Nothing Overlooked to wuka It Coapletc. a vase Flht In Stock Tarda. ' Savage attacks were made upon nonunion workers at the stock yard, Chicago, and in the fights that followed eight jersons were injured, four of them so severely that it as necessary to take them to hospitals. At Haistead and Root Street., two young women Annie Cook and Maggie Jasper were dragged from a street car, pounded over the head and tadly beaten before the police arrived. One woman was hit in the mouth with a brick and all of her front teeth knocked out. Anton Ashutra. a drver for a brewery, tried to drive through the crowd, and was h t in the back of the head with a brick and knocked from his wagon. A squad of police dispersed the rioters. Ten minutes after the officers returned to the station they were called out to suppress a second riot, in which several colored men employed in the stock yards were attacked by a largecrowd of symt a-thiz?r-i. One of the negroes was knocked down, kicked and badly bruised. Land Sinks Down. Atractofland near Laporte, Ind., in Noble County, several acres in extent, surrounding a lake, has entirely disappeared. The land that has been swallowed up has been farmed for many years and one of the heaviest crops of recent seasons has been harvested there. J. C. Holden, whose land is disappearing, says that the ground began to sink a few feet at a time, until now water covers a large section of his farm. State Geologist Blatchley will investigate. Holden fears his entire farm will disappear. Robbers Secure -Rich Booty. Winnipeg, (Man.) special: The Canadian Pacific railway westbound transcontinental express was held up by four masked men four and a half miles west of Mission Junction. At the point of revolvers the express messenger was compelled to hand over the valuables. The safe was dynamited and $5,000 secured from it. The registered mall was also ransacked. The robbers escaped to the bushes and are supposed to have crossed the boundary. ' Depot Safe Blown Open Five masked men blew open the safe in thrt Toledo and Ohio Central depot at Wapakoneta, O., with nitro-glycerine. Two distinct explosions were heard and the men were afterwards seen running down the tracks. The robbers carried oif the money drawer containing over $100, but overlooked money in another drawer. The safe was demolished, the heavy door being blown across the room. Mystery Snrronnds Drath. Mystery surrounds the de? th of Curtis Harris, aged 25, a well -known young man of Richmond, Ind., whose body, with. a bullet wound over the heart, was found beside a road, two miles northwest of Cambridge City, Ind. Beside the b dy was found a revolver. No cause for suicide has been revealed and the officers express doabt as to the trutli ol the theory. Lightning Kills Boys. Leo' and Hammond JJurkholder, of Marshall, 111., were killed by lightning which struck a barn in which they had taken shelter from a storci. The barn was burned and the bodies ot the boys severely charred before they were rescued. Four other boys who went into the barn to escape the storm were severely shocked but were able to escape from the burning building. Eight rerson Ar Drowned. Tl:e Delaware steamer Columbia, on its way from Philadelphia to Bristol, Ta., crashed into a steam launch about tea miles north of Philadelphia, grinding it to pieces and causing the drowning of eight of the dozen occupanisof the small boat. All of the party were Phifadelphians. Trailing the Robbers. Detectives have trailed three of the train robbers, who held up the Canadian 1 ci; c train, near Mifilon, B. C , to the town of Lynden. about tjlye miles from Bellingham, Wash. Theturee men on bor-eback crossed, tie river near Mission and made their way down the Gu.Je Meridian line to Lynden. Nebraska bank Robbed. Robbers blew open the safe of the Bank of Palmyra, Neb., and - escaped. The bank officers do not yet know the amount of the loss, whioh may be small. This is the third safe robbery in eastern Nebraska in one week. $300,000 Fire a. Idaho Falls. , Almost every busineti block in Idaho Falls, Idaho, was piped out by fire that started in the Batte cafe and which burned leven hours. The loss will reach $500,000, with small insurance. Many Killed in Wreck. The thirl section of passenger train No. 6, a Knights Templar train, and second section. No 5, on the Southern Pa cific, collided near Laughton Springs, five miles west of Reno, Nev. It is reported that many are killed. Fell From a Train. In a dying condition, James Waldon, formerly of Vincennes, Ind., now of Evansville, was found in the Evaaiville & Terre Haute yards by the police. He claims to have fallen from a passenger train. Gold Ore Worth CO, OOO a Ton. Miners in the Sandstorm mine at Goldfield, Nevada, have uncovered ths ertötest deposit of. free milling gold or in the history of the West for many years, and a wild stampede from all parts of Nevada Is In progress.

