BUSINESS OUTLOOK GOOD.
Dun's Weekly Review Shows Marked
 Improvement in Condition.

New York May 31.--R. T. Dun < Co.'S weekly review Of trade oaeuiuay says: Industrial conditions coh.iiius to improve and arrangements nave been made for the resumption of many nlants next week, while retail trade Ks increased by seasonable Wea.nei There is still degree of conserVaeiSip regarding plans for forward deliveries but definitely better and progress ID i' the direction. although slow Mercan tile collections are more prompt anu money rates are low despite exports of s4o.0oo 900 in gold and treasury withdrawals of $45, 100000.
 In the iron and steel industry 'he increased purchases of raw material have supplied the principal feature this week, numerous moderate si@ea orders aggregating 8 large tonnage and most furnaces restored quotations to the figures prevailing before ths cut last week. Improvement III oe- mand was sufficient to cause resump' ton at more idle plants.
 More interest is shown Tn the dry goods market and cotton mills are steadily increasing the percentage or active machinery. Prices are hrmiy held and 1t is expected that as de- mand broadens there will be much pressure for goods because the exten- sive curtailment has eliminated sup plies usually available to meet urgent orders. There is still disinclination to buy for furture needs both by ]oo- Der and retailer, making a much stronger statistical position has exlst- ed during recent preceding years, when goods were sold ahead for a long period More inquiries from China stiffened export prices which are held above the views of foreign purchasers. It is evident that the woolen goods season will open very late, reports from clethiers salesmen indicating slow distribution. Shoe manufacturers are receiving more or. ders although business still compares with former seasons. Prices are well maintained and the warm weather has stimulated the de 4and from nearby retailers for sum- mer speoialties. Improvement IS slow, but definite in the demand for leather, and tanners anticipate further progress as the season for fall shoes advances.
 Belt manufacturers report a larger volume of business. Further gains are reported in the hide market, especial ly for native and branded steers that produce heavy leather.

Sensational Trout Assault Case Goes ]. to Jury Girl Positively Identifies
 Her Sisters Husband.

Van Buren, July 4.- Ehe Tits,
 worth assault case has been one of the most sensational criminal cases eyer tried in northwest Arr kansas. It began at $ o'clock Friday morning and night ses sions were held, the case reach ing the jury at ? o'clock today. More than 100 witnesses were ex- amined. The father of Miss Trout, the victim of the alleged assault, employed s. K. Chew to assist Prosecuting Attorney James Cochrane while the defendant was represented by Attorneys w H. Neal of Van Buren and ] E London of Alma.
 The accused mans wife and two small children occupied seats beside him during both the day and night sessions and her posi- ton is a much more trying one than that of either her husband or the victim of his alleged crime, for Miss Vadie Trout, who, from the witness char and with con tending emotions depicted upon her countenance pointed trem- bling hand straight into the prisoners face and, in reply to a question asked by Colonel Chew, said: That is the man that as saulted me.
 Again when Judge Evans asked the witness If she understood the penalty for such crime she an- swered in the affirmative aud when again asked by the court that If she, kno wing that her brother-in-law's conviction meant death would sp~ar that he com. mit,ed the crl Q, she answered ives in a cleai ice heard over the crowded coul )om.
 Under rigiG oss-examina- tlon conducted hy Attorney Neal Miss Trout made many contra dictory statements that, in the opinion of many, very materially weakened the states case against the accused.

To Maintain Health

There Is an erroneous idea in the minds of many as to what constitutes a strong physique. A man can be strong physically without great stature and huge muscles. If he has wiry frame, body that resists disease. he can indulge in many hours of severe brain work. He will make it rule. however, to take sufficient physical exercise to keep his system in good working order.

Commander Craven Yielded Life That

The higher and more valuable a life
the more ready It is to lay itself at
the service Of others. II would some
times seem that the sacrifice we're too
great, as in the example instanced by
MIR. Hutchinson In his Battle of Nc
bile Bay" Yet the very act of heroism
impresses the merit of the whole char
acter with a dignity and worth which
carries II far in influence and rev
erenoe.
During the battle a shot from the
shore struck a cask torpedo and ex-
ploded It near the Tecumseh. A hole
was torn in the bottom 20 feet square,
and the ram sank like stone, turn
ing over as IL went down in eight
fathoms of water. One hundred and
ten men out Of 100 we're lost in an in
stant.
Commander Craven, one Of the most
gallant officers Of the service, was in
the pilot-house with the pilot, close to
the only opening in the vessel. There
was only room for one man to pass.
Craven felt himself grasped by the
leg II was the pilot
