STEALS FOR PARENTS

A GIRL CONFESSES HAVING ROBBED HER EMPLOYER. Peculations Latterly Have Reached $lO to S3O a Day and May Reach Total of More than $2,000 —Hot Stable Blaze in Chicago. .. ■ - -J—• . v~ Weeping in n cell in the Tombs in New York was Mjss Mary E. Gisldiug, who, despite the grief that swayed her and in spite Of her disheveled hair and disarranged dress, was plainly a person of education and refinement. Miss Golding had been held in the afternoon by Magistrate Finn for trial before special sessions on n specific charge of stealing sl2 from the Larkin Soap Company, for which firm she has been tashier for the last four years. Self-accused, Miss Golding had told of stealing about 52,000 from the firm. She said she did not know but the sum of her stealings might run considerably above this. Edward F. May, manager of the firm, did not Wish to prosecute the charge, but as the woman had confessed her guilt there was nothing for the magistrate to do but eommit her for trial. She confessed that it was for her father, mother and invalid sister In Buffalo that she had stolen principally. The firm learned also that Miss Golding had a suitor, a respectable business man, whom she was engaged to wed. In order to dress so as to appear pleasing to the man she loved and yet be enabled to send money to her family Miss Golding had to increase her peculations. For the last three months she had taken daily sums of from $lO to S3O and had spent days and nights of torture, she told Mr. May. dreading every minute that exposure might come. Oddly, she never was suspected. Her system of falsifying the books was not discovered, so cleverly was it done.

BURNED IN GRAND STAND. County Fair Visitors Suffer in Fire Panic in Bucyrus, Ohio. While the races at the county fair in Bucyrus, Ohio, were on, the grand stand •was discovered to be on tire. A panic followed the first announcement. Spectators in the grand stand rushed for the exit, which soon blocked the only passage to safety. Excited women, children and men leaped over., the front of the stand upon the track, twelve feet, and many were injured. Those who left the grand stand last were badly burned, as the big pine building went like tinder. Three minutes after the fire was discovered the stand was wrapped in flames. The fire was caught by a stiff breeze and was driven across the grounds, communicating from building to building. The horticultural hall went like powder. The photographic art building and newspaper headquarters were destroyed. School exhibit hall was badly damaged, and some of the stables were burned. In less than a half-hour the entire fair was wiped out.

HURT IN A FIRE.

Thirteen Persons Injured in Chicago Stable Blaze. Thirteen persons were injured, two probably fatally, a dozen horses were burned to death and property valued at $65,000 was destroyed when the threestory brick building in Chicago occupied by the La Salle Avenue livery, was burned. The fire burned until long after dark and for a time threatened large buildings in the vicinity. The destruction of the barn was marked with many incidents and rescues and thousands of persons gathered in the neighborhood to watch the blaze. While' the fire was at its height the roof and third floor collapsed, carrying with it the eastern portion of the building. Seven members of engine company No. 98 were carried down in the collapse and all were injured. One fireman jumped from the second floor. His injuries are serious and may cause his death. Two men were rescued from death after being severely burned by sliding down a refuse chute in the rear of the stable. Kansas Jail Overflowing. Because the county jail at Independence, Ivan., is “full and running over” with jointkeepers, Judge Flannelly of Independence has been forced to postpone for one week the sentencing of twenty-one men convicted of violating the liquor laws. Other Kansas ja'lls that have beeu tenantless for months are being filled with “jointists,” all due to Governor Iloch's crusade.

Prisoners Escape from Jail. Four prisoners confined in the Lorain, Ohio, jail cut their way through a teninch wall and escaped. It is believed that the men were aided from the outside. Late for Worki Fatally Shot. Because he was late In reporting for work, Frank Kennedy, chef at n leading hotel in St. Joseph, Mo., shot and fatally wounded Frank Boyer, his assistant. Fatal Stampede at Fort Riley. One artilleryman was killed and a dozen others were injured,.some fntally, in a stampede of horses during target practice at Fort Biley, Kan. Btabs Wife While Drunk. While insane from excessive drinking Elmer Washburn of Vermilion, 8. D., ■tabbed his wife six times with a knife. The woman will probably die. He Haa One Wife Too Many. Jacob Weinstein, a tailor, is under re«t in Kansas City on the charge of a Chicago woman that he has two wives. Weinstein admitted that he wedded two women, but insisted that he believed one of them was dead before he remarried. Robber Oeta $5,000. William Bills, an Australian horseman, was struck over the head with a blunt instrument in a room in the heart of the residence district of Berkeley, Cal., and robbed of $5,000 in English bank notes. The robber escaped.