PLUNGED TO DEATH,

Pcvrn Persons Are Killed When Train Crashes Through Carolina Trestle. Four woman passengers and three trainmen were killed and about thirtyfive persons injured in a Seaboard Air line wrecked at Catawba Junction, S. C. The wrecked train was the Sea Express due at Atlanta. Ga.. at 7:50 a. m. It plunged through a trestle at Catawba Junction, between Catawba and Wax haw, S. C, about 1:30 a. m. The train consisted of an engine, five coaches and a sleeper. An engine following the ex press plunged on top of th shattered cars. In its downward rush the train carried away all telegraph wires. It is believed that joints in the track had been tampered with and that this caused the wreck. About sixty feet of the trestle was carried away. The locomotive had crossed the place in the track where it was subsequently discovered, accord ing to a report from an officer of the road, that some person had loosened the rail connections. The train broke in two. The part in advance toppled over on the embankment south of the trestle, while the rest of the train appears to have gone through the trestle to the new ground about twenty feet below. This was followed by the light engine follow- . ing, wnien fell through the broken trestle. TWO KILLED IN WRECK. Nineteen Persons llurt on Rock Island Near Tiakilwa, 111. Two persons were killed and nineteen injured, four of them seriously, in the collision of a Rock Island passenger train and the cars of a freight train, which had been derailed near Tiskilwa, 111., Wednesday night. The freight train was running on the east-bound track when an air hose burst and in an unexplained manner caused a number of cars to pile up, several of the box cars covering the west-bound track on which the passenger train was running. The fast train struck the wrecked freight cars, and the locomotive, baggage car, smoker and chair car were thrown from the track. One of the sleeping cars left the rails, but was only slightly damaged. A relief train was immediately made up and all passengers were taken care of as soon as possible. The passenger train was the Chicago-Kansas City train. BURN GIRL WITH ACID. Robbers Attack Mabel Macpherson, Whom They Awaken While at Work. Two burglars, fearing arrest when Miss Mabel Macpherson in Chicago, discovered them in her room, threw the contents of a bottle containing carbolic acid upon the girl, burning her face and neck. The young woman fell in a faint upon her bed, and the robbers escaped. Miss Macpherson is a s-ster-in-law of Benjamin F. Crawford, president of the National Biscuit Company, and was visiting at his home in Sheridan road. The burglars were discovered by the young woman at 1:30 a. m. She was taken to the Evanston hosnital. while the police of Evanston and the Central station in Chicago were notified. APPLE CROP SHOWS INCREASE. Some Dealers Estimate the Ontputat 70,000,000 Barrels. Reports of the apple crop received in New York by large dealers indicate that' the American yield will be about 50 per cent larger than last year and 14 per cent above the average for the last ten years. Some dealers estimate the output at 7u,va),000 barrels. New York State is among the