The bank examiner wa; called in and found that Pratt was a thief to the amount of nearly SIOO,OOO. The directors at once closed their doors, and a receiver was appointed.

COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS. Average Prices Still Receding—Money Easy and Collections Satisfactory. In their review of trade for last week R. G. Dun &. Co. said: Railroad earnings show an increase of about 15 per cent, over last year for March. Trade at Interior points is dull or quiet in nearly all cases, though at Cleveland it is fairly satisfactory; at Atlanta it is satisfactory, with spring busiuess well sustained; at Omaha it is considered good ; at Kansas City improving, and at St. Paul trade in dry-goods and clothing is active. There is improvement at Detroit, particularly in ship-building, and lumber is firmer. The money’ markets tire easy, and collections have improved somewhat at 'Kansas City and Detroit, but have fallen off at Atlanta.. Wool has declined for nearly all qualities except New Mexican and Texas. The outlook is favorable for a good demand when the new clip appears. Depressing influences are felt in the several brunches of the dry goods and clothing trade, not tho least being the accumulation of stocks which tho open winter left unsold. In the coal market no improvement appears. Tho sales of copper abroad were at about 4'll per ton. Oil has’ beofi a shade higher, but pork 50 cents lower. Pressure to sell abroad and fear of monetary troubles growing out of tho Paris difleulty reduced the price of coffee half a cent, “he average prices of all commodities have again declined over half of 1 per cent for tho week. The most important change is the fall of 2M cents in wheat. Reports from growing and sowing regions continue to foreshadow a large yield this year, and tho demand from abroad, though belter since prices fell, is not large enough to promise a clearing of the surplus stock on hand. Coni has advanced I’2 cents, export demand continuing, and oats a fraction. The favorable crop prospects strongly sustain the confidence of those who look for improvement in all branches of legitimate business. The apprehension of stringency in the money markets about April 1 has now passed, anil the heavy liquidation in securities on foreign account causes as yet no such withdrawal of foreign capital as has been feared. The business failures numbered 222, as compared with a total of 240 the previous week.

THE PRESIDENT'S PROCLAMATION. Setting Apart an Hour for Prayer on Washington’s Centennial. Tho President has issued the following proclamation: A hundred years have passed since the Government which our forefathers founded was formally organized. At noon on tho 39th day of April, 17«9, in the city of New York and in the presence of an assemblage of tho heroic men whose patriotic devotion had led the colonies to victory and independence, George Washington took tno oath of office as Chief Magistrate of the new-born republic. This impressive act was preceded at ‘J o'clock in the morning iu all the churches of the city by prayer for God’s blessing on the Government and the first President. Tho centennial of this illustrious event in our history has been declared a general holiday by act of Congress, to the end that the people of the whole country may join in commemorative exercises appropriate to the day. In order that the joy of tiie occasion may be associated with a deep thankfulness in the minds of the people for all our Blessings in the past and a devout supplication to God for their gracious continuance in the future, the representatives of the religious creeds, both Christian and Hebrew, have niemoralized. the Government to designate an hour for prayer and thanksgiving on that day. Now, therefore, I, Benjamin Harrison, President of the United Staten of America, in response to this pious and reasonable request, do recommend that on Tuesday, April 3J, at the hour of 9 o’clock in the morning, the people of the entire country repair to their respective places of divine worship to implore the favor of God that the blessings of liberty, prosperity and peace may abide with us as a people, and that His hand may lead uh in the paths of righteousness and good deeds. AN IMPORTANT DECISION. Judge Hawkins Overruled in thp Ammerman Pension Case. Assistant Secretary Bussey, of the Interior Department of the United States, has rendered a decision in tvhat is known as the Ammerman pension case, in which he over-

