WANT BETTER GOODS.

DEMAND SHOWS IMPROVED FINANCIAL CONDITION. Settlement of Steel Strike Is Followed f»jr Speedy Resumption of Work — Little Discord Between Employer and Employe!. "Normal conditions hare been fully restored in the distribution of merchandise, the placing of delayed orders stimulating the few lines that appeared to halt. One of the most gratifying features of the business situation is the pronounced preference for the better grades of goods, clearly indicating the improved financial condition of consumers. Resumption of wort has progressed rapidly in the steel industry since the settlement of the labor controversy, and there is little discord between employer and employed in other lilies. Stability of prices, without inflation, is the rule, except where the unusual size of crops introduces a special factor,” according to R. G. Dun & Co.’s review of trade. Continuing, the report says: “Wheat is well sustained, and still better prices are promised by the heavy export movement, which from all United States ports for the week reached 5,208,413 bushels, flour included, against 3,557,482 bushels last year. Failures for the week numbered 227 in the United States, against 204 last year, and 31 in Canada, against 18 last year.”

FROM THE FOUR QUARTERS OF THE EARTH

KIDNAPED FOR RANSOM.

Btory of Capture of Miss Stone, American Missionary in Turkey. The American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions is in receipt of information concerning the capture of Miss Stone, the American missionary, and ope of her helpers by brigands in Turkey. The capture was made on the afternoon of Sept. 4, while Miss Stone and Mrs. Tsilka, the wife of an Albanian preacher, were traveling with friends from Basko to Djumao. There were nearly twenty persons in the party, which was captured by the bandits in a narrow valley. The captives were compelled by the outlaws to ascend a mountain. The brigands were dressed like Turks, although they spoke Bulgarian. The next morning the two women were missing, and only a small guard remained, as the main body of bandits had decamped. The other prisoners were robbed of their belongings and released. Twenty-four hours after the two women were kidnaped.for ransom the authorities learned of it, but the band had made good its escape. The American Board of Missions has notified the State Department at Washington that it has a representative in Constantinople who Wjl) arrange the pnee*of ransom to W paid. RACE RIOT IN TEX AS TOWN.

HARD TO INVADE NATAL. Rivers Flooded and Lyttleton’s Troops Re'dy to Meet Botba. The moment for a serious invasion of Natal, if such a plan has been in Commandant General Botha’s mind, has passed. Both the Buffalo and Tugela rivers are in flood, while Gen. Lyttleton's troops are sufficient to deal with the enemy should he elect to cross the border. It is thought probable that Botha’s plan of seeming to threaten Natal was adopted to keep the minds of the burghers occupied, and so divert attention from the expiration of the term of grace allowed by Lord Kitchener's latest proclamation. Admits Plot, bnt la Not Believed. Edward Saftig, who was arrested at St. Louis on a charge of petit larceny, told Chief of Detectives Desmond a circumstantial story of a plot to kill President McKinley, in which he, Leon Czolgosz and Frank Harrigan, who 'is described as a New York anarchist, were the principals. Saftig said he was in Buffalo at the time of the assassination and aided Czolgosz in his preparations for the crime. Saftig’s story is discredited. Fhoots His Wife; Cuts His Throat. In a fashionable resort in Omaha R. P. Sleeper surprised his young bride and shot her three times while she reclined upon a conch. Then, as if to add a fitting climax, Sleeper emptied the remaining chambers of his six-shooter in a frenzied fusillade evidently without specific aim, and tossing his empty pistol nside, he gashed his own throat with a knife. The woman’s wounds are fatal. Ten Acres in Ashes.

A runaway freight train on the dreaded Kenosha Hill, on the South Park Railway, in Colorado, caused the death of Webster Ballinger, the engineer, and injured eighteen employes of the railway. As the train crossed the crest for the plunge down the spiral descending into Platte canyon the brakes failed to work and the emergency call for hand brakes startled the crew and employes. Instantly laborers and brakemen were scrambling for tho brakes, as they knew their lives depended on quick action. In the meantime the train had gained a terrific impetus and at Sister curve, where the men could look straight down at the town of Webster, the train flew the track. The engine pitched down 300 feet into the gulch.

BIG STEAMER IN PERIL. With Rudder Gone, and Btorm Raging, Passenger* Trust in Providence. The steamship Oregon is safe, but iti improvised rudder, broken propeller and careworn passengers tell the story of ten days’ floundering around in the trough of the sea at the mercy of a gale, frequently so severe that it seemed as if nothing less than a miracle could savo the boat and its 500 passengers. The efforts of Captain Sealey and crew were finally rewarded with tho construction of an emergency rudder, which did its work, «nd then came a voyage of 1,700 miles at a snail’s pace. Short rations were ordered, and it was not until the entrance of Puget Souud became almost a certainty that regular meals were restored. The Oregon sailed from Nome with aJhill passenger list and $750,000 in treasure. Three days out it ran into a gale. The rudder post and rudder, were carried away and then one blade of the propeller was broken. Five days later the steamship Empress of was signaled and transferred a supply of food to the Oregon.

Her crew of seventeen men escaped, although they lost all of their clothing and effects. The fire originated in the engine room from an exploding lamp. The flames spread over the entire ship so fast that the crew were unable to do anything with the fire pumps, as the engine room was a mass of flames. The steamer was headed for the shore in a race to get to the beach. Land was finally reached five miles north of Bayfield and the crew escaped from the burning wreck in the clothing they had on. Captain F. A. Fick commanded the steamer and he lost a collection of bric-a-brac valued at several thousand dollars. After the Fedora struck the beach she was burned to the water’s edge.

