LUMBER CO.
OPENS FOR WORK
MONDAY

Officials OF the American Lumber
announced today that the
plant will resume operations Monday
and that force of men Is already
TO go to work.
The company closed down Its plant
here about New Years for the an
nual mid-winter inventory and to
make necessary repairs and overhaul
it's machinery.
The force in the woods, however,
was maintained at its usual strength
and several train load of logs We're
received at the plant here each day
The company has a large supply Of
logs on hand with which to operate
and will continue to receive the usual
shipment each day from the woods.
The few weeks that the plant has
been closed down, have been utilized
to get everything in spick and span
shape within the big fence of the
company's plant.
An official of the company stated
today that it was the intention OF
the company officials to keep the
plant running steadily from now on,
barring accidents to the machinery.
1t has been reported on the streets
for several days that the company
would resume because 1t was known
that men were being employed.
The resumption of work by this
concern will add materially TO the
commercial revenue of the city since
its payroll is a large one.

fifteenth of dts population.
The gaunt ruins of the opera house
which are still standing, are a monu-

New York, Jan. 1S.-Declaring the

Walsh Made Unusual Defense.

Walsh Made Unusual Defense.
]. r. Walsh, the president of the
defunct Chicago National bank, was
today found guilty of misappropriat-
ing the funds of that institution. The
jury, which had been considering the
case since Thursday afternoon,
reached an agreement shortly after
O'Clock this morning but the ver-
dict was not announced until after
the court convened at 10 O'Clock
The penalty under the law for the
crime of which Walsh was convicted
is Imprisonment for a period of not
less than five years. It does not per-
nit substitution of a fine for a
prison term.
The charge against Walsh grew
out of the closing in 1905 of the Chi
cago National bank and its allied in
stitutions, the Home Savings bank
and the Equitable Trust company.
Walsh was accused Of having loaned
funds to these institutions, aggregat-
ing sixteen millions, on fictitious and
insufficiently secured struggling en-
terprises. which he himself founded
and practically owned.
Many notes, It developed at the
trial, were signed without authority
by the name OF various employees OF
Walsh. The directors of the bank
testified they were not consulted by
Walsh about making loans and alleg-
ed Misrepresentation in the reports
to the national bank examiners
which kept them in ignorance of the
true condition OF the banks finan-
ces.
Walsh admitted nearly all OF the
transactions charged against him, but
clung To the defense that all he did
was for the good Of the banks ne
headed and no one lost anything in
consequence of them.

FARM ERS' SCHOOL.
Second Day Shows Largely Increased
 Interest.

Auburn, July 31.-(Special.)-Th second day of the Farmers Summer school at Auburn was a record-breaker in attend ance and interest. Every incoming train brings new men. The questions increase in number and become more pointed and direct showing that the farmers are after real useful knowledge.
 The concrete silo in process of con- struction is attracting attention and is a great object lesson to everyone
 Joe Wing is giving the farmers some of his best lectures. c. K. McQuarrie's s lecture on tomatoes gave the truck farm CTS most valuable advice on fertilizing, planting, cultivating and marketing to- matoes.
 The programme for today was as fol- lows:
 "The Reasons for Eradicating the Cat tie Tick and How to do It"-Dr. c. A. Cary.
 Corn Breeding, Corn Selecting and Cultivation'-Joe Wing.
 Rotation of Crops on a Cotton Farm prove the Soil'-Prof. L. N. Duncan.
 Rotation of Crops in Connection With a Dairy"-C. K McQuarrie.
 Nitrogen and Phosphorus in Fertilizer Prof. B. B. Ross.
 Preparation of Soil, Selection of Seed Planting, Cultivating, Spraying, Fertiliz- ing and Marketing of Tomatoes"-C K. McQuarrie.

Political Situation.

The political situation here is un- changed. The administration faction to- night held a meeting in the Second ward while the antis held a meeting in the Third. Both sides are very confident of victory. It is understood that beginning next week large meetings will be held at the opera house by both factions. Next Thursday night the Equal Rights club will meet in the Fifth ward and prom inent speakers will reply to the speeches of the Sugg meeting on last Wednesday.
 It Is very probable that joint debates will be held from time to time after this meeting. Different issues are claimed by the different factions to be paramount in the campaign. Some say bossism, while other say landlordism. Some say the re- cent change In the school superintendent while others say equalization of taxes" Some say municipal ownership of water works, while others say a square deal. A certain element Is calling for a wide open town, while others believe in keep ing the lid on tight. It Is very probable that when the smoke blows over the only issue remaining will be the personality of the candidates.
 Miss Margaret Wright and Miss Ruth Phillips are spending the week with Mrs. R. s. Hickman, who is camping at St. Clair Springs.