TAGGART IS GIVEN DECREE.

Oomrt Also Awards the Captain Custody of the Children. At Wooster, Ohio, Captain Elmore F. Taggart, U. S. A., was-awarded | a decree of divorce from his wife, Grace Culver Taggart, and given possession of their two children, Charles Culver, aged 11, and Elmer F., Jr., aged 7. The sensational ease which has stirred army circles both in this country and Europe reached its finale Friday afternoon when Judge Eason, who heard the evidence, read a long opinion. • The court, though denying Mrs. Taggart the custody of the two boys, ordered that she be permitted to see them at stated intervals. In this respect alone was Mrs. Taggart given much consideration. Judge, Eason clearly leaned to the theory that the mother was not a fit person to whom to intrust her offspring. Among the causes for reaching this conclusion was Mrs. Taggart’s alleged intrigues with “Billy” Taggart and with Captain Fortesque, said to be a relative of President Roosevelt. The court censured both woman and men severely. Judge Eason had a good deal to say about the use of intoxicants, and said that of excessive drunkenness preferred against Captain Taggart had not been sustained, - The habit of imbibing frequently was a subject of comment, however? and evidently the court believed that it played a part in the alienation of the couple. “The first time Captain Taggart saw the flush of liquor on his wire’s brow lie should have banished it from his

sideboard,” said the judge. “It can be said to the credit of the army that this entire case has not developed one single case of drunkenness.” Sneaking of the main cause of the differences between the Taggarts, the court stated: “It appears that there never was any dispute about financial matters and that all the difficulty was due to their relations with others.” The judge concluded: “I will leave the gross neglect and two charges of adultery stand as the ground of the divorce, giving Captain Taggart the divorce.” « The Taggart trial lasted seven weeks. The case went to the court a month ago. The suit was first started in July, 1904, by Captain Taggart, who filed petition for divorce, charging his wife with conduct unbecoming a wife and alleging the excessive use of intoxicants. Mrs. Taggart heard of the proceedings in San Francisco several weeks later and immediately started for Wooster, the home, of the Taggarts, where she filed a counterpetition for divorce against Captain Taggart on the grounds of cruelty and neglect. The case has been of exceptional interest because of statements during the trial by Captain Taggart that the use of intoxicants in the army was so common as to be almost the custom. A number of prominent army officers were named in Captain Taggart’s petition as having been more or less the cause of the domestic troubles between Captain and Mrs. Taggart.

ANNUL MARKEL’S CONTRACT.

Cunal Supplies Will Be Handled Under Commissioner's Order. The last action of the Panama canal commission before sailing from Colon for New York was the annulment of the contract awarded to J. E. Market of Omaha, Neb., for feeding and caring for tho employes of the canal. The reason for this action is that Chief Engineer Stevens, through the department of materials and supplies, under Messrs. Jackson and Smith, is handling the commissaries successfully, rendering unnecessary the arrangement. The contract with Mr. Market was to run five years and It was estimated that it would involve $50,000,000. Hudgins & Dumas, one of the other firms bidding for the contract, protested against the award to Mr. Markel, alleging favoritism and charging that the latter was enabled through a leuk in the office of Chairman Shontz to gain information about the other bidders whiefi aided uiin in bidding successfully. The Ohio Archaeological and Historical Society held dedicatory exercises to commemorate the Big Bottom uiussacre and accept the monument and grounds donated by Obadinh Brokaw, who has owned the Big Bottom farm forty years and is 83 years old. Prof. L. Eddy, a teacher at the Kentucky State school for the deaf at Danville dropped dead in the school room. Prof. Eddy was a noted astronomer. Three hundred and twelve structural iron workers employed on four large buildings in Baltimore were ordered out.

BIGGEST TRADE YEAR

FOREIGN COMMERCE FOR 1006 BREAKS RECORD. Largest Volume of Import* and Exports Ever Recorded—Revenue Skewing Gains—lmprovement Since Close of Fiscal Year—Big August Figures.Washington correspondence: Commercial activity indicated by current statements of the Department of Commerce and Labor suggest that, if business continues at the shown by August foreign trade statistics, the calendar year of 1905 will enjoy the largest volume of imports and exports ever recorded. Figures just published for August show that exports of manufactures during that month increased nearly $9,000,000, or about 25 per cent, as compared with August a year ago, and about 520,000,000 as compared with August, 1901. Meantime manufacturers have in< creased their consumption of materials imported for use in various processes of domestic industry until the August imports of crude materials for use in manufacturing have increased, nearly 52,000,000 over the imports of August, 1904. For the eight months ended with August there has been an increase of about 550,000,000 in imports, compared with the corresponding period a yeas ago. Up to Aug. 31, 1905, imports amounted to 5770,412,020, as against $067,269,304 in the preceding year; and exports were valued at $900,012,007, as compared with $851,203,457 in the first eight months of 1904. The value of manufactures exported during the first eight months of 1905 practically equaled the total exports of manufactures during the entire calendar year 1899, being $370,198,079, as against a total of $380,787,891 for the entire year 1899.