rules that of his predecessor, Judge Hawkins. Ammerman was a soldier in an Ohio regiment and was injured by his comrades, who were indulging in horse play while in camp. The claim was rejected on the ground that the injury was not received while the soldier was in the line of his duty. Bussey reversed the ruling of the office in this case and ordered the claim of Ammerman admitted. His position was that the claimant's injury was a result of his military service, in that the service placed him in a position where, without fault on his part, he received his hurt. IT WAS EIRE THE CHICAGO FIRE. Work of the Recent Prairie Fires in Dakota. The stories of the Dakota farmers who suffered by the Hames show that it was no’ ordinary prairie fire. It licked up everything combustible, and grass and stubble and wood broke into 11am e seemingly without coming in contact with fire. The combustion was almost spontaneous in the dry and heated condition of the atmosphere, set in motion by the terrible gale. The conditions seemed similar to those existing at the time of the great Chicago fli - e and the fires in the Wisconsin woods, when the atmosphere was almost ready to ignite and burn. Many people perished in the flames. The pecuniary loss will reach upward of $2,000,000. Hundreds of families are homeless and destitute. Appeals for aid have been made.

MIXED FALL OF SNOW AND DIRT. A Peculiar Phenomenon in Weather Witnessed by Inhabitants of Minnesota. A peculiar phenomenon occurred at Aitkin, Minn. At 4:45 o’clock p. m. it became so dark that lights were required in business houses. The air was filled with snow that was as black and dirty as though it had been tramped on. The dirt was very fine, something like emery, and contained particles that had a metallic luster. This dirty snow fell to the depth of half an inch, and the atmosphere at the time presented a peculiar greenish tinge. Solid chunks of ice and sand are reported to have been picked up in various places. Several parties saved small vials of the sand or dirt as a curiosity. CROPS IN CALIFORNIA. Greatly Benefited by the Eate Kain and Promising Extremely Well. Telegraphic reports from all parts of California show that grain, fruit, and feed promise a greater yield than has ever been known; independently of the fact that tho increase in acreage is' as high in some sections as one-third, especially in southern counties of California. The late rains were quite general, and especially heavy in sections where rainfall is usually the lightest. A very large number of young fruit trees have been set out in southern and northern portions of the State, and many thousand grapevines in the FFesno district, all of which have been benefited by the late rain.

Notes from the Capital. The United States Attorney General has appointed Herbert Hess and O. P. M. Hubbard, of Indiana, law clerk and confidential secretary, resoectively. Fifty employes have been discharged from the United States Government printing office. Other discharges will be made from day to day till the force is reduced to tho recess number.

Bandkiunn, in his great play “Austerlitz,” is thi attraction at McVicker’s Theater, Chicago,l this week. A feature of the drama is the appearance on the stage of fifty French sotliers, who sing the “Marseillaise" in the famp scene. A tableau at the end of the flrstact represents Napoleon’s midnight review of his troops on the eve of the battle. Lbtta follows Bandmann’s engagement at McVicker's. “Two Sisters,” Denman Thompson’s play, will be the attraction during the centennial celebration week.

THE SENATE ADJOURNS.

Final Disposition of a Number of President Harrison’s Nominations. When tho Senate met at 1 p. m. on tho Ist inst. Mr. Teller offered the following resolution: “Resolved, That’ hereafter all Executive nominations shall bo considered in open session of the Senate.” Tho resolution was referred to the Committee on Rules.

Wharton, of Massachusetts, to be Assistant Secretary of State; George H. Shields, of Missouri, to ba Assistant Attorney General; L. Bradford Prince, of Santa Fe, to be Governor of New Mexico. The Senate adjourned sine die on the 2d inst. The proceedings were mainly devoted to a discussion of Mr. Sherman’s resolution expressing the profound sorrow of the Senate at the death of Mr. John Bright. Mr. Sherman suggested that the resolution should be referred to the Committee on Foreign Relations, as its adoption might establish a precedent that would return to plague the Senate. Mr. Hoar eulogized Mr. Bright as a friend of the United States and induced Mr. Sherman to withdraw the motion, but Mr. Reagan iminedi. ately renewed it, at the same time calling attention to the false step taken by the House some years ago in passing a resolution complimentary to a member of the German Reichstag and having it returned bv Prince Bismarck. The motion was carried. Vice President Morton retired and Mr. Ingalls was elected and sworn in as Vice President pro tempore. The following nominations were confirmed: George H. Shields, of Missouri, to be Assistant Attorney General; Drury J. Burshett, to be Marshal of Kentucky; Robert J. Fisher, of Illinois, to be Assistant Commissioner of Patents; Captain George B.

