Tomb of the Lost 3Ien of the Navy at Jamestown Is Found, but Not Yet liaised. Newport News, Va., June 13. With canopy frame crushed, bat canvass still tightly fastened down, the missing launch of the battleship Minnesota has been located in 27 feet of water, about IX) yards west-by-south of Fort Wool. Across the little craft was a tell-tale piece of towing line serving to convince the naval oQicers that they are right in their theory that the launch was run down by a Coat of some kind in tow of a tug. The diver who went down to examine the launch reported that the heads and arms of three men were protruding from beneath the canva3 covering. At the present time no one know? how many bodies will be found. It is believed that certainly nine of the bodies will be under the canopy, but the fact that uniform capes of Midshipmen Ulrieh and Stevenson were picked up In the Beads indicates that the two must Lave succeeded in gel-
ting free from the boat before they were drowned.

The annual alumni reception to the seniors held in Long's hall last evening was a brilliant success. The affair was one of the pleasantest jrlven a class in several years. Preparations for the event have been going on for several weeks and members of the decoration program and menu committees deserve great credit for the efficient work done. The hall was prettily adorned in the high school colors, purple and white. The colors floated in long streamers from the central chandelier and were caught up with large bows of the same at the corners of the hall. Drapings adorned the piano, rostrum and walls. A receiving line met the members of the alumni and friends of the associa
tion, at the first of the evening. In the line, Miss Marie Hansen as president of the association was first and Hayraond Fox as president of the class next with the thirteen members of the class following. Misses Anna Ibaeh, Florence Loveridge and Beatrice Hansen received the guests as they entered

The program opened with a beautiful piano number by Miss Erickson of Evanston, 111., Miss Ethel Ebright followed with a. siuart a nJ. well delivered welcome of

It Is the Principal Element in the
Condition of the Market Fall Prospects Brighter. New York. June 13. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Despite some improvement weather
conditions have continued adverse for retail trade at most points, ami busi
ness is only stimulated by bargain
sales. Prospects for fall distribution
are brighter, because of the better crop reports, and manufacturers receive liberal orders for next season. Current conditions, however, are not satisfactory, and mercantile collections are below normal, except in sections where country store keepers have been enabled to make prompt settlements because high prices attracted much marketing of last year's grain. Record-breaking production of pig iron without causing accumulation is ample evidence of unprecedented activity in the steel industry. Implement makers buy bars regardless of reports that crops are smaller, and the con
gestion at pipe and sheet mills is not relieved. New business in structural
shapes comes forward steadily.