Comparison of Figures. Current government figures show also that more manufactures are being exported from than are imported into the country—a condition which has been brought about during the short period since 1897. Imports of manufactures (including in that term for this comparison manufactures ready for consumption, articles wholly or partially manufactured for use as materials in the mechanic arts, and articles of voluntary use and luxuries) aggregated during August $45,000,000, while exports of manufactures during that month showed a total of $51,000,000. During the eight months ended with August, 1905, imports of manufactures, including all degrees of manufacture, aggregated $322,000,000, while exports of manufactures amounted during the same period to $370,000,000.

As recently as 1897 the records of our foreign commerce showed an importation of $283,000,000 worth of manufactures during the calendar year, as against $280,000,000 worth of manufactures exported. The following year was the first to show exports of manufactures in excess of imports of manufactures, and since 1898 there has been a steady increase in the outward flow of the products of our manufacturing industries. During the eight-month periods of the years named exports of manufactures have increased from $190,000,000 in 1897 to $376,000,000 in 1905, while imports of manufactures have only increased from $212,000,000 in 1897 to $322,000,000 in 1905. Gain in Revenue. Duties collected from customs have increased materially since the close of the fiscal year 1905, that year having shown no appreciable increase in customs revenue as compared with the preceding year. The total amount of duties collected from customs during the fiscal year 1905 was $262,000,528, as against $262,013,079 in 1904, the increase being very slight, while for June, the closing month of the fiscal year 1905, the total customs revenue was $22,504,652, as against $22,590,692 in June of the preceding year. The revenues derived from customs show a decided improvement since the close of the fiscal year. Thus the revenue derived from customs in July, 1905, amounted to $21,590,149, as against $19,483,750 in July of the preceding year, and in August amounted to $26,181,282, as compared with $22,417,674 in August, 1904. For the eight months ended Aug. 31, 1905, the total customs revenue aggregated $177,926,029, as against $170,475,010 in the same months of the preceding year, and of this Increase of $7,451,013, $0,570,007 was accumulated during the two months of July und August of the present year.

JAP DEATH ROLL.

Mikado'a Government Reporta 72 ( 450 Fatalities Daring War. The Japanese report 72,450 fatalities during l the war with Russia. Of the dead 46,180 were killed Jn battle, 10,970 died of wounds, and 15,300 of disease. No account is taken of those disabled by wounds or disease. In a war of eighteen months, in which five battles independent of the siege of Port Arthur and several naval engagements were fought!; Japan lost by death 72,450 men. In the Civil War, In which operations extended over four years, the Union army lost 07,058 men killed on the field, 43,012 who died of wounds,, and 249,458 who died of disease. The Confederate loss was 94,000 killed and mortally wounded and 59,297 by disease. The several armies were engaged in forty-eight battles and in many long and exhausting campaigns, but in no battle of the Civil War were half as many troops in-ac-tion as were engaged at Liao Yang or Mukden. Satisfactory comparison between the battles of the Russo-Japanese war and those of our Civil War or those of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 cannot be made until reports in detAil are at hand, says the Chicago Inter Ocean. It is apparent, however, that of the many wounded a larger per cent recovered than in any previous war. This was due partly to improvements in surgery, to well organized hospitals, and to a better emergency service in battle. It was due also in part to the character of wounds made by the modern rifle fired At long range. The observation of surgeons during the war was to the effect that men recovered more from gunshot wounds than in our Civil War or in the Franeo-Prussian war. It was also contended that, firing at long rafige, the modern rifle was not the equal of the old rifle in effecting permanent disability. All these contentions seem to be sustained by the report of the Japanese authorities. “ However, the most remarkable feature of the Japanese fatality list is the sraal! number of deaths from disease. With probably 500,000 men in the field only 15,300 deaths by disease are reported. It is true that the campaigns were not like those in the Civil War. It is true that the 249,458 deaths from disease iri the Union army in the Civil War include fatalities along ail the short term and unseasoned regiments that entered into the composition of a total enlistment of 2,500,000 men. Yet, after all allowances have been made, the small death rate by disease in the Japanese army must be credited to better sanitary regulations, better organization in hospitals for the treatment of camp diseases, and better methods in handling contagious diseases. It was the rule in the Japanese army to send the seriously wounded and the seriously sick to home hospitals as soon as possible, where they could receive the best surgical and medical treatment. The genius of the Japanese medical staff was directed to the saving of men, and in both the Russian and Japanese armies the wounded were so carefully and intelligently treated that the majority returned to the ranks in a short time. The wonder is not that Japan lost 57,000 men by death in battle, but that she lost only 15,300 by disease.

