The case is that of Joseph c. Finnell

PROSPERITY HAS ARRIVED,
SAY GOVERNMENT OFFICERS
Bureau of Statistics Issues Bulletin
Showing How Business Is BOOM
ing Everywhere

WASHINGTON, Nov Prosperity
has arrived, according to a statement
issued today by the bureau of statis-
tics of the department of commerce
and labor.
During September the business of
the country and the volume of freight
cars reached proportions which excelled
those of the same month last year. In
fact, while the number of idle cars at
the end of last month had not alto
gether disappeared, there were indi-
cations that a car shortage would de-
velop quickly.
These improved conditions are most
pronounced in the coal and iron trade.
The movement of lumber also was
somewhat heavier.
There was a considerable slump in
the receipts of grain and flour at the
four leading seaports. and receipts of
grain at fifteen of the principal in
terror markets likewise were below the
aggregate for September, 1908.
a similar condition is uncovered in
the shipment OF packing house prod
ucts from Chicago, the chief slump
being on canned meats, which show a
relative loss over the corresponding
figures of 1908 of approximately As
per cent

kicking him In the face after knocking
him down with a bludgeon in order 10
obtain a confession.

that to escape losing his mind he
pleaded guilty to anything the police
asked him.
