Bradstreefs report to-morrow will say: Favorable weather conditions found reflection In reports of good retail distribution of spring and summer goods and in fair filllng-In orders from Jobbers. Demand from first hands for general merchandise Is, If anything, quieter, In keeping with the "between seasons" period now at hand. Industrial activity continues specially marked, a pleaslnjr feature of this week being the practical absence of the unrest, particularly In the building trades, noted for many years past about May 1. While favoring retail distribution, the springlike weather condition!?, however, have been the reverse of stimulating as regards quotations of two of the country's great staples wheat and cotton. In thes; and In hog rroducts the tendency of values" has been toward a lower range. Winter wheat crop advices have continued irregularly unfavorable, but good weather, enabling a large area to be planted In spring wheat, coupled with rather less active export demand and denials of damage to European crops, has weakened quotations of wheat and flour at leading Eastern and Interior markets. Cotton has weakened on better reports as to planting progress and the margin of profit on manufactured goods has. therefore, temporarily widened. Rather more Is doing on export account and bleached goods are especially tlrm. The regular print cloth market Is steady and unchanged, but there is talk of concessions on outside makes. New demands had been notably quiet In iron and steel this week, the mo?t notable feature being large sales cf Southern grey forge Iron at Pittsburg. Prices exhibit all their old strength, and here the margin of profit on finished products Is undoubtedly very good. The strength of the lumber market shows little Impairment. Wool as a whole is quiet and steady, but a relatively higher range of values abroad 1j Indicated by continued good sales of Australian bonded wool to be re-exported. Copper is notable among the products advancing this week, aided therein by large consumptive demand, but chiefly by talk of the great consolidation of copperproducing companies announced toward the close of the week. A fair trade is doing In boots and shoes and the flight advances announced earlier are well maintained. Leather is firmly held, strength b?lng imparted to this and finished products by the small stocks of hides available. Partially compensating for the falling off In exports of natural. products, particularly cerealf--. is the Immense expansion In exports of manufactured goods. Shipments cf such good? in March aggregated over $..- 0V. or .T) per cent, of all our exports, a proportion rarely, if ever, approached before, and In view of protably smaller takings of our natural products, foreshadowing even more remarked expansion In the future, providing that prices do rot advance to a point prohibitive of fre shipments.

NEW YORK, April 2S. R. G. Dun's Weekly Review of Trade will say: All elements considered, !t is rather surprising that business has not been set back a little. The uncertainty about Samoa and the prolonging of the difficulty In the Philippines might have counted for something, the rising Imports and falling exports for something, the rise In foreign exchange by some attributed to foreigners' sales of copper stocks, and the hindrance of manufacturing orders owing to . the recent advance In prices. But there has been full faith that foreign difficulties would soon be cleared away and the movement In exchange is generally connected with speculative rather than legitimate operations, since accounts of trade still indicate a large excess of exports. After every rise in prices manufacturers have to consider whether hindered consumption with increased production will make them difficult, but confidence with which combinations are formed and extended still shows the prevailing belief that no danger point Is near. The state of foreign trade Justifies confidence rather than apprehension. It Is the season for the lowest exports of staples and their prices this year are extremely low, but the unprecedented foreign demand for manufactured products so far compensates that the excess of exports la March was so heavy and apparently has been in April. The presence of English merchants In Bos ton trying to sell English medium wool which would be delivered there at about 32 cents', at the same time that English buy ers were taking a little fine territory for ex port and Germans buying 300.000 pound more Australian from bond, shows the opposite trend of popular taste In different countries. Clay worsteds here advanced V2c, and serges 5c, which strengthened the tone of the wool market. The wool Is relatively cheap here and dear abroad, but conces sions make the lowest price of the year in all kinds, as heavy stocks carried for years come Into presence of new wool, said to be 3oo.ouo.ooo pounds. Manufacturers are now r.oi buying largely, though In four weeks 30 DIS.Of'O pounds were sold, of which 23.313.OS5 were domestic, against 41,715,650 in the same weeks two years ago when wool was rlslnar The cotton manufacturer has made little change and the stocks following the ad vance in wages appears to have benefited manufacturers not a little by helping the nemana ana curtailing the supply of goods. Cotton Is a sixteenth lower, with generally Improved prospects for the comlmr cron. The boot and shoe Industry surpasses all other years in April shipments, last year by It per cent., 1S:5 by 13 per cent, and 1S?2 by 4.- per cent., and manufacturers are een erally provided with orders for months ahead, but the advance asked does not ap pear to nave oeen generally without busl ne?s. Uessemer pig is unchanged at Pittsburg ana grey iorge strong at jn.50. though 16. 0Oi) tons of Southern have been sold here at SI 1.20. There are some large structural or ders. a Philadelphia building for 15.000 tons. a Western bridge for 5.0m, a uuiutn eleva tor and the St. Lawrence bridge at Quebec. though the general run of orders In this line is light and in rails no large sales are re ported, though Inquiries for 50,000 tons are said to be In this market. Advanced prices are noted In pipe and de crenpo In merchants' orders, with smaller business In sheets and at the West in bars. pending the completion of the combination Hut the general decrease In new demand raises the question whether prices will be mruntaind after the current orders run out. Failures for the week were 154 In th United States against 22 last year, and 23 in Canada against 16 last year. nANK CLEARINGS. Total of 4tl.81B.tt.12.nmi, a Gain of 03.7 Per Cent. NEW YORK.