THINNING OUT THE CITIES.

Rural Delivery, Which Is Expensive, Has That Effect. Rural free delivery seems destined to entail a «cost of $60,000,000 a year to the government, writes a Washington correspondent. Legislators are not worried over the necessity of appropriating this enormous sum, however, since they think that rural delivery tends to thin o,ut the population of the cities. Any .scheme that works to this end they believe is worth investing government money in. Senators and Representatives of States having large cities look upon this vast appropriation for rural delivery as an injustice to their constituents. They insist that a reasonable division of postal revenues shall go for pneumatic tubes and other facilities for quickening the mail service for the congested centers. A single building in New York City contains 5,200 persons during the working day, and they are nearly all letter writers. Their average use of the postal service probably equals that of 52,000 people in the rural counties. It is necessary to make -33 collections a day in some of the New York buildings to get the accumulating mail out of the way. An inspector, desirous of establishing a rural route, has to exert himself to the utmost to count in 100 families which could be served in a ride of 24 miles. There are hundreds of routes in operation to-day for the accommodation of a much smaller number of households, and in making rural delivery universal, within limits of practicability, which is now the aim of Congress and of the department, it will be necessary to include a great many routes of considerably less than 100 families. It is generally agreed rural delivery does not “pay,” but this is a consideration over which the American people lose little sleep. They like an efficient postal establishment, and they intend to fight for it. The rural delivery service should be as near complete as, with a constantly Increasing population, it will ever be, by 1910. To-day there are in operation 81,790 rural routes, which cover nearly 700,000 square miles. It is estimated that it will tako about 18,000 additional carriers to cover the available territory not now supplied, which amounts to 1,000,000 square miles. When the service reaches its limit it will cost SOO,000,000 per year.

Conceit of the Rooster.

Were it not for the disgusting selfconceit of the roosters one might enjoy a poultry show. The rqpster is near to nature’s heart He has not civilization enough to veneer his opinions with common politeness and savior faire, and his disgusting exhibition of the art of being it offends good taste and refinement. How the hen manages to put up with it is certainly one of the mysteries of the coop. If six or eight hens would join a hens’ club modeled after Sorosis and throw the rooster down good and hard once or twice, he would soon discover that he was not the only kernel on the cob.—Minneapolis Journal.

An Honest Opinion.

Mineral, Idaho, Oct 16. —(Special.)— That a sure cure has been discovered for those sciatic pains that make so many lives miserable, is the firm opinion of Mr. D. S. Colson, a well-known resident of this place, and h«s does not hesitate to say that cure is Dodd’s Kidney Pills. The reason Mr. Colson is so firm in his opinion is that he had those terrible pains and is cured. Speaking of the matter, he says: “I am only too happy to say Dodd’s Kidney Pills have done me lots of good. I had awful pains in my hip so I could hardly walk. Dodd’s Kidney Pills stopped it entirely. I think they are a grand medicine.” All Sciatic and Rheumatic pains are caused by Uric Acid in the blood. Dodd’s Kidney Pills make healthy kidneys and healthy kidneys strain all the Uric Acid out of the blood. With the cause removed there can be no Rheumatism or Sciatica.

Quiet Tip.

“Papa,” said the millionaire soap manufacturer’s daughter, “I do wish you wouldn’t boast continually of being a self-made man.” “Why not?” queried the fond parent. “Because,” she explained, “if you would keep quiet people might think it was only grandfather.”

FOR WOMEN.

Mnch that Every Woman Desire* to Know Is Found in Cnticnra “Cuticura Works Wonders.” Too much stress cannot be placed on the great value of Cuticura Soap, Ointment and Pills in the antiseptic cleansing of the mucous surfaces and of the blood and circulating fluids, thus affording pure, sweet and economical local and constitutional treatment for weakening discharges, ulcerations, inflammations, itchings, irritations, relaxations, displacements, pains and irregularities peculiar to females, as well as such sympathetic affections as anemia, chlorosis, hysteria, nervousness and debility.

A Full Stop.

