Sounds a Warninq.

Advices received in the office of Insur- ance Commissioner Frank N. Julian, pur- porting to prove violations of code sec tions 45S1 and 45S2, have called from the insurance department notes of warning against insurng in unauthorized-compa nies. According to the information fur nished the department, which come from the International Protective association of Wilkesbarre, Pa., an agent posing as a solicitor of that company has been issuing policies of that company without license so to do. The company in par ticular, moreover, has written MT. Julian that it has no soliciting agent in this state. and that policies purporting to be policies of that company are frauds.
 The sections above referred to permit the placing of insurance in unauthorized companies when the person so nsuring makes return of the action to the de- pertinent, paying 1 per cent on the gross premiums paid on the insurance. Other- wise, doubt is expressed as to whether the claim for losses would be compelled Semmes' Centenary Celebration. pr. Thomas M.

ficer, or the state bacterioogist, to visit promptly every locality in which the dis ease may appear; neither is 1t necessary The physician in charge of the patient and the local health officials can do all that is necessary to be done without call ing for any outside help.
 It is very important that all cases be reported fully and completely. With the view of getting such reports a special blank is herewith transmitted on which you will be expected to make reports to this office of any cases that come to your knowledge. It is to be hoped that you will take pains in filling out these blanks as fully as it can possibly be done, for this is the first step to take toward arriving at some definite idea as to the causation of the disease.
 You are urged to lay the blanks here with sent you away carefully and to fill them out promptly and forward to this office, should you have occasion so to do. All physicians who have opportuni- ties to observe the disease can contribute to a solution of its cause and mode of propagation by forwarding full reports to this office. Reports of cases should also be sent to your county or city health officer, as the case may be, but these reports can be forwarded to them on the small yellow blanks used for reporting in- fectious diseases.
 An earnest appeal is made to the pro- fession of the state to aid in studying the disease, which may be efficiently done by promptly reporting all cases on the en- closed blanks to this office.
 It is taken for granted that all physi- clans in the state have read articles on pellagra in the journals within the last year or two. If so, they have obtained about all of the information on the sub ject that is known So far as the thera- peutics of the disease is concerned no es- tablished line of treatment has been adopted. Naturally, any physician would treat a case of the disease in accordance with what appeared to kim to be the most rational plan. Perhaps arsenic has been given more than any other remedy Transmission of blood from patients that have recovered from the disease has been successfully employed in the in- sane hospitals of the state and elsewhere This remedy is therefore worthy of trial in appropriate cases and in skilled hands Physicians are requested to keep care- full records of the treatments given their patients with the view of establishing what seems to be the best line of treat ment. w.

GOOD OUTLOOK IN
 TRADE REPORTS Improvement Is Sh own In Job- ping and Wholesale Lines CROP MOVEMENT LARGER Many Manufacturers Report That They Are Behind on Deliveries, While Best Reports Come From
 West and Northwest.
CROP MOVEMENT LARGER

New York, September 17-Bradstreet's tomorrow will say
 A distinctly stronger undertone is dis played in this weeks telegraphed trade reports. Improvement in wholesale and jobbing demand, enlargement of indus trial output and perceptible gains in col lections are the central facts this week. Satisfactory progress, too, appears to be making in agricultural matters, with the exception of cotton The movement of crops and general merchandise is en- larging, and this week finds widely noted the reports that manufacturers of many lines are behind on deliveries, and that the idle car list is still decreasing large ly There are, of course, some shadows in the general picture, due mainly, how ever, to early anticipatons of crop out puts, or of business turnover having been keyed too high. At some cities disappoint- ment is expressed at the proportions of wholesale and jobbing demand, though at the same time admission is made of the fact that 1908 and 1907 aggregates are be- ing heavily exceeded.
 Retail trade as whole and some of the branches of jobbing trade catering to heavy weight demands report warm weather a bar to fullest activity. Export trade in leading agricultural products is at very low ebb, and while collections, helped by large spring wheat and cotton crop movement are better, there is still claimed to be much room for improve ment to this respect in some sections of the south, extensions of time of payment on spring business are asked.
 Best reports as to current trade come from the central west and northwest, where q free crop movement stimulates demand and helps collections.

Dun & Co.'s Review.


 New York, September 17.-R G. Dun S Co.'S weekly review Of trade tomorrow will say:
 In spite of prevailing high prices which in some lines work for curtailment of operations, the volume of trade continues not only largely m excess of last year, but is even approximating the records of 1907. Most noteworthy is the continuing expan- sion In iron and steel trade, the latter now displaying most of the eagerness 10 close contracts at prevailing prices. The sales of steel rails are the heaviest in two years, while there has been a de- crease of 32 per cent Tn a month in the number of idle cars.
 Copper makes a less favorable showing tl.an some weeks ago, and during August production exceeded the demand, with a resulting increase in the surplus stocks.
 The height of the jobbng season in dry goods is past but there is very con siderable business offered in small lots from retailers and others, who bought cautiously in their first transaction, and who are manfestly pursuing a hand-to- mouth policy in relation to new stocks. In cotton goods and yarns the effort to lift up selling prices to parity with raw cotton continues as the chief feature of interest Buyers will pay asking prices when their needs force them, and the progress of readjustment of stock re- quirements appears to be making steady headway.
 There has been a fair export trade in prints, but Oriental markets are quiet Domestics exported from New York this year to date amount to 2S3, 1894 bales, same time last year only 126,335. Domestic dress goods show better tone.
 Marked dullness continues to rule in the footwear market, the deadlock between buyers and sellers regarding prices still being unbroken. The domestic hide mar ket Is firmly held, but some foreign hides are lower. The leather market showed improved demand.

l the tragedy. They both testified that 1 young Williams confessed to having | killed his father, saying that he did it be- cause his father had threatened to kill him. They each said that young Williams ! told them that his father had abused and
 beaten him until life had become un- bearabe. On cross-examnation Speed and Crane testified that young Williams
 had said he killed his father in self-de-
 fense.
 Guy Robinson was the next witness called His testimony, in substance, was
 that he had visited young Williams at his home about a week before the trag- edy and that the latter had shown him a
 new pistol that he had bought, but did
 not tel him what he intended doing with
 the weapon. The state rested its case at 12 o'clock

 who testified in his own behalf The lad
 was perfectly cool and collected when he took the witness stand and faced the
 jury to tell of having shot his father
 to death. The story he told was identi-
 cal with that published as his confession.
 He said his father had brutally beaten { him on many occasions and that he
 had grown to expect death at his pa
 rents hands at any time. He declared that the climax was reached when his father threatened to kill him on the night of the tragedy. He secured his pistol and fired from the dark as his father was rising from the evening meal
 The story was told frankly and impress
 sively and the fierce grilling of Attorney Anderson in the cross examination failed
 to shake him in the least Mrs. Williams.
 mother of Ollie and widow of the dead man, testified and corroborated the story of her son in important particulars. Court
 adjourned at o'clock.
 There are still large number of wit
 nesses to testify and the case will carry ! the term over into next week. The trial l is attracting widespread interest, the 1 town being crowded with people from 1 the surrounding country and the court
 room is too small to accommodate all , who are eager to hear the trial Federal court was adjourned for the 1 term this afternoon. Judge Niles gave peremptory instructions to the jury to find
