Potlach-The demand for lumber is
steadily increasing and the big mill at
TINS place IS grinding out orders day
and night. Preparations are being
made tor the biggest cut of timber
ever made on the Palouse river. 1t is
the intention of the Potlach company
to cut not less than 60,000,000 feet and
this amount of logs will keep the mill
at Palouse and Potlatch running eight
months.
Already four camps have been es-
tablished in the woods up river, with
400 men at work. One hundred more
will be put to work in very few days,
making 500 in all. Instead of horses
the donkey engine is now used as a
means of motive power and this has
cut down the payrolls materially.

DIR. RUSTIN TRIED TO DIE.
Victim of Shooting Had Been At
tempting Suicide for Three Years.

The death by shooting of DIR. Frederick
Rustin in Omaha recently, whether it was
murder or suicide, reveals the fact that
for three gears DR.. Rustin had made re-
peated attempts 10 kill himself in such
way that suicide would not be suspected.
The first attempt was made in April,
1900, when he told several of his friends
that he would soon be a dead man, but
refused to say why or what would cause
his DEATH y short time later he reported
malignant cancer in his throat. lie
tried to have this operation performed in
Omaha but failed. and nothing more was
heard of the cancer. The next attempt
was made several months later, when he
sent to the meteorological laboratory of
the University of Chicago and procured
two test tubes containing pure cultures,
one of tetanus and the other typhoid.
These tubes he carried in his pocket for
days, exhibiting them to friends and tell
ing them what would happen should he
take them. Two weeks later Rustin was
taken down with typhoid. He grew worse
and the physicians whom he called in
could not handle the case. He sank
until he became deliriOus and after long,
hard siege he recovered. Still another
attempt at novel suicide is reported on
Rustin's part, it being said he opened
the veins in his wrist when a train on
which he was passenger was wrecked. He
did not die, however, and was paid acct
dent insurance which is said TO have been
refunded by him.

In a desolate wood near Seven Oaks, a

More arrests have been made in the
Alabama mining district, where a strike
of the coal miners for better wages has
been in progress, fifteen men being charg-
cd with dynamiting the hous,s of nom
union workers. In the Jellico mining re-
gion of Tennessee the whites have driven
out many of the negro miners. some of
the latter being protected by the sheriff
and armed deputies. On the 18th house
occupied by a negro woman was burned,
and she with her five children persisted
in the flames. President Lewis of the
miners union has ordered the striking
miners in the Hudson mine in Indiana
back to work on penalty of FORGETTING
their charter. The new scale of wages
accepted in the Pennsylvania Iron and
Steel Mills makes a 10 per cent reduc-
ton. At New York about 10000 coat
tailors are on strike because of an al
legged reduction in tneir pay.

CHICAGO.

The labor holiday and hot weather to
some extent affected the course of bust
ness. Movements of commodities are seen
to be comparatively lower and crop mar
ketings disclose a sharp falling off, while
the volume of payments through the
banks makes low aggregate. Otherwise,
the dominant conditions remain encourag-
ing. the recent improvement being sus-
tanned in the leading industries and distri-
button of general merchandise.
Fall buying is now in full swing and
extends to a wider variety of staples and
finished products. Operations in dry
goods, clothing and footwear run into
gratifying totals. with the attendance of
outside buyers exceeding all previous rec
0rds for the season.
Heavyweight apparel. woolens and
blankets ordered for early forwarding
compare favorably with a year ago, and
there is stronger demand for food pro-
ducts, furniture leather goods and hard
ware.
The general buying confirms previous
advices that stocks at most interior points
are low, but the replenishing process pro-
ceeds cautiously, and there is no danger
that anticipatiOns of future requirements
will be overestimated.
Mercantile credits appear TO be now in
healthy position. money is more plenti-
full throughout the agricultural sections,
and there is a growing tendency of buy
ers to secure all possible advantageous
discounts on purchases at this time.

BOMB MAILED GOVERNOR.
Postoffice Authorities Perhaps Save
Life of New Jersey Executive.


Prompt action on the part of the
postal authorities at Philadelphia pre-
vented Governor Fort of New Jersey
from receiving an internal machine
which was mailed to him in that city.
The continuance was mailed the day
after the utterance of the Governor
with reference TO his purpose to see
that the law was enforced at Atlantic
City. 1t contained enough explosive to
kill the person opening it. The pack
age was stopped in the Office at Phila-
ficlphia because it lacked sufficient post
age
The Governor was advised of the
fact that the package was there, and
also that it WAS believed to contain ex-
r,,sives, and he replied Immediately
authorizing the opening of rhe package.
1t was an ingenious continuance of
matches, powder and bullets, and would
have inflicted severe injury upon the
person Opening it had it been done in
he usual manner.
The parcel had been addressed by
cutting out the lines Gov. Fort and
Sea Girt, N. j.. from newspaper and
passing the same on the package
Pasted all over the explosive package
were any number of inscriptions, such
as and the gun against this rotten
government" Get right with God
and You will know me better after we
are acquainted" All but the first OF
these had been clipped from newspa-
pers. That was printed with ink on
a long strip of cardboard. There was
also piece of red, white and blue rib
mon and button Of military uni
form. Pasted ON one of the tubes were
the names of some five or six Of the
national trusts. including the whisky,
rubber and tobacco trusts.
