Eugenists Give Startling Figures.

LONDON, Sept. An the latest re-
port of the lunacy commission, made
public today, Eugenists declare there
is a potent argument in favor of gov
ernment enforcement of the principles
they advocate. The report published
today shows that of the 138,377 insane
persons now under the care of gevern-
mental and private institutions in
England and Wales, by far the largest
number on record the affliction of 2S.4
per cent is charged to heredity. Con-
trary to the general belief, alcohol,
says the report, is the minor contribut-
ing factor being responsible as the
sole cause in only II per cent of the
males and per cent of the females.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK

CONDITIONS FAVORABLE AMI
CONFIDENCE SEEMS TO HAVE

Frank A. David Has Returned From
a Flying Trip East Brim Full Of
OptOmism and Good Cheer.

There is a much better feeling at
this time among merchants, jobbers
and manufacturers in the middle west
with regard to business conditions
both present and future than l have
noticed in several years past and L
believe this is true throughout the
entire country" said Frank A. David,
of the David G. Ely company, who has
just returned from couple of weeks
trip which included St. Paul, Minneap-
oils, Kansas City, Omaha, Denver and
Salt Lake.
| Mr.. David made the trip principal
| ly on business but took occasion to
enjoy some of the pleasures while
absent and at Salt Lake, a place he
had never visited before, had an op-
portunity to listen to an organ re-
cital at the Mormon tabernacle
Conditions Are Good.
Business conditions are appar-
emily good, better than had been ex-
pected, however, business men are
conservative but confident that the
country is in good condition" contin-
ued Mr.. David while l am re-
publican, my observation on this trip
leads me to the opinion that the large
business interests feel that the Will
son administration is a good one and
not likely to disturb the business of
the country. Confidence is returning
and the future outlook seems very
bright"
Mr.. David went east over Can
adian line and returning via the south
ern route, in all travelling over seven
different rail lines While he does
little of the buying for the large mer-
camille establishment, he took oc-
casion to observe the fall and winter
styles that are coming on in the
trade marts and managed to place
some special orders for some of the |
newest goods which will soon be dis
played by the firm.
Enjoyed the Trip.
altogether L enjoyed my trip, said
Mr.. David "It was a relief for me
to get away for short period, but
after all an extreme pleasure to be
back in Moscow surrounded by the
gorgeous crops of grain that are the
backbone of this section, especially
so since l observed the burned condi-
lion of the Kansas crops which is pitt
sul and deserves the sympathy of the
entire country because of the unfort-
mate condition"

JOHN RiORDAN TELLS
 OF MARSHAL >.

Right from the seat Of war came a letter to Dr.. Chace yesterday from John Riordan who has been candi- date for the U. s. marshalshp of this division. The letter was written early in April but even then he declares that Jordan was the favorite for ap- pointment with Webb and Todd fight ing for close second place. He says nothing about his own chances so the Likelihood is that he had given up tho contest at the time of writing. Nor does he say why the democratic com mittee's candidate was not appointed. From the letter it can be judged that Jordan has been so long before the president that his appointment has been we'll consideration editorial from the Fairbanks Citizenpublished today seems to show that the Committee candidate in the Fourth division did not win out either.

 For some time the negotiations have been going on quietly and it is now assumed that the federal government of Mexico has waited for the turning over of the money to push it's cam paien against the revolted states. One of the first acts will probably be the raising of a large army, the purchase of some vessels and equipment and arms SO that short work can be made of the forces of the constitutionalists.
