TRADE IS HELD BACK.
Cold Weather Retards Business
Throughout the Country.

New York, March 1S-Bradstreet s
says:
Distributive trade is still quiet more
so, perhaps, than in recent weeks, be-
cause visiting buyers have returned
home to wait indications of the trend
of spring retail distributions. The lat
ter branch of trade has been in turn
checked by cool snap which over
spread large area of the west and
northwest and which, not sufficient to
stimulate demand for left over winter
goods, has operated to retard business
Tor spring wear.
OF the leading lines of wearing ap-
parel. perhaps most activity, largely
at wholesale. has been in millinery, in
which the tone is really optimistic
Staple dry goods have sold fairly we'll
but price or tariff uncertainties are
check to free buying. There is a feel
ing in the wholesale cotton goods
trade, however, that the line of resis-
lance to lower prices has now beer
reached and this is fortified by the
closing down or curtailment of opera
tions by many mills north and south.
Collections are irregular, ranging
from fair to SLOW In the industries
the features are a rather less eager
movement to buy iron and Steel but
against this is larger capacity en-
ployed in furnace and mill than for
sentative, the railways are purchasing
in cautious way and the higher
prices demanded for pig iron have ap-
parently superinduced something of
lull in that market. At the same
time export trade in steel products
promises to continue of goodly pro-
portions.

The second place was captured by
university who spoke on Roosevelt
which seemed to be a popular theme
to judge from the applause which was
given. De Witt Lee. the Washburr
representative. was adjudged third best
man. He spoke on 1.-THE Developm emf
of American IDEALS and his delivery
was particularly pleasing
The standing of the other contest
ants was as follows: B. W. Folsom,

lawyer and former member of the
legislature. Mrs. George P. Stitt OF
Topeka is his aunt
For an hour before the speaking
finally began, at 8:45 O'Clock. one
might have imagined that all Bedlam
had been turned loose. The rooters
who hailed from the nine colleges rep
resented and were present for the oc-
casion about seven hundred strong,
were divided into groups with pen
nants held aloft, each group endeavor-
ing to Guido the others in respect to
amount of noise.
II must Dc dOnl1II6Q LndI the nom
ors in this regard are due Wash burn
college, but then it must be taken into
consideration that the institution was
represented by between three and four
hundred supporters. 1t will have to
be confessed that on account of the
face that there seemed to be a COM
hine against the home college there
of the other rooters completely drown
Ell out the Washburnites. In fact at
one stage of the yelling the aggre-
cation from Baker university stood up
the individuals having been instructed
to make the most noise possible re-
gardless of how it was done
At the close of the contest, which
taken as whole, was not brilliant
enc, the Ottawa contingent filled with
elation over the victory won by jerks,
their boy orator." lifted the lion of
the hour above their shoulders and
carried him to Kansas avenue.
In his grafton on Hamilton and the
Nation" young jerks brought out in
q clear and impressive manner the
facts concerning the important part
which Alexander Hamilton played in
the years following the close of the
more in Ottawa university and MEM
Der of literary society.
The State Oratorical association held
a meeting at the Throop hotel prior
to the contest, with the result that a
committee was appointed to draw up
an amendment to the constitution.
which would make it possible to bar
those who have received money for
speaking on any previous occasion.
The College Editors association met
Friday afternoon in the Carnegie IL
brary at Washburn college and a
short program was carried out after
which q reception was rendered the
guests by the staff of the Washburn
Review.

THREATEN DETECTIVES LIFE
If MCNAMARAS ARE CON-
VICTED OF VILE crime.
He Receives Letter Which Purports
to Be Signed by One of Three Alleged
Dynamiters-Says Writer Is Guilty
of Crimes Charged Against Others
Sleuth Burns Changes Plans.

Chicago, April 30.-A threat to kill
w. j. Burns and everybody connected
with the prosecution of the men accused
of the los Angeles Times dynamiting,
if the McNamaras are convicted, was
received Saturday by Mr.. Burns, and it
was signed with the name of M. j.
Schmidt, one of the three men accused
of planting the internal machines al
legged to have wrecked the building and
sent 21 persons into eternity.
The writer not only declares, with
many threats and much profanity, that
the McNamaras are not guilty, but takes
upon himself the whole burden of the
crime, saying he engineered and carried
out the plot alone.
The letter was written to the office
of the Burns Detective Agency, and
was forwarded here. 1t may change Mr..
Burns plans somewhat. He went to
indianapolis and expected to go from
there to Los Angeles. Now, however,
he may make run to New York first.

ERECT MEERSCHAUM MILL.
Big New Mexico Deposit to Be Worked,
It Is Reported.

Hanover, N. Interpretations are be-
ing made to utilize the large deposit
of meerschaum near here on an ex-
tensive scale. 1t is announced that
mill will be erected to extract and re-
fine the clay. Owing to the nature of
the deposit OF formation, the meer-
schaum here is not suitable for work
ing in the manner that is practiced in
the mines of Europe. 1t exists here in
grains instead of in solid blocks. The
company has done some business in
grinding the produce and shipping it
east, where it was solidifed and made
into pipes. Experiments have shown
that the meerschaum can be made more
valuable by being put through a pro-
cess of refining.