Dun G Co.'s Review.

New York, July 31-R. G. Dun's weekly review of trade tomorrow will says:
 Trade reports continue to indicate mod crate gains each week, although progress is irregular. Some sections make much better exhibits than others, the south west leading, while improvement Is slow est at the east. There is also similar irregularity in returns from the indus tries, some occupations gaining steadily while others proceed erratically. The net result, however, is a larger volume of business in the aggregate and com parisons with this time last year are es- pecially cheering, when it is considered that year ago all records up to that time were being eclipsed. More plants have resumed wholly or partly. but there are still many unemployed.
 At further slight reduction in price of Bessemer pig iron the Pittsburg mar ket has experienced increased activity, and other material markets are somewhat buster, including coke ovens at Connells- ville Most finished steel lines are quiet, new contracts coming forward slowly and for small quantities. Each week the pro- duction of all the mills increases slightly.
 More inquiries are received in the pri- mary markets for cotton goods, and there is a hopeful feeling regarding the future but actual transactions are still restrict ed. Purchases so long have been of a mana to inoutn nature that more UT iess frequent sales are necessary to meet the wants of the trade, but speculative oper- ations are almost unknown. Some whole sale clothiers have concluded initial op- erations. although all woolens have not been opened, especially the better grades of goods. The feature of the market is the resistance to fabrics of lower prices, of which additional lines may be opened at any time.
 New England shoe manufacturers re- port business quiet.
 The market for hides shows an advance in prices.

TRADE REPORTS
 0N THE UPGRADE Preparations Are Being Made for Increased Fall Business BUYING IS CONSERVATIVE Shoe Business Is Better In General Than Any Other Line, While Iron
 and Lumber Are Improving
 Slowly But Surely.
BUYING IS CONSERVATIVE

New York, July 31.-Bradstreets to- morrow will say
 Trade, crop and industrial reports show little change from last week, but general tendencies and certainly senti- ment are in the direction of moderate improvement Preparations for the opening of fall jobbings trade in the first week of August are making in all cities, buyers are gathering in large numbers, and full representation with increased buying Is looked for. At d few cities July trade has not been up to expectations, but at New York. where a moderate increase In activity Is noted, there has been a disposition to await forthcoming large auction sales of cotton and wooden goods as offering a line on future demand Best reports of fall trade come from the central west, northwest and the south.
 Everywhere, however, the testimony is that buying is of a conservative character. In industry there are evil dences of expansion in some lines and of contraction in others. Factories gen orally are running simply Ion orders" In iron and steel orders and production of finished lines are larger, but pig iron is easier. d
 Lumber trade reports are a trifle bet ter.
 The leather trade as a whole sends one of the best reports, but while west ern sh oe men report good orders ahead, eastern shipments are 32 per cent be- hind last year. Prices are irregular.
 Business failures in the United States for the week ending July 30, number 253 against 263 last week, and 142 in the like week of 1907. Canada failures for the same period are 32 as against "A last week, and Is in this week last year.
 Wheat, including four exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending July 30, aggregate 2,605,- 99S bushels against 2,529,922 last week, and 2,739,836 this week last year. For the five weeks ending July 30 this year the exports are 11,408,449 bush els. against 12,690,767 in the corresponding period last year.
 Corn exports for the week are 15,923 bushels, against 73,S9O last week, and 1,6Os,121 In 1907.

Dog Threatened Panic.

By the presence Of mird, Rufus Mathews, manager of the Airdome, a panic was averted at that place tonight. An in- offensive dog had gained entrance to the place and for some reason it began to howl Some irresponsible party in the rear cried Mad dog" As there had been several mad dogs seen in this vicin- ity lately rush was made for the exit, while great many people climbed on the seats. The audience was very much excited when the manager stepped to the piano and requested one of the perform CTS to sing song, which he did, and in few minutes the audience quieted down and panic was averted. The Airdome was packed at the time and had it not been for the quick action of MT. Mathews very different story might have been told tonight.
