Business Generally in Fair Volume,
but Some Disposition Shown to
Await Crop Results.
MISUNDERSTANDING trade is con.
fined to actual needs and shows some
improvement over past few weeks,
particularly in foodstuffs and provis-
ions. Soil and weather conditions
continue most favorable for growing
crops. The lumber situation cOntin
ues strong with prices holding steady
and increasing in some grades.
st. Paul.-Business with wholesale
jobbers and manufacturers Is season
ably normal. The current demand for
merchandise in many lines Is heavier
than at this period a year ago and
orders booked for future delivery also
show some increase, though mer-
chants display an inclination to hold
back awaiting crop developments.
Rams and cold weather the past week
somewhat retarded retail sales, but
there is manifest confidence on the
part of both wholesale and retail deal
ers.
Omaha.-Dry goods jobbers report
bushes for May as fully up to the best
former record for that month. Retail
.ers continue to make plans for fall
business on a larger scale than here.

merchandise Is more noticeable. Hard

enthusiastic over crop prospects, and
though the adjacent territory has had
a slight excess of moisture, there have
been practically no floods or damage.
Kansas City.-lntermittent showers

rains, have retarded to a great extent
spring planting in Kansas. The rain
fall has bee unusually heavy and in
some parts. of Kansas was accompan,
led by hail. Very little damage re-
suited however, as the hail was con.

ports of brilliant wheat crop prospects
are still received. Wholesale bust

THE PRIZE RING TRAGEDY.

Every time a prize fighter loses his
life In the ring there is a renewal Of
protest against pugilism. based upon
the excessive brutality OF the sport.
Thus Luther McCarty's collapse in the
first round Of a fight at Calgary, Al.
berta, has caused an uprOar OF indig-
lition of the fight game" As a nat
ter Of fact, it should not require a
fatal happening in the ring to demon
slrate the essential brutality of this
sport or to bring law makers and en-
fOrcers to the point of ito absolute
prohibition. Men go into the prize
ring for the purpose of i%nflicting as
much punishment as possible. Each
mar aims to knock out his opponent
by landing a blow that will render
him imIOtent for at least ten seconds.
TO this end he has trained himself to
strike at certain parts of the body
with his utmost force, meanwhile pre-
venting the other mar from landing
blows upon those same parts of his
own person. TO render his antagon.
ist unconscious for a minute is the
surest way to win victory, and this
necessarily meaps a dangerous attack
upon the vitality. Thus every mar
who puts on the gloves for a cham
%piOnship fight, or a fight for a purse,
seeks to get as close to manslaughter
as he a without actually taking
life. Arthur Pelky, with no thought,
of course, of killing his man, planted
his blows where they would do the
most good. and had McCarty recover
ed after being counted out Pelky
would be regarded by the patrons of
pugilism as a remarkable fighter, wor-
thy Of the highest praise. As it is,
he Is now under arrest awaiting the
decision of the authorities in the mat
ter Of prosecution, and the world
rings with denunciations of pugilism
as a barbaric sport. 1t has never
been anything else. This country has
done we'll to exclude it as far as 1t
has, although some areas yet remain
within which it Is tolerated and in,
other places it is permitted in modi-
fed form. The misfortune is that the
advance toward the complete aboli-
ton Of this abominable form of SO.
called sport, which is not even square,
Out Is corrupted with all forms of
trickery and dishonesty and is chiefly
utilized as a means of gambling, has
not been more rapid and has required
occasional tragedies to hasten it,

VENETIAN LACEMAkERs.
The Methods BY Which Their Famous
Fabrics Are Produced. ~

Fabrics Ars Produced.
The lace Of Venice has been cele-
brated for many centuries. 1t was
made originally by nuns within the
walls of converts for ecclesiastical
garments. Then, with the fall Of the
Venetian republic. the converts were
closed and the lace industry ceased to
exist for an entire century. In 1870 the
Princess Margherita. afterward queen
Of Italy, took measures to revive 1t,
especially as a means Of providing en-
ployment for Venetian women. At
present there are several schools sub.
sidized by the government in which the
art is taught. p, 'A> iii.
The pupils, are women of all ages.
Each sits on a. low stool and holds a
plump square cushion in her lap. On
this cushion is pinned a strip Of paper
marked with the pattern to be follow
ed. and into this pattern the nimble
fingered worker sticks glass headed
pins. about which she twists her
threads. IL g.
From twenty. to fifty shuttles depend
from all sides Of the cushion, and these
are thrown across and back with the
rapidity of a typist handling the keys
Of her machine.
The process Is so simple that it looks
like play. but the lace produced repre-
sents thousands of dollars. The simple
laces grow rapidly under the dexterous
fingers Of the women. but the exquisite
rose point and other similar sorts are
evolved much more slowly.-Harper's
Weekly. .'..1s.

REPUBLICANS AND HARMONY.
3 : = : :: :. : :: :: : :

Washington Star: 1t. cannot be
stated how soon the republican fac
tions will get together, but they seem
to be on the way. If the spirit mani
Tested by the executive committee of
the republican national committee at
the meeting in this town Saturday is
manifested by the full committee at
the meeting appointed for sixty days
after the adjournment of this session
OF congress, things republican should
brighten.
While much Is in the hands of the
national committee, that body will
prObably be assisted in its considera-
ton of matters by outside sentiment.
Indeed, the meeting of the full CON-
mittee should attract other leaders
OF the party, and thus bring together
q large number of men associated
with republican triumphs in the past,
and DESTROYS of seeing more of them
achieved. SN
Then public discussion meanwhile
will assist in showing the proper way.
Newspapers without regard to party
will find the topic attractive, and pre-
sent it in its leading aspects. Re.
fore the snow flies we should all
know ore than we do today about
republican possibilities for next year:
is altogether likely that some
men heretofore known as republicans
will V return to their old allegi-
ance. IA few voted for Mr.. Wilson
last year, and may like his record in
office we'll enough to remain with
HIM. Others joined the so-called pro-
gressive party, and are now asserting
the the new party has come to stay
and is the hope Of the country.
But there are many bull oosers
whose vote last year exhausted their
protest against the republican party.
With the defeat of Mr.. Taft and the
condemnation OF the Payne law, the
way was cleared for their return
home. They are still protectionists,
and In no sympathy with any move
ment toward ultimate free trade
through the extension of the policy
OF raising the national revenue by a
heavy income tax.
These men are in favor of a restora-
tion Of the republican party to power,
and will assist in a we'll directed
program to that end. They are the
with whom the republicans
should get in touch, and with their
a-ssietance prepare the contest for
control Of the next house.

Linton Record: The writer
often hears comparisons made
between the Bismarck Tribune
and the Aberdeen American.
Both Of these. papers are morn.
ing issues. Aberdeen has about
double the population Of Bis
marck. A single copy Of the
Tribune, from the point Of
value as to quantity and quail
ity Of its matter, is worth to
the reader a copy Of each Of a
half dozen issues of the South
Dakota paper. What is the
cause? Is it lack Of public spir.
u on the part Of the readers
and advertisers Of Aberdeen or
an unusual quantity Of this de.
sirabIe quality by the Bis
markers? 3AdbsoIutely the on.
Iy reason that a single Ameri.
can comes to. this town is that
its teIegraphic news-what lit.
tie there 10 Of it-reaches US
before any other paper ar.
arrives. And then, frequently,
when news Of an important
matter is looked for, there will
not be a line regarding it in

daily papers published in a
city the size Of Bismarck that
are the 1ribune's equal as to