Ind., April 2?. The United Mine Workers' organization has decided to try to bring the ijuthern Indiana operators to terms by means of a strike, 'ihe operators south of the Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern road have not been parties to the agreements entered Into by othtr operators of the State, and the result is that the scale of wages there is lower than the standard fixed by the interstate joint agreement. At different times in the past ten years the officers of the United Mine Workers have tried to effect an organization of the men in southern Indiana, but the latter have been too timid. In the past six morUh3 the state officers and Fred Dilcher. cf the national organization, have spent a great doal of time in the Evansville field. and, it is said, have lately been getting the men into lire. The official order declaring a strike, which was issued to-day, explains the situation. It Is as follows: "To the Miners oL Southern Indiana Pur suant to the action of the convention held. in Terre Haute, Ind., March 21 to 20. and because the operators of this held have re fused to meet your representatives, precipitated the movement by discharging thirty of our men at Sunny Side mines at Evans ville and in other ways discriminated against the miners at different places, you are here by authorized to at once notuy your employer that, commencing May 1, you demand that what is known as the ChicagoPittsburg agreement take effect at all mines. Where the operators agree to comply with prices and conditions fixed for the State of Indiana by existing contracts work will continue. Where refused, the miners will cease work on and after April SO. WH. We re quest that all men suspending work on May 1 remain quiet and peaceable, violate no lav.-, but get other employment whenever possible and let the suspension be conducted by the committee selected by yourselves for that purpose. This Is signed by President Van Horn, Secretary Kennedy and Fred Dilcher. of the national executive board. An advance of 23 per cent. Is asked for and twelve mines are affected, with 1,500 miners. A commissary will be established at Evansviue to proviue for the men In need while idle. ALLEGED PENSION FRAUD. Old Man Under Name of Col. Charles L. Woolford Arrested. Epectal to the Indianapolis Journal. NEW ALBANY, Ind.. April 2S.-Ieputy United States Marshal Andrew Fite to-day arrested a man, who gives his name as Col. Charles L. Woolford and his residence Louisville, on a charge of violating the pension laws. The warrant was sworn out by Mrs. Mary Turner, widow of a soldier, for whom Woolford claimed he was endeavoring to obtain a pension. Woolford made his first appearance in this city about a month ago. He is about seventy years old, tall and of spare build and wears a chin beard. He claimed to be a special pension detective and his affable manners and pleasant address soon made friends among the business men. He learned that Mrs. Turner had made an unsuccessful effort to secure a pension and sought an introduc tion. His plausible talk convinced the wid ow that he could iret the pension and she gave him the case. He told her to say notn ing until the pension was granted, and in ten days he had borrowed $2J of her for the purpose, as he said, of prosecuting the claim. To-day he notified her that a pension of $16 a month, with back pay for thirty-two years, had been granted, bne told Deputy Marshal rite or ner good ior tune. -but he was suspicious and advised her to secure his arrest, w ooltora was piacea under $000 bond to await a hearing next Tuesday before Commissioner Cardwlll and was sent to jail. He takes his arrest very coolly, but will not talk. During his stay In this city he negotiated for the purchase or residence property, out naa ciosea no deals. He always carried a bundle of ofii tial looking documents and for secure keep ing a business man allowed him to deposit them In his safe. He removed them and replaced them every day or two, but made no move that would arouse suspicions that there was any crooked motive in his ac tions. YOUNG RALYA INSANE. Lo of Ills Damage Suit Against AN klnn Dentroya HI Mind. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind., April 28 James Ralya, a well-known citizen of Pendleton, has lost his reason and was brought to Anderson by Marshal Cook for safe keeping in the jail till arrangements can be made to gain admission for him at the hospital in Richmond. He is about thirty-five years old and the son of J. J. Ralya, formerly of Ander son, and the owner at one time of the large heading factories in this city. The father was the Inventor of a number of saws that are manufactured by the Atkins saw works at Indianapolis. Trouble arose concerning the royalties paid to Ralya and suit was brought, but adjusted. On the death of the senior Ralya a year ago his son and other members of the family sought to institute new cases, and recently began suit against the Indianapolis company for royalties amounting to several hundred thousand dol lars. The court ruled against the plaintiffs. dismissing their case. The sudden collapse of the son s prospects for wealth and sue cess completely upset his reason. He has been very violent at times and has been watched almost constantly. HARD FOR STRIKERS. Alexandria. Grocera Tired of Fornlah. Injc fioodn on Credit. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ALEXANDRIA. Ind.. April 28. There were a number of plate-glass strikers at work on a gas line being laid to the plate glass factory this morning. The line was being laid by a contractor, or at least the man represented himself as a contractor, and claimed that he had taken the work from the company. The strikers committee after Investigating made up their minds that the man was only acting as a foreman for the Plate-glass Company, and asked the men to quit work. They did so at or.ee. It Is reported around town to-day that President Kann, who Is here looking over the situation, will pay off all the office force to-morrow, except the superintendent, who will stay here to look after the factory. It Is undestood Kann is carrying out the policy he outlined to the Governor a few days ago, and which was printed in the Journal at that time. Some of the merchants who have been furnishing the strikers groceries and other necessaris are very much discouraged at the turn things are taking, and have given notice that they cannot afford to furnish any more goods except for cish. This Is discouraging to the strikers, but they still seem to be determined. CLOSING UP TUB LEAKS. Inspector1 Lencli Compelling Compnnlri to Mend (in Main. Special to Jh Indianapolis Journal. MARION, Ind., April 2S. State Gas Inspector leach, of Kokomo, has been in this territory the past week inspecting gas mains. 'The new law gives him Increased rower. ;He can now order a main repaired and If ihe companies do not comply Immediately, he can have the work done at their cost, and in addition can bring suit against them. He has found a number of bad breaks In the lines eadlng to Marion and has ordered them closed at once. Realizing how precious the fuel has become the factory owners have become a sort of detective agency and are constantly on the lookout for violations of the law. When they find a break they rejKirt It to Ieach and he floes the rest. In this manner the fuel is telng nursed and the life of the field prolonged. Mr. Eeach says that little trouble is being experienced with oil men. the lesson given the Alexandria men having been severe enough to teach them that a wanton waste of gas will not be tolerated. A Mr. McDonald, of Toledo. In drilling for an oil well on the Ballard farm near this city a few days ago. struck a wonderful gaser. He would probably have tried to operate It lor