Hansom, of Georgia—delgates to the Congress of American Nations to be held in Washington, November, 1889. The naval promotions sent to tho Senate by the President were also confirmed. In the course of tho session efforts were made to remove tho injunction of secrecy from the votes on the motions to confirm the nominations of Whitelaw Reid to be Minister to France, and of Murat Halstead to bo Minister to Germany, but they were unsuccessful. The further consideration of the extradition treaty with Russia was postponed until next session of Congress. The calendar of nominations was almost entirely cleared. The nominations of Edwin I. Kinshead to ba United States Marshal for the Eastern District of Louisiana, and of William H. Whiteman to be an Associate Justice of the United States Court in New Mexico were the most prominent of those that failed of confirmation.

"Sweet Home.”

“There is no place like home” runs the old song, and we know how true it is. Go where we will—encounter men in whatever circumstances we may—we shall be apt to find that a reference to their homes will immediately secure their attention, and will give you favor in their eyes. The impressions made in the home are lasting. A mother’s words never pass from tne mind. A father’s counsel remains fresn as long as life lasts. The last benediction of parental love and solicitude—with what tenacity it clings to the memory when almost all else has gone. How important, therefore, that the home be maintained intact as long as possible—a haven or loving counsel, of peace and joy to the growing children. How sad when death invades, when the fire goes out on the hearthstone and the family is scattered. What the children lose by. the death of a parent only those realize who have g.own up with that love and advice which a parent alone can bestow. No doubt, tens of thousands of parents have found premature graves, who might have lived years of usefulness, had they but known what was sapping their strength, and slowly but surely pushing them into the grave. There are tens of thousands of parents to-day in agony of mind through fear of death from kidney disease, who do not know they are doctoring onlv symptoms such as wakefulness, nervousness, a splendid feeling one day and an all-gone one another, dropsy, weak heart action, pneumonia. neuralgia, fickle appetite, etc., while the real trouble is poisoned blood caused by diseased kidneys. Unless purified with Warner’s Safe Cure they will just as surely die, as though poisoned with arsenic. If you are suffering as described, and have been lor any length of time, you are, unless you get relief right speedily, stricken with death, whether vou know it or uot. Doctors publicly admit that they cannot cure advanced kidney disease; they are too bigoted to use Warner’s Safe Cure because it is an advertised remedy; consequently, unle-s you use your own good judgment, secure and use Warner’s Safe Cure, a specific, which has proved itself in tens of thousands of cases to be all it is represented, yow home, through your death, will be broken up. and your loved ones deprived of that which money cannot purchase or friends supply. Already too many loving parents, noble, kind, and true, have gone down to premature graves through ignorance of their condition ami the bigotry of physicians. It is time to cry a halt, and we beg of you, for the love you bear your home and the duty you owe yourself, to give this matter your careful and conscientious consideration. The rabbit pest is again making headway in Australia. The means taken to eradicate it have proved insufficient.

A Great Surprise

Is in store for all who use Kemp’s Balsam for the Throat and Lungs, the great guaranteed remedy. Would you believe that it is sold on its merits and that any druggist is authorized by the proprietor of this wonderful remedy to give you a sample bottle free? It. never fails to cure acute or chronic coughs. All druggists sell Kemp’s Balsam. Large Bottles 50c and sl. Women, it is said, live longer than men. This comes of their keeping their age a secret. Death doesn’t know when to call for them. Reserving of Confidence.— There is no article which so richly deserves the entire confi lenco of tho community ai Brown’s Bronchial Troches. Thoie sufferin ' fr >in Asthmatic and Bronchial Diseases. Coughs, and Colds should try them. Price 25 cents. It is hard for a lazy man to be truthful, for he is happiest when he is lying.
