan's home at midnight.
Present were E. H. Hartman, J. Ed
ward Simmons, president of the Fourth
National bank, and member of the
clearing house committee; George w.
Perkins and President Oakleigh
Thorne, of the Trust Company of
America. After the meeting it was
announced that there was no statement
to give out.
1t is expected that the mastery
stroke of ]. 2. Morgan and his asso-
ciates in turning in $40, 900, 900 into Wall
street, the deposit in local banks of
$25, ,OOO, 900 by Secretary Cortelyou and
the further action of John d. Rookie
Teller in coming to the front with s10,-
OOO 900 for the Union Trust company's
use will effectually stem the tide of
panicky conditions. Leading bankers
and business men view the situation in
confident and hopeful vein. Henry
Clews has this to say:
"A year hence, now that certain
undesirable element has been elinina-
ted from active part in financial cir
cles confidence having been restored in
market values, the people will look
hack on this situation with sa tIsfaction.
To my mind the public worry is an
and unwarranted condi-
ton today"
Jacob Schiff believes the situation
we'll in hand and he looks for no more
trouble.
II NAV be said, according to promi-
nent men here who have talked on the
subiect that more conspicuous than
any other collateral feature of the dis
tnrhance has been the fact that they
