Miss Lora Roberts made a flying trip from her home to Mt. Ayr on her Mystic, recently. People are done sowing oats. The last of Jackson township schools closed last Tuesday.

TRADE IS NO NETTER.

n>»h| Sfc* PMt VNk. B. O. Dum A Co's Weekly Reviews of Trade saya: "The volume of business baa not on the whole Increased nor have prlcee advanced since April 1, when the range for all commodities was the lowest ever known in this country. Breadstuffs and iron products have risen fclightly, but some other articles have declined, and the root of the matter Is that demand for consumption Is still below expectations. The weather has not favored active distribution of spring goods, and uncertainty as to continued employment affects the purchases by hands in a large number of establishments. “The injury done to winter wheat by storms and frosts at the west would appear from reports of state officers to have been considerable. But the reports are not more gloomy than a yeai ago, and the quantity of wheat which has come from farms since Aug. 1 has been 163,781,594 bushels, against 129,076,460 at the same date last year. “Western receipts for the week are about 60 per cent larger than last year, and for two weeks about 50 per cent, while Atlantic exports, flour Included, have been for the week only 909,055 bushels, against 1,759.006 last year, a decrease of nearly half. These conditions tend to check the advance, which reached 3 cents, but was followed by a reaction of 1 cent. Corn rose 2% cents with wheat and on account of small stocks. Cotton has not changed and known commercial and mill stocks exceed probable consumption until new cotton comes. The billet pool and other combinations have raised prices of pig Iron and steel, but as yet finished products have gained scarcely anything, nor has demand for them Increased. Prices for lake ore are announced, as expected, sl.lO higher than last year, and the coke combination makes no reduction, but gradually lessens output. Minor metals are dull, but lead weaker, at 3.05 cents on forced sales west. Wool is weaker, with sales for the week of only 2,232,600 pounds at the three chief markets, the smallest for many years. Prices were lower, except for fine washed fleece, and manufacaurers are rapidly reducing production. There is fair demand in the dress goods branch, especially due to important steps by customs authorities to stop undervaluations of French and German goods, but it is estimated that not 40 per cent of the men’s wear machinery Is at work. There have also been cotton mills stopping or reducing time this week. Further reductions In ‘shirting prints, to the lowest point ever touched, failed to Increase the demand materially. Failures for the past week have been 209 in the United States, against 207 last year, and thirty-three In Canada, against twenty-seven last year.

TELLS OF THE MURDER.

Confession of Romulu. Coatell, the Slayer of Alvin Stone and Other*. Akron, 0., Special: Romulus Costell, alias John Smith, arrested for the murder of Alva and Mrs. Stone and Ira Stillson, their nephew, has made a full confession. After fracturing the skulls of his victims, he disfigured the bodies with a pocket-knife. Malice prompted the crime, he says, for he was enraged that Stone had discharged him withhut paying him in full. It is known, however, that he Intended to kidnap Flora Stone, the youngest daughter. Smith said he felt better after he had confessed. There was not a tremor In his voice while he recited the details of murder. Smith Is but 17 years old, and says he left home in Turin, N. Y., five montss ago because of trouble with his father.

Fusion Talked Of in Indiana.

Candidates for state offices in Indiana and the other representatives of the republican party are concerned about information they have received to the effect that the democrats and populists of the state are endeavoring to form a coalition. The leading democrats here say there is no foundation for the story. The populist leaders admit that they hope there may be an opportunity for them to make some sort of a campaign arrangement with the democrats. With this hope before the party it has postponed its state convention until after the democrats have held their state convention and until after the democratic national convention.

Uregon Democracy Is Split.

Portland, Special: Several democrats who favor the financial policy of President Cleveland held a meeting In this city for the purpose of discussing the advisability of putting in the field an independent candidate for congress in the second district against the regular nominee of the democratic convention, which declared for free coinage. It was practically decided to name an Independent candidate. Both the regular democratic and republican candidates in the Second district art in favor of free coinage, and the Cleveland democrats expect to draw largely from the republicans who favor the gold standard.

Milwaukee Mills Combine.

The Milwaukee millers have perfected their trust by making an agreement whereby one man is to do all the buying for them. This shuts off competition between the millers, and.