CZOLGOSZ IS TO DIE

President’s Assassin Soon Goes ■ to Electric Chair. DAY OP DOOM FIXED. .• _ . During Ihe Week of October 28 the Wretch Will Give Up His Life. Arch Exponent of Anarchy, E icmy of Law, and Cowardly Murderer of a Nation’s Chief Is Formally Sentenced —Pallid, Weak and Cringing, He Hears His Doom Pronounced—Trial Short and Dignifi.it—CzalgosZ. Declares There Wat No P.ot. Leon F. Czolgosz, the arch exponent of anarchy, the murderer of a defenseless man, the enemy of law and authority, has heard the voice of retribution directed at himself, pronouncing death for the assassin of President McKinley. Czolgosz was found guilty by a jury on Tuesday, and on Thursday Judge While pronounced the death sentence, fixing the week of Oct. 2S as the-time during which electrocution will take place. The assassin was removed to the State prison at Auburn, where he awaits his doom.

Before sentence was passed the assassin took advantage of the opportunity given him to speak, but he confined himself to taking upon his own shoulders the blame for the great crime of having murdered the President of the United States. He advanced no reason in justification cf his monstrous deed. Not a word did he utter cf anarchy, of his enmity to government or of the motives which prompted him to the commission of his crime. The sentence was brief. "Czolgosz,” said the court, “you have committed a grave crime agaiust the State and our Union in the assassination of our beloved President. After, learning all the facts

JUDGE WHITE READING THE DEATH SENTENCE TO CZOLGOSZ.

and circumstances in the case, twelve good men have pronounced you guilty of murder in the first degree. You say that no other person abetted yon in the commission of this terrible act. The penalty is fixed by statute, find it becomes my duty to impose sentence upon you. The sentence of this court Is that in the week beginning Oct. 28, at the place designated and in the nninner prescribed by law, rou suffer the punishment of death!’’ In a hush that was like the silence of death Justice White pronounced the prisoner’s doom. Physically tottering under the ordeal, but sustaining himself by sheer force of nerve, the murderer heard the words of death-pronounced, was shackled and quietly submitted to be led away. After a full, fair and public trial he has been adjudged guilty by a duly constituted jury nud is condemned to die In the electric chair. He will be killed by the law, which be wished to kill. The Ignominious end that awaits lilm Is the same that is reserved for all who seek to put the Insane and murderous ideas of auarclilsm into operation. He will go to his death accompanied by the execrations of the civilized world. > The promptness and dispatch with which the case was disposed of in the courts Is a subject for public congratulation. No time was lost in needless quibbliugs about non-esseutlul points. The Jury was Impaneled In two or three hours, yet it was as impartial as pf a mouth had been spent on the task.

privileges of the law against which hi had raised his hand. He was represented by able attorneys, who did all that could be done in the defense of such a. prisoner. He had an opportunity to speak in his own defense, thdugh there was nothing he could say to extenuate his awful crime. The ease went to the jury with the same formalities as any other murder case, and tire speedy rendering of a verdict of guilty was in accord with the interests of justicel - Trial I* Short. Eight hours and twenty-five minutes, is the actual time occupied by the trial of the case and the deliberations aud return ot the jury. Eighteen days had elapsed from the shooting of the President, and ten days and fourteen hours since his death. On Thursday at 2 p. m., twenty days after the crime was-committed, the assassin was sentenced to death. No witnesses were sworn Tor the defense. Not a word ot evidence was before the court as so the sanity of the prisoner. The alienists who examined him wjjre not called. The court instructed the jury that the proof Of insanity is with the defendant, that a man must be presumed to be sane unless proved insane. To the assassin was offered the opportunity to go on the stand, but he only, shook his head when his lawyers asked him. v. He did not trust himself to speak. The unconcerned murderer had changed. His pallor had turned from white to gray. His hands shook. He curtained his eyeswith the lids and sat with his head hanging on his shoulders, a nervous perspiration oozing out on his face'aud hands. In remaining mute throughout the assassin found a way to hold his composure, hut in court he. was a most miserable picture.' No bravado, no courage, no defiance of death. Swfftness without haste, the naked truth, the calm but unerring .efficacy of law, the decorum of long-written precedent, the matchless majesty of reason. These are the elements which combined to make this trial almost incomparable in the Experience of those who witnessed it. Even the spectators seemed actuated by the splendid motive of fair play. They did not hiss nor storm nor buffet the assassin as he was led through their midst. Calmly they heard his arraignment. Silently they witnessed his appearance before his accusers and dumbly they heard tbe final judgment of his peers. After the reading of the verdict, as Czolgosz passed between his guards to jail, there was a feeble hissing sound of vindictive satisfaction. But even this died as it was uttered, and the arch monster of latterday criminals passed into the shadow of

death marked only by the intangible infamy of his own deed. The final acts iu the execution of justice, it is to be hoped, will be marked by the same quiet nnd expeditions methods which have marked the trial. Let the law take its course, relentlessly but dispassionately. The snuffing out of the worthless life of the assassin will he a vindication of the law, though it wUL “sunt, as absolutely - .. u .--, nothing in the balance ngninst the life which lie ended. It is one of the humiliating features of the affair that so insignificant a creature should have been able to inflict such a grent sorrow upon so many people. The only satisfaction lies In the swift and majestic -manner in which justice has been meted out to the criminal without violating a single provision of the law.