largest apple producers in the East. It is estimated its crop will be 17 per cent larger than that of last year. Exports of apples last year were valued at $8237,804, but crop conditions in Europe this season are reported good and the demand possibly will be less. Men Fall Eighty-five Feet. Andrew Baunach of Catskill, N. Y., died from injuries received in falling eighty-five feet from a railroad bridge over Croton creek, where he was at work. Baunach landed on his back and formed a cushion for the body of John Costello, a' fellow workman, who fell from the same spot. Costello was unhurt. Two Thousand Die in Battle. Two thousand men were killed and four thousand wounded in a battle lasting three days between the Uruguayan government forces and the revolutionists. Gen. Vazquez, minister of war, who led the government troops, was defeated and has retreated, abandoning arms and munitions. Mrs. Fairbank Finds Oil. Mrs. C. W. Fairbanks, wife of the rice presidential nominee, had the experience of dropping 'the "go devil" which brought in one of the best oil wells near Parker City, Ind. She volunteered to "ehoot" the well, and it is flowing at the rate of 1,000 barrels a day. Government Crop Report. The government . weekly crop report says corn has made fair progress, but much of the crop is late in maturing. Rains interfere with spring harvest and cause rust in the northern part of the wheat region. Boys in Fatal Fiat Flehte Eight-year-old Abramson, one of the eight children of Lewis Abramson, a New York tailor, was killed by a solar plexus blow struck in a fight in a public school playground. The fatal blow was struck by 10-year-old Willie Katz. Mosquitoes Ravage a Town. There is a plague of mosquitoes in the town of Eldorado, Mexico. One woman has been driven insane by the attacks of the insects, and two infants have died from their bites. The people have appealed to the State authorities for aid. Judge Kirk llawes Dead. Former Judge Kirk Hawes, who for forty yeans had been a prominent figure In the law machinery of Chicago, is dead at his summer home in Les Cheneaux IsI&nVIs, Lake Huron.; lie was a brother of Mrs. Mary J. Ilolmes, the novelist. Ktlls Wife and Himself. William E. Neal, under indictment for the murder last winter of Assistant Commonwealth Attorney James K. Spreader, in Louisville, Ky., shot and killed his wife, Nellie Robinson Neal, and then ended his own life. 8tock Yards Strike Is Ended. " The great stock yards strike in Chicago is ended. President Donnelly accepting the terms proposed by J. Ogden Armour, and ordering the butcher workmen' back to the plants; the old wages prevail. Americans in Canadian Northwest. American farmers have invaded the, Canadian Northwest, where they are wielding a big influence and expect to profit on huge tracts that are being Irrigated near Calgary. Cishop Waiden Ia Ilnrt. Dicbop J. M. Waiden, retir.1, of the Uethodirt church and his wife were seriously hurt in a runaway in Cindnnati. Urs. Walden's arm was broken and the Uiop was badly bruised. DnllSsht Despite Law. ,A bright exhibition was held rrtzt cf Ti. Louis der: "23 the efforts of CzziZ. Llc-c-ea and his deputies to ttcp U by