A returned traveler who spent half of bis holiday in a tour of Ireland brought back a sample of the happy-go-lucky wit of the Irish “jarvey,” or driver. In a breakneck race down a hill he suddenly realized that the spirited little Irish mare was running away. “Pull her up!” he shouted, excitedly- t “Hold tight, your honor,” returned the jarvey, easily. “Pull her up!” again commanded the traveler, making a grab for the reins. “For yo'ur life don’t touch the reins,” the jarvey answered, without tightening his grip. “Sure, they’re as rotten as pears.” The traveler made ready to jump, but the jarvey laid a soothing hand on his shoulder. “Sit easy,” he said, reassuringly" “I’ll turn her into the river at the bridge below here. Sure, that’ll stop her.”

Just a Wish.

There was no doubt as to who was the head of the Meekun family, to judge by a trifling passage at arms chronicled by the\Chicago Tribune. “What are you doing with that sheet of paper, Orville?” sharply asked his wife. “I am making a wish,” answered Mr. Meekun. “A wish?” “Yes, my dear. In your presence I shall not presume to call it a will.”

COFFEE NEURALGIA

Leaves When Yon Qnit and Use Poetnm A lady who unconsciously drifted Into nervous prostration brought on by coffee says: “I have been a coffee drinker all my life, and used it regularly three times * day. “A year or two ago I became subject to nervous neuralgia, attacks of nervous headache and general nervous prostration, which not only incapacitated me for doing my housework, but frequently made it necessary for me to remain in a dark room for two or three days at a time. “I employed several good doctors, one after the other, but none of thsm was able to give me permanent relief. “Eight months ago a friend suggested that perhaps coffee was the cause of my troubles, and that I try Postum Food Coffee and give up the old kind. I am glad I took her advice, for my health has been entirely restored. I have no more neuralgia, nor have I had one solitary headache in all these eight months. No more of my days are wasted in solitary confinement in a dark room. I do all my own work with ease. The flesh that I lost (fcirlng the years of my nervous prostration has come back to me during these months, and I am once more a happy, healthy woman. I enclose a list of names of friends who can vouch for the truth of the statement" Name given by Postum Co., Battle Creek, Mich. There's a reason. Ten days’ trial leaving off coffee and using Poatum is sufficient

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

j The absence of specuiaCulC3l]o. | tive operations is conspic- — Luous and is a testimony to the healthy basis upon which current business progresses. While net interest returns are too low for bond buyers, as contrasted WUb the present value of money, considerable investment is seen in reaity and Improvements, together with more activity iu local securities, indicating confidence in the stability of affairs. Bank exchanges invariably’reflcct an accurate approximation of the city's commercial activity, and, despite higher discount rates, it is noteworthy that the totals for both September and this week excel all previous corresponding periods. While prices for the leading raw materials are high and to some extent evince further hardening, the prevailing tone remains encouraging, conditions generally being strongly supported tire volume of forward demands, which assures steady employment well into next year. Retail traffic has made seasonable expansion. Fall expositions never before were more artistically presented by the State street stores, and with unusually brilliant weather their attractiveness drew enormous throngs. Many visiting buyers made good purchases in the principal jobbing lines, less diminution in sales appearing than was expected, considering the exceptional demands of last month. Satisfactory bookings occurred In dry goods, •clothing, footwear and woolens and the demand improved for furniture. Mercantile collections in the Middle West make a good showing, and country store trade is doing well in the lieavy lines and farm needs. Shipping rooms have remained quite busy, resulting in freight offerings surpassing all previous experience of the Western roads. Other freight movements, particularly of iron and steel, are unprecedented. Failures reported in the Chicago district number twenty-nine, against thirty-two last week and twenty-seven a year ago.—Dun’s Review of Trade.

Tj y ! While not so active as NSW IOrK. in recently preceding weeks, the volume of trade still exceeds expectations. Contributing to this are better reports from retail lines, necessitating reorders of seasonable goods, fall festivals, enlarging crop movement, and a continued immense turnover iu industrial lines. Undiminished activity is witnessed in the iron trade, demand for crude and finished products surpassing previous years at this period. Higher levels of future cost, particularly as to coke and ore, confront these trades. Collections for the country as a whole are good. Something like a downward swing in prices of agricultural products is iu evidence this week, a result of the pressure of new large crops of fine quality, which augurs for lower prices of feeding stuffs and cheaper cost of meat production in the coming winter. Wheat, including flour, exports for the week ending Oct. 5, are 1,072,642 bushels, against 2,064,932 last week. 1,105,928 this week last year, 2,378.722 in 1903, and 5,645,779 in 1002. From July 1 to date the exports are 17,099,375 bushels, against 18,548,711 last year, 42,676,084 iu 1903, and 71,525,492 in 1902.—Bradstreet’s Commercial Report.
