Such life as Jesse James led was
bound to eliminate in tragedy. Coy
ernor Crittenden, of Missouri, disguised
at the futile efforts Of officers and de-
tectives to take him, offered a reward
of $4,000 for his capture. One Bob"
Ford, with his brother Charles, deter
mined to secure this sum. They had
won the confidence of the outlaw, the
solitary instance, perhaps, in which his
Judgment Of men led him astray. These
boys had the freedom Of the James
home They were both there one warm
day in 1882. Because of the heat Jesse
had removed coat and vest andthen laid
aside his arms, lack Of precaution he
had never before been known to eXhib-
it, Observing that a picture on the
wall was askew, he mounted chair
to adjust 1t. This gave the Fords their
chance. They had edged between Jesse
James and the bed on which lay his
pistols. Bob then shot him in the back
of the head There were a few gasps
and Jesse James, bandit and outlaw,
was dead. He lived just long enough
to be gathered into the arms of his
wife. The revolver that was used for
his undoing had been his own gift to
the man who used 1t. The Fords got
their money, pardon from the Gov
ernor and the detestation Of even the
enemies of Jesse James. Thereafter
they knew no peace. There was none
so mean as to extend a hand to them.
Charles Ford committed suicide in
Richmond. There were no mourners.
Bob Ford drifted to Colorado, became
an unwelcome habitue Of gambling
halls and was shot in a drunken brawl.
For long there has hung In the Sam
uels home q framed scroll bearing this
Inscription:
In Loving Remembrance of my Beloved
Son
JESSE W. JAMES

Aged 81 years 6 months % DAYS,
Murdered by Traitor and Coward
Whose Name is not Worthy to Appear
Here.
Such is a brief sketch of Jesse
James, dauntless, desperate, brutal, q
soldier Of vengeance, who warred upon
society, his hand against every man,
his legacy the memory of bitterness.
At once loving and merciless, the
strange and paradoxical product of
heredity and environment, it may be
said Of him, eve never shall see his
like again." but in the saying there
can be no cadence of sorrow.-Henry
James in Philadelphia Ledger.

nal course. Jesse had with him Bill An
derson, the Centralia butcher, and four
of the Younger brothers, as well az
some others, including his own brother
Frank. Frank has been for many years
now d reputable, law-abiding 1ndlvld-
ual. He always lacked initiative, and
never had a 1.-THE Of the singular abll-
ity of Jesse. The first act known 20
have been committed by the gang was
the robbery of bank at Corydon, iowa,
a bold and open raid, which the per
petrators announced to gathering or
citizens as they rode away, firing their
pistols. In July, 1878, they robbed
train on the G. r. |. & 2. near Council
Bluffs, numbering an unarmed engl-
neer. At intervals followed robbery
on the Iron Mountain, netting $4,000;
one on the Union Pacific, where the
loot was $4,000, and another with
$1,000 haul on the Missouri Pacific. In
each instance there was displayed ut
ter Indifference as to the killing or
trainmen or passengers, although pos
sibly an inclination to leave a few dead
to lend impressiveness to the occasion.
With sporadic outbreaks the James
gang did nothing especially notable
after the Missouri Pacific robbery I'M
til September, 1876, when they under
took to rob bank at Northf1eld, Mimi.
The citizens fought good fight upon
learning that the bank cashier had been
killed Bill Caldwell, Clell Miller and
Charley Pitts were shot to death and
Bob and Jim Younger, with Jesse
James, were wounded. The wounded
Youngers, together with their brother
Cole, were captured and sentenced to
prison for life Bob died in prison,
Cole and Jim were pardoned in 1901,

10 Prosperous Fall.

Dispatches to Dams Review indicate
no check 10 the gradual Improvement
in the volume Of business, except in so
far as excessive rain has delayed oper-
ations in the Southwest.
Merchants and manufacturers at BOs-
ton speak with more confidence OF the
future, the process Of readjustment pro
ceeding satisfactorily, and weather con
ditiOns are favorable for retail trade,
while manufacturing plants increase
output. Sales of materials for manu-
featuring are larger at Philadelphia,
and there is less idle machinery at the
mills and factories. Many building
contracts are under consideration, but
competition is keen.
Fewer men are idle at Pittsburg, and
further contemplated resumption IN the
leading Industries is improving the out
look for general trade.
Duplicate Orders Increase.
Duplicate orders increase at Balti-
more, indicating that retailers md sales
beyond expectations, but the large num-
Der Of unemployed still affects trade at
the smaller stores. particularly in sub
urban districts. More confidence I'm

buying for distant delivery and the re-
ductlon IN steel prices is having a good
effect on the hardware market. Shoe
factories are not active ami collections
are unsatisfactory. There is little i'm
provement IN business at New Orleans.
country merchants buying only IN small
amounts for immediate use. and jobbers
complain Of dull business and slow col
Iections.
orders for Immediate shipment are
numerous "a St louis. and there is also
more business for distant delivery. Re
tail trade shows some activity and col
leCtiuns are fair. Kansas City reports
retail trade about equal 10 that OF a
year ago, but wholesale business is
somewhat less owing to excessive rains.
Chicago Retailers Active.
SeasonabIe weather stimulates retail
trade At Chicago, especially in light
weight wearing apparel, household uten-
sis ana vacation goods. Dealers stocks
have become depleted. and duplicate
orders come from both city and cOun-
try. Retail trade is satisfactory at
Cleveland. weather conditions being IA
vorable, and the industrial situation
improves. Trade at Cincinnati is more
active as the season advances, but still
falls behind last years. Revision OF dry
goods prices has enlarged demand.
Wholesale movement of merchandise
expands slowly at Minneapolis. mer-
chants increasing orders IS better
weather encourages belief IN large
crops. Summer fabrics are quiet at ST.
Paul because weather conditions are
unfavorable TO distribution. and colleC-
tons are irregular. Exports continue
light AT San Francisco. but the over

A backward spring has retarded re-

NEW YORK, June 12.-During the
past week things have been different
on the stock market. and the story Of
activity and strength has given place
10 a tale Of great dullness. to sliding
down prices. and 10 utter indifference
on the part OF the general public. IN
the course Of the -price-range.
There were To especially Hnfavora BILE
developments. but it was recognized
that there was really no good reason
for the big advances since the middle
of March. gains that were forced on
nerve and insolence of Mr.. Hartman
and his allies. that railroad earnings
were bad, and showing little improve
ment; that the various important rail-
roads would have to issue bonds for
betterments snd for refundinC Of ma
turing obligations.
The Erie again came TO the front as
a disturbing element. It was but a
short time ago that a receivership was
feared, and now the same fear exists
again. New York Central has issued
bunch Of new bonds. $4,000. 900; Della
ware and Hudson is planning an issue.

there is but little chance of nucn
change.