he crude oil. but the factory people got

word of It and made a report to the gas Inspector, who ordered it closed. The Misslssinewa Gas Company, 01 this city, has toucht the well and connected it with Its lines. According to Mr. .Leach, Marlon will have a strong supply of gas for some time. GOOD WORD FOR GUNDER. One of tlie Private Comes to the Colonel Defense. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., April 2S. Dr. David Cronln. a private in Company F, One-hundred-and-sixtleth Indiana Volun teers, pays the highest compliment to Col. Gunder, of that regiment, notwithstanding all the reports that have been circulated in regard to his severity on the soldiers. Dr. Cronln says that the only persons who have complained of the colonel were those who had been disciplined by him. The case o? Frivato Wagoner, of Anderson, which made the greatest stir, was perfectly . justifiable, says the doctor. On the transport going to Matanzas. he says, w agoner. insulted both Colorel and Mrs. Gunder repeatedly, as well as other oflicers. It is said that when the welfare of his men was. at stake Colonel Gunder was always looking to their inter ests, and that he did well .is. shown by the small death record of the regiment. Only twelve men died during enlistment, two of whom met with unnatural deaths. Seven succumbed to typhoid fever, two to cerebro spinal meningitis and Sergeant Maior Cole died while home on a furlough. The names of the deceased and the company follows: trgeant Major coie.

More than five thousand people assembled in this city yesterday to welcome home Company I, One-hundred-and-sixtieth Regiment. Early in the morning telegrams announced that they were five hours late, but by ;ioon It was learned that the company was divided and that a part would arrive at 12:45. The Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, G. A. R., Odd Fellows. Red Men. St. John's Catholic Society and other civic organizations marched to the train.