BANDITS LOCK MAN IN A VAULT. Then They Rob Treasurer of Melgrs Connty, Ohio, of $14.0O0. While the Meigs county cenrt house ia J Pomeroy, Ohio, was practically deserted the other day, the officials attending the county fair, two masked men entered tho office of Treasurer T. J. Chase, covered bim with revolvers nnrl fnrol Mm to open the inner door of the safe. One of them then stcod guard while the other made a careful search of the vaults, securing about $14,000, all in bills. Then shovSa1ntTWaSga,!edndb,Und and shoved Into the vault, the doors were closed and the combination turned. The desperadoes, who had evidently carefully planned the robbery, then sprinkled the floor of the office and corridors with pepper and left the court house without attracting notice. It was nearly two hours later when the treasurer's daughter came 2 mCe, and' nf. fiDdlD her fatber r:Z--.ItÄmf,:e" tanker who was called in worked the combination of the vault When released Mr. Chase was almost unconscious. A search of the safe showed that a quantity of gold had escaped the highwaymen's notice and that a small amount in silver had been picked up and then replaced. -" ncuauij carries Durgiary in surance and the treasurer is under $20,000 bond. FAMILY IS SHORT $186,000. Man, Wife and Son Involved in Fraud and Forgery Case. James Lingafelter, former secretary of the Homestead Building Association in Newark, Ohio, and his wife, were ar rested the other night. Linzafelter is charged with forging the tame of James -ivau aim jirs. unwareuer wixa making false entries to cover false entries made by her son, Robert, by which he had taken numey. Robert was arrested in Cincinnati and taken back to Newark. lie is charged with forging the i.ame of Flora Wood to stock by him fraudulently issued. He was met by a howliug mob of 1,000 at the depot, which followed him to 'Squire King's court room. Here he sat until midnight, when his wife's grandfather, Judge Charles. Follett, signed a. bond of $2.500. when he was released. The general ODinion is that young lingafelter is the cause of his family's downfall. Several proffered bondsmen were refused. Receiver Webb reports the association's deficiency at $SG,000, while the savings bank of which Langafeiter was cashier has a deficiency of S 100,000. BRITISH WIN IN THIBET. Younghusband and Native Officials Sism Formal Treaty in Lhassa. Col. Ycunghusband. head of the Brit ish mission, and the Thibetan officials have signed a formal treaty in the apartments of ths dalai lama at . Totala, Lhassa. The ceremony was simple and was conducted amid quaint and picturesqne surroundings. The terms of the treaty were read out only in the Thibetan language and its details will be published later by the foreign office in Simla. The proceedings closed with a short speech by Col. Younghusband. The dalai lama is now supposed to be well on his way into Mongolia, and the officials hisist that his action amounts to abdica tion. The administration is now carried on by a council of regency. It is believ ed that the tashi lama eventually will be recognized as the supreme religious head. The arrangements for the return of the British mission are complete. FARMERS WILL LOSE HEAVILY. Growing of Sumatra Tobacco Under Tents Not a Financial Success. The appointment of a receiver for the United States Sumatra Tobacco Grow ing Company is an indication that the raising of Sumatra tobacco under tents is not a financial success in the Connecticut valley. When the departure from the old way of growing . tobacco was made in 1902, Connecticut farmers and investors invested heavily. v It is now believed these people will lose hundreds of thousands of dollars. Roosevelt's Letter of Acceptance. President Roosevelt's letter of acceptance haa been made public. He rests his case with the voters on the achievements of his party in the vital affairs of the ration war, finance, tariff, insular administration, regulation of trusts, foreign relations and the isthmian canal holding that progress and efficiency have made for the country's best interests. Ia Slain by Negro Band. The county superintendent of schools of Leon county, Fla., has been assassinated. Six negroes have been arrested. One confessed that they were members of the "Before Day Murder Club," an organization similar to that at Stateshoro, Ga. All were taken . to Live Oak for safekeeping. Innocent negroes are in great alarm. Beats Hotel Clerk to Death. After beating the night clerk, H. S. Boiler, to death and leaving him lying on the floor of the office, a thief rifled the safe of the Greek hotel in 42d street New York, nearly opposite the Grand Central station, securing $250 in cash and a quantity of valuables which had

been left with the clerk for safekeeping. ftt a time, yet he kept on. Union Men Are Implicated.

At Sedan the French were surrounded and forced to surrender, but they were miserably handled, and, the Germans had almost double their numbers. Ku;oki, marching from his bridges across the Taitze, had twice as far to go to reach the railroad above Liaoyang as Kouropatkin, who was in Liaoyang and on the railroad. In addition, Kouropatkin has steam to increase his mobility, while Kuroki must plow his men and transports over wretched, muddy footpaths. Small forces in good positions could delay Kurokl; there were no forces on the railroad to check Kouropatkin. There Is no disposition to question the cool-headedness of the Russian general. He acquitted himself splen-

The Port Arthur situation remains obscure. There has been some heavy fighting. The Japs gained a few advantages, though probably at a heavy cost. The Russians are now forced to distill sea water because the Japanese have cut off the last remaining fresh water spring of the Russian, which was at Fort Etse. Etse and tho adjoining forts are not occupied by either side, since these positions are dominated by batteries of both sides. Indications are that there will not be an immediate resumption of the fighting in the neighborhood of Mukden.

The Japanese plan of campaign, the Chicago Record-IIerald thinks, has been a most striking exhibit of "cocksurenesa" as against "dash." The ordinary civilian thinks of war as risky adventure. The ordinary military "expert" thinks rather of the careful planning that precedes the fighting, but he nevertheless looks for plenty of dash and adventure at the critical moments,, The Japanese seem, however, to have deliberately resolved to avoid the element of risk In the campaign altogether. . They have treated the war thus far as a mechanical problem, to be worked out by mathematics. They have never made a single move till they were perfectly sure that they could win the trick. Again and again the Russians have been panic-stricken for fear of a pursuit that would overwhelm them, but the Japanese have never risked a single company In such a pursuit. They have waited at every step until they have had all the men, all tiie ammunition, all the food, all the good roads to the rear, and all the lntrenchments they needed. Then they have moved forward and won another victory. Liaoyang seems to exemplify on a larger scale Just what they have done before, and if they wait a month or two months, or even longer, before they make their next more it need be no surprise. Whether they have been too, cautious, too unwilling to trust to fortune in this respect, the outcome cf the war will show.

j IliNATiCIAL

An increasing movement of commodities and heavier dealinzs at Cbicagoi the banks reflect larger volume of business. There are, however, irregular conditions operating against the possibility of general activity, and it is unfortunate that these dominate the industrial situation, causing considerable Jdle capacity and loss of earnings. NotWithstanding the adverse effect of labor disputes. It is gratifying to find that retail trade Is showing seasonable enlargement Reports indicate that in both city and country stocks of merchandise a steady reduction Is going on, opening the way for early replenishment The latter has been much stimulated In fall lines, buyers having appeared in greater number than during last week. Transactions covered a wider variety of goods,-' and while caution was exercised in the selections made, there .were also many liberal orders, the aggregate making favorable comparison with a year ago. Recent unfavorable crop news does not appear to have adversely affected buying to the extent that had been feared. It is generally conceded that needs for the Interior are quite larsre. and mer chants are consequently anticipating trade Improvement Current transac tions exhibit gain in the important dry goods branches, in footwear and food products. The millinery and dress goods season opened up auspiciously, and more demand is noted for high grade furniture, carpets and silverware. Mercantile collections made a good showing on country bills and were a littie easier locally. Farm products are being moved In heavy volume to market but the high price to consumers has lessened the demand, and shipments from this point 3.3GS.177 bushels, are 10.3 per cent under those a year ago. Compared with the closings a week ago, corn advanced 11 cent a bushel, but declines are seen in wheat cent and oats s; cent The extension of the labor trouble' in the packLig trade hurt the market for provisions, sales being light and values weaker, in pork 13 cents a barrel and ribs 20 cents. Receipts of live stock, 284,095 head, compare with 207,502 head the same week last year. Notwithstanding the danger of an overaccumulation of supplies and spreading of the butchers' strike, values have not shown any serious break, although they closed lower in hogs 15 cents a hundredweight and in both choice cattle and sheep 10 cents. Kei YorlL Further expansion in fall trade is noted at leading centers, and the last week in August has seen the largest business done since the opening of the season. Crops have made fair progress. Collections have been nothing to boast of backward, In fact Failures were more numerous In August than in July in nearly all sections, and a few large suspensions of manufacturing concerns have swelled liabilities beyond those in August a year ago. Railway earnings show slight gains over last year. The industrial outlook is still unsettled. Efforts to revive the dying meat strike by extending it to independent houses have caused some irregularity or uncertainty In the market for live stock and for meats. General price reductions of live animals are a feature. Some more resumptions of Industrial operations are noted In different sections. The general tone of labor affairs is one of irritation. Dispatches indicate enlarged sales of dry goods, clothing and shoes, the best ' business so far this season, in fact being transacted in Chicago. Business failures in the United States for the week ending Sept 1 number ISC, against 1S5 last week, 1C2 in the like week in 1003, 133 In 1902. 109 in 1901 r.nd 154 in 1900.