TEIRE HAUTE, Ind., April 2?. Claude McGahan. of this city, has beep dishonorably discharged from the One-hundred-and-sixty-first Indiana. While there is no direct or definite Information here as to the cause of this dismissal from the army, it is believed It was on account of a letter he wrote from Cuba. The letter was printed in one of the Terre Haute papers and in this manner got back to the regiment. McGahan vilified his comrades, said they were the off-scourings of humanity, etc. His father and sister said they had not heard of the court-martial. The father is highly , Indignant and says his son has been wronged and must be set right. GAS COMPANY . EXPOSED. Terre Haute Consumers llnrc Long Ileen Robbed ly-Fnt Meter. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. TERRE HAUTE. Ind,. April 2S. Terre Haute gas consumers find they- have been robbed in a wholesale fashion' by the gas company, probably for years by. the use of "rapid" gas meters. An expert has been here and exposed the swindle. Some meters used by large consumers were as much as 20 per cent, out of the. way. At the Jail the meter was 20 per cent, too- fast, and this was true at the Hulman & Co. wholesale house. The gas company at. .first disputed Expert Noon's report, but its own prover was brought into use and, in the presence of Professor Noyes. of the Rose Polytechnic, it made practically the same showing. Then the gas company began exchanging meters where Noon , had made tests. Noon protested, . and so did the consumer, because with the "fast" meter gone the evidence on which to base a claim for rebate was removed. The company had said that it would make rebates where it was shown that the meters had registered too much gas and Noon was to get his pay from the consumers. Superintendent Dlall has been promising for a week to make an explanation, but he has failed to keep his promise which, with the action in removing the meters has confirmed the. people in the belief that they have been swindled. Some consumers are very angry and in a number of instances where the company's employes went to make the exchange of meters they were denied admission to the house and it Is said that drawn revolvers were used to prevent the exchange. The company has said to tho consumers that the law permits a variation of 3 per cent., but lawyers who have been consulted say there Is no such law. The company also has offered to compromise with some of the larger consumers. Hulman & Co. were offered 4 9-10 per cent, rebate, but refused It. Some months ago the City Council passed a resolution providing for the. appointment of a gas Inspector, whose duty would have been to test the meters, but tor some reason the appointment was never made. Mntnnznn II 05- nt Anderson. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. ANDERSON, Ind.. April 2S. James M. Donnelly, a wealthy real-estate dealer of Anderson, has adopted a Cuban orphan. Sam Donelo. During the encampment of Company L at Matanzasj a soldier on picket duty discovered a half-clad Cuban and brought him into camp, where he was clothed and fed.

LOUISVILLE. Ky.. April 2S. Professor Charles Proper, of tho New Albany Hteh School, who graduates Friday night from the Louisville Law School, has made a new record. While engaged regularly as an assistant principal of the High School, In charge of the physical laboratory, he entered the law school, took the two year of study in one, took the honors of both the Junior and senior classes, and his entire average for the year's work was MVj per cent. This included everything to be considered In both classe?. The course at the law school is regarded as a hard one. and a student who takes it in two years, with an average of W, Is regarded as expert In his stuuies. Dean Harris regards the work of Professor Prosser as nothing short of a phenomenon, when his regular work as teacher is considered. Professor "Prosser is a graduate of De Pauw University, having carried off the honors there, as he did in high school here. His record as a teacher is high. His friend naturally think that he has a bright future. " " ' 1 1 , t Miot IIU Stepfather. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WATERLOO, Ind.. April 2S.

Secret societies, other than those of the Catholic faith are prohibited from entering a Catholic church, and the Rev. H. Meissner carried out the custom.

This i the age of weakly women. The falling health of mothers and daughters l the mot serious question that confronts this country. If-the health of the American women continues to fail the Nation will degenerate and decay. With all the vaunted progress of medicine, the wall of misery from weakly, dying women still rises like the "voice of manr waters." Her err continuously i. "I suffer. I die." Her pale face I seen on every street. Her weak, unstra-ly step it heard on eery floor. Her countenance, pinched and distorted from years cf pain, t ell too well that uterine disease and ovarian troubles have marked her a ar.t.jher victim of doctor' mli-takea. After years of "local treatment" the poor sufferer is told that she must "have an operation l"r formed," and is carried off to some one of the numerous "slaughter house" to undergo a dangerous operation and silently wait for the coroner. This is the age of reckless surgery. Most of these operations are neither needed r.or beneficial, and often leave the victim worse than she was before she "went under the knife." PHRKNOPATH Y is the greatest and only successful treatment for afflicted women. Ladies, why will you die when Phrenopathy, the great new scientific system of medicine, can cure you at jour own homes? It has cured 1V,000 others. When Dr. Houser falls to rure a patient at her own home, he will treat her free of charge at his Phrenopathic Dispensary.
